BIBLE THOUGHT See that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeem ing the time, because the clays are evil Ephesians 5:15. "Difficulty is Opportunity." THE POCKET BOOK of KNOWLEDGE Closer Home AS battle fronts loom darker on all sides, the war fronts come closer. Australia is nearer since General MacArthur from Corregidor and John C. Shope from Macon county arrived there safely. Some sons have written to stop their Franklin Press because they are sailing for foreign, unnamed ports. Some are already in Panama, in Ireland, on islands in the Pacific and on the high seas. We will soon be saying "Europe, Asja, Africa and Australia", not to -i101 Eastei'n Hemishejei5uTto designate the where abouts ti&yfikhy American Expeditionary Forces. It becomes increasingly evident that mounting defeats of the United Nations on many fronts can be turned into victories only when and if American men as well as machines can do the job. No amount of civilian hating at home is going to help the boys who have to do the fighting. The whole thing is too colossal and all-enveloping for those at home to feel anything less than the terrible closeness of catastrophe. We know there must be other Bataans before this war is won. Ships are sunk in sight of our shores, and their number grows, Diplomatic defeats on the fronts in India and France bring dark forebodings of difficult days ahead. It is com ing home to us that we are only later in the picture as the war comes nearer and at last a false security is shattered.

VBH lW9 W9 L THILMT. rT of -! 1 mat Friends In Need NE bright note in an otherwise dark week has been Pan-American Day celebrated through the Western Hemisphere last Tuesday. The Good Neighbor policy expressed through ,our diplomatic and economic relations with the other American Republics has become a reassur ing bond to all the Americas in the face of Eastern Hemisphere death-dealing enmities. What was superior isolationism enjoyed by many Americans, with as little knowledge of inter est in other American countries as in those across oceans, has now grown into a welcome friendship as enemies grow more menacing in other quapters. We are glad to have some good friends who will stand with us in time of need. We have. made a pleasant discovery that our friendship is recipro cated as courtesies are exchanged and closer con tacts cultivated. In spite of different languages and cultural backgrounds, the friendship grows mutu ally in the emphasis on those interests which the Americas have in common. This new spirit of unity among the American Republics is an encouraging note for the present as well as the future. An eminent journalist from Brazil, speaking in Atlanta on Tuesday is reported in an Atlanta Jour nal editorial as saying, "It was a good omen for the Rio conference where the United States went to seek not only copper, tin and rubber, but true friendship and brotherhood in the hour of darkest danger and direst need." Letters to Editor ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A BALL TEAM? Dear Editor: The question, "Are we going to have a ball team this year?" has been, asked often during the past three weeks. It seems that nothing is being done about it. Last year we played our first game in May. At the present time, the team has not even met to organize. It is the usual custom for last year's manager to call the team together and get things started. What aibout it, Mr. W. C. Newton.? We know that the baseball fans in this community are anxious to have a team this year more so than ever, as President Roosevelt has requested that America's Greatest Game be continued for the dura tion of the war, if possible. We must all work hard, but we must have recreation also, and what's more fun than watching a good ball game on a nice sunny after noon ? We understand the Franklin high school has organized a ball team this year, and we'd ven.ture to say that they'd like to play the Frank lin All-Stars their opening game. What about it All-Stars? Are you going to let us' down this year? A BALL FAN. A Ball Team LETTER to the editor this week echoes the hopes of many fans in this and adjoining coun ties It is hoped that this will "start the ball roll ing" for a good season. The Great American Game will continue throughout the season in most small towns as well as the big games of the big leagues. Macon county and Franklin have been in the base ball picture in past years and there is no reason why the team should not now get ready to uphold the good name of our town and county in the league of neighboring teams. Aside from the wholesome recreation afforded to those who attend ball games, reference is made in the letter published on this page, to the special re quest by the President that ball games be continued and sustained in all communities in spite of the loss of many players to the armed forces of the nation. This is a pleasant and patriotic duty de manded of the able-bodied men who are yet in civilian life and who wish to do something useful for their nation and community on the home front. This and That By FRANKIE MACON Mussolini has advised the South American natiort6 to remain neu tral probably wishing very heartily that he had. One alarmist says that an ac count of the metals shortage there soon won't be any pennies and nickels. Well, there's nothing much you can buy with them anyhow The new tax bill must be somed bracing about 2,130 acres within ... v.. l. t r c thing awful when even Congress hasn't the nerve to tell us how bad it is. It might save Japan a lot of future anguish if her ruling states'. men would read over Aesop s fable of the frog that swelled up a lit tle too much. We didn't realize what a good move MacArthur made in going to Australia until we found out how much it displeased the Nazi and the Japs. On account of the rubber scar city a reduction has been ordered in the production of suspenders and garters. This is going to cause the Administration to lose a lot of supporters. Rationing razor blades is all right if it will help win the war. Anyhow, that way we won't win by a close shave. The golf ball shortage isn't so bad. Most of the people who have been buying them don't know how to use them, anyhow. SHALL WE BE FOUND WANTING We live in days which are go ing to test each and every man. Not only individuals but also: the corporate life of our day must face this testing. The ability of any man or or ganization to meet the test of our day is determined by tke spirit of courage, taith. and sacrifice which give victory in the face of ovenrnelming difficulty Soldier, aviator, tailor, laborer, executive, the President in the White Howe, ite7.lswee'pi&g munitions plant floor, the woman at the type writer, the engineer at the throttle, the Negro at the wheel of his truck, the child in the home, the minister in his church, must have this spirit or in the testing of our day he will be "weighed in the balance .and found wanting." It is not a day when individual or corporate groups cats merely seek survival but rather . we must have a reckless eagerness to give our selves for the cause we serve that it may survive. We are called as never before to prove aur belief in the Cause of Christ. Courage will drown the voice of defeatism which tempts us to think that the work of Church might have to wait because retrenchment would force us to get along with less. Gear and alert vision will dis the Maginot Line which might us with the idea that the urch must be content to be on the defensive in these days. This is the task before us in preparing for the testing we must all face in this day of crisis. It is part of the effort necessary to make America more Chrisian and to prepare her for her full share in building a better world. The difficulties before us are great. We .need not be discouraged. Rather we must press forward to the high calling to which we are summoned. Bishop St. George Tucker. National Forest Timber for.
