THURSDAY, SEPT. 9, 1943 Ben Sronce In the death of Ben Sronce, editor of the Statesville Daily and Lf.ndmark, North Carolina lost one of its most able editors. With a style all his own, Ben wrote hundreds of editorials for newspapers in North Carolina, serving for several years as editor of the Wilkes Patriot in North Wilkesboro. While in Wilkes Editor Sronce contact ed thousands of people, and gained many lasting friendships. Since leaving North Wilkesboro Mr. Sronce for several years was editor of the above named Statesville papers, which he served until his sudden death Sunday. There he had sufficient time to devote to the editorial desk and his editorials were widely read. This n,ewspaper joins with the others of the state in commending the work and record of Editor Ben Sronce in the news paper field. V * Loafing 4-F’ers The work or fight program was all right as far as it went, but it did not go far enough. One fault with the program is that a groat many of the persons who are not working regularly have already been re jected by the armed services. They are armed with 4-F classification cards and because they have been to the induction center and have been rejected they con.sider that they have done their part for the nation in its hour of peril- Many of those rejected have only minor physical defects which would in no way keep them from carrying on a gainful oc cupation and thus aiding in the war effort. And many others who perhaps are in good physical condition have been reject ed becau.se they were not up to required standards of education and literacy. A great majority of the loafers, drunks, trouble makers and idlers have been re jected for the armed forces and a “work or fight” threat means nothing to them be cause they have already been classed as unfit for military duty. It has long been our contention that when a person is called for examination for military service that it should mean service to the nation in some valuable ca pacity. If the person called is unfit for military service, then compel that person to do something essential in the war effort. If that were carried out, there wouhi not be so much value placed on the 4-F card by rejectees. Buy Bonds Now Today marks the official opening of the Third War Loan campaign. Bringing the subject home. Wilkes peo ple are asked to purchase $1,169,000 in government bonds during the brief cam- paign. . Nationally speaking, the quota is fifteen billion dollars. A few rich people cannot buy enough bonds to make the desired amount. It means that everybody with any money in amounts from $18.75 up must join m the buying. All the- available money from all the millionaires would not be sufficient. It is going to take the money of the aver age man. the wag. and salary earner, to raise the quota. It can’t be done by “Letting George Do It ' ^orge does not have enough money.

Borrowed Coihment Cycle News Items Of the Past Week FATHERS RESENT IMPUTA-HON (Charlotte Observer) Those in man-power authority in Wash ington, and on down through the states, continue to insist that fathers who are not engaged in work regarded and classified as essential to the winning of the war should hurry and change their occupations into one of these categories if they ^pect to evade the draft. And that’s the catch in the schema. American fathers, as a general rule, have the honorable and actual self-respect ing approach to this opportunity. They resent the idea of “evading mili tary services by this method. The suggestion is obnoxious to them. It looks as if they would be running out on their country in the emergency. They fear that they might inherit the public branding of being slackers and that’s re pulsive to them as well as the condemna tion they would visit upon themselves. Of course, as a matter of actual fact, it would not be like that. Many of the iridustrfek essential tfe prosecution of the war are in desperate need of the services of competent labor and there are, of course, hundreds of thousands of men with the fatherly status who, not , now employed in these so-called essential industries, could be better serving their country during ^e crisis in such war work than would be the case if they were in uni form. But there is a wholesome tinge to the hostile reactions which^ they are feeling about the matter. Any .suggestion that they are built of turncoat stuff is anathema to these normal .-American men. —V AKVEL DYER WBITB8— Arvel Dyer, • a popular young man 'who used to work about towh here and who is now a yeoman first class and stationed at Pun- go, Va., writes as follows: Dear Dwight: “Just a few works to let you know we enjoy getting The Jour nal-Patriot, and especially the column ‘Abnormial Absurdities’.

Through your home is one you’ve rented And your burdens but increase, Vou are better off than many Who have money, wealth and ease, But in soul they haven’t any Of such blessings rare like these. “■yoirre an un- kxfav each other— k'lrst Lawyer: “You’re a low- down cheat!’’ Second Lawyer: mitigated liar!” Judge (napping): ‘‘Now that the attorneys have Identfied each other we shall proceed with th* ease.’’ ’Tis not what a man possesses Of the treasures of the world, Neither what he thinks and guesses To be pleasure’s richest pearl, That will make him happy-hearted, Nor his life a blessing here. But it's what he has imparted To his soul that gives him cheer. Sweet contentment, then, and pleasure Is within and not without, * Which is quite a gracious treasure Multitudes should know about, Who are hunting, seeking, searching For the satisfying goal, While ti evils are besmirching Heart and conscience, mind and soul. If you gratify your passions Such will only give you woe; If you seek the world’s vain> fashions You will never, never know What it is* to have the blessing Of contentment for your mind.
