THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1942 Valuable Service Offer of the home demonstration club women in the county to register people for sugar at schools during the gasoline regis tration July 9, 10, 11, represents one of the finest acts of patriotism shown locally dur ing the national crisis. The method of receiving applications only in the two towns has not been satis factory. In the first place, there are too many in the county who are eligible for canning sugar to be handled at two points in a limited period of time. And with the gasoline and tire situation as it is, it is not the right thing to do to make it necessary for everybody to get to towm to make the application for canning sugar. The home demonstration club women and Mi.ss Annie Laurie Herring, the home 'demonstration agent, desen^e thanks and commendation from the public for the ser vice they v\ill render in registering people for canning sug:r. And we would not forget to commend highly the volunteers who have worked on the sugar registration in North V/ilkes- boro and Wilkesboro. Making out the ap plication is a trying job, one that requires patience and persistence. The ladies have done a good job under trying conditions and we are happy to add our word of commendation. T Independence Day ,,.. On Saturday, July 4th, we shall observe the 166th anniversary of American inde pendence. On that date 166 years ago a band of patriots gathered and declared the colo nies free and independent. That wa.-. the true beginning oi our liberty. The men who signed that declaration knew that if their cause was lost in the struggle ahead they would be hanged h\ authorities of their mother country. But they held certain truths to be self- evident. One of which, in effect, was that life without liberty is not worth .so much and that they were willing to pledge their lives and fortunes for the cause of free dom. Regardle.ss of what you think about d. America today face.s its gravest dangei.s since that beginning as a free nation. ou who considered Inis struggle just another war which we were to win because we al ways had won have been rudely awaken ed by the reverses to the Allied Nation.s forces to date. Yes, we will win. Not becau.se we have alway.s won, but because the American people will once more awaken to the fact that life without liberty Is a hollow and empty existence not worth the price of slavery and .subordination to .semi-civilized barbarians who seek to sudbue the world under the cruel heel of force. Judge Johnson J. Hayes in a recent ad dress quoted a former German applying for American citizen.siiip as saying that this country is the one remaining spot on this earth left for decent living' ' We who have always been privileged with the decency of The United States as a nation and a place of opportunity and freedom take it too much for granted. With our national existence seriously threatened, it becomes the number one du ty of every person, man, woman, boy or girl, to serve his country in whatever capa city he or .she can. Nothing less than all out effort will de feat our enemies. We must go all the way or become another “has been” like France, Poland and the smaller nations who have fallen with “too little and too late.” Nothing short of Complete victory over the axis powers can settle the world con ditions of today. Let us not lull ourselves into complacency with the idea that if our allies fail that we can go ahead and deal with the remainder of the world; dOiiyBatj ed by Hitler,,' Mussolini and Hirochitb' That would be impossible. ; ~ You can’t do business with them. You can^ live in freedom and in successful pur suit of happiness on the same globe which they inhabit. They and all they stand for .must be exterminated. On July 4th let us rededicate ourselve.s anew to the cause of freedom fm^he peo ples of the earth, for decenc3^nd for Christianity for the human race. And let us see the situation in its true light and put first things first. The first requisite to progress of civilization is vic tory for the Allied Nations. Without victory over the axis we can have nothing. With the axis powers exterminated in much the same manner as we would ex terminate rats and insects, the liberty lov ing people of the world can once again turn their attention to progress in the bet ter things of life.
