Danbury, N. C. Thursday, February 3, 1044
POISON GAS unsLinted-y and without
surcease should be showered on Japan
until the inhabitants of that evil empire
are utterly and irretrievably destroyed.
The finest chemists of America and
England, including the wizards of Ford,
General Electric and General Motors,
should be conjured to concoct the letr.al
preparation which would exterminate
these unspeakable brutes with their wo
men and their vile offspring.
The fury of the Anglo-Saxon blood is
boiling in the nation. The senses of civ
ilized and Christianized Americans reel
at the atrocities committed on our troops
Retribution is rampant everywhere.
Vengeance rides on the posting winds.
Mothers, fathers, sisters, sweethearts
and friends of the great host of Ameri
can heroes who died in the service of
their country that you and I might live
in peace and security and decency—call
for justice and inexorable vengeance.
Maybe you recoil that we should em
ploy the most terrible weapon.
Maybe you, blessed God, didn't have a
boy to die in agony with thirst, hunger
or premature burial.
If so, get a transfusion of red Ameri
can blood into your mollycodle system.
Call on our congressmen and senators
to enact measures that will mean the
swift and certain extermination of that
breed which by its inhuman cruelties has
placed itself outside the pale of Chris
tian forbearance and mercy.
America and England MUST QUALI
FY AS THE EXECUTORS OF THE
VENGEANCE WHICH IS GOD'S.
But let us have that vengeance in un
measured, irresistible, destroying vol
ume and quantity.
The greatest Christian people in the
world must not endure the irreparable
wrong which has been handed them by
the unspeakable brutal nation of Asiat
ics who defy all considerations of hu
manity and civilization.
The authors of and the commentators
on the intricacies of criminal law define
the "overt act" to be an act outward,
done in pursuance and manifestation of
an intent or design.
We hope and trust that the perpetra
tion emanating 1 from a North Carolina
broadcasting station as its ''theme tune"
on a program called the "12:81 Club" i*
not the overt act in a design against tlu
innocent public.
We have always imagined a radio rep
ertoire should be a pleasing arrange
ment of rhythm. We have always
thought that this thing called nr . --; •
a concord of sweet soi p.ds, "of rote
with many a winding bout of linked
sweetness long drawn an 1 th it
sort of thing.
If the 12:31 Club's introductoiy at» •
city is music, please deliver us to the n »c
--turnal rhapsody of torn eats on the back
yard fence, or the lament of a sere 0 :!;
owl disappointed about rats.
Otherwise, 12:31 is entertaining. But
let it come in, with a more pleasing flare

I women, boys and girls have bco:i

The response has been gratifying
and during the first six days r,'
the drive reports indicate that
the county's quota had been
three fourths subscribed.
News of Jap atrocities toward
American prisoners of war has
accelerated the sales ar.d many
people who have already bought
bonds are coming back for more.
It is expected that the county's
quota of E bonds will be far over
subscribed before the drive ends.
