' MONDAY, SEPT, 13th, 1943 ScliooU At War— This week has been designated as “Schools At War Week”. In North Wilkesboro school Thursday the third war loan drive was launched by an. assembly program carried out by the student body council and speakers urged that the school continue, its record of last year, which rssulted in the school being- awarded the coveted Minute Men flag. What one school child can do in buying bonds and stamps is not much, but the col lective buying of millions represents a val uable contribution to war financing- What one student does in gathering scrap is little, but last year students gather ed a large percentage of the scrap turned in to keep the steel mills going and to has ten the defeat of the axis. Never be ddscouraged with the thought that what you can do is insignificant. Do what you can, and when what you have done is put with what others have done there is a real accomplishment of great magnitude. V Buy Bonds NOW— If you think we write too much about war bonds, consider the story of the new preacher who went to a church and for four consecutive weeks preached sermons on the subject of “Repentance”. Finally, a deacon approached him and kindly said that the people wanted to hear sermons on other subjects. “Why do you still preach On ‘Repentance’?”, he asked.. The simple reply was, “The people have not yet repented. As long as we write and urge the impor tance of buying w'ar bonds you may kiiow that there is need for buying war bonds. There is no risk in buying bonds. In fact, bond buyers are benefitting themselves be cause they are saving and accumulating money to use in later years. Your son, brother or friend on the bat tle front is risking his life; and he may lo.-^e it. ■ . , ^ You who are asked to help m the war ef fort by buying bonds will not lo.se any thing, and you are risking nothing. There should be no need of an urge to buy war bonds. Every person with money should see the need for w-ar financing and should rally 100 per cent to the nation’s call for money. “As long as they are dying you can t stop buying”. More Doctors In Uniform Representatives of the medical profes sion in conference with military authori ties have announced that 6,000 more doc tors’ are needed in the imemdiate future to serve the armed forces. The American Medical Journal, in explanation of the de mand for more doctors, says: “As the war continues and intensifies, new needs tor the Lrvices of the medical profession become apparent. An army in motion and one en gaged in the kind of aggressive combat that now concern, our armed forces needs :cS 'is wasting which are.nev^-uae^ ahy In so doing the more manpower than dnythffijg else It takes time to make . the complieated re- ports. Ask any merchant or business man. Ask the farmer what he thinks of the com- Ask the trucker what plicated reports, be has to do. . , And many small business fhms do not have people who can make the myriads of reports. That means they must hire some body to do it, and who can they get? • That forces them to worry over reporte at midnight, and when they send them in it is very lil^ySthat in a few days they will get them back with the notation that thej have failed to give the information “asked in item 13”. Right off some government man is go ing to read this and say: “That editor doesn’t understand”. —V- Borrowed Comnacnt IT IS MIDAS-LIKE (The Cleveland Times) Many are the housewives whose com plaints we have heard during the past few months, bemoaning the fact that they can not procure household help for love of money. All of which sets one to thinking. Are times so easy and money so plentiful that those who once did this work can live without employment? Certainly thase who employed them heretofore have to work as usual, even harder to meet advanced cost of living and to pay exceptionally higher taxes, not to mention patriotic purchases of war bonds and many a donation to war worthy charity- The situation is indeed a puzzling one. Recently a house-wife complained to the maid because of her absence the day be fore. The maid explained “that it rained yesterday and I stayed at home. The house-wife said: “That’s a bit funny, my husband went to work in the rain ye.ster- (iay he had to do so in order to make a living and to be able to pay you Saturday.” While a very small boy we used to hear a song that went in this wise: “ ’Taint no us o’ me working so. hard Cause I got a woman in the white folks’ yard She brings me meat and she brings me lard and sometimes a chicken from the white folks’ yard.” We can well understand how that song solved the problem of living in that other day but v.-ith “the woman gone from the white folks’ yard” we can hardly grapple the situation. To attempt to fathom it puts one immediately in the field of mysti- and there we must find a magic fi- cism nancial build-up that certainly is lending itself to an iindeniably'Utopian existence— it is the envy of us all, this Midas-like touch that transforms idleness into profit. Y'-~ i ^ "'S. • .’ll®' DWl^T et'jd n» brgov- BUl/BS, The m4ie of eromental burea^ is the sonree for many things .that riKhftnIly belong under the heading of "‘Ab normal Absurdities”. ' . In order to buy new farm eQuip- meut now, you've got to promise to lend it to neighbors if they need It. There was the case of a farmer trying to buy some chicken wire to fence off a lot in which t6 keep 1,200 chickens. When he came to the question in the application about would he be willing to lend the equipment which he intended to buy. He wrote In ‘‘NO”. So would we. Just imagine yeur predicament If you should^ have a chicken lot in which 1,200 bans were fenced in. Your neigh bor came and borrowed the wire, what would 1,200 hens dp to your other neighbor’s garden? And what would your other neighbor do to you? And thflVe was the wounded soldier in a field hospital on Guad alcanal who received a delayed letter from the Department of Agriculture saying that he was penalized $60 for growing too much wheat. And yet government bureau heads get hot under the collar when we poke fun at their silly regulations and orders, They can’t stand the gaff. They even quar rel among themselves, and some of them would be happy if they could muzzle the newspapers so their silly business would not be properly held up to public ridi cule. ii^mi [fresh, ghell efif lift Atod inAe ;Jhb#(T Tie !>««{ teii^»«tit>« ior ^r- ietireen 0 saggMta a IxiMb tkeei If Mptnt; phot Tdtrtm over ‘ Bidly, wml-''iAoto4 it Ofghint .U> iV|a>oi„.wdrf.^neancei t^y "by mWM degstMont. hdmber met it ha^tandM at itf fc«K in Ndttti Afcka, ■Pwn other memb^ of.the criw were woujjd- ed on the’'same ntission-i^I^itmV ant T.

AN ANSWER SOFT An answer soft when things go wrong Will do a lot of good; ’Twill put within your heart a song. Though you’re misunderstood; For God will use the kindly word With which to settle strife. And bring to naught what you have heard That might defeat your life. ESSAY O.V X.AILS— A few weeks ago we stated that we would try to write 200 words on any subject given us. One d:iy last week a lady on the street gave us a present. It was a rusty nail about one and one-half inches in length. She had pick ed It up on the street to keep it from going info somebody’s tire. •Kwairf -write aw?-i^ay on nails”, she “said. “Well. I should be able to’ pay my respect to nails. A service station man at this very instant is hunting for a nail in one of. my precious tires", was our reply. There are nails—and there ar-i nails. When you need a nail around tlie house you could not find one with a whole batallion in la searching party. Easiest way we know to find a nail is to drive your car with thin tires. The tire will first find the nail and pick it up, then you can after so long a time find the nail in the tire. When you pick up nails wii,h tires, the said tires have a habit of becoming flat on the bottom, and no matter how much the wheel is turned the fk.it place re mains oil the bottom. Else where it retains about its normal shape. In case you ever find a nail ly ing around without using a tire to pick it up, it is a good idea to pick up said nail with your fingers and put it where a tire can't find it. Having fulfilled our obligation to write am essay on “Nails”, we’ll quit writing long enough to go see if our tires have found any more nails. An answer soft w'hen under fire Of Satan’s awful rage May peace within .someone inspire And make of him a sage, By show’ing him what God can do To conquer all that’s bad. And make him kind and gentle, too. When wrong would keep him mad. r.k.v«cians in even greater number than heretofore been demanded.

Although you’ve had no praise: Yet great it is to know you’ve built By slow and sure degrees. And in great trials fe.el no guilt, While others fall by these.
