BIBLE THOUGHT
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do ? The
Lord tryeth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth vio
lence his soul, hateth. Psalm 11:3,5.
.
Institutions devoted to the safeguarding and promotion of human
rigkt and .welfare built up through the ages are being destroyed by
methods like those used by, barbarian invaders sixteen centuries ago.

The Glenville Dedication
TTHE officials and the entire staff of the Nanta
hala Power and Light company are to be con
gratulated on the completion of the Glenville hydro
electric project. This achievement was celebrated by
a fitting dedication which not only honored those
who accomplished a great engineering feat, but
brought together a notable group of distinguished
citizens engineers, lawyers, publishers specialists
in various fields of creative endeavor.
The Governor . of North Carolina honored the oc
casion with his presence, sounding the keynote of
united effort to meet the national danger at this
time; Indeed, recognition that the danger this coun
try faces is both immediate and ominous was the
note of both formal and informal speeches made
from accurate knowledge of world and national
crisis. Whatever differences may have existed in
the past in their viewpoints, all were merged and
forgotten in the unity of purpose to meet the threat
of a Nazi-dominated world.
'. Here are some comments made by men in posi
tion to know whereof they speak.
Governor Broughton: "The world news is dis
turbing. Not since Dunkirk has the hour seemed
.darker. . . . I am happy that this plant has been
added to the great assembly of power in a nation
which faces such a big task.
, D. Hiden Ramsey: "Social well being, unless
rooted in economic well being, cannot endure."
Sir Herbert Gepp: "I suggest that the term 'Na
tional Defense' be broadened to 'Defense of Democ
racy. We are fighting power politics today,
and we must beat it if we are going to build a de
cent human race." .
Hon. J. A. Pope : "The situation has never been
so critical. I have just. returned from South Ameri
ca. . . . The people are friendly to the U. S. but the
politicians are sitting on the fence. Several states
would go Nazi if Hitler should win. ... The Am
bassador of Germany has five million to spend on
propaganda.
S. K. Colby : ". . . . a force that must gather to
gether all the various forces and make them func
tion together. . . .
". . . Flying fortresses . . . with which to defend
this country the only things between us and
chaos."
Letters to Editor
ONE REASON WHY
To the Editor of The "Franklin
Press
The election for bonds for a new
court house has passed and lost.
Rurhingtown, Cowee and High
lands townships turned the trick.
I don't know why ' Cowee and
Highlands voted so solidly against
for these two townships have ' been
well taken care of.
But Burningtown is different,
We have been begging for a road
for years, and all we got was a
road from Younce's store to the
Franklin township line -a distance
of two miles and a makeshift of
a road from the Lost Bridge up
Tellico about four and a half miles.
The road from Younce's store to
this Tellico road (Almond road),
a distance of four and a half miles;
has never been surveyed. True, the
WPA did follow the Old road-
horseshoe, bends and all and wid
ened the old road; but rocks-were
not blasted and no graveling was
done.
Swain county has built a fine
road from the highway near Al
mond up the west side of Ten
nessee river, asd even, around no
torious High Lonesome, to Macon
county line and graveled it. The
WPA then built the dirt part of
the road for one and a half miles,
but no blasting was done. The
rocks here are of a slate forma
tion, and the WPA graded out
and built abutments, some almost
ix feet high, to protect road from
high water.
But the State Highways and
Public Works commission has torn
these abutments down, and lined
water ditches over in Franklin
township with these very rocks.
Now can you blame us for voting
o solidly against ? And this will
hot be the only solid voting i:
the town and county influence is
hot for us .some, instead of against
us all the time. We are still beg
gmg for a road.

"Stop Him, Mr. Congressman"
are printing the following petition because
" we believe it to be a clear statement of the the
course toward which the foreign policy of the Unit
ed States should he directed. We feel that it will
express the convictions of most of our readers.
Since the actions of our leaders in congress are
largely determined by the opinions of the folks back
home, it is the duty of every citizen to express him
self concerning so important a matter.
Cards containing the petition printed below ad
dressed to Sen. Tom Conolay, chairman of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations committee, may be obtained
at the office of the Franklin Press:
To our Senators and Representatives:
"As freedom-loving citizens of the United States,
we recognize that our liberty, that democracy every
where will be ended unless Hitlerism is smashed.
"We, as well as the great majority of American
citizens, support the foreign policy of the President
of the United States. We therefore petition the Con
gress of the United States to repeal our suicidal,
hypocritical and dangerous Neutrality Act, to re
move the prohibition against arming our merchant
ships, and dissolve the ban which prevents vessels
flying the American flag from sailing the seven
Church Services
