The War and the Press
Throughout the country newspapers
have placed the cause of victory first and
foremost in their business.
And it has been our policy since the be
ginning of the national emergency to put
the nation’s cause first in little things as
well as the most important parts of pub
lishing a netvspaper.
And it is gratifying to find tnat some
persons are willing to recognize services oi
Newspapers to the country.
The recent War Finance Campaign was
an instance of newspapers rendering im
portant service. We notice that every
newspaper which has reached our desk,
and they have been numerous, has con
tributed space to the urge to put the cam
paign! over.
And upon completion of the compaign,
we were glad to receive from Hugh Leach,
chairman, United States Treasury War
Finance Committee for the Fifth Federal
Reserve District, Richmond, Va., the fol
lowing personal letter to this newspaper:
“As you know, the United States Treas
ury’s Second War Loan campaign in April
was a complete success. Filial figures are
not yet available, but it is now evident th.it
the Fifth Federal Reserve District’s quota
than commercial banks has already been
exceeded by fifty per cent.
“These excellent results were due in
large measure to the energetic support of
the press. I wish, therefore, to convey to
you my most sincere thanks for the splend
id cooperation that you and your organi
zation gave throughout the campaign.
’’Your generous assistance was most
helpful not only in selling an unprecedent
ed amount of Government securities but al
so in securing that wide distribution which
is so essential to the economic stability of
the country. While the people of the en>
tire district responded beyond our expecta
tions in this Second Drive, and the number
of sales was larger than in December, it is
quite apparent that it will be necessary for
us to reach an even larger number of indi
viduals during the next campaign.”
And no less appreciated was the fbllow-
ing letter from our good friend, John Paul
Lucas, Jr., df Charlotte, North Carolina di
rector of Information for the Second War
Loan Campaign:
“The splendid standing of North Caro
lina in the Second War Loan Drive is itself
the best evidence of the wonderfully co
operative job accomplished by our news
papers and other news agencies. If any
thing, I believe newspaper backing of the
campaign exceeded that given your wholly
newspaper-sponsored and entirely success
ful Scrap Drive last year.
“It has been my privilege to thank a
number of you personally for your splendid
assistance in the campaign. Let me here
express to all of you the appreciation of
the War Finance Committee for your part
in this important phase of the war,
“Congratulations on a job well done—
an assignment which when it comes again
is assured of success with your continued
enthusiasm and support.”

A HIGH ACHIEVEMENT
(Winston-Salem Journal)
The publication of a 72-page special edi
tion of any kind by a small city North
Carolina weekly or semi-weekly is a re
markable achievement from the purely me
chanical standpoint. When ati edition of
this size is also replete with accurate, well
illustrated and interesting news and special
articles relating to a timely and vitally im
portant topic, the achievement becomes
truly distinctive.
The Journal-Patriot, of North Wilkes-
boro, has accomplished such a feat in its
“Food-For-Freedom” edition for Thurs
day, May 6. This edition, of which 5,100
copies have been printed and circulated,
touches upon every phase of the war food
campaign in “the State of Wilkes, giving
many striking facts pertaining to the pro
gress of apple growing, dairying, poultry
raising and other progressive food farming
movements in the county which have re
ceived new impetus under war pressures.
The advice and suggestions of acknowledg
ed authorities in the fields of agriculture
and home-making appear alongside the rec
ords of Wilkes’ achievements to round out
one of the most invaluable special editions
from the practical standpoint to be pub
lished by a North Carolina newspaper.
One of the bjest feature stories of the
entire edition is Dwight Nichols’ article on
the Champion Poultry Farm which has a
chicken population of over 60,000, pro
duces 16,000 eggs a day, and is the largest
poultry farm in the South. Wilkes is the-
leading poultry producing county in North
Carolina. /'

Just in the nick of time, the
rabbits dodged into a hollow log.
One asked: ‘‘Whet will we do

■‘We’ll stay here until we out

The teacher asked the smart

AN ILL WILL
No man can be right in heart who har
bors an ill will toward another. Such is
unfit to live by and dangerous to die by. It
will rob one of his God-given peace and
joy on earth and keep him out of heaven
when he leaves this world. O that we
might impress this solemn truth upon the
minds and hearts of our readers! Perhaps
you have never thought of the seriousness
of it Think of it now. An ill will toward
someone else means that you do not love
him; that you have hatred in your heart
toward him, or to some degrees at least;
that you would like to get revenge, or
would be pleased to see vengeance dealt
out to him; that there is a hateful feeling in
your heart toward him and you had rather
see him sink than swim, fall than rise.
Well, this is dangerous. You may never
do your fellowman any harm whatsoever,
but if you carry an ill will toward him in
your breast it will keep you out of the
kingdom of heaven, and that is enough to
prove the seriousness of it. He may get
to heaven while you will be shut out.
No doubt an ill will in the heart to
ward another has caused much trouble. It
has caused murder. Certainly. In fact
when a rqan wilfully plans, aims and pur
poses in his heart to kill someone, that
means he has an ill will toward him. How
wicked! Such an ill will is to be repented
of and given up, or life will be unhappy,
and will be a failure. No man can enjoy
the good things of God in his heart and
soul if he carries an ill will toward ano
ther. Surely it will cast a shadow over his
life. It will becloud his conscience. It will
keep him from rising and 'clipibiftg along
life’s better way.
What if you have been mistreated* by
someone else? If you have been lied upon,
or have suffered injustice at the hands of
another! What if someone else has done
you a great wrong, and has caused you
much trouble and heartache? Will it help
you to carry in your inmost life an ill will
toward him? Would you be satisfied, and
receive a blessing, if you could get ven-
gence? Never. What God wants you to
do is to have so much of His marvelous lova
and grace in your heait>nd soul that you
will love everybody, do good for evil, and
keep the sweetness of heaven filling and
thrilling your inmost'and o^ter life. Amen
This i$ life’A better way..,-Hallelujah! ^
