The Passing Years BY CHARLES MACAULEY A MIGHTY NICE VIEW Paul Fitanides. as most people know, runs the shoe repair shop across from THE PILOT. He came to this country from CIreece when he was fifteen and right away ran into a disappoint ment. He couldn't become a cit izen until he was twenty-one. When he was eighteen, though, he joined the National Guard; he has a picture of his company on the wall of his shop. He had everything set so that as soon as he was twenty-one. he became a citizen. Boy. was he happyl He's happy still, and if you ask him, he will tell you about it. Happy to be a citizen of this wonderful country. Not that he's rich or that anybody has done anything particular for him. He probably means that it’s free and friendly, a good place to live. But all he says is, boy, this is fine, this country, this U. S. A. Next to him li\-e the Monto- santis, probably the best known family in Southern Pines, frield- ]y. kindly, public spirited. The children are .‘\mericans. of course, and the father and mo ther are as good Americans as the children. Then over at the Anglow Tweed place is a tailor. He is a Czeck. talks with an accent, but what he says is good Amer- cian. something to make you proud of your country. It would be a good thing if our little group of squawkers and wailers of fine old native stock could hear these other Ameri cans talk. Maybe then, they would be like the mountain man in the western part of the State who was congratulated on the view from his cabin. “Well, sir.” he said, ‘‘I used to think nothing about this view. But then strangers from outside come in and begun to take on about it. And now. by shot, I de clare I can admi.e this view as good as they can.” Last Week of May 1941 Court orders dissolution of South- 'rn Pmes Country Club.

Powell, 1912 DEMOCRATS SCARCE AT STATE CONVENTION Usually the large Raleigh Me morial Auditorium is jammed when delegates of the Democrat ic Party from North Carolina's 100 counties gather at the Capitol City for annual convention. Last Friday, only scattered delegates were present, and many of them were there further to sharpen their political axes. Gas rationing was chiefly to blame, probably; but also there is not too great an interest in the elections this year, either State wide or locally. In very few counties are real contests devel oping. Certainly, there appears to be no great State-wide con test.. Richard Fountain is trying his best to make a come-back in politics by seeking Senator Jo- siah \V. Baily’s seat in the U. S. Senate, But even Fountain's most ar dent supporters will probably admit now, on the eve of elec tion, that the liocky Mount man has little chance of unseating the conservative Senator from Ral eigh. few years ago. when Sen ator PJailey was fighting Roose velt and the New Deal, the chances for Fountain might have been better. Now, however, Bail ey is ardently supporting the foreign, and most of the domes tic policies, of the administration and is riding higher in public opinion than at any time in re cent years. In this State, where one party dominates, it has been compara tively easy to play dov/n the dis concerting issue of “politics” dur- "The City Market is the place to get Queen City Butter—the Queen of Table Butters.

Some )f the stores made flag display and Postmastei' L('avitt and Eugcme L( .;vitt swung the town flag across Pennsylvania avenue at Broad street. In the afternoon the stores were generally closed. 1902 Jimtown has sutfei'ed another fire and this time .*\lex pAans residence and Campbi'll Bros.’ store went up in smoke. It is claimed that the ori gin of the fire was incendiary. The same day Evans was sentineed to the penitentiary for selling moon shine. NIAGARA Mrs. A. C. W'ood and children have gone to McKennory, Va., to join Mr. Wood. J. V. Snipes spent the week-end in Durham, returning by way of Creedmore and Hendc-rsun. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Garvin of Wilmington spent Sunday at the lome of Mr. and Mrs. Cameron. Mr. and Mrs. M. N. Sugg are now )ccupying the Colby Cottage. B. C. Morgan and J. D. Wilson left last w^eek for New River where they have employment. ing war. But it is excellent that politics have not been shunted iside entirely. There were a good many at Raleigh last Friday, and that was good. The day to be feared and to be avoided is that convention day when no “dem ocrats in good standing” appear to attack their opponents and ing the praises of their favor ites. Public Speaking LANGUAGE OF FASCISM To the Editor: My own objection to the editorial in Westbrook Pegler was that one oart of it could be interpreted as a reflection on his honesty. It was not ■;o intended, but the wording might ^vell have been clearer. For the rest of it, 1 think that while his continuous attack on labor rack eteering was incidentally valuable in :i field where neither labor nor the government have ever showed much interest. Pegler's real object has been to destroy faith in the labor move ment as a whole, whether good or bad. This unreasoning prepossession has brought him into line with the most reactionary group in this coun try. 1 am therefore not surpri.sed that the letter which defended Pegler speaks also of the pampering of the Jew and the Negro. That is the lan guage of fascism and gives a hint of how far those who use it have been carried from the principles of the constitution. If those persons wish to see the nation united in this crisis, let them unite wtih the rest ABERDEEN Home and Garden Club The Aberdeen Home and Garden Club held its regular meeting Tues day afternoon at tlin home of Mrs. Stewart Weaver with Mrs. J.

Southern Pines. U Mavy School at G.£. Just one evidence of the cooperation between the armed services and our vast industrial army—a schoo} for submarine eJectricians conducted at one General Electric factory. 1. Electricity is vital to the run ning of every submarine. It does an amazing variety of important jobs, from turning the propeller to cooking the coffee. 2. For that reason, there must be well-trained electricians on every underwater craft. At this school. Navy electricians attend classes taught by G-E engineers 3 and go out into the shops where they watch workmen construct the same kind of elec tric equipment that will some day be put in their charge. 4. This is but one proof of the thorough training which the U.S. Navy gives its men, «o that the vital equipment cf war will always be ready for action.
