NavTa Ofest I DMnN I AHialt PMa, Thursday, June 25, 1942 RUMORS War scares and false ru mors about spies and hidden enemies that are prowling a round to undermine the peace and happiness of our citizens are many times mal icious. They get started by back fence talk and bridge gossip when a spark of un truth gets fanned by count less tongues into a roaring fire. These types of rumors soon die out like a paper fire which generates much heat and produces large flames for only a short while. When the -willing ears do not soon read about and hear the de tails verified by official in formation, they are ready to open their ears to more ru mors. The latest type of rumor has nothing to do with spies or other enemy agents. In fact these rumors do not originate from the coastal area unless someone here owns vast stock or interest in some mountain playground and uses anti-chamber-of-commerce gossip to turn the tourists westward instead of eastward. Of course such rumors as this one may have started harmlessly, but the reaction and effect has backfires in loss of revenue to coastal cit izens who depend upon va cationists. With the curtail ment of tires and rationing of gasoline, unnece s s a r y traveling should be discour aged, but there are those who have the time and de sire to shift the region where they eat and breath for a few weeks or months since they will have rent and board overhead even though they stay at home. The recent rumor of con cern is a portion of a letter sent to a local landlady who received the following in quiry: "Kindly advise me as to your rates . . . and your oninion as to the conditions at Beaufort at the present time. We hear much about decomposed bodies, fruits and fish washing ashore in that vicinity. Is it true, and do vour doctors regard the condition adverse for those who co in the surf?" Recently a state journalist correspondent for a daily paper wrote an article con cerninjr rumors about sub marines up the Neuse river and from the tone of the art icle. Carteret County was a bout ready to be evacuated. evacuated. After the war is over, many fantastical tales based on fact will come out, but none will beat these going a round now which if taken literally, one would be like i the Englishman who, when ; docked at New York, asked if it was safe to land in America without being scalp ed by the Indians.

The Boss Said TO Order Stationery Before We Get Down To The Lal Sheet utftiitoe GLEANINGS AN EDITORIAL TO ADVERTISERS It has become almost a tradition" to write an editorial to our adver tisers for each June issue. The one for this year is supplied through data taken from the adddress of William Harrison Fetridge ol Roche, Williams & Cunnyncham, Inc., Chicago Advertising Agency, before the Grand Rapids, Michi gan, Advertising Club. Mr. Fet ridge pointed out some changes in business alignments, caused by the failure to advertise, which took place during the first world war. Mr. Fetridge show?, in his ad dress, that many firms stopped ad vertising because of the seller' market created by the first world war. As a result they lost control of the field to competitors who did advertise. To be specific, here are three such changes of the war pe riod. 1. Before the last war the Mil ler Lock Company was the biggest manufacturer of locks in America. Business was good. They decided they didn't need advertising. A small company alert to the oppor tunity the Yale & Towne Lock Company went into a hard-hitting advertising and selling cam paign. Today Yale & Towne own the Miller Lock Company. 2. The Sheldon Axle Company used to make 00 per cent of the truck axles in America before the last war. During the seller's mar ket of that period they cut sales and advertising expenses almost entirely. In no time at all they lost their market to Timken and lost so much business they were sold to the highest bidder. 3. Before the last war, the largest selling mattress in Amer ica was made by Ostermoor. In the selle r's market of that era Oster moor rested on its reputation which had taken a lot longer to build than their finest mattress. Simmons went in hammer and tongs and stole Ostermoor's mar ket. Today Simmons is by long odds the biggest manufacturer in the business. If the illustrations are valid, and we think that they are, you have all the argument one needs to continue to use advertising space in legitimate publications during the period of the war. Several of our advertisers who have been ad versely affected by material pri orities have taken the long view of the situation and are continu ing to use space with us though they find it difficult to fill immed iate orders. When the post-war period ar rives and the buyer's market sup plants the present situation those church supply houses which have kept their names and products be fore the public will realize the value of legitimate advertising.

St Broingt, France, March 2, 1919. Dear Mother, Since you have requested me to I will state briefly my trip over here. We marched up the gang plank of the Princess Julianna on July 5, 1918, and the next day steamed out of New York Harbor, gave Miss Liberty a last long look and we were off for the great World War of which we had only heard and read. After tin uneventful voyage land was sighted on July 17th which proved to be Ireland. At this time our fleet of eighteen ships was divided. Some were sent to Liverpool and the others were sent to Glasgow. I am glad I was sent to the latter because the scenery in goirtf up the Clyde is unsur passed in beauty. Next day we lay in Glasgow docks and watched the ships that were in our fleet file by us one by or.e. All were so full of soldiers from mast head to deck and bow to stern that they looked like the men were bringing the ships in stead of the ships bringing the men. The river which appears to equally divided the city is beau tiful all the way up. The city stretches along its low banks foi miles while hack of it the lands and hills rise just enough to make the green fields and pastures look perfect in a sun likewe had the day we went up. We left Glasgow and rode thru the most beautiful part of Scot land and England, to the historic town of Winchester, England. We arrived in the niiht. Hard ly a light to be seen but we tramp ed silently on through the night, not a word or whisper from us, for evciyone seemed to be dumbed by the antiquated appearance of ev erything. Occasionally, the sound of pome women's voices who had pushed their heads out of the win dows to listen to the sound of our hob nails as they broke the silnece of the night. All the boys said they will remember its long. On July 22nd we entrained for South Hampton where the Pil grims sailed from nearly three hundred years ago for "Some where in America" while we were sailing lor bomewnere in France." We landed at Le Havre and two days later we were herded on that train of cars you have heard of so often capacity 8 cows or 40 men. We passed through Versailles and on July 28th arrived at St. Maitin, eight miles from Chaumont. Here we did all of our training and also studied French and the people. They wondered at both Catholics and Protestants bcirg in our army and we why they built their churches first and if any material was left they built their hemes. The first seventeen days of September I spent in the front line trench and up to October 25 1 was either in the front line support or reserve. It would take too long to tell you about life in the trenches, but I will tell you about what hap pened one night. It was about 9 P. M. when we went up to the front and relieved another outfit. Sometime in the early part of the night some of our officers knowing that Fritz had a way to listen in, phoned down to the adjoining officer that we had been delayed and would not be up until 8 o'clock. So next morning, on time, the "Pigs" be gan to come over in all sizes. No one can ever desciibe what that was like. I surely thought it was my time to go west. When it got too hot for the fellows on post they took cover in their dugouts; a fellow rushed in ours and said, "Get up boys and fix bayonets, they are coming across." There was no need of any explanation about who they were. We knew. I told that to show how the Yankee tricks still work. Since the "Big Show" is over and Bill Kaiser is in Dutch, I want to roll up my Summer cottage and go home. From your son, elmore davis.
