THURSDAY, APR. IS, 1943 Helping Cripples For several years the people of Wilkes county have bought Easter Seals and con tributed to the crippled children’s work. We feel that you would like to know just what is being done for the crippled child ren of this county, therefore, we are listing below some of the services rendered dur ing the past year. Conducted clinics at the Wilkes Hospital under supervision of Dr. 0. L. Miller, 12; new patients examined, 183; return pati ents examined, 266; operations advised, 84'; casts applied, 33; braces applied, 23; dressings, 30; strap bandages, 17; special shoes, 32; exercises advised, 24; dietetic advice, 22; massage, 19; X-ray, 34; took to hospital, 42. Since the work began in Wilkes county several years ago more than 600 children have received treatment. The work is sponsored by the National Society for Crippled Children, North Car olina League for Crippled Children, The County Health Department, The North Wilkesboro Kiw’anis Club and many inter ested organizations and individuals thru- out the county. cannot help but be encouraged by^ Py^ gross being made by the Allied Nat»6|^, ^ But there is & danger that the feeling of encouragement -will lead to a wnse of curity and lethdrgy which would not have^ a wholesome effect.

Our armies have not reached • tihe main fight, which will be invasion of the axis den, which is the continent of Europe, And let us also remember that the fight ing on the eastern front is still deep in Rus sian territory. , And we Should not forget that Japan is a powerful and dangerous enemy which has felt the power of the Allied Nations only on the outskirts of the Pacific thea tre of war operations. Looking at the war picture we get some encouragement, but at the same time we should look at the situation sanely and know that it is no time to let up, that the main fight is drawing near, apd that no one should think the war is won and quit. Now is the crucial time to double our ef forts on the home front to make sure that our fighting men have what it takes for the big scale offensive. Now is the time to buy more bonds, to produce more food, to make more and better materials of war fare. Now is the time to increase our efforts. V Borrowed Comment OUR GREATEST CHALLENGE (Statesville Daily) Americans are being asked to send their dollars to war as they have never sent them before. Through nearly two million out lets across the nation our dollars can be voluntarily enlisted—they are not drafted, not yet. The national goal is the investment of thirteen billion dollars in the form of loans THE PAREWEl.I. .A.DDRES.S A minister in e certain town in Alabama took permanent leave of his congregation in the follow ing manner; 'Brothers and sisters, I come to say good-bye.

North Carolina's allotment is ‘ ' Look South the war there will be many which will vitally affect this After changes country. A new world will open up, made pos.si- ble by the remarkable scientific advances now under way. Ernest E. Norris, president of the Southern Raih^ay system, is author of the following comment, which appeared in one of his company’s recent advertisements: “Long before the war, the South had been showing its imposing strength. But that was only the beginning . . . “After the war, the South will take a leading part in the new world that will open up ... a more abundant world made possible by today’s remarkable scientific advances ... a world of plastics, synthe tics, new fabrics and new products. “The southern states are notably rich in the natural resources needed by tomor row’s technology. Southern timber, agri cultural products, chemicals and minerals are exactly those required for the new processes. “Reachipg into every p irt of the South, the great network of the Southern Rail way System ties farm and factory together into a compact industrial unit. Resources, labor, industry . . . and ready transporta tion ... these are the strength' of the South. “Today, the busy trains of the Southeni haul troops and war materials. Tomorrow these trains will keep busy serving the new word. “Look'ah.ead ... lack South.” As Notfis stated above, the southern sUtes ure rich in’the resources which will be needed to manufacture many things for the po«t war world. It will be up to the people oif th« south to take advantage of staggering, Iredell’s quota is large and each community will be impressed with the size of its share in the drive that has just begun and which will be continued for three weeks. This call repre.sents a lot of money, but it will be met, and there are plenty of rea sons, aside from the fact that Uncle Sam needs the dough, why everybody and his brother shoyld get down to the business of buying these war bonds promptly and ex tensively. In the first place it will be our answer to the challenge of Hitler, Hirohito & Co., who have figured that we would be too close-fisted to part with our money and make the sacrifices that are necessary to swerve them from their purpose to rule or ruin. 1)1 the second place this is one way of syphoning off surplus dollars representing the purchasing power of the nation, a pur chasing power that is so extensive it breeds inflation. Failure to respond would most certainly lead to planning to take through taxation what the people refuse to part with voluntarily. But there will be no failure. It would not surprise if at the end of the three weeks campaign the thirteen billion would be oversubscribed. But that doesn’t mean that a .single one of us should decide to let George do it. Thirdly, loaning dollars to Uncle Sam. is putting them away safely to ride out the storm, while they earn reasonable inter est for their owners and provide future se curity for dependents. This War Loan drive outstrips anything of its kind in the history of this or any oth er nation. It is being undertaken iit a time when we think we are being hard-pressed in many ways, but when in fact we have more cash than can reasonably be spent. It is our patriotic duty to a;iswer the Treasury s call, but in dozens of ways it is to our own personal interest to respond promptly and fully to the call. AhsiMiHes Bv t»WR}HT »l. ,, TK WHA?
