Speaker Says Navy Is Our
Bulwark Of Freedom
Mightiest Factor In War
North Wilkesboro Kiwanis club
thoroughly enjoyed a* Navy Day
program Friday noon.
Program Chairman Sidney
Crane asked the club to sing the
following songs as a part of his
program in celebration of Navy
Day: "Anchors Awelgh”, and
"Etenual Father, Strong to Save"
He then presented Judge Johnson
Hayes, who made a very effective
and Interesting talk on ‘’The Navy.
Our Shield and Buckler”. He said
onr navy now has more than 2.-
000.000 personnel, that we have
more sea planes than ships, there
being 15.000 ships ond IS.OOo
planes. In addition there are sii!:-
marines and other sea goi'ij;
equipment.
The speaker said we are proud
of our Navy and justly so. It is
oar bulwark of freedom. The
navy is and will continue to be a
consideration in the p&ace to lie
written. U will be the navy ii.
the days ahead that will determin*'
whether the peace that will he
concluded will be enforced: there
fore we owe great allegiance ;.o
our navy.
Judge Hayes said in order for
us to have lasting peace, we must
recognize the rights of others; we
must leave off our own selfish
ness as such is not divine. W**
need not expect world peace tJ
come cheap. Only God knows how
much more we shall pay in means
and blood Itself for victory and
then the peace; but we shall con
fidently look to that end.
The matter of sponsoring a J
Scout troop in the Woodlawn sec
tion was bfought up .from the dl
rectors meeting Where It had been
approved and was presented to
