C., THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1943 BIBLE THOUGHT “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”—St. Paul to the Galations. CHARLOTTE SAVED AGAIN! Yesterday’s election ended one of the warmest local political fights seen in Charlotte in many years, and while the “majority of candidates who would have handed Charlotte over to vice and corruption, lock, stock and barrel,” were defeated, five of them sur vived. The “corruptionists” gained the office of Mayor. The above is all pre-election talk, and today they are all HONEST MEN and LOYAL CITIZENS again—and Charlotte will go on— a well-governed and a good city in which to live; time healing the wounds made in the political battle, even though a few scars and unpleasant memories may be left. -V “BURIED DEAD IN MORNING; SOLD BONDS IN AFTERNOON” The patriotism of American workers in 1917-1918 is recalled by the Office of War Information. During the Third Liberty Loan Drive, the Office of War In formation states, a Washington newspaperman thought up the idea of “matching the President.” When President Wilson bought a bond, each American citizen was urged to match his purchase. And the American workers came through. “The Fourth Liberty Loan,” the OWI continues, “was notable, not only for the results it obtained (the people subscribed almost $7,000,000,000 although only $6,000,000,000 was asked for), but also for the obstacles it overcame. The influenza epidemic swept through the country. One author says: ‘The workers buried their dead in the morning and sold bonds in the afternoon.’ ” This war the need is greater than ever. Are you buying all the bonds you can? THIS IS MY WAR! By NICHOLAS J. RICHARDS This is my war! If I now fail— The conflict lose—Of what avail Will be my wailing at the end, Because I would not comprehend. Or wrench aside my self-made veil? The task is mine! On a small scale, My strength employed, though weak and frail, If multiplied, will haste the end— THIS IS MY WAR! I dare not flinch! I must assail The force of WRONG on height or vale! If I my zeal with others lend My breaking back with others bend, I’ll share with HIM the Holy Grail— THIS IS MY WAR! F & R COAL & OIL CO. COAL, GASOLINE, KEROSENE, FUEL and MOTOR OIL 624 S. Cedar St. and P. ft N. Ry Phone S-6177 ‘NUFF SAID, MR. DOOLEY The sponsors of the anti-labor bUls passed in Colorado, Texas and other states, like the Congressmen who voted for the Hobbs bill, all say they’re for unions “if properly conducted.” On this, page Mr. Dooley: “Shure, said Mr. Dooley, “if properly conducted. An’ there we are; an’ how would they have them conducted? No strikes, no rules, no contracts, no scales, hardly any wayges an’ dam few members.” The Colorado act outlaws strikes, provides for only plant agreements, forbids court enforcement of existing contracts, in sists on the open shop, and provides for heavy fines for individual members for violations of the law by the “labor corporations”_ the law’s Fascist name for its “properly conducted unions.” ’Nuff sed, Mr. Dooley! -V JOURNAL READERS PATRONIZE JOURNAL ADVERTISERS Lend Lease Totals “In the past 12 months we shipped to our allies, under lend-lease or in fulfillment of previous direct purchase con tracts, 30 out of every 100 bombers we produced, 38 out of every 100 fighter planes, 28 out of every 100 light tanks, and 33 out of every 100 med ium tanks,” reports Lend Lease Administrator Stetti nius. t'OR VICTORY: BUY BONDS — - ano we FIGURING ro BOUGHT MY <SHAR£! fOR MORS BOMBS FOR A tokioI WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! 1 LYONS WHO WOM 259 &AMES FOR.
