STI TZ The election in Southern Pines marks the termination of some two decades of faithful and ef ficient service to the town by Dorsey G. Stutz. Mr. Stiitz serv ed continuously as Mayor for twelve years, was previously on the Board of Commissioners for some ten years. This is a record of which the letiring executive may well be proud. It is a record of which the townspeople should boast, for, during those years Southernj Pines has been efficiently i^rov-l erned. economically managed in j comparison with most villages of its size, and has witnessed its'gerous waters. Now we are exarain- greatest growth. When Mr. Stuiz' ing the.se paper defen.ses, and can first entcreil upon his civic tlul- only conclude them woefully inade- ies as a ct)mniissioner, we were:quate.

This is no time for emotional indulgence of mains like a bloody question- mark in the minds of tho.se who love them. How many Czechs, Poles, Belgians, Dutch and French would gladly hear that someone they cherished had been shot? Death is not the supreme terror of war, but cringing, hope less, unending existence in which the lifespark will not perish.

But we must realize that concert ed action which is born of despeiute necessity is not a safeguard but an emergency measure, and if we allow the mutual trust and confidence which now exists between the Unit ed States and the other countries which based their jx>)itical frame- w’ork on the unwritten constitution of England, to die when this war is over, then we shall have wasted the only thing of lasting good whjch can come of our efforts to preserve man’s freedom.
