Many of our best young men are mem bers of the valiant marine forces which have been fighting the Japanese on the Solomon Islands. We personally know of a number of our Wilkes men who are in those units. It is significant that several Wilkes men were in the first offensive action of Amer ican forces in this war. And we know, regardless of the news which comes from the Solomons, tnat the Wilkes men there are upholding the best traditions of Wilkes, the county which played such a big part in gaining freedom and done so much to preserve it through out the history of our country’. Excellent Work Wilkes county made an excellent record in the sale of war bonds for the month of September. In the county a total of $153,600 in gov ernment bonds was purchased during the month. The county quota on war bonds was $50,600, less than one-third of the amount of securities .sold. September was “Salute to Our Heroes’’ month. The theatres led the drive and are to be congratulated for the impetus they gave to the war bond cause during the month. The national quota was exceeded during the month by a substantial margin, but it would have trebled if all the nation had 'done as well as North Wiikc.sboro ami the countv of Wilkes. Worker and Farmer In the long run, public pressure will force the adoption .of a real anti-inflation program. And that program will involve strict ceilings on the wages of labor as well as the profits of indu.stry and the income of farmers. There has been much sensele.ss talk about farm prices being primarily respon sible /for the high cost of living. Farmers are not asking for favored treatment. They are asking, instead, for eqbitable treatment. They an; pointing ^mt that the farmer can’t be made the goat /in the fight against inflation. If the prices / he receives are to be limited and perhaps ^ reduced, the wages received by labor must be given the same treatment. There is far less “excess purchasing pow er” on the farm than in labor circles. The greatest pressure in favor of inflation to day is the billions of dollars in record wages which labor is receiving in war in dustries. And all the argument in the w'orld can’t offset that fact. Forest Fires Is Sabotage Deliberate setting of forest fires is sabo tage. That information is contained in the fol lowing communication from Major Wil liam Bryden, commanding general of the fourth service comrhand: “Sabotage is the wrongful damaging or destruction of any material or supply deemed suitable for the use of the United States or its allies in carrying on the war. “Lumber (including standing timber) is considered one of these suitable materials, and accordingly must be preserved against any action that might lead to its loss to the United States or the allied na tions. “All persons are urged to exercise gi-eat caution that they do not cause or tolerate fires which may damage or destroy our forests. “Warning is hereby issued that any per son who wilfully injures or destroys, or at tempts to injure or destroy, war material __ WAIT nteans,'with inteat tb interfere' forts of the Ufiited Stated or its alli^ canyiAg on the wax, or with 'reasons to lieve that this action may do so, is liable to prose(^tion under the Federal Sabotage Act (50 U.^. Co'de, sections 101-106), and if convicted under such act is subject to a fine of up to ten thousand dollars or im prisonment up to thirty years, or both.' m 9r m rttUng m»d w ent m* Health At Home Our ability to wage war is determined by our ability to produce the instruments of war. And that, in the long run, will be largely determined by the health of the ci vilian population. Maximum war effort involves many un avoidable health hazards. Men and wom en are working harder and longer, and at jobs to which they are not accustomed. Millions of people are* leaving homes and offices and factories. Unless the fullest possible protection is given their health, an impairment of war production due to fa tigue will occur. And fatigue paves the way for dreaded diseases, such as tubercu losis. American medicine is devoting much of its energies to this problem. And the doc tors are giving advice which all should follow. Proper food and proper rest are Number One essentials. If any real phys ical maladjustment puts in an appearance,* consult a physician. Don’t take it for granted that nature will take care of you —and don’t pin your faith on patent med icines and quack remedies. Keeping well is in itself a contribution to the war. Remember that good health at home is as important as good health on the fighting fronts. The citizen who need lessly dissipates his energies off the job is a potential danger to the nation. It ft always IntereatiDg to read letters from men In the service, hut we have received one which heats to a frassle anything you ever read before. Maybe the boys age 18 and. 19 will get some fore^ht into army life from the letter. Without using any names, we ■are reproducing the letter in full as follows: Buenos Aires meteorologist says the sun has an eruptive fever. We knew it was running a temperature.—Miami Herald. The Great Lakes “Hoodoo Ship”, wrecked tanker J. Oswald Boyd, has gone to scrap. LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E. ISENHOUR, Hiddenite, N. C. WHAT ABOUT YOUR SOUL? You know you have eyes, because you can see; you know you have ears, because you can hear; you know you have a nose, because yop can smell; you know you have a tongue, because you can taste; and you know you have hands, becau.se you can feel. These are the five senses. But what about your .soul’? You can’t see it; you can’t hear it; you can’t smell it; you can’t ta.«te it; you can’t feel it. However, theiv is a sense in which the .soul reveals itself to us in our .senses; and certainly the .soul lakes four of the five senses with it when it leave.s this world, if not the five senses. Read the story of Dives. He saw Lazarus afar off in Abraham’s bo.so'm; he called to Abraham and heard him speak; he asked for water, which revealed the fact that he could taste; he felt the torments of hell, and maybe he could smell the flames cf torment. No doubt the redeemed soul in the glory world can see the beauties, heai the melodies, taste the bliss and water of eternal life, feel th^ peace and eternal joy of heaven, and maybe smell the fragrance. Glory to God. This is true in spite of ath eists and infidels. However, God declares in His holy Word that we have a soui. Jesus asked the solemn question: “For what shall it prbfit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lo.se his own soul?” (Mark 8:36). The finst account of the soul is found in Genesis 2:7: “And the Lord God formed man of the du.st of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became ^ living soul.” Ac cording to the Word of God the soul of man .shall exist forever, either in heaven o hell, according to how we live and die. If we live for God faithfully and truly, aftai accepting Jesus as our Savior, and bein' cleansed through His precious blood, and die in that condition, then heaven will b- our home. If we serve the devil and live in sin, and die like that, then hell will be our portion. What about your soul? Ai‘c you treating it as you should? Are you attending to your salvation? Your sou) u a pearl of great price. There is no valua tion that can be placed upon it. If.it i lost, it is the greatest loss po.ssible. If it i ’ saved, it is the greatest redemption possi ble. O my dear fellow traveler, don’t neg lect your soul’s salvation! You can’t af- f(jrd it. The loss is too great. Come to Jesus that He may save you. This is life’, better way. Come to Him now. THE LETTER "I am one of the fellows who made the world safe for demo cracy. What a crasy thing that was. I fought, and fought, but 1 had to go anyway. I was Class "A". The next time I want to be in Class "B”. B here When they go and B here when they come hack. I remember when I was registered. I went to the desk andi my mailman was in charge. He said, “TVhat’s your name?” I said, “Young man, you know my name.” “What is your name?” he barked, so I told him, “August Childs”. He said, “Are you an Alien?” “No, 1 replied, I teel fine.’ Then he said, “When did you first see the light of day?” I said, “When I moved to North Wilkesboro from under Cut Throat Ridge.” He asked me how old I was. so I told him twenty- three the first of September. “By September you’ll be in Australia and that will be the last of Aug ust.” “A veterinarian started to ex amine me. He asked me if I had ever had measles, small pox. St. Vitus dance, and If I stay in a sa loon too long. Then he said, “Can you see all right? I said, “Sure, but ril be cockeyed tonight if I pass.” Then he listened around my chest and said, "I think yon have a wart somewhere.’’ I said. “Wart, my neck, that’s «. button in your ear.” The doctor said that he had examined 14 0,060 men and that I was the most per fect physical wreck that he had examined. Then he handed me a card—^Class “A”. “Then f went to camp and 1 guess they didn’t think Td Uve long. TTie first fellow wrote on my card, “Flying Corpse’’. I went a little further and some g'ly said, “Look what the wind’s blow ing in.” I said. “Wind nothing, the draft's doing it." On the sec ond morning, they put these clothes on me. What an outfit. As soon os you are in you think you can lick anybody. They have two sizes—too large and too small. The pants are loo tight. 1 can’t sit down. The shoes are so l)ig 1 turned around three times and they didn’t move. And whol a raincoat they gave me. It would have made a better strain er. 1 passed the officer all dress ed up with a fancy l»lt and all the .stuff.

In ten minutes I was broke, 1 never saw so many 2’s and 12’s on a pair of dice. No matter what I did I went broke. Some- Ihtng went wrong even in cords. One lime I got 5 aces and I was afraid to bet. A good thing I didn’t. The guy next to me .said he had six kings. Finally I said, ''This is a crooked game.” They said, “We’re ploying Pinochle.” Everything was crazy. If you were a lively hand, you were put in the Medical Department: if you were s watchman, you were made Offi cer of the Day. I saw a guy with a. wooden leg and asked him what he was going to do in the army. He said, "I’m going to mash the potatoes.” Oh. it was nice—five belgw zero one morning and they called us out for underwear in spection. You talk about scen- lery—red flannels, . BVD’s—all kinds. The union suit I had on would fit Tony Crtilento. The lieu tenant lined us up and told me to stand up. 1 said. “I am up, it’s th» andenrfKr 401m.” H« got 90 «iteh«N.

I leaned over the railing all the time. In the middle of oue of my best leans, the Captain rushed up and said, “What company are you in?” I said I was all by myself. He ask ed me if the Brigadier was up yet. 1 said, “If I swallowed it. it’s up." Talk about your dumb people. I said to on^ of the fel lows. ‘‘I guess we dropped an chor. He said, “I know they’d loose it. It's been hanging out ever since we left New York.” We had one life boat drill and when the boat was being lowered over the side of the ship, it sp4Iled some men into the water. Only the second lieutenant and I were left in the boat.. The lieutensfnt gave orders to pull the men out of the water by the hair of the heads. I was struggling with the men when a fellow with a ball head yelled, “Pull me out.” I said, “go down again and come up the right way,” “Well, we landed In Australia end were immediately sent to th^ trenches. After three nights in the trenches all the cannons start ed to roar and the shells started to fall. I started shaking with pa triotism. I tried to hide behind a tree but there weren’t enough trees for the officers. The cap tain came oround and said. “Five o'clock and we go over the top.” I said I’d like to have a fur lough. He asked, “haven’t you any red 'blood in you?”, and 1 answered, ‘‘Yes, but I don’t want to see it.” He said “where do you want to go?” I said, “Anywhere it’s warm.” He told me where to winner, however, will have the right to enter the state contest, where the prize.s will total $50 in cash. The first prize in the state contest is 920, second prize is 915, third is 910. fourth is 93. and fifth is 92.00. County contests must have .at least 10 entries competing to be eligible for the state contest, the State College oanning specialist stated. Also, the entry list is re stricted to Home Demonstration Club women who have never be fore won first place in a county contest for which the Kerr Cor poration furnished prizes. All county contests will be held before November 7. The thre>i- jar exhibit must consist .of one quart of fruits, one quart of vege tables, and one quart of meats. It is not necesaory to use Kerr jars in canning the products. Mrs. Morris asked that each jar be labeled with the name and address of the woman who canned go. Five o’clock and we went over the top. 10,000 Japs came at us. They all looked alike. They looked at me as if I had started the war. Our captoln yelled: "Fire at will,” but I didn’t know any of their names. I guess the fellow behind me though I was Will. He fired his gun and shot me in the excitement. On my way to the hospital. I asked a fellow where they were taking me. He said, ‘‘You’re going to the mor gue.” I said, ‘‘There’s atme mis take, I’m not dead.’ “Lie down,” he replied, “Do yon want to make a fool of the doctor?’’ “A LONELY SOLDIER.” By virtue of authority contain ed In a certain deed of trust exe cuted on the 13th day of May, 1940, by henor Parks and wife, Lillie Parks, to J.
