Today Is Armistice Day
In Our Nation
Thirty years ago today the first World
War ended in Europe with an armistice.
Warring nations laid down their arms and
the world hailed the day as the beginning
of World Peace. The "war to end all wars"
had ceased, and peoples of the world
were happy.
But now this date of November 11 has
lost its eminence, because since the end
of the first World War another has been
fought. A war of greater magnitude and
far greater destruction.
Although a second World War has been
fought and three years have elapsed,
world peace is not yet a reality. ? \
In Palestine the Jews and the Arabs
have been warring for many months and
peace there seems only a distant possi
bility.
In China a civil war that has been going
on for years continues to rage and the
end there is not yet in sight.
In Europe, Russia has gobbled up a
number of small countries and is trying
by "cold war" methods to control Germ
any and thus spread communism to the
greater part of continental Europe, with
the ultimate aim being control of all Eur
ope and Asia.
The United Nations has failed to func
tion as a world tired of war had hoped it
would in the interest of lasting peace.
This has been due to the voting action
of Russia, who has wilfully failed to co
operate to any appreciable extent with
anything the western powers favor.
Thirty years after the first World war
and three years after the second we are
in need of an armistice, an armistice of
greed and lust for power. The world yet
has not reached the stage where it can
lay aside arms. But a world at peace is
not an impossibility, and the United Na
tions represents the greatest step in that
direction. It may not work miracles now;
it may not prevent further bloodshed, but
the plan of nations united for peaceful
settlement of differences can and will be
come a reality.
Soil Conservation
Essay Contest Soon
North Wilkesboro will be the scene of
the district contest on soil conservation
essays this year. The contest is yearly
sponsored by the North Carolina Bankers'
Association, but local prizes are needed
to encourage high school students to par
ticipate.
The Wilkes Chamber of Commerce is
sponsoring the contest locally, with $50
in cash prizes as the incentive to enter and
do a good job. 4
In a statement this week, John P. Sted
man, of Lumberton, chairman of the agri
cultural committee of the Bankers' Asso
ciation, said:
"The agricultural committee of the
North Carolina Bankers' Association has
for many years centered its interest a
round the protection of the soil of North
Carolina, which is the state's most valu
able asset. We, as bankers, Pealize that
the prosperity of our people will rise or
fall in proportion to the care or lack of
care and treatment that the majority of
the' state's popula/ticm, wjho produce a
livelihood from the land, give to it.
"Approximately 72 per cent of all North
Carolinians live in or produce from the
country-side. For that reason, the strong
est efforts are needed on the part of busi
ness and industry to foster an effective
educational program for proper land use
and care. It takes a long time to develop
good land, but carelessness and neglect
can cause it to lose its value overnight"
When we travel the highways of North
Carolina and see the worn out, washed
away lands we are made to wonder if
agricultural progress has been as great as
politicians would lead us to believe. Wil
kes has plenty of this type of land, but
the tobacco and cotton belts of the state
are made up principally of land which
will not* produce unless the land is fed
heavily with commercial fertilizer every
year.
The soil means more to us than any oth
er economic asset, and we should give it
first place in plans for the future.

EVERYDAY
COUNSELOR
By Rev. Herbert
Spaugh, D. D.
Now the psychiatrists are saying it! The
ministers have been saying it for years. St.
Paul wrote the 13th chapter of I Corinthians
about it. Jesus Christ commanded it. What?
LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
"Nearly everyone is starved for love," said
Dr. 0. Spurgeon English, Temple University
psychiatry professor, in a recent address to the
Pennsylvania Medical Society in Philadelphia.
"The need for love and its derivatives of
approval, appreciation and recognition is a
most important emotional need, and sufficient
gratification is of great importance to health,
both physical and mental," declared Dr.
English. He said that one of our great
troubles today is that "we are living in a
world which regards love as a luxury if not
a sin." As the result of this he said that
there is a corresponding swing toward "per
verted physiological activity" as men and wo
men "take to drugs and alcohol, try new love
adventures, get divorces and remarry, trying
to find a cure for their love hunger,"
That's the theme of the New Testament,
and the theme of the Christian gospel. Jesus
Christ left only two commandments. One of
them was, "A new commandment I give unto
you, That ye love one another." The other
was the commandement instituting the Lord's
Supper, the Holy Communion.
What Dr. English said is based upon his
experience. I can collaborate from my own
experience in counseling. People are starving
for love and appreciation.
That's the cause of our difficulties with
Russia today. We don't understand them,
they don't understand us, and there's cer
tainly no love lost between us.
That's what is causing the high rate of
divorces. Love has been allowed to languish
and die due to lack of appreciation, attention,
courtship. Time and again I have written to
married couples, "Continue courting and you
will stay out of court."
We live in a world filled with the greatest
variety of fears. I have never had so many
patients as recently, who are suffering from
functional disorders as the result of hidden
fears within them. They have aches and
pains for which the doctors are able to find
no organic cause. They say it's nerves. Cer
tainly it's nerves. And these taut nerves are
the result of fear and worry.
Love is the one antidote for fear and worry.
St. John wrote that long ago in his Epistle
when he said, "There is no fear in love; but
perfect love casteth out fear: because fear
hath torment. He that feareth is not made
perfect in love."
Love just doesn't fall out of the sky. It
comes like anything else in the world. It has
to be born, and then grow. It grows by prac
tice, attention and cultivation. Doesn't that
make sense? If it does, act that way!
