the common DEFENSE Free Men Can’t Me Subjugated Philip Murray. President, Congress „f Industrial Organizations, Washington, I). C. For the second time in a con I *ury the nations of the world are i leaked in a death struggle! a I struggle whose outcome will deter I mine whether Christianity and 1 ilt-niocracy can survive. It the tor | ces of totaliterianism are viclor I ious m this war, the lights of dun I ocracy will go out and those of ( hristianity will burn only in * men's hearts, not in their churches I 0r schools or way of life. These two great forces, dem | ocracy and Christianity, are linked I together in their sharing of a -• principle, fundamental to each: the P inherent worth and dignity of the “ individual. Hitler would have us U-lieve that the individual is of no importance; the State is all. ■ The State decides what is right % and wrong, who may teach and ■ ■who may learn, and .specifically Swhat shall be taught and learned, if To him, Christianity is decadent, itj; .^teachings false, misleading and || contemptible. Yet all the might of Hitler and ■his Fascist followers - his arm ies. his planes, his propaganda - ■bias been unable to crush the spir :dt of Christianity ami the belief Tin an individual’s worth. Through Scut Germany and the conquered Countries of Europe and Asia, the Bvoices of Christian priests and ■*».inisters still ring forth. Threats lot' death have not stopped them, tier the eexeution and torture of "tli'-ir fellow workers. Many Many have lost their lives, thousands of others have been deprived of part or all of their personal liberty. But still they /proclaim to the world - in German, Norwegian, Czech and Japanese - that the faith of the Bible is stronger than that of “Mein Kampf.” I am confident that Hitler and Hirchito will be defeated .y the Allies. Do not believe that free men and free minds can be per manently subjugated by a nation of slaves. But the war cannot be won on the military front alone. It will be won if it is followed by a peace dictated by the rulers and generals in a spirit of revenge. The common man has fought this war on the battlefield, the wheat field and the assembly line. The common man, front the conquered nations as well as from the vic torious ones, must have a hand in the peace. We cannot, and we should not, attempt to impose democracy on all the world by the stroke of a pen. But we can assure true dem ocracy in our own country, and the Four Freedoms in all nations, if in planning the post-war world we are guided by the great Christ ian-democratic principel of the rights aid the dignity of every individual - black or white, i ich or poor, Christian, Jew or Moslem. Delay Setting Of Ceiling Prices, Meats In line with the President's April 8 “hold-the-line” order, the Office of Price Administration has held for further consideration dol lars and cents retail ceiling prices on beef, pork, lamb and mutton, Ted Speight, chairman of the Upper Halifax County War Price DO YOU KNOW ? . . . YOLK HOME is worth more today than in the past 20 years. IF you are not fully protected, let us help vou get the necessary protection. Weldon Insurance Agency, Inc. STERLING B. PIERCE, Sec. and Manager Insurance Of All Kinds WELDON, N. C. The Insurance Companies represented by this Agency ha fa been designated to act as fiduciary agent for the writing of war damage insurance. CA-LL THIS AGENCY FOR FURTHER DETAILS rtjr-o.tWi* "They Give Their Lives—You Lend Your Money” and Rationing Board, announced today. The schedule of dollars and cents ceilings on these four meats was to have gone into effect April 15. OPA’s action in postponing the effective date of the new pricing regulation until May IT was taken, Mr. Speight said, in order that the prices which it established might be scrutinized closely m the light of the presidential directive which was issued after the OPA pricing schedule had been announc ed. Regional and district offices of OPA have been instructed to make an immediate check of the ri tail ceilings as set forth in the order against retail prices in effect at tlie time of the President's order. On the basis of these surveys, to gether with trade meetings which will be called immediately, OPA will determine whether revisions are needed he explained. Until dollars and cents coring prices become effective, merchants will continue to sell beef, v • tl, lamb and mutton under ceilings established by the General Maxi mum Price Regulation. Specific dollars and cents prices on retail pork cuts were not af fected by the action. Suggestions For Planting Cotton Due to the late Spring which has already delayed cotton plant ing, it is very important that far mers do everything possible to get a full stand of cotton from the first planting Use plenty of planting seed. This is very im portant due to the poor quality of seed from the 11U2 crop. Many folks think that seed harvested before the October rains started are good. Germination tests on seed picked before the October rains are showing very low ger mination. If your seed have not been tested for germination, plant at least twice the amount you vi sually plant. It is also important that the fertilizer should he thoroughly mixed in the row before the land is bedded. This can be done by running a cotton plow behind the fertilizer distributor. On some of fertilizer distributors an extra font can b" attached to tin; distri butor in order to mix the ferti lizer in the soil. This may seem like extra work when labor i- so short, but it is very important • e cause seed planted too close to the fertilizer will not give a good stand and the cotton will not grow off after it comes up. Move your cotton seed cleaned, on a good cleaning machine. This will remove many small and light seed that would not give strong plants. Have your planting seed treated with “Ceresan”. This will improve your stand and cans • cot ton to grow off faster. Don shop too early. Ldave a thick stand from 3 to 5 plants in hills 3 to 12 inches apart. All of the above practices will help you get a full stand of cot ten from the first planting. We a'e already late in planting cotton, and if we fail to get a good stand from the first planting 01 nave to plow up and plant the crop over, we will almost surely make a cot ton failure in 1943. W.
