ward and Pressing Forward."
Mr. W. R. Nichols, Sunday

presented Mr. Smith Hagaman,

fitting tributes to both Mr. and
Mrs. Mason who have served
churches in Marion, Williamstan,

Greensboro. New Friendship, and
at Forbush.
READERS SAY:
Dear Editor:
While sitting in my home the
other day, thinking of the past,
my mind could not help but turn
to thoughts of Mr. Jim Pardue,
who passed away recently. One
of my good friends, I miss him
very much.
His life reminds me of the man
that David spoke of in the 1st
Psalm. “Blessed is the man that
walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way
of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat
of the scornful.” 2nd, “But his
delight is in the law of the Lord,
and in His law doth he meditate
day and night.” 3rd, “And he
shall be like a tree planted by
the rivers of water that bringeth
forth his fruit in his season. His
leaf also shall not wither and
whatsoever he- doeth shall pros
per.”
However, Mr. Pardue has left
us, and we know he will be miss
ed. May we bow in humble sub
mission to His will, and say thy
will be done.
A friend,
REV. R. L. SPEER
Dear Editor:
I am sad indeed to learn of the
poor health of one of Yadkin
county’s finest citizens. Rev.
Wade H. Adams.
Brother Adams was at one time
the leading Minister of the
Friends church in the Yadkin
Valley quarterly meeting, and has
given his life to the work of
building up the principles of the
Friends church. In his declining
years he is able to say with Paul
of old: “I have fought a good
fight. I have kept the faith.
Henceforth, there is laid up for
me a crown at the end of the
race.”
Yours truly,

It Pays to
Advertise!
Mr, Clarence Hall, of Yadkin
ville Route 1, is inclined to be
lieve in the old adage or slogan,
“It pays to advertise,” Several
days ago Mr. Hall inserted the
following message in a Winston
Salem weekly newspaper: “I
want a wife. I have two chil
dren, and my wife is dead. My
age is 29, and I am a Republi
can.”
The next time Mr. Hall went to
the mail box, believe it or not, as
Mr. Ripley would say, therein re
posed sixteen letters, all answer
ing his proposal for a wife. Fin
ally, he narrowed the field down
to his choice, and applied for a
marriage license at the Register
of Deeds office.
The little lady of his choice was
Miss Belle Marshall, of Low Gap,
N. C., whose age was given as
twenty. They were united in
marriage by Justice of the Peace
A. A. Williard in the court house
Monday afternoon.

Christmas Seal
Sales Chairman
The annual Christmas seal
sales campaign got under way here
Thanksgiving. day with Mrs. Es
telle V. Johnson as chairman for
Yadkin county and she reports
that sales are coming up to form
er years.
Seals are not being mailed out
all over the county as is the cus
tom in most areas, but they may
be obtained by writing or calling
Mrs. Walter Zachary, Mrs. Lon
West, or Mrs. R. A. McLaughlin,
all of Yadkinville.
Yadkin county has no specific
quota of sales but in the past it
has contributed generously to the
nation wide campaign to raise
funds to fight tuberculosis. Seven
ty-five per cent of the money
contributed by the county, re
mains in the county. Twenty
five per cent is forwarded to the
State organization.
Last year the county’s fund was
used by the department of health
for making X-rays of suspected
tuberculin patients in order to
determine the course of treat
ment.
The National Tuberculosis As
sociation, promoters of the sale
of Christmas Seals, was organized
in 1904, having as its objective
the education of people to methods
of combating tuberculosis. Three
points have always been empha
sized by the organization: (1)
tuberculosis is catching, (2) it is
preventable, (3) if discovered in
the early stages it is curable.

Yadkin Criminal
Court Record;
Officers Assist
Since the establishment of the
Yadkin County Criminal Court a
little more than one year ago there
-have been 72 defendants tried on
the charge of operating automo
biles in Yadkin county while in
toxicated. Of these tried 59 were
found guilty; 5 were convicted of
lessor offenses, and 8 were ad

pendents served road sentences
and the others paid fines in the
total of $2,950.00 and also paid
costs to the amount of approxi
mately $1,200.00, according to
Judge S. C. Williams.
Judge Williams in commenting
on this record states that it is
one of the three best records in
the state and that it was made
possible only by the constant and
hearty cooperation of Sheriff In
score and his deputies as well as
the State Highway patrolmen in
this territory and Hugh Dinkins,
town constable of the town of
Yadkin ville. Drunken driving
cases represent about 10 per cent,
since its establishment. Judge

IN NEW FIGHT
English Attacking Series of
Italian Forts
ITALIANS MAY ESCAPE
London Calls Upon R. A. F.
to Patrol Atlantic Sea
Lanes for Raiders
ARE TO COMBAT SUBS
London. Dec. 11—British forces
have trapped parts of two crack
Italian divisions in the Egyptian
desert and have hopes of sur
rounding the entire divisions,
numbering perhaps 30,000 men,
military informants said today.
The chance of the Italians to
escape encirclement depends on
the extent of their motorization
—the speed with which they are
able to withdraw—provided the
British are able to hold their new
positions, it was said.
For the present the British
were reported to be attacking a
series of defensive forts in prep
aration for a drive against the
main Fascist army in the coastal
zone between Sidi Barrani mid
Solium, on the Libyan frontier, it
was reported.
British attacks on some of
these forts, called perimeter
camps, around Sidi Barrani, al
ready have succeeded, military
informants said.
Fighting was proceeding today,
they said, in the neighborhood of
the important camp at Maktila
15 miles west of Sidi Barrani.
British Empire motorized units
had driven a wedge through the
Italians south of Sidi Barrani, it
was reported, and in that way
trapped thousands of men by
cutting them off from the main
Italian body farther west.
Pockets of Italian troops, still
resisting in the remaining desert
forts, are now under attack, in
formants said.
TO PATROL ATLANTIC
London, Dec. 11—Britain today
called upon its young airmen,
credited with having saved it
from invasion in September, to
patrol the Atlantic sea lanes and
save it from the threat of starva
tion at the hands of U-boats, sur
face raiders and ocean-flying
bombing planes.
Prime Minister Winston
Churchill announced yesterday
that the admiralty was overtak
ing operational policy of the
coastal command of the Royal
Air Force because it was neces
sary to use bombing and recon
naissance planes to guard mer
chant ships and convoys.
This was interpreted as Bri
tain’s 1940 answer to the subma
rine and raider menace. The
convoy system was the answer in
1917.
Churchill announced a week
ago that he personally was tack
ling the problem of dissipating
the new threat to Britain’s life.
