Suppose, for instance, that word was to et out that th^re was going to be a serious hortage of sugar. Now, mind you, we said suppose the ord was to get out that there would be a hortage of that commodity. The truth of e matter is, there will be plenty of sugar or all the people. But if everybody was scared that there ould be a shortage, three-fourths of the eople would rush out and buy a six- .onths’ supply. What would be the re- ult? 'After such a stampede of buying, there .vouid be a temporary shortage and soijxe ould be unable to get it, On the other hand, if peop^ isual without any stai ..here would be no^o,^^^ I A shortege developed a few 'I a very brief time in Winston- alem because of rumors of a sugar |hor- age. As a result, stocks were depleted, nany stores were out of sugar and some leople had difficulty finding some. There was an acute shortage of sugar luring the first World War. At that time a greater part of our sugar applies came from Cuba and there was ack of transportation facilities as well as he need for lending big supplies to Eng- and and France. But the sugar situation has changed uch since then. Vast quantities of cane ugar are now produced in the southern- |i06t parts of this country and the sugar eet industry in western states has grown enormous proportions. There should be o more shortage of sugar now than there of flour, corn and cotton, of which we ave large surpluses. Unfounded rumors and careless talk, the ind which pleases Hitler when it goes on this countrj', can create stubborn prob- 08. In other words, the public can be tampeded into fear of what does not ex it. And that is a situation we do not rant. The government will give the people ac- jurate information about any shortage vhich exists and unless you read in the lewspapers or hear by radio from some fficial source of a shortage, dteregard the treet rumors. Those who listen to the rumors and try 0 buy up everything in sight of any one ommodity are liable to wake up and find hat a substantial sum of money has been •oured into a rat hole. have already proved that. Even though we got a late start in the armament race, we’re rapidly catching up. We have the materials to do the job’ better than the aggressors can. We’re the mas ters of mass production, and they have been our pupils, copying our advances dur ing the peace-time years. We outproduced them then, building up a standard of liv ing so high that it became the envy of the world. Now that the cards are on the table we can outproduce them again. It won’t be an easy job, perhaps, but it can be done. And it’s being done. Many of our factories switched to war production months ago. They’re already hitting their strides. And more factories will join them, for this is a battle of the factories. Undoubtedly we’ll have black days of discouragement, but the final battle is the one that counts in warfare, and we shall win it, for the spirit of freedom is still the strongest power on earth, just as it’s al ways been. )B0a N.

War And Bi The all-out^’^ar is making necessary rapid r^ffyatments in business, ^^^^dless of what your business is. ^?^her it be selling, manufacturing, rendering services to customers or produc ing crops from the soil, the war will have varied effects. It may be necessary to make radical readjustments for the duration of the war. It may be necessary' to feature, products and services which have hereti^fore :been secondary. Farmers may need to plan their production for crops and products other than what they have been producing. There may be difficulties in making the necessary readjustments, but the American people have the initiative to do whatever is necessary to win a complete victory and make certain that their way of life is not again threatened by aggres.sors abroad. It is the duty of those at home to carry on, to make whatever adjustments are re quired, to produce what is needed, and above all, to aid in America’s vict.-ry pro gram in whatever way they can.

Since they were repor ters. it would be foolish to as sume that they had three dollars —so we say they had to raise that amount. Strange to say, one of the re porters was very much of a relig ious soul and was oft prone to rely more on divine providence than on his own initiative. One suggested that he woul(J go out and try to get three dol lars by some means.

In a few minutes a fine dog walked in. The reporter who was waiting on the Lord to provide three dollars patted the dog on the hear, and made friends with the aniibal to such an extent *hat when aTwealthy man strolled in a lew minutes later he thought the doj belonged to the reporter and he asked the reporter what price he had on his dog and would he sell it. “Three dollars", he said. The wealthy would-be purch aser was astonished and told him that the dog would would easily be wor h $100. But the reporter who was waiting for the Lord to provide would take only three. Minutes later the owner of the dog walked in and was worried because the dog was lost. With out telling what had happened the reporter who had sold the dog stepped forward with the proposition to find the dog for three dollars. The owner said he would gladly give fifty, but the reporter who said the Lord would provide took only three. He went upstairs to the person to whom he had sold the dog. told him that he had sold some one else’s dog, gave back the three dollars and returned MR. ADAMS WRITES North Wllkesb.oi'®, January 2,^1942 Editor The Journal-Patriot: Today our papers are full of war news, and brainy men differ as to the cause and cure. Many say Hitler should be killed. Some say he la a bad man. He is a bad man, but every- man that takes the name of God in vain is a bad man and if he should d)e be fore morning he would awake in hell, where Hitler will go unless he repents. The man that gets drunk is also a bad man and according to God’s word will go to hell with Hitler. Every liar is a bad man and if allowed to die in his sins will go to hell with Hitler, and If Hitler is a sinner and should then all sinners are condemned to die and be damned. War is only sin and finished Is only death and we need not be alarmed at death. The touI that sinneth shall surely die. Then we surely have a death sentence passed on all sinners. We can atop this war in an hour if we would pay the price.
