UNFOLD I , I ?888888 By DAN TOMPKINaWlJ JAPAN will pay through the nose for every kick that she ha& given your Uncle Sam in the Pacific ocean. The day of retribution is coming. It would be a dtf . ferent story if America had been prepared to meet the attack when it came. The sacrifice in lives, in blood, and in treasure that has already been marie onri +>?af ??ili *a ??~v| mow mihv nui iihtv bU UC made before the Japanese are paid in full for their perfidy, is directly chargable to our policy of pacifism and isolation, that forbid us to get ready for the coming storm, or to ward it off. Nobody is to blame except the American people and a group of wilful Congressmen and Senators, that we were not ready. TOTALITARIAN states always have an advantage over Democratic ones, for they, when the dictator chooses, dan strike the first blow and strike hard. Then the Democracy has to assemble its folks, its munitions, and get ready to strike back. The Jftps, however, by their cowardly attack in the back, when their envoys were smoking the peace pipes . in the big wigwam in Washington, gave us sottiething l that would have taken years to bring about by our own action. That valuable something is the complete unity of the American people, and a grim determination to see this thing through to victory, regardless of it- - A me cost. THE FIRST months of American participation in trie last war was consumed by the United States in training and equipping an army. During that period, we were protected by the British navy and French armies, while we. prepared^ hfUtfiflly. to defend ourselves. At &a?SI it not been for ecfuiptnent famished us by the Preach and British, our actual participation would have been ihany months later. It take* time to (tfeparfc a country for war. This time, when the Japanese struck, they struck directly at surprised and unprepared America. There was no British Navy in the Pacific to defend us, and no French or British army to defend Manila, while America bttlrfte&y prepared. We have little in Luaon with which to combat the Jap* anese dive bombers. THE DUTCH, dp to now hare been more successful in Warfare against the Japanese than anyone else in the Asst. They have a record of more than a ship . a day sunk, since the war start i ed. SPIRIT can't be crushed beneath the feet of matching armies, or roHint tanks, nor , blasted from the hearts of a people by dive bombers. Therein lies the certainty of complete and utter defeat of Japan. We can take it on the chin, while our ^ factories, our mines, our mills, gather momentum and the ever-increasing flood of munl. tions continues to come forth, ; to swee*p Japan and Oermany L into com^Mte oblivion. It is a r battle of extermination, for us or for them. We shall win, because of the spirit of our peo> pie, handed down to us by our . ancestors* and bred into our very matfrow. PRATER of a people can avail . much. Pilttldeht Roosevelt knows that, and he was very wise when he called the people to I a day of prayer on January ; First. That prayer, he said should be one of confession of [ our sins, of thanksgiving for the i mercies of the father, and of Detition for fortfvehess and fdr the victory of troth and justice, so that this may again become a decent world, the British, the Dutch, and the peoples in the occupied latfds, will join with America in that day of prayer. That is the way to set upon any f great ahtf imprtftfcnt und^rtaks ing, and mdre especially in this r, mortal combat to preserve all e that is worth tfhtte in this y world.

New Year's - - ? I - A !! statement by rresiaeni wuItem Green of the American Federation of Labor.) Labor faces the New Year determined that nothing shall stand in the way of complete victory for America over the forces of barbarism and totalitarianism which have plunged the world into war. The ranks of the American Federation of Labor are arrayed five million strong on the industrial front with but one thought in mind?that this war mu*t be won as quickly as posstWe. To that end the members of the American Federation of Labor will work to the limit of their endurance. They will produce the materials of war as the workers of no other nation have ever produced. They will cheerj fully make every sacrifice the Gpvernment of our country calls upon them to make. And tney will gladly set aside all that they can spare of their earnings for the purchase of defense bonds to help finance the war. This is the program that we of the American Federation of Labor have set for ourselves for the coming year. To help make this program of all-out assistance to the nation's war effort effective, the leaders of the American Federation of Labor have succeeded in working out an agreement with industry barring strikes and lockouts for the duration of the war.

Many new records have been made, and foundations have been laid for even broader and greater attainments" said Governor J. M. Bioughton. I; In reviewing the war effort in jhe State,' Governor Broughton said: "Our state, which already i"" ?Vi? antlro Qmith in fho lC(tUO l/lic CUVUV kJUUVXA AAA WUV neld of industry, has experienced during this year its highest peak of industrial growth and expansion. Production has reached an all-rtime high; more piants are operating at full tipje and more people are employed than at any previous time in our nistory; and the many new plants established together with expansion of existing industries, .tdded to enormus increase in electric power production, give promise of greater things yet to jome. Agriculture likewise has felt a quickening impulse. Intelligent regulation of major crop acreages, wider diversification, a tremendous increase in the production of hogsr livestock, and poultry, together with improved prices for all commodities have given to our farmers the most hopeful position and prospect that they have experienced in many years. The outstanding event i n North Carolina during 1941 has oeen the State's participation in the Defense Program. Few states in the American Union ha?? had a larger part than North Carolina in the military aspects of this nationally important. undertaking. with Fort Bragg, [the largest artillery post in the world, as a starting point, the Government has enormously Increased the military establishments in this state. Gvtt thirty nillion dollars was exfcfendfaii at Fort Bragg by the QWtimiieilt this year, and employflAftt for a considerable portion of the year was given to nearly twenty-tore thousand workmen, practically all of whom were North Carolinians. The Post now quarters nearly sixty-five thousand officers and enlisted men from practically every state in the Union. Subsequently, Camp Davis the first anti-aircraft establishment to be constructed in the country, was built at a cost of approximately 25 million dol lars, giving employment to aoout twenty thousand of our citteens, throughout most of the year, and now quartering about twentythousand soldiers.

These gentlemen wore appointed by Governor Broughton and will serve without pay, as a patriotic service to the S tate and Nation. They are a part of the national tire rationing system that has been made necessary by the Japanese aggression in the regions in the East from whence comes more than 90 per cent of the rubber used in th<; United States. The restrictions, it is stated, will not apply to recs.pped or used tires, but will be applicable only to new tires and tubes. North Carolina's quota of new tires for the month of January has been set at 2,871 for light trucks and passenger cars, and at 5,819 for trucks a] id buses. Only 2,403 tubes for passenger cars, and 4,865 for tricks and buses can be purct ased by North Carolinians during the x. it i.:J. ? morun, m uie eutuc autbc. Before any resident of this' county can buy a new tire or tube, he must first apply to the Rationing Board and obtain a permit. CENSUS TO P IN OUR DEFENSE E] TORT Raleigh?North C a r o 1 i n a's 1942 farm census, to be taken by the U. S. and StaU; Departments of Agriculture during January, will be used throughout the State as an accurate compilation of agricultural information "essential in planning food for defense program*." "Cooperation of farmers in furnishing tax listers with farm statistics and other in formation for the census is a patriotic duty that will yieia money ana satisfaction dividends", Faim Census Supervisor W. T. Garriss of the State Department of Agriculture said today. Information farmers will furnish the tax listers curing the next forty days will include data on acreage, livestock, farm machinery, population, arid poultry. "North Carolina is I the only Southern State conducting a farm census and as a result the agricultural leadership is better prepared today to cooperate in the 'food for victory' campaigns and in the defense m >vements", Garris emphasized. "Fanners will vaduiiteer agricultural information f.t tax listing time and the tax lister will forward county s^im maries to the Department fdr publication and distribution to sgricultural agencies and leader^, particularly those working with the'food for defense' programs", he add- j ed.

UNVEIL PORTRAIT AT WAYNESVILLE OF JUDGE ALLEY An unusual distinction was accorded a native son of Jackson county, when a portrait of Judge Felix E. Alley was unveiled at the Court House in Waynesville. A large number of the friends of Judge Alley were present for the ceremonies. T. L. Green, president of the Haywood county bar association presided. The portrait was presented by W. G. Byers, former ? clerk of Haywood court; and it was accepted by Hayes Alley, son of the resident judge of this district.

HUGE TIMBER BOUNDARY IN com IS SOLD Sixteen hundred acres of the finest timber remaining in Western North Carolina fras been sold by the estate of IS. H. Jennings to the Carr Lumber Company and the Champion Paper and Fibre Company, of Canton, it has been learned. The lands lie in Jackson and Transylvania counties, and are said to be the last large stand of virgin timber remaining in private ownership in Western North Carolina. They comprise the holdings of the old Toxaway Company. It is stated that it will require ten years to remove the timber from the lands. The Carr Lumber Company will remove the saw timber, and the Champion Paper and Fibre Company will take the chestnut and hemlock, to be shipped to the paper mill at Canton. The logs for the Carr Lumber Company, it is understood, will go to the lumber mill at Pisgah Forest. Both classes of wood will be shipped from Toxaway, where the timber will be loaded on the railway cars for transportation to Pisgah Forest and Canton. * ' % . -'' -V - V'fiAriM
