* We were in attendance at a
yery interest tag meeting Friday
night in the City Clerk's office.
Chamber of Commerce I Presi
dent W. (?. Lancaster acted as
chairman while an open discus
sion of Armory dedication plans
took place. The date of the
affair was selected as SKITKM
BfiR 24th. Committees were
appointed to lay out plans for
the dedication service and to
secure publicity for the event.
On that day the town will be
decorated in patriotic regalia
and we want to look our best
for the thousands that will be
here. This is to be a Franklin
County celebration as well as a
great day for Louisburg. Of
importance too is the American
? legion script dance that will
be staged that night to climax
the gala occasion. K. F. Thomas
' is chairman of the Legion dance
committee and promises a great
time for those who will stay
up late. It is the duty of
every man, woman and child
to spread the word by letter or
card to friends within autoing
distance of Louisburg that they
should be here September SStitli.
With the cooperation ol' all that
Tuesday will be a day to long
remember.
H? n
Battery 'B' 113th Field Artil
lery will report* at the new Arm
ory Monday, Sept. 16th for one
years intensive training. It is
understood that the men will live
iu the Armory for ten or possibly
twenty days before leaving for
the regular Army encampment
With the presidential signature
upon the Guard Mobilization Bill
it seems that Louisburg can look
t- forward to things really happen
ing this month. - Tobacco mar
ked opening. Armory dedication
and Guard mobilization promises
to make Louisburg a busy town.
The opening of the schools and
Louisburg College will also bring
more people within our city lim
its.

Kurly Ust month we heard
the British Broadc asting Cor
poration offer a sample copy of
their publication 'London Call
ing' to those listeners who wrote
in and requested same. We
mailed our request to London
and Sunday we received a nice
answer from Mr. H. Stewart of
the Overseas Division of the
BBC. Mr. Stewart stated that
our sample copy of the maga
zine would be received under
separate cover and that corres
pondence from the IIBC listen
ers was particularly helpful
just now as they were Interest
ed in comments ? appreciative
or critical ? on their Overseas
Service. This letter was mail
ed from London August 14th,
traveled by boat and was re
ceived here Sept. 1st. This
shows that in spite of the alleg
ed (ierman blockade that good
mail service still exists between
the United States and Kngland.
A note to stamp collectors. We
will be glad to give the British
envelope and stamp to the first
person who calls.

J. B. Priestly, speaking on the
London short waves Sunday night,
told of a Nazi plane downed in
the channel near the English
coast. A British rescue boat mo
tored out to pick up t>he enemy
aviators who were in their rubber
emergency raft). The crew of the
English craft were amazed to see
three German airmen in the raft
beating a fourth man who was
sMII in the water aSout the head
as if to drow,n him. When asked
of this strange action the Njrzi's
replied that the fourth man was
not an airman but a member ol
the Gestapo. The Germans said
that/ one of the Gestapo alwayt
accompanied each squadron to

see that orders were carried out
to the letter aud that they didn't'
like the Gestapo and their mis
trust of them and other fighting
men. This instance is another
example of the way loyalty to thu
Reich is enforced in Germany. In
other words be a loyal Nazi or
the Gesliapo will get you and from
tales of the deeds of this brutal
police system the German has no
choice but say he is a loyal Nazi.
There is no doubt that countless
numbers are firm believers in
Hitler and his ways but tihere is
also no doubt that many Germans
professing to be Nazis are waiting
and planning for a change. A
government built as this cannot
withstand the best of time.

The Balkans have long been
known us (lie powder keg of
Kumpe but until recently the
explosion* seein to have occur
ed all around this group of
countries. Now that thing* are
happening there the factor that
might possibly solve at least
one of the dictator problems
could arise. The axis powers
seeiu to be trying to dominate
these small countries. That par- |
tlcular axis is pretty badly bent
now and the effort* of the dic
tators to hang the troublesome
Balkans on this flimsy structure
might well cause it's collapse.
Anyhow let's hope so.
Debunking False
Prophets
ThgjxSuntry's self-appointed re
formers have been telling us that
advertising raises the cost of liv
ing. Let's see. Let's take an
example that everybody is famil
iar with.
Cast your mind back to what
you knew or what your parents
knew of the automobile of the
first' few years of this century.
Then a big. heavy, unreliable gas
eater could be bought, without
top, windshield, horn or spare
tire, for from two to six thous
and dollars. Few people bought
this expensive luxury.
But automobile makers saw a
vision, a nation on wheels. They
adverMsed persistently. More peo
ple bought. As production went
up, the cost to make each care
came down. Part of the saving
was put into improvement. Part
went into continued advertising.
Part went to the public in lower
prices. Again more people bought
tl ese better cars for less money.
And so it went, year after year.
Continued advertising, production
and value up. cost and price down,
until today you buy an infinitely
better, more efficient car, com
plete, for less than half of the
lowest price of a few years ago.
The same is true of the refrig
erator, vacuum cleaner, washing
machine, oil burner, radio, elec
tric light bulb; of packaged foods,
clothes, and many another pro
duct that will come to your mind
as you think this over. Adver
tising, says Nation's Business, lias
helped mass selling and made
possible mass production, which
cuts t>he cost and brings the price
within the reach of the average
family.
LOUISRITRO TAKES WIN
