C., as second class matter under Act •f March 4, 1879. MONDAY, JUNE 29, 1942 MacArthur, The Man June 21 was Father’s day and General Douglas MacArthur was selected by the Father’s Day committee as the “first father of 1942”. In a cabled message to the committee General MacArthur said; “I an\ a soldier and take pride in the fact, but I am prouder, infinitely prouder, to be a father. “A soldier destroys in order to build. The father builds, never destroys- The one has the potentialities of death, the other embodies creation and life and while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still.” Thus we gain some insight into the noble mind of one of the world’s most able mili tary leaders. Courageous and fearless in war. General MacArthur also ha.s the ster ling qualities of character which make it all the more appropriate that his leader ship be used to the fullest extent, not only in war, but in the peace to follow. On father’s Day General MacArthur somewhere in -Australia said he preferred to be remembered by his son “not from battle, but at home repeating our simple, daily prayers”. Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito and the oth er war lords who seek to rule the world by force are too shallow in mind to (Under stand the greater things of life. On Rubber Almo.st every day we read or hear some thing to make the rubber situation more confusing. About the only thing one can be certain about is that there will be no more tires for the average motorist for years to come and every person .shoulil take the great'e.st possible care of tires and to conserve them to the utmost. Senator Gillette, of Iowa, recently went on the warpath in Washington relative to the manufacture of a certain type of syn thetic rubber which he said can be made from farm products. We quote Senator Gillette: “Rubber from farm crops can be pro duced at reasonable costs, needs less prec ious materia's for plant construction, and most vitally important, we can produce tires in eight months from the time plant construction^is authorized. “We "lave already lest four months since this committee developed these facts. “It is criminal to wa.ste more precious time. “It is shameful to have this program stalled by anyone thinking of post- war competition in the rubber and alcohol in dustries- “Lost time means lo.ss of lives, prolong ing the war and tremendous loss to our en tire city and farm people in every walk of life.” If there are any grounds to his charges, some investigatipg should be done at once. If industrial greed is standing in the w^ay of rubber production, or if political maneu vering is blocking the way, .steps should be taken to dear the path at once. Borrowed Conunent interesting figures (Elkin Tribune) We don’t propose to but in on a neigh- ar’s business affairs, and certainly we ouldn’t cause any family strife, but Tom oat’s habit of digging around in North arolina liquor *statistics reveals our neigh- OT Wilkes in a light that causes us to won- er how Wilkes gets that way. According to Mr. Bost, the May 1941 auor sales in “wet” counties amounted > $730,268.10, while in May 1942 the ime ABC counties sold a total of $1,247,- J3.45 worth of liquor, some of which in crease is represented in increased,taxes, but still leaving a substantial increase. ^ But getting back to Wilkes, which is Sup posed to be “dry”. According to the fig-^ ures of Mr. Bost Wilkes bought from, one Maryland supply house 18,000 gallons of liquor, thus'becoming a bigger distributor ^ than the biggest of the counties in which 'the sale of liquor has been legaliiied and “controlled” by the ABC set-up.

Reavis^'and Andrews mount, one must conclude that the vendors in neighboring Wilkes have good solid customers who can be counted as perman ent, and that the list is growing satisfacto rily. Nor should it be forgotten that Wilkes has a reputation for home production of liquor that can’t be sneezed at. Add the imports to the home crop and you have more liquor than Wilkes could possiblv consume. So what? Well, one can only sur mise that somebody in Wilkes is smart enough to profit by the thirstiness of citi zens in adjoining counties. And just as surely as this huge business couldn’t pro gress without law enforcement officers knowing something about it. We hold to our first statement that we are not butting in on a neighbor’s business affairs, but we’d love to know how Wilkes gets that way. Just curiosity, too, for we have no purpose to muscle in on +he racket, either as an individual or in the name of our county. » The figures are intere.sting, but, as Tom Bost says “it would be a courageous thing for all of us to do if we could forget for the moment such futilities as ‘control’ and ‘prohibition’ and recognize the one appal ling fact—the magnitude of liquor drink ing in ABC and “dry” counties. itery while their team piled up a 4 to 1 in one of the fastest games of the season. They had been tied with the North Wiikesboro TMethodlats since Tuesday. Warner Miller, Jr., turned in ft good pitching performance to hold the Wiikesboro Baptists to few scattered bingles, and Dam- schroder was the receiving erid of the winning battery. Louis Irwin and Joe Linney composed the Wiikesboro Baptists’ battery. In North Wilkeeboro the First Baptists broke into the win col umn in a big way with an i8 to big margin in the score, G.

PCT 800 750 400 400 250 Mihailovitch’s 200,000 Patriots Battle Axis We fear that altogether too much alco hol is killing people before it is mad© into explosives. Alcohol is needed to make ex plosives to kill German.s, Japs and Italian.^, and should not be used by Americans in liquid form to .shorten their own lives. The government can do the nation and its peo ple a great service by cutting out use of su gar for making alcoholic drinks and mak ing it into explosives instead. LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E. ISENFOUR, Hidd«nite, N. C. TAKING GOOD ADVICE It is one thing to give good advice, but it is quite another thing to take it. No doubt there are tens of thousands of young people today who have had the best of ad vice from their parents, and maybe from their teachers, and have fheard It from godly ministers, but they have refused to hoed it. They set it aside, reject it, many (German Cairo, Egypt.—Full scale war fare Is now going on in the hills and valleys of central and west ern Serbia, where 200,000 guer illa fighters under General Draja Mihailovitch are battling a half a million Axis troops. As Hitler launches all-out of fensives against Russia to force a quick decision this year, the presence of Jugoslav guerilla ar mies on his flank has created a dangerous third front, with the result that he has ordered 90,- 000 Germans, 300,000 Italians, and an undetermined number of Bulgarians to wipe them out. To day battles are raging In all parta of Jugoslavia. With the assistance of the Chet- niks, Serb patriot society, and the able leadership of General Mi- haiovitch who organized the rem nants of the Jugoslav army shat tered in the German blitz of Ap ril, 1941, the guerilla army last autumn recaptured some 20,000 square miles of Jugoslav territo ry. Through last fall and winter, five divisions of Axis troops :..U’ ched three major expeditions to crush Serb resistance, but all of them failed. Thus badly-need ed reserves were kept from the Russian and Libyan fronts. Moreover. Mihailovttch’s guer rilla army has actually been strengthened with volunteers; Greeks escaping across the btir- der.

The advice we took from parents, teachers, friends, loved ones and preachers of the Go.spel, has meant *the salvation of our lives and souls, and our success across the years of time. Tho.se who want their own way, and will not listen, have to suffer the con.sequences. The suffering comes in different ways. Many lose their health as a consequence, never to have it restored- They must go the remainder of their days handicapped, and as sufferers on account of their folly. This is absolutely true.

It can’t be other- No one ever regrets taking good advice, but millions have regretted the faet that they refused it- In refusing advice that is good, and turning it down, one may be come a drunkard, a gambler, a thief, a criminal, a rogue and a rascal. He may become a wretch. His careei; may be cut short by his own lustful, wicked indulgen ces. This is indeed possible. The right kind of advice is ennobling. It saves one’s name and character, his life from wreck and! ruin, and perhaps his soul from hell. You might ask multitudes why they are miserable, and why they have wasted life, and if they would tell the truth they could say it is because they fail ed to take good advice, and to accept Christ.

SNIPES, County A|;pnt Every farmer with livestock should have some temporal^ grazing for his animals In case his permanent pasture fails to furnish sufficient grazing. In caso the temporary grazing Is not needed it can be used later for hay. Two bushels of soybeans broadcasted per acre should give a good stand. Tokio and Biloxi are good! varieties for grazing. It is best to sow the beans In two separate fields, in order that the beans in one field will have time to grow up while the animals are grazing in the other field. The first grazing should be started when the beans reach about one toot in height and if alternate grazing is practiced they will furnish feed until frost. | Sudan grass is another good i crop, which can be used for tein-1 porary grazing; 25 pounds of j seed broadcast per acre» should give r good stand. Sudan grass can he grazed uhtil September, but it becomes poisonous in the fall and therefore is not suitable tor grazing. It is safe for feed if cured for hay. Therefore it should be allowed to grow up after September*and be cut for hay. wMomreaned' from onr 22; 1942, our friend and nelglibor, Mrs. F. A. Keith. The (Passing..of Mre.
