Community Singings
This part of the state has long been fa-
Imous for its fifth Sunday singing conven
Itions.
Opinions may differ about the kind and
I type of music best suited for worship ser
vices but that is beside the point—^the com
munity singrings decidedly have a whole
some influence on those who participate
and those who listen.
As for fifth Sunday and holiday sing
ings we say, more power to ’em and would
gladly encourage attendance at every one.
Singing always experts good influences
and inspires human toward a better and
happier existence.
On the subject of “Community Sings”,
the State Magazine last week made the
following editorial comment:
“At this time of year there are a num
ber of towms throughout North Carolina
that are staking so-called community sing
ings.
“Outstanding among them is the town
of Benson. Last Saturday and Sunday it
is estimated that there were more than
20,000 people present to listen to the
scores of groups that participated in the
event
.-‘‘‘There is something peculiarly whole
hearted and sincere about occasions of this
kind. They help to bring out the good
qualities in people and they likewise help
to submerge the bad qualities. Everyone
feels better after participating in a song or^
after having listened to it.
“Benson is to be congratulated upon
having staged this event annually for
twenty years. We hope it will continue
doing so, and we hope that the same kind
otf program will be undertaken by an in
creasing number of towns in the state.”
Flag Of Our Country
A few weeks ago, Americans celebrated
Flag Day.
It is an occasion that has' been duly ob
served ever since 1896, but we doubt
whether, in the 46 years of its existence,
the day has taken on a deeper meaning
than it did this time. Events in Europe
have brought about a new awakening of
our national consciousness. Inevitably,
therefore, the flag has again attained its
true proportions as a symbol of America—
America, something more than a mere
name on the face of the globe; America, a
single word that embraces the concepts of
material welfare, spiritual dignity, and hu
man freedom, ideals nearly extinct in so
many other human souls.
It is only natural in these troubled times
that the average citizen of this coun^
should pay particular reverence to the na
tion’s flag. But it would be wise, too, if
we remembered during al Ithe other days
of the year that this emblem of our securi
ty and our welfare is just as important.
Flag Day, 1940, will have attained its full
est meaning if we retain the spirit we dis
play at th(at time in our every waking mo
ments, every day of the year.

Youth And Patriotism
Among the hundreds of young men who
are now answering the call of the Marine
Corps, which is adding 9,000 more men to
its ranks, it has been demonstrated that
patriotism is still very much in evidence.
“Men enlist for every reason under the
sun, and we are not always able to deter
mine why some of them prefer the Maiine I
Borrowed Comment
FORD CAN DO IT!
(Twin City Sentinel)
Henry Ford said that if he were given a
free hand and told what was wanted, he
could make 1,000 airplanes a day.
Uncle Sam took Henry’s assurance some
what seriously and sent him a model plane
of the type now used in the American Ar
my. Another improved type is to be sen-
later. Mr. Ford was asked to inspect the
planes and see whether he could turn them
out at the fabulous' rate of 1,000 a day.
But if this were intended dto call a
“bluff,” it didn’t faze Mr. Ford. The Gen
ius of Dearborn, with his son, Edsel, and a
group of engineers and experts have gone
over the first model plane rather careful
ly. And now Ford states that not only can
he make 1,000 per day, but that he can do
it without curtailing automobile produc-
Corps,” says Sergeant Jud H. McDonald,
Noncommissioned Officer in charge, 23S
Post Office Building, Winston-Salem, N. C.
“For anyone to state that love of coun
try is the main reason for enlisting in
peace times would be stretching the truth
to the limit. Lacking a fanfare of trum
pets and the stimulus of a grave national
emergency, men are more likely to enlist
for economic or other reasons.
“Regulations require that we investigate
every man w'ho applies for enlistment and,
of course, we are principally concerned
with the physical and mental status as
well as his educational and moral back
ground.
“We do not probe very deeply into the
applicant’s views on patriotism, each re
cruit being requeste dto swear allegiance
to the country at the time of his enlistment.
- In the course of our examination, how
ever, more and more applicants are re
vealing a devotion to their country that is
by- no means inspired by questioning on
our part.”
For years the U. S. Marines have been
noted for their esprit de corps, demon-
'gtrated on countless occasions in the past
^and still one of their outstanding charac-
§ teristics. This has been prompted largely
by love for their flag, their country and
«oipB and accounts in part for their ex
cellent morale.

Which should be sufficient to win for
him his opportunity f) show what can be
done by the vast Ford mass production!
system. There is one drawback, however,
for he insists that all the planes he manu
factures must be kept in America for the
defense of the United States, and not for
shipment abroad.
This is not a very serious bar to an
agreement withal, since the Ford planes
could be used in stocking the American
Army, Navy and Coast Guard units, and
for supplying the needs of civil aviation,
while other plants manufactured planes
for the Allies.
So why not give Henry Ford the “go
ahead” signal? That seems to be one of
the simplest and surest ways of getting
the planes we need for the defense of the
United States within the shortest possible
time.
NOT HERE
(Reidsville Review)
With so many motorists dn the road as
the touring season swings into full speed
ahead, there goes up the cry of speed
traps and unjust fines imposed by rural au
thorities. The city drivers have complain
ed of ti^fling infractions that are imposed
on them with heavy fines by small town
authorities who take this means of collect"

This is not true in Reidsville and yet we
can name ,some* places where such is
curing. There are many traps^that
