North Caroliaa, as second class auktter imder Act of March 4,1879. MONDAY, OCT. 26th, 1942 i^Iavy Day Proclaimed Governor J. Melville Broughton has is sued a proclamation announcing the State’s official observance of Navy Day on Octo ber 27. Broughton, who leads a list of 40 other dignitaries who have asked designation ol a new Navy crui.ser as the USS Charlotte, reminded all North Carolinians that “Navy Day this year carries far more significance than ever before in its 21-year history. Our future liberty hinges upon our fleet— and it is only fitting and proper that we pause momentarily to honor our first line of offense.” Here is the Governor's proclamation: “WHEREAS, the United States Navy is the first line of offense in the great strug gle for freedom, and “WHEREAS, by National and State tra dition October 27 is designated and ob served as Navy Day, this year being the 21st anniversary of this occasion, and “WHEREAS, the people of North Caro lina welcome the opportunity to do full honor to the Navy and its glorious tradition and to accord to the men in its service our pledge of faith and allegiance, “NOW, THEREFORE, I, J. Melville Broughton, Governor of North Carolina, in full recognition of the part which our Na vy is so gloriously playing in this titanic- struggle and in keeping with an annual tradition do hereby designate and set apart October 27, 1942, for the observance of this day and share fully in a .salute to the United States Navy and to its coordinated sea power, the Marine Corps,'Toast Guard. Nava! -Aviation and the Merchant Ma rines.” Wilkes county is well represented in the navy among officers and enlisted person nel. Topping the list of Wilkes men in rank i.s Admiral Percy W. Foote, who has been called back to active duty after retiring folio ving many years of brilliant service. Other high ranking officers include Lt. Commander Erne.st M. Eller and Lt. Com mander J. H. McNeill. There are several of our Wilkes men serving as ensigns and many in the enlisted per.sonnel. It has been our privilege as a newspaper to encourage young men to choo.se the na vy as their branch of service. The navy depends entirely on volunteers to fill its ranks and the plan has worked w-ell to date; Navy Day tomorrow would be a good time to enlist in the navy. A recruiting of ficer will be at the town hall to accept en listments and men who expect to enter the sendee and who are interested in service in the navy could celebrate Navy Day prop erly by interviewdng the recruiting officer. Power Of The Press The esteem in which the American peo ple hold their “free press” was empha-sized recently during obsenmnee of National Newspaper Week. Contribution.^ already made to the war effort by the National press are noteworthy. In addition to keeping the people “fully and truthfully informed,” braving the “en emy fire,” checkmating “enemy propa ganda intended to demoralize and mislead our people,” and taking its place “on the firing line of the war,” the U. S. newspa per fraternity has assisted our war effort in a very practical and substantial way. According to The New York Herald Tri bune, 300,000 newsboys reppresenting 900 newspapers have sold $50,000,000 in war stamps up to September 1. More than 10,- 000 daily and weekly newspapers and 200 other periodicals have contributeu free space devoted to the sale of war bonds val ued at $65,000,0000 based on Treasury De partment estimates. In addition to this, the scrap drive, in which newspapers all over the^ oantry aw ling to .be Bb , ' The newspapers hltff “demoiwtr^ii only their flexibility, their integrity, aftd devotion to' the cause of their country, bht have proved in a very practical ability and power-to perform much needed services voluntarily and without reserve. LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E. IS^NHOUR, Hiddenite, N. C. LONEUNESS There are times in life when a feeling of loneliness comes to our hearts and souls. Somehow we are depressed, feel bo lonely, and maybe wonder what it is all about. At other times we know why it is. Maybe we have been sorely ’disappointed, or have had to tell a dear friend or loved one goodbye. Perhaps one of the family has gone away, or a dear wife, husband, father, mother, child, brother, sister, friend or neighbo!- has died, therefore a deep feeling of loneli ness comes to our heart, mind, soul and spirit. It may happen sometimes that we have broken with the Lord — said and done ;something wrong, or left undone a duty— therefore the comforting Spirit of our Sa vior .seems to have departed. He doesn’t seem real any more. This happens to many a backslider. He goes along life’s journey lonely. 0 so lonely! Well, there is a rem edy. The backslider can return to the Lord Jesus Christ, repent of his backslid ing!?, get forgiveness, and then go forth to do God’s will and have sweet communion with Him from day to day. He can hunger and thirst after righteousness, and more of the power of God, then realize that the Holy Spirit is very real to him. Those who are lonely because of out ward conditions, such as we first men tioned can always depend upon God to bring them comfort. Acro.ss the years of life we pass through dark and trying pla- ce.s, and how lonely we sometimes feel! Arms upon which we sometimes lean are- taken from beneath us because of death, or because of unfaithfulness, or because distance separates us, but we can always rely upon God. We can lean upon His ev erlasting arms and know they never fail. We know He will never leave us, and that He will never forsake us, as long as we obey Him and keep in communion with Him through much prayer. 0 lonely heart, lonely soul, don’t de ■spair! God still lives. If you are in sin, come to Him as an honest penitent and He will forgive you, save you, and then bring to your heart sweet comfort. If circum stances are such that loneliness has comt to you which is no fault of your own, look up and call upon the blessed Savior. He is indeed a very present help. If gloom has gathered about your life, draw nigh to God and He will remove the gloom and bring heavenly sunshine in. A BROKEN HOME A letter came the other day With a melancholy trend. Telling of a home once \happy That had met a tragic end. ’Twas a brokenhearied mother,— Yes, a wife of other years,— Sobbing out a sad, sad story That would tingle in your ears.
