THURSDAY, DEC.\3,’1»42 Christmas Shopping ■With Christmas only three weeks away, Christmas shoppers are already in search «of gift merchandise. And this is an invitation for you to do ^fcBUT Christmas shopping in North Wilkes- flwro. Frankly, we are surprised at the extent and variety of merchandise offered in Hbrth Wilkesboro stores this Christmas ■eason. North Wilkesboro merchants are ex- caeedlngly well stocked, considering the circumstances brought on by all-out war. With transportation difficulties being what they are, surely it would be superflu- flos to say that you should trade in North ^Ikesboro. We venture to assert that the vmriety of merchandise offered Christmas liioppers here is larger than can be found an the larger cities to which some of our ^opie have been going before every pre- v ’ous Christmas. This is the Christmas holiday shopping ffiition of The Journal-Patriot. Many Worth Wilkesboro firms, every one of them reliable, have advertisements in this news paper, and several have listed many arti- rfes frorti which you may select holiday prfhs The listed selections are very large, considering war conditions. To say that North Wilkesboro stores are well stocked does not mean that they h^ve woduly increased their inventories. But we dh» mean to say that North Wilkesboro mierchants have a great variety of mer- dhandise and that they have bought wisely ‘1b antlr.pating’the holiday trade demands. Do your Christmas shopping in North Wilkesboro, and do not overlook the fact fliat a War P>ond makes an excellent eSmstmas gift, especially if you cannot jkeide on something else. Capacity Was Underestimated Major factors in the shortage of steel, ibber, and copper, according to an ex- lustive study of “War Production and lortages of Basic Materials” made by the ■esearch Division of the National Associa- fion of Manufacturers, were the failure of fh« government to realize the scope of the ' war program in its planning, the conflict mmong government agencies to obtain ma- fterials, and the unpredictable nature of Eend-Dease requirements.' , • This 56-page study which was cleared by the Office of Censorship _^nd.placed n (file hands of War Productioa,'Board offi cials before release of the announcement mt the Controlled Material^'PI tin, which may clear up some of the conditions enu merated in the NAM report. According to the survey;'‘'‘shortages of basic raw materials, actually or threaten ed, are due to the following factors: (1^ faulty planning by government agencies before Pearl Harbor; (2) lack of balance m'theTvar production program due partly fea the lack of coordination between the Army, Navy, Maritime Commission and ,(Bie War Production Board; (3) failure to Btialize in time inadequacies of the system of priorities, and (4) the fact that produc- Gon has exceeded early estimates.” Both government and private industry underes- fcnated the capai^df American indus- by to produce Productive fa- aiities have been ihq^^ed until they are mrw out of step wit^few materW sup^- Pointing out how indusS^'s abilify to gfoduee had been pnder^mated re port states that “one factors rttepon- fSMm for the tightness tB O*e supj^ly ff raw ■■.♦.pwRla is the WdebsJjiBiiatloil on the certain M STinerican indusftty ' r««r.« ^ * I«IT^ nnmlwawartls io -pip- ThirtjH^ ner c dngle persons America made lew of fi^'fanrilim am on tho^..jmnn8' Ilmir > home the same year. It is difficult to see how anyone ^ca«' claim the farmers and ddaYmen are prof iting by the ‘«?artime.ri3e in farm produ^ prices.. In fact, they are‘so far fro^profiV that under the impact of labor short* ages, government regulation, and ration ing of gas and machinery, many thousands of them are quitting in discouragement. However, the bulk of the nation’s farm ers will fight for the right to produce suf ficient food 4for our soldiers, civlians and our Allies, at a price that will not force the* farmer out of business. The stakes in this fight ^re high. If the farmer loses, the nation loses. Goverenmenet fiat may equitably distri bute what food is left, but only the farmet can produce more.

Janey stared out of the window at Peterson’s house and beyond at the big yard where the kids were playing football. She held her pen elegantly in air. “atting here looking out the window, I see a peaceful little town, and I wonder now the world can be in such a turmoil and the people of this world can have such hate for their fellow men. So I’m proud to send these stamps be cause I know I’m helping to make peacerul again the whole world peai like our little town.” She signed her name with an important flourish, not forgetting a conspicuous “Miss” In front at the “Janey.” After she had sealed the letter she went on star ing out of the window. It really was awfully peaceful. Overhead she heard a plane go humming by ttirough the sunny afternoon air. 'Then the voice of her beat friend, Betty, called from out side—“Jan-ey!” In an instant Janey was on her feet and tear ing downstairs and out.

Good men, great men, noble men are truth ful men. If they had not been truthful they could never have been great. “There is nothing so kindly as kindness and noth ing so royal as truth.” A liar may gain some point, but he wou-’t retain it. He will lose it sometime, some where. Not only that, but he will lose other points. Even his good traits and prin cipals will eventually be marred by false- ood. But saddest and worst of all, he will lose his soul in the end of life here, unless he repents, gets forgiveness and becomes truthful, as no liar shall enter the kingdom of heaven. This is startling and should tuuvi.'ice us of the seriousness of falsehood Young man, young woman, dear boy, dear girl, be thankful. Tell the truth at home and you will tell it when you are some- Grown-nps and ehUdreB alike should an help ffie “hteadwin- ner” of the family to budget tor War Bonds.

ICK’S where else. But if you lie at home you will lie away from home. It is better to tell the truth if you suffer for it for the time being, than tell a falsehood to escape suffering temporarily, as it will bring on greater suffering hereafter. Be truthful. It is not only very beau tiful trait of life, but very valuable. It is absolutely essential to noble manhood and womanhood, to success and happiness, and life’s best. God wants truthful people, not liars. He can bless no lying soul. Mighty men and women are truthful men and wo men. Truth fills their minds and hearts. They live the truth, act the truth, speak the truth. Their word is their bond. Men depend upon what they say. Who appreciates and admires the man and woman of truth? Elverybody who love uprightness. Then be truthful at home, in the school room, at play, in business, and in all your dealings 'with mankind Realize that truth will lift you up, while falsehood will pull you •do'wn. How ( nobling is truth! You may not be beautiful, but you can be truthful, and yet there is lots of Beauty in truth. You may not be educated, but yon can be truthful. You may not be famous, but you can be truthful. You may not be successful in business, but you can be truthful. You may not be popular, but you can be truthful. This is far better than populari^. Raleigh.—State Office of De fense Transportation authorities, noting “farmers were, in most cases, not satisfied with mileage quotas’’ allowed by certificates of war necessity, said today rural truck owners may e.ppeal for more gasoline if the need warrants. Proper procedure, it was ex plained, would require only three steps: 1. All farmers who feel an ad justment is necessary should take their certificates to their local ra tion boards and secure their allot ments of gas for December and the first quarter of 1943. 2. The farmers then should go to the county farm transportation committee, usually looated at the county seat, and present 'the war necessity certificate with an ex planation of his needs for each quarter of 1943. The transportation com mittee will forward the certificate with Us recommendation to the proper ODT district office for re vision.
