North CuoBna, aa aecond daas matter ' of Mardi A 1879. MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1943 Boys and Girls Helping To Purchase Food County Agent J. B. Snipes reports that as a result of visits to 30 schools in Wilkes over 2,000 boys and girls have pledged to carry out food production projects this year. With young men in the armed service of our country, and many other men and tome women away at work in war indus tries, the burden of food production is go ing to fall on boys and girls and older peo ple. Aside from the benefit production o* food will be in the war program, there are other virtues to production of food by boys and girls. It will give them practical training in an important phase of life and will mean that they come in contact with work, which is essential for every person who intends to live a successful life. There are no short cuts around work. Regardless of the vocation or profession a young person selects, there will be plenty of work if any measure of success is to be obtained. The quicker boys and girls learn that truth, the better they will get along in the world. Those who find it really hard are those who are not introduced to work un- tRthey have reached an age of maturity. Then it is almost impossible for them to learn the great lesson of neces^y of work. In War News Better News from the many fighting fronts dur ing the past week was definitely better. One of the major developments was the total destruction of a Japanese convoy of 22 ships off the northeast coast of New Guinea. In addition to .sending. 22 ships to the bottom, our planes de.stroyed 15,000 Japanese troops. Destruction of the convoy does not mean that the Japs are licked, but it does mean that our force.s are equal to the situation and have given Tojo a setback long to be remembered by the military leaders of Ja pan. Tojo announced that Japanese ships hau retired to previously prepared positions. Our reply is that they retired to positions at the bottom of the Pacific. In Russia the news was a little gloomlv ten days ago with the Germans throwing the weight of their re.serve strength into counterattacks on the southern front. The Ilu.ssian.s were equal to the situation and on the central front we.st of Moscow countered with one of the greatest offen sives. Africa allied forces recaptured all positions which Rommel’s forces took over in mid-February. It was a week of very good news for the Allies. * Patriotism of Hosiery Mill Employes We noted with interest that employes of Wilkes Hosiery Mills company last week contributed $1,500 to the Red Cross War Fund. This instance adds to the already im- record of contributions by the who have responded pressive company’s employes, liberally to every call with contributions and support to worthy causes. And we learn from the management of the company that the employes did it themselves and without any pressure of any kind from company officials. They 4id it willingly and gladly. There are other groups who make good records in support of the Red Cross and other aciWtfas, Fut when a Urge group Avery call with liberal Mmense. ft M ttoe their achievements TAitE (State Magazine) New rules in food rationing ^ mulgated last week and are now In Drastic curteilment in use of some foodfr-especUlly canned goods-hw Men put into effect. The Government is ask- ing tbit eve'iTbody cooperate to^ey^ the regulations and in pointing fhia cooperation will play an imfio part in our war effort. We can follow two courses in this coB- nection. We can grumble, cbmplainwut find fault, or we can.take it in our stride and inform the Government that were willing to respond cheerfully. To our way of thinking, the American people are going to do their best to live up to the provisions of the new refla tions. In the past, we have been able^to buy anything we want, and as much of it as we want. But we’re now at war. It Is necessary that we send vast supplies to our Allies, who are helping fight our battle for us. It is also necessary that we Ikeep the men and women in our armed forces well suppplied with everything they need. They come first. We who are left at home come last. The sacrifices we make are trivial when compared With the sacrifices they are making.

THE DANGER OF OPPOSING GOD’S PEOPLE “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the ser vants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.”—Isaiah 54:17^ It is a dangerous thing to take a stand against a man of God. This has been tried across the ages of time with fearful con sequences. When a man is living in clo.se touch and blessed fellowship with God, it is a known fact that God will protect him. If, however, he permits him to .suffer, or even die, yet the truth and the right for which he stood shall continue to stand. It will live on and on, while those who take their stand against the man of God and that for which he .stood, and gave his life, die in defeat and is soon forgotten. “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.” This promise is made to men of godline.ss and righteou.sness by God Almighty.

PLENTY OP MONET Some time ago we wrote In this column about a friend of ours re ceiving a large sum from the sale of a surplus tire to the govern ment. Now our ship has come In. Our tire was turned In lAvem- ber 18. 1942, a few weeks after we prid ?2 for it. Our check was so long coming that we had decided that sale of war bonds had to pick up before the government could pay us. No wonder we had been urging everybody to buy more war bonds. We wanted to get paid. ‘ And did. When o'Ur check arrived Friday, March 3, we called officers to provide an armed guard to escort us to the hank. We realized ten per cent on our investment—that is, we got back ten cents of each dollar invested, making a total of twenty cents. We had a notion to send the check back with the remark that we have a conscience that works both ways. And then we had another no tion to frame the check. And last we had a better no tion—to spend it. HOW SHE TRADED Wife*; “Goodness, George, this is not our baby. Tills is the wrong' carriage.” Hubby: “Shut up.

HE DID SElAi IT tourist stopped in front of a little country store, dumbfounded at the sight of an enormous dis play of salt piled on the premises. Stack after stack, boxes, barrels and bttgs. Tons of salt, inside the store and out. “Ye gods, man, ou must sell a lot of salt!” exc’ .med the tourist. “No, I don’t sell much,” repli ed the storekeeper, “but you should have seen the guy that came here last week. He really the truth and the right for which we stand, ^ould sell salt. ’ and the good things of life for which wo are living, why fret and worry? We are told, “Fret not thyself because of evil doers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they .shall .soon be cut down like the grass, and wither a.s the green herb.” (Psalm 37:1, 2). God will certainly take care of His own, His truth and His blessed cause. To know we are right, and that God is with us, is.sufficient “And we know that all things gether for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (Rom. 8:28). Hallelujah! If we love God supremely, and pray to Him continually, and realize that we are call ed into His service by His divine Spirit, and have the consciousttesa that we are meas uring up to His call and purpose for our lives, then the most adverse and trying circumstances of life can’t defeat us. They only work out for our good and God’s glory. God will bring things out just right. It is better to be with the small crowd on any issue, or along any line, and be right, than be with the large crowd, or the majority, and be wrong. Men and devils may form their weapons against God’s people, but they shall not prosper. When they are dead, gone and forgotten, and have left ttis world “unwept, unhpnored and unsung,’’ men shall rise up and call God’s pec^e blesse^. Praise our God.

While she was left alone work to- doctor approached, lifted the sheet, peeked under and left. Still another approached, lifted the sheet and peeked under. ’This WMS entirely too much, so she ask ed the man: "What am I here for. Doc., observation or operation?” He replied: ”.I don’t know; I’m not the Doc; I’m the painter down the hall.” Mexico expects to produce this vear 66,000 tong more sugar than it can consume, and may ship the surplus to the United States.
