WHO'S GOING TO 8ACRIFICE WHAT? The American people, driven by the need (or military security, must build a military establishment costly beyond all precedents: An Incredible proportion of the national Income must be taken from tbe pockets of the people and diverted to government. All of us will have fewer luxuries. All of us must conservr All of us must sacrifice. That is clear enough and reasons ble enough. But It has become tragically plain that a very substantial portion of the American people have the idea that the other fellow should 'make most, if not all of the sacrifices. It's the other fellow's standard of living which should suf fer. not their own. It's the other fellow who should pay the bill anl do the work, while they go on much as they did before. Those who have gone on government relief as a career favor sacrifice, too?so long as it doesn't touch relief appropriations. The government, under the guise of "relief." still pays out millions for leaf raking, boondoggling and other com pletoly non-productive activities. Powerful influences demand that not one nickel of this waste be eliminated, no matter how much othore utiOrif leo to no.. I* or Viotu A lea vio attvi mvv w ywjr (l, V HWTT Ul? V the menace the country faces. \ The professional politicians tall? much of sacrifice, in noble words. But It Is a rare politician who Is willing to sacrifice one thin dime of patronage that might cost a vote, to support a principle. Money still goes out for farm relief schemes foredoomed to failure?for unnecessary tax-built and tax-subsidised govern ment electric plants, for govern-, ment credit schemes of all kinds, and for a thousand and one purposes which are In no way a true function of government, hut which ars prolific sources of votes and powett The self-seeking hand of politics handicaps a real defense program P * t Tf 1 i ' I Here and There Haywood E.

EDITOR HERALD: ? 1 will appreciate space in your paper to correct a wrong impression According to an editorial in a neighboring paper, the trouble with safety on the highways and streets is Iac)^ of enforcement on the part ot "city and county policemen and state patrolmen." I think the opinion expressed in tliis editorial is wrong I The trouble is not with the arrest| ing officers but with the courts. It | is most embarrassing to officers to make arrests and then have the accused turned scot free. Officers soon get in the frame of mind, "what's the use, they'll be freed | anyway. To remedy the problem, court officials will have to co-operate Closer W|it>h ari^estfng offvdletrat because it is a known fast that officers will not make arrests unless they are reasonably sure of convictions. I, want to repeat, the trouble is not with the officers but with a lack I of co-operation on the part of court officials in securing convictions. Yours truly, -A CAR DRIVER. I "Lions To Play Baseball With Uastonim Club The .Kings Mountain Lions Club will meet the Lions from Oastonia in a fast and funny baseball game in Oastonia Friday nlgbt, Aug. 23, at 8 P. M.

Ptm? plete details and the llne-.up for the game will be published In the next issue of The Herald, which would get maximum results with a minimum of waste of time ,?nd money. Who Is going to sacrifice whatThat is the question that America faces today, If national security la to be a reality, not a mirage. The answer is plain. All must sacrifice, all must contribute their full share. Tk. nlkA. /.II I I. - -A ? u i uo unici iciiuw isii i kuiuk 10 ao 11 for us.

"You can't ride alone over the moon," he Said softly. "Can't we try It together?" She was startled. "Together?" "Why not? I'm the only man who can love you for yourself ? you're the only girl who could love me for what I am and not for what I have." "But love doesn't go by logic," ? she said slowly.
