THURSDAY, MAR. 18, 1943 Splendid Record We take pride in commending any and everything which reflects credit on our county. And this time we wish to comment on the very excellent record mad# so far in the Red Cross v/ar fund campaign. The response has been most encouraging in practically every report. The Red Cross funds will be used for the benefit of our men in the service. Every person in the county has a near relative or close friend in the fighting forces, and the appeal for Red Cross funds should mean much to every person. Business firms and many indivduals in the Wilkesboros responded to the call with substantial gifts, several of which reached a new high for any fund raising campaign here. We commend their generosity and are thankful that they put their money to such good use. And while all who are interested in the Red Cross are grateful for the large gifts, we would not fail to give due praise to the thousands of Wilkes county people who gave one or a few dollars. Many of them really sacrificed in order to give to the Red Cross. Some who gave one to five dollars to the fund denied themselves some enter tainment, luxury, pleasure or. some needed purchase in order to contri bute. They made a sacrifice and their willingness to give until it-hurt cannot be praised too highly. And we would not f^il to commend the officials of the Wilkes chapter, Dr. John W. Kincheloe, Jr., war fund chairman, and every worker for their efficient efforts in making the canvass of the people. The campaign was well executed and much time was .spent by volunteer workers in getting the Red Cross mes,sage to the peo ple and giving the people the opportunity to make contribuntioms. V j Warning to People Greed brought on the war from without, but unle.ss the people of the United Na tions forget greed, the lust for money and political favor, we could be defeated. Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker tias been do ing some talking which should do thi.s country much good, and he certainly was preaching to everybody when he said: “If all America—capital, labor, gov ernment and all of us—doesn’t forget the ‘money angle’ and the political angle of this war, it can mean defeat for the United Nations.” There are those who call Rickenbacker a labor baiter, etc. But there are none yet who have come out with any ^.ound argu ment against anything he has uttered. He advocated placing strikers on the wav front. And some mushy mouthed, politi cally minded people took up the issue and said he was causing disunity among the people. Greed has long been th« word used to describe big business, but now we have to reverse the angle and find that greed is one of the evils of organized labor in war time. When workmen deliberately quit making the tools of war for the fighting men, and quit because their every want is not filled, the acts come very near being treason. For such failure in the armed forces, the guilty would be court martialed. Cutting Bait The phrase, “social security for every one,” is the new political bait being pre pared to lure the voter.. It is a fine sound ing catch phraM. . There is soiuf^ing even greater than full-stomach ' ^ security, however. ■* *■ "a vit4j:ward;of returnfwAm stom«^ 6nd^A; plaCf to sleep, f-' Government can only “give to the pe^ pie what it first takes away from them.,it can tax or confiscate savings and redis tribute them under the guise of equaliza tion of wealth. . # But a nation will starve If a majority of the people do not have the individual am bition and incentive to. work, and save, and produce new wealth continuously to take care of themselves and that small percentage of unfortunate individuals who will always be wards of the state, and who should be cared for much better than they now are. , „ xi. Political planning of the lives of all the people in a nation can be carried too far, just as can parental planning of the lives of children—we face that danger in our country. The planners and spenders are beginning to outnumber the workers and the savers. V — . Red Cross Service Red Cross Volunteer Services should receive the support of all the people who can do any of that type bf work. In war time it becomes the duty of the Red Cross to furnish service kits, many knitted garments, surgical dressings and other items. The Red Cross chapter here has a work room over Tomlinson’s Department Store, where women can meet to work on the ar ticles needed by men of our armed forces. Mrs. J. A. Rousseau is chairman of this phase of Red Cro.ss work and from infor- mation gained from her, we learn that more volunteer workers are needed if quotas are to be met. Why not begin now?

Behold the devastating work of evil, sin and wicked ness everywhere. Undoubtedly the devil is having his day. Drunkenness-. r.evelry, 'carousal, jealo __ spirit of vindictiveness is manifested throughout the land. Modesty seems to be on the footstool today and immodesty on the throne. Nude and ungodly fashions have locked arm.s with adultry and are marching down the board road that leads in the opposite direction of heaven, and multitudes, multitudes are following in their footsteps, going away from virtue and godliness. " The nation.s are now tremendously war- minded. This means blood.shed, the loss of life by millions, the loss of millions of pre cious souls and the destruction of billions and billions and billions of dollars worth of p*-operty. Certainly. We realize this as an absolute fact. 'Then, is it not high time that the forces of righteousness .should wake up and go forth for God to save life, to save souls, and to save property? Un doubtedly. O slumbering church, wake up! Your deadness is largely responsible for the present dreadful condition of the world. While you have been asleep the devil has been very much alive and on his job. Yes. and while tens of thousands of your members have been flirting with the world, the flesh and the devil, and out to get evil, ungodly pleasure, spending ■''asl sums of money for this purpose, the war lords have armed themselves to shed the life’s blood of humanity. 0 righteous forces, why have you been asleep, or off guard, or going with the very crowd that is hellbent? Perhaps I should say profess ed rigiiteous forces. Multitudes profess the name of Jesus, the name or righteous- ^ ness, but they are only wolves in sheepto-^ clothing. Dead formalism certainly is not ’ of God. An empty profession is far from a gracious and glorious possession. To pro fess Christianity and run with the world is worse than to profess nothing religious ly. Much worse. But it is time to awake, seek God, pray for forgiveness, obtain vital Holy Ghost salvation, then assemble your forces of righteousness and go forth, not to kill men, but to save them. This is the Gospel plan of redemption. If men and women every where would wake up, repent, ipray, call on God for help for themselves and for the millions of earth, we believe it would bring this ^wful war to a close immediately, God can do mighty things quickly when He is sought • earnestly and in the righ| way. Forces of righteousness, AWAKjBLr MORE TRUE TODAY THAN EVER BEFORE It seems that Junior was mean dering homeward much later than his usual suppertime. A neighbor who happened to meet him and thinking to hurry his leisurely pace, said: Neighbor—Why, Junior, aren’t you af.-aid you will be late for supper? Junior—No. I’ve got the meat.

Tieae Urea, which includa new tlrea made before f/SS, oth er new but alightly damaged tlrea, and Victory tlrea made 'Of . re- clialmed rubber, were available previoualy only to 'paaaenger cam driven more than 560 milea' monthly. At the same time, Brown an nounced that motoriata eligble for 560 or more mllea will be allowed but a limited number of Qmde 1 tires, the highest grade casinga. Theae tires previoualy were re served for drivers with a ration exceeding 1,000 miles a month. All of theae types of tires, how ever, still have to be obtained with certlfcates issued by local ration boards. Brown said that Ruubber Di rector Jeffers has increased the quota, of Grade 1 tires from 321.- 827 in March to 540,000 in April, Grade II tires from 253,000 to' 540,000, and truck tires from 299,000 to 360,000. These changes did not affect A- nard holders, who are eligible for used or recapped casings. How ever, Brown recently removed most of the rationing ‘‘red tape’’ on recapped tires. Another change added tires that fit a 17-inch rim to the list of ‘‘obsolete” tires—which can be obtained by anyone eligible for D or better gasoline books, even though he actually has only an A-book.

Red Tape Cut On Bean Seed Washington.—The Office of Price Administration removed yesterday all red tape oa the pur chase of dry peas, beans or len- ils when these vegetables are to be planted and not eaten. After consuiting with the Agri culture Department. OPA ruled that neither certificates nor cou pons will be needed to buy such seed, providing it is marked clearly as seed and the purchaser promises to plant it. Earlier today the agency had explained to Inquirers that, while regular ration coupons did not have to be used to buy seed peas or beans, special certificates had to be obtained from ration boards. The reversal of ruling In ef fect put the public on the honor system. Officials termed abolition of the restrictions necessary because the planting season is hero and ration boards sire too busy to give •ompt attention to applications. The exemption applies to faitn- >suid amateur victory gSTdea- alike. r. .v . - . --M Chickens Wanted! Bring Them To Your F. C. X. STORE AT 921 ‘D* STREET . . .
