Five retailers in 1 four counties were placed on pro bation, and 140 retailers wer«i warned by the State director 10 "clean up or face "close up" pro ceedings. In addition, about 75 dealers in . various counties of the Stati were refused renewals of their li censes by local boards because ] they were unable to meet the re quirements of the law- The brew ers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Committee last April urged the city and county boards to refuse licenses to persons un able to furnish evidence of good character or who had been con ! victed of liquor law violations. | !

That is the idea of a missionary from Africa whom it was the privilege of the writer to meet at a Bible Conference recently- According to this missionary, there are 27,600 protestant mis sionaries in the world and 12,400 of them work under the British flag. There are 1,500 working under the French , flag and only 15 under the Italian flag. I have not checked the figures, but I am inclined to think that the intelligent missionary who gave them to me, knows what he is talking about. England, like all other nations, haj blots oi her record and has, as other nations, been guilty of many sins in God'.} sight, but England has stood for many years a friend of mission ary work and has stressed the value of God's Word- When the writer was touring the British Isles, he found parts of God's Word written in public buildings? and many other places. "The Lord knoweth them that are His", was chiseled on the tomb of the unknown soldier. After reading the address delivered re cently by Lord Halifax, I found myself praying with tears in my eyes for England. There has, as far as the writer knows, never been a more Christian address given by a statesman in any country at any time in the his tory of the world. I have travel ed in many lands, and in Ameri ca I have many personal friends from Germany and from other countries, but I can not help feel ing that it would be to the best interest of even Germany for England to win this war- I have a feeling that this baptism of blood may drive England to her knees, and that out of all the horror and tragedy of suffering there may come a world-wide re vival. God knows best. He has made of one blood all nations of men who dwell on the earth, but He has fixed the bounds of their habitation. However the war turns out, we Christians have nothing to fear. "Our citizen ship is in heaven " We shall be safe if all nations are destroyed. "The foundations of God stand eth sure, for the Lord knoweth theni that are His." It may be that we are really, as many Bible scholars believe, in the close of the age. England may go down- Germany and Italy may come out victorious. Jesus may soon come back to receive His own. No ono can know positively what will be the outcome of the present strug gle. We Christians walk by faith, and not by sight- We do not ask to see. The war'd says, seeing is believing. To Chris tians believing is seeing. This does not mean th&t God permits us in this world to see every de tail of His plan for the fuMriS. It does ir.ean that there ar? hl ways kales in evtiy cloud wivVi hangs over our head through which we may see His blosaed face- There are no guns that, man can make which will sound so loud that we shall not be jb'e to hear Him say, "I am wka you always even until the end of the age," and, "Behold, I Coma Quickly; and my reward in with Industry Ready to "Keep 'em Rolling" for Defense popHKw ^HRI ■j^jp ~'BHßj§ B ' ft. i^^E^SS pj HVil' Wp ' iJI i/W 1 ' W« jjgHMMMMMMMMMMM| *■ ;.Jjj Graphic illustration of the way in which one of America's greatest industries gears its activities with the United States Army for national defense is found at Little Falls, Minn., where the greatest peacetime maneuvers in the history of the country are being held Aug. 3—Aug. 24.

The kindest comment I can make 1 I is that it is a deliberate misstate ment of facts. I listened to all of our next President's speeches on the radio and he certainly made no such remarks as attributed to him in your article. As for his stami na and judgment, he has plenty; ' if ever this country needed a he man it is now. His wife has all the traits of a lady and we need never fear that she will advertisj shoes or soap on the radio- I feel that these old politicians' who seem to want war so badly should go, and leave the youmj men to carry on. Those politi cians in Washington have talked billions so long and have spent and wasted plenty without ac complishing anything—its time we had a change. There are enough sane Demo crats in the West and Middle West to help tied Mr. Willkie and he won't be drafted either—to think than any grown person would fall for that drafting line is surely wishful thinking. As for the Republican conven tion, I never heard a more patri otic, well-conducted convention- FANNIE B. OWEN, 1458 Irving Avenue, , Glendale, Cal. Bridge Club Meets Mrs. Charlie Martin and Lois M.

WickarU, 147-year-old Indiana farm expert, ! yesterday was nominated by President Roosevelt to succeed Secretary Henry A- Wallace who will leave the cabinet on Septem ber 5 to campaign for the third term ticket. ■ Paul H. Appleby of lowa, for mer newspaper publisher who has I served as Wallace's assistant since 1933, was named to the un der-secretaryship. Wallace's resignation was ac cepted by the President in Hyde Park, N- Y., where an exchange of letters between the pair was made public. The secretary's let ter was brief and confined largel/ to praise of the President's lead ership in the farm program over the past eight years. I "I believe thoroughly in your unique capacities to lead the American people in these troub lous times when experience and wisdom are so essential," Wallace wrote. "Therefore, I approach the work of the campaign with eagerness" The President's reply was a campaign document which gave' an insight into the line of at tack which the third-term forces will use in an attempt to hold the politically important farm votes in November. It recalled that when Wallace took over in • 1933 he found "agriculture proj ■ trate; markets had been ruined; purchasing value was gone; the farmer was penniless. Fore closures and tax sales had done the rest." "The farmers of the country are not likely to forget this", he wrote- "Their minds are seared 5 with bitter memories of official r neglect and official incompetence which brought them and the na tion to disaster." He said the farmers are cog nizant of the "deliberation, true ' wisdom and statesmanship which have gone into the formulation of r the new deal farm program," and added that Wallace had "adhered THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1040. without deviation to the settled processes of democracy" in ad ministering it. With the farmers, he concluded, "rests judgment as to the work you have been doing during tha past seven years and more in be half of agriculture and in behalf of the nation." "You and I are content to leave determination of the issues in this campaign year to the calm judgment of the voters- Under our form of government there is no higher arbitrament than the bar of public opinion." Later, in a farewell message to department employees, Wallace said the agency has a responsi bility in assisting agriculture to prepare for "a variety of serious results growing out of the cur rent European war." He warned that in order to survive, democ racy must clothe its ablest peo ple with adequate authority to meet totalitarian threats. Promotion of two midwestern agricutural leaders indicates the increasing importance new deal ers place upon the farft vote which began straying away from the administration in the 1938 congressional elections. It was noted that Wickard comes from the home state of Wendell L. | Willkie, Republican presidential nominee, which has pivoted in past elections and which Republi cans now are claiming. Death of C.
