MONDAY, JULY 13, 1942 The State Guard North Wilkesboro is fortunate in being one of the towns in North Carolina with a company of the State Guard, which is now a part of the army during the war. We do not know how badly the services of the guard company will be needed dur ing the emergency. We do know that we have a good company here and that Cap tain Harry Pearson and other officers, to gether with all the men of the company, are to be congratulated on their record since the company was organized. The company served well during the forest fire emergency earlier this year and it may be that before the end of the wah the com pany will have very important tasks to perform. Now the ranks of the company here have been thinned by men going into the armed services of our country and the com pany needs some recruits. There are many ■ good men here yet who do not expect to be called into service in the near future and some of them could render a good service by joining the state guard compa ny. In addition to representing an opportu nity for service, the company provides some training which should be very valu able to each member. Redluction Helpful Action of the North Wilkesboro board of commissioners in lowering the tax rate for the town from $1.15 to $1.10 should be appreciated by the local tax paying pub lic. The town’s financial condition is in splendid shape with no past due obliga tions. It has an enviable record in munici pal finance and through the depre.s.sion and other trying years never defaulted on payments due. The town debt has been steadily re duced, making it po.ssible to make interest and principal payments with lower tax levies. The tax rate reduction is in line with the reque.st of the federal government that levie.s be held as low as possible. Lower local taxes release more money to be paid in federal taxes to finance the war and to buy war bonds and stamp.s. The one big objective of all Americans now is to win the war. Whatever helps win the war is a step in the right direction. Without victory for our cause civilization would be destroyed. The better things of life would be wiped away. With victory we can once again turn our attention to progress along lines which build rather than destroy. $1,000,000,000 A Month! Even in these days; $1,000,000,000 is a Jot of money. One billion a month is a lar ger sum than the human mind can visua lize But the people of America must buy a minimum of $1,000,000,000 a month worth of War Stamps and Bonds so Iqiig as the war lasts.

St. Peter’s first drive was right up to the cup for hole in one. St. Thomas, brandishing his celestial club, stepped up to the tee and drove a hole in one, too. "All right, said St. Peter, rubbing his hands together, “now let’s cut out the miracles and get down to work.’’ We in America had half expected that we would begin to achieve miraculous vic tories immediately on entering the war. We believed that Uncle Sam had a magic wand and he would wave, and lo! our ene mies would yell for mercy. We are recognizing at last that we must cut out waiting for miracles and get down to work. Work, after all, is the true mira cle. It is the miracle that will save Ameri ca. The miracle of work will turn out a bomber an hour. The miracle of work will turn out ships months ahead of schedule. The miracle of work will win the produc tion battle. And we can all join in working miracles, through the miracle of work! ed'girl wio did-differ ent. . . ■ -’,-%■■■ Un.

ISENHOUR, Hiddvnite, N. C. FROM HEBK AND THERE The salesman who sold a dls- satisfied lady a lamp answered her complaint oe.Il and asked what was wrong with It. Her reply: "Well, it has all the faults of my husband and none of his virtues. It has a good deal of brass about It, it is not remarkably brilltoJit. requires raucn attention, flares up occasionally, is always out at bedtime and is bound to smoke”. An optimist .is the man who plants e garden and then imme diately throws away his wife’s can opener. BEFORE YOU ARE TWENTY-ONE What one accomplishes in life, and what one makes of himself, depends largely up on the habits he forms, the course he pur sues, the aims he has, the plans and pur poses he settles upon, the company he keeps, the books he reads, the attitude he takes toward God and the Bible, or toward evil and sin, what he .studies and how he studies, and what he sincerely desires, be fore he is twenty-one. The period of childhood and the teen age period of life aln\ost determine what one’s life shall be afterwards. Perhaps not in every case, and not in every particular, but in a large measure, indeed. This is the time of life when one is laying a foundation upon which to build, and forming habits that shall follow him through life, hence the vital importance of laying a good foun dation and forming good habits. How we would like to impress this vital truth upon the hearts and minds of our youthful readers! The other day, I came across an article entitled, “Things Needful To Know Be fore I Am Twenty-One,” which I am pass ing on to you, hoping and praying that it may prove a blessing to many a youfih. I would suggest that you read it, and then put it in your scrap-book, or Bible, or carry it on your person, or put it somewhere s«) you can see it quite often. Remember, this is* needful for you to know before you are twenty-one. Here is the article: “What I am going to do for a living, and what my life work shall be. That my health after thirty depends in a large de gree on what I eat before T am twenty-one How to take care of money. The commer cial asset on being neatly and sensibly dressed. That a man’s habits are hard to change after he is twenty-one. That a har vest depends on the seeds sown. That things worth while require patience, time science of intelligent, appealing promotion. — - Among those veterans is the retail indus-. ^Q^k. That you cannot get something try. This July, tens of thousands of re-, for nothing. That the world would give me toilers, dealing in consumer goods of eve- I deserved. That by the TV-kind, are doing everything in their pow- -«r to impress constantly upon all of us the need for buying War Bonds and Stomps to the maximum of our ability, and they will keep that campaign going for the dura- ^^A release by the Institute of Distribution, which represents national retail distribu- tora operating 16,000 outlets, gives an idea of the magnitude of the effort. These dis tributors alone have 185 miles of windows irrnnrd to popularize Bonds and Stamps, ^^have i&tructed their 500,000 em- to push and sell Stomps. They use sweat of my face I earn my bread. That honesty is the best policy, not only in deal ing with my neighbors, but also in dealing with myself and God. The value of abso lute truthfulness in everything. The vital importance of obedience to parents and to God. That ‘Dad’ wasn’t an old fogy, after all.” In conclusion, what we are endeavoring to say here is, that the first twenty-one yeax's of one’s life just about determines what he will accomplish, what he will make of himself, and what he. will amount to, end whethef he succeeds or fails.

"Praise His Name”, etc., ' would be appropriate, but If all the ex pressions were used by some be fore her to think of something else. Mrs. McKee was at the baptiz ing and it happened that her col ored gli-1 employee was the last to he baptised, and all the ex pressions suggested had been said by those who had gone into the water before her. Mrs. McKee was anxious to hear what the colored girl would say. She slapped her hands and qx- clakned, “CHRISTMAS GIFT”. WHOSE VICTORY?
