C. aa second class mall matter. WAKE UP AMERICA ? IT'S LATE The following Editorial is reproduced from the front page of the New York World Telegram of its issue of March 5, 1942: The nation needs to awaken to the full gravity of the peril that confronts it. It needs to appreciate how badly we have been de feated in three months of war. It needs to understand that it is possible for the Unit ed Nations and suffer the fate of France ? and that this possibility may become a probability if the present tide does not change. It needs to realize that there is grave chance of the Japanese pushing through India and the Germans driv ing through the Near East, to join their armies and re sources in an almost unbeatable combination. It needs to get away, once and for all, from the com forting feeling that while we may lose at the start we are bound to win in the end. Only when fully aware of existing perils will the United States do its utmost.. .Pray God that awareness will not come too late, as it did in France! Production Director Donald Nelson appeals for vastly increased industrial output on a 24-liour, seven day basis ? 168 hours a week. Maximum production, in short. Can we get it? Not on the present basis? not under the psychology of recent years. Not until, we quit thinking in terms'of less work for more money. Not while there is greater concern about overtime pay than overtime production. Not while farmer politicians are more interested in higher prices than raising more ??sentials. Not while government bureaus? created to meet a depression emergency that is ended ? continue to grab for themselves money needed for armaments. NotwTiTTe alT army of federal press agents clamor to promote and perpetuate activities that have no present need or value. Aot wlnle Congressmen try to put over useless canals and river schemes and tnke up the time of defense of ficials clamoring for factories and contracts as if war were a great gravy train. Not while WPA, despite a shortage of labor, seeks to earrv on projects which it doesn't have the. men to per form or the need for performing. Not while CGC and NYA stretch greedy hands for funds to pamper young men who ought to 1m? in the arm ed forccs or the war plants. Not while strikes hamper war production, despite a solemn promise that they would stop. Not while the life-and-death need for uninterrupted production is used as a weapon to put over the closed shop. Not while double time is demanded for Sunday work which is only part of a 40-hour week. Not while a man can't be employed on an army proj ect or in a war plant until he pays $20 to "$50 or more to a labor racketeer. Not while criminal gangs control employment and al location of men to work on the Normandie and other Bhips along New York's vast waterfront. Not while fifth columnists are pampered and enemy aliens move freely in defense areas. Not while the grim job of preparing our home com munities against air raids and sabotage is gummed up with a lot of highfalutin', boon-dogling, social service activity. Not while pressure Tdocs clamor for higher benefits, bounties and pensions. , We will not get maximum production, in short, un less, first, we fully realize our awful peril; and, second, get over the gimmes of recent years. Gimme shorter hours, gimme higher wages, gimme bigger profits, gimme more overtime, gimme less work, gimme more pensions, gimme greater cfop benefits, gimme more appropriations and patronage, gimme plants for my Congressional district, gimme fees and dues to work for Uncle Sam, gimme ham 'n' eggs, gimme shftre tbe-wealth, gimme $30 every Thursday. France had the gimmes, too? had them till the Germans were close to Paris. Then everybody went frantically to work ? too lflte. _ France has no gimmes today ? except gimme food for my baby, gimme a place to lay my head, gimme death. MAKE EVERY PAY DAY BOND DA?

I with much interest: Oxford. N. C., Mar. 13. 1942. To the Editor of the FRANK LIN TIMES: I was interested to read in the last issue of your pa per a reference to a visit made by Mr. John Knox Beasley to Mrs. J. T. Howell, of Portland, Oregon. Mrs. Howell was form erly Miss Willie- Thompson, of Louisburg College. She has vis ited us several times in the past two years. On her last visit she was returning from Washington, and gave us an interesting ac count of a visit to the White House, where she had been invit ed to1 have a cup of tea with the First Lady and some members of her family. Through the cour tesies extended her by Mrs. Roosevelt, she succeeded In In troducing her Invention Into the government hospitals ? which had been the purpose of her visit to Washington. Mrs. Howell's sis ter, Miss Mary Thompson, )ias been Principal of a school at Grants Pass. Oregon, for eleven years. I mention these facta be cause I am sure both girls have friends in Louisburg who will be glad to know of their success. With best wishes for the FRANKLIN TIMES. MRS. IVEY ALLEN.

Since the time has passed : in agricultural areas when the, need for relief jobs Is necessary, we recommend that the eztsting ' WPA organisation cooperate with the farmers to place their clients ! where tbey can do a real job in producing for national defense. 3.
