C., Thursay, July 30, 1942 * * * It's a busy time on the farms now where the whole works is all out to save the new crop of to bacco. ' Fires gleam from a thousand flues as night! falls over the landscape. In the air is the pungent tang of sweet gold leaves that are ripe and cured. In Georgia the aria of the auctioneer, who is chanting averages several dollars a hundred higher than last year, is answered by the song in the hearts of our growers who know that big cash money is headed this way. And so the morning glory smiles in anticipa tion, and the wonder in the eyes of the big sun flowers changes to a look of pleasant understand ing. Deep in the heart of the woods at dusk the thrush's goodnight is said, while the moon rises over the old plantation. The boys and girls gath er in to pick the bones of fried chicken, eat devil ed eggs and end up with watermelon. All this is the setting in which our money crop appears to bring happiness and prosperity to cur people.

More than a million people of Poland, Yugo slavia, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, France, Nor way, etc., have died under orders of Hitler— shot or hanged in cold blocd. If somewhere outside the realms of time and | space, there be a place where the fires of retribu- | lion are never quenched, surely there is a just who will put this demon of all the ages there, and that throughout the measureless eons he may in some measure answer for his unspeak able crimes. of Surr> oonnty public schools, ac cording to announcement, the past j week by John W.
