Johnston, Wilkes' number 1 hero in World War num ber 2 to date. We honor Captain Johnston as being exemplar of the finest traditions of Wilkes county in every fight for freedom, liberty and justice. Although his accomplish ments have been many, there are others whose bravely and courage cannot be challenged, and these words we use also for their commendation. Captain Johnston did not wait for the draft He left an executive position here in business and volunteered his services to the army air corps, which is no bed of roses and where-danger is always present. He was sent to the South Pacific area when the Japs definitely had air suprema cy, and he was one of the many American airmen who trimmed the Jap air force down to their size and below. The Japs were stopped intheir march of conquest by such young Americans as Captain Johnston, and the Japs will be defeated by the same type of men, courageous and unconquerable. North Wilkesboro and all Wilkes county should' appropriately honor Captain John ston and let that honor also apply to the many, many other young men who have gone out from this grand old county to bold up its glorious reputation in strug gles for freedom, not only for our own people, but for the oppressed peoples of all the earth, wherever they may be. V Work Or Fight— Not nearly enough attention has been paid in Wilkes to the work or fight cam paign instituted in North Carolina by Governor Broughton. It was estimated in a meeting held Mon day night that there are 500 people in Wilkes who are not working and who should work. Someone may ask: “Who are they and where are they?” This number would in clude the perpetual loafers, some who could take jobs but have never given it se rious thought, and some who have money and means and have not thought of the necessity of working as a patriotic duty to the nation in its crisis. Men and women shotfld work now not alone because of necessity, but because the nation needs their v'ork. To aid the war effAi; it is not necessary to build planes, make tanks, munitions or ammunition. To produce food or other es sential material is just as much help be cause all must be done. A big army, well equipped and well trained would be helpless without food, all the food you could produce for the army would be of no war time value unless that army was equipped. ^ If you are not gainfully employed at home or with some employer, it is high time that you begin working, regardless of whether or not you need the money to be derived from working cUB^jgTBWlve. jpfr.BcmiJ in JIWI. fsf pouhd, , ta^o^. ^ejec^d oa ^ _ crofi,^ lus you reinember^ jmd prl^ that year avetageji l^r m con^red «*h 22l3twiS |ier 1933 and 28 cehfti per pound In 1987. ® ,cco growers to go SatitftJay an#^|^ tu W^^Ulf*#8« ^8C the polIing‘^l»c^ 8a Ueoteiaut General Lesley Jamf^ ,Mc Nair, cohuHauder.of Qrouad Trooph te^he UnitOd States, ilf,p|nded while visitmi the African frdht,!had the hllbwing to s»y of Amerieidi do^».lnJibat iCene of aot^h* “The medical service hrai ^perb-i- I l^ow at firsthand the speed and efficiency with which they worked. I was wounddd at 2:80 in the afternoon;-Within ten rainui^s theyj had me at a Battalion Aid §|^on. There two medical officers'pht a feurhiquet^oh my shoulder to stop Ihe ble^ing, bandag ed me, fixed me up so I could be taken to the rear. I went from there in a jeep to the Division Clearing Station, where they gave me blood plasma and checked my dress ing. They put me on a litter in an ambu lance and started me farther to the rear.. At 6:30, only three hours later, I was in_a field hospital, had been treated twice, had had X-ray taken, and was ready to be operated on. That evening I came to in a warm bed, with no after effects from the operation ^ . . I didn’t get this sort of treatment because I was a general officer. Bock privates were getting the same care. The medical men who attended General McNair in Africa were merely civilian doc tors not many months ago following rou tine medical practices at home. The ser vice which they are now rendering to the troops—general and private alike—^they were then rendering to civilians. On the military front, as on the home front, these medical men knew only one kind of ser vice—^the best possible. That is the tra dition in which they have been trained. _v -A SBB WlfiflTVO is, ncip >rdE# wli ' * i itiiteich All Powerful “There is one common characteristic of totalitarian states no matter by what name they are called,” says Edwin Vennard. “The government both operates and regu lates business enterprise. When .,. . man agement of the machinery of production is thus vested in the govemmen*^ the m«Ba- ger becomes his own regulator — he be comes his own auditor, so to speak—and no opportunity is afforded for considering the interest of the people. Under such a society any complaint against the mana ger can be registered only with the mana ger. No impartial consideration is possi ble. The economic freedom of the people is lost. Once this is lost, the loss of other freedoms is a most natural consequence. V- poinatb tatedlng th tiw NSW* aad.M>MrT«r,'' ..

While her car lurched .and rocked along what, they caU a road but ahouM be called a trail, It suddenly came to an abrupt stop and would go In neither di rection. Along came a oar, in which were riding a preacher and his family. He told Mrs. Lott that' he did not have time to help her, that he was late for preaching, but if she would come along and go to church that he wotil^ help her af ter the service. She went. After two hours the service came to an end, as all good things do, and the preacher announced Mrs. Loft’s difficulty. The men folks of the congre- gatlofl went and lifted the car off the stiimp. But then it was too late to find any bean pickers. BOSS DID IT— The editor may have the last word as to what goes into a news paper, but his boss may have the last act, which is more important than the last word. We had no part in putting that ghastly picture on the front page Monday. The boss did it. And speaking of pictures re minds us of some comment made by Mrs. C. L.

Kair. If you are troubled with a few lairge weeds and cockleburs in the com, it might pay you to pull these out, ^ as this would disturb the com less than the plowing would. In ex treme cases, where grass is about to overcome the com, it is some times necssary to plow it with a turning plow. This cuts lots of roots and should have been done earlier.
