"■■W"1'- rviy.v.v.v.viTwrnTfTr mm ’ttoyTOmi';x.n^i^rr>Trr: United \f ar Fund Martin County rang the bell in oversubscrib ing the Third War Loan. It was no small feat to raise a cool million dollars in cash, but we should remember that it was an investment, one that is certain to pay a dividend in more ways than one. The investment will have paid an in valuable dividend if only the war’s end is hast ened by even one minute 01 less. We have made a valuable investment, it is agreed, and now our people are being called upon to dig down into our pockets and pull out liberal contributions in support of the United War Fund for the welfare of our own service men and to relief, in part if no more, the suf fering of humanity across the face of the earth. To handle the task in its entirety is admitted ly beyond the realm of human hands, but it is no unreasonable task to raise $10,500, Martin County’s quota. Despite his many important duties, Mr. N. C. Green has agreed to head the drive in the coun ty. Others have agreed to help, many of them having volunteered their services after recog nizing the important and the great and appeal ing need for giving aid and succor to the hun gry, ill-clad and homeless millions in addition to bolstering the welfare of our servicemen in all corners of the world. Mr. Green and his help ers are to be congratulated for accepting the assignment. It is our sincere belief and earnest hope that every person in Martin County will rally behind them in support of the drive to be launched on October 25 for suffering humanity. The Meaning Of Liberty We are fighting for liberty, and since we are doing that it is indeed timely to brush up on the meaning of liberty. Abraham Lincoln declared that there was no good definition of the word, but iit- goes ahead to offer a comparison that leaves no doubt in any one’s mind what kind of liberty the world is fighting for. He said in 1864: ihe world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now are much in wrant of one. We all de clare for liberty; but in using the same word we do no1 all mean the same thing. With some the j word liberty may mean for each man to do as | he pleases with himself, and the product of his I labor; while with others the same word may ! mean for some men tc. *s they please with | other men, and the product of other men’s la bor. Here are two, not only different but in i’ i...'* tte::g^-ca!!eck£withy«-c-'ysie ■ amr. Ti berty. And it follows that each of the things is, i by the respective parties, called by two differ ent and incompat.ie.i-~ names—iinert v and'.tyrrn* I us ms Troeraiur, while the wolf denounces him i for the same act, as the destroyer of liberty, es pecially as the sheep was a black one. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word liberty; and precisely the same difference prevails today among us human creatures even in the North, and all professing to love liberty. Hence we behold the process by which thousands are daily pass ing from under the yoke of bondage hailed by some as the advance of liberty, and bewailed by others as the destruction of liberty.” 1 UirnaT lor which the sheep Ih dr vacs sheep’s .c shepherd Treachery, Eh? Adolf Hitler had a great deal to say when the Italians balked. It was treachery, Adolf allow ed. Just to keep the record straight, let’s review Adolfs record: “The German people have no thought of in vading any country.” (Berlin, May 17, 1933.) “Germany has neither the wish nor the inten tion to mix in internal Austrian affairs or an nex or unite with Austria.” (Reichstag, May 21, 1935.) “We- are ready to acknowledge and guaran tee these states (the Low Countries) at all times as inviolable neutral territory.” (Reichstag, Jan uary 30, 1937.) “We succeeded in arriving at an agreement (with Poland) which, for the duration of 10 years, basically removes the danger of any clash . . . We are two peoples. They shall live. One cannot annihilate the other.” (Sportspalast, September 26, 1938.) “The German Reich and the Kingdom of Den mark will under no circumstances resort to war or any other form of violence against each oth er.” (Article I of pact signed in Berlin, May 31, 1939.) “I will not war against women and children. I have ordered my air force to restrict itself to attacks on military objectives.” (Berlin, Septem ber 1, 1939.) “We (Germany and the Soviet Union) have, therefore, resolved to conclude a pact which rules out forever any use of violence between us.” (Berlin, September 1, 1939.) “In the spirit long existing of good German Norwcgian relations the Reich Government no tifies the Norwegian Government that she has no intention, through her measures now or in the future, of infringing upon the territorial integrity or the political independence of the Kingdom of Norway.” (Berlin, April 9, 1340.) And as for “rescued” Mussolini who talks about “betrayal- let xiim remember and stew in those memories as they relate to Ethiopia, Al bania, Greece—and that infamous “stab in the back” administered France.

This will go into fiber board, boxes and paper contain ers to ship food, shells, gun parts and supplies of all kinds to our troops on the far-flung battle fields of the world. R. VV. Oraeber, Excnsion for State College Hints For Farm Homes —•— By RUTH CURRENT In spite of the publicity given to War Bonds, there is still considerable misunderstanding about them. Here are some of the questions most fre quently asked home agents and sug gested answers to them: 1. What kind of government bonds should a farm family buy? War Bonds are the safest invest ment ever offered farm people. Just like a $10 bill, a War Bond is the promise to pay by the strongest gov ernment in the world, but unlike the $10 bill, the War Bond tfays interest and if lost or destroyed will be re placed. 2. “I bought a $100 Liberty Bond back in 1918 and when I came to sell | it, I got only $83.50 for it. Will that happen to these ‘E’ Bonds?” War Bonds are not subject to mar ket price fluctuations. A Series E bond may be redeemed at any time after 60 days from issue and the own er will always get at least as much as he paid for it. Interest accrues to the bond by increases in the redemption value af ter the first year and at the end of gftch half-year period thereafter un til the bond is redeemed or matured, [n other words the bond “puts on weight” and if kept until maturity ! will return $4 for every $3 invested. The owner of a bond can redeem .tt with the United States Treasury but he cannot sell it to anyone else. 3. “Should I buy Bonds or pay iobts?” Get dobts into shape and then build up a financial reserve in War Bonds. Getting debts into shape, however, should not necessarily mean getting entirely out of debt. If all of any increased income avail able is paid on a mortgage, it will probably be necessary after the war' ester at State College, says, “No wonder the farmer feels that ev ery piece of pulpwood he gath ers is that much more ammuni tion to fire on our enemies. For without those vitally needed stores of wood the farmers of North Carolina are supplying, our boys on the battle fronts would be without many necessi ties." Arrested As Spy CHARGED with violation of the Wartime Espionage Act, John da Silva Purvis, 43-year-old Portu guese, was arrested In Newark, N. J., by FBI agents Chief Hoover alleges that Purvis has been acting as a spy for Germany since early in '42 after war begad. (International) to borrow again to replace and re pair equipment and buildings at a | time when it may not be so easy to increase a mortgage as it was to re duce it. When the war ends, a reasonably sized martgsgq, ar.d a good reserve in War Bonds is likely to be a bet ter combination than no mortgage and no bonds. -» Cotton Of the first 1,500 bales of cotton classed under the Smith-Doxey Act in North Carolina this year, 05 pel cent graded middling or better, and 90 per cent showed a staple length of one inch or longer. €i PROTECT YOUR EARNINGS— ~ Pay Fl/vi’y, Rv Chech " You have a permanent record of pay ing every bill, when you pay by check!
