Tuesday, June 19, 1945. i Public Servant Retire* Dr. Wm. R. Burrell, after more than fifty years of faithful service, is retiring to a well earned rest. Completing his second pastorate here on Jum ", Dr. Burrell goes to western Carolina for the summer, but he leaves monu ments to his memory in the form of a splendid church plant and possibly more important the lruits of his labor. The fruits cannot be meas ured in physical terms, but no doubt they more than equal the material gains in a given period. And then the minister will never leave his adopted home in spirit, for he loved Williams ton and its people. His goodness overflowed the bounds of his congregation and reached out to others in distress regardless of denomina tion, color or creed. While he isn’t as young as he used lo be, he never held back on that account when he could be of service to his fellowman. It was not un usual to find him walking long distances to vis it the sick or call to offer a prayer after a wrar casualty message was delivered. He was not too busy with other things to preach, practice and live the teachings of his church, to cheer the despondent and to give aid, material and spir itual to the needy. He answered the call of his country back iri 1918. Given a leave of absence he went over seas and his services as a chaplain were much in demand. Returning here m November of the following year, he continued his work in the lo cal church until 1921 when he resigned for work in the religious-education field and for pastor ates in western Carolina. He had earned retire ment, but in February, 1942, he again answer ed the call and came to Wiiliamston to fill the unexpired term of Jas. H. Smith, resigned. He came to stay three months, and stayed over three years. The church here has progressed and the community has reaped many benefits from his two pastorates. He will be remember ed by hundreds both inside and outside h>« church, especially by those youtns who found him at the bus sta'trbn'with‘the* little Red Cross’ bags to bid them goodbye and good luck as they went off to war, The minister really isn’t leaving Wiiliamston; he is going away for a well-earned vacation in the mountains He’ll be coming back and he will be welcomed back, no matter how long or how often are his visits. Costly Imperialism The makings of a major war flared up in the Middle East a short time ago when the French and Arabs clashed in Syria. All the facts are not known, but from this distance it appears that imperialism is still rampant in the land. The French claim the Arabs fired on them, but it appears to be about the same old story where a nation to further its national interests resorts to bloodshed and strife. If the French want a safe route to French Indo-China, let them main tain it on a friendly rather than a domineering military basis. Let France explain its title to II she can t maintain routes to tnose posses sions and hold on to those possessions without fighting, then it will be cheaper for France and the world for her to give them up. Individuals and small groups may have prof ited by colonial possessions, but the masses have had to pay high taxes lor and fight in one war after another because.of conflicting inter ests claimed by imperialists. It is about time for the imperialists to wake up and realize that the day of holding people in subjection to advance their greedy aims is about past. World trade is to be desired, but it must be maintained on a mutual basis. The Phoenicians accepted only gold in exchange for their goods and when they got all the gold, they dried up. If we try to maintain trade after an imperialistic fashion we will soon dry up too, and in addition be subjected to strife and war on a world-wide basis. We have tried imperial istic methods long enough. Now, let’s try trad ing on a mutual and friendly basis. And if we have to fight a neighbor to trade or barter with him, it will be better and cheaper to alter our economy and trade with those who will play fair.

Whatever readjustments will come with peace, this section of the Union will continue to be the “Solid South’*—not in terms of politics but in the substantial fig ures of assured resources. A recent statement of the productivity of the Southern states shows that they produce: More than 90 percent of the nation’s cotton. One hundred percent of the nation’s cane for sugar. Eighty-seven percent of the rice. Forty-eight percent of the citrus fruit. Sixty-six percent of the tobacco. Thirty percent of the soy beans. Ninty-four percent of the sweet potatoes. Also, the South has 60 percent of the nation’s farms, one-third of America’s min erals including two-thirds of the oil, one fifth of the bituminous coal, two-thirds of the natural gas, half of the marble, 97 per cent of the sulphur, 40 percent of the forests and all of the turpentine and resin. The South was once called, by eminent authority, the “nation’s No. 1 economic problem.” By intelligent and intensive de velopment of its natural resources, plus its established production of the commodities of commerce and consumption, the South will, in the not distant future, become rec ognized as the nation’s No. 1 economic asset.
