I Saint*’ for thv Tram
Coach Maynard and his boys arc to be
congratulated for their enviable record at
tained in football this season, and it goes
without saving that the town and others
are proud of them. Fans and friends glory
in the championship record, but they are
equally impressed with these isuos too often
branded as side issues, but, after all, are as
aqually important as victory itself.
The young men, for the most part, have
impressed others with their good sportsman
ship and recognition of the rules of the game.
During the great reception given the re
turning boys on the main street here Sat
urday evening, Principal B. G. Stewart
complimented them upon the good conduct
displayed during their three-dav trip. While
the little rally centered around a victorious
team, the principal's remarks carried weight
and pointed to an asset far more valuable
than the big end of a football game score.
Here's to more victories and champion
ships. but let them continue to be with hon
or and real purpose.
i.ust Mi-ols II <•$(
Traveling with their footbjkll team, quite
a few easteners met westerners in Gaston
County last week-end and our people were
favorably impressed. The representatives
numbering more than 2(H), declared they
were impressed by the friendliness of thi*
Bessemer City people whose sportsmanship
was maintained on a high level and who
valued the higher ideals of the game above
victory itself.
“We would prefer to gain and hold your
friendship than win," more than one Besse
mer City fan was quoted as saying.
Hardly knowing what to expect when they
left for the west, members of Williamston's
team learned in due time they were against
a formidable opponent, but they readily
realised the Bessemer City boys were not
p! vmg I'uI MBW*
While local Ians were pleased uith d.e
score, the fi iciulh reception accorded them
by Bessemer City will long be remembered
after the field victory is forgotten.

“Loan to Argentina geared to bail out U
S, traders," reads a headline.
The loan in queftion runs well in excess
of one hundred million dollars, and has the
strong backing of United States business in
terests in Argentina and in Argentina trade,
’The loan may be in perfect order, but it
has its undertones. Strangely enough, the
economizers who yell and shout and holler
about a Commodity Credit Corporation loan
to American farmers are quiet on the Ar
gentina loan front
In other words, it is all right for the gov
ernment to risk its dollars in the name of
business men, but it is socialistic for the gov
ernment to risk its dollars in the najne of
the tillers of the soil and the workingmen.

' Russia, if war comes, will be at a disad
vantage because of its low educational stan
dards, a commentator explains.
If the examinations at Army receiving
stations in this country are on the level, we
haven't too much to brag about.
It would seem, judging from the trend of
events, that somebody hasn’t enough educa
tion to keep the peace, and now we are told
that somebody has enough education to fight
a war.
We’ll trade war education for peace ed
lication any time.

Hard To Folloir
General Douglas MacArthur may be eve
rything his worshippers claim him to be,
but the warror is a bit hard to follow in far
away Korea.
In mid-October our forces were literally
trapped. Possibly he Is not to be held ac
countable, but a second and far more dan
gerous trap was sprung in November, after
the hero general was credited with saying
the Chinese would not enter the war and
that the boys would be home for Christmas.
Possibly the general was making the most
of a gamble in an effort to end the war, and
regardless of how bitter they are, the re
verses are to be accepted. But if the general
planned the daring advance beyond the
realm of reasonable military strategy, then
it is about time to hold some body account
able. General MacArthur, it is alleged, shif
ted the burden to other service branches in
his daring exploits during World War II.
The Navy delivered back there, but so far
no one has been able to step in and get our
men out of a jam in Korea before casualty
tolls mounted.
Religion Ami Our Lit us
The question is: To what extent do our
everyday laws stem from religion? . .
Perhaps our current philosophy of life
would be more clear and would provide a
better direction for our material objectives
if we remind ourselves of some government
al antecedents.
Our predecessors were not only willing to
recognize and do obeisance to a Power high
er than themselves but they expressly so
stated in permanent form. The first formal
act of our nation was its Declaration of In
dependence in 1776 wherein the Creator was
specifically named as the source of the
equality of man and his right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. That docu
ment was not only a Declaration of Inde
pendence from England but was also a dec
laration of dependence on God for all of our
rights and liberties.
Before the adoption of our federal consti
tution states that the people are “grateful
to Almighty God for the blessings of lib
erty.”
It has been well said that the American
Revolution was “a revolution of believers,”
and George Washington declared that “re
ligion and morality are indispensable sup
ports to government.”
No profound study is required to estab
lish that many of the most important Qf our
mundane enactments are but humaj^ at- '
tempts to carry out the fundamental teach
ings of religion.
The Ten Commandments are not so desig
nated in our secular law books nor is Moses
there mentioned. Nevertheless, his moral
code, if we may use that term, is reflected
in the present laws of every civilized na
tion. The laws of Moses have retained rec
ognition for thousandsyof years merely be
cause he was able to classify in temporal
language the basic precepts toward right
and wrong.
Notwithstanding the eminence of Christ’s
teachings at numerous places under varying
circumstances, many Biblical scholors held
that he rose to the zenith of His power in
the Sermon on the Mount and some con
t<-’.hv-t:' • He had nothing else, •,
casion alone would have marked Him as
one of the most influential teachers of all
time. In the public mind that sermon is
probably best remembered in its condensed
form, known as the Golden Rule, “Do unto
others as ye would be done by.” And wheth
er legislators or congressmen know it or not
they are constantly seeking to enforce that
rule. . . .
The late John M. Zane, one of the leading
practicing lawyers of recent years, wrote,
“Religion has probably done more that all
other influences to mould the human race to
a reign of law. Moral law stands behind
and upholds the legal system."—Lansing
(Mich.) State Journal.
/loir Much Loft
Tin1 nation’s corporations this year art
reaping a $37-billion profit-an all-time high
Taxes will cut that figure to $22 billion
That’s a fairly sizable amount, and it is rea
soned that a four billion-dollar excess profits
tax will not place the crops on charity, that
they will have something left.
Individual income taxes and the bare ne
cessities of life leave the individual without
no such comparative amount.
Clean Out The Surplua
Yugoslavia is facing starvation, and to
hold the friendship of Tito, the United States
is willing to accept Spain’s Franco, guts,
feathers and all. Millions for relief are con
sidered.
Now, we have been reminded of the vast
surplus of foods, dehydrated and stored in
caves in this country. Whv not clean out the
surplus, relieve the condition the critics
have yelled so long and loud about, and at
the same time, feed the hungry?
