A CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT. Watauga county, which has always been in the forefront of achievement. when a really worth-while job needed to be done quickly, has, we believe, broke its many records of the past by >ver-subscribing its Red Cross War i'und quota on the eigth day of the campaign, with a full three weeks of the prescribed period yet to go! We take exceeding pride in this accomplishment, and felicitate all those who labored so diligently in bringing to pass this remarkable demonstration of loyalty to our fighting men unit to our civilians when the hand of disaster rests heavily upon them. Such patriotic zeal on the part of our citizens bodes well for the war effort. Wataugans with a few minor exceptions, feel disposed to adjourn all personal differences and get right down together during the emergency to further the war effort . n every possible way. Such teamwork. and such generous and immediate action in this ennnni-iisn must be mighty satisfying to those of our sorts who will read these lines somewhere in the African war zone or in the vast expanses of the far Pacific. LET'S LET EM FIGHT! A Roosevelt got a mighty hand front both Democrats and Republicans in Congress the other day, and it wasn't the gentleman of the While House. It was a son of the President, Lieut. Col. Elliott Roosevelt, who with three brothers is in the battle against the Axis for all he's worth, who pleaded that he be allowed to fight without being stabbed in the back "for the sake of politics." Representative Lamberson of Kansas had asserted that the President "jerked" two of the four sons from the battlefronts and Co. Elliott wrote as follows to Representative Lanham of Texas, his friend and congressman: "Such criticism aimed at men who are fighting for their country strikes me as sort of unfair. They can't answer back. We feel we are fighting for all America We are nnl ?r, rel. itics. In the armed forces there is 1 unity of purpose?the continuation i of American freedom and American ideals. "Please explain this fact to your 1 colleague, and try to explain to him that we, as soldiers, don't care whe- i ther or how much he disagrees with the President, but for God's sake let us fight without being stabbed in the back for the sake of politics. "I don't care whether a man is a Republican or a Democrat. Let's get together and get this damn war won. I'm tired and I want to go home and live in peace on my ranch with my family. The sooner, the better too." Referring to criticism of his brother James, Elliott wrote: "I happen to know that James has insisted on carrying on. in active duty, even though he is not physically up to the strain of combat. He could easiy sit back and not be exposed to actual combat, because if he were anybody else's son he would be exempted from such duty. He is a hell of a fine officer and has plenty of guts. Ask any man who has served with him?that is the test!" And a burst of applause broke all party lines for the moment in the House?and we should all cheer such men as Col. Roosevelt, who only ask to be allowed to save our hides, without our back-biting them. The Roosevelts and the Smiths and the Joneses, and the Cohens and the Kelleys make up the finest fighting, machine this nation has ever produced. and they deserve the united support of the people back home who are living in safety and comparative luxury. Let's keep faith with our fighting men. They are not drunkards, and irresponsibles?they are your son. my brother, your husband ?just, a cross-section of American life?a serious-minded bunch of courageous young men trying hard to master the world's most difficult assignment. We are for them 100 per cent and expect to defend them in season and out. We owe them our devotion, our praise, and our prayers. Let's don't cuss them. Let's ( just?let 'em fight! Six-Inch Sermon REV. ROBERT H HARPER. In the Upper Room. Lesson for March 14: John 13:1220; 14:1-6. Golden Text: John 14:6. In the upper room Jesus as a servant washed the disciples' feet, then said, that if he. their Lord j and Master, had washed their feet, the.v ought to wash one another's feet. Some take this injunction lit ] eral'.y as in the foot-washing of a' certain sect The most regard the; whole incident as teaching lave and humility. Many gladly render lowly j -uoj .waj mq ojdood q8iq oj aai.uiasi der high service to lowly people, j But let us not shrink from any ser-! vice in Jesus' name. Nothing worse could be said of one than Christ's statement of the traitor whose presence marred the occasion. For nothing could be worse than breaking a circle of brotherhood. Soon Judas slunk away into the night before Jesus instituted the sacrament. Beautiful were the words of com- > fort which Jesus spoke to the trou-j bled hearts of the disciples. Theyt believed in God, let them also be- 1 lieve in Jesus, and trust him. We] cannot know all about the wondrous mansion of which Jesus spoke: it is sufficient that we have a place in trie better world. No "housing problem" will trouble us there. The i blessed words of Jesus lifted the troubled thought of the disciples beyond their sorrowing world to an eternal one. When Jesus will come again, not even, the angels know: it is enough that that He has promised that He will come again and receive us unto Himself. Consider the words used as the Golden text. Jesus is the Way that leads to God. All we need to know of God we may learn through Him who is the Truth. And through the risen Lord we ntay have life more abundant?now and evermore. Dale Carnegie numor 01 -now to win Friends and Influence People." HE DARED TO TRY. Sixty years ago there lived in a country village in southeast Missouri. a sallow-faced, anemic, hollowchested, spindle-shanked boy. Ilis father owned the general store; the boy helped behind the counter after school and on Saturdays. Southeast Missouri was infested in those days, with swamps, which caused chills and fever. The boy didn't thrive there, so his father finally sent him to school in the city. The youngster's name was William H. Danforth. He was a typical malaria zone product. All you had to know that his subnormal scrub would never set the river on fire was to look at him?But listen to this!? In the city school flowered a teacher named George Warren Krall, a '"health crank." One day Krall looked the anemic boy straight in the eye and said slowly, challengingly: "Will, 1 dare you to build up that weak body and become the healthiest boy in the school!" Will Danforth looked at him in bewilderment. That challenge changed his life. What boy can refuse a dare? Will Danforth promptly swallowed the bait, hook line and sinker. He went in for exercise and right living. He uunri jiuiicu iu uecome me iransiormod personality which Krall had pictured. The change astounded him. It astounded all who knew him. Soon he was tops?tops in his studies, tops in sports. Out in the world at last William H. Danforth had a living to make. How? Into that keen, active mind flashed a big idea. Why not sell the most important of all commodities. Food! Wry not for a starter, prepare and sell a mixture of crushed or ground oats and corn for horses and mules! Danforth hid a partner, a young man named Robinson. With limited capital the energetic pair bought oats and corn, dumped them on the floor of a shed and mixed them with a couple of scoop shovels. Then they went out to drum up customers. The big iaea promptly rang the bell. Orders came pouring in. The partners were hard-pressed to meet tne demand. Finally they installed a grinding and mixing machine. At last they were on their way! William H. Danforth became many times a millionaire; and those two scoop shovels, wielded by vigorous young arms, grew into the enormous plants of the Ralston-Purina company in St.. Louis.

Sharpen that axe, file that saw! Begin cutting more pulpwood for ~ Uncle Sam. These are suggestions d made to North Carolina growers by R. W. Graeber, extension forester at N. C. State College. The nation needs 13,000,000 cards ' ^ of pulpwood in 1943 to fill the re- ? quirements of the an. ed services f and civilians. The fanner is asked by those in charge of war activities { to enlist his saw and axe, his muscle x and his woodlands, in the fight to j win the war. Military requirements for pulp- ] wooa are many, it is needed tor |J making smokeless powder; in rayon I for parachutes; in medicinal products for treating sick and wounded soldiers; as blueprint paper for the planning of ships and planes; as pa- ' per for shell cases; and in a thousand other new and old wartime us- s es. Of the recent African invasion convoy of about 800 ships, approximately 300 were warships and 500 were transports, which were loaded with troops and supplies. Much of these supplies were protected by shipping containers made from trees. New multi-walled bags, made of paper are replacing metal drums. More and more products are being shipped in kraft paper bags. There will be a shortage of pulpwood, according to Graeber, unless every farmer with a woodlot takes '. time to serve his country with saw, axe, team and truck. Woods operations fit well with other farm work. '' Pulpwood can be cut on slack days. ] ?Tnr man ? DU i rvrt.iv onvmvio ccxHUd ? Y THURSDAY?BOONE, N.
