THE SERVICE OF
.MR. 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

portionate number in the other
countries concerned. Churchill, Lord
Halifax, Lord Beaverbrook, Presi

have all made provocative remarks
about closer ties, post-war coopera
tion of democracies, and unity of
English - speaking peoples, uttering
them Pel naps as trial balloons to
test public sentiment And what is
public sentiment but the result of
people like you demonstrating and
.spreading your ideas? 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.
And such is the fate of millions
at this moment, who, 18
months ago, were proud of late-
Summer ro.ses growing in the
garden, were making happy
preparations for a new baby, or
planning the home which would
shelter the glowing fruition of
two people’s hopes and endeav

We have seen the wall of our
national security crumble around us.
Yet in that summer of breathless
waiting, 1939, we felt safe between
the biggest oceans in the world, and
protected by legislation against the
weakness of money-lending which we
felt urged us into the last war. When
Wlar broke upon Europe we called our
people home, threw an imaginary
line about North and South America
and withdrew our ships from dan*

ourselves, specifically England and
the Empire, they being the only
ones having a free choice of action
at this time.
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. And if our efforts
should grow no greater than they •
are now, w'e will be in a position to
issert a loud voice in the peace set

expected to foot the bill in the long
pull of reconstruction. Therefore ’it
