THURSDAY, AUG. 15, 1946 »#»»*» * Splendid Committees J. B. Williams, president of the Wilkes Chamber of Commerce, has announced a number of committee appointments for the ensuing year. The committees appointed will work mainly on the 11 major objectives of the Chamber of Commerce for the remainder of this year. There will be other commit tees on a more extended program of work. In order to function properly and get the desired results, the committees must have the support of the membership of the Chamber. A committee not backed by the membership can do little effective work. In the final analysis, a Chamber of Commerce is a central organization through which the public spirited people can channel their efforts for the welfare and progress of the community and coun ty. The organization can be no more ef fective than its membership. It represents a medium for cooperative action, corre lating the efforts of the membership into a powerful force. —o. Prisoners Killed By Order Forty-three Nazi veterans have been doomed to die for participating in the slaughter of 900 American prisoners of war and Belgian civilians during the Bat tle of the Bulge. In addition, thirty other defendants, in cluding three generals, were given long prison terms. The people of this countrj’ should un derstand the nature of the crime for which these men have been convicted. They murdered, as a matter of policy, captured American soldiers and killed civilians in a program of terrorism de signed to assist the military effort. It should not be overlooked that in ev ery war there are some instances of un justifiable killing of prisoners of war. Such incidents usually happen in the heat of combat, being committed by men who have witnessed the death of their com rades. Under such circumstances, it oc casionally occurs that soldiers commit acts in violation of the rules of war. The German crime was of a more seri ous nature in that the execution repre sented a part of a policy of the High Com mand and the execution of prisoners was deliberately planned before the battle. No “anger” in the heat of battle caused the death of the American soldiers. Another School Year On Monday the schools of the Wildes system will begin another nine months term. As in the past several years, the schools will operate under great handicaps. Build ings are hopelessly crowded, many of the buses are worn out, and roads will become impassable in the wet weather of winter, there is a teacher shortage and there are other unfavorable factors. But it is up to the public to make the best of a bad situation. Patrons must consider the handicaps under which the schools are, operating, and because of the handicaps should of fer every cooperative effort reasonable. The patrons should remember that teach ers are underpaid, and that the good teachers are sacrificing financially every month they teach. Because of the school bus shortage and the conditions of the roads over which many of the buses are routed, it is likely that buses will not be able to run on sche- v^e.^ 1^ tfteif may be i^uae of bi^kdowns repairs. Many of liie school bhUdings are adequate and will be poorly heated and poorly ventilated. Every parent responsible for attend ance of children at School should make every, effort to have their children m school every day. Regular attendance Is the first requisite to a child's progress in school. A child must be in school before it can get the benefit of school. How to Keep Money Safely It is a dangerous habit to keep large amounts of money around the house, in tin cans or paper bags. There was a time in the history of this county when some excuse was available for such a practice. Nowadays, with bank deposit insurance, the smart individual will put his money into some well-run bank, or, if he prefers, in Savings bonds. We call attention to this matter because a farmer, in a neighboring state, recently lost a large sum of money which he had saved up to pay for his farm. The money was kept in a bag at his home. He took the bag, money and all, and started to town but, somewhere along the route, he lost the cash. Of course, every person has the right to keep his, -or her, money wherever he pleases. However, the safest place is in an institution designed for the purpose of accepting money deposits. -o No more than four per cent interest may be charged a veteran on any portion of a loan which is in any part guaranteed by the Veterans Administration.

SWAP JOBS— A young matron stalled her car at a traffic light one day. She stamped on the starter, tried again, choked her engine, while behind her an Impatient citizen honked his horn steadily. Finally she got out and walked back. “I’m awfully sorry, but I don’t seem to be able to start my car,” she told the driver of the other car pleasantly. ‘Tf you’ll go up there and start It for me, I’ll stay here and lean on the horn.” WHY BRIDES BLUSIt— They tell us of the blushing bride Who to the altar goes, Down the aisle of the church Between the frlend-flUed rows; There’s Billy, whom she motored with. And Bob, with whom she swam; There’s Dave, she used to golf with him And Steve, who called her “Lamb.” There’s Ted, the football man With ■whoBt ■he urntwhi^ tU^Aas.ForRMplt»^9 No wonder she’s a (dushiBg bride.

From Charlotte, North Carolina comes a choice story who, after standing ih line before a railroad ticket window finally who reached the agent who said, “Mad- *am, to what place would you like to go?” She turned pale, then blushed, and without saying a word went to the Trav elers’ Aid desk where she asked for a United States map. The Travelers’ Aid worker, desiring to be helpful, produced the map and asked if she could be of assistance. The woman finst declined, then said, “You know, it’s fanta.stic, but I have completely forgot ten where I am going. I knew the name of the city as well as I know my own name, but when I stood in front of the ticket agent I forgot it completely.” With the assistance of the Travelers’ Aid worker and the map, the name of the city was recalled, she took her place in line again, purchased her ticket and was soon happily on the way. The story reminds me of thousands of those who are traveling through life with out knowing their destination. Many of them act as if they didn’t care. If we be lieve the Bible, there are two destina tions, Heaven and Hell. Elach one of us is traveling toward one or the other of these places. There are those who are Heaven-bound, have their tickets and are traveling straight toward their destination. They are fortunate. The others are not so fortunate. Some are Hell-bound, know it if they will admit it. Some of them don’t seem to care. Then there are many who don’t know where they are going. Some of them, like the woman in the story just related, are confused. They need help. 'Those of us who are Christians, believe what we con fess, should be willing to give assistance to these troubled souls. Almighty God has provided a ticket to Heaven for those who will come forward to claim it. Hiere is a reservation waiting for you. Jesus Christ paid for it. The Cross is a symbol of that. All you have to do is to confess your sins to your Lord, and accept Christ as your Saviour, get on the Heaven-bound, train, and stay there. You won’t be put off the train. If you get off it will be of your own choice. If you are on the wrong train, and can read this, there is still time to change trains. A ticket to Heaven is waiting for you. But when it u offered to you, don’t back away. The ticket window may be closed by the time you can get there again. n . t- The Paint For All Interiors 90c QUART SOLD EXCLUSIVELY BY Carolina Home And Auto Supply Due to Rationing of Materials, Chiefly Sugar, Our BottliiigfMt pi Not Be In Q^ration the Week of Aug. 19 Ho Drinks Will Be Available OUR WHOLESALE DEPARTMENTS WILL CARRY ON BUSINESS AS USUAL FORESTER BEVERAGE CO.
