As Major World Peace Threat
" Greatest menace tn world peace, and a potentially more
devastating weapon than the atom bomb, is the threat of
an alliance between Communism and a resurrected Ger
man militarism, in the opinion of Eugene Lyons, noted
writer on international affairs, and the first foreign cor
respondent to interview Premier Stalin.
“A more explosive combination than teeming Soviet
manpower with German technical genius, Russian natural
resources with Teutonic efficiency, can scarcely be imag
ined,” Lyons declares in an article in the January issue of
Cosmopolitan magazine. “In a time bursting with menace,
this is by all odds the greatest single threat to world
peace." _
Aitnougn American opinion is
as yet only vaguely aware of this
~ picture, the chancellories of Eu
ropean countries are deeply con
cerned about it, according to the
article.
There is nothing new about the
concept, according to Lyons, who
points out the idea of a Russo
German combination dictating to
the Eurasian continent is at least
two centuries old, and that it
takes little account of the politi
cal systems in each country.
“It is the essence of the ‘geo
politics’ taught by the British
geographer MacKinder, and the
German Professor Haushofer—
the idea that whoever controlled
:he 'heartland’ from the Elbe to
the Volga could dictate to the
Eurasian world,” the article
states.
“What can the United States

threat? ’ Lyons asks. “Exposure
of the terrifying facts is essen
tial. There are ample grounds for
indicting the Moscow government
before the United Nations on this
score, and thus forcing the issue
into the limelight. Fear, if noth
ing else, will then operate to unify
the non-Soviet world and frustrate
Kremlin adventures.
“Above all our America must
remain strong and alert. A penny
wise policy now in matters of na
tional defense and world rehabili
tation will inevitably prove to have
been pound foolish. The restora
tion of Teutonic military prowess
now under way in alliance with a
dynamic Communism, the pros
pect of Russian man power being
joined to German technical science
and experience—these provide a
grim warning which it would be
insane to overlook or to mini
mize.”
Cover that cough! The common
cold is the greatest cause for
loss of time on the job, warns
the National Conservation Bur
eau. If you already have one,
protect others by following the
dictates of common decency.
Halifax County
A. C. A. Office
Accepts Reports
Performance reports of prac
tices carried out under the 1947
Agricultural Conservation Pro
gram are now being accepted
by the Halifax County A. C. A.
Office, C. L. Kelly/ Chairman
of County Committee announced
today. He urged all’farmers to
file their reports immediately in
order that payments may be
made as soon as possible. “It
is necessary that reports bj?
filed by all farmers before pay
ments can be made for prac
tices carried out without the use
of materials or services furn
ished by P.M.A.”, he said. “Un
der the new setup it is abso
lutely impossible for us to stress
enough the importance of hav
ing farmers file their reports
immediately,” he stated. “In
previous years, North Carolina
has had a Field Unit of the
General Accounting Office t o
help speed the payment of ap
plications, however, this Field
Unit is now serving six states
and each of the states has the
same closing date (Feb. 15) for
filing performance reports,’’Kel
ly explained.
In reviewing records of per
formance reports filed to date
in the county office, Kelly stated
that there are 2900 farms in Hal
ifax County of which only 1700
reports have been filed which
represents 59 percent of reports
to be filed.
“A big delay is expected in
making payments if a large
number of producers wait un
til the last minute to file their
performance reports,” the
chairman said.
Farm Plans for the 1948 pro
gram are also being accepted
at this time and farmers may
file their 1948 farm plan when
they call by the AAA Office to
file their practice reports.
Elliot Forbes To
Appear Here
In an effort to arrange an out
standing educational hygiene
program that will win the praise
and approval of everyone, Man
ager Lyle Wilson of the Imperi
al theatre, has obtained the not
ed radio hygiene commentator,
Elliot Forbes, to appear in per
son—on the stage, during each
performance of the picture'
“Mom and Dad”, the engage
ment of which opens Monday
and Tuesday, Feb. 2 and 3.
Mr. Forbes, who is best known
to radio listeners in the Middle
West, Southwest and West-coast
areas because of his net-work,
broadcasts on health and hy
j giene subjects in those territor
ies, should prove an interesting
addition to the theatre’s screen
program.
With his fine background of
education, research and speak
ing on these timely subjects, his
discourse has proven most en
lightening and interesting to au
diences everywhere. Besides his
radio and stage work he speaks
to university, college and high
school groups, P. T. A. and oth
er organizations in his travels
from coast-to-coast.
Altho not a rapid-fire talker.
Forbes packs a vast quantity
of hygieqic information into his
15-minute appearance as well as
considerable humor and stor
ies. He has one of radio’s finest
commentator voices.
“Mom and Dad”, a new Holly
wood release with an all-star
cast, will be presented three
times daily. Due to the delicate
nature of the subject matter in
some of its medical sequences,
it is not for grade-school age
children, and is shown to se
gregated audiences only.
The local theatre will have two
performances for women only
and high school-age girls each
day starting at 2 P. M. and
7 P. M. One performance each
evening will be for men only
and high school boys, beginning
at 9 o’clock. Each performance
lasts two hours.
Been slipping out of the house
lately, men? Maybe you didn’t
intend to, but slippery sidewalks
caused the slipping. Over 26,000
persons die in accidental falls
every year, warns the National
Conservation Bureau. Many of
these fatal mishaps occur on ice
coated walks and porches. Play
safe — use sand or ashes when
sleet and ice endanger lives.
Christian
Science Society
“LIFE” was the subject of
the Lesson-Sermon in all Chris
tian Science Churches and Soci
eties on Sunday, January 18.
Golden Text: Amos 5: 14.
“Seek good, and not evil, that
ye may live: and so the Lord,
the God of hosts; shall be with
you, as ye have spoken.”
Amond the citations compris
ing the Lesson Seavon were the
following from the Bible: “I call
heaven and earth to record this
day against you, that I have set
before you life and death, bless
ing and cursing: therefore
choose life, that both thou and
thy seed may live” (Deuterono
my 30:19). And from the Chris
tian Science textbook, “Science
and Health with Key to the
Scriptures” by Mary Baker Ed
dy: “Entirely separate from the
belief and dream of material
living, is the Life divine, reveal
ing spiritual understanding and
the consciousness of man’s do
minion over the whole earth’
(Page 14).
