But that is far from the case. Many peo ple in other parts of the world thought they were secure until bombs began to fall. When attack comes it is too late to effi ciently form a. civilian defense organiza tion. Now is the time to become well or ganized and be ready for whatever emer gency may come. That is why civilian de fense is receiving ’so much attention now. Naturally, we believe that North Wilkes- boro and other parts of Wilkes &■ more safely situated as far as bombing attacks are concerned because of the lack of mili tary objectives. Yet those elements do not iiJiure us against attack in a war where anything can happen and much has hap pened already in almost every part of the world. All liverty loving people should support the civilian defense organization by vol unteering for whatever services they can render. Country Over Politics It seems that about everybody is being called on to sacrifice in the interest of all- ■ out victory efforts except politicians. in'^Uv-hwnhle- opinion, it is time for {politicians to quit looking at everything in I a political light and consider first the wel- lx» rwN.iv^f..%r r\v will Tint hp ’fare of the country—or there will not be any country in which to run for office. We think that elections should go ahead according to constitutional schedule—war or no war—but what we do mean is that politics should have no- consideration in any of our victory efforts. Those in authority should steer clear of politics when selecting men to handle the vast business of administration during a national emergency. In so doing they should follo\v the ex ample of President Roosevelt, who has placed men in administrative capacity ac cording to his belief concerning their abil ities and without consideration of party affiliation. This is clearly evidenced by the ap pointment of Knox and Stimson in the cab inet as secretary of the navy and s.ecretary of war, respectively, and the several Re publicans who were called in to help with ^administering the gigantic defense pro gram. This non-partisan basis of selection should be carried out on down the Pne of administration to the smallest boards in counties or divisions of counties and the fitness of the man should in all cases gov- ieni the appointment. I If the fate of the nation does not take precedence over political manipulations jthe country isn’t worth saving. I But we are firm in our belief that the American people love liberty more than political intrigue and that any who have iet politics enter into war time administra tion will see the error of their way and [)Ut country first. ' Do Your Part There are many kind of patriotism, I nany ways of showing your love for Amer- ca. The battlefronts are far away across ;he oceans, yet right here at home all of us ;an be soldiers and can behave like sel lers, with courage and discipline. In the crisis that’s the least that we can ^e in America we’ve got the best sys- mass production in the world, also got the best system of distribu- That’s why in normal times more ieople can buy niore things more easily le^.^n anywhere else. Now that some are apt to become scarce, we’ve false rumors of severe scardtaes, by buy ing no more than you usually do, by trust ing in America and America’s ability to keep you supplied with all the tilings you really need. Victory The Objective America has awakened to the fact that democracy as we know it is definitely and dangerously threatened by aggressor na tions—Japan, Germany and Italy. Since reverses in the Pacific we know that we have a hard fight ahead. ' This means that we must have united and an all-out national effort for victory. Winning the war is the ONE objective now which places all other objectives, wants and desires in. places of secondary importance. Because—without victory in this war the things of lesser importance which we need and want would be impossible. There’s only one New Year resolution to make for 1942: “I hereby resolve that all my thought, all my energy, all my strength shall be poured out unstintingly throughout this coming year toward the single objective that tyranny and aggression shall be van quished and wiped from the earth; that freedom shall be victorious in war and in the peace to follow.” The test of the importance of anything now and its value is whether or not it would help to carry out that resolution. It would be unpatriotic to try to get for our own use anything that is needed in the united efforts for victory. It is our duty to wait patiently for anything for our own benefit which can be used to fight our ene mies and to subdue them. For without victory in this war all would be lost. Borrowed Comment OVERTAXING TRUCKS AND GASOLINE (Progressive Farmer) For Uie on the writer’s farm two or three years ago we bought a)i old, almost worn- out truck (made in 1934) from a city con tractor, paying a little over $100 for it. Now it would hardly bring over $45 if sold at the courthouse door—yet the state call ed for a $45 license on what was left of that 1934 truck this year! The result was that we joined Gordon Winkler, Harry Caldwell, U. B. Blalock, J. C. Lanier and other in raising Cain about the matter when the last legislature met . . . and for tunately a law was passed providing that for 1942 and thereafter there will be a 50 per cent cut in cost of license plates on all trucks used solely for farm purposes. In other words, our 1942 license will now cost only $22.50 instead of $45. A farmer’s truck is not likely to be used more than 10 per cent of the days at best; a city busi ness man may use his truck every day of the year. Hence a 50 per cent cut for the farmer’s is only justice. A still more serious injustice down in South Carolina is that farmers there have to pay a highway maintenance tax on every gallon of gasoline used in farm trac tors. Mr. Garden of our staff also work ed with South Carolina farm leaders to get that changed last winter. South Carolina readers should demand that their state no longer lag behind others in remedying this injustice. seed expoeitlon of the N. C. Crop Improvement Assooiatoin is held at Greenville, N.

No entry fee is charged for ex- hiblbts entered in any class. If you have some corn or lespedeza or small grain, soybeans, cow- peas, peanuts, cotton, toibacco, potatoes, crimson clover or cro- talaria seed of which you are proud, send It along,” the seeds man said. “Then come to the show yourself and compare your seed with the other fellow’s.’’ Exhibits should be mailed or expressed to R. R. Bennett, Pitt county farm agent. Qui^tioitt AvirwM^.By Q1&B8TION: ^ Is It necessary A tobuild new ppqltfy bouses if the flock Is Increased?-' ■, ANSWERt T. T. Brown, exten sion ponltryman, says farmers should look around for unusned buildings before going to the ex pense of constructing new houses Then, after the emergency is over there will have been no large ex-, penditure resulting from the con struction of .new buildings. A few dollars spent in converting an unused building Into a brood er house or laying houee will be a good investment. QES’TION: Does It pay to cut or shred corn or sorghum being fed to farm animals? ANSWER: Cutting or shred ding corn or sorghum lessens waset and makes for better bed ding.. Some farmers cut their roughage in order to handle and store it in the barn loft more readily. In such cases, it should be dried thoroughly to prevent heating and molding while in storage. ^nad.
