ANNOUNCEMENT
In taking over The Pilot no
changes are contemplated. We
will try to keep it as good a pa
per as Nelson Hyde has made it.
We will try to make a little mon
ey for all concerned. Where there
seems to be an occasion to use
our influence for the public good
we will try to do it. And we
will treat everybody alike.

THE FIGHT FOR
FREEDOM IS ON
The Secretary of War says the |
Nazis offer us “abject surrend
er or uncompromising forceful
resistance." Is this a time to talk
about “aid to Britain"? Are we
aiding f>ritain, or is Britain aid
ing us? How long are we con
tent to live as the pensioners of i
other men's courage? j
The war is not worth support-;
ing unless it is a war for Amer-,
ica, for the American idea and,
thus for the human race. If it is;
such a war, are we willing to hire
other men to win it for us?
The Secretarv- of the Navy
says, “The peril which threatens
the British fleet is a danger to
you, a danger greater than you
can imagine.” If it is a danger to
us, are we so meek as to ward
that danger off by giving the
tools to other men?
Wendell Willkie says, "We
want those cargoes protected.
We want it at once, and with less
talk and more action.” If we
want the cargoes protected, that
means war. Are we such weak
lings that we sidle into war with
out admitting the dreadful
choice we are making?
The fight for freedom is on!
The American people are in it.
A 'huge majority prefers war to
a Hitler victory. This has been
proved in repeated polls. And
now our leaders tell us that a Hit
ler victory looms unless we act.
We hoped to defeat Hitler
without the use of our armed
forces. Like so many other
plausible hopes, this one has been
murdered by our enemies. The
time for half measures is gone.
We can win if we fight. We
shall lose if we wait, expecting
others to fight for us.
The fight for freedom is on!
It is our fight. Nothing can stop
America when America is on the
march!

Edgar E*’ing wa.« pacing up and
down in front of Mack’s Five and

OUR LAND IS YOURS,
UNCLE SAM
Meetings are being held
throughout the county for the
purpose of obtaining from own
ers of farm lands permission for
the use of their property by the
Army of the United States dur
ing the greatest maneuvers in
the country’s history, to be held
at our very doorsteps during Oc
tober and Novemter of this
year.
Our neighboring farmers need
not be told the importance of
signing up these land-use per
mits. America is on the thresh-
hold of participation in a war
which will call for the defense
of its life and liberty. We can do
no less than allow the Army to
use our land for any maneuvers
which may aid its training, es
pecially during a season of the
year when few crops will be on
it, and with the government’s as
surance that payment will be
made for any actual damage
done.

Has the radio hurt newspapers ?
Here's an answer, from the circu
lation standpoint, from none other
than the United States Census Bu
reau;
‘ Newspaper circulation in the U. S.
it: now over 62.000,000—an oll-time
height. The average family now
spend nearly $10 a year for newspap
ers. Daily newspapers have increased
their average circulation three-fold in
40 yeai’s—from 7,000 per paper to 21,-
000.”

of companions in that desire of yours

late were converted into bars last

American apetite.
