I BIBLE THOUGHT To the Lord our God belong m ercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord o4ir God. to walk in his lsuws which he set before us. ?Daniel 9:9, 10. ? ? ? 'THE strength of America is derived from the contributions of all races, all creeds and all na tionalities", savs Mrs. Harold V. Milligan, president of the National Council of Women of the United States. "Our common understanding, our democra tic spirit of brotherhood, is our strongest defense against fascism. We dare not permit foreign propa gandists to destroy our unity by dividing us against each other. White or black, Protestant, Catholic, or Jew, native-born or foreign-born, rich or poor ? we have a common destiny and a common goal. In re inforcing our bonds of goodwill, in learning to un derstand each qtfher and respect each other's differ ences, we are implementing our political .ideology and demonstrating to all the world that democracy works". ''Back The Attack" over the United States groups of citizens are representing their communities as commit tees to raise the quota which has been asked for the 3rd War Loan. The drive will begin September 9. Every citizen is expected to help them. As the greatest attack in history is now in mo tion on two continents, with the invasion of Europe by our own men imminent, it is our job at home to give them what they need for victory. Parents who look back upon happier days of peace when they were sending their sons off to college and the sacri fices they made to raise the sum necessary for tu tition and equipment, cannot fail as they gladly do without this year to buy the extra $100 bond to support the son who now faces deadly peril in the grim school of war. Others have in mind the sons of their relatives and friends whom they long to help. There can be no slackers on the home front at this critical time in our history. We are yet the most favored of human beings in the world. We have everything at stake, too. But the boys who are fighting are the ones who will pay. We are asked in this bond drive to buy more bonds as an investment ? the safest on earth. To back them is our share in the struggle. Our sons, brothers, husbands, relatives and our friends on many a battle field are asking you to back them all the way. They are making the attack, we must back it. Schools In Wartime T^HE children of Macon county will begin another * school term next Monday. The. shortage of teachers which is felt all over the country on ac count of the war, while being somewhat of a prob lem here as elsewhere, should not be so acute as to affect the normal standards of school work. As in other fields, all those entrusted with sustaining those standards should accept the added obligation of working harder and longer hours. Revelations-of illiteracy which have come here as elsewhere when men have been sent home unfit for military service because the schools and their parents have failed them, should be taken very much to heart by those of the teaching profession. The *" children who are in school today must face a diffi cult world tomorrow. The failures of our schools are easier to see than to correct. The difficulties arising from teacher shortage should be a challenge to the school system to meet the need with a higher consecration to the call of the humblest and poorest child. This is a critical battle to fight on the home front. A hearf to care for the child, a will to give the best in you to as many children as possible i? the war job of teachers, principals and /uiperin undents. 90MPS OV F* AmmCA la tan Antonio, Trail, ataada a minion fort il ?
