I'mverbs ...l.-U j Lady Astor's Appeal Elsewhere in today's Dispatch isj a story about an appeal in a letter, irom Lady Astor in England to a, relative in Virginia against sending of food to Europe bv America.! "America must <ee this issue as it, ' ix' t:.t:ii if .-he doesn t. the jjqi . .. >. American woman de-. dared. Lady A-t r. it will be recalled, is n rntwe «.•!'

Sl.e the midst • ' Britain's present death ' 'struggle with Hitler, and v.,.:«e« tirsthand r<i her adopted cojr.trv's plight. The advice c< r/a'r.ed in the letter ., . ..rv r,. thinking, wholly cm ect Gerr n sources are said to be ir.sn:r:r.ii reports of certain hun ger and intense suffering in con quered porti< ns of Europe during the coming winter with the idea of play ;n«* on American symprthies to the point that food and other supplies will be furnished by a soft-hearted United States ostensibly for these un fortunate peoples, but for Hitler to seize for consumption in Germany. Europe should not be starving. Lady Astor writes. She says Denmark had food for two years when Hitler entei ed that country, adding that France was not even rationed except for " pastries, and Holland and Norway < were well off with food up to the * time the Nazis came. Where is their , food now. and where would any food , that might be sent them go? Lady ( Astor asks pointedly. To ask these questions is to ans- ! wer them, and that should be suf- . ficient for this country. Lately there has been talk of send- . ing large supplies of wheat to Spain. ( That country is technically neutral, but every one knows who won the civil war for Franco, ar.d to send food or any other supplies there would be but little different from sending it directly to Germany and Italy. If people in conquered Europe suf- i fer and starve this winter, hearts here will bleed for them. But to with hold it means the war will end the sooner, that the Nazi menace will to that extent be minimized, and that peace will be nearer. Americans have before been played for suckers by Europeans, and often enough and t" uch an extent that bv now we -h'•' • Id have learned our lesson. If we send food to Europe now or i.r.v other time before the war is over, and if it contributes to a totalitarian victory, we shall have only our elves to blame. Repercussions Where Mrs. Bettie Bishop got the impression that because o£ fear of "violent repercussions" this news-' paper has been ; ilent about "gam-; bling" conditions and sale of liquor at the fair we do not know. She may have been reading insinuations of those who would like to discredit ori destroy n free press in America be-1 cause they cannot control or bend iti to their way of thinking, and as a' result come to the conclusion that i newspapers generally are a bunch of j weaklings and jelly-fish. We trust she will not allow herself to become a convert to that faith. What Mrs. Bishop writes is th~ first we have heard of liquor "being sold openly aci -ss the counter; by the glass" at the i ir. And we won der if she thinks thb i the only place i is, Y. ikv i .iiMiv. i' her r. < • " ' i-; rorroct. where thi* sort of Lm-i ne-;s luis been «»v is going on. That there were boards, tables ami the like ai the lair that were iu-t plain gambling, and being operated in hill view and under bright lights for all to see who cared to see. in our opinion a fact. We do not re call ever having visited a fair in Vance county or anywhere el-e lhat came under our observation where there were not similar condition. That. 01 course, does not make it light or lawful, here or elsewhere. Why these conditions are tolerated while much resentment is worked up , a er slot machines, punch boards and the like we do not know. For some reason it seems that the public, aifi with the officers, takes these things for granted and winks at them at fairs. Whether the sponsorship. in llu name of agriculture, is the ans wer we cannot say. but an evil is an evil, wherever it may exist. Whither boards, wheels and tables ; re to be allowed free rein for one week stands at fairs, while these ami puticli boards and other similar de vices are tabooed in year-round p! ivs f! business. is something that i-; and must be decided by public sentiment, in large measure. The courts and the officers know a large segment «'i the public is ready to back up drives against the one-armed bandit evil, but it would be our ii . t they would not led so lire of themselves in similar moves at lairs. For •»!!»• own part, and Tor what ■ • • • .ction Mrs. Bishop may derive from such a statement, we do n t ;.p: riwe or condone gambling, and i'fjuor selling or liquor drinking :f >uc": ha fccunvd. at the Golden Belt Fair or any other fair.

THE LIGHT OI THE WORLD To the Editor: As wc look back through pages of time, we can sec the light burn ing brightly at times again seems al most to go out. But the light never did go completely out. God alway: had some man who lived righteously to ;idd himself to the Panic: fuel for the light. Each man who helped to make this light was looking for the true light to come into the world. Again, we see through the screen of time an event wnieo was to change and did change man's way of living. Thi event was the birth of Christ. The true light had a I last broken through the darkness. In my eiind I can sec Jesus as he f rev/ | ;•»,!•( : ne ; t ige of life into an other. 1 can . ee him in his home bringing joy to his mother's heart. Again. I can see him when it was time for Him to start h.'s active min istry. when it was time for the light to bo made known to the world. John 1° to savs: "I am come a light into \.e worud. that whosoever believeth ■'tie me : hould not abide in darkness." Again, in John 9:5: ''As long as I am in H e world I am the light of the world." The li£*ht was to be seen only for a short time. Jesus was looking for What Do You Know About North Carolina? By FRED II. MAY 1.

For the first time in history, the University of Georgia will entertain a gridiron foe under the arc lights, recently installed in the picturesque Sanford Stadium. And what a foe Coach Wallace Butts' boys picked to dedicate the lights. The University of Kentucky it is, and the Wildcats are rated with the best in the Southern Conference, being undefeated. It promise; to be a great ball game between trains coached by two men who began their gridiron rivalry sev eral years ago while ootii were tutor ing high schools at Louisville, Ky.

Henderson. Route 1. To /■M PRoijD I . r->n\J r RRV!^ f ;^sc Wake Forest Points To Duke, ! Hoping To Avenge67-0 Defeat Charlotte. Oct. 21.—(AP)—Three years ;-go a hard driving, ruthless band oi Duke Blue Devils turned upon Wake Forest and humiliated the Deacons under a 67-0 score. li was one oi' the highest scores ever run up against the Baptists and they never forgot. This year, mem bers <>i that loyal band say. may be one for revenge. There is 110 denying that Wake Forest is pointing for Duke and this Saturday will tell the tale. The Deacons have power and know how to use it. Thus far. all that can be said about the Dukes is that they have the power but some of their talents are going to waste, so say those boys in the know. At any rate. Wake Forest may be counted on to open up against the Devils in the Baptists' lot this week end in the State's chief attraction. At Chapel Hill. North Carolina will be host to Tulan ein another aging rivalry that last year threw some old-time fear into the hearts of the Tar Heels. A great passing attack saved the day and the game ended in a 14-14 tie.

State will entertain Mississippi State in a night affair. The week's North State Confer ence program will offer Appalachian ■Against King at Boone, Catawba against Guilford at Winston-Salem, Elon at Miami University. Lenoir Rhyne at Newberry and Western Carolina Teachers at High Point. The street corner coaches gave most attention .today to N. C. State and the most talented Wolfpack since the days of Jack McDowell. North Carolina had to turn on lull power to overcome the West Ra leigh lads, i 3-7 Saturday. The Wolves struck quickly and moved into pay dirt on an aerial from Watts to Huckabee. Fehley plaeekicked the extra point. Tnc Tar Heels quickly recovered and scored on La hmne's hurdle over tackle. Dunkle kicked the point. Scverin scored again !or Carolina in the third but deep in the final quarter State struck frantically on a play that made football what it is. On their own one-y.:' rt line, the Wolves sput lofd. then exploded as Fehley, far in his end zone, parsed to Watts, who aired out. Cornered by several Tar Hrc1:: he laticralled io Fehley op. State's 32. and the fleet back headed lor a >eorc. only to be reach ed by Lalanne on Carolina's Hi. But Stat? could get no farther. Duke Trims Colgate Duke whipped Colgate 13-0 and ruined the Red Raiders' celebratoin of the 50th anniversary of football. Jap Davis plunged over for the first Duke score and Moffatt St< rer rang up the other with an 80-yard jaunt. Tony Ruffa kicked the point. Col gate threatened several times, even moved the ball to the Devils' four yard line, but Dukes spurts were too much. Johnny Fredericks with two touchdown^ and Hiu-kney and Spen eer with .me each paced Davidson's 27-20 victory over Sew;.nee. a dem onstration that saw a smoothly-oiled band of Wildcats play just as Coach Gene McEver would have them play They passed, they bucked, they ran and they followed through, but not until the fourth did they find things entirely to their liking, and crossed the line twice. Wake Forest had little trouble whipping Marshall, 31-19. Polanski *'nd Gallo\ ieh contributed two touch downs apiece and Waivers added an other. The Deacons scored first and the lead changed hands three limes in the second quarter. G;illo- j vich Jed the way in the second half. | j and the Deacons went on to v. in. | In the North State loop.

Bulldogs Out To Defeat Rapids Team Fresh from a 25 to 0 defeat of South Hill. Va.. last Friday after noon, the Henderson high school Bulldogs set about today pointing to Roanoke Rapids here Friday after noon in what should be the tough cse game oi the season for ihc Bull dogs. Henderson has won .jusl one con test from Roanoke Rapids in the years the teams have been meeting op the gridiron. That victory, a 2 to 0 margin, came in 1L>28 when a ■ bad pass from Roanoke Rapid-? center sent the ball over the goal line and i out of the end zone. John Church, j Bulldog center, fell on the ball, but i it was out of the field of play, so was ruled as a safety. Had the ball j been in the end zone, it would have I been a Bulldog touchdown. Coach Fred Kilpatrick and his Bulldogs realize the job ahead of! them, and are busy at work. Each year, Roanoke Rapids has! one of the best teams in eastern j North Carolina and this year's edition ! is no exception, judging from the j record of the club thus far. DawsonShakes Up T ulane New Orleans. Oct. 2!.—Like a base ball manager shaking up his baiting order to get out «>I' a slump. "Red" . Dawson has been busy lor the past month experimenting with combina- ■ tions in an effort to produce a win- • ning eleven. As an illustration. Jack Tittle. Tom Glass. Walter McDonald and Bob Grush have alternately shared quarterbacking duties while Lou Thomas, Harry Hays and "Rubber" Ely have been doing turnabout chores at tailback. Wingback hon ors have been rather definitely set tled on Bob Glass and Fred Cassibiy as have tne fullback duties on Fred Gloden and Jimmy Thitaut. The line experiment.; have beeii al most as frequent and any guess as to a starting lineup on Monday be fore each game has proved grossly inaccurate before game time. As an illustration, a probable lineup for the Fordham game on Monday of last week was only two-elevenths right when the Greenies lined up for the kick-off in the Polo Grounds.
