C., AS SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER. __ TRUE AMERICANS Captain TARO SUZUKI, at, ;he head of his company, recently | knocked out three enemjf ma" chine guns and rescued twenty-1 two paratroopers who had been] surrounded and cut off. But. will the Captain. decor ated by the Emperor? No. Why not? Because he is a captain in the United States Army, the mach ine guns he overran were Ger man. the paratroopers he reliev ed were Americans who had landed behind the enemy lines in Sicily. Not only is captain SUZUKI a Japanese from Hawaii but the men of his company are also. These are the people who re mained stanch and loyal during Pearl Harbor, who remained pa tient under the suspicions that followed, who fought during bit ter months to be allowed to bear arms in defense of their coun try. They finally won that bat tle and we can be sure they will win every other battle they en-, gage in. These are the people who our crackpots, our America Firstors, our little would-be fas cists have said should be depriv ed of their citizenship, should be imprisoned, should be driven from the country. The little fuehrers who want to do this, always want to do it in the name of "Americanism". Their small, malignant, sickly, poisoned minds can not and will not accept the two great beliefs which true Americans hold and which have made us the friend and the hope of the world: First: that Americanism means giving every man a square deal no matter where he comes from. Second: that the way to make a man an American is to treat him like one. THE SPOILED AND THE SPOILERS The women of America are not measuring up to the job. For every two women hired in de fense industry one quits. Of the 300,000 WACS needed by the Army, only 65,000 have been ob tained. Waves, too, are far un der strength. To the women of Great Britain and Russia, giving their utmost in this world crisis, American women must seem sel fish and trivial. And so they must seem to the women of Ger many and Japan. They are not so at heart. One hundred years could not change them so far from the type who pioneered this country. But they are spoiled. And it is the Amer ican men who have spoiled them. Too great a share of the family money for themselves. Too great a share to spend on their clothes their hair, their faces. Too much demand that they stay young and pretty rather than become old and wise. Too much uncrit ical adoration. Too little demand that they assume their share of life's responsibilities. As a nation we have stopped treating our women as grown up people. We regard them as charming irresponsible children. Naturally too many turn out to be no more than that. In the end they are, some of them, even less than that. An irresponsible child may be charming when young. But the older she gets the less her charm appeals. She ends as a silly, self-centered and tire some old woman. The girl who can come through the American man's spoiling is a wonder. Many thousands do come through and they, the best type of American girl, are hard to beat. At her best, the Amer ican girl is second to no woman in the world. Friendlv, frank, honest, charming, self-reliant. But too many succumb to the silly conditions of their lives. Until American men learn to treat women, not as baby dolls, ©CAINS €f SANE) i A lady of our acquaintance rarely eats spaghetti but not long ago she made a meal of it. Drank a lot of ice water, too. That night she woke up with stom ach cramps. Her husband, a good amateur diagnostician, carried her to the Moore County Hospital. Turned out to be one of the finest babies born around here in a long time. Last week, Paul Barnum says, a girl saw a friend of hers, a colonel's wife, driving by. She whistled to the colonel's wife to stop. But the colonel's wife kept on. The she hollered. The colonel's wife stopped. As the lady climbed in she said, "Why didn't you stop when I whia tled. Didn't you hear me?" "Child", the colonel's wife said, "Don't ever expect to stop a woman like me by whistling at her in a town that's full of soldiers. It used to be a problem for gentle men patrons of Dr. Bretsch and Cliff Johnson's Broad Street Pharmacy whether when imbibing their daily shot of coke at the fountain they should look at— 1. The girls on the the street or— 2. The girls in the booths. Now they will be doing all right by themselves if they just look at FOR SERVICE MEN The following is a list of places where accommodations for ser vice men are available: BROWNSON MEMORIAL CHURCH, Presbyterian Fifty cots and bedding; some furniture.

[INSIGNIA SELLING TIME IS EXTENDED Information has been received from War Department by Head quarters Fourth Service Command that the sale of Army insignia by civilian firms will be permitted for an additional period ending Janu ary 1, 1944. This extends the dead line previously set for October 18, 1943. All holders of War Department certificates (095) will be authorized to sell metal, cloth and plastic in signia for the extended period of time. Firms holding War Depart ment certificates are being notified by individual letters. Firms not hold ing this War Department certificate will be permitted to sell only cloth insignia, such as chevrons and shoul der patches for this additional per iod of time. but as companions in the world's latest and greatest experiment in freedom we will not have an American womanhood serious and responsible enough to do justice to themselves either in peace or in war. THE PILOT. Southern Pines. North Carolina the other side of the counter— The way the patrons of Red Over ton's Sandhills Coca Cola Dispen sary and Mr. Byrd's Southern Pines Pharmacy have been doing for some time. We had a big black friendly dog named Bill. Too friendly maybe. He used to visit around the neigh bors. Never did any harm and most of them seemed to like him. In fact some of them made so much of him that we couldn't stop him visiting. So lately we had him shut up in iiis run. There he was found dead. Doctor j Neal looked him over. Poisoned. There was another dog in with him. She was unhurt. Maybe it was an accident Let's hope so. To poison a dog takes a combina tion of sneakiness and cruelty that belongs nowhere in this country. Or any country, that we can think of. Except Japan. Well, so long. Bill. We hope you weren't deliberately poisoned— More on your account even than on our own. You had confidence in us human beings. Hate to think that just at the end, suffering all alone there, knowing your time had come— Hate to think that your last thought was that one of us had be trayed you.
