MONDAY, JULY 12, 1943 Canning Important it is gratifying to learn that the Wilkes county board of commissioners recognize the need of promoting conservation of food and has employed a lady to assist the home agent in canning demonstrations an(^ in carrying out other helps for housewives. The board employed Mrs. Mabel Smith- ey for a period of six weeks, and she will assist the home agent, Mrs. Annie. H. Greene, in showing and teaching people the best methods of food canning and dry ing. It is very important that a maximum of food be canned and dried in homes this year. ^ There will be no food to waste, and now is the time to preserve it for further use. Lives—The Price Of Strikes Many people have not realized the full threat to the war effort that attaches to labor trouble in the coal mines. In 1943 it is estimated that upward of 100,000,000 tons of coal will be chemically utilized. Coal derivatives are used in explosives, plastics, the priceless sulfa drugs, solvents, food preservatives, insecticides, fertilizers, lacquers, rubber, nylon and hundreds of other vital war materials. Total demands for coal have grown to astronomical proportions. Prior to work stoppages in the mines, the industry was endeaving to meet all demands placed up on it. It was sucpeding. Now it remains to be seen whether there will be a coal shortage. No power on earth will be able to bring back the lives of the service men who may be lost because of any shortage. . Men’s lives are the price of strikes in war time. Second Front Perhaps you have heard of this subject before, or maybe have seen it in print. With the pressure again hard on Rus sia, the Allied peoples are clamoring for a second front in Europe. Like others, we would like to hear the news of a second front being successfully opened, but we are willing to trust to the judgment of our military leaders as to when and where. And little does the average man realize how much must be done in preparations for invasion. Many think that it is a mat ter of loading some men on ships and land ing them on enemy territory to defeat the enemy. Let jt be remembered that any force landed if successful will have to be su perior in ability and equipment over the forces which are to be conquered. The State Magazine last week carried the following editorial on the Second Front subject: • . . .u “Since the triumphant conclusion of the campaign in Tunisia there has been little ground action of any consequences in the various theatres of war. Principal action has been in the air, with the Axis powers getting decidedly the worse of the fight- **There has been much impatient de mand for the opening of a second front in Europe. Occasional statements have been iaaued by Stalin, urging that this front be eateblished, in order that the pressure on the Russian front might be relieved. Here, in this country, people are wondering why an effort hasn’t been made toward open ing a second front. ^ _ “We were talking to an Army officer recently and the subject of a second front came up- “People fail to realize,” he said, ^“that when action terainates on one front » planned to open up a campaign in toritorL an immense amount of pre- must take place. It would >>« foUv io OP«» »P a second front in ^ mttil the toAders of our forces knew exactljr what they,,werej^ing to^do how they V®*® to do it.

The strikes in the coal mines were undoubtedly his favoffte story and the other strikes and threats of strikes also made juicy tidbits for his reading. Imagine how thrilled we would be if we read that all German coal miners had stopped wosk or if we read that some of Hitler’s prize munition factories had clos ed down because of strikes or that German munition manufacturing was slowed up because of absenteeism. It is true that Hitler has had plenty of bad news to read lately too —- headlines about our plans to build 100,000 planes in a year, headlines about paralyzing raids on his factories and headlines about Allied victories hfrover the world. But to win this war quickly we must give Hitler nothing but bad news. In his present mood of grabbing at every straw, a strike, a riot or a slow-down in America means new hope and new morale in Ger many. LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E. ISENHOUR, Hiddenite, N. C.

It all started when an unidentl- i fled non-commissioned office* pro-1 tested to the army newspaper! Stars and Stripes. His complaint was that "most major officers' above the rank of first lleuten- j ant" do not salute properly. The j non-com contended that most of i of them brushed off enlisted men with a flabby gesture In which the saluting hand looks “like bent fork.” Elsenhower commend ed these “soldierly observations” in another letter to Stars and Stripes. And he said he hoped this Incident would serve to Im prove the situation.

(Based on actual sales records in Post Etriiangra and Caniifait,) A PLACE FOR EVERY MAN God has a place for every man. It is true that the great majority of men never yield themselves to God, nor fill the place they should in His vineyard, but that is not God’s fault. It is theirs. On the other hand, the devil has a place for all men who will yield their lives unto him and serve him. He will enable them to make drunkards, and fill the place of a drunkard. He will make of them liars, rogues, rascals, idlers, adulterers. He will place them in positions to do much harm to themselves and to their fellows. The devil will use a man’s education in a de structive way, likeW!^ his talents, his time aim his means, will take the golden opportunities that God gives men and caqse them to let them slip by, and in their place bring that which is cursed. The devil has multitudes of places he wants filled by as many men. His places are always evil, wicked, mean and damnable. Will, you fill a place for him, or for God? It is up to you. The devil would have you waste your life, and in the end fill a place in hell; but God would have you save your life, and fill a place for men’s good and His gtory, and at the end of life here.give you a place in His heavenly kingdom. It is up to you. He knows the way you take^ He knows the road you travel. The way upward is open to you, which is made possible by God. The way downward is likewise open, made possible by the devil. Which way do you take? ■' O that every man would fill' a place for God! What a wonderful world this would then be! However, we linow that all men ate not going to fill a place for God, but He gives them the opportunity, or would have you and me present to them the op portunity. You may not be capable of filling a great place for the Lord, but you can fill a little place. You can be a good man, a good woman, pray and do good. You can walk uprightly before God and man, and thus wield an influence that’ is commendable, and that blesses pthei^. You can give of your earnings, though they be small, to the cause of God and He will use them to the good of jnankind and to His glory* You caii live a useful life for God. There is>a place for you to fill that will oiake life worth while and you'ot heaven at last. ,^iU you fill it? “A WORD TO THE WISE HAS BEEN SUFFICIENT”! • Have You Heeded Our Message to Take From Your Car or Truck OUR BEE-UNE OUTFIT WILL DO THE JOB RIGHT FOR YOU Your present car or truck is “your fortune”', so to speak.
