Praise for the goodness of God is never out of place, but it is especially appropriate on days set apart by official appointment to notice the mercies which have followed us, the blessings which we have enjoyed, and the kind interpositions which have been made in our behalf. The day should be observed with happy hearts, and with a genuine spirit of thankfulness whether you spend the day in pleasure or in divine worship. The Post-Dispatch can offer no better suggestion on this Day than this: be thankful, charitable and considerate. A new world's record for long distance radio communication was made onNov. 5th when Presi dentHarding's message addressed to the nations of the world was picked up in New Zealand, 10,000 miles away. The message was sent from the new radio station at Rocky Point on Long Island. This was the kind of station that the Navy was planning to build at Monroe when the war ended. A report was published in the daily papers some days ago pur porting to be an interview with Mr. Wilkinson, member of the State Highway Commission from this district. In it was stated 600 miles of roads would be con structed in Richmond county at once, and that the Pee Dee river would be bridged. Naturally this enthused our people very much and was the topic of wide conversation. But the news was was too good to be true. The reporter had slipped up. Instead of these roads being au thorized for CONSTRUCTION, it was merely an order for a SURVEY keeping the surveying forces buisy during the winter months. However, it is very probable that the road from Hoffman to Rockingham will be constructed .during the year 1922, but as for priding the river this is scarcely likely for some years yet. Business Closed. All places of business, banks and Carriers will have holiday Thanksgiving Day. The Post Dispatch is printed on Wednes day night this issue-a day earlier than usual. Deer Hunters.

Last April about 250 Post-Dispatch subscribers renewed for a year by giving a note for $2.00 each, payable on or before November 1st, 1921. The time is now passed, and quite a number have neglected to attend to the payment.

Pre mier Briand primarily addressed the people ot France and also continental Kurope as he defended the military policy of France which three years after the armistice maintains the larg est standing army In the world. In a dramatic hour, Aristlde Briand, seven times premier of France, out lined the fears of France of an at tempt at restoration of Prusslanism in the former Central Kurope empires, and Arthur James Balfour, heading the British delegation, rose in his place and, in solemn words, practical ly pledged Great Britain to the aid ot France in any future threat ot the lust of military combination. Briand, strong man of France, ac knowledged by Lloyd George as having the best parliamentary voice in Eu rope, was at his best as, in electric phrases, he pictured a Germany dis armed physically, but not morally, and with a powerful faction preaching the doctrines of military restoration. Germany, he said, could now mobilize between six million and seven million men trained in war, and her industrial Ingenuity would enable her to equip them quickly as a menace to civiliza tion and the world. In the face of that, tho French premier declared, France was ready to reduce her army to half its former strength, but not to the point which, he said, would expose France to peril.
