Salute To Our Heroes
' It is appropriate that the month of Sep-
tember has been designated as “Salute To
Pur Heroes” month.
' The government is asking the people of
IBie nation to buy one billion dollars worth
•Of war bonds during the month.
And the people are reminded that pur
chase of the bonds is one of the things they
can do at home to provide our fighting
men—our heroes—v'ith what they must
have to attain victor}".
It is one of the principal ways in which
we can support the allied cause in this
^^reat struggle against the forces which
represent the opposite from our way of
life.
It should be a great morale builder for
the men in the armed forces to receive
cards from their friends and relatives, say
ing that they had purchased bonds and
were thinking of them when they made the
purchase.
That is one of the best ways of letting
the fighting men know that we are back
ing them, and that the people back home
are worth fighting for.
Let us let them know that the home
1 front is solidly against the axis, that we
^ are furnishing our troops and our men on
the seas with what they need to blast the
axis powers to where they belong.
On Tuesday “Salute To Our Heroes”
'month will be ushered in here with a suit
able celebration. A batter.v of field ar
tillery from Fort Bragg will be here for a
parade. These men, who perhaps are soon
to see action against the enemy on one of
the many fronts, should remind us of our
duty to buy stamps and bonds and thus
aupport them as they fight for all of us.
On Tuesday night a gala event is
planned, to include a street dance on Main
street. .At nine o’clock we are asked to
give three rousing cheers for our fighting
forces.
Regardle.ss of what we have been doinp
in the way of buying bonds and stamps, let
us do some sacrificing and buy more in
September.
Those who have not purchased any
bonds to date should no longer neglect
this great, patriotic duty. .
Newspaper’s Helpfulness
The Union county rationing board pa.ss-
d a resolution asking the people to sub-
cribe to a home newspaper.
Your hometown newspaper is your best
leans of reliable information.
The rationing busine.ss has come home
0 every person. No one escapes war time
ationing and almo.st every week there is
iiformation about rationing that every per-
on should know in order that the people
nay get what they are entitled to and may
lot violate the regulations.
The same may be said of selective ser-
■ice and other war time agencies.
It has been our duty and privilege to
ry to keep the people correctly and
iromptly informed.
But we have not been able to do any-
;hing for the few ivho think they know it
ill anyway and do not need a paper for
nformation.
A Nation’^ Builders
Not gold, but only men can make
A people great and strong
Men who, for truth and honor’s sake,
Stand fast and suffer Ipng.
Brave men, who work while others sleep,
who dare while others fly—
They build a nation’s pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.

THE WfSDOirOF SOLOMON
(Chicago Sun) b , ■
There’s one gentlemen in the United
States to whom the American victory In
the Solomon Islands^pening the way to
vastly greater victories—means nothing.
He is Senator Robert R, Reynolds of North
Carolina, chairman of the senate com
mittee on military affairs.
“What we want to see,” says Senator
Reynolds, “are big headlines about the
capture of the Philippines and the Aleu-
tion%—our own territory. We don’t care a
shap about the invasion of some little Solo-
man island which is only two miles long
and which never belonged to us in the
first place.^'’
It may be possible, by careful thought,
to name members of the upper house nf
congress who fail to outshine Senator Rey
nolds in brilliance of intellect. If you in

LIFE’S BETTER WAY

trouble, trouble, TROUBLE!
This is a day of great trouble. It i.s
trouble in the home,, trouble in the church,
trouble in the school. It is a day of nati
onal trouble, and a day of international
trouble. Surely the devil is having his day,
but it won’t always last. Hallelujth! The
time is coming when the devil, the great
trouble-maker on earth, will be bound and
cast into the pit, then peace will reign on
the earth.
People write me continually of their
troubles. Just this week a woman wrote
and told of the trouble she is in over the
fact that her husband had left her for ano
ther woman. Such as this is happening
continually. It is too bad. It breaks up
homes, grieves husbands and wives, and
sends forth many precious children into
the world homeless. A dear man wrote
and told me of the trouble he is in. His
wife lost her mind, is in the insane asylum,
and he has a family of children to take
care of. He is poor and needy. God bless
thi.s dear man. May he give his heart,
soul and life to the Master and tru.st Him
to see him through- Such stories of
trouble 'bring us to our knees in behalf of
suffering humanity.
The homes of our people are in trouble
all over America today on account of the
dreadful war we are in. So many of our
dear sons are leaving for the tiaining
camps, and shall be leaving, while tens of
thousands are going into foreign countries
to fight, many of whom will never return.
Ye.s, this is a day of trouble. Sickness, dis
couragements and .so many things bring
trouble. Our hospitals are full, our insane
a.sylumns are full, our prisons are full. Hu
man ills are in evidence everywhere. It is
broken lives, broken homes, broken
churches, broken neighborhoods and brok
en nations. Trouble, trouble, trouble!
Surely this ought to be the means of
bringing millions to Christ, the great and
marvelous Prince of Peace. We find sweet
peace and joy only in Him. He can help us
through th^ hard and trying places of
life. He can turn many of our sorrows in
to j‘oy, and many of our disappointments
into His appointments. He can lift up our
drooping hearts, souls and spirits and
bring sunshine to our faces. Amen, Let
our readers seek Kim. T*his is life s bet
