BIBLE THOUGHT
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within me. Psalm 51:10.
fhe best definition I know of purity of heart is just here: a pas

The War Marches On"
THE headlines of the jast week tell the story of
of the fast moving drama of this war, as the
conflagration spreads in Europe, Asia and Africa.
As Berlin claims "gigantic victories over Reds",

.in Smolensk area." Advances on this longest of bat
tle lines in the world's history have cost stagger
ing losses in lives that defy imagination.
As Japan sends troops to establish bases in
French Indo-China with the consent of the Nazi
dominated Pichy government, and prepares to move
into Thailand, Great Britain and the United States
unite to warn this axis partner to abandon "move
r, ments of conquest" in the Pacafic before it is too
' late.
Meanwhile, Britain takes every precaution to for

aggression which, Anthony Eden says, threatens
the security of that strategic port: While there is
yet no word to hint that the United States will
go further than apply the strong economic sanc
tions that have closed our doors to her ships, Act
ine Secretarv of State Welles denounced the Japa
nese move into Jndo-China as "endangering the
safety of other areas of the Pacific, including the
du:i:: Tr.inl." nnA itiot it "hfai-c Hirprtlv iinnn

the vital problem of our national security."
Eden has likewise told the House of Commons
that "our forces of men and material in the Middle
East are being strengthened for their next forward
blow" while British troops in Syria and Iraq facing
Iran, the next objective of Hitler.
On the home front, the RAF continues its
"around-the-clock offensive" against Germany's
war machine in Western Europe.
The rumored meeting between President Roose
velt and Prime Minister Churchill somewhere 'in
the Atlantic, whether true or not, fits into the pat
tern of unity being formed between Britain and the
United States for closer collaboration to defeat axis
world domination.
There is prospect that the terms of service of
men drafted into training' into the United States
Army will be extended to meet the emergency.
In a statement of Secretary ot btate uoraen nun,
released this week, calling for unity of all free peo
ples against aggression, this wise Tennesseean re
veals that a world movement of conquest by force
has been insisted upon by him and others for a
long time.
He predicted that this would be accompanied "by
methods of governing the conquered peoples that
are rooted in savagery and barbarism." He says
that the situation calls for "ever increasing produc
tion of military supplies both for ourselves and for
those who are resisting would-be world conquer
ors", appealing for absolute unity among Amer
ican people first, and among the free peoples who
have not yet been conquered.

A uet of the Demonstration Club of Cartooge
chaye. This historic valley, with rich associations
as well as soil has been the home of many of the
county's most useful citizens who have gone out to
enrich other communities as wrell as those families
that have remained to enjoy its blessings and to
serve their home community.

elsewhere and who will appreciate these recipes as
reminders of friends back home.
'Tips For Tourists"
A N informative sheet, mimeographed and entitled
"Tips For Tourists", has been prepared for

gift from the Lions Club, this latest addition to
Franklin publicity is designed to aid both the
Franklin hosts and visitors.

streets of the town, giving locations of all hotels,
inns, eating places and private homes that serve
the tourists; also churches, theatre, hospitals and
filling stations. Accomodations "outside of the
map" are also listed.
On the other side are outlined interesting facts
about Franklin and vicinity, place, to see and the
things to do before leaving Macon county. Both
citizens and visitors will be grateful to the Lions
