Stalin was looked upon as a mighty ru- Iw backed'by almost invincible army. To ear that he has lost some of his glamor WMd be'expressing the true situation in a mSd way. Boasia has at least three million trained •oTdiers, more planes than any nation, an adequate supply of tanks and other war machinery. Finland has hardly one tenth as many solcders and few implements of warfare. But the balancing power in the conflict so far has been something not to be count ed in numbers or amounts. That is pa triotism on the part of the soldiers. The Finns are fighting for the existence of their country, which has guaranteed them a certain amount of freedom that would vanish as the mists should Russia win. The Russian soldiers should know by now that they are fighting for Stalin and that .they have nothing to gain. That ex 's the disorderly retreat of entire di- bns of soldiers before the onslaught of a few Minnish fighters. The desire for freedom and liberty has throughout the ages been the factor which has spurred men to performance of mighty deeds. The love of a good country in the hearts of soldiers is more valuable in bat tle than might of numbers or materials. A Privileged People All too often we are too engrossed in own petty troubles to catch the signi ficance of our blessings. One of the gr^t- eat of these is the fact that we are Anaeri- eans. That we live in this good country should atir our souls with patriotism now as never before. With a great part of the world in «• turmoil of war and with the liberties of multiplied millions taken away, it is time that we appreciate to the fullest extent that we are Americans. ' We sometimes wonder what has happen ed that children are no longer taught the patriotic songs resplendent with the theme liberty and the sacrifices of valiant fore fathers who made this country possible. Why do we not have flag drills and why are children not taught to be patriotic? Neglect in those little things causes 'many of our national ills. Instead of vrauting to do something for their country, are numerous people today who want to loot the national treasury by de- jieption. It is now recognized as all right .fOr^et anything from Uncle Sam and no t«^ds are barred in the wrestle to drain old man of his every resource. Such Is not patriotism and such tactics show no jjSppreciation for our great land of oppor- ?**to^America we do not shudder at the wxfand of an airplane; we go to the market ^d buy just as much as we want to pro- .^ed we have the means; our purchases ire not limited bv government decree; our streets arc well lighted and we do not iiav6 to grop6 around, in the dark at nig’ht. We read our newspaper and know that we read was written by persons who not told by dictetors what to write; .we have an opportunity to learn the ^th. ^ We Americans know nothing of bomb belters: we have never woni gas masks; ^^long tc whatever parties or other or- izations we choose and can change our notions any time without fear of fac- ^flrjnng squad; we c^verse with 1^ and say what we please isrithort we do not expect our maU to be lied BBd censored before it reaches our r^ican change our plwe of dwelling the aie- of conscience, Borrow^ Ceinii^ ^ THE VOICE OF THt CHARWySR (Greensbcffo News) g Senator Bqrkh, who never goea to hear Ib*eflidents deliver opening b merges to Congress anyway, observee that it is dan- geroue-,^e'does not sayedangerous for a.

There is a macic of the spoken word which ’depends but incidentally upon the word itself, and the Roosevelt maste^ of that magic is about the heaviest handicap, ordinarily, that an opposition can have. .. Tb 3re were those who thought that Gov ernor Roosevelt, of New York, had a speaking voice rather squeaky in some of its tones, its musical qualities pretty well obscured by faults and flaws, and a laugh that left a great deal to be desired. We recall hearing someone with discriminat ing ears say, when F. D. R. emerged as a candidate for the presidency, that his laugh was offensive. The evidence is plenary that he has managed to find time, in the midst of a multitude of tasks and distractions, to do a-lot of work on the cultivation of that voice and the use •of it, with high profit. Who aspires to the eminences will do well to give heed to these matters. The mother who expects her son to be a chief over his fellows should understand that he will hardly arrive at that estate unless he is able to talk himself at least a good part of the way there.

POE (Shelby Daily Star) Dr. Clarence Poe, nationally known ag riculturist, sound thinking and not given to combastic schemes, would have made a good governor for North Carolina had he chosen to run and had he been elected. But Dr. Poe did not choose to run and of course, if he had, the chance of! being elected governor would have been, at least problematical. It is known that men high in the coun cils of the state, leaders in many friends in North Carolina, hoped, and indeed urged, that the Raleigh editor offer for the gov ernorship. Mr. Poe has had much to do with for mula! ing a progressive program for the south which is being sponsored by gover nors of several states. He believes sin cerely in this program and he has resolv ed to dedicate his future activities to^ bringing this program into active realize 'moved from Mr. Luther Pardue’s tion. Motivated by such sincerity of purpose the activities of Dr. Poe toward bring ing “balanced prosperity” to the economic life of the south should be fruited. More over his efiu; us in that direction, entailing obvious sacrifices on his part, should bring him full cooperation by the people of North Carolina as at least a full and sym pathetic hearing by the people of other states, particularly in the south. Indeed the ten-year program to which Dr. Poe is devoting his time and talents i.s worthy of review. It calls for: ■ 1. Money crops, including forestry, both food, feed and, fertilizer crops. 2. All crops with livestock, consistent with sound land use. 3 .. Production progress with market ing and transportation opportunities free of trade barriers. 4. Farms with factories. 5. Land, water and mineral resources with population needs. 6. Work with thrift and local invest ments. 7. Owner prosperity with worker pros perity. 8. Increasing income with increa.sing home ownership. 9. Wealth with beauty and culture. 10. Economic gains with advances in moral values and human welfare.

Another chapter was written In the noted calf suit, that threat ened to rival the Hatfield-McCoy feud, not long before Christmas, when the calf claimed by Mr, Frank Sparks and the one he Is keeping until court, ran away to Mr. Pardue’s, or arrived there in some manner, ’/{.rough the inter vention of Mr. Sparks’ lawyer. Attorney J. Hubert Whicker, it was returned to Mr. Sparks by Deputy Sheriff Worth Sale. In some manner the heifer’s horn is said to have' been .broken. It Is generally agreed that both fami lies are honest in their convic tions and the case is merely an amusing .mix-up of mistaken iden tity or poor memory. No sawing has been, done on the old Tll)ey place since before Christmas, on account of the serious illness of Mr. Bdmlnsten. He had already sawed at nine yards, the last one being near Mr. Silas W.
