Friday, September 12, has been proclaim- |
ed Band Day in Williamston. An appeal for
$1,500 has been issued and the preliminary j
response has been very gratifying. Surely, |
Williamston people will heed the appeal to
the fullest.
A comparatively small town in a county
not fat from here recently raised $5,000 for
its school band. It is believed that the peo
ple of this town will recognize the value
bound up in a group of tender-age musicians
and give them all the support needed.
Many postwar projects have been dis
cussed and planned. The Williamston High
School Band is the first to emerge as a going
and most promising concern. Let’s remem
.ber Band Day on Friday of this week and
keep the band playing.

Onr ('.an I llrlft lint IT’omlrr
when one reads about tobacco heiresses;
Miss Doris Duke and Miss Libby Holman,
for instance, and sees how many millions
they have, and then observes a snotty-nose
child riding to market on a load of tobacco
which will sell for barely enough to keep
life and soul together, he can't help but
wonder.
Oh, possibly it’s just the irony of fate that
such a condition exists. But we strongly
maintain that the farmer should not be
branded as a communist because’ he pleads
for more money with which to provide his
vounguns some of the good things in life, to
properly educate them and to give ’hem a
wholesome, healthful environment.
vent.ion in New York a short time ago. It
was a great event. New York’s policemen
were instructed not to molest the merry
makers when they drew their water guns,
shouted, whooped and cut up. The Legion
naires shouted when their leaders declared
that we must be strong, that we must be
ready to fight. The Legionnaires sat siieni
ly when a voice pleaded for peaceful action
and ultimate peace. One who dared sug
gest that we understand our recent allies
across the sea, that we should work as fer
vently for peace as we did for victory was
rated akin to a communist.
A recent report from Moscow tells about
the Red Legion of Russia holding a meeting
there at the same time our boys ywcre cele
celebrating over here. The actions of fhe
Legionnaires t'nf'Ye wen* appraised as being
little different from the antics employed in
New York. Moscow people could not sleep
for the noise and Moscow* policemen were
instructed not to molest the Legionnaires
just as New* York policemen had been in
structed. The Russian Legionnaires applaud
ed w'hen their speakers called for prepared
ness for any eventuality. The meeting, at
tracting mostly veterans from the old Czar's
army and veiy lew irotu the recent de
bacle, approved compulsory military train
ing. And anyone who dared disagree with
preparedness, military training and so forlh
was rated akin to a democrat.
There we have it, the facts clearly indicat
ing that somebody is being misled some
where.
The Americans in New York were told
that Russia is just about or almost ready to
attack us. The Russians are told in Moscow
that the United Statqs is just about or al
most ready to attack them.
The peaceful people in both nations may
cry out in vain in the wilderness as indi
viduals, but we feel certain that if all those
who believe in peace would rise up and
shout, thier cause would come out of the
wilderness and turn back the war mongers.
Let’s not forget, in connection with all the
debate about Russia, that the Russians are
entitled to enjoy unmolested any form of
government that they desire.
