Word was made fle,sh ;i held his glory, the glory as f the full 'of grace, and truth St. John A Voice From France "1XH . hear much these days from more or less worldly sources abotit the spiritual failures that have helped to bring about this war. Here is a story that lifts our feet of clay off the ground and our fearful souls above our groveling minds. Dorothy Thompson brings it to us, straight out of flaming France. She tells in her column how she managed a coveted interview with Antoine de Saint-Kxupery author of Wind, 4 Sand and Stars. On two days leave from his reconnaissance flying she. protested that he so gifted a writer -should le in this, the. most dangerous service. "You can write . . . you see things ahead. France Europe will .need you." "You are absolutely wrong" he answered her. "Nobody has a right to write a word today who does not participate to the fullest' in the agony of his fellow human beings. . . .. And what holds true for this war has got to hold true for everything. The Christian idea has got to be served; that the Word be made FTesh. One must write with one's body.-' : , "The reason why we are in this war, why .there is a Hitler, why our whole civilization is crumbling tip is because this has not been so. Our words and our actions are not one. We say things and pre tend to believe things, but what we say is not translated into the deed. And the deed is divorced from Faith, from the Word. And so, since we have not been all of a piece ourselves, personally, and in all our institutions, we have been divided souls and a divided society, and therefore we have been an impotent society. To be free means to be trust worthy. Otherwise no one is safe in freedom. A democracy must be a brotherhood. Otherwise it is a lie." Dr. Ritchie In A New Role rR. A. J. Ritchie, beloved founder and retired president of Rabun Gap school, has issued a unique letter to the people of his county. Not only because Rabun county is our next door neighbor in Georgia, but also because of Dr. Ritchie's neigh borly ways toward Macon county through the years, his doings will never cease to be of interest to the many he has served on the North Carolina side. We know that whatever course Dr. Ritchie pur sues, something fine and helpful will result. He has devoted his life to educating those who would not have had an education or anything else except for him and the school he created. . Now, in his own way, he is offering t5 serve in a new role. We wish him godspeed for the sake of Georgia. '-. Here is part of his statement: "More and more of the leading people of the county' are urging me to offer as a candidate for the Senate. I see, as all of you do, that the public affairs of our State are in such a mess that men should be sent to the Legislature-to straighten things out. It is a shame for Georgia as the great Empire State of the South to be in such a plight about paying her school' teachers and to be accused of corruption, wholesale -extravagance, and the shabby politics for which she has a reputation at this time. "You know me as a man who cares nothing for political office. . . . I feel that if you as thought ful and patriotic citizens want me to undertake this task and the responsibility that goes with it, it is up to you to see to it that the call for my services is made without there being any opposition. "At this period of my life and in view of the man ner in which I have spent it in a free and voluntary way, I have no desire to enter into a contest for a public office with any other citizen.-The question of whether you want me to represent you is thus up to you as men and women who know my whole story and what I stand for. Faithfully yours, Number 24 Johnson. . .Publisher Advertising THOUGHT and dwelt among us, (and we be only begotten of the Father,) 1 :14. First Combine To 7 Come To Macon County The farmers' of Macon county will be glad to know that Charles W., Nolen of Route 1 has bought a new combine and tractor the first to come to Macon county. This combine will cut, thresh and put the grain in the sack ready for the grainery. It will save, all small grains, clover,- lespedeza, barley, millet, and soy beans. This leaves the straw on the ground to be turned under. Farmers Urged To Save Legume Seed By SAM MENDENHALL Information is: received at the County Agent's office almost each week regarding the possibility of a considerable advance in the price of legume seed. This increase in price will be due to the increased demand for this seed caused by the splendid cooperation of the farmers in the Agricultural Con servation Program and too there is a possibility of a considerable shortage of certain legume seed caused by the European countries being at war. Farmers of Macon county have shown a substantial increase in the seeding of all legumes. This in crease has been most outstanding each year since tihe Agricultural Conservation Program was first started and it is hoped that there will be a continued increase thi year. . '! Farmers who have any type of legume On the farm should be making plans now to save- seed and thus prevent an out lay of cash Wihen the different seeds are desired for seeding. In recent years it has been next to impossible to employ any one to save soybeans or cowpeas. The different varieties of clover seed are rarely ever saved, Lespedeza seed has been planted and thresh ed to a certain extent. Seed Demonstrations It is possible now for farmers to have any variety of legume seed saved. There have been two com bines purchased by men in the county, the services of which may be secured on a toll bases or so muth cash per acre. Charles Nolen on Cartoogechaye has one of these machines and Carol Reynolds and Woodrow Gibson on Cowee has the other.' These combines are to be demonstrated in the near future on saving both small grain and legume seed. A notice will be in The Press regarding the dates for these seed saving demonstrations. Since the indications are that there, will be an advance in the price of legume seed it is hoped that every farmer who has seed that could be saved will do f so, either by hand, with a pan, by cutting and threshing, or by the use of a combine. : Lespedeza, soybeans, cowpeas and the different varieties of clover seed will be of great value to the farms and farmers, of our county especially when we save our own seed and keep the money that would have been spent for these seed at home.

Communications Highlands, N. C. Franklin Press,' Franklin, N. C Dear Editor: . May I air the views of one un important man, in the matter oi giving immediate material aid to the Allies. Freedom, Liberty, The Demo cratic way of life are God given states given to those having the courage to fight for it and retained only by those having the deter mination to fight off all attacks against it. The thrusts against this God given state are Continual, so pacifist within the ranks is a traitor. It is for this reason that I be lieve Senators Reynolds and Bailey to be traitors to the people of North Carolina, America; and God, else why do they fritter away the hours while this German cancer on civilization erodes our front line defences? We have two thousand planes that could be spared and sent to the Allies tomorrow, many pilots would volunteer. Not only do I be lieve we should send the planes because it is our Christian duty but also because it is our. best defense for self preservation.

"Today, milk and other dairy products are relatively cheap; and in June, being the season of abun dance on the market, prices al ways tend downward. Therefore, during the month of June, milk will be among the most economical food purchases of any f amily. , I ad monish' the people of North Caro lina to drink more milk, use more butter, cheese and ice cream, and therefore increase the health and at the same time add to the sta-. b.ility of this industry in a period of peak production." . U. S. Milk Total. The U. S. milk supply annually totals 51 billion quarts says the Milk Industry Foundation. Fluid milk the kind you get on your doorstep, at groceries, res- ( taurants, soda fountains accounts for 15 million quarts annually." . Butter making uses Wt billion quarts, cheese 3 billion quarts. About 2 billion quarts are canned. Ice cream takes V3 billion quarts and another billion goes 1 into miscellaneous products. Twelve billion quarts are con sumed on farrrcs or made into farm butter or . fed to livestock. The dairy industry is promoting June as Dairy Month to increase the consumption of milk and its products when milk production is at a peak.
