Our enemies are well aware of the ease with which cas ual hits of mis-information can be spread and mag nified through the "I heard" and "They say" net works. None of us would knowingly give aid to our enemies by passing on their subtle propaganda but whether it be done maliciously or through un awareness of its nature the result will be injury for our cause and possibly, directly or indirectly, unnecessary casualties among our far-flung fight ing forces. , There is an old story of a lady who thought lessly passed on a bit of unsupported gossip about ^ a neighbor. She simply thought it amusing. But the story grew and grew to such a maligant finale that a home was wrecked. In utter remorse she told her pastor of her sorrow and begged him to tell her how she could make amends. After painful deliberation he handed her a Bible. "Daughter", he said, Go out into the Church yard, tear this Book to bits and throw the pieces to the winds. Then come back". Shocked but obedient the young matron did so. Upon her return the minister sorrowfully told her "Now, daughter, go out and pick up ali the pieces and put them together again". Well may we heed the old Army admonition, "Believe nothing you hear and only half that you sec" ? as regarding war rumors of doubtful origin. And to this may be added another one: "Button your lip". Somewhere i Boy Hat a Rendezvous with Death COMEWHERE a bov has a rendezvous with death tonight. Whether on a carrier's deck in the Pacific, amid the burning sands of North Africa, or in the trop ical forests of New Guinea ? whether swift and per ilous, or terrible and slow his going ? he is giving to his fellow men the greatest gift a man can give. The years unlived ? the warmth and laughter and the tears, and ? most precious gift of all ? his sons that might have been. All these he is giving. No effort of ours, now, can stay the speeding bullet that has his number on it. What to hirg. now, are the bonds we buy or the guns we build? With nothing that is bought or sold, with noth ing that is made of human hands, can we share his sacrifice. What gift can we give to match his ? what sac rifice can we make? The answer will come from that still small voice within our own hearts. For no one can tell us how many bonds to buy, how hard to work on the guns arid planes and tanks we build, to keep his gallant effort from hav ing been in vain. Yes, we must each decide the measure of our own obligation ? the gasoline we - do not use, the pints of blood we donate, the food we do without, and all the other appeals we answer ? to make the precious gift he made worthwhile. Not for the boy who is dying tonight, but be cause he is dying, we can make our sacrifices to the cause of freedom. ? Reprinted from General Electric Monogram. Good Citizens Leave Franklin will miss the Melichars wflio are leaving next week to make their home in Atlanta. Accus tomed to see blessings come and go, it is never theless difficult to say goodbye to a couple whose service among us lias been outstanding as well as unselfish for the five years of their residence here. Because of the quality of his administration as superintendent of the Nantahala National Forest, it has been inevitable that the promotion which transfers Mr. Melichar to the Regional Office would come. We are grateful for the contribution that these good citizens have made. The personal appre ciation as well as good wishes of many go with t'hem in their wider field. ?

Health Bulletin Nevir Life When a child is born thie parents at least begin to think about what the world has in store for that tittle one. Will this child be treat ed kindly and gently or will life be a stern taskmaster? What oppor tunities and what responsibilities will be presented to this future citizen ? Can life be preserved and health protected ? Can training and guidance b<e provided so that this young life be directed into the ways in whictt he or she should go? These are thoughts which i should be in the minds of alt those who have the responsibility for bringing a new life into the world. Responsibility for children is not properly limited to the parents. We are supposed to be living in a civilized community Where the law of the jungle is not necessary in the law of the land. In our method of life each individual ihas a defi nite and an important place in the intricate machine Which is our so cial order. The community has a definite responsibility to each per son comprising it. The protection of health and life is now recogniz ed to be just as important as .edu cation and training. It has taken a king time for us to realize that the protection of the individual is just as important as prservation of property rights. In this land of. ours we pondeT th,e effect of the world upon the individual as well as rhe effect of the individual upon the world. In youth life seems endless. Plans and hoipes for thge future seems to be such durable structures. Age may bring disillusionment ? may that disillusionment be only partial, however, and permit sufficient fab ric and substance to remain of the fnfhusiasm and ambition in the young parents of today that they may face the future with courage and a determination to make this world a better place in which to live.
