" THE STATE 5, SOUTftPt Published live JAMES M. HARP (On Leave of Abse Entered as second-class matter i at Sotitliport, N. C., under ?? f SUBSCRIPT ONE YEAR SIX MONTHS THREE MONTHS NATIONAL 1 L . \\m& Wednesday, Nov Thanksgiving? - More than .'500 years a otjserved Thanksgiving desp days and years ahead couli Churchill lias since describe tetfrs." Yet out of their faith a powerful United States of A This year Thanksgiving day* fine's us again faced with bitter' days ahead but also with the faith that if each of us does his j full'' part, next year will bring j nntrh more to be thankful for. Victory is in sight in Europe and the Japanese have begun the slower but sure retreat to Tokyo, j Mow is the time to give thanks, j but, like the pioneers, to keep j ou(| hands on our muskets. This! is no time for smugness. It is a | time to FIGHT and WORK. Our community can do a whole lot to make victory sure by cut-1 ting the pi'.lpwood on which Uncle Sapi depends for hundreds of essential materials of war. Our; oufi boys, for whom Thanksgiving is but a memory, are depend- 1 ing on us too. So let's put over the drive to: 'Cut-a-Cord of Pulpwood for Every Local Boy In Service." 1 .1 Do Y on Miss , Your Doctor? . There are probably few com- , munitics in the United States , * which are not feeling a shortage . of doctors. I Without recognizing the splendid job that the few doctors who , are still on duty are doing, many J people are prone to complain at , the difficulty of getting medical i service. We wonder if these com- ; plaining people ever stop long < enotogh to think what causes the j doctor shortage. ! i For one thing, the sons, broth- J j ers and friends who arc doing the ! fighting at the front are getting | the medical care they deserve.' The American fighting men are J < ? being given the best surgical and ! medical treatment ever accorded fighting forces. This is the one j and only reason for your having ' a shortage of doctors in your [' ronjpnunity. 1 Statistics show that in the first ( world war 60 to 75 men died out ^ of each 3000 wounded. In the 1 present war only 30 to 35 men ' are dying out of each 1000 woun- 1 tied. The doctors are where they ought to be, and knowing where 11 the#" are, they should not be mis- j( sed.; M More Die , \ In Training i1 Recent deaths in this area of j j young men engaged in training as j i pilots for the air forces may give [ ] exaggerated ideas of danger in! | that branch of the armed sendee. I It is a matter of record that J more men are lost while training j as pilots than are killed and capture from our air forces while! mei and planes are in action. The ' Res ers Digest recently said that the atio of men lost in training j was more than two-to-one over j tha lost in action. " T it being the case it may be assi ried that inexperience and eag ness may be largely re- [ spo lible for the death of the j larg number of student pilots. Ob\ >usly, also, the type of plai s used for training may j hav something to do with the, larj number of student deaths. 1 Big r and better planes are being milt every day to meet the con ant need of the combat forces. Most of the training planes app ir to have been designed for the teeds of several years ago. St( nny Political Year V, r or no war, North Carolina is a set to have a stormy politica year in 1944.

( They set the spring of 1941 as , the latest date for Turkey be-1 i f coming a full-fledged member of . the United Nations. j ( During recent months it has ( become increasingly apparent to t ?ven lay observers here in the; { t'nitcd .States that the entrance } of Turkey in the war is a matter , 11 of only a short time. For months { Turkey has been giving aid toj f the Allied cause on a scale second c only to what the United States ; lave before Pearl Harbor. This , | 1 lid. according to all present indi-j, oations, is to become ever, great-1 ;r in a short time with Turkey I illowing the Allies to make use of her air bases. Taking everything at its face ,'alue. Turkey is drifting rapidly nto the war. it Outstanding , 4 m erica n On the home front Secretary of ; State Cordell Hull has easily been j he outstanding American citizen \ f of the past few weeks. To himj t oelongs the credit of having play- i I ?d a most important roll in the; 1 Moscow conference. In fact, it!1 nay be said that he engineered J inity between Russia, England I ( ind the United States. !, I < Germany was dealt one of the 1 < .vorst blows that she has suffered ( luring the war in that conference. ] Last Thursday, just a week af- ' ter he returned from the confer- ' mce, Secretary Hull faced a joint j session of Congress and outlined , the Moscow meeting. In describing the three great powers, the I United States. Russia and Eng- ] land and their understanding | J reached at the meeting he said: j "1?Never was there greater i determination on the part of all the participants 'to move forward in a spirit of mutual understanding and confidence.'' "2?Important agreements were reached 'but there were no secret agreements, and none was suggested." 3?The main point of the fourpower declaration?"the principle of sovereign equality of all peaceloving states, irrespective of size! and strength, as partners in a future system of general security will be the foundation stone upon which the future international organization will be constructed." 4?The basic policy of International cooperation for peace and security must be carried forward "in the principles and spirit of the Atlantic Charter and the declaration by the United Nations." I 5?There were problems ? such as boundary questions?"which must, by their very nature, be | loft in abeyance until the termination of hostilities." 6 ? The supremely important; fact is that the conference revit-1 alized and gave practical expres-1 sion to "the whole spirit of in-' ternational cooperation, now and after the war," thus launching a "forward movement which, I am firmly convinced will seadily extend in scope and effectiveness." 7?Only by carrying forward a l 'program of intprnational coopera- t 'lion "can we expect, in the long c range of tlio future, lo avoid be-!1coming victims of destmotive lor- s ces of international anarchy | which, in the absence of organ- r ized international relations willr rule the world." o 8?The conference gave prelim- S inary attention to problems re- t lating to the tiansitition from e war to peaee and there was a '1 A ."fruitful exchange of views on j such questions as the treatment p of Germany and its satelites. the a various phases of economic tela- e tions. the promotion of school1 welfare, and the assurance ofjt, general security and peace." c jf, "AWFl'LLV CLOSE it TO THE SKIX" IP I " (By George Peck) Tills has been an era of new | words, slogans, quips, maxims, l(| aphorisms, adages and wise-! j, cracks.

WASHINGTON LETTER WASHINGTON. Nov. 24. ? j Various aspects of inflation coninues as the foremost debatable :opics of the week. The Thanksgiving season brought little change in legislative proceedings. 3o close were the political balmces that few lawmakers, esjecially on the House side dared :o spend the holiday away from :heir official duties. Candidates 'or their jobs have an effective ind annoying check method as to :he incumbents' voting and attendance record. There is evidence that the wall against inflation is ibout to break under many pressures now endangering the whole rconomic stabilization program. Because the tax legislation reaches down into the pocket- j aooks of all citizens. Hoilse mem-1 bers find themselves chafing un-1 ler the halter of parliamentary j law.

The search for temporary help has reached the point where prohibitions against the employment of state and municipal employees are now inoperative for the duration of the war. It is expected that thousands of high school students will be asked to assist in the handling and distribution of Christmas mail.
