Friday night we were in our |c
usual place on the door at the I t
theatre when a newsreel show- j
ed some of America's most i \
beautiful scenery with shots a . ,,
waving American flag, the l>ln- : f
coin Memorial and the Ameri
can eagle. This was shown to
the singing of "God Bless Am
erica" by Kate Smith and a
mixed chorus. At the end of
the song, as the curtain closed,
spontaneous applause swept
through the audience. We won
der if others were as affected | i
by this as we were. We believe 1
they were or they would not j
huve applauded. It is our furth
er belief that every person in 1
the theatre was immensely
proud of our country. Just as we
were; and that each, in their
hearts, were silently thanking
the Lord for the thousandfold
blessings He has bestowed up- 1
on us and this great land of,|
ours. The title "God Bless !
Americu." while a prayer for
all Americans is also a state
ment of fact. God has blessed
America and let us not forget
Him who has smiled upon us <
and given us freely of His ! I
bounties. i
n? n
To Kate Smith and her beauti-i
ful voice mu8t> go most of the
I credit for popularizing the song
i "God Bless America." This song
i is probably being used 'more often
now than the National Anthem
and observers say it will go down
through history with the "Star
Spangled Banner" and "America"
as one of the greatest patriotic)
hymns of all time. Let us hope
this stirring song never becomes j
a battle chant. But if it does it
will carry on to victory as with !
I'he National Anthem and warning
| those who oppress human rights
that a free nation can never be
'conquered, regardless of the arm
ed might of one nation or anoth
er. The final line spoken in "Four
> Sons" sums up this same senti
ment with "barbed wire cannot
hold t-he spirit of man."

After waxing ho patriotic we
might lighten the mood some
what by commenting that the

that the front doors are in

We dropped by Dr. W. C. Per

a look at his new Physio-Therapy

ultra short radio waves to give
deep heat treatments to inflam

This machine la the latest of its

On Sunday night we listened tb
a commentator irom London via

fere very interested iu the talk,
["he speaker said that I'he British

i third term. He further stated
hat flhe average Englishman how
iver was not interested In Amer
ican politics because he did not
inderstaud the two party system,
rhe gist of his remarks was that'
lur political setup was just as
nvsterioUB to them as some of
heir politics are to us. Of the
andidates. only Roosevelt is
mown by virtue of his many ap
learances in the English news
eels and by broadcasts there of

'iguratively speaking we then
vent from the sublime to the rl
ticulous by tuning from l.otidon

ondemnations of the Prime Min

lad offered his enemy their last
hance for peace and L-ijat England
lad refused therefore the voice of

The British radio has com
mented that the closing of the
Burma Koad to vital supplies
for the t'hinpse Republic was
to keep peace in the Orient but
that England would tend to the

would hold Japan accountable

the British Empire versus Hit

satisfactorily solved.

BIG CATCH
(Special to Franklin Times)
Southport. July 23. ? Cecil M.
Brubbs. of Louisburg. was a mem
ber of a party of sportmen who
:aught a 66 pound amber Jack on
Prying Pan Shoals, off Southport.
Saturday. The fish Is understood
to hare been the largest of its
kind ever caught on the North
Carolina coast or above here. The
actual catch was made by Louis
J. Baisch. of Louisville. Ky. It
required 45 minutes of battle to
boat the big fish.
The Orubbs party caught sev- '
era! other large amber jack and
a number of dolphin and barra
cuda. The fine catch they made ?
was duplicated Sunday when a
party from Chapel Hill, led by A.
3. Tuffs, took 11 large barracuda
and 5 amber jack. The largest ?
amber jack taken by this party
weighed 40 pounds and the entire
catch of barracuda and amber
lack averaged 25 pounds to the
fish.
That the bad weather jinx,
which has existed all the season,
seems to be finally broken, is a
matter of interesti to North Car
olina sportsemen. Fishing is real
ly getting underway this week
and the barracuda on Frying Pan
are offering especially good sport. '
Both the boatmen and the crew of
the lightship say that these fish
are more numerous than they
have ever been known to be.
Many of the fighters that are be
ing brought in are huge fellows, '
covered with barnacles and look- |
lng decidedly tough ? which they ;
are. I
Congress may bave economized
on defense in years past but the
boys are certainly ladling oub tbe
?ash (or the cause now.

agent in Tyrrell County, says far- 1
mers of that section are vitally In
