Scrap Campaign American steel mills need scrap metals badly in order to continue full time opera tion. The need of steel is so great that the government has not allowed even one day’s production to be used for manufac ture of rubber plants. All the available metals must go into armaments and ships. Steel mills must have a certain amount of scrap iron and steel. That is where you and I and all of us can help the war program and help make sure complete and final victory at the ear liest possible date. Each and every one of both se.xes and all ages should consider himself or herself . a committee of one to see that the .steel mills get the scrap. We have scrap dealers here and we can get the scrap metals in to them. If no transportation facilities are available, those who have substantial quantities of scrap should notify J. B. Snipes, chairman of the- county salvage committee, and he will make arrangements for the scrap to be hauled in. On your next trip to town with car or truck, put in some scrap metal. May it never be said of any battle in ■which our men are engaged that they had “too little and too late.’’ War has brofl^ new and vitally impor tant jobs to.the'retahere of this tountJ^v V The pinch of shoitages is jhst bregihninff to be felt by the bulk of consumers. Stocks of certain kinds of goods which ‘ are no longer manufactored are dwindling fast, Even in the food field, many items will dis appear. In air fields, the consumer will have a smaller -ange of choice than he has been accustomed to. So one of the retailer’s new tasks is to help the consuming public make, with as little discomfort as possible, the great ad justments in living standards resulting from war’s enormous demands on the pro ductive resources. And most retailers'^of the countrj . little ones as well as big, are cooperating to the limit of their abilities in doing that. They are featuring abun dant, reasonably-priced foods and manu factured goods. They are helping the con sumer choose suitable and satisfactory sub stitutes for scarce and costly items. They are showing how to avoid was'te, and make w-hat we buy go farther. On top of that, they are doing other work of great importance to the war ef fort. They are, for example, aggressively selling and promoting the sale of W^ar Stamps and War Bonds—at their own ex pense, and without a penny of recompense. They are cooperating with the government in fighting speculation, profiteering and hoarding. They have accepted great re sponsibilities, and they are discharging them fully. The retailers are protecting our stand ard of living to the greatest possible extent. While they can’t keep us supplied with “luxuries as usual” in these times, they are doing a real job, a vital job, in our interest. America’s Hidden Power Describing the hidden power in our democracy as the ‘■power to accomplish miracles,’’ Walter D. Fuller, Chairman of the Board of the .National A.ssociation of Manufacturers, made the following state ments in his recent address to the Nation al Education .Association: “There is hidden power in freedom of opportunity in .America the freedom to ex periment, explore, invent and adv’enture that no coddling under super-.statehood can begin to match. There is hidden power iii our freedom of press which knits the pat terns of national unity and progress through truthful information and common i understanding that no Gestapo can mar shal and that no Goebbels can destroy. There i.s hidden power in freedom of enter prise which constantly batters at the fron tiers of new products, new methods and new opportunities. “Yes, we have competed with Hitler much vaunted regimentation and in the first big battle—the battle of production Americans are giving him a licking that is making history. Our amazing production record is not alone a victory for American industry and free enterprise. It is a com bined victory made possible by the force.« of opportunity, management and labor, the press and education. It truly an American victory, the product of unified effort of all. “In this war we have demonstrated what industry and labor can do when there is a customer big enough to challenge the ability of our productive system^ We have tu^ed the wheels of industry faster and faster. We have attained the highest level of employment, of payrolls, of national in- ■ ^ome and of business activity As^^ng°as Every one should own a comfortable, bed and comfortable shoes because he’s in one or the other all his life.—Exchange. LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E. ISENHOUR, Hiddenite, N. C. FAITH IN GOD Faith in God is a wonderful thing. It means more than words can expre.ss. God always cares tor and regards those who have faith in Him, love Him, honor, obey and worship Him in spirit and truth. Praise His name. We are told in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews what faith in God did for the old patriarchs and prophets. It is well to read this marvelous chapter quite often, or memorize it and quote it frequently. It i.-= a wonderful .stimulant to our faith. Many a .soul has been saved from sin and wickedness, wreck and ruin, destruction and hell by faith in God. The devil said it wasn’t any use to call upon God, nor tru.st Him, because He wouldn’t hear nor an swer. neither would He come to our rescue, but faith said He would. We regard faith and came out victoriously. Faith may lead us into very close, hard places sometime.s, or permit us to get there for our good and God’s glory, but it will al ways load us out if wc will hold on and'*nor despair. In order to have mighty faith it must 1)0 persevering. We mn.st hold on when everything around us seems to sug gest giving up, turning loose and quitting. We are .saved from our sins through re pentance and by faith in God. We are like wise sanctified through deep consecration and by faith. And we are-kept in a con stant state of grace through prayer, obedience and faith. Oftentimes the ene my comes upon us like a flood, but when we plead the* blood of Jesus, and hold on to God by faith, we always come out victo riously. Unyielding faith never knows de feat. Faith can seemingly rise up.out of what seems defeat and take victory. Hallelujah! V7e are oftentimes healed in our bodies through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. No doubt many a man, many a woman, is liv ing today, simply through faith. The doc- . tors said they could not live, but faith said they could. They listened to faith rather than doctors and recovered.

UTTLE SCHOOL HOUto ‘ V. ith prospects for getting tires getting dimmer, H looks -like schools will be operating under ^eat difficulty by the fall of 1943: It has been suggested that schools go hack to the “little red school tfouees on the hills”. That might be feasible some where, but not in Wilkes. In the first place, the little red school houses were white, and in the second place, the lit tle red white school houses have long since been abandoned and moved out. ‘ If some of the children being transported have to walk, the distance will be so great and the time required to get to school will be so long that the children will not get to school in time to start 'track in time to get home to start back to school— If you get -what we mean, which we don’t.
