?AROUND THE * TOWN By W. V. SHKI.TOV ? The three vegetables .starting witli a 'b' are beets, beans and broccoli. . . We awarded pusses to Misses Martha Ann Stnwd and Adelaide Johnson in town and to Billy Fuller of Boute 3 and Miss ltuby May, of ('astalia. Henceforth we will give four passes, two to Ijouisburg peo ple and two out of town peo ple. As usual answera must be postmarked not later than Sat urday. Those who answer from out of town will please request passes on shows other than Sunday or Monday in order to give us time to mail out the tickets. So here is this week's question. A well known em blem pictures two people and carries the latin phrase Ksse <juam Videri, what is this em blem? H ? K The authorities at Roanoke Ra pids and Weldon are to be com plimented on the small loss ot life in the tragic flood that struck that section. In spite of the ser iousness and damage of the mud dy flood the sacriflce of human life was small. In spite of the heroic work of the Red Cross and various relief agencies Roanoke Rapids and Weldon have and will suffer mightily at the work of the river. Though property damage was great the greatest damage is to the men and women who work ed for wages and subsistence in the many factories and mills there. Their earning power has been destroyed for some time to come and from this fact alone damage has been great. We re call a few Wednesdays ago while on a bus t>rip as guests ot the Carolina Coach Co. we met Mr. Carroll Wilson of the Roanoke Kapids paper. Wilson was a lighthearted soul filled with praise for his town and remarking on the continuing prosperity of his county and city. Sunday Car roll Wilson was on the radio pleading for help for the stricken ; towns and reciting the damage i and power of the raging waters, j This only goes to show the sud denness with which the power o( nature can turn a fine prosperous town into a shambles. The mills closed for months because of flood damage. Roanoke Rapids and Weldou will have a Herculean task on their hands to rebuild tiieir plants and restore the pay roll to many hundreds of work ers. That payroll which is the life blood op people who make their homes in that section will he restored but It will take time. Ill tile meanwhile the work of t-he Relief Agency is cut out because the many factory hands we have known are not a thrifty sort and seldom lay up money for a rainy day. There are exceptions to this rule of course but ('he average mill worker seldom saves much money and in a calamity such as j this they generally become depen- i dant on the government which i never fails to provide. More po- j wer to those towns that in a few j short moiu-hs will have returned j to normalcy and the great flood ot 1940 will be gone but not for gotten. Last week we remarked on the favorable location of Louis burg and Franklin County. The element* of nature seldom do great damage to our property. We agaiu say our section, of the state is to be thankful for a very ideal location where Hoods I and windstorm seldom if ever strike with damage. 11 -Ml A few weeks ago we stated that ! Charlie Chaplin's "The Greab : Dictator" would probably never be released. This week we learn that this picture has been finally set tor distribution. We are look ing forward to seeing Chaplin as the Great Dictator in t'he land of the double-cross. 11?11 We hail a talk Sunday with (i. C. liOf and l'aul T. Nanrr I who have been holding Holi ness meetings for about seven weeks in a tent on the Ball property about four mile^ North of iiouisburg. These ministers of the Holiness Faith had organized a Pentecostal Holiness Church there with about twenty members and were going forward with their work. Then on Friday night a person or persons slashed down their tent and haltered their rented piano bringing a tempo rary halt to this newly formed Church. Previously there had been some criticism of this or ganization there and an anony mous letter written in an un complimentary vein lia<l been received but there had been no disorder. The person or persons who caused the damage should be reminded of the Constitu tional right of any one to wor ship or not to worship as he sees fit. ID/Now Un than ? ' afeaa 111-.
