Jwiil • Patriot INDEPENDENT IN POUTICS IPubliahed Mondays and Thursdays at North Wilkeshoro, North Carolina * D. J. CAHTER and JULIUS C. HUBBARD Pablishers SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.50 Six Months -75 Four Months — -50 Out of the State $2.00 per Year . t the post boro, North Carouna, as second class matter under Act of March 4,1879. THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1942 War Financing If the nation’s sales of war bonds do not approximate one billion dollars monthly, there is a possibility that a system of com pulsory bond buying may be initiated in order to finance the war. Americans do not like compulsory meas ures. They like to do things of their own free wdll, voluntarily and without compul sion. Certain quotas have been set for every county in the nation on bond sales. The quota for Wilkes this month is $61,300. At the rate of bond buying .so far this month, the quota will not be met. It is sincerely urged that all who can buy bonds in order that the quota be raised. The government believes that the peo ple voluntarily will buy the bond.s rather than have a plan of compulsory bond buy ing. If it does become necessary to have a compulsory plan, we hope that it will be worked out equitably and that those who are benefitting financially because of the war will bear their .just share of the finan cial burden. A person not engaged in war work and whose .salary has not been increased while living co.sts have gone up finds it difficult to put ten per cent of his income into war bonds. On the other hand, the person whose in come has doubled, trebled or maybe quad rupled could put in ten to twenty per cent of his pay without .sacrifice. The person whose weekly income has risen from^ $20 to $100 weekly could inve.st half of his in come in war bonds and still have more money than he ever had before, notwith standing the increased cost of living. What Do You Believe? oppos^unily to make a living. ... I'believe that thrift is essential to well- ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business or per sonal affairs. I believe that truth and justice are fun damental to an enduring social order. I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man’s word should be as good as his bond; that character—-not wealth or pow er or position—is of supreme worth. I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul f>et free. I believe in an all-wise and all-loving God, named by whatever name, and that the individual’s highest fulfillment, great est happiness, and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with Hi.s will. I believe that love is the greatest thing m the world; that it alone can overcome hate; th.at right can and will triumph over might. , —.TOHN ai,-ROCKEFELLER, Jr. Borrowed Comment Once we heara a speaker declare. Tell me what he believes and what he Hke.s and I will tell you what he is. One of the world’.s most remarkable men is John D. Rockefeller, Jr. He happened to fall heir to what was perhaps the world’s largest individual tortune. But that alone does not con.stitute the qualities which make him today one of the world’s most remarkable characters. Coupled with the fact that he became heir to the Rockefeller millions which his illustrious fa+'ner gathered, i^ the record of his unspoiled life, which he ha.s lived much as any ordinary man with proper rearing and without great wealth. It is very interesting to know what John D Rockefeller believes, because what he believes coincides with the record of hi.s life, which has been .succe.ssful de.spite the obstacle of great wealth. It seems strange, maybe, to call great wealth an obstacle, birt in 9 out of 10 cases wealth is just that for a young man. With the opinion that Rockefeller s be liefs constitute the fundamentals of good living we are quoting here his beliefs as published recently in “Home Life” a pub lication of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Atlanta, Ga„ and which was furnished us by J. B. Williams secreta.^- treasurer of the North Wilkesboro Build ing and Loan Association: “I Believe” I believe in the supreme worth of the in dividual and in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. iLlieve that every right implies a re sponsibility; every opportunity, an obliga- ♦inn- every possession, a duty. I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law; that ^fveimment “the servant of the people and not their ^l^^eve in the dignity of labor, whether wttkhaad or hapd; ^ hoi thai GERMAN CHARACTER SHOWN (Skyland Post) ^ The Argentine government has now tasted of the German arrogance, and rela tions between the two countries probablj will be affected. Germany admits responsibility for the submarine sinking of an Argentine freight er and offers reparations, yet refuses to salute the flag as Argentina demands. The Germans say the flag salute is an ob.solete diplomatic practice and alien to the mentality of the “new Germany.” However, in World War I, the German.s knuckled under to an Argentina demand for a flag salute after a U-boat torpedoed one of her ships. The .sooner Argentina finds out Ger many is out for the complete dominance of the world, he better off our South Ameri can neighbor will be in future relation.s with the Axi.s powers. Hitler definitely has his eye on getting complete control of all countries to the south of us and it is high time for Argen tina to stop blocking South American soli darity against the Axis. The Allies need their help now! f THUR!»AYr JUtY~aS» WSmm Abiuriittes By DWIGHT NICHOLS, et «1. SOMETHING SHOULD BE done about it Often we have passed WPA crewa at "work and looked tvlth much curiosity at the dlnkuses from which they get drinking water. Last week we had an opportu nity to “'•tlsty our unjustified cu riosity *>ii.{:ut how the things work: and r.ow we report that something onght to be done about It. The water b stored in a little oblong tank, which may be car ried from place to place. On, top of the tank is a drinking fountain. The awful thing about it is that In order to get water to squirt out of the fountain, some one must work a pump handle an and down. Just think of all the labor that requires! By first hand information we found that it requires about ten pounds pressure on the pump handle to work it with an up and down motion in order to get the pressure inside the tank up to where it will force water up through the fountain. We would suggest ^hat in or der to eliminate this physical labor that an electric motor be attached. And that idea of carrying the tank, fountain and all. is simply preposterous. When full of water it has a weight of 20 odd pounds or more. If they can’t have a limousine to carry it around, maybe they could use an ordinary car. Anyway. those interes’ed should write their congressman.

Dr. Herman Powell Gets Commission Few People Ever Suffered More From Sour Indiges tion; Headaches and C>n- 'stipation, Declares Civic Leader. Tells About His Case. Declaring that Retonga relieved lim of two years suffering jHter -verything else he tried had failed, Mr. L H. Inman, prominent far mer and civic leader of Route 1 Julian, N. C., comes forward to add his name to the hundreds of public endorsements this famous siomaclrte medicine combined with Vitamin B-1 is receiving through out this state: ‘‘I feel that thousands of people right here in North Carolina need Retonga like I did,” declares Mr. Inman. “Few people ever suffer more tortures from nervous indi gestion, constipation, and sick headaches that I did. The hend- aches would last for days at a time, and I could not wish an ene my such misery. I had to take strong laxatives nearly every day. 1 suffered so much from sour, gas sy indigestion that I left off eat ing supper rather than suffer as I did. and I felt a'most f-nmnleteh- disrouiaged. I “Ketonga relieved *me so I can hardly realize I am the same per- json. I eat anvt ing, I sleep fine, I and I wake up ready for a hearty breakfast and a full day’s work on my farm. In my case Retonga 'would have been cheap at $10 a bottle.” Accept no substitute. Retonga may be obtained in North Wilkes boro at Horton’s Dioig Store, and in Wilkesboro ;it .Newton’s Drug Store. —Adv. As First Lieutenant Ga.soline rationing already has had one good result, reduction of highway acci dents. Together with that there is a gen eral lowering of speed limits, some of it due to fear of the new penalties but also on account of the need for conserving fuel and rubber. * Mountain View Home Club Meets LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E. ISENHOUR, Hidd«nite, N. C. t SENDING FORTH GOSPEL TRUTH \vhen you’re sending forth a message That is full of Go.spel truth For the parent;# and the children, ^ For the age(f'‘and the youth, ' Only God, our precious Father, Knows how much, it may be worth To the toiling Christian pilgrim And the dreary of the earth. It may lift some heavy burden From a soul that’s in despair. Or inspire some fainting Christian To uplift his heart in prayer, .And take courage for the Master, Then go forth to do his best, Knowing his reward is waiting— Life eternal, peace and rest. It may be a wondrous'blessing As the years go passing by— Maybe when you’ve crossed the portal To the homeland in the sky, Helping pilgrims bear their crosses. Stand for God and truth and right. And to walk the path of duty As a burning, shining light. When you’re giving truth untarnished To a lost and dying world. As you write and speak for Jesus ’Neath His banner bright unfurled, It may enter homes by thousands Up and down this sinful earth, Going into nooks and corners, Bringing souls to Christian birth. So it’s great to give a message That is full of Christian love, That may warn the wayward sinner, Pointing him to God above; That may lift the clouds of trouule From the gloomy, sad and lone. And help men and women upward To ovr great Redeemer’s tiirone. The July meeting of the Moun tain View home demonstration club was held at the home of Mrs. P. C. Johnson. The business iwirt of the meet ing was presided over by Mrs. Claude Johnson , vice president, the president being r.way for the summer.
