Carter or Telephone them to Phones 312 or 403-1 All Items of Interest To Halifax County and Surrounding Territory Greatly Appreciated “Twilight Reveries’’ I think it no new observation, ■but in a world distraught, we are prone to easily east aside the gift of grayer. When you feel ‘.mat y„Ur words are worn threadbare, don't stop praying. Or if you should think your language is in adequate, don’t give up prayer. -IT IS ENOUGH" When church bells peal their call to worship God (ji moves an ecstasy within my heart; When eyelids droop and baby starts to nod; \\ In n poignant mem'ries tear my soul apart And starry moments are obscur ed from view— It is enough that I know what to do. When shadows lengthen and twi light appears Or comes the scent of early April rain; When untold sorrow dims my eyes with tears Or breathes a wordless rapture over pain; I do not grope for pretty words to say— It is enough with God that I can pray!

Traffic Rules ... by RUTH TAYLOR In one of his prophetic talcs of the future ipling envisioned a world ruled by the Aerial Board of Control, whose law was that there were no laws “except what interferes with the traffic and all that it implies.” That is what this war is—an at tempt by an organized gang of road hogs to interrupt the traffic of the world. And this is one thing we cannot and will not endure. In some respects it is immater ial that the Japs waged war upon us. The end would have been in evitable. We must be able to send our ships to Malay and Singapore. We could not and cannot let the Japanese or any one else bar our ships from the seas. We could not and cannot permit an infringe ment of our rights to free passage to any part of the world. Unless we keep the sea lanes open, we will have to change our manner of living. We will have to set the clock back and halt the progress of Civilization. It will cost us a lot of money to win this war - but it will Cost us a lot more money to lose it. What is the answer? There is only one*. We must put out every effort to win this war. That is the first task and one to which every man, woman and child must de vote himself if the way of lifts we call American is to endure. Then will he the time to win the peace and to set up a workable way of life for the world. We must never compromise with evil. That would be both weak and wrong. But we must strive in every way to reach a state of mu tual cooperation and a willingness to work together. We must do this not only between our nations and those other nations who place the rights of mas above the rights of the state - who, in short, subscribe to the four freedoms - but among ourselves. We must see to it that our minorities are so assured that their rights are not to be overrun, that they do not need to give a thought o anything except the main purpose for the moment - Victory. It isn’t as difficult as it sounds. We have already worked it out in our handling of the steady stream of c'ars pulsing alorfg oftr highways. Traffic rules are de signed not to take away rights from anyone but to adjust these rights so that all may have them. When we set up and enforce si milar rules for world problems, then we can keep the peoples of earth free to go about their bu siness, the law-abiding protected an dthe reckless drivers barred forever from the roads. State College Hints jFarm Homemakers MY KITH CURRENT Stale Home Demonstration Agent ' This isn’t just hearsay — In comparison with white flour, whole wheat flour contains; Si\ times as much Vitamin Ml (fhiu | min,) five times as much iron four times as much phosphorous; two times as much calcium! several times as much riboflavin and Vi tamin E. | Enriched flour has Vitamin Ml, nicotinic acid and iron added, and ■ it is greatly preferred to other 1 white .-flour. Soybeans are rich in Vitamins A, B. and G. They are one and one half times richer in protein than other beans. They are good to eat as a green vegetable, or they can be cooked and eaten as , any ordinary dried bean. Soybean | flour mixed with whole wheat , flour makes delicious cookies an 1 ‘ muffins. Recommended varieties of edi ble soybeans include the “Rokus un” and “Easycook” which arc sold by large seed companies, and will be found listed in most seed catalogues. The “Seminole” varie ty, grown in South Carolina, is al so suggested for the home gard en.
