Nonsense A bill was recently introduced in Congress to require the government to spend $30,000,000 for newspaper advertising, One of the arguments used against the measure was that its would corrupt the press. passage llUS 18 nonsense. If the government can corrupt the press by spending 30, 000,000 what can a reader expect when business spends many times that sum ? OPA Has A Birthday Wednesday was the second birth day for the Office of Price Adminis tration. During the two years of its exist ence, not without trials and tribula-1 tions and plenty of red tape, the OPA has done a hard job well. ' Our local board, consisting of E. ' Leigh Winslow and George Nowell, as well as the clerks of the board, is to 'be congratulated for the splendid job of serving the people of Per-, quimans. This newspaper believes the Perquimans ration board to be one of the best and fairest of the en-. tire nation. It has carried out its' job in a fine manner and has always strived to assist every resident of the 1 county in overcoming the hardships necessitated by shortages. .In spite of the red tape, which seems, always, to go with all gov ernmental agencies, OPA has done a fine job in holding down the costs of living. It is true that many items cost more now than a year ago, but on the whole, prices are far cheaper now man during uie secona year oi World War I, and if the public co operates 100 per cent with OPA by refusing to do business in black mar kets, the task of the OPA shall be easier and prove more effective. Naturally, a lot of people are in clined to cuss OPA when they find they cannot continue to buy mer chandise as usual, but it should be remembered that shortage of civil ian goods is one of the evils of war and that many of those articles you can not buy are going to the boys of the Armed Forces who are doing their best to bring the war to an end. A Year Of Promise If the predictions of our high of ficials prove true, we can look to the year 1944 as one of hope and promise. Government and military authori ties have announced that the war in Europe will ibe won during 1944, and possibly we can have the Japs on the run before the year bows out That hope should at least cause much serious thinking on the part of '.ovArvnnp- nnH vp should remember the words of General Eisenhower, who added to his prediction that 1944 would be one of victory "providing we all continue to work for vie- : torv." yNonh CsrotiiM wJk There can be little doubt but what m8 astonishing to this day? !

There is sound military sense in the shifting of the Eisenhower-Montgom-1 erv-Tedder-Siaats-Doolittle team from the Mediterranean proving ground to the crucial second-front theatre. These men have worked to gether under combat conditions. They can count on each other and their troops can count on battle-tested leadership. It would not be surpris ing if they are taking with them a nucleus at least of the hardened veterans of Africa, Sicily and Italy. A second feature of the coming of fensive is the manifest plan to have air power play a co-ordinate, possi bly the leading, role.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON JESUS AT WORK International Sunday School far January 9, 1944. Lesson GOLDEN TEXT: "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh, when no man can work." John 9:4. (Lesson Text: Murk 1:23-2:14) Four cities stand out in the life of Jesus. He was born in Bethlehem, ne grew up as a boy in Nazareth, and died in Jerusalem and during his i:fe he dia hi vratat in .,, around Capernaum. The latter city was situated on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, surrounded by a very populous neighborhood. Our lesson tells of a Sabbath day's work there. In the synagogue of Capernaum Jesus taught and the people were "astonished at his teaching." There was no wonder that his doctrines surprised them. As a matter of fact, they are just as revolutionary today as then. He adviBed all his hearers to love their enemies would not th s ad monition be greeted with astonish ment today if practically applied? He told men and women busy with the purpose actuating many hearts today, that of making money, that material riches were not so impor tant. He told the rich young ruler to sell all that he had and give away his wealth. The parable of the rich fool point ed out the inadequacy of wealth in the fatal hour of death yet how many millions of professing Chris nans make the acquisition of money the prime motive of life? He advised people interested h. getting all they could out of life "'v- lne e way to save their lives waj to. '8e them, to live unselfishly I and &ive themselves for the happi- ness of others.

Our modern thought does not ad mit the existence of demons in this sense and many believe that in ef fecting his miraculous cures Jesus resorted to the language of his day, or followed the current . scientific knowledge about such matters. Or, it might just be that our ma terial science denies the existence of demons just as it questions the actual proof of the existence of souls, be- I cause the knowledge acquual in malarial cnoroa rlnoB nnt . Hpmnn- ,. j ,i in the city flocked to the great healer for relief from pain and disease. Such miraculous cures are not experienced today, but everywhere Christianity has gone it has taken the hospital and modern medical relief. Following the busy day, with all its demands on nerve and muscle, Jesus rested during the night. How-: ever early in the morning ("a great while before day," possibly to avoid me crowds), Jesus went off to a olace of solitude for Draver. rwiewinc his spiritual power and faith through this divinely appointed means. If Jesus had need for prayer, what about the ordinary man and woman? What wonders might be ours if we sought spiritual strength earnestly? L.VIDLKE NEWS Miss Mildred Copeland, student at E. C. T.

Newby. file EARLY in 1 943 whn the country was faced with a disastrous pulpwood shortage, tht Secretary of Agriculture said, "Tho only place we can look for additional supplies is from the farm woodlot". And the farmers ot America did not let him down. Their patri otic response helped a lot to supply much needed pulpwood for war industries. ... Now, as we enter 1944 It is clear that a serious pulpwood shortage will continue. But farmers have learned that pulpwood cutting is good business as well as sound patriotism. Now is the best time to thin wood lots when pulpwood prices are at their peak. And recent rulings of the War Manpower Commission encourage farmers to cut pulpwood In off seasons by counting it as war unit credits to ward deferment. 1 - ' . And so the farmers of America are asked to make pulpwood cutting an important part cf their ,1 944 work prcrcm, It Is off season work; profitable Vrkpatriottc work. Do all you can. Your country needs every crd you can cut. Keep In touch wiJh your local pulpwood committee. : " ''- ?, - h ) ' . 1 ; L. r CHAPANOKE NEWS ' viJ.kJ ttii.
