Ill fore, they think they know what Americans think of them. These things were personal; from a political standpoint there are plenty of others to confuse the issue. There is our continued support of Franco; there is Stet- tinius’ railroading of fascist Ar gentina, over Kussia’s protest and that of many other nations,into the United Nations. And, (recently, Russia may well ask; why do we have a fit when they demand sole interest in the Balkans while ac quiescing in the British claim to the same thing in the Mediterran ean: why do we carp at Russia’s annexation of the Kuriles while ourselves planning to take over half a dozen bases thousands of miles from our shores. It is axiomatic that the pot and SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR SIX MONTHS THREE MONTHS ENTERED AT THE POSTOFFICE AT SOU THERN Pines. N. C., as second class MAIL MATTER. is practicing intensive forest man agement, such as selective cut ting, tree planting and fire protec tion. On several of his own farms he has planted rundown land in youiig trees, and, after the trees have become established, he turns cattle into the plantations to graze down the grass. There seems to be very little damage done to the young trees since the grazing is systematically controlled. Lob lolly Pines, planted five years ago on old rundown fields, are now about eight feet high. The Ration Front THOUGHTS ON RUSSIA The London Conference We must hot let ourselves be discouraged by the failure of the conference of foreign ministers in London. The stakes are too gi gantic to allow of discourage ment.. Our very survival de mands pieace and order in a de cent world, and somehow we must, and will, achieve them. We must take this initial failure in our stride, searching out the causes of it and trying to discover their remedy. And remembering always, as Secretary Byrnes has emphasized, that this conference was purely preparatory and was not intended to be in any way decisive. At first sight it would seem as if Russia were solely to blame. At this writing, the United States and Britain have been accused of lack of preparation, and an am ateurish lack of knowledge, sins of omission only, serious though they admittedly are. But it is the figure of Molotov, sittinig square and stdbborn behind his impen etrable Russian language, that has dominated the conference from its inauspicious start to its dis astrous end. To attempt to, investigate the motives behind Russia’s actions is large order. Yet the attempt shade in politics, international as well as domestic, but we must remember, in assessing the out come of this conference, that all these seemingly secondary things have influenced the actions of the nations involved and that the pot, as well as the kettle, shares the blame. This preparatory conference was a failure; it was deeply dis appointing and 'disturbing. But it was in no way final. If it has shown up more clearly the dif ferences which must be resolved it will have accomplished much good. For before we can have un ity, we must have complete un derstanding.

Mrs. Nicolls has been active in Girl Scout work in Pine hurst, and the couple have made a number of friends in this sec tion. the kettle are never the same g^pires November 30; Ll-Ql, eX' pires December 31; and Rl-Vl, expires January 31.

Black attended the Fifth District PTA conference in Hamlet Saturday. Mrs. Eldon Ad ams of Carthage, state member ship chairman, was formerly chairman of the Fifth District. Around 85 delegates were present. got it is obvious, but never so ob vious as now. We are therefore ready, as perhaps we were not before, to start to find out what the trouble really Is that sepa rates us from Russia and, that being done, to do something to ward removing it. This and That Shoes For Dischargees Discharged servicemen may ob tain shoe ration stamps from any ration board in the United States rather than having to wait until their return home. This change liberalizes the shoe ration regula tions as a special service to vet erans who may not return home immediiately after discharge but who are getting -back into civil ian clothes. The Broad Street Pharmacy, one of the oldest established in stitutions of Southern Pines, cel ebrates its 41st birthday as a phar macy, and its 19th in its present location. The Pilot extends its congratulations to the proprietors, Joe Montesanti, Vance McMillan and Leon T. Tarlton. Fat Shortage Critical Retail meat dealers are paying four red points for each pound of used kitchen fats in the hopes of prompting housewives to save every pound of waste fat. For merly fats were needed to make explosives, but the critical need now is in making soap and other household needs. The opening of the gunning season last week found many sportsmen eagerly seeking traces of the many deer that have been must be made, even though it i reported ranging the territory ad start and end with guess-work, jacent to Fort Bragg. Three Sou- There seem to be two possible reasons for her present actions; greed or fear. Either Russia is greedy, that is, as some main tain, imperialistic, trying, in a swing back to the old policies of the czars, to grab all she can in her desire for power, or else she is afraid and is trying to make herself safe. Those who fear Rus sia and hate her, believe the first. Those who do not hate her and who have faith in her potential greatness, must regretfully come to the second conclusion. them Pines gunners were suc cessful. George Colton and Archie Ferguson each brought down a buck on the Hoyt Shaw place Monday, and A1 Howlett an 8- point buck on the old McNeill place Tuesday. Rally Day The Community Church Sun day School will observe Rally Day Sunday. Point-Free Lower grades beef, utility cuts ^ of veal, lamb, sausage and other products of these meats are point-free until October 27. Ham burger, lamb patties, short ribs, brisket and flank meat are includ ed on the point-free list. Cold last week? It was down to 43 degrees Thursday morning^ the 4th. But during the past twen ty years the first week of October has registered lows ten times— 38 degrees in 1930— and highs ten times. Why Russia Fears Few Americans, we believe, realize to what extent Russia is suspicious of the United States and how much cause we have given her to be so. To mention only a few points; our papers are full of articles and cartoons de picting her as a menace to civil ization; our armed services have been riddled with anti-Russian propaganda; our Dies Committee, as well as individuals in the gov ernment, have gone on periodic red-baiting sprees, our “sedition- ists,” all violently anti-Russian, whose conviction failed miserably to come off, boasted of their con nections with various members of the Congress. Our too infrequent contacts with, Russians have been unfor tunate; at the San Francisco con ference the Russian delegates were followed by crowds who gazed at them as if they had been trained bears; the press ^yas merciless in its criticism. Espec ially were the Russians condemn ed for insisting on a large body guard; yet in view of the hos tility toward them in this coun try, What could have been more natural to a people not unaccus tomed to political assassination and visiting a country where, inci dentally, that crime is not as infre quent as we like to think. That much of the American at titude toward Russia is the Rus sians’ fault makes little differ ence. The attitude is there and it is now too late to argue that it arose because of the tactics of the American communists, or even because of Russian unwillingness to let American journalists into the country. As to that, the Rus sians could with justice point out that when we do sneak a writer in, he comes out with a distorted prejudiced story like the White book. This outpouring of petty criticism of dirty factories, shab by clothes, inferior stores, this harping on dullness, drabness, stupidity has probably had as bad an effect on our relations with Russia as anything that has hap pened. It was the sort of criticism that, to a people just emerging from a terrible war to tfke up again their painful struggle to live, was profoundly wounding. And it swept our country.

Still on Short List Although the war is over, there are a number of products which will continue scarce for some time to come . . . mayonnaise, for in stance. Since edible fats and oils are apt to be among the last items removed from the ration list, the scarcity of certain brands of may onnaise will continue until man ufacturers are able to increase oil production.
