MO?*DAY, AUG. 21«t, 1944 Rendezvous Park It is with interest that we note the news item appearing in this newspaper to the effect that Rendezvous Mountain state park may be further developed as a scenic attraction. For the benefit of those who have not previously been informed, let us state that Rendezvous Mountain, located about three miles from Purlear postoffice ten miles west of this city, is rich in historic lore. It was on the summit of that mountain that Col. Ben Cleveland gathered patriots to march to Kings Mountain and overthrow the English forces there in the turning bat tle of the American revolution. That is the principal historic fact, and of such importance that the mountain should be a historic shrine, a perpetual monument to the bravery of our forefathers who fought to secure the freedom that our men of today are so valiantly defending. Twelve years ago the late Judge T. B. Finley donated to the State of North Caro lina 100 acres on top of Rendezvous moun tain to be used as a state park^ and the state constructed a road from highway 421 near Purlear to the top of the mountain. On top of the mountain is a fire tower. Near the top are some wonderful mountain springs with crystal clear and cold water. It is ideal for a recreation spot, and as such should be fully developed after the end of the war. Public spirited people here should not neglect this matter, and should use their influence and efforts to make of Rendez vous Mountain state park a real scenic at traction and advertise it as such to the world. Another Front Hitler is now forced to fight on four fronts in Europe. Last week allied forces landed on the southern coast of France and have been making good headw'ay against the nazis in that sector. The southern France front makes four fronts over which Hitler must spread his tired and dwindling forces. The Russians continue their gains on the eastern border of Germany proper, and in France Allied forces which landed in Normandy are real ly going places. In Italy allied forces con tinue to drive the nazis further north. The end of the European war may come soon, possibly in the fall or early fall, or it may go on over several months yet. But even the most optimistic cannot see the end of the war in the very near future. The military might of Japan has yet to be destroyed, regardless of the plight of Ger many at the present time, and those who are supposed to know more about the Japs than we know predict that it will be a mat ter of extermination of the Japanese mili- tar>’ forces. Thus it behooves us on the home front to do everything possible to aid the war ef fort. A slackening now could prolong the war and make it cost us much more in lives of our men.' Foreign Relief Agencies The following article is released for pub lication here by J. B. Williams, publicity director of the United War Fund campaign , in Wilkes county: From a great many persons—entirely too many, to my way of thinking—we have had this expression; “People in our county are not interested In all these foreign relief agencies, and they won’t give to them”. ■ * The purpose of this article is to give you a few reasons why people should be urged ^ to give to foreign relief agencies. [ 1. Every handful of rice provided for ^China; every spoonful of cod-liver oil sent ^ 4o Greece; every article of clothing sent to Russia' Just sfrengtheias our hands at the Peace Table. , ^ 2. The people of the United States are not by themselves, “playing Santa Claus to the rest of the world”.. Eight shiploads, of wheat go to Greece every month. Four of those ships are loaded with wheat which is the gift of the people of Canada. Sweden has for four years been taking care of thousands of helpless refugees from Norway. For that long, Sweden has provid ed every bit of food eaten by 100,000 Nor wegian children. Within the last she months there has been opened in Oslo, Nor way, a great hospital: built by the people of Sweden, operated at the expense of the people of Sweden; staffed throughout by Swedish doctors and nurses. 3. Considenng the debt which we owe some people of the world, relief for them now is only right and decent. I do not mean the debt we owe to China for bolding off Japan for seven years at the cost of 70,- 000,000 dead. I do not mean this: At the end of World War I we had a “War Chest” similar to our National War Fund. We asked China for $100,000. She sent us her check for 14 times that amount. When the flood of 1937 took such a terrific toll of lives and property in the Ohio River Val ley, China sent us, through Internationa! Red Cross, more money than any nation in the world, outside of Canada. 4. To the person who says, “We don’t need any friends at the Peace Table. We’ll have the greatest Navy and Air Force in the world and can force the kind of peace we want”. I’d ask, “Do you want another World War, more terrible than this one, in 25 years?” Just remember this: The roots of Fas cism and War are in the empty bellies and naked bodies of the world.

THE OUTCOME Men do not rise by doing wrong As many think they can: Nor do they sing the victor’s song If they don’t act the man; For there’s a way that’s always right And this will bring success; And there’s a way that leads to blight. Defeat, and to distress. It’s how we live and how we act That brings us to our goal— To heaven as a final fact When angels call the ‘roll; Or to remorse and pain and woe When ends our earthly race. Where faithless, aimless sinners go To take their awful place. Then let us live and act the man With purpose that’s sublime; Yea, fit our lives into the plan That leads to heavens’ clime. So we shall be a blessing here And honor God beside, And leave a life to lift and cheer When we with Christ abide. We give you this poem from our pen, dear reader, with, the hope and prayer that its gracious truth may prove a blessing to your life. Realize that the outcome of every man’s life is according to how he spends it. If we would end life in the triumphs of faith, peace, joy, salvation, victory, hap piness and eternal success, then we must live for God as we journey through life. This is reasonable and right. Men who make the most of life are men who live the best. This is a fact that no one can gainsay or doubt. Men who make the greatest failure in life are men who live the worst. There is always an outcome to the way we live. Sin or righteousness brings us to an end. Sin to a ve^ bad end; righteousne.ss to a good end. Even sin or righteousness has its outcome along our journey of life before we reach life’s close. Some weeks ago our county was shocked by a youth of fifteen or sixteen who shot and instantly killed a policeman in Taylorsville. The boy had stolen a pistol, and perhaps something else, and the officers of the law were on the lookout for him. When this good po liceman started to arrest him, even treated him kind and nice, he shot him dead on the spot. It was on Sunday. If this boy had been in Sunday school and church where he should have been, as well as all our young people, and older folks, too, as for that matter, he would have saved himself of this horrible crime. It is indeed a very bad start in early life to leave God out and go into evil, sin and wickedness. The out come is always remorseful. Life’s better way is that of taking Christ into the life and following in His steps. Amen. OUR STANB Receutlr the author of this column has hera questioned by famone personaKea on rltally lai-^ portant problema. Tlie question naire sent ug was probably sent to other Infamous characters In or der to get a double cross section of opinion, both public and iwlyate. One of the questions asked was “Do you favor peace?”, and our answer Is, “Yea, If we have to Hck the whole word to get It”. The next question was: “Do you favor an international alliance to Insure peace?” Tes, and we go one better, we favor a force of all nations banded together to prevent an invasion by men from Mars, as Orson Wells portrayed. Not that ft will ever happen, but you know you gotta be in fs.vor of something, or agin’ It. "Do you believe In the under ground movement?” was the next question in order. "We most cer tainly do, providing the one do ing the moving underground are the yellow bellied Japs and we do mean six feet under. The next momentous question was: “Should a man with a long beard sleep with Lis beard under or on top of the blankets?” A question of such Importance should not be answered without adequate study, because we wouldn’t want to make a mistake, and the answer Is deferred until a later date. SMAUIj tax,k— One soldier said he got deco rated In the service. The sergeant crowned him twice. . . . One night we dreamed of eating flannel cakes and woke up to find the blanket was gone. ... In answer to a question during a medical examination about whether or not he had had diptherla, scarlet fever, or tuberculosis, a man said he hadn’t had any of that stuff but he had had a half year In geome try. ... A scientist says singing warms the blood. Some of it makes your blood boil. thibteienth reader— Several people have timidly claimed to be the 13th reader of this column. A young lady In Wllkssboro said she Is the 13 th reader but threatened us with a damage suit if we told. SMAliUER TAUK— Isn’t it peculiar that the man who is always mairing fun of his home town never moves any other place? . . . The quickest way for a doctor to lose a patient is to tell her It was only a minor operation. . . . Remember the good old days when the only gas trouble you had could be cured with a spoon ful of bicarbonate of soda? . . . If some men were paid what they were worth it wouldn’t keep them In cigars. . . . An excitable old farmer was driving home from town. In descending a hill the horse stumbled and fell, and either could not or would not ge’ to his feet, again. At last the farmer bawled savagely; "Dang yer hide, git up thar, or I’ll drive smack over ye”. . . . One of our friends who always likes to be an optimist says his traffic congestion isn’t so bad. So far in 1944 his mother- in-law has only visited him once instead of three times. N. S.
