Money talks except when it is
making an exorbitant profit.
The trouble with most editorial
paragraphs is the lack of ideas.
Newspaper man's dream: Two
weeks to go and no deadline to catch.
Any fool can plan a program, but
nobody, except a fool, never plans.
*As we read the news, almost every
thing is streamlined or bottle-neck
ed.
There is only one time for any
individual to take a forward stride: J
immediately.
Education, like vaccination of the
individual, is a good thing provided
it "takes."
? As profits begin to pile up. busi
nessmen begin to warm up to the
defense program.
The individual has to be taught to
appreciate and support the better
things of life.
The Enterprise hopes to render
service to its subscribers but it can
not give you the best service unless
you .give it your cooperation.
THE SOUTH SUPPORTS
BRITAIN
It is interesting that the Southern
States show a greater willingness to
take the gamble of a possible war re
sulting from aid to England than any
other section of the United States.
The South, it should be recalled,
did not have the moral support of
the British government in the War
Between the States but, by contrast,
the British have the full measure of
Southern support at the present
time.
"ENGLAND WILL WIN"
"England will win," says Quentin
Reynolds, war correspondent. and
magazine writer, who was in France
throughout the German assault and
in England for months under Nazi
bombings.
The correspondent, lately returned
to this country, says on the basis of
his experience, that "England not
only can take it, she will keep right
on taking it." Mr. Reynolds says
that the British have the will to take
it, and nothing will crush them.
They have enough of the things they
need now and he doesn't think that
the Germans will be able to keep
supplies from America from reach
ing the British.
I SPRING, 1941
The year 1941 gets underway with
the fate of the world in doubt with
two great peoples fighting to the
death across the Atlantic Ocean and
the impact of their encounter spreads
I around the world.
I Winter is around us but Spring is
I just ahead. To many brave men it
will bring suffering and death; to
untold millions, despair, devastation
and disaster.
Nature revolves in her normal
cycle. Flowers will soon replace ice
and btjqw as the gaunt and bony
hand of death prematurely closes the
I eyelids of num.
I The earth will be clothed m beauty
I even though the heart of mankind
throbe in bloody agony as men pay
for their errors, ignorsnoe and sin.
Buds will blossom again on the
face of the earth, without knowing
I. that meo have died, but humanity
I will smile in the midst of grief,
I ' knowing that mankind will bloom
I again.

against the UnftecTstatee. Not only
the United States, resulting in
strikes, increased radicalism and a
general breakdown in the stability of
the social order. This, in turn, would
affect the Government and seriously
impair our defensive position.
An Axis war against the United
States, after such an economic de
bacle bad wrecked the morale of our
people, would be a pushover.
BOOK REVIEW
In order to stimulate interest in
the. better books on the Farmville
Library shelves, Miss Emily Gayle,
librarian,, has requested patrons to
write short reviews, which will be
published in these columns each
week.
THE NAZARENE
The Nazarene is not a book to idle
away some moments; it is a book
that will grasp your mind; it will stir
your emotions. It is the story of
Jerusalem under the hated Soman
rule; it is the story of the people
that Jesus knew and the atmosphere
into which He was born. Written in
three parts, the book is thoroughly
realized and vividly expressed. The
second part, fragments of the Gospel
according to the disciple, Judas
Iscariot, is revealing in it's scope of
understanding. The author, Sholem
Asch, jewish novelist and playwright,
was born in Poland in 1880; he pos
sesses both the talent and the schol
arship requisite to such an under
taking.
