Re-arnument for self-defense is
one thing- ami militarism is another.
A born trader keeps up with his
kinsmen when baying and forgets
them when selling.
Now that die United States has
most of the world's gold, oar biggest
bankers are worried about it
Insurance is often carried when
not needed and needed when not car
ried.
Two natons that have gained the

It is surprising, bow many excuses
some people can find for not con
tributing money.
There are any number of small boys
and girls in Pitt County who are
beginning to take an interest in
Santa Claus and his health.
Everybody is for economy until
they need an appropriation or an im
provement for a pet project of their
own.
Individuals who set out to reform
the human race will find themselves
pretty tired before the work is com
pleted.
Advertise, brother, and watch your
business grow in accordance with its
merits, which is all that you should
expect.
TO "ASTONISH THE WORLD"
Godfrey Haggard, British consular
official in this country, believes that
the peoples of the countries occupied
by Germany are building up their
strength ami that there will, some
day, emerge an armed alliance that
will "astonish -the world, including
Hitler."
We trust the gentleman is correct
Certainly, there is no reason why the
peoples of the conquered nations
should be satisfied with their lot
under their German masters. The
will to strike a blow for their own
liberation undoubtedly exists but just
how and where and when is a mys
tery to us.
Frankly,, we would not advise the
people of the British empire to
count too heavily upon any armed
uprising in the conquered lands. A
rebellion against a German army of
occupation, just now, would have lit
tle chance at success in any nation.
If the British are able to inflict a de
cisive defeat upon Germany, toe re
bellions will flare-up, rapidly enough,
on the heels of the retreating Teu
tons, whose position will be precari
ous.

CCC PAY PLAN
Men in the Civilian Conservation
Corps, who receive $30 a month, will
have $7 of their pay set aside in a
special fund to be paid to them in a
lump sum on discharge. The plan,
it is hoped, will give the enrollees a
fund to help them get started "in a
new life" upon discharge. Hereto
fore, $22 of the 880 monthly pay
went to dependents of the enrollees.
After January 1, dependents will de
ceive 815. The men will receive $8
a month in cash.
