Jt is not, for Instance, giving away 1
a military secret to state thd plain i
truth that in the course of the last
18 to 24 months. American industry 1
has arrived at a state of production of
the weapons of defense which *
the Germans rouched only after six
years of an intensive effort that end *
ed with Mars eating up 72 per cent
of the. German national income each i
year.' - I
Like a champion runner compet- t
ing against a man hobbled with i
chains,- American industry is "lap..
ping" its field of totalitarian oppo- i
nents again and again as time goes
by. Free men move fastest. In tho j
fields of thought and action, they
not only move fastest. they, also
move most intelligently.
In defense, there are examples
galore to prove tins point. A few amotig
thousaftds may be Interestflig
to readers.
?o?
To begin with the manner in
which industries geared tho peacetime
production have changed over
swiftly to the making of defense
equipment is one of the most fascinating
stories on record. At tho pre?
cnt time, a maker of sewing machines
Is turning out pistols; a maker
of -lingerie weaves mosquito netting
for Army cantonme.nts; a llnloleum
factory makes shells; oil
plants make rubber, and rubber fab
ricators make gaa masks; a typewriter
factory turns out machine
guns, a tobacco machinery plant
puts together diesel engines. automakers
turn to tank production, a
lipstick maker produces shell casings,
a lawn mower manufacturer turns
out fuses, and a carpet manufacturer
fabricates' machine tool
parts. The list could be continued a)
most endlessly.'
Even more remarkable, though per
haps on the surface somewhat less
colorful. Is the way In which American
industry ? in almost every
case unused to making military equipment
? has fulfilled the new re ?
quirements set for it. In spite- of
countless handicaps, it took on ten e
billion dollars' worth of defense con- t
tracts between last June and the
first of the year and currently, a t
survey shows, Is on time or ahead of f
schedule in the case of 76 per cent
of firms with defense contracts. m

"Say, what'a the metier, cowboy?"
aha demanded, catching up
with Mm. "la kt me?"
, No, I iueaa you're all risht."
"/ think ao." aha returned defiantly.
"Maybe that'a what'* the matter
with you."
"I?I waa juet trying to be nice,"
he explained humbly.
"No ball for you be work eo

She put her face up
' She gave up, realising that ahe
waa out of her element with thle
almple, straightforward, unspoiled
youth. "In aorry," ahe said quietly.
"I Just wanted you to like me.

you're right. Please go back to
your friends, and I'll *? home."
Now R was his turn to be contrite,
touched by her manifest
sincerity. "Aw, now, you don't
have to do that. Let's go back
and well make a hew start."
Back they went to their bowls
of fiery chill and their thick mugs
of coffee?both infinitely more relaxed,
ready to like each other at
dhe drop of a hat. Strangely
enough -they now found no difficulty
at all in conversing; and
when Stretch thawed out to the
extent of turning the full warmth
of his smile on her, she was completely
won. For this was a smile
such as she had never seen before,
guileless, full of. a childlike charm
and1 candor. "How terrible!" she
told herself. "I almost left the
party!"
The supper over, the boys escorted
their ladles home. Mary
trotting along determined to keep
up with the long-legged Stride of
Slretch. When they arrived at the
big house the cowboys were dumfounded
at the thought that this
vast palace housed so few people.
"What a wigwam!" Stretch ex
claimed, examining the upper hallway
and the rooms leading off ft.
whither Mary had led him to show
htm where She "worked." "How
assay In the famOy?"
-Three," she told Mm. -The
father, the mother and the deugh/ter."
"Good thing there's no more
l children," he observed. "They'd'
| be awful cramped in these twenty' our
rooms."
Wandering through the boost,
she took Mm by the hand and led
him out to a balcony. The moon,
enormous In the southern night,

Mon. Don't be deceived. This Is a se
rious question. If Jesus was to come
today are you ready to meet talm or
have you rejected Htm tor the following?:
Worldly pleasures, business.
society, cares of tbls lite, relatives,
tamlly, a life of sin. This will
prove people today reject the stral
?ht truth for soft talking com prom Is
ing preachers. I know of a certain
preacher who was supposed to have
made the following statement: "The
people won't stand tor the old tosh-'
Ion Gospel, aud will get rid of anyone
who preaches It In their church.
Someone has got to make a living
and why not I" No wonder the people
are sliding into eternity not pre
pared to meet Ood. What we need
today are. "Isaiash, Jeremiahs. Sondays,
Pauls, Luthers, Smiths, and
Hacks." who have backbone enough
by the Orace of Ood to tell the people
the truth whether they like It or
not. Stand on the wall and warn
them If they i reject It you are clear.

wbiiptrion. Mary, partly from her
dstei mi nation to overcome this
stubborn man* real stance, partly
from a genuine feeling tor htm
that grew with every moment la
hia company, waa determined to
win him ever. She recall?, t the
.lesson given her by the two glila:

hopeless with this laconic cowboy.
As for approach number two *, -tting
him to hlae you?It seemed to
be working beautifully with Katie
and Btly and their respective boy
friends downstairs. Mary resolved
to try It.
"Lovely night. Isn't HT~ she began
tentatively.
"Sure la."
"Got a girt. Stretsh?" "Ooeb?
no."
"Wouldn't - you tyhe to be la
love?" .
"Never thought much about It."
"Oh, Stretch, you're eo unromantic!
Doesn't a night like this?the
moon, the sea, everything?mean
anything to you?" she put her
face up to his provocatively, waiting
to he hissed. But he oontinued
to game out Into the night, his
thoughts obviously elsewhere. And
when aha demanded to know lust
where, he oonfeased that they
were with "Bess."
"A Utile maze of mine Shale
I due to have a foal la a month, I
really ougbta write that letter
home to the folks, tellin' 'era what
BaV
k, .
*,
to Ms provocatively,
to do. ..."
So much for method number
two. Beee indeed! But Mary wasn't
ready to give up yat. There was
still method number three ? the
sympathy act reserved only for
emergencies ? but the emergency
had clearly arrived.
Forsaking the balcony and the
moon, she led him back into the
house, then out into the patio, ,
where she lolled on a. bench while
Stretch took out hU harmonica
and played a jaunty cowboy song.
Here was her opportunity.
"I envy you, Stretch," she sighed.
"Nothing on your mind?no troubles
or responsibilities?" ,
"Well, you don't look to me like
a girl that's bad a tough time
of It."
She smiled wistfully, bravely.
"You don't think so. huh? That's
funny?really, funny."
"On, I'm sorry," he murmured
contritely. "I know people suffer
sometimes, and you never get to
know It. Mavbe If vou told ma
something about yourself, why?*
With a fine show of stoicism,
brave little chin In air, she refused
to burden him with her troubles? until
he Insisted as she knew he
would. Then, Intoxicated by the
success of her little venture Into
htstrtonlsm. She launched Into a
pathetic, story about her father
who came home drunk night after
night and left the harsh burden of
supporting her four younger sis*
term all on her.
"Of course sometimes It's a little
hard," she went on. "Sometimes I
don't knew bow I keep going?"
"You poor kid," muttered Stretch,
and without knowing just how,
found her head against his breast
and her face straining up teward
, his. He lowered bis hand and
biased her, at first almost roverenthr:
then, as she responded to
his alas, mors and more purposefully.
...
Method number three hud'won
the day. . '
(Ye be cosHwnsdl
er who Jotna every old town clnb,
smokes, goes to shows, ball games
and tells others It la mo harm, they
are full of the devil, blinded, and
how can the blind lead the blind? I
have no confidence in such preachers
regardless of their education, or
how many D. p.'s Drs., or anything
else attached to their name, and I
ward them they had better wake up
or their deetlny la sealed. When
they preach under full sway of Holy
Spirit they will take the hide, bark,
and dirt off. And slap aome face*
and step on some toes.
Friends of Kings Mountain, May
God Bless you all. and I pray you
all give your hearts to Ood and lite
for Him.
