Nazi's To Show
What War Is
Bei'liu. Nov. 15. ? Germany to- i
day answered the war challenge!
of Winston Churchill. British
First Lord of the Admiralty, with ,
a statement that Nazi bombing
; planes and U-boats will "show the
British what it means to be at I
war with Germany."
i Recent bombing raids on the ;
Shetland Islands and the British '
naval bases at the Firth of Forth
and Scapa Flow are "only the !
' very beginning" of the war in
the air against Britain, an official !
statement said.
The warning of intensified
bombing attacks on the British
Isles, following Field Marshal*Her
maun W. Goerlng's threat to "rain .
down the war" on Britain, coincid- ;
ed with announcement by the
high command that a single Ger- j
man U-boat in "the past few days" I
had sunk 28,000 tons of shipping
and captured one prize ship.
"German submarines are show
ing the British what it means to
be at war with Germany," the high
; command asserted.
Added significance was given
to the statement by official warn
ings during the past 48 hours Ihit
i British and French passenger and
merchant ships are subject to
sinking by U-boats because they
are kuown to be armed and there
fore must be classed a "pirate
raiders."
Answers Churchill
The official D. N. B. agency told
of the results of Monday's bomb
ing attacks 011 the Shetland Is
lands off the northern tip of Scot
land and referred to Churchill's
Sunday night radio broadcast in
; which he taunted the Germans for
failure to molest the British navy
or strike at the Maginot Line.
"They (the Germans) have not
chosen to molest the British fleet,
which has awaited their attack
i in the Firth of Forth during the
last week; and they recoil from
the steel front of the French army
i along the Maginot Line." Church
Ill said.
Today's comment. answering
| Churchill, said:
"It is to be Hiiliciputed that
German attacks will take place
frequently at times and places not
, foreseen in England. In this parti
cular case, Churchill's affirmation
was characteristic because Ger
man long distance scouting planes
previously had ascertained that
; most of the units of the British
fleet already had left the Firth
j of Forth." i
In reference to the bombing at
tack on the Shetland Island
j (where the British denied that
i any naval units had been hit or
| even attacked), the official agency
j said : ?
"German air scouts discovered
two cruisers, several smaller units
nine flying boats, several freigh
ters and a large passenger ship in
Sullumvoe.
"The air fighters decided on
the cruiser and flying boats .<s
objectives. Despite firing from
light and heavy antT-alrcraft guns,
the coastal batteries and ships,
the German fliers dived from the
clouds at their objectives.
When a Wyoming farmer want
ed his fields cleaned of grasshop
pers, he hired a neighbor'! tur
keys. paying so much each day
until the land was free of the hop
pers.
Some people in Louisburg smile
I in a way that makes you think
they are bestowing a favor.

BUNN SCHOOL OBSERVES
EDUCATION WEEK
In observation of National Ed
ucation Week. November titli
through 11th. Bunu School had
as their guest speakers, Mr. K. Y.
AVerett, Mr. W. R. Mills and Mr.
Charles P. Green who spoke im
various phases of education
Progress in education consists
of transportation and buildings as
well as an increase in books and
knowledge, Mr. Averett explained
to the students and faculty mem- j
bers present in tho Putin School
Auditorium Monday. November
6, beginning tbe first of a series <
of urograms on Education and
Democracy, celebrating National
Education Week.
Mr. Averett, Baptist pastor in
the Bunn district, defined Uis
subject. Education, as being able |
to liud what you want when yon
want it and illustrated its amsz- i
iug progress in recent years by
the story of a fast horse. He trac- ]
ed the steps in education from
the days when wagoUs transport- 1
ed children to one-room school
houses to the present modern,
buildings and facilities, contrast
ing each. "Life is a boomerang."
he went on to say. "What you
throw out always comes back to
you." He added that we get out
i of life what we put into It, the
same being true of school life.
1 "In many instances parents
know too little about the school"
, declared Mr. Mills, Superintndent
of Franklin County Schools, on
Wednesday, in a short talk con
tinuing the series of programs.
i "The purpose of National Educa
tion Week," he added, "is to have
fathers, mothers, and friends take
a look at the school.
! Continuing, Mr. Mills contrast
ed the American schools with the
German schools of today. He
proved his statement that the
American youth has an advantage
over the German boy or girl by
pointing out that the German
youth is not allowed to think tor
himself but has to accept as true
what the government approves.
"What is the American way of
life?" Then answering, he said.
"America is a country where we
follow the rule of reason. Here
we And fair play and friendli
ness; the purpose of the govern
ment is to give boys and girls an
opportunity for a richer life."
"You can do anything that you
' really want to," concluded Mr.
Mills, but unless you want to. you
can do nothing."
Concluding the series of pro
grams was Charles P. Green,
lawyer from Loulsburg, who
spoke on Thursday. Using as his
subject "Be Natural" Mr. Gre?n
said, 'Cultivate what you have to
Improve yourself."
Mr. Green related that after a
forced landing because of air
plane trouble in Texas, the only
person out of the crowd that ask
ed him any questions was a 6 or
7 year old child.
'If you want to know some
thing, go And out about it," be
added. "Be proud of your school;
be proud of your county and
country.
Mr. Green then declared that
Franklin County produced some
of the smartest men In the state;
that the first cotton mill was op
erated In Gold Mine Township
near Laurel, that the first type
writer was developed by Foster
of Ingleslde, and that Franklin
County contributed more men
during the World War than 87
other counties.
He then added, "These boys
went there for one purpoee? to
maintain schools? our democra

Mr. Green said that there might
not be any room for you in the
lower places, but .you are want
ed In the higher places near the
top of the ladder where there are
fewer people.
He then told o{, the great mu
sician, Old Bill; who played a vio
lin and when he appeared before
the large audience, the "a" string
snapped, but instead of being de
feated he transposed the arrange
ment so the "a" string would uot

Concluding, Mr. Green said. "If
something happens to you', deter

your handicaps."
