National Unity Needed This is being written on election day sev- Sial hours before the result of the election could have been known. To some of you the election went your way. Others feel blue and disappointed over the results. But the important thing is that all peo ples of America need to unite in one com mon cause to make this country strong, far stronger than it has ever been. The campaign which closed with elec tion day was one of the hardest fought in the history of the Republic. In some places the campaign became “hctt”, to use an American slang expression. Many bitter remarks were dropped and the opposition was blasted in no uncertain terms by spokesmen of both sides. Many charges were hurled, some true and others jnly half truths or outright falsehoods. But the campaign is over and America has spoken. If it spoke wrong it will have a chance to correct its verdict in future elections provided the electorate does not grow soft and feel too secure with the right to vote. To make America strong we must have unity. To have unity does not mean that you cannot disagree with the leadership, ..regardless Qf what polijtcaljspipplexio^ it -'jBiy be." EJven in disagreement the people of the country can have unity in one com mon cause, to bolster democracy, which gives the right to disagree, and to make our nation a physical, economic and spiri tual giant in the world. It All Takes Time Industrial production is really going places now that it is being given the “green light” in our national defense program. Its current activity stands in marked contrast to the period of four months when politi cal dalliers were supposed to do their par of the job. But. even as planes and tanks and the rest of our armaments are beginning to roll off the assembly lines, it is wise to remem ber again the tremendous task that faces industry. The complexity attached to turning out a single finished piece of war equipment is truly staggering. Naturally .t takes time for industry to do this wo?- and do it well. A few facts will give some indication of the problems involved; There are about 78,000 rivets just in the fuselage of a pursuit plane. ' There are 6,000 separate parts in an air plane engine, many of them of more than hairbreadth precision. In some cases, there are more han 500 mbcontractors involved in the making of a b’ig plane. The raw materials used in building p heavy bomber come from 33 states. It takes from a year to a year and a half to build an airship of this type, at a cost of about a million and a quarter dollars. We’ll have adequate armaments and the best of all types in the world, but let’s re member that industry, unlike certain of its critics, isn’t accustomed to promising that it can produce rabbits out of silk hats at a moment’s notice! 18 o: i^jbr ^ ttow migh|}%bw the '^drfense diiyir to » standMi^. The decisiwi of a few wiHful men, powibly taken in contraventiom of ttie desires of the workers, might imperil America’s safety. , , ‘ The public is sick df unnecessary strikes. It is sick of racketeering elements in both labor aifd industry which make such ?trikes. There hfever was a strike.whit couldn’t have been prevented, and an equitable agreement reached, if those on both sides had honestly faced the facts and met around the arbitration table in a sin cere spirit. If both labor and industry refuse to ar- bitrate, if they permit strikes to be called, only one thing can happen—^the establish ment of some dictatorial government au- :hority which will make and enforce deci sions whether labor and industry like it or not. In the interest of self-presei-vation alone, it is vital now for labor and man agement to get together and sattle all dis putes before the strike stage io reached. . , _ > ■‘vir-r;:... _ - JMf, Oct. 8».~A day dhmer...inu. laid^o^ In honor of Ur.

It wlU be recalled that Mr. Andrews Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Horton Andrews Read Your Insurance Policy Many a joke has been made concerning the long provisions, usually printed in small type, in life insurance policies. Their purpose is to make the life insur ance contract absolutely definite and specific. There’s no guess-work involved. Read your policy, and understand exact ly what it provides. If you have difficu’ty interpreting the legal phraseology, ask your agent to explain it to you—^that’s one of his jobs. Only if you understand your policy per fectly, can you be sure you’re getting pre cisely what you want and need. Borrowed Comment Strikes Unnecessary Everyone hears about the strikes thi-.t happen. But little attention is given to - those that didn’t happen. Those are the strikes that are settled by conciliation—by a meeting of minds of the various interests involved. During the past 1, ^year, for instance, the United States gov- emment conciliation service handled more r 'than 3,700 situations involving over 1,400,- 000 people.In the majority of cases, a aettlepient was • reached and the strike avQfided. : Jolm T. Daly, Commissioner of Concilia- recently observed that “every strike HOW TO BEAT THE WAR JITTERS (Reidsville Review) War jitters, if unchecked, will take a se rious toll of American happiness, health and human lives, warns William Moulton Marston, noted psychologist. “The increase seriousness of American war jitters,” declare Dr. Marston in an ar ticle in Your Life Magazine, “makes it im portant to ' understahd the nature arid source of this mentally contagious malady. Certainly its origin is not t(, be found in any immediate threat of devastation like that which England faced after Hitler oc cupied the Channel ports. It was too late then to indulge in war jitters. England wouldn’t afford to go off on an emotional bat—and she didn’t. “With us it is a question, first, whether German invasion will come at all, and second, if it comes, whether the pains-tak ing German planners will require two years or twenty to perfect their elaborate preparations. “That gives us time to stage a few emo- :ional tantrums and still get ready to meet the worst that Nazi destructionists can pro duce. But what Americans fail to realize is that uncontrolled war jitters may do more for Hitler than all the Stukas and 80 ton tanks that German factories can turn out in twenty years.” To meet—and beat—the war jitters Dr. Marston suggests: 1. If you can’t help the people you feel sorry for, think about something else. 2. Face the worst thing that can hap pen and prepare for it. 3. Recognize the fact that strong might often conquers weak right and remember that you can neither kill nor reform the devil. 4. Remember the wars Americans have jittered themselves into and put a stem check-rein on your hates and enthusiasms 5. Relieve your unhappy war feelings by doing something—ivork for Red Cross and refugees, keep te.bs on how our de fense billions are spent. 6. Remember nature’s law that trees cannot grow in the sky, and be comfor- :ed. Old timers can recall when about the most interesting curiosity imaginable was the milkshake machine which some “fur- finer” always operated with foot power at the Fourth of July barbecue.—Greenville News. “Dogs nowadays have learned to keep out of the way of automobiles with an in stinct almost human,” says a prominent dog fancier.

In other ,words. ten mll- Mr. and Mrs. Claude Andrews non dpllars picked from the ~ ' ground, not including thec^ nuts consumed by thousands of farm families who have their own. With this In view, R. W. Grao-’ her, Extension forester at N. C. State College, suggests that North Carolina farm families, especial ly 4-H Club boys and girls, add the growing of black walnut trees as a sideline to their agricultur al enterprises. “No lees than $150,000 worth of nuts are sold in North Caro lina each year,” he declared, “and the possibilities for growing black walnut, -both for nuts and lum ber, ar« good. The market is far from saturated.’’ This is only one of tne angles of “tree farming” stressed by Graeber in his forestry education al pprogram. Continuing, he says “Each year eight hundred million dollars are brought into the A- mericai) bank account through the sale of forest products, mak ing this one of the chief sources of our income. Six million people are directly or indirectly employ ed In our forests; and if it was not for wood, another 122 mil lion or more would have a hard time making a satisfactory liv ing. The house we live in is usual ly made of wood, as well as the bed we sleep In, the chair we re lax in, the table we eat at; and the stove we cook with consumes a lot of wood. Even when the newspaper arrives, it is printed on paper made of wood. Our shoes would be so stiff we couldn’t bend them If they were not treat ed with tannic acid, which is ex tracted from chestnut, hemlock or oak bark. “There are more than 4,500 different uses of wood. This counts, plastic as one use and pap er as one use, hut there are thous ands for each’of thes©."^ *MiS8 Janie Spicer, who has been rather indisposed for sever al days received the news that her great nephew, Burrel Seag- ars, of Dalzell, S.

Miss Eleanor Ferguson enter tained a number of her friends and students of the high school at her home Monday evening with a Hallowe’en party.

The article is the mor^ interesting becahse we were in school at Lenoir when the cele brated trial was On in the courts of Caldwell county and we heard a good part of it.
