Cowin left a noble record, one that will live in the deeds of men and women for years to Corhe. His humble walk through life, his teach ing's and preaching and his goodness enrich ed the lives of many hundreds and helped make this section a better place in which to live. He received lew earthly goods for his un tiring and devoted service, but surely he found comfort and consolation in the know ledge that he had fought the good fight, that when ill health forced his retirement from active service in the pulpit he could look back on a work well done, and that it yvas not in vain. In his dialy, lailhfullv maintained down through the years, his bigness and goodness are strikingly revealed. In the little books he noted forgiveness for those who wrong eel Mm. Ami then there were his little prayers, humbly jotted down ana directed to the point with marked simplicity. While hi' never aspired to high office, he filled his niche in life beyond the call of duty, solving his Maker and his lellowman in a way that endeared him to all whose pleasure and good fortune it was to know him. , it cuii be Sciid ot him, “vYcii done, thou good and faithful servant." » -*.....— - - Poor Man Bob Reynolds is a poor man! Politically, lie is about tlu' poorest ol the poor; in fact, be is just about poverty stricken, Financially, he should be in good shape, reports stating that he inherited much from his mother. Then he married into the Mc Lean family of Hope Diamond fame. It could be that he has run through it all. but Mr. Revnolds is very likely to find it an 1*i'* .i-;>s«\ d! 1 hi»vr !he.'TK s of the people as he did when he ran against that great Democrat. Cameron Morrison, for the Si nate. When ho was parading n mock eiv back then with his little old Ford, 11 was said that big ears were in the garage back in Asheville.

The answers fly ; thick and fast every time we Iwist the radio dial nt [uck up the morning paper. “The best defense is a .I OlicnSt ". 1 ’»U i1d — w [ up an atom bomb stockpile. Dove lope the hydrogen bomb. Manufacture bigger and better airplanes. Set up a strong military force, •The only defense is to make peace”. Call conferences. Compromise ideals if necessary. Divide the world into two spheres of in* flucnce. Maybe I'm wrong. But it seems In me that ■ we have skipped over me first and most important line of defense. The one without which till the other idea are as nothing. > A nation is as strong as the spirit of its ; people. Yes, 1 know. I said that all during the last war. And, what is more. I’m going to keep right on saying it. We proved it was true then - that our people - vou. me. and our neighbors - united in one spirit for the defense of their individual and collective rights as free men and women, were more than a match for the well drilled robots of a dictator dominated state. But unity of spirit is not a thing to be turned off and on like the switch on your radio. Strength of spirit cannot bo achieved over night. It must be built up, for it is com posed of understanding, forbearance, and appreciation, expressed in the day-by-day give and take of the democratic way of life. As far as sneak attacks and the atom and hydrogen bombs are concerned-even as I'ai as peace conferences and international agreements present themselves, we are more or less in the position of the airplane travel er. All we can do for our own protection is to see that we pick a line with good pilots and responsible maintenance crews. But what we can do to defend this land of ours is to make1 strong the spirit of the people. Ami that means US. We peed a revival of patriotism. 11 we truly believe that our way of life, our repub lican form of government, our democratic way of life, is the one we want, then we, as individuals can best defend it by living up to its high principals. To be concrete, we must put away divisiveness, stop petty bickerings bv self-interest blocs We must seek points of agreement and resolve differences from that base We must try to understand the other good of the country as a whole. This is not a job for any one group. The cracks in the wall of our national morale must be filled in with individual understand ing. A nation is as strong as the spirit of its «p*v«p!e. iW th*“ people- is YOC Treaehinfi llul l\ol Tnu liiing Senator Harry Byrd and his “economy” committee are preaching but not practic ing economy. It is revealed that the com mittee duplicates another, that neither is producing economy. But the taxpayers will have to go on foot ing the bill, because committees get appro priations and members of the committees ordinarily 'T’fJfndir" tflWV’irsh in dishing buf* jobs, financing jaunts and publicising the activities they want publicised. Inef fieieney There is ;» definite trend toward mechani zation and modernization in nearly every field except Congress. In the National House of Representatives, about one month in every session is lost call ing the rolls when a machine could do the job in a matter of seconds. i ABSOLUTE AUCTION Thursday, March 16 — 11 A.

That is the quality tobacco that BLEN.N, Swift’s specialized crop maker, helps you produce. This statement is backed up by the experience of successful grow ers of profitable tobacco. For instance, J. L. Parker, Colerain, N. C., has used Swift’s Plant Foods on his to bacco for 18 years. He has used BLENN ex clusively since it was introduced by Swift. He says: “BLENN has always made a good crop for me. It not only raises quantity, but produces the quality that cigarette manufac turers prefer.” And BLENN is now made even better. A new process which Ivy at Hit sifn tf Hm RID STEER combines complete mechanical mixing with complete chemical procession has been developed by Swift’s plant food research scientists. This makes New Process BLENN especially valuable for tobacco growers because it is so uniform in four important wavs: 1) uniform blending, mixing, cur ing; 2) uniform freedom from caking, lumping, bridging; 3) uni form distribution through your machines; 4) uniform feeding of your tobacco plants.
