Yadkin Hfppl? W. E. RUTLEBGE Editor and Publisher W. E. RUTLEDGE, JR. Associate Editor (Published Every Thursday ■ '!' " 1 i • Entered at the Postoffice at Yadkinville, as second class •mail matter. Established 1892, Subscription Rates: 1 Year ..._$1.00 6 Months _ .50 Payable in Advance Those Stokes Hills It was my pleasure Thursday night to attend a gathering of members of the American Legion and others at Hanging Rock Park, near Danbury, where a delicious fish fry was served to all present. A Yadkinville man, Mr. L. F. Brumfield, now in charge of cer tain farm and dairy projects in Stokes county, was master of ceremonies. Mr. Brumfield has been in Stokes county more than a year and is well liked by farm ers and business men of that cpunty. ' I love to go back to those old Stokes county hills—the hills I uised to f*oam around Moore’s Springs and Piedmont Springs with jolly good folks who visited the springs for health and pleasure. Both hotels have since burned and now good health-giv ing water is going to waste at both places, but at Moore’s I can still see old man Shelton, that sturdy old character who lived nearby, coming down the road with his hands locked behind him. He loved to hear the merry laugh of the young set and watch the older ones pitch horse-shoes and play set back between meals of fried chicken and country ham. At the site of Piedmont hotel I can hear the hearty laugh of that grand old man, Spot Taylor, own er of the hotel, as he sat on the lawn With hit guests and told good stories. He was at home with them all, the young, the old and the middle aged—they were all good folks to him. He was a lovable old man and was happiest when others around him were happy. This good man since pass ed to his reward, but left behind one of the richest heritages a man can leave—a number of children, who like their father, labor for the benefit of their native county and have contributed greatly to its growth. < Some day I hope to go back to those hills where many improve ments have been made in the past 20 years. The roads are better and general conditions have im proved, with power lines and tele phones taking the lead along with roads. Our Faith Is Shaken > A few days ago, we saw this streamer heading across a news paper page, “The Greatest Fact oif All is There Remains a God.” i That is a consoling line. It is great to believe that a supreme being still reigns who will, in the end, deal out justice and mercy to all, and that after all there may bje peace and happiness in the tforld. ; Now I am aware that these re marks should not be made and I hesitate to say what I am about to say. But when I look around me and when I pick up my morn ing paper and read of the hap penings of the world, my faith in the future is shaken. At this time one factor stands out which tends to shake our long time faith in the things that have been taught us; oyer the years, if there is a Supreme tUtler, a hid den power that cah j/yipft i does control the forces of all men, where j ,has|. tha^ power . beep for the past year? : Why. wou^cl, that ruler permit or allow one lone, dirty, ex-convict to set Out in his murderous career and create all the death and suffering that has crossed the world- in One year. One man who has no father, no mother, no wife, no children, no God, no church and no country, sits on his throne of gold and deals out blood and thunder, murder, rape, famine, suffering such as the world has never known, horror beyond description of mortal man and1 which a year ago would have been unbelieva ble; one man who directs the killing without notice or without mercy all who are in the path of his bloodthirsty brain; one man wno directs the blasting of a ship loaded with little children who were taken from their mother’s breast and going out of the coun try to a place of safety, throwing them by the hundreds into a high and treacherous sea; one man who laughs when a church or a hospital is blown to bits and its innocent victims tom arm v from arm; one man who directed his fleets of airmen to riddle with machine gun bullets the weary, struggling and frantic refugees wpo clogged the highways of Irance in |earch of safety from a brute never harmed or dreamed of harming; one man who directed the bombardment of Rotterdam when that neutral and unoffending city was invaded and blasted 25,000 innocent men, women and children to death in 7^. minutes of shell fire; one man who does not have the ele- j mental instincts of mercy which resides in the most ferocious beast. This one man is allowed to go unpunished day by day; he eats the best of food and drinks the best of wines; he wears the finest of uniforms and enjoys himself at will—perhaps enjoys the re ports of his death dealing gen erals out in the fields, in the air and on the seas. We have been taught that to break the Ten Commandments would send us to a fiery furnace after death; if we broke the Golden Rule we would be among the damned; and we must love our neighbor as ourselves. If this be true what kind of place should be prepared for Hit ler? If this be true it would take all of the minions of hell to con ceive of the torture that should be Hitler’s. If there is no special punishment for such sadist dogs as Hitler, then how can we believe there is a place of glory, of rest, t of reunion with friends, with golden music and continued hap piness? We still believe in the Bible and the works of God, but we repeat that our faith has been badly shaken. And it will continue to be shaken so long as such terrible acts, directed by one lone man, causing eternal death and des truction to millions daily, contin ues loose in the land. Third Term Fakery Frank R. Kent, well known po litical writer, in his column of Monday papers lashes out at !what he calls Roosevelt’s “Third iTerm Fakery.” His column reads jas follows: Washington, Sept. 29—In this j effort to smash the American i antithird-term tradition, there I are two outstanding pieces of fakery. One, of course, is the ! pretense that Mr. Roosevelt was I “drafted” for his third nomina tion. The other is the PresiT i dent’s pose that he personally is taking no active part in his own campaign. * * * The plain fact about these is that Mr. Roosevelt “drafted” himself, and is the managing di rector of his own campaign, not only mapping out general strate gy but devoting himself to var ious details and conferring with State politicians about their “lo cal situation.” The White House is his real political headquarters. These are crude fakes, so trans parent that they ought not to de ceive anyone. Yet they are basic in the third-term thesis. But, in addition, there are a ; number of smaller fakes, which combine to make this third Roosevelt campaign one of the most dishonest ever heard of. ! Literally, it reeks with false pre j tense. For example, there is the story spread by administration sources that there no longer is such a thing as a Roosevelt Brain Trust; that Mr. Thomas Cor coran and Mr. Benjamin Cohen have practically been banished from the White House; that they are no longer “close” to the Pres ident; that Mr. Roosevelt is a “changed” man, whose advisers are of a more mature and con servative type. Clearly, it was good policy to remove them as targets during the campaign. It would leave the enemy less to shoot at, obviate one source of rather widespread irritation. Hence, promulgation of the idea that the Brain Trust had been abolished, the Messrs. Corcoran and Cohen relegated to the tear and the President. “Changed" in his outlook. There are those who believed at the time that this interesting thought had been conceived and planted by the Corcoran-Cohen teath it self. It seems likely. At any rate, it is unadulterated bunk. There has been no change in the relations between Mr. Roose velt and the Corcoran-Cohen team. They are as close as ever. So, far from going out of exist ence, all that has happened to the Brain Trust is that it has been expanded to take in a few more literary left-wingers like Mr. Lowell Mellet and Mr. Laugh lin B. Currie. It functions as be fore and Mr. Roosevelt is not one whit more conservative than he has been. His advisers are the same. So is his disposition. The effort to convey the other im pression is simply another little piece of calculated campaign de ceit. WHO SOUNDS “RETREAT”? How oft’ my breast, in boyhood’s day, Swelled with the story Of U. S. A.—then on its way To lasting glory! It swells, at five and seventy, With fear-fraught sorrow Perfidy exhorts the Free To waive tomorrow. „ „ . I. A. KILGORE Yadkinville, N. C. THROUGH ." KEYHOLE By BILL RUTLEDGE BEFORE WINTER A haze on the far horizon, The infinite, tender sky, The ripe, rich lint of the corn fields And the wild goose sailing high; And all over upland and lowland The charm of the goldenrod; Some of us call it Autumn, And others call it God. _ WILLIAM CARRUTH * * • MAYBE SHE’S GOING TO VOTE FOR BOTH The office door opened and three little school girls, walked in. “Do you have Willkie badges?” the largest one in front asked. “Oh, yes,” we answered as we handed her three from the desk beside us. She very carefully pinned one on each of the others and one on her own sweater. “Would there be anything else?” we asked. “Yes,” said the smallest dress ed in the red sweater. “Do you have any Roosevelt badges?” ♦ * * YEAH, IT GOT US, TOO! Alan Browning, Jr., reporter on the Elkin Tribune, had a heck of a time figuring last week how many of Surry County’s men would be taken in Uncle Sam’s selective service draft. “After figuring together with a linotype operator and with our sister who used to be a school teacher,” he reported in effect, “we finally, after wearing out much copy paper and wasting too much time, decided that we didn’t know just how many would be drafted from Elkin.” NOPE, THE OLD BOY COULDN’T TAKE IT One of Yadkinville’s sons was telling in stentorian tones the other night the oldie of the theatre comedian being heckled by a voice from the balcony as he went through his routine. “Why, a drink of scotch never hurt anybody,” the comedian was saying to his partner. “Everyone of our family drinks whiskey oc casionally. My grandfather took a nip every day, and he lived to be 103.” “Yeah,” yelled the heckler from the audience, “So it finally got him!” AMERICAN BOY MAGAZINE COMPANION TO THOUSANDS Hundreds of thousands of boys and young men read The Ameri can Boy Magazine every month and consider it more as a living companion than as a magazine. “It’s as much a buddy to me as my neighborhood chum,” writes one high school senior. “The American Boy seems to under stand a boy’s problems and con siders them in such a sympathetic and helpful way. It gives advice and entertaining reading on every subject in which a young fellow is interested. It is particularly help ful in sports. I made our school basketball team because of play ing tips I read in The American Boy.” Many famous athletes in all sports credit much of their suc cess to helpful suggestions re ceived from sports articles carried in : The American Boy Magazine, Virtually every issue offers advice from a famous coach or player. Football, basketball, track, tennis, in fact every major sport is cov ered in fiction and fact articles. Teachers, librarians, parents and leaders of boys’ clubs also recommend The American Boy enthusiastically. They have found that as a general rule regular readers of The American Boy ad vance more rapidly and develop more worthwhile characteristics than do boys who do not read it. Trained writers and artists, famous coaches and athletes, ex plorers, scientists and men suc cessful in business and industry join with an experienced staff to produce in The American Boy the sort of reading matter boys like best. The American Boy sells on most newsstands at 20c a copy. Sub scription prices are $2.00 for one year or $3.50 for three years. For eign rates 50c a year extra.
