They were, the story continued, more interested at that moment in prayers than they were in flee ing from the enemy. When danger lurks, people, rich or poor re gardless of color or creed, show by their actions that they are not so different after all; that in war and all the muddle the world now finds it self in something good will come. The story from Guadalcanal continued, “The Chaplain recited the service while artillery boomed its talk of death and suffering, and dive bombers screamed overhead as they leave the field with yellow bombs nestling in their bel lies as they go to destroy and kill that we may live. I believe I can sav, without offending, that these words take on a new meaning, that words of comfort are so much more than mere words these days.” In conclusion the commander said that he was sure, “we will all come home* bet ter Chris tians, more appreciative of home and family, of the little things and the comfort that knowing and believing in God can give. It makes one think there may be some good in war after all. I think that when and if we get back, we will be able to carry the lesson learned back to the others. If we do. I will consider the experiences here worth while.” Must And Must l\ot By Rulh Taylor. We are all familiar with the phrase “the have and the have-not nations.” It was one of those semi-truths that are the best stock in trade of the pseudo statesman. That it was an effective weapon has not been proven. Before the bombs fell at Pearl Harbor, sympathy for the ' have underdogs cua much to bdcioutf im remr TKsut and to leave us woefully unprepared for the at tack oi those whom we had pitied. Now there is another theory abroad in the land. It is that of the “musts and the must riots.” Instead of being a divisive theory, however, this is a closely coordinated and correlated ex pression of thought which may be translated We must put first things first. We must de vote a!! our energies to the task of winning the war, that we may return to the ordered ways of peace. We must not be sidetracked from this goal by personal ambition, group interests or in dividual bias. We must save in all things—in money, time, material resources, and health—that we may be fit to assume our full obligation as citizens. We must not squander anything but our spirit of friendliness and cooperation with our fellow men. We must keep still. Some day try listening to the conversations around yov. ■ v». trains on busses, in restaurants and you won’t have to he told why. We talk too much. We must not be a carrier for the enemy.

We must be alert and ready minded to ad * just our way of life, our manner of thinking to the needs of the moment, to make do or to put | to fullest use our dormant powers of resource fulness. We must not be set in our ways, deter I mined to stay out of the gas unless we can make i the rules. We must put democracy into practice. We must shun any attempt to divide our people. This does not mean agreeing on all points, but it does mean disagreeing as individuals rather than as a group. We must not be led astray into the fallacies of segregation by religion, nation ality or race, that have made a funeral pyre-of Europe again and again throughout the cen turies. We must think in broad terms. We must sec our nation as part of the family of nations, our responsibility as one and the same with the re sponsibilities of men and women of good will the world over. We must realize That -we' ate our brother’s keeper. We must not shirk our task by isolationism, either individual or na tional. Transportation History Is Being Made ...

(International) Farmers To Vote On Tobacco Quotas Aii farmers engaged in the pro 1943 are eligible to vote ITT tile to bacco marketing quota referendum of Saturday. July 24. say War Food Administration officials. It is explained that in the case of a husband and wife engaged in the production of flue-cured tobacco as joint owners of a farm each is eligi ble to vote. A person who is considered as a wage hand on a farm but who re ceives part or all of the proceeds from a fixed acreage and thus shares in the proceeds of the 1943 crop of flue-cured tobacco produced on the farm will be considered as a share cropper and shall be eligible to vote. I A person acting as administrator, j executor, or guardian, or in some J similar fiduciary capacity, is eligi- I ble to vote for each estate or per- i son for whom he acts in such capa- ! city, if such estate or person is en- j gaged in the production of the 1943 flue-cured tobacco crop. A minor is eligible to vote only if lie is the owner-operator of a farm on which flue-cured tobacco was produced in 1943 or if as a party to a bona-fide lease or operating agree ment. he has an independent status as operator, share-tenant or share cropper and as such is entitled to share in the proceeds of the 1943 flue-cured tobacco crop in a specified proportion. All persons who share in the pro ceeds of the' 1943 tobacco crop, re gardless of how busy they may be on Saturday, July 24. are urged to exercise their responsibility and vote in the referendum, which will mean so much to the future of North Car- j olina tobacco producers and the con- ! tinned progress of the state.

Myron Maxwell, in charge extension entomology at State Co.' <ege. ile reports that these insects de- ; velop while the otans and peas are I in the field and continue to develop ; in the seeds after they are placed in ; storage. For treating, the beans and ! lgeactrwi^pyTpnvDrouehlYjf ried and I placed ir?a!^nrii£m container, using ; one-half teaspoonful of carbon bi sulphide to the gallon of seeds, The fumigating should be done when the temperature is above 70 degrees and the seeds should be left in the tight ly closed container for from 24 to 36 hours. Maxwell suggests that a tightly woven cloth be securely tied over the mouth of the container, while the seeds are being aired, to prevent oth er insects from entering. After air ing for a few hours place the seeds in tightly woven sacks for storage. He further suggests that the fumi gation process be repeated at the first signs of insect presence and that the stored sacks be examined every month. The entomologist warns that car bon bisulphide is explosive and in flammable and that it should noo be used around fires, or sparks, or near lighted tobacco. -® Wheat The War Food Administration has asas-un-aas!. at J cent ^ bushel in the national average of wheat loan rates for the 1943 crop.

Happily discussing her own case, Mrs. Bangle states: “For years I was plagued with a weakened, nervous, rundown feel ing, and my arms and legs ached so terribly that after being up an hour or two I felt so exhausted and un comfortable I would have to lie down. I had no appetite and the lit tle I ate caused severe gas pains. I became almost afraid to eat. I was forced to rely on laxatives for elim ination. were on edge and l felt so weak and wretched tnat I could not go to town or even at tend church. MRS. JAMES A. BANGLE "Retonga was a blessing. I am so greatly relieved that I enjoy my food, my nerves are calm, and I don’t have to take strong laxatives. The aching and throbbing muscles are relieved ,too. It is a great joy to go shopping and attend church again. Retonga is grand.” Retonga is a purely herbal gas tric tonic combined with liberal quantities of Vitamin B-l. Accept no substitute. Retonga may be obtained at Clark’s Pharmacy.—Adv. 7 Y/8&MA AW cvwwy
