Volume XVIII. r This, That, and '1 the Other By Mrs, Theo. B. I)a\is Basic English is the name of a new course that is already being taught in some large cities. Meant especially for those who # need k simple direct speech and for foreigners learning our language, it has a vocabulary of about 850 words These are held to be suf ficient for business, scientific and social needs. I am reading with interest the series of preparatory articles on Basic English by Helen Walpole in The Christum Science Monitor and am awaiting eagerly list of words.

The first mile is to attend church when one has the oppor tunity. The second mile is made when one creates an opportunity. The first mile is to give feeling that it is a duty. The second mile is to give feeling that it is a blessed privilege. Services for Sunday, October 26: Church school —10:00. Church service—ll:oo.

Rotary Club Holds Meeting The Rotary Club held its usual 100 per cent meeting Friday even ing October 18. Durward Chamb lee had the program. His subject was “Farmers of Tomorrow.'' Durward said that if farming is changed in the future as much as it lias in the past, one would think he had crazy ideas if he could pre diet the future. The farm land at that time was about worn out and people were continually clearing land for it to be cultivated. Durward stat ed that he imagined future farm ers would take better care of their soil and think and look upon it as their bank accounts. He said farmers would do more buying and selling through the cooperative than they are today and mention ed other radical changes such is curing tobacco m air conditioned barns. Farmers in the future will be looked on as gentlemen of dis tinctive classes. He had Mr. Carroll Pippin, a new member of Zebulon, and Miss Cladies Fuse of Wendell to fur nish entertainment. Mr. Pippin was dressed as a Negro. They were thoroughly enjoyed and the club recognized them as being of rare talent.

Ford Davis joined sometime ago but his name failed to appear. News Left Out It is a matter of regret that of late several items have been left out each week, either because they came in after enough copy had been set to fill the paper, or because at the last minute they were crowded out by advertising. At least a part of this may be avoided. Send in your news by Tuesday night, if at all possible. We are trying to print the paper on Wednesday of each week. We shall endeavor to print all an nouncements and other items of general concern, even if some ! what late. All personals hel 1 over | appear in this issue. The W. L. Dcntons have moved from an apartment with Mrs. Vic toria Gill to the larger apartment in the Creech home, vacated by the Burley Mays. ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS The drive to amend, change, or totally repeal the Neutrality Act will in all probability succeed though there will be plenty of de bate in (aingress before the isola lioiu-t group of senators and rep r ntatives is f inished with its op position. And the fact that suc is likely, is a striking indica tion of the tremendous change in American public opinion that has taken place in the last two years. The Neutrality Act was passed it a time when the sentiment of this country was overwhelmingly opposed to direct or indirect inter vcntion in the war. The bulk of the people felt that the war was purely Europe's business, and none of ours. For the most part, they hoped Hitler would lx- defeated, but they didn’t see any reason for -pending their money, their re sonrees, and perhaps their lives to beat lum They wanted to keep American ships and American citizens out of the war zones, and they wanted their country’s f oreign trade to be on a cash-and carry basis, with foreign buyers takisg their purchases home in their own ships. The change that has taken place since those days is nothing short of revolutionary. Every poll shows that this country is now vio lently partisan It wants to see Hitler licked to a standstill, and it is willing to do everything, except send another A. E. F. abroad, to achieve that end. The lend-lease bill went a long way toward mak ing the Neutrality Act a dead let ter, in that it threw the cash-and carry principle overboard with scant ceremony. So far as amending the Neutral ity Act is concerned, the main es fort will be given to eliminating the stipulation that American ships cannot be armed and cannot enter war zones. Whether mer chant ships can be given sufficient armament to do any good, is a moot point which is vigorously de bated by both sides. Irrespective of that, it seems true that chang ing or amending the Act is pri marily designed by the Adminis tration and the Republican follow ers of Mr. Willkie, as a vital act of policy. In other words, it would place our cards on the tabic, and make our position ab solutely clear to the whole world. That position can be stated in a sentence. “The U. S. is going to do everything in its power to lick the Axis, and all legal pretenses of non partisanship must be aban doned.” The argument for repeal of the Neutrality Act was well put re cently by pundit Walter Lippman, most scholarly of the major col umnists. By adopting it, he wrote, we gave up our long-established, basic policy of freedom of the seas. In effect, we surrendered to Germany. In conclusion, he said: "Having been taught to believe by our neutrality law that what Ger mai y declares to be her purposes will in the end become accepted as American law, the Nazis have been preying on ships well outside our own self-imposed combat zone. It J happens that their combat zone is bigger than ours, and therefore, according to Berlin it is legal to sink ships there without warning. . . . The neutrality law has proved itself to be an act of 1 self-abasement, a mortifying sub mission to force, without logic, without honor and without value even to achieve the purpose for (Continued on Page Four) Number 14
