SUBSCRIPTION RATES IN MARTIN COUNTY Six Months . _ OUTS I PE MARTIN COUNTY o5e i ear . . Six Months ______ L75 No Subscription Received Under 6 Morths Advertising Rate Ord Furnished Upon Request Entered at the post office in Williamston, N. C., as second-clasi matter under the act of Con gress of March 3, 1879. Address all communications to The Enter prise and not individual members of the firm. Friday, April 7, 1944. Not Advertised To The IT orlil Apparently angered by the graft in war con tracts. Comptroller Lindsay Warren said recent ly: “The cost-plus-fixed-fee contract is the most extravagant, most vicious, most damnable form of business imaginable. We expect big figures for war—but every dollar should show a dol lar’s worth in return—and it doesn’t." That was some time ago, and the kept-press ! and the controlled radio haven’t yet found lime to tell the people about it. That's where the j trouble is, and when one offers to criticise those | agencies for keeping silent about graft in the high places it is not to undermine the press, but to point out that unless all the facts, irrespective of their weight, are publicized, the press and radio will undermine themselves. Sooner or la ter the facts will be known and a discredited agency will have a hard time trying to explain away its failure. Mr. Warren has found smoke and fire in those juicy contracts, but the patriotism of the big boys has not yet been questioned. Mr. Warren, in an interview, said he found “greed and av rice rather than patriotism in war contracts.” We would shoot a striker who asks for a liv ing wage and at the same time we pat on the back the big guy who can swindle the govern ment by driving a hard bargain. But the facts j in both cases are either warped or are never told. Time To Strike? Smiihfield Herald. Men in uniforms, home on leave, read the headlines, mutter to themselves. Farmers, stum bling in rheumatic stiffness to their pre-dawn chores, rebel against impending strikes, com pute agriculture’s “overtime” based on work from 6 a. m. to 8 p. m. seven days a week. Organized labor, of course, is acting not much differently than every other group in our pop which vr-re designed to ha!; inflation and hold down the cost of living. Ml .jin u.i■■,.■,)i,;.dffwgpwpwi..MBi«.mm ... negotiation of contracts, has ridden the war ef mm i ■ i MW —■>Vm doing a tremendous holiday business largely with ersatz goods, have joined the procession. When Uncle Sam is clenching a Garand rifle with both his hands there is no hand left to hold onto his pockets. It is then that this lesser breed of American, the take-advantage-of-a-good-thing boys, these pocketbook patriots, grab hold and gouge. It isn't a pretty sight. It isn’t a very nice trib ute to the kids in uniform who are dying throughout the globe to protect the America we call home. Yet it has happened in every war —in fact the “best families” in the east made their first millions profiteering in flimsy cloth ing and rotten'food our mg the Givil War. When labor threatens strikes it is a bad thing for America and for labor It is the move of poor leadership and poor strategy. Yet what labor is doing openly, flamboyantly and boldly every other group in America, with few exceptions, has also done* or tried to do. Industry struck, too, when it was asked to quit making peacetime goods, convert to war needs. Congress struck, not once but time aftei time. The farmers, too, have struck. It is the current phychology of wrar. In all America today there is the feeling: “This war won't last much longer. I must act quickly to make my quick profit, my extra skimming of cream, before war ends and the possibility of a ‘good thing is gone.’ ” It is a vicious psycholo gy, yet it dominates America today. Making Progress According to rumors: The State Department is about to recognize Spain’s Franco for what he has been and still is, and Congressman Clare Hoffman is about ready to declare war on Hit ler. And they are two good signs that we are go ing to make more progress in this war. Approximately 51,000 messages are exchang ed monthly between persons in this country and their friends and relatives in enemy and enemy-occupied countries through Red Cross Communication Service.

Text: If a Man Desireth the Office of a Bishop, He Desireth a Good Work. A Bishop Must Be Blame less.—I Tim., 1-2. Dear Brethren of the Churches of Christ and everyone: I am happy to speak to you once more through the spirit of God. The Lord has sent me abroad as a doctor of righteousness to serve as a servant on the battlefield for my Jesus. Al though the medicine is very bitter sometime, it will cure our worried hearts and save our precious souls. I have studied the book of Christ and His Disciples. Christ taught nothing but perfection. He set an example for His followers, and His pattern is just as firm now as it was then.—I Peter, 2:21. Dear Brethren, We bishops or preachers, have broken down the standard of Christ and His Apostles. We shouldn't do worldly things. We are in the world but we shouldn’t be of the world. I notice every day of my life that some preachers, teachers, and leaders and Christians are taking an active part in worldly things. My dear friends, God is very displeased with some of us. We are the light of the world. When our light grows so dim that our children and sinners can not see the way to go, then the world will be in darkness, and great will be the *al! So let us stand for Him, and He will enable us to stand the great crises.—Mat., 5:14. Some are troubled about the war. Jesus says I am a doctor for every moral thing and my drugs are ade quate. So let us live by faith and accept the medicine that will cure our hearts and our souls. W illiamston Stores WILL BE CLOSED On Wednesday Afternoons At 1 O’clock P.
