THE GLEANER U9A.HAU, N. 0.. UAH. IS, 19*1 U*C*0 KVKBT THUH&DAY J. D.KERNODLE, Editor $1.00 A pARriN ADVANCE Eutered at ?Ut Poatoffloe at Graham. N. C., at. **x?o4-claaa matter. The Legislature The lawmakers iu Raleigl are trying to finish their wort to adjourn Saturday night 01 early next week. The appropriation bill, carry ing more than 166 million dol lars, the high-water mark in spending, has been passed. Let us hope it has been wisely done. What to do with the vexati ous liquor problem hns not been concluded. A State referen dum was proposed and lost out. Whether the ABC liquor stores in the 26 .eastern counties will be interfered with is uncertain. The counties decide for them selves whether they will have ABC stores. The sale of fortified, strongly alcoholic, wine came in for con siderable discussion, but it was left in statu quo. The Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis, the World War Machine, may be or prove to be strong1 enough to keep the Nazi juggernaut mov ing against all opposition, but it is out of repair and hopelessly sagged in the middle (Rome). It will be the burden of the ends, Germany and Japan, to support the middle and save it from com plete bogging. War and Defense America is moving tremend ously for defense. The lend-lease bill to aid Britain is a defense measure -to help the democracies in Europe fight it out over there so that it will not have to be fought out over here. Britain, speaking, is confident they can win with the help they will receive from America. Hitler is moving toward Greece and Turkey. The Russian bear is growling and Yugoslavia is wavering as to what course to take. The lend-lease bill is now law signed by the President, and the President has asked for 7 billion more for defense purpose*, for the stronger and better prepared America is, so much the less will be the likelihood of her having to do any of the active fighting. The thing that looks worse in America now is the frequency of strikes in big plants where the Government has placed big contracts for implements and munitions of war. FROM WASHINGTON 130 Million Reasons BrI.B. tad Washington, D. C., March 11th ?This isn't the first time that the United States has been on tiie verge of war. This isn't the flirst time there has been whole sale sniping at business men. This isn't the first era ot disturb ing strikes. But, even the old-old sters are not able to remember a time when there was a greater rash to build up national defense and preparedness than in this year of 1941. To mention a hope that there will be "business as usual," appears to invite a scold ing. Nevertheless, in the office building where this item is being written there are several hun dred persons employed and near ly all of hem are doing about the same things that they have been doing in past years. In a docen large buildings of the surround ing half-dozen blocks about 90 per cent of all the workers are carrying1 on "business as usual. . Across the way there is an an tique store, a real estate office, ? beauty parlor, a parking lot an a restaurant, and just beyond, I - the United States Chamber o Commerce, where typewriter and mimeographs clatter a , usual, and within less than , square mile are the nations headquarters of the America) " Federation of Labor . and thi Committee of Industrial Organi zations. > Out of the city streets and fa : endless miles through the rura ? areas of connecting Virginia anc Maryland and beyond, every thing seems to be "as usual,' which is accounted for by th< , fact that 90 per cent of ell th< people of the United States art working away at the same ok jobs, in the same old ways. My local habitat is just thret city blocks from the White House. Nearly every editor in the whole country might make at interesting survey of this kind in his own community. There are 130 million reasons to earn a living in these United States, and to follow the old pro cess of through "business as usual." The necessities of de fense and military precaution* employ a comparatively few mill ion people. They are expected tc do a good and perfect job, back ed and supported by the coun try's business and professional men, the civilian population ol cities and farms and by citizens in all walks of life. The historic old formula is op erating to provide necessary work, as usual, business as usual, and all the old-fashioned ways of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as usual, with occa sional time off for such recrea tion as church choir practice,golf, moving pictures, bridge parties, and a wide assortment of strict ly "usual diversions." Highway Post Office The first rural free delivery service of mail was in 1895, and those were horse and wagon days. The total daily mileage of the United States service of 45 years ago was about So miles. Rural delivery grew very slowly because good roads were few and far between in those days. Today more than 6 million rural mail boxes are scattered across the country. A new efficient mail service is in operation between Washing ton, D.C., and Harrisonburg, Vir ginia, a distance of 140 miles. In the pomp and ceremony of launching the system the U. S. Post Office Department hailed the "Highway Poetoffice" as a companion-piece of the railway mail service. The first "Highway Post Of fice" consists at a specially equipped motor bus in which mail messengers preform the same services in sorting and de livering mail as the railway ser vice. The experiment will be supplemented by other routes designed to test out different types of vehicles and special ac cessories adaptable to the work. There are 48 thousand com munities in the United States that completely lack railroad service. Most of these communi ties have been served by motor trucks carrying mail sorted tn city post offices, and dropped off at local post offices ' on the routes. Those mail carriers have cov ered mors than 1,392,470 miles each scheduled day with their automobiles and trucks and rendered regular service for 29 million individuals. The "High way Post Office" is an important .factor in the development of the | finest postal system in the world. Subject To Taxation i The U. S. Treasury is about t) issue new securities to be sold t > " the public, because Uncle San i- must have more money. Thea a new bonds will be subject to tax d ation, thus ending tax-free se s curities. 1 ? Burlington, Reidsvillc :j United States Marine Corps Re 1 cruiting Stations, 17-21 Inst.

Some are ao eager to ehow a happy aplrit that they giggle even when the preacher prays. There la enough commercial head ache reliefs broadcast for every one to have a doee The way In Christian eaisles Is the way up to spiritual acquirements. Lapp* Are Content With Own Religious Servtoas The Lapp* derive solace and hap pine** from attending their own church services. They get to church as often as they can?four or Ave times a year. They go to the Swed ish State church, too; they never miss Christmas and Easter services. They are baptized, confirmed, mar ried, and buried in the state church However, they are given spiritual exaltation in their own church serv ices, by their own preachers, ths stern and severe followers of Lars Levi Laestadius. They attain a sub limation of the soul they seem vi able to get elsewhere, writes Mason Warner, following an interview with an authority at Ablako, Lapland, Sweden, and published in the Chi cago Tribune. The services are always the same. The sermons are in the Finnish lan guage. The preacher begins by tail ing the congregation bow weak they are, bow sinful, how utterly lost? their souls are past redemption. Re buke and condemnation are piled oa criticism of their actions and lives. To these are added promises or threats of terrible punishment. This continues until the people are subdued, cowed, low in spirit?ere so beaten down by the pastor's ora tory that they are in a semi-ewooa at doubt, terror, and fear. The al most trance-like state of conscious ness of their unworthiness is known as Liikutuksia. Then comes ths great moment Absolution for sins is given by the preacher. . Great rejoicing ensue*. They re-1 main seated, but sway from aids to side or throw their bodies forward and backamrd in nn ecstasy at hap piness. Thay do not daace?oor do they sing. They jdka.
