Editor, The Pilot;
Post war planning is being given-
consideration on every hand and
this is goQd, but in Southern Pities
we^have a situation which should b‘e
remedied before, the end of the war,
if possible. I speak of the bus sta
tion. Today, when people—service
men, their families, and others—in
such large numbers are traveling in
and out of our town by bus, we cer
tainly need better accomodations •
for fthem than the small station
now in use affords. The present
station is not a very good advertise
ment for our progressive town and
is by no means in keeping with the
business houses, hotels, etc., here.
I’d like to know what others are
thinking along this line and am will
ing to pay a cash prize of $5.00 to
the person submitting the best letter
to The Pilot between now and March
17th on the subject, “Why I Think a
New Bus Station Is Needed in Sou
thern Pines.’’ Please get your read
ers to start the letters rolling.
Yours very truly,
A. MONTESANTI
Southern Pines, N. C.

We hope that you, dear read
ers, after digesting the above
editorial, agree with the opin
ions contained therein.
You thought it was a Chinese
puzzle? Oh, no indeed! It is a
part of an editorial which appear
ed in the June 25, 1943 issue of
The Pilot. The article was writ
ten for the Foreign Section, Writ
ers’ War Board, by James Boyd,
and the above cut shows how it
looked printed in Arabic in a
Cairo paper.
In case you’d like to compare
the Pilot’s editorial with the
Cairo article, we reprint two
paragraphs:
“The belief that leads to de-
naocracy is this: that every man
has something sacred about
him. This sacredness is held to
be inherent and perpetual: no
ruler, no government is justi
fied in violating it. It is the first
principle of man’s life and noth
ing takes precedence over it.
“This sacredness of the indivi
dual is safeguarded by a series
of rights which have been slow
ly developed during the history
of democracy. Not all democrats
agree what all those rights are.
But all agree that they exist.
And all admit that they include
at least the following: the rights
to speak and to write and to wor
ship and to assemble as a man
pleases; the right to enjoy his
property; the rights not to have
There are many junior-age
boys in Southern Pines who have
much spare time on their hands.
The Cub Scout program would
provide interests suited to, the
needs of these eager, enthusias
tic lads, and the companionship
of a sympathetic, understanding
leader would help to compensate
for the changes brought about
by war.
WILL YOU HELP?
Forest Farmers and Land-
owners! Just as surely as you
cut pulpwood from your wood
land last year you helped launch
the U. S. S. Missouri last month,
battleship that is called the
“world’s mightiest.”
Yes sir, it took fifteen tons of
blueprint paper, made of pulp-
wood, to plan that powerful
ship. There are more ships to
launch, and hundreds of other
war uses for pulpwood. Cut your
pulpwood and send it to war.
If you want advice on the best
way to cut and market your trees
on a conservative basis, consult
your local Pulpwood Committee
or County Agent.

THANKS. NEIGHBOR
Our Lee County neighbor,
The Sanford Herald, of Febru
ary 21 carried the following ed
itorial which Moore County cit
izens will read with interest and
appreciation:
Moore county last Wednesday
his house entered without a war- went way over its overall quota in
rant, not to be arrested without the 4th War Loan drive, and at the
charges, not to be punished same time became the first county
in Region 7 to reach its quota in
E bonds. With an E quota of $360,
000, Moore county sold $419,000. Its
over all sales last Wednesday were
over $800,000.
Lee is in the same region as Moore,
and although Moore beat us out in
the E campaign, we extend sincere
congratulations to Chairman E. C.
Stevens and his county.
While we are sure the final fig
ures will show Lee ahead of Moore
in total sales, it is apparent we will
not reach Moore on the E volume.
However, if Moore could sell its
E quota, Lee can.
Let’s get those few remaining
necessary thousand dollars in E
bonds so we can join Moore in the
list of counties that have success
fully completed their 4th War Loan
job.

“The Piney Woods Inn is now
open. Visitors always welcome. An
orchestra during the season. Also
NOT ASHAMED
Should I be ashamed of the tears in
my eyes.
At the sound of the drum and the
marching of feet—
For the gleeful shouts of a happy
throng?
Our children were marching and
taking our street.
After the band came the flags un
furled,
The boys who held them so brave to
the world.'
Then neat little girls with their
happy shouts.
And clean little boys with their
shirt tails out.
Then they grew bigger, and teachers
wise
Watched monkey shines with warn
ing eyes.
Seniors, embarrassed, yet proudly
they raised
Their banners high as forward they
gazed.
Dollars and dimes they all saved
and bought
Bonds for the future this war shall
iiave wrought.
Doctors and bankers and merchants
and me
Rushed to our door steps and win-
■dows to see what all this com
motion could possibly be.
“This is America,” someone said.
As the Bond parade Was hid by the
hedge,
“And they can’t take it from us”,
I looked to see a kind young old
lady speaking to me.
A kind young old lady speaking to
me.
And Southern Pines also I’ll have
you all know
That’s what they’re buying these
War Bonds for.
No, I’m not ashamed of my tear-
dimmed eyes
As I look up into the clouded skies.
God, how can I stop this horrible
strife
That our children may stay in this
free, happy life.
Then a voice from the endless dis
tance fled,
“Faith without works my son is
dead, buy Bonds, buy Bonds,
more Bonds!” it said.

CUB SCOUT
TROOP NEEDED
“I wish you^d write something
about the need of a Cub Scout
-organization,” said the mother
of a Cub-age boy the other day.
This thoughtful mother realizes
that her young son has reached
the age when children like to
engage in group activities and
that he needs the -wholesome
training and opportunity for de
velopment along constructive
lines that Scouting affords.
Modern war has a way of
touching everyone, and even
the junior boy does not escape.
His home life is changed. His big
brothers are in the armed forces,
or in some instances, his father;
his mother is patriotically en
deavoring to give as much time
as possible to the various volun
teer services on the home front
if not actually engaged in de
fense work. So the young son is
left more or less to his own de
vices after school hours.
