Churchill Highlights From Sunday -Broadcast Here are some passages from the stirring address made, over a worldwide hookup from London last Sunday afternoon by Britain's prime minister; Hitler was spoken of as "that wicked , nun whose crime-stained regime and system are at bay and in the toils." With contempt he called Musso lini "the crafty, cold-blooded black-hearted Italian '., who had thought to "gain an empire on the cheap by : stabbing fallen France in the back."

WILD BILL" We stood ' our ground and faced the two dictators in . the hour of what! seemed their overwhelming triumph, arid we have shown our selves capable so far of standing up against them alone. Victories in Libya have broken irretrievably the Italian military power on the African'con tinent. I must not forget here to point out the amazing mechanical feats of the British tanks, whose, design and workmanship have beaten all records and stood up to all trials and show us how closely and di rectly the work in the factories, at home is linked with the victories abroad. At dawn this morning our Western Mediterranean fleet " entered the Gulf of Genoa and bombarded in a shat tering manner the naval base from which perhaps a Nazi German ' ex pedition might soon have sailed to attack General Weygand in Algeria or Tunis. MON.-TUES, FEB. 17-18 CAROLE LOMBARD ROBERT MONTGOMERY "MR. AND MRS. SMITH" IN WED.-THURS, FEB. 19-20 The events in Libya are only part of the story. They are only a part of the story of the decline and fall of the Italian empire; That will not take a future Gibbon so long to write as the original work. It seems now to be certain that the government and people of the United States intend to supply us with all that is necessary for victory. Put your confidence in us. Give us your faith and your blessing, and under providence all will be well. We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of bat tle nor the long drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job. 26 Attend Timber Demonstration On Monday, February 10, two timber stand improvement demon strations were conducted in Ma con county. The demonstrations- were under the supervision of Mr. Barker, forestry specialist, from the N. C. State college. The demonstration Monday morning i was held on the farm of Harley Stewart of the Patton community. Approximately 40 Ma con county farmers and agricul tural students attended this dem onstration. Mr. Barker first dis cussed the value of our timber to industry and the different uses to which this timber can be put. He also compared our timber produc tion" to other countries and told how we should become timber con scious and conserve our -woods, be cause it is an important part of our farming program not only for home consumption but also as a part of our cash income. Mr. Bar ker then discussed the market value of the different trees in this country. Unfit TrM Marked After the discussion Mr. Barker marked trees in Mr. Stewart's woods that should be taken out. The , trees thus marked were ones that were crooked, dead, unfit for market and ones that were grow ing so close together as to hinder proper growth and development. I he demonstration Monday aft ernoon was a continuation of timb er stand improvement that had al ready been started on the farm of Mr. Ben Lenoir in Cartooge chaye Township. This demonstra tion was started by Mr. E. J. Whitmire, Franklin Vocational Agricultural Teacher and Franklin High School Agricultural students. The demonstration on this farm was along the same lines as the one held on Mr. Stewart's farm. Twenty-six - farmers and agricul tural students attended this dem onstration. Fanners in Macon county who are contemplating timber stand improvement as a part of their soil building practices in coopera tion with the AAA Program are urged to visit these demonstra tions.
