I *6r, part of the’ Borrowed Comment Overcoming Feed Shortage J. B. Snipes, Wilkes county farm agent, had published last week an outline of crops which may be seeded immediately to produce grazing and feed to replace feed lost in the flood. Farmers who lost their growing crops, especially corn and hay crops, in the flood August 14 may be faced with a feed shortage unless they can do something about it immediately and the county agent outlined some sound advice on what to BOW for fall and spring grazing and for spring hay crops. Much can be done to alleviate the feed shortage situation but early action is ad vised. Those who may not have read Mr. Snipes’ article would do well to inquire at his office and learn more about seeding grazing and feed crops now for feed dur ing the coming winter and spring. MR. WILLKIE OUGHT TO AID (Charlotte Observer) It would be a tremendous s ervice to that body of leadership in Congress, to the President and to multitudes of the Ameri can public fully sympathetic with the idea, if Mr Willkie would be willing at once to give blanket endorsement to the idea of th-e American government tender ing 50 or 60 destroyers to the government of Great Britain. It is rather generally believed that Mr. Roosevelt will issue executive order within a few days making this commitment. And it may be reasonably supposed that when he shall have made this order, it will be executed with relative despatch in -Kiilii: .. edametittfe Ink I.T»pntli PQrttfhhtr li^eA iiW8 ca^'^ CommJrtInn’s Wuh^on^ij^j^ BOt ,rrt^ jhi^ the closiiii^ :Two closing drtaa^e given-^tfio Hrst goTerns ra^^rt: at ap^lettlbfls frpn^ penpng'tft' at#t§8 east of {Morkdo; tiie sec- ;«id, from Gbloftia^and States j wertWajd.

There is ample ground in this vicinity above the highest water marks and a spur of the railroad tracks to some available industrial sites would be a distinct asset to the city and community. School Days Today thousands of Wilkes county chil dren entered the school rooms for another term. They may not realize it now, but they are experiencing one of the happie.st per iods in their lives and also one of great op portunity. In this age of educational opportunitie.s the child who does not take advantage of them is going to be left behind in the rush. Education used to mean preparation for a job. It means more than that today— it means learning how to live in a civiliza tion filled with puzzling perplexities and myriads of problems. To be without an education when you become an adult will probably mean that you will be without a means of earning a decent livelihood and it may also mean that it will be difficult to normally mix with the populace in a social way. The school term beginning today repre sents a glorious opportunity for advance ment in educational lines. It also represents a big investment in tax money. It means that the parents of the children are spending large sums for schools. This fact should impress fath ers and mothers to urge their children to make the most of education opportunities presented. aid to Great Britain. In view', therefore, of his know'n attitude on the issue, it is not too much to ask and expect him to lay aside all possible politi cal contingencies at the moment and throw himself patriotically into this cause which is So essential to American destiny. What the issue demands of him as the Republican candidate for President is far more than a piere negative attitude.

COMPLETE LINE OF PETERS SHOES ANNOUNCING OPENING OF FANCY AND STAPLE GROCERIES Drunk Drivers Kill 48 Drinking drivers were responsible for 48 street and highway fatilities in North Carolina the first six months of this year, according to a summary just completed by the Highway Safety Division. Ronald Hocutt, director of the division, said the accident records for the first half of 1940 show that 50 drunken or drinking drivers were involved in 42 fatal accidents in which 48 persons were killed. “The drinking driver is not the most nu merous type of offender on our highways,” commented Hocittt, ”|but he certainly is the roost dangerous. *1116 person who has taken any alcohol beverages into his sys tem, even one drink of liquor, is a highly menace.to every other person CANADA-U. S. DEFENSE j (Lenoir News-Topic) | The three thousand miles of undefended border between the United States and Can-| ada have long been a source of great pride, and satisfaction to both countries. They] prove our mutual good faith and good will* and they afford an example to the rest of^ the world of the way nations can get along together. In normal times about the only requirement with which a visitor has to comply in going from one countrj’ to the other on the train is to leave his bag or suitcase slightly open as the inspector comes through and answer the question “coming back?” Your word is taken. That extensive border is also a practical reason for including Canada within the Monroe Doctrine. If Canada were con quered by a foreign power, with world dominion in view, it would put this coun try in a very hot spot. We have no desire to build fortifications along that border, but we have a strong interest in helping Canada to remain a free, sovereign state and one of the best neighbors any nation ever had. Thus the decision of President Roose velt and Premier Mackenzie King to set up a joint board of common defense seems tol be a perfectly logical move and meets with general approval. The statement is sued by the two men gives the board’s first task as the study of “sea, land and air problems, including personnel and ma terial” and “in the broad sense the de fense of the northern half of the Western Hemisphere.” German comment on this proposal call ed it “nothing less than taking Canada in to the United States system.” But such comment was to be expected from a nation that has not permitted iself to live in peaceful relations with next door neigh bors for, any considerable length of time during the past 100 years. It is an exam ple of peaceful relations and understand ing between democracies that is beyond^ the sphere otf comprehension of a glutton ous tyrant.
