" ? i 1I-H1 , 1 1 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." f-f After waxing ho patriotic we might lighten the mood some what by commenting that the Armor) looks much better now i that the front doors are in place. n? 1 n St. Augustine once wrote. "Ha- ? j bit. if not resisted soon becomes i necessity." K? U ? 1 1 Those evacuated F.nglish chll ?iron in America are complain ing of the heat. Being used to | , the British Isles mild tempera tures where 8.1 Is considered very hot they And American heat waves of near 1<M> degrees almost Intolerable. ? ? it An Englishman visiting the I George Washington shrine at 1 Mount Vernon had been belittling ! everything to the guide. "Oh I 1 say, and that hedge" he exclaim | ed, "I see Qeorge got that) from I England too." "Guess he did," I acknowledged the guide. 'He got this whole blomin' country from England." 11? It I?r. Herbert Perry has receiv ed a letter from the War De , part men t asking if he would be 1 available to act an medical ex aminer for a local draft board. Which only goes to show you that the Army men are not over looking any eventualities. 11 ? 1? We dropped by Dr. W. C. Per ry's office the other day and had a look at his new Physio-Therapy machine. The apparatus utilizes ultra short radio waves to give deep heat treatments to inflam atory and deeply seated ailments. This machine la the latest of its type. The equipment Is in use in hospitals. i IT ? IT Information from ft short subject tells us that the Pony Express famed In fact and fic tion only lasted 19 months and lost a large amount of money for It's promoters. Bat the Pony Express did bring the West two weeks closer to Uie Kast and began the unification of the western territories to make the present United States. : i IT ? TI On Sunday night we listened tb a commentator irom London via he 25 meter short waves and we fere very interested iu the talk, ["he speaker said that I'he British iress had given quite a pl:iy to he nomination of Roosevelt for 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 nany of our president 'g speeches, 'iguratively speaking we then vent from the sublime to the rl ticulous by tuning from l.otidon o Berlin where Lord Haw Haw leld forth with his runMng at Churchill and other English lead rS. Haw" Haw was vitriolic in his ondemnations of the Prime Min ster and stated that the Feuhrer lad offered his enemy their last hance for peace and L-ijat England lad refused therefore the voice of Iritain would be stilled forever. V'e believe that it will be Ger nany's voice that will be stilled orever, not Englands. as the Teu ons have twice In 25 years been >n what just thinkers believe is he wrong side and another loss s Germany suffered in World war to 1 it will just about end them s a nation. What crimes against nan will be charged to the souls f certain men thati are now liv ng on this earth. H ? IF 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 Japanese aggressors in due time. In other words Britain would hold Japan accountable just as soon as the equation of the British Empire versus Hit ler dominate*! Europe had been satisfactorily solved. H? f Son long until next week. Any 'omments you may make regard ng this column will be gratefully eceived. 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.
