That seems be the slogan of this World War number Pf course, we shall remember that the lese -there launched a treacherous al- ek without warning while agents of their bovemment were supposed to be negiotiat- Ing for peace in Washington. The treach- Iry of the attack which plunged this na tion into the war vill be remembered and [ivenged. '' But let us not forget why the Japanese ittack was successful. Ic was lethargy on le part of men in high positions of respon- kbility who seemingly were unable to cai- Julate what the Japs would do. It w^as »piness on the part of our army and na- officials. It was their underestimation L the strength, ability and downright nness of the enemy. While our forces were complacently do- ig nothing at Pearl Harbor, the valiant :h navy of the East Indies was already it and ready for the fighting to begin, enral Douglas MacArthur’s forces in the ;>pine8 were on the alert. The Japs [id^not pull a Pearl Harbor success there. .These are things we should remember ig with the Japanese treachery. We id remember that we are dealing with tes which do not give a warning before bite and the only remedy is to be on i alert at all times, regardless of where . y-may be or where we think the enemy be. This s^te of being alert should [>ly to all civilians as well as the armed It will take an alert citizenship as 1 alert military forces to win this war ittickly as should be»won.

But it ap pears that (Mie matter quite important to this community and to this entire section has been crowded out.; We, are referring, of course, to the mat ter of opening up the State-owned lime rock properties in Yadkin county, to make available to the fanners of this section the soil-conditioner which is so essential, and which now they are having to transport considerable distances at equal considera ble costs.

'Write or too if"' United States (the two countries are at war—In case you haven't heard it) Disregarding that fact, we discount any story which would put a reel American In the light of deliberately giving hla mother something extra to worry about. Knowing by reporte how Jap anese have treated Chinese prls- onrrs. we say that the Japs are mean enough for almost anything. But It will be likely in progress of the war that some (we hope not many) more Americans will become prisoners and for the benefit of their relatives we are glad to point out the flaws In the above quoted rumor. WHO MAKES RUMORS? Rumors float around here Mk& highway commissioner 6f this district that. Governor J. M.

Corporal John J. Duffy, 21, of Philadelphia, engineer member of the fwln-englned aircraft’s crew, said the submarine "evi dently didn't expect anybody out bn such a bad day. and was try^ ing to make speed on the sur face.’”' ' 0 verge of voting on the repealer.

Within the next few days I will open a brick storage wuvhousc *at a convenient location, for storage of . . . highway officials to investigate immediate ly the feasibility’’ of starting such opera tions. It would seem that more than three months is stretching the term “immediate ly” right considerable, particularly when the matter had beer ffiven serious consid erM^dniwjfore, by othsr highway officials and chemists whose analyses of the rock deposists on the property convinced that the products available there are suitable for road construction as well as for farm soil fertilization and improvement. Once before, under another administra tion, the farmers of this section were pep ped up by what they considered dependa ble news that thi.s lime deposit would be developed and made available to them. It didn't eventuate. It is the considered opinion of outstand ing business men here that this project is practical, and that as a result of its de- right. started. The rumor factory here must be working four eight hour shifts per day^fbr eight or nine daya per week. On Saturday afternoon we went in the capacity ot a repor ter to the hospital to check the «tory of JA? map who, waa fUV bed te the neck near tenth street. There wfe got a direct report from the surgeon who dressed his wound that he was doing all right and that he would recover if no complications arose. We went direc’ly from the hos pital to a point near the scene of the stabbing. There two men were discussing the altercation and one of them said that Carl ton was stabbed and had died. Erroneously thinking that- our. correct information might be appreciated we opened -our mouth and put our foot in it by saying that Carlton was not dead and would perhaps get along all tnnities afforded you when air raid sirens .sound the warning of attack. 1. e.—(a) If in a bakery, grab some pie or cake; ,b) It in a tavern, grab a >bottle; (c) It in a moyie, grab a blonde. (3) If an Incendiary bomb is found burning in a building throw gasoline on It—‘(you can’t put it out anyhow so yon might aa -welt have a litUe tual$. If no gaaoHne Is available, throw a bucket on'It, and lie down— you’re dead. (4) Always get excited and hol ler bloody murdeiy (It will add to the confusion and scare the mischief out of the kids). (5) Knock the air raid ‘har dens down if they start' to tell you what to do. (They always save the beet seats for themsel ves and their friends anyway). HOUSEHOLD FURNISHINGS and kindrad lines. No exploeivea, inflamma bles, or materials that will damage other propertv, will be accepted. RATES REASONABLE William F.

Somebody said we had under estimated the Japs. It would be disappointing to find onb they can count. ' , this propeHy to remain unproductfve it ought to be put to work. This pap^r thinks that those who are in terested themselves in the matter ought to be told something definite, one way or the other. If the decision is to be an adverse one, we think they are due to be told why. True there may be some obstacles in the way of opening up this project at this time —^yet what time could be more important to the farmers than the period imme diately ahe^d, when they will be called on to produce, produce, produce? Limestone will greatly help them to produce, and it does seem so unfair that they must pay heavy transportation costs, when what th^ need is right here at their backdoor, benefitting nobody under the sun. Our people don’t want to'seem impa tient, Governor, but they’d tremendously like to know what is the State’s decision about this important matter. A decision, yes or, no, bolstered by reasonable reasons, .would remove much speculation that may or may not be unjust. an immedlzte Inyoffi^iiitiQii ^ wefeeljthat yon yrill be as aaxiow ^t of us to receive a report ftoni the highway^o^icials.
