Who is thy neighbor? He whom thou hast power to aid or bless; Whose aching heart or burning brow thy soothing hand may press. Thy neighbor? ’Tis the fainting poor whose eye with want is dim.

Anniversary Celebration Advertising Bureau of North Wilkes- boro’s Commerce Bureaus is busily engag ed laying plans for a 50th anniversary celebration for North Wilkesboro and should have the fullest cooperation possi ble from every civic group and public 1 spirited individual who is interested in the progress of the city and community. Citizens of North Wilkesboro have mul tiple reasons to be proud of the pecord of their city during its half century of e\ir. tence and this pride should be incentive to do their part toward makhig the celebra tion the outsUnding success it deserves. A meeting is to be held on Thursday night to hear more about plans for the celebration. All civic clubs are asked to be well represented and an open invitation is extended all who are interested to be present. To make the celebration the success it deserves to be will be a big task and, in our -opinion, the public spirited people of the city will unite in their eifforts to put the celebration over in such a manner that North W'ilkesboro will receive much fav orable publicity. Thy neighbor? ’Tis the weary slave, fatten ed in mind and limb; He hath no hope this side the grave; go thou and ransom him. Thy neighbor? Pass no mourner by; per haps thou canst redeem breaking heart from misery; go share thy lot with him. —Author Unidentified. Borrowed Comment i®- FwC.H.i.Oaiiir Thursday The newest piece of journalism to reach \ our desk was a copy of ‘‘Thursday . a ^ weekly publication started in Winston-Sa- j lem by Bill Sharpe, former news editor of -the Twin-City Sentinel and more recently I publicity director for the advertising divi sion of the North Carolina Department Of | Conservation and Development. , “Thursday” is a unique publication i i tabolid size and the first issue had 40 page.s filled with news matter very intere.stingly told and advertisements attractively con structed. I Bill is known throughout the state foi- his ability as a newspaperman and many will watch his publication with much inter- 3.st and with everv'- wish for its success. FINLAND (Baltimore News-Post) There should be no let-down now in Fin nish relief from private sources in this country. Never did the people of Finland need the help of all humane persons more than at present. There are hundreds of thousands of. Finns homeless—many of them fleeing from Russian-acquired territories. Herbert Hoover, chairman of the Finnish relief fund, has cabled to President Kallio of Finland that his organization “will con tinue to do its utmost in service to the Fin nish people.” Mv. Hoover’s appeal to the .American people to continue to meet “the civilian emergencies” which the war and the sur render have brought about should spur to redoubled efforts all who are engaged in this noble work. The war is over (temporarily at least) in Finland, but the misery has ju.st begun. There are hundreds of thousands of wounded and 600,000 civilians, including 150,000 children, from the evacuated areas that require instant attention. To this heroic people let us “give till it hurts”, as we used to say during the World War. A dollar for Finland is a dollar for .a child or a woman in a land that has done no harm to any but which has, by com- The Camp Area Commander, Third C. M. T. Camp Area, an nounces that the procurement of enrollees for the C. M. T. Camp at Fort Bragg is progressing sat isfactorily. However, there are some backward counties. Each county is given a quota based up on its population. Applications from some counties are already well over the allotted quotas; whereas, some counties are much under the quotas. It is desirable that each county quota be filled, in order that this service of our Government be of equal benefit to all. Should any county fall to fill its quota by April 16, 1940, other counties so desiring will be allowed to over-subscrlhe and thus fill the camp area’s allot ment. In the past, some counties have been allowed to enroll as many as three times their allotted quotas. For the information of eligible young men. and their parents, note that the Citizens Military Training Camps are not operated on a basis of financial gain to individuals, but as a service of the United States Government to train future leaders of our great I ation. The young men attending t.ieso camps are taught the princi ples of fair play, value of team work, fundamentals of patriotism, and the obligations and responsi bilities of true Americans. The primary object of these camps is not to turn out soldiers, but to create substantial citizens into whose hands the reins of democ racy will eventually fall. Requirements tor attendance are simple. The applicant must be physicallyTit, of good charac ter, and an American citizen. He must have reached his seven teenth birthday by June 12. 194U and not have pa.ssed his twenty- ninth birthday. .Ml interested persons are in vited to apply to the C. M. T. Camp Area Commander, Fort llraKK, N. C.. and an Information Booklet regarding this truly .American activity will be for warded immediately. Young men, let’s go! Special efforts are being made to make this year’s camp tlie most in structive and enjoyable cam;- ever held. Wilkes County has 8 vacancies. Cel’s fill them and thereby reap the benefit of funds allotted our county by the Government for this worthy purpose. ^ Boston.—^Ths prise in the “bat tle of clamonr” between debu tante and professional models was won by a “sneak entry’’ of fe male impersonators from Har vard’s Hasty Pudding Clu'bt The team of four begowned models “muscled” Into the con test staged for the Polish relief fund and carried off the "hon ors.” The Judges fled. Miss Leslie Blake, who quit the debutante team at the eleventh hour, won a cup for physical per fection, and led the professional team to second place in the "glamour’’ modeling contest, out come of a challenge by the pro fessionals who protested that the society girls were taking their '^bread-and-bu^tter Jobs” by mod eling for nothing. The four Judges, Including Car toonist Peter Arno anil Princess Gourielli-Tchkonia (Helena Rub- enstein), unaiiimously favored Miss Blake’s team of 12 until in termission. Then, while the audience ex claimed, four Harvard “girls” stalked to the stage.

In takirrj the census the enumerator'^ are j?oing to ask a lot of iiuestions. ;!nd the first impre.ssion relative to some of them will be ‘It is none of your busine.ss.” Rut there should be no Tear on the pai't of the per.sons ciue.stioned because the in formation will be kejJt cnnfideiUia! and when all is [)ut tO”ethor the irovernmenl will have a ba.sis of information upon which to ba.se its policies. Commenting on the 1940 census, the Morganton News-Herald carried the fol lowing editorial: “April 1st has been set as the date for beginning of the rounds of the census takers and the questions that will be asked in compiling population facts and figures in the decennial count have come in for a lot of discussion, pro and con. “There may' be two sides to the question —there usually i.s—but citizens in genera! should remember that there are good rea- .sons behind every query on the census .sheet. “Critics of the setup as establi.shed by the census bureau point out that the can vassers are straying a long way from the simple constitutional provision which pro vides for nothing more complicated than counting heads. They wouldn’t mind a few of the questions that census takers in tend to ask citizens, but they think Uncle "..Sam is going a little too far when he sets out to discover intimate details about family life. “On the other hand, from the viewpoint ■of the census bureau, the questions to be a.sked are not designed to embarrass heads of households, nor to snoop purposelessly into private matters. All that’s wanted is more data on American life than has ev§r. l>een collected before with a view toward' establishing a rich fund of statistics on re- jsources. Theoretically, every scrap of in formation gathered will be held as strict ly confidential legitimate excuse. THE ALLIES AND THE SIT DOWN WAR (Charlotte Ob.server) Maiiife.rtly, the people of France are not sati.'fied with the way Daladier has been shaping the policies of the war. .After failing to receive more than half the votes in the French Chamber in a test rf confidence, the Premier has resigned in oi-der that a new cabinet may be formed that will be more aggres.sive and militant. The same di.sseiit is to be observed with the leadership of Chamberlain in Great Britain. ' He has either been muffing .so many easy ones or, if not that, Hitler has been sending him out so many that were too hot for him to handle, that the unbrella man finds himself the target of increasing dissi- dence. j It is by no means unthinkable that he. i too, may be forced out of the commander G.

This 4th day of March, 1940. C. C. HAYES, Clerk Superior Court, Wilkes Conaty, North ChroUna 3-26-41 m ‘We have no doubt but that the can vassers selected for Burke county will be considerate and courteous and will hold the facts they gather as private anil con fidential—^for purposes of record only. “How can social and economic advances be brought about, it should be remember ed aakM the people interested know to extent change is needod? How can ship unless he agrees to do some shaking up of his own cabinet and infuses a litt!- more daring and initiative into his own bones. The major criticism to be offered, of course, to the policies of the Allies has to do with the lack of aggre.ssive warfare on land and to the reliance of their govern ments on the ultimate effectiveness of the blockade. This not only is a policy of vacuity inso far as producing dramatic and tangible re sults, but there may be a growing fear in these countries of the Allies, rather reason ably based we should think, that their ene mies are getting all the better of the argu ment cn this score and that Germany may, as a matter of fact, be able to outlast Great Britain and France in this economic attri- tional game.
