First Aid Valuable
The failure, on the part of a large num
ber to register for first aid courses as a ci
vilian defense measure is disappointing.
Every person who is supposed to have
reasonable intelligence should have know
ledge of first aid methods in case of acci
dents and other emergencies when human
Jife hangs in the balance.
A few days ago there was an instance
here which showed the value of first aid.
Charlie Carlton received a slash on his
throat right here in North Wilkesboro. He
walked two blocks while blood streamed
from his jugular vein, which was partly
cut.
During that time a crowd of curiosity-
loving onlookers gathered to gaze while
his life’s blood went out in spouts and none
of them did anything because they did not
know what to do or did not have the nerve
to go ahead and do it.
Bruce Pennington, a soldier who.se home
is in Mountain City, Tennessee, who had
been given first aid training, walked
through the crowd and .soon had the .situa
tion well in hand. He placed his fingers
on the man’s wounded throat in such man
ner that the flow of blood would be held i
until he reached the hospital in an ambu- [
lance. Physicians said his action saved |
Carlton’s life.
Wouldn’t you like to be able to do this?
If so, why not register at the civilian dcr
■i^anse office for the first aid classes to be
conducted here.

HOW WARS ARE WON
(Reidsville Review)
Something that every American ought to
get straight at the .start of thi.s war is that
defeating Germany, Japan and Italy is go
ing to be a man-sized job in more vva>>
than one.
There is but slender hope we can win
the complete and lasting victory which wo ^ ■
have solemnly resolv’ed to achieve without favorable war developments.
ing raids over the city
There is no indication of the
attitude of the native population
in other thea'res of war in the
Western Pacific, except that the
Japanese have been attempting
to undermine the resistanie on
tlieir part by promising a share
in tile new co-prosperity sphere.

Congress Responds
It was indeed a healthy development in
Government Thursday evening when con
gress repealed that measure which was
passed several days ago and which would
have granted congressmen and senators
pensions for life. After passing the act
While many were out of the halls of con
gress, the two lawmaking bodies became
objects of public criticism which bordered
on scorn.
Seme west coast people began collecting
“Bundles For Congress’’ as a sarcastic ges
ture. Many newspapers, practically all of
them, pointed the finger of ridicule at con
gress. Some went so far as to say that the
congressional pension grab, maneuvered
while school children were urged to save
pennies for the government’s defense
stamps, smelled—which it did.
The overwhelming vote by which the
senate repealed its own pension provision.s
«y^ks well for that august body a.nd will
somewhat diminish our contention that
* congress is the citadel of politics, petty or
otherwise.
Of course, politics can be seen in the
whole thing, passage and repeal. Mem
bers of congress thought that the people,
engrossed with thoughts of war, would
overlook the pension act. Naturally the
Republicans, definitely in the minority.
f. were against the measure because its pass
ing by the majority party would give the
minority some unparalleled campaign
thunder. After the public uprising the
l)emocrats sensed that very thing, which
^helped toward repeal by an overwhelming

wllich, we repeat for emphasis, was a very
good thing ^or the nation.

defeating the powerful Axis armies on'
their own .soil.
Somehow we seem to have formed the
opcryphal notion that all we have to do is
get our factories going at top speed, pile uo
the armaments, and wait for the Axis pow
ers to collapse of fright.
Production IS of course a mighty impor
tant phage of modern warfare. -But it isn’t
everything. Battles are still won by sol
diers, not machines. There must be a crew
of two to eight men to operate every tank
that comes off the assembly line. No plane
has military value until there are provided
.skilled fliers to take it aloft. A battleship
is a floating mountain of useless metal
without a crew of hundreds of men to
handle it. Behind every rifle and machine-
gun there must be a fighting man.
Even when all the machines of destruc
tion are ready and the men trained to use
them, men must still fight and die. They
must kill their enemies, other men, and put
them to rout. That is war.
So while we are placing the emphasis on
the production, in which we have an over
whelming advantages, let’s not overlook'
the inexorable fact that something more i.s
required to bring the peace so ardently
hoped for. Let’s remember we still have
to beat the enemy armies on battlefields of
their own choosing. Let’s remember that
we will need millions of fighting men—
courageous, fearless, spirited fighting men
—to do this.
If we remember this we will not be dis
illusioned when our production reaches top
speed and we discover peace is still far
away. Potential victory lies in our stupen
dous capacity for production, but its real
ization' can only come before the Jlaming
muzzles of American guns.
Officials are said to be consiii-
ering reducing the weekly quota
to eight ounces to meet new con
ditions caused by a shortage oi
shipping resulting from .increa
sed sinkings and diversions of
bottoms to other war duties.
We now have availa'ble a new
treatment for coccidiosis, colds,
