The War
Comes Home
Few of us feel directly the keen
loss and deep sorrow cast by thej
shadow of war. First comes the
news of the death of some un-1
known and far distant soldier, an
other’s son. Few of us feel more
th n the surge of sympathy for,
some mother in the emptiness of'
her heart for a son. As the dead- j
ly tread of the god of war moves
on, the spread of death follows'
his bloody trail. But no one ful
ly knows the whole meaning or
the awfulness of war till it enters
his home and takes the life of a
loved one.
We know something of all this
and believe we understand. Asj
we remember the loss of our own
son, we feel that we know what
the blow of death meant to the
families oi Curtis Critz, Louis
Poythress, Bobby Horton, Clinton
Moss, Richard Hoyle, and, last,
Charles Whitley. They were
young men with the hopes and
promises of youth. Now their
mothers, like Rachel of old, weep
for the sons that are not. No won
der mothers especially hate war,
robbing them of the reality of the
present and the hopes of the fu
ture, their dreams of goodness and
greatness for sons who suffer in
this unnecessary and irreparable
catastrophe. We have gone that
way, we have sat where they sit,
and can enter the shadows with
them.
On January third, Charles Whit
ley, the only son of our friend and
neighbor, fell a victim to the
scourge of war somewhere on the
battlefields of Europe. We re
member Charles as a baby, as a
small boy, a youth, and last, a
young man. As a child he was
modest, almost timid. He was
quiet and reserved. He was a
home boy, a father’s son. He was
interested in his father’s manifold
business. No doubt he was al
ready considering the opportuni
ties and responsibilities that would
ultimately become his.
With such hopes and promises
blighted, what parent, passing un
der the rod, would not be broken
hearted and have troubled doubts
to arise? What if all the love and
sacrifice and training were in
vain and there was nothing be
yond to comfort, as Paul fittingly
expressed it, “it in this life only
we have hope, then of all men we
are most miserable”? But a moth
er’s love, a father’s care, the
blessings of home and church and
school are not wasted, nor in vain.
Like man, youth was not born to
die. All the possibilities encased
in a young man's body and soul
are to be realized and perfected
in the eternal abiding place. Per
fection belongs to the soul, to be
realized here or there. The at
tributes of God clothing the soul
will be the perfect qualities of the
abounding youth in glory. Charles
Whitley and those youths like him
are not to be found lying unfor
gotten on yonder battlefield, but
they are where eternal peace
abides and the angels’ songs never
cease.
These young men were born
with expanding gifts. Death did
not stop their progress and expan
sion. They either arrived in glory
perfected, or will go on till traits
of sainthood are reached in per
fected men in Christ Jesus. Their♦
goodness and service to mankind
will be perfected in eternity. The
memory of the good and true and
beautiful things in their “lives and
characters will once more become
a reality, only more completely to
be found when mothers embrace
them again. The eternal things
of God never stop short of com
pleteness. Youth cut short in time
will be found perfected beyond
the strand.
God would not call my son’s
death, nor your son’s death, a
tragedy in his plan of the ages.
They have not only entered into
rest, but into the school of the
Great Teacher for completion as
citizens of the heavenly king
dom. When we see them
I
once again, they will be all
that we knew and lost, freed from
sin, sorrow and death. May the
memories of the past and the
hopes of the future be a solace in
our sorrow and a satisfaction to
our souls to know that what God
lets happen will in His purpose
for His own be for the good of all
His children. May the words of
Jesus and Paul be God’s whisper
ed message now, comforting to
fathers and mothers everywhere:
“Let not your heart be troubled,” |
for “we sorrow not as those who
have no hope.”
HEADQUARTERS SEVENTH
ARMY
While serving on the Seventh
Army front in Eastern France,
First Lieutenant Philip D. Pearce,
of Zebulon, was awarded the
Bronz e Star Medal by order of
j Major General W. W. Eagles,
! former commander of the veteran
i 45th “Thunderbird” Division.
Lt. Pearce, executive officer j
1 for an artillery battalion of the j
i Division, received the award for
“meritorious service in combat”
; throughout the Italian and French
I campaigns.
Now credited with over 365
days of actual combat since it
participated in the invasion cf
| Sicily, the local soldier’s division
played an important fighting roie
in the invasion of the Italian
mainland and fought for three
and a half months on the famed
Anzio Beachhead.
On the morning of August 15,
1944, th e Division swept ashore
near the town of St. Maxim*?
along the French Riviera with the
first units of Lieutenant General
i Alexander M. Patch’s American
Seventh Army to land in France.
Since then it has fought its way
through Southern France: had a
major battl e at Baume Les Dames
where it succeeded in crossing the
Dobbs River to seize the town;
crossed the Moselle to capture
Epinal: and was one of the first
divisions to cross the German
border in the Seventh Army sec
tor of the Western Front.
The veteran outfit is now un
der command of Major General
Robert T. Frederick

HANDICAPPED WORKERS IN
INDUSTRY
In a report to the United States
Bureau of Statistics, 300 estab
lishments gave the opinion that
physically handicapped workers
employed in factories are just as
efficient in their jobs as their nor
mal fellow' workers. The Bureau
in a recent survey found that 87
per cent o fthe 63,382 impaired
workers employed in these estab
lishments were as competent as
other workers doing similar wor<,
and the eight percent reported as
more efficient outweighed the five
percent reported less efficient.
THINGS TO COME—Automo
bile steering wheels covered with
synthetic rubber. The underlying
metal of the wheel will be dipped

ber is adhered to wire dish

try, they’re a de luxe development
of the chicken pattie idea . . . For

; SIGN POSTS—AII signs, both
pre-war and war-time, point to
the can-opener continuing as one
! of America’s essential pieces of
i kitchen equipment.
In the 15 years from 1925 to
1940 the per canita consumption
of canned vegetables increased 55
per cent and the increase in can-
I ned fruits was 86 per cent. Dur
; ing the five year period between
1 1935 and 1940 the consumption of
j canned grapefruit juice quadru
pled. while sales of canned beer
; n the period 1937-1941 increased
125 percent.
Although American civilians
have perforce learned to get along
without many of the canned items
which in peacetime were stanles
oh their pantry shelves, millions
of their fellow Americans in uni
form have become used to a vari
ety of new canned foods.

cow a bag full of comfort, kind
treatment, ample water, salt,
grain mixture, silage and good,

There is a lack of warehouse
space for cotton and many grow -
ers have not been able to take
advantage of the Government pur
chase program, says Dan F. Holl

NOVEMBER CHILD LABOR
•REPORT FOR N. C.
November figures on the em
ployment of minors under the age
of 18 totaled 5,313, with boys
taking the lead by 2,858 over the
2,455 girls employed.
Minors of 16 and 17 years of
age received 3,704 certificates
with receiving 1,577 and girls 1,-
039. Certificates issued to minors
under 16 came to 1,609 with 552
for boys and for girls. Twen
ty-five boys of 12 and 13 years * f
age received permits for working
as newsboy.
Industries employing miners el
16 and 17 years of age on first
regular certificates amounted to
2,384 manufacturing employing
1,226 boys and 4-2 girls; non
manufacturing, 305 boys and 393
girls. Vacation and part-time per- |
mits were issued to 676 minors ol
16 and 17 years; 610 worked in
nonmanufacturing industries; 65 j
in manufacturing and one in con- j
struction.
A movement has been begun to
increase the years of compulsory
school attendance, making 16 in
stead of 14 years the age at which
a pupil may be guided by his own
or his parents’ desire for an edu
cation.
This would do much to prevent
child labor and also to circumvent
the idle habits into which young
persons may fall when neither in
school nor employed.
Wake Co. Helped
By Polio Funds
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
has paid, and is paying, all ex
penses for the care and treatment
of nine cases of infantile paraly
sis in the county in the last year,
Mrs. Elsie Mims Walker, county
chairman, revealed today.
These nine cases, a part of the
,618 cases treated at the Hickory,
Charlotte, and Gastonia hospitals
during the 1944 epidemic, received
help on all doctor’s bills, local
hospital expenses, and private am
bulance services.
At this time, Mrs. Walker said,
one little girl from Raleigh is at
Warm Springs, Georgia, for spec
ial treatment with the Wake
County Chapter paying the ex
penses. A Negro child from Wake
Forest, RFD 2, will soon be trans
ferred from the Hickory hospital
to the Tuskegee Institute, Ala
bama, for special treatment.
Mrs. Walker said that the Wake
County patients are Robert
Adams, 15, of Willow Springs;
