Give Once For All
Campaign to raise $12,000 for the
National War Fund and the Scout program
in Wilkes is under way.
We want to explain to the people that
the quota is large because so many or
ganizations are included. Instead of a call
every few days for donations to various re
lief and war funds, you are asked to give
this once, and liberally, for the support of
many combined.
Following is a list of organizations
which will share In the fund:
USO
United Seamen’s Service
War Prisoners Aid
Belgian War Relief Society
British War Relief Society
French Relief Fund
Friends of Luxembousg
Greek Wax Relief Association
Norwegian Relief
Polish War Relief
Queen Wilhelmina Fund
Russian War Relief
United China Relief
United Czechoslovak Relief
United Yugoslav Relief Fund
Refugee Relief Trustees
United States Committee fijr the
Care of European Children
Workers have been appointed to con
tact the people in every community. When
they call on you, give as liberally as you
can because many worthy causes are in
cluded.
truck production;
lians only get seven^f^^Se per
the farmers raise. ' ’ ,; \
Here is how the ;other twenty-five per
cent is divided: Thirteen per cent is re
served for our armed forces; ten per cent
is shipped to England, Russia and other
shortage areas tinder lend-lease; two per.
cent goes to Canada, Alaska and our
neighbors to the south.
The' point may be raised that as our
armed forces comprise only sheper cent of
the population, it doesn't seem reasonable
that they should be alloted 13 per cent of
our available food supplies. But a young,
hard-working soldier boy can use up a lot
of food. We want them to have all they
need and the best there is, and so long as
there is no waste there will be no com
plaint from any one in his right mind.
Our shipments of food and other sup
plies to hard-pressed allies abroad have
enabled them to stay in the war. Had they
been forced to quit for lack of the things
we spared them, we would now be fighting
the axis with no help whatever. That ten
per cent—stepped up from six per cent a
year ago—is a good investment.
As for the other two per cent—we
probably get more for it than we give. Our
imports of tropical fruits from Central and
South America alone will outweigh any
thing we send 1own there in the way of
food products.
We may have to do with, a little less than
we’ve been accustomed to for the dura
tion, but we won’t go hungry. The variety
may be lacking, but this is still a land of
plenty, and we are so much better off than
most other nations that we ought to be
ashamed to complain.

War Effort Appreciated
A question uppermost in the minds ni
many of us is “what do men m riie service
think of war efforts on the home front?’’
We have here before us a letter from a
soldier which should make every person
who has been active in the war effort feel
a sen.se of a job well done, and make every
home front slacker ashamed to loo'k a serv'-
ice man in the eye.
The letter Ls from Pvt. Jake L. Cox, who
lived in the Purlear community before en
tering the army, We quote part of his
letter as follows:
“I read the paper and see what the
people of North Wilkesboro have been
doing to help in the war. I just couldn’t^
help but tell you how I appreciate it.
You buy the guns and we will use them.
Thanks a lot to the high school for their
kind cooperatimi. We are all very proud
of North Wilkesboro”.
We are sending many papers to men in
lervice, and to every part of the world.
Next to news about their relatives and
friends back home to them are accounts of
good support for the war effort. That is
what the service men like to read. It builds
their morale.
They want to know that the people
back home, and the land they left behind,
are worth fighting^or, are worth dying for
if necessary.
The men in service want to come back
to people who supported them in their
struggle with the enemy. They don’t want
to come back to strikers and other types of
home front slackers. They want to come^
back to a people who love their country
and who with their efforts and means sup
ported the fighting men in their combat to
preserve American way of life.
TAKE JESUS WITH YOU
No man on earth can afford to be with
out Jesus, if he could but realize it, if he
has ever heard of Him. And of course the
millions who have never heard of our
Christ ought to hear of Him through us.
We ought to send missionaries into the
fields, and support them, that they may go
forth and tell all mankind about our bless
ed Savior.
But those of you who know about Jesii.s
can’t afford to be without Him. You need
Him as your Savior, Sanctifier and Keeper.
You need Him as your Leader and Guide
along life’s rugged and thorny pathway.
You need Je.sus every day, every hour,
every minute and every moment. You need
Him under all circumstances.
“Take the name of Jesus with you
As a shield from ev’ry snare;
When temptations round you gather.
Breathe that holy name in prayer’’.
WBANINO A lUBADER-:.. ,
We did a "good deed a few days
ago. We kept a fellow froin, be
ing the Isth reader of this col
umn, which would hare meant
that we would have had to shoot
one because we can’t have over
12, the maximum capacity.
While coming to work one
night, we picked up a young fel
low from an.adjoining county.
Conversation turned to what
kind of work each of us were do
ing. He told us that he lived on
farm and did farm work. He
said he didn’t go aronnd much.
We told him that we did news
paper work. The subject got
around to reading. We asked him
what he read.
He said he read a daily news
paper part of the time and that
his family took The Journal-Pa
triot, which he said was printed
in North Wilkesboro.
Remember, now, as we talked
we had not told each other our
names.
We told him that we had heard
of The Jouraal-Patriot, in fact,
had seen a few copies and read
some of them.
He said the paper was all right
and that he liked to read the col
umn by that fellow Nichols; said
it was very entertaining.
In. nediately we began to lec
ture him about reading, and the
type of stuff he should read. We
told him that the column he men
tioned stinks. That it is silly
stuff written l7y a person with a
half cracked mind, if any. We
further lectured him about wast
ing his time reading such trash.
The young fellow seemed to let
that soak in plenty and began to
hedge and apologize for reading
such a column.
“Well, you see it is like this. 1
live a long ways from my town
and on these long evenings I don’t
have any thing to do but read af
ter getting the outside work done.
I read everything in the house
and I guess that is why I have
read that column”.
We icontte.ue^--our lucture. say
ing that such a column was just
as bad as “pulp” magazines, and
for goodness sake for him to re
form’ his heading habits. Evi
dently impressed by our lecture,
he aaid he would.
We reached town, and he start
ed to get out. We had parked
near a street light Before jtet-
ting out he said he would like lo
know who had been so kind as .o
give him the lift and that he hod
enjoyed the conversation and good
advise about reading.
Then we stepped out of the cer
under the light. He took one look
and almost flopped. “What’s your
name?”, he asked bluntly.
With a mixed feeling of shame
at misleading the young fellow
temporarily, and amusement be
cause the old practical joke had
gone over so easily, «e handed
him a card with our name, news-
4>aper connections, etc., printed on
it.
He threw it down and ambled
away, muttering something almut
“damphool newspaper men”.
FEl.L hX)R OLD OXE—
Of course, it would be too much
of a coincidence to hope for, but
we ,would be very happy to know
that the young fellow could he
the same one who pulled the old
pocketbook joke on us one Sun
day afternoon a few years ago.
While driving along the high
way in an adjoining county we
saw a ladies’ pocketbook on the
pavement ahead. And the pocket-
book looked like it was full of
something. And when we say it
was a ladies’ pocketbook we
should say it looked like It was
full of everything. ’
We stopped, and with anticipa-

Take Jesus with you as you go forth
each day to your daily tasks and toils of
life. He can help you in a marvelous way
to discharge your duty. He can give you
strength. Look up to Him, pray to Him,
depend upon Him. Bring Him back with
you when your day’s work is finished.
Pray to Him, worship Him, praise and
adore Him as you lie down at night to rest
and sleep. Invite Him, beseech Him, to
w'atch over and keep you while you are
locked up in slumber. Depend upon Him to
ward off all evil and the mighty powers
of the enemy. Plead His precious blood
for protection. As the old song says,
“There is power in the blood”.
Take Jesus with you when the day is
bright and sunny, and take Him with you
when it is dark and cloudy. Take Him
with you in health and prosperity, and you
will have Him in sickness and adversity, .tion of lookiag over ihe contents
Go on no journey that you can’t take Jesus
with you. It is very dangerous to go where innocently and started to pick it
He w'on’t go, to be where He won’t stay, up
and to do what He won’t help you in.
Sometime ago one of my sons had a
wreck with his car. He was thrown from
the car, and miraculously escaped death
In his possession he had the 91.st Psalm
which I had copied and given to him. His
godly step-mother had presented him with
a little tag to which he had his keys fasten
ed, and on this tag was printed the words,
“Jesus Never Fails”. As he was losing
control of the car -he thought of these
words. He knew that Jesus doesn’t fail.
He escaped with minor injuries, but with
greater faith in Jesus than ever before,
and greater faith in this wonderful Psalm
as coming from God, promising His pro
tection to .us. Amen. Life’s better way is
to always take Jesus with us. He never
fails His children.

THE SHELF?
There aren't many Electric Irons
left, and there won't be any new
ones until after the war, so take
good care of the iron you now
have, A little attention now will
save you time and trouble later.
Here's How to Keep If Running!
• Keep the bottom of your electric iron
clean. Wait until iron is cool, then wipe
off with a damp doth. If necessary, use
supersuds or a mild scouring^ powder.
Wipe with a clean damp cloth after
wards. Never pot the iron in woter.
s Avoid ironing over buttons, hooks, zi|w
pers, or other hard articles.
s Avoid dropping the iron.
e Be sore Ihe irbn Is perfectly cold before
putting away.
• Replace the connecting cord when
necessary.
e Keep the cord away from hot iron.
eREMEAABER THIS: It's the contact of
hoot with the dampened garment that
removes wrinkles, not the pressure or
weight. So, don't weor yourself out
pressing down. Use a lightweight iron
and let the heat do the job.
