WELCOME LIONS
The citizens of Roanoke Rapids welcome
the new Lions Club to Roanoke Rapids, at the
same time extending a particular welcome to
the visiting Lions who will be in our midst this
Friday for the Charter presentation program
and the festivities which will follow.
We know of no other city where there are
greater opportunities for a service club of busi
ness and professional men like Lions, a service
club whose members gather regularly
To create and foster a spirit of “gen
erous consideration” among the peoples
of the world through a study of the prob
blems of international relationships from
the standpoint of business and profession
al ethics.
To promote the theory and practice of
the principles of good government and
good citizenship.
To take an active interest in the civic,
commercal, social and moral welfare of
the community.
To unite the members in the bonds of
friendship, good fellowship and mutual
understanding.
To provide a forum for the full and free
discussion of all matters of public interest,
partisan politics and sectarian religion a
lone excepted.
To encourage efficiency and promote
high ethical standards in business and
professions; provided that no club shall
hold out as one of its objects financial
benefits to its members.
THE CRY OF COMMUNISM
Because President Roosevelt seeks to help
the little man, because he has insisted that no
man go hungry, altho there are no jobs, be
cause he successfully tackled the biggest relief
job ever faced by any President with courage
and sympathy, he is now charged with foment
ing class warfare and leading the country to
Communism.
You will hear that hue and cry rise higher
and higher to the Heavens as this campaign
progresses. Those listened to A1 Smith
heard it; those who a*.. ied to former Senator
Reed of Missouri this Tuesday night heard it
again. These “walking” Democrats are being
used by Republican politicians as smoke
screens. They have been taught to say certain

things and make certain charges which the Re
publicans haven’t the intestinal fortitude to say
themselves. Now, all they need do is to quote
the onetime Democrats and prove by them
that the country is going to the dogs, either So
cialistic or Communistic.
Most Amercans will not be fooled by this
trumpeting of the outs trying to get in. The
record disproves their every charge. All one
need do is to read the series of editorial shorts,
“This Man Roosevelt is Ruining the Country,”
or the financial pages of any newspaper to see
that America, and those very ones who are do
ing all the Communistic crying, are far better
off under Roosevelt than they were under
Hoover.
You see that Americans have jobs, you see
that their families get food and shelter, and no
| matter how gloomy the day might appear,
there is no danger of Communism in America.
Revolution and Communism will come only
when we have a recurrence of the dark days of
1 930-33, when banks were breaking daily, in
dustry was paralyzed, small earnings were
wiped out, soup lines could not begin to care
for the starving, cities were helpless to aid
those on relief - those kind of times, when man,
seeing their children hungry and not knowing
where the next crust of bread is coming from -
desperate men, ready for anything,-men full of
despair with no glimmer of hope - that is when
Communism will come to America. "
And the very man who changed all that -
who saw to it that none went hungry or hope
less - this so-called dictator Roosevelt - instead
of leading the country into the despair of Com
munism, by the very actions for which his foes
now criticize him, SAVED this country from
Communism.
Socialism and Communism are not brought
about by political action or governmental ma
chinery;'they come only when the hearts of
men and women are filled with despair and
their stomachs are empty of food.
