We don’t believe he can. Our American Way During the past few days radios have have been going full blast all over this country and crowds have 'congregated by numerous receiving sets. Many have strained their ears when the reception was not perfect in order not to miss a word. Listeners have been brilliant with faci al expressions of surprise, glee, or disap pointment. At times some have raised to fairly shout with glee while others have groaned with despair. No, Herr Hitler, the millions of Ameri cans have not been anxiously trying to get news of your latest dastardly deeds in de struction of children on refugee boats and they have not been anxious because they think England might fall; nor do we care how much you rant and threat because we wall be ready once you want to infringe on our way of American life. We have been listening to world series baseball games and to football contests. You self styled European big-shots may laugh at us but nevertheless we like our sports and we would fight for the right to hear r?idio accounts of thtni just like we would fight to retain our many other pri vileges of American life. The sports ac tivities in America are just one little thing in a great big way of living—^that is the American way and we are not going to let foes from within or without hamper that way of living. It may be that we will have to curtail some things if we are threatened but after the job of cleaning up any enemies who might think they are big enough to attack us, we will go right ahead with all the pri vileges of the American way. The American people may go astray temporarily but deep down in us we have an abiding love for our American way of living and wouldn’t trade it for everything that all dictators have to promise. Overcrowding Dangerous The old adage to the effect that there is safety in numbers certainly does not ap ply in automobile travel, according to Ron ald Hocutt, director of the North CaroKna Highway Safety Division. “Happiness is the keynote when a group of young people pile into an automobile and start off to the fair or a football game, or on some other short trip, but if they overcrowd the car, grie|f may soon enter the picture,” said the safety director.

And on top /of that, when there are too many people in a car, the drive? has too many distractions and can not very well keep his or her mind on their driving.” Hocutt cautioned all car owners against overloading their automobiles, and he par ticularly urged that parents who allow their teen-age children the family car to go to a football game, dance or other school activities should admonish their children not to take along any greater number of persons than the car was de signed to accommodate. licenses may be enlisted as first class Seaman, with pay'of $54 per month, while in training.

But England has not Ifallen and if re ports we receive are to be believed, Eng land is stronger in comparison wth Ger many, than she was -when the mass as saults on England began. Commenting on the subject, “Britain Continues To Hold”, the State magazine carried the following editorial: “We believe that the resistance which the British are making against the vic - ous aerial attacks of the Germans will go down in history as one of the most magnificent displays of courage ever witnessed on the part of any people. “Imagine, if you can, what it must mean to the harassed cif zenry of Lon don to be bombarded day after day and night after night. Despite the damage to property, despite the lives that have been lost, despite the loss of sleep and other inconveniences, the morale of the British people is as high and as stout as it ever was. “And, in the meantime, they are steadily increasing in aerial strength, While Germany is steadily losing. If England begins to attack Germany on the scale which Germany has been at tacking England during the last three weeks, we believe that there will be a complete demoralization of the German morale. “An enslaved nation cannot hope to have the same stamina whirh prevails in a free nation. “FYee people fight to the death: slaves lose heart the minute the tide of THE MOST POIGNANT (Twin City Sentinel) We knew it would occur sometime.

PRETTY SOON IT WILL BE PENSIONS (Mount Airy Times) A daughter of a veteran of the war of 1812 is still drawing a pension from the Government. One hundred and thirty other dependants of Mexican War veter ans are receiving pensions. The only ear ly war that is all finished up is the Revo lution of 1776, since no one is drawing a pension as a descendant. Checks go to 410,747 veterans of the World War for pensions, and compensa tion for disability. Additional pensions to the number of 116,538 go to survivors of World War veterans. There are other lesser wars of which the Spanish-Ameri can in 1898 is included. Totals of all pen sions are approximately 1 million checks a month.
