A (Gambling Country As Hitler's hordes place their heavy heels on the necks of millions across the European con tinent, we in thiscountry are gambling with our fate. Our action in staking the liberties and freedom enjoyed in this country, is in keeping with the wave of gambling that has all but en gulfed us according to the following story ap pearing in the Scottish Rite News Bureau: Those who play the ponies may get the big publicity, but the average United States citi zen is more apt to buy a ticket for a church raf fle, play cards or dice with his friends, or drop a few coins in a slot machine than to bet on a horse race, a recent Gallup Poll reveals. Some 54 per cent of the adult Americans gambled in some form during the past year, and of that number, 24 per cent participated in some type of church lottery. The same number played cards or dice for money or used slot ma chines. Only 9 per cent bet on horse races. This means that church lotteries gained al most 20,000,000 participants last year?double the number that bought Irish sweepstake tickets before the war largely discontinued their sale. Significantly, a large number of those ques tioned did not consider church lotteries as gam bling. They took the position that, since the money went to a worthy fcause, no harm was done. Church lotteries have become more and more has proved profitable to charitable and church organizations trying to raise money. Appar ently the only way to get contributions is to appeal to the well-known American gambling instinct. Not all believe this method worthy of relig ious organizations and churches have been se verely criticized for encouraging gambling among its members. There is no reason to be lieve that a worthy cause, if well presented, will not draw as much from outright contributions as it will from, lotteries. Certaintly there will be less loss of prestige. Not A Licenie Farm prices this fall are comparatively high. But high prices do not license anyone to squan der money by gambling on the future. The farmer's outlook is bright for 1942, it has been said. But a bright prospect is not a li cense to discard careful planning and resort to a helter skelter system of farming and do ing business. If there ever was a time for a far mer to apply his brain along with his brawn it is now. Inflation is here to some extent, and land speculation is poking its head up. If Mar tin County farmers want to get out of the clutches of the mortgage holders they will do well to reap the gains that are available now and not gamble on the future. It is possible for the daring to make added money, but it is al so possible for the daring to come out with no shirt on his back. Follow a sane course, and sanity will be yours. The Armittire /* Over By Ruth Taylor. Those of us who remember Armistice Day 1913 recall not merely the wild excitement with which the news was greeted, but even more the deep sense of relief and the keen rapture at the thought of peace. We felt that not only this war but all wars were over. But as the years have come and gone, we have celebrated Armistice Day more and more solemnly, in the belated realization that "Armis tice" truly meant "the temporary cessation of hostilities." We wanted peace and we sought it by com promise and equivocation. We overlooked the fact that there is?there can bo ?no truce in the fight between right and wrong Ours was the task of bearing high the torch of liberty. Of seeing that the light of freedom dispelled the darkness of oppression. We did not ask of those who died from whence they came or by what faith they lived. They were soldiers in a battle for Democracy. Ours was? still is?the task of keeping that Democracy alive so that their sacrifice might not have been in vain. We have not yet fulfilled our task. And today the fight is on anew between the forces of op pression and aggression and the forces of democracy and freedom. We have a faith to keep with those who have gone before. Toler ance, justice, equality, freedom, democracy ? are not just words. They were ideals for which men died?they are ideals by which we must live if the faith is to be kept. The armistice is over and this time there must be no stopping before the final victory is won. We must finish the job. We must fight on to the bitter end?until the forces of evil are completely conquered for all time. Truth of the ('.olden Rule Smithiield Herald. Christianity's golden rule has solved many a problem for men since the Man who pro claimed it walked on earth. The best thinkers see in its observance the only hope for a peace But its application to the problem of high way safety has been under-emphasized and even overlooked by the safety experts and edi torial writers who have looked to law enforce ment and safety campaigns as ways to reduce the heavy toll of road accidents. Now tin' safety council* throughout the na tion are appealing to motorists: "Drive tow ard others as you would have them drive toward you." Think through that appeal Try it the next you drive your car. The truth of the golden rule is not lost when applied to safety on the highways. An auto horn that can't be honked except when a car is in motion has been invented. That ought to help everybody's nerves 111 every neighborhood, but how's a girl going to know the boy friend has called??Indianapolis News. ?

Another Washingtonian who went 0 Williamston to live was Mr. Wil ,iam 7. Morton, II. This time a Wash ngtoii man, looking for a Williams ion girl He found her in Miss So phie llardison, elder daughter of sheriff Hardison. who became his bride, and he lived and practiced aw in Williamston all his life. He sad a younger brother, Jim. who I Hunk conducted a jewelry store there for a time. His older brother, Mr W Bradford Morton, whose first wife was a sister of Dr. Burbank, after the leath of whom he married Miss Til lie laimb. sister of Mr. Wilson G. Lamb, but they lived in Washing ton. xx Mr. Sttrtt-"dndttard later went to Washington and married Miss Fan nic Fulford. elder daughter of Mr. N. S Fulford. Fat Gardner did like wise, marrying Miss Fannie W? And so it seems that Mr Weathers pee and Aunt Sammie opened up the establishment of a matrimonial mart between the two towns, and now the i..?.in is further tied by a ribbon of xmcretc which enables the present lay locomotive to whisk us into riuch more frequent visitations and ?onfabulations than did the buggies and white horses of the days of which 1 write. At Sister Sallies the gulden plot lay between the house and back end if the drug store, and its soil was quite sandy, which became parching lost to Hie vegetables during dry1, limes, and Mr. Uiggs had numerous loads of Koanoke Kiver mud hauled and spread over the sandy soil, then plowed in, the mixture finally mak ing an improvement. I well remem per one first of May we grabbled good sized Irish potatoes for dinner. I loved to, and was allowed to work urthogarden and plant almost! anything 1 wished, Isith Ml Higgs anil Sister Sallie seeming to concur with and encourage me in most all my ideas, or to so handle an objec tion that it seemed no objection, at all, but simply another way round lo what would suit me Miss Sue Groves lived on the fur ther corner of the block, with her garden between the two houses, and I can conceive now, that she "adopt L'd" the young married couple who liad moved next her, about so soon j as they had moved, and they soon realized she was a great blessing to them in more ways than one. She ?ame and went on all occasions when ihe deemed her-presence and assist ance would help, often bringing over platters of various dishes at oppor tune times, one of which I will al ways remember. She cante in just as our three home-folks sat down to breakfast, saying?I know you no doubt have a fine feast this morning, but I want ed this special dish of my own to be in good company, and placed the napkin-covered receptical before us. Sister Sallie smiled and thanked hei\ and talked as she uncovered, and there before us shown Miss Sues ?special dish," waiting to serve our appetites, so soon as we could mas ticate a full-size brick-bat.

Happenings In The Oak City Schools | Two operettas will be given Mon day night, Nov. 17th at 7:00 o'clock.

A play, "The Clever Wife," | will be given. i d one another, until Miss Sue quiet ly remarked: FoIks you know it's the morning of All Fool's Day, and I. wished you to help me honor the tra dition. Then after all had gotten back to normal, she stepped outside and brought in a plate of her fine muf fins, the likes of which she had re-1 peatedly done before. Speaking of muffins, Sister Sal-' lie's cook, Arnecie Bagley, vied with Miss Sue in muffin making. I will never forget those muffins, and many other dishes Arnecie prepared. I often stayed at the drug store while Mr. Biggs came to a meal, es-1 penally if he was at leisure when meal-time arrived, for he might be come busy as a bee the next second, I in which case I would go first, and he after. ?-?I? ___ Some of those times when I would come late and ate alone, I would go in whistling, and continue at it, till Arnecie placed my meal before me; repeatedly admonishing me that the devil would get me shure if I didn't stop whistling at the table. Captain Williams was a very prom inent steamboat captain on one of the river steamers. He had a son who later married a daughter of Mr. J. Dawson Biggs. River boating during those days was a high line of profes sion, and one of the best businesses of the day. The rivers were always with us, and stand ready to "come again" whenever other transportations lag or fail, and the time will come when every stream in the land will be harnessed for production of electri cal energy for the use, convenience, and better living for all the people as a whole, and for flood-control, so blaringly needed at every avalanche of snow-melt or cloud-burst. Added to the rivers, and within a lifetime. have been the ox-cart. buck-board, buggy, boats, railroads. Model T, real autos and now the things that pick up anything from a soldier to an ar mored tank and fly through the air at five miles a minute. Too much, too much within one man's lifetime. But let's live in the present, keep up with the future, and remember the past. More of the last, in the future; so do not miss a paper if what I am re calling interests you in the William ston that w-as. (To be continued.)
