For the first time, in our lives we are having to con-1 sider what this precious heritage of ours, handed down to us from free-1 dom-loving ancestry, means in terms of our everyday life. We find it has many means famili- lar to all of us: —small things, such as the right to play football in a vacant lot sim. ply as a pastime. —large things, such as the right of the individual worker to belong or not belong to a trade union. —personal things, such as tiie right of citizens to join organizations of any kind they wish—so long as they are not aimed at destroy ing our precious Constitution. —vital things, such as the right to free speech and a free press. And beyond theise—the right to home life within the State; the right to spiritual belief and the freedom to exercise it in church, chapel, syna gogue or mosque. All of these freedoms rest on the tripod of those great freedoms—one If'g of which is representative democ racy; another civil and religious lib erties; and the third, free business en. tcrprises. All three must be sustained if our personal freedoms listed above are to be preserved and the sound of boys playing football continue to be heard throughout the land in fu ture autumns. Roberson county leads in land planted to crops with 200,960 acie.s in cultivation, the State Department of Agriculture reports in the 1940 farm census. THE MAN WHO C.VME BACK Editor, The Pilot: Kickers will kick. A few weeks ago a tall wiry individual with a peripatetic Adam’s apple and a reek ing breath stopped me on the street with the inquiry, "Be you a Yankee?” "Yes,” I admitted, "I suppose I am. I was a Yankee t)orn and a Yankee bred, but when I die I’ll be a Tar-heel dead. Why?" "Well, he replied, "1 am a Yankee too, and I got sutbin I wanter git off my chist; this ain’t a bad little place, take it most ways, but they’s some things about it I don't like. In thuh furst place.
