We know a patriot who it waiting
for the nation to call for volunteer
generals.
We are beginning to wonder which
is the worse, the radio commentators
of the newspaper columnists.
Many a patriot is giving his time
to the nation?at twice what he was
making before service began.
American women may favor the
Chinese bat they still wear Japanese
silk stockings.
Smokers never born up money;
they born up tobacco and the money
stays in circulation.

People who want everything they

rarely read the Bible.
DR. GALLUP DEFENDS HIS
FORECAST
Dr. Gallup, who conducts the fam
ous polls of the American Institute
of Public Opinion, defends the ac
curacy of the present presidential
poll, asserting that it will reflect the
election outcome just as other Gallnp
polls have done is the past.
The poll-expert reminds the public
that his business depends upon the
accuracy of his forecast. He says,
quite properly, that he will cease
writing for the newspapers in No
vember if he polls a phoney, like that
of the Literary Digest, in the last
election.
Dr. Gallup is right. Of course, his
poll may be erroneous but the fact
remains that his business of fore
casting will be exterminated if he
misses this election. Regardless of
his inclinations, or preferences, he is
more concerned with the accuracy of
his predictions than anybody else in
the United States.
WHO TOOK THE FOOD? -
Lady Astor, sharp-to ngued Vir
ginian, who has played an interest'
' ing role in British political affairs,
begs Americans not to fall for Hit
ler's propaganda about starving Eu
rope.
She points out that when Hitler
entered Denmark, the Danes had
enough food to last two years and.
that even France had full rations, ex
cept for pastries. Holland and Nor
way were well-off for food.
If theee countries lade food today,
Lady Astor wants to know what be
came of their food and what will be-,
come of any food that is sent to them.
Wo think the people of this coun
try understand the situation. They
are extremely sorry for the- people
of the Nazi-seized lands but they
have no intention of patting any
' ? piesme upon the British to relax
their blockade. They knots that even
if the food that they sent did nothing
hat keep the conquered populations
ijGermany because RWer would com
msadeer them to labor in behalf of
Germany's war effort

FAS EAST
One way to gttage the situation in
the Far. East is to see whether anoth
er group otf battleships, enriwera, de
stroyers, submarinee, and supply
ships come to the-Fadfic Coast. I*st
week, the first group of ships com
pleted a visit to the Coast and it was
planned to permit other vessels to
come to the Coast in turn. If a sec
ond detachment comes home from
Hawaii, it will mean that no im
mediate crisis is in sight.
CHALLENGED
One of the cases before the Su
preme Court involves the contention
of 39 states that the Federal Gov
ernment is invading powers reserved
to the states through its attempt to
regulate power projects on non
navigable streams.
TO SEND SHIPS
American liners are to be sent to
China in order to assist in bringing
home Americans who are anxious to
leave the Orient. With something
like 15,000 Americana in the Far
East, the United States has suffi
cient tonnage available for their em
ergency voyage home.
GOLD
The flow of gold into the United
States is beginning to slacken, ac
cording to the Department of Com
merce, bat the monetary gold stock
of this country increased $881,644,
000 in September. It now totals
$21,244,382,000.
BUT LESS; SELL MORE
While trade between the United
States and Latin America has in
creased substantially during the past
twelve months, there is an increasing
disparity between the amount we sell
and what we buy. While exports in
creased fifty per cent to $788435,
000, imports increased only thirty
one per cent, $515,915,000.
SAFE CONDUCT
Italian Admiral Giuseppe Canto,
who has been representing his na
tion ah the World's Fair, and ten
members of his staff, will be per
mitted to go back to Italy. The- ?
British Government has granted safe
passage as an act of courtesy to the
United States because the Italians
were in this co untry on an invitation
extended to them by the American
Government.
MONEY
Money in circulation on September
30th amounted to $8451,820,514, or
an average of $61.58 for each man,

Missing personality whose nrtrawye
on all who came in dose contact with

DeSoto's
Lakeside: after fifteen yearst ^That
true gentleman is Roland ParkeR
He was truly a great man in that j
he 1o?b& and wanted only to see the
good in everybody|Hw|^t:;a ,iew.
His magnetic personality was of love
and. tolerance^toleranae' in all that
was .good and pveiihpdowiBg the bad,
with the good. ;;He ;w?a humbl?^,?i
was and is this quality that keepe;
him ever in the service ?f his fellow
man.
Mr. Parker lives on here?his spirit
is pot dead. He lives on in the minds
of those who knew him and all that
he did. He was liberal, yet not radi
cal, conservative, still, in his personal
tastes. Sincere in all that was de
serving, and ahvayB pressing for
some new and good thing that he
could do to serve.
?Those things he did for men while
here, too, are not dead?they are the
material, the tangible that remains
of him here. Yet that is overshadow
ed by the intangible.
He is at the University of North
Carolina now?in an. advisory capaci
ty in which here he did so much good.
He is teaching history, and most
knew his passion for the tiruth Jp
that subject and in all ways, ^e
say that we know his success is pi-i
sured wherever he goes,- becjause ua
serves in all ways- to all men.
