An Airport, Pleast
Our big job now is to win the war.
And when we say our, we mean it is
everybody’s job.
But for those who can spare a minute,
we have a suggestion to offer.
During the war great strides are being
made in aviation development.
Air transportation following the war is
going to be an immense business not onlj
in carrying pp.ssengers, but freight as well.
Cities and towns without an airport are
goins^to be left behind.
To the public spirited people of North
Wilh.esboro, we suggest that you give some
thought to the construction of an adequate
airport for North Wilkesboro just as soon
after the end of the war as possible.
Many of you will probably live to see the
day when air freighters carry your pro
ducts from here to metropolitan markets
in a few hours.
We can easily remember when Lind-
berg’s flight across the Atlantic was con
sidered miraculous.
Now a plane trip across the Atlantic is
just part of the day’s work for an army
bomber pilot.
Planes carry men and war materials to
all parts of the world.
The time of trtesportatieWt* and com
munication has been lowered tremendous
ly by air.
Yes, North Wilkesboro will need an air
port to keep in step with progress.

Yesterday the news was released that

Where Can They Serve Best?—
It has long been our contention that
when the government enforces a policy on
the civilian population that it should lead
the way in carrying out that policy.
Men whose services are very valuable to
their employers have been taken into the
armed forces, but it does not seem that the '
draft has not gone as deeply into the list of |
government workers as it should.
In this connection we quote the follow
ing editorial which appeared in the Win
ston-Salem Journal:
“There are 840,578 men between the
ages of 18 and 38, or enough for 56 Army
divisions, employed today in civilian gov
ernment service, according to statistics
compiled oy the Costello Committee of the
House.
“In submitting these statistics to Con
gress the Costello Committee recommend
ed last week that “Government must be
made to set the example’’ in hiring women
and older men and men with physical dis
abilities to replace draft age male workers
“Issuing a preliminary report on draft
eligibles among 2,307,166 Government em
ployees in 38 departments, agencies or bu
reaus, the House Military Affairs Sub
committee investigating draft deferment^
pointed out that 35 per cent of the total
personnel reported to date and 52 per
cent of the total male employees fall with
in the draft age classification.
“This committee contends that testi
mony has revealed a “definite failure’’ on
the part of either government or private
industry to train replacemv^nts for draft
eligible men. It reports finding that draft
boards outside the District of Columbia
have deferred a large number of draft eli
gible men “for no other reason than that
they work for the government.’’
“Referring to deferment of “morale”
builders, the committee declares that “the
easiest way to disrupt the morale of the
armed forces is for the men in service to
know that mi^n qualified for active service
are kept at home to stimulate or build up
morale.”
“All this bring? interrogative re-
ffanliig^ metliods of determining just
l^oin ii tfce cifflian Indispeifeable. If no
the enemy dest?oyea many ships
last year.
'The net lo^es, after building of new
ships was counted, was about one million
tons.
On the same day the headlines carried
the news that coal mine workers were go
ing on a strike for higher wages.
All of which goes to show that the peo
ple of the country need more patriotism.
And there are far too many people who
think the war is about all over except the
shouting and joyous home comings.
The grim part of the war still lies
ahead.
And it is time for personal sacrifices on
the part of every American.
Coal is vital to keep industry and the
shipyards in operation.
Yet a half million people who are mak
ing wages averaging about one dollar per
hour plan to walk out if they do not get
an extra two dollars per day.
When you or some member of your fam
ily is taken into the armed service, where
perhaps life will be the sacrifice, you are
told that your pay will begin at fifty dol
lars per month.
But at the same time can an organized
group of workers hold the entire nation up
for more mdney?
We ask, is this possible in a time of peril
to our nation?
If workers already highly paid can get
more money, so can the farmer and on

W.4S HER TURN
She had been in the city only a
few weeks and while she was get
ting along fine with her job at
the defense plant, after working
hours she was mighty lonely. One
night she dreamed that a big
brnte of a man came to her bed
side, picked her up, carried her
down to a chauffeur-driven car,
placed her in the back seat and
got in beside her.
They drove out into the country
and on a dark and lonely road the
car stopped. Finally, finding her
voice, the girl asked;

SCRA? AGAIN
(G. P. C. News)
Little has been said in a number of
months concerning salvage. That does not
mean that there is no longer a need to col
lect and turn in to production channels
this vital needed material. Collectors have
now caught up again with scrap collections
and it is again time to put on concerted
drives to make larger collections.
As production of war materials reaches
new peaks as it does each month, more
and more materials are needed to feed the
mills making planes, tanks, guns, ammuni
tion, etc. More collection means more ef
fort on the part of all the people.
It is time to organize community drive.^
for scrap iron and steel again. The sur
plus on junk yards from last fall’s cam
paign are now running low. There is a
great deal more to be collected. Someone
must hunt it up and make it available to
the junk dealer.
Fats are coming in slowly. Be sure to
save all your waste kitchen fats and turn
them in to the collection station. They
are made directly into explosives to blast
the Axis.
•With every person doing his bit to save
everything of value there will be little
waste and more salvage will be turned to
war channels. Do your part.

THE 2nd WAR LOAN DRIVE IS ON!

This War!
★★★★★★★★★★★
If we should lose the war, life would
not be worth living.
“But we won’t lose it,” you may say.
Listen, brother—in this world noth
ing’s sure, unless you make it so.
This month it’s up to us here at home
to do our part, and then some, to make
Victory surer—and quicker! To do it,
we’ve got to lend Uncle Sam 13 billion
extra dollars.
It isn’t easy—but war isn’t easy ami
Victory isn’t cheap. It takes money—
and more money—to buy planes, ships,
tanks, guns and a million other things
our boys must have to deliver that final,
paralyzing knockout punch.
And it’s a whale of a lot easier for us
at home to lend our money than for our
boys to fight through the hardships and
dangers of deserts, swamps, jungles, ice
fields and sub-infested seas!
Just think! Every extra bond you
buy will help provide the weapons to
save the lives of many American boys!
Isn’t that alone worth every effort, every
economy you can make? You bet it is.
There are 7 types of U. S. Government
securities to meet the needs of everv
purse. They offer the finest investment
in the world^liberal interest, plus secu
rities guaranteed by Uncle Sam himself.
A volunteer worker for the 2nd War
Loan Drive may visit you tomorrow.
Welcome this unselfish patriot—and
buy all the bonds you can. But don’t
wait for that call. Go—today—to your
bank investment dealer, broker, post of
fice or bond booth and invest to your ut
termost limit. EiVen if it hurts, it’s noth
ing compared to the agonizing impact of
a bayonet thrust, a flesh-tearing torpedo
fragment or a bone-crushing bullet.
So did deep, brother, and do it NOW!
