Victory Over Sorrow DELIQION Is not Insurance against trouble, but against defeat Sorrows come to those who believe as well as those who do not; only they take them In a different way. The world is filled with families now that have experienced sorrow. All honor to those who can meet it in human strength. But with Christ we are sure to meet it victoriously. Think what Christ made of His own cross, and ask Him to help you find the afune victory in yours. He will give you peace In pain, and His peace does pass all understanding. ? Sleeted. Cordell Hull's Career Crowned With Honor THE people of this section have a right to feel a special pride in the greatness of their fellow mountaineer from across the mountains in Tennes see ? Cordell Hull. For his greatness is now recog nized by every American, and all the peoples of good will. His long, honorable and hard-working career has l>een crowned with as complete and well-earned honor as seldom comes to any man. Without those years of grilling work and unswerving purpose, witfli a faith and tenacity matched by few statesmen, he would not have been capable of accomplishing for his nation and the world his share in the accord reached at the Moscow conference. The confidence of President Roosevelt imposed in his Secretary of State has been rewarded and justified in the result of the four-power meeting and the unity achieved at home. Greeting the representatives of press after his 26,000-mile flight to Moscow and return, he assured them that there were no secret agreements under taken at that memorable meeting, expressing sat isfaction that delegates agreed upon many things which they apparently did not agree upon at the beginning of the conference. It was Mr. Hull's view that a great step has been taken to re-kindle international cooperation, which must go forward if the countries are not to face utter confusion later. Three Cheers For Seniors *J*HE annual sale of Christmas seals has received a ready response in this county for many years. The National Anti-Tuberculosis association uses this means to secure funds to carry on the national and local work for the prevention and cure of this dread disease. Three-fourths of the proceeds is used in the county under the direction of the county health nurse. Last year an increased quota was entirely sold out long before Christmas. W. C. Newton, principal of the Highlands school is again chairman, so that "the success of the seal sale is again assured under his capable leadership. . % J. F. Pugh, chairman for Franklin, reported to the meeting of the Parent-Teacher association on Monday that the town's quota of 10,000 stamps had been sold. And this is how it happened. Last week he asked the senior class of the high school to take over the responsibility of the sale. In twenty four hours they walked into his office and laid $100 on hi? desk. The 10,000 seals had been sold. Altho Christmas seals "sell themselves," it takes business ability and purposeful enthusiasm to do a job qiv-lcH* and completely as this was done.

For the product of their endeavor, fur, is playing a new role today. Always valued a* a source of income and at an article of -high fashion and warmth, fur it now doing its part in out fitting Uncle Sam't Arctic lighters ? to that they may better withstand the ngors of cold. At an example, parka hoods for the uniforms of our ski troopers (tee illus tration) are among the items whose pro duction depends upon the output of the country's trapiines. Also the fur vests worn by the men who sail our ships through Northern waters. With increased attention being paid to materials for warm clothing, furs are becoming more and more important to a fighting victory bound America. The raw fur crop it here? along the streams, in the woods and (ielda? literally waiting to be taken. Practically no invest ment is required ? only some traps and the effort needed to run the trapline. And at for the effort, if deeired it can be limited to spare time? a feature which fits in beautifully with either schoolboy's or housewife's daily routine. The Editor Enjoys A Vacation For the past three weeks 1 have been taking what can be described as an involuntary va cation. It was neither planned nor foreseen, having overtaken its victim, so to speak. Now, looking back over this period of enforced inactivity, I find that it can be truthfully referred to as an enjoyable In terlude. Without benefit of bus or train travel; Indeed, without leaving town, the discovery has been made that there is a nice spot to recuperate and recreate right here in Franklin. I can look back over a few similar occasions with pleasant recol lections of a quiet room and ministering angels In white uni forms. But no more delightful experience has come my way than to find myself actually having a vacation in Angel hos pital and liking it. I would choose no better haven with the combined advantages of creature comfort within, and outside a view of sunrise over the mountains beyond the lit tle Tennessee. Visits, flowers, magaaines, gay cards from friends was another pleasurable phase of this un expected vacation, which in cluded a good doctor, charming nurses and the best of care from the kitchen and the X-ray room. Here, for instance, was the new experience of seeing what a good, straight backbone one possesses, pictured In start ling clarity on the X-ray nega tive. Getting back into harness, one should be grateful for all the good organs one possesses, and happy to stage a comeback from whatever aliments that may manifest themselves. Especially to the faithful friends in shop and office of the Franklin Press do I feel grateful, who have carried on and published the paper, taking on additional work where the manpower and womanpower shortage already has been keen ly felt. To all good friends, for many kindly and thoughtful acts. I take this opportunity to say. "Thank you, with all my heart." A. B. JOHNSON. fLETTERs] | From SERVICE MEN I October 10, 1943. Dearest: Everyone In camp U In a good frame of mind. We are it'll very comfortable, winter la about over, summer is Just around the corner. Christmas Is only two and a half months away, and I know It will seem strange to us when we cele brate the yuletide In mid -sum mer. Late war news seems very encouraging, and while I write this letter I am enjoying a stick of chewing gum, a treat that patriotic America now de prives itself of. Hope you received my last letter telling yon things that I considered interesting. A few dagn ago, we had the privilege of hearing an Austra lian Army Band that came In to camp. Their music, though it sounded different from any of our bands, was very good. They played for about an hour, and I recognized many pieces as some of our own, except they were played in the manner and style that the Australians use. Their interpretation of mu sic varies a little from ours; not too much, but enough that you can notice it. As a special honor to us, they played our old battle song, Oarry Owen, and our national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner. Have been waiting to tell you ?bout the trtini am here. The locomotive* m somewhat mall sawmills In U. S. Coaches are of wood construction and much lighter than our steel coaches. Instead of having an aisle down the center, space is conserved by dividing each car into eight to ten compartments, each com partment having two doors, permitting quick passage to or from either side of the train. No doubt, like myself, you have seen this type in some of the moving picture shows many times. TO look at them, you could not realize how they can possibly be used to handle to many people who depend on them for daily transportation. From appearance of the inside of the coaches, you would quick ly believe that they were with more of a view to service than comfort. Tike seats a re as hard as benches in a church. When traveling at night, lights within the coaches grow very dim as the train pauses at the station, then becomes bright again as the train starts to pick up. I say, "pause," because of the speed with which a train can pull Into one of the many small RR stations crowded with pas sengers; discharge all occupants, reload, and pull out within a few seconds. Here's something that may interest you? within our organ ization, we now have a short wave radio set with several loud speakers attached throughout the area. At times we can pick up a propaganda program called "Radio Tokio." As a special at traction, Just before the news commentator comes on, th?y play favorite American dance band recordings. We don't care for the propaganda (they call It news) which is broadcast in English, but we do enjoy record ings by Tommy Dorsey, Sammy Kaye, and others. Please remember me to every one you know and write when ever you can. With love, DON BORNKTTE. The following article was re ceived recently by Miss Lassie Kelly from her nephew, Lieut, (jg) Sam K. Greenwood, who is an Army Engineer with this outfit. QUOTED PROM A- TOWWS VTT.T.K, AUSTRALIA PAPER? General MacArthur*s com munique on the Rabaul raid last week reported:? "The ene my has sustained a disastrous defeat from air attack at Ra baul? made possible by our oc cupation late in June of the is land groups north of New Gui nea." One of the air strips on is lands near New Guinea, used in the smashing attack at Ra balu was conquered by Seabees in 13 >/j days? a record for the Pacific. This is disclosed by Sgt. Dave Richardson in "Yank Down Un der," a Journal of the United States Forces. He says that sail or engineers of the Seabees? the U. S. Navy's crack construc tion regiment ? built this strip through the Jungle within 18'/4 days of landing with the first occupation forces. Richardson says: "The night our landing craft coasted an to the beach the Seabees let it be known they were shooting for the record. "All night they drove their bulldozers, tractors, speeder shovels, and other construction equipment off the ships. "For the next few days the bulldozers played a major role. Driven by Gobs, they ripped away bush and vines. Part of the trip was out through an old cocoanut palm plantation. Here the bulldozers saved several days of tedious sawing and chopping the oalrns.
