Will Cooperate To
Get Out The Vote
Is your neighbor all set to vote
in'November? Is he properly reg
istered? Does he know what he
needs to do so he can join you in
voting November 4?
Or is your neighbor one of the
40,000,000 adult citizens who will
let you perform his civic duty?
Only about half the citizens
usually vote in a national election,
it is said, which means that a ma
jority of those voting (26 per cent)
can determine who is going to fix
our taxes, pass our laws and run
cur government.
Every good citizen naturally
does his own duty and votes be
cause he wants a voice in his
school board, his town council, his
legislature, his Congress, his
White House.
And if every good citizen sees
to it that his neighbor is also a
gcod citizen, is qualified to vote
and does vote, then our democra
cy really will be working.
Both political parties have ex
pressed the belief that the next
president will be elected by the,
millions who have not voted in
past' elections. In 1896, 79 per cent
of those eligible voted; however,
the sorry fact is that this figure
has declined to an all-time low
44 per cent in 1950.
Convinced that citizens will
vote if they can get to the polls
to do so, new car dealers through
out the country ere being urged
by their National Association
president, J. Saxton Lloyd, to of
fer free transportation to all who
need it November 4.
Keynote of this ncn-nartisan
community service is “Vote as
you please—but vote!” New car
dealers will display posters and
window strips urging* all who
want transportation to ask for it
-and folders titled '“Why you
should vote” are being distribu
ted.
Beffistraticp books will be open
October 11, 18 and 25.
Annual Fund Drive
For Scouting Will
Be Held October 7
Spark-plugged by an Early Bird
breakfast prior to a whole day of
fund-raising, the Occoneechee
Council cf the Boy Scouts of
America will kick-off a $93,000
annual budget drive on October
when 2,000 volunteers hit the
campaign trail.
These volunteers, assisted by
civic leaders, the press and radio
will join in an effort to provide
binds for continuing Scouting
during the coming year. “We have
been gratified,” said S. P. Gaskin
council executive, “by the cooper-
tion which we have received thus
far in the planning phases of the
campaign.”
Serving as chairman of the cam
paign to raise -the largest budget
in the council’s history is Harold
Makepeace of Sanford, past pres-
dent of the Occoneechee Council.
Organization for the drive, term
ed “Operation All-Out” by Mr.
Makepeace, extends throughout
the 12 counties which make up the
council.
Tied in with the regular Com
munity Chest campaign in many
towns, the finance drive will take/
place simultaneously with simi
lar Scout fund-raising activities
‘■brouehout much of the state
The budget-raising effort for the
coming year will be limited to
one day.
By the end of that day,” said
Makepeace, “when the fund-rais
ers come together fcr their Vic
tory meetings throughout the
council, we hope to be able to
state that the campaign has been
genuinely victorious. At that
time, we" should be able to tell
how the Scouting program stands
in this area for the coming year.”
Occoneechee Council serves
over 7,000 boys in its 12-county
area, and membership during the
past year has shown a large in
crease. Funds which are collected
on October 7 will pay for the
operation of the 12-months-a-year
Scouting program for the boys,
leadership training for the Scout-
ers, and maintenance and opera
tion of facilities at 200-acre Camp
Durant and the many activities for
Scouts and Explorers such as
camporees, camping trips and
conferences.

Glory Is Brittle
Lesson for September 28, 1952
Dr. Foreman
^ALL the roll of the dead nations,
'^name any kingdom or enipire you
know of, that once knew glory and
now is but dust. You will observe,
if you know their history, that their
ruin began just aft
er a period of spe
cial brilliance. It is
as if the old proverb
were reversed, and
the brightest hour
came just before
the dark. Why is
this? One reason is
that the glamor and
the glory were not
what they seemed
to be. Beneath the
glittering surface of things, the
foundations were rotting away.
Glory, personal or national, is a
brittle thing.
* » ♦
Bang! Want the Empire
do not have to poke about
in large volumes of history to
find this out. FV)r a small sum you
can buy a book that tells thp story
of the most famous nation of all
time,—namely, the Bible, giving the
history of the nation called Israel.
Israel was a remarkably
‘Short-lived nation. Three kings’
reigns spanned its whole his
tory from beginning to end. Aft
er, that. Bang! it split into two
pieces. Indeed into more than
two. For not only did it divide
into the two kingdoms of the
north and of the south, hut it
disintegrated everywhere.
All the conquests of David were
undone. The Empire of Israel (for
empire it was) simply went to pieces
at every seam. What had been, for
a time, the greatest and only em
pire between the Nile and the Eu
phrates, fell to pieces fearfully fast.
And all that crash occurred immedi
ately after the death of Solomon,
that king whdse reign is still re
membered for its wealth, glamor
and magnificance. How could such
things be?
* * •
Glamor for the Few
pART OF' the answer is that the
glory didn’t spread around very
far. There was no middle class, and
the gap between Solomon and his
crowd at the top, and the peasants
on the bottom, was enormous.
Solomon’s only known son, Reho-
boam, told a mass-meeting of citi
zens shortly after Solomon’s death,
“My father beat you with whips.”
Rehoboam was not trying to black
en his father’s memory; he was
stating a simple fact. The common
man had indeed taken a beating
under Solomon.
To bu|ld the king’s great pub
lic works cost money, and need
ed (in those non-mechanical -
days) armies of laborers. There
was the immensely costly Tem
ple, and then there was the
royal palace, larger than the
Temple, requiring nearly twice
as long to build and no doubt
correspondingly expensive;
there were other temples, pub
lic buildings, pools, water
works, fortifications, royal sta
bles at Negiddo and what not.
King Solomon found it neces
sary to work thousands of his
people, without pay, one month
out of every three.
The fact that about nine tenths
of the people were ripe for rebel
lion within months after Solomon’s
death, shows that, to say the least,
they were not contented and happy.
Nations often do die, or blow up,
just after periods of “prosperity,”
but it will generally be found that
the prosperity was quite badly dis
tributed. There is little true glory
in a nation where a few grow rich
upon the poverty of the many.
Cadet W. M. Wilson At
Oak Ridge Institute
Cadet William Martin Wilson,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Wil
son of 175 West Connecticut ave.
nue. Southern Pines was among
the young men who participated
in the inauguration of the 101st
academic year at Oak Ridge Mili
tary institute last week.
A capacity enrollment this year
consists of cadets from eight
states and Cuba, Venezuela, Re
public of Panama, Canal Zone,
and the District of Columbia.
These men will receive a full
schedule of academic work in the
junior college, business college,
or preparatory division, and at the
same time receive training in the
Reserve Officers Training Corps.
During the past 20 years for
every change of one billion dol
lars in natural income payments,
there has been a corresponding
change of four million dollars in
cash receipts from the sale of
North Carolina farm products.

ARE YOU STARVING YOUR SOUL?
Je.sus of Nazareth taught his followers
to pray: Give us this day our daily bread.
But he also reminded the world that:
JMan shall not live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceedetb out of the
mouth of God.
It is possible, then, for the body to be
well-fed while the soul is starving to
death!
That is why churches are as essential
to the well-being of a community as
farms and factories.
And the people who understand this
Christian truth will be as conscientious
about worshipping in Church as they are
about their ploughing or their employ
ment.

High Income Bracket
B ut THAT is not the whole story.
Even if every one in the country
were equally wealthy, it might not
be good. Strange as it seems, the
Bible is full of warnings, not so
often against poverty as against
wealth.
The truth about Israel Is not
that Solomon and his friends
prospered while the rest of the
nation decayed; the fact Is,
Solomon and his set were decay
ing too, not In spite of their
wealth but because of it.
The king’s annual income has
been computed at some nineteen
million doUars of our money. We
hear that he built temples to other
gods besides the true God, all be
cause of his wives’ influence. If he
had been a poor man, he could not
have married those expensive im
ported princesses. A man with ex
cess income will often mis-spend It,
ninety-nine times out of a hundred;
and Solomon was not the hundredth
man.
Today in America every dollar
spent on drink, on gambling, is a
surplus doUar, an uneasy dollar. Not
that you can in any way wipe out
sin by eliminating excessive wealth;
but you might remove a lot of
temptations.
