THURSDAY, NOV. 12, 1942 Long Awaited Action The American people for months have been clamoring for action against Ger many and Japan to relieve Russia and China, two of our valiant allied nations who have been hard pressed and who have lost more men, and have suffered more than any other allied nations. Now American forces have opened a new front in Africa. It is indeed en couraging that so many American force.s have been landed there to aid the British in cleaning up the Mediterranean. Opening up the Mediterranean will mean that more help can be furnished Russia. It may mean that the Allies can invade the European continent by way of Italy, Yugoslavia or Greece. There is no discounting the fact that the American invasion of northern Africa is a major development in the war and one which will have far-reaching effects. However, many commentators probab ly have accomplished nothing to help the war effort in their optimistic predictions of an early end to the war. It would be unwise to place in the American people a feeling of satisfied complacency. Instead, every person must do all possi ble to aid the war effort. The end is not yet in sight.- In fact, the big fight is just now getting into the second round and we will not have won until the enemy is counted out. War news is definitely much better than three months ago, and we sincerely believe that it will be much better for the Allied Nations when another three months pa.s.s. But there is a tremendous task ahead, one that requires the combined efforts of all in order to bring about its completion at the earliest possible date. Need More Scrap While the October scrap campaign in Wilkes was succes.sful, we find that there are many, many tons of scrap metal which yet have not reached the .scrap dealers. There are large items of .scrap metal lying around and serving no useful pur poses. Old cars which left the roads years ago continue to be scattered around premises all over the county. And the same is true of other counties all over the country. There are discarded farm implements : w'hich were thrown away years ago. America’s industries making war ma terials need that iron and -steel badly. i Why not gather it up and bring it in to a scrap dealer, or call the local WPA of fice and have the truck call for it? In either case, you will receive payment at prevailing prices. In many cases, the owners have left their premfses and that accounts for the metal now being brought in. , Patriofic neighbors could render a val uable service by contacting the owners and securing their permission to sell the metal. The Will and Ability to Win There are many people who though handicapped, in one way or another, have become famous. Notably among these are authors, musicians, and scientists whose works will live through the years. They are outstanding individuals whose talents, often developed under the most severe handicaps, have endeared themselves to the public. But in industry, thousands of these handicapped people are turning out war materials and doing everything they can to help win the war. A man in Chicago, who works in a wheel chair was one of those who recently received an Army and Navy reward emblem. A man blind in one eye operate* an engine latiie' in a machine Kew % IB „ ^■^-^'pwple, Wotii ahd WOBaen^ __ ig remarkable*^ork on pi*ecisi6h ih- ^menta .On an aasambly line.in ap 0^ cartridge "fttctory there axe mijny crippl^S workers and deaf people* actually have, an advantage in'iiolsy plants. ♦ Right now, industry needs all the draft- exempt men it can get and thousands of the lame, blind, deaf, and otherwise crip pled are being given an opportunity to do what they can to win the war. In giving their services to their country at this time they are demonstrating that they have not only the will to win but the ability to win. Message to Every Driver This newspaper, as well as every other newspaper in the nation, has been request ed by Rubber Director William M. Jeffers to carry a special message on rubber con servation. This paper is glad t© comply with this request and urges all motorists to render this important five-point program: 1. Drive only when absolutely neces sary. 2. Keep under 36 miles per hour. 3. Keep your tires properly inflated, 4. Have them inspected regularly. 5. Share your car with others. You can save rubber and help win the war if you do these five things, Mr. Jeffers emphasizes. If every family in the U. S. returned ten pennies to circulation, the more than 1,000 tons of copper needed to replace them could go to make war weapons. In 1941, 77 per cent of all auto trips wej e for “necessary purposes,” but “unnecessaiy” driving accounted for more than 65 billion road miles of travel and consumed more than four billion gallons of gasoline. Secretary Stimson has disclosed that there are 800,000 Americans on foreign fields of serv’ice—and the flow of men to the distant battle fronts is continuing. Transporting that great number of men, together with their equipment, over thous ands of miles of enemy-infested sea and air lanes, is a great tribute to the efficien cy of the American Navy.—Oxford Pub lic Ledger. UFE'S BEHER WAY WALTER E. ISENHOUR, Hiddenite, N. C. REVEALING AN EVIL SPIRIT It is hard to convince someone else that you are right if you reveal an evil spirit. Even if your argument is true, but you are wrong in your heart, soul and spirit, you will have a hard time to get the other fe;- low to accept what you are endeavoring to put across. The fact of the matter is we naturally size a man up by what he stand.s for, and the way he lives, and we measure his argument largely by the effect it ha.s on his own life. It ha. happened oca.sionally through the years that someone takes i.ssue with me because I believe there is a hell to shun and a heaven to gain; that it is necessary to be bom of the Holy Spirit and sanctified in order to live Christlike; that one should be liberal in heart instead of selfLsh and .stingy; that we should .stand again.st all sin and wickedness, and stand for God and righteousness, etc. Anybody that is rea sonable, and especially every sweet-spirit ed Christian, will agree to this; but it hap pens now and then that some fellbw wants to convince me that I am a Pharisee, or that I am in line with Roman Catholici-sm, and so he writes a very scathing, scorch ing, stinging, blLstering letter, quoting a lot of Scripture that I have read and stud ied for years and years to convince me that I am wrong, and in the meantime reveal.-; an ugly, evil spirit in his letter. Now that fellow would never convince me that he is right with such a bad temperament. What I do is to burn his letter, never answer it. and pray right on, preach right on, write right on, look right up to God as usual, keep sweet in my soul, pray for him, love everybody, and keep traveling in the foot prints of Jesus heavenward. Hallelujah' So many people with a false doctrine, and arguments that are absolutely mis leading, reveal a very bad spirit in trying to convince you that they are right and you are wrong. It stands to reason and .sound judgment that if they were right they would reveal the spirit of love, pati ence, gentleness, kindness, tenderness and. Christlikeness instead of the spirit of criti cism, faultfinding, anger and harshness. The Spirit of Christ is sweet, not bitter, sour, critical and repulsive. Those who are true folIoweJs of Jesus revfeal the'spir it of Christlikeness.

RAMBlilNO COMMENT If you hare a wreck you may be able to get spare parts fort your car, but how about yourself? An angry mother asked | her daughter if she allowed Jim to klsa her while driving. She said: “Certainly not, any man who kisses while driving is unable to give the kiss the attention It deserves." Ralph Waldo Emerson got up one night and hl3 wife heard him rummaging In a drawer and said, "What’s ;the matter, my dear, have you got a pain?” "No,' he answered, “I have got a thought." How different wag Wordsworth. He awoke his wife one night and said, “Mary, I have thought of a good word; please get up and put It down.” And hie wife, replied: “William, I have Just thought of a had word, and you had better get up yourself and put it down." MONEY AND ELECTIONS We cannot vouch for the truth of this story, but we have heard that a motorist driving by the vot ing place here last week needed to stop. He put out his hand to give the stop signal as the law speci fies, and before he could get his hand back in ti .. car it contained a five-dollar b’ i and three ones, and there were two -politicians on the running board. HE USED IT Two politicians were cruising the street in their car when they saw on the sidewalk a man who had worked in pre\nous elections on their side. ‘ Without question of his loyalty to the same party and all its can didates, they stogped and asked if he could use $125, meaning could he use it to buy votes for their candidates in the election. He told them that he could easily use $125 or maybe more. They counted off $1^ and handed it to him. •\s the politicians drove off, he stepped back to the sirlewalk and rejoined a friend with whom he ■was talkivg when stopped by the politicians. There he counted off $25 and nlaced $100 in an inside pocket He said: “I will use the $100 to pay off a note, and the $25 I ear use to get a family to vote against a candidate of the party whic! gave me this money. I should say I can use $125.” This is just one of many stories floating around. We cannot vouch for the truth of it.

Between now and that time, he said at a press conference, the nation must find four or live mil lion more men—the best young manhood—for the services. Sim ultaneously, he added, It must find men to take oare of the food problem and Industrial produc tion, which is still short of Its peak. Response To Question His statement came In response to a question whether he favored transferring the selective service system to the war man power commission, as recommended by a manegement-labor policy com mittee of WMC. It was, he said, all part of the man power ques tion. He had been devoting a lot of time to that problem. There was no immediate emergency, but something must be done In two or three weeks. As for the armed forces, there were now,,he said, about 4,500,- 000 in the army, which must be increased to about 7,500,000 by January 1, 1944. Meanwhile, the navy’s present 1,000,000 must grow to 1,'500,000, and the ma rine corps and coast guard must be Increased from 400,000 to 700,000. The man power commission's management-labor policy commit tee had earlier issued a report favoring a voluntary, instead of a compulsory system of obtaining men for the factories and farms, and there ;%ere indications that the administration was in agree ment. ■V 9 Hickory Logs Cut 29 Inches, 58 Inches oi* 87 Inches No. 1 No. 2 No. 3 Delivered HICKORY FIBRE CO.
