THURSDAY, APR. 8, 1943, War Fund Campaign This month the government is asking for IS billions dollars in loans from the American people, the money to be used for war financing. Wilkes county is asked to furnish $374,- 100 of that money, exclusive of whatever amounts are furnished from accounts of the two banks here. That is a lot of money in anybody’s lan guage, but vast amounts of money are needed and it is up to people who have money to put it to work in this war. The person with a few idle hundreds of dollai's should put those dollars into the fight. There is nothing in the way of se curities any safer than our government bonds. They are just as sure as the money itself, just as .secure as our nation and our government. If you have any money see your banker today and put that money into the fight. Good interest beanng bonds can be pur chased for as little as $18.75 and the sky is the limit on the maximum end of the amounts. V Reforestation Will Be Needed This is w.ar time, and more lumber than der before m the history of our nation i.s needed. War demands for lumber are be ing met, but with much difficulty. High prices for lumber, and the great need for large amounts of lumber, have in duced sawmill men to get the greatest pos sible yield from many forest areas, es pecially those within easy reach of high ways. This means that fore.st areas in some lo- calitie.s have ju.st mbout been .stripped of grow mg timber. And this in turn means waste land fo- yeans to come unless some efforts are put forth for reforestation as early as possible. In a recent meeting of the Wilkes post of the American Legion the r.eed of re forestation was taken up and discussed. It may be that the Legion will promote or sponsor some kind of refore.slation cam paign. In which event the public should be keenly intere.sted and .should offer ever\' reasonable cooperation. We are in the pre.sent war to assure for u.s in our lime and more especially to those who live after us that freedom and justice shall not perish from the earth. It is also important that a.s soon as pos sible we turn our thoughts to creating for our children and others in the future the best of resources for their benefit. A reforestation program will aid all. It would prevent soil erosion, and would prevent floods to a great extent. One cause of floods is ravaged forests, Floods are rare in parts of the country which are heavily forested. experienced employes and by avoiding the temptation to hoard noh-rationed conamo- dities. , The tragedy in Europe should spur us on to help our producers and distributors in every possible manner. We want no re currence of that tragedy, in this country ^V— Put Habit On the Side Of Religion H. H. Morehouse, chairman of the North Wilkesboro Kiwanis committee on “Sup port of Churches In Their Spiritual Aims”, submits the following editorial from “The Witness”, issue of March 4: Put ABIT on the side of RELIGION. We have borrowed a slogan from the bulletin of a southern Californian parish. It is a veTj' good slogan: Put HABIT on the side of RELIGION. It applies first of all to regularity of worship. Just as we do not stop and think when it is time to eat, or go to bed, or go to work, so should worship be automatic. If we could put habit on the side of Sun day worship, it would give us a regular source of spiritual strength. Our slogan also applies to daily living. When we put religion into the decision of every day activities, we are laying the groundwork for consistent service of the Master. We cannot separate our religion and our daily living, and thus serve God and mammon. This does not involve self- conscious religious behavior, for by put ting habit on the side of religion it becomes automatic and ceases to be self-conscious. It also applies to our home life. Here is the chief place where there should be a religious atmosphere, where children can grow up as Christians and never know themselves as anything else. Not only does this involve praye.’^ and grace at table, but above all an atmosphere of love and un derstanding. Put habit on the side of religion, and it will become evident that Jesus was right about having life more abundantly. short SHOttTS One of our townsmen with only an A book for bla ento rides.a bi cycle with the following sign On the beck; “Don’t hit me, you may he riding one yourself soon." And In a nearby town a gro cery store closed and put this sign on the window: "Closed— don’t laugh, you may be next.” The theme song of the para trooper is, "It don’t mean a thing if you don’f!*pulI that string." Often people call at the draft board offices trying *to get their sons “preferred” for the army, and at newspaper offices to “pre scribe” for the paper. Running low on inspiration, we borrowed some spring poetry, al- tho tie snow is falling «s we write this column, from publications reaching our desk.

ISENHOUR, Hiddenite, N. C. UP It Must Not Happen Here Tragic stories of death from starvation and exposure in Europe are so common place that their horror has lost significance to many of us. But it should never be for gotten that lack of production is not the sole factor in the plight of Europe’s mil lions. Europe has no organized distribu tion system. What few necessities exist are transported at the convenience of mili tary authorities. Points of final distribu tion to consumers are places rift with dis ease and dirt. What a contrast to the dis tribution system of this country! Retail distribution in America is scienti fically organized. It's principles are com parable to those of mass production. Fair and adequate distribution can be accomplished. 'Hie record of retail mer chants gives strong reassurance of that. However, they will need the utmost co- opei^tion from tiie government and from THE SHINING WAY TO HEAVEN Up the shining way to heaven You will travel with the few.
