Everybody's Job “What can I do?” That's a question that millions of Americans all over the country are asking today. We who are behind the far-flung battle lines of freedom —how can we help? The answer isn't hard to find. Not all of us can fly a bomber or operate a tank, but Jhere are many ways in which we caL—and must— aid our country. For one thing, we can all work harder at our jobs than ever before and in that way help increase Am erica’s production efficiency. We can be more careful and cut down acci dents. We can build up our health and our endurances against difficult days that are bound to come. We can avoid waste both at work and at home and help to conserve materials that L'ncle Sam needs now more than ever before. We can save waste paper and scrap metals that nearly every household has in the form of unused tools, kitchen utensils and similar articles. Our plants and factories have long had well organized methods of sal vaging such materials. One company saves enough aluminum to build ten tw'o-engine bombers every month from machine shop left-overs alone. Another gets 75.000,000 pounds of non-ferrous scrap metal every year from parts of its equipment that have outlived their usefulness. Now it’s up to us—every one of us— to work out salvage campa ittns in ou own homes and save w hatever w< can that our country nee ds. Many of the articles we have beer accustomed to buy won't be avail able any more. Industry will have to cut down on many products tc speed the output of wea.pons. In stead of blaming our industrial sy stem for these shortages, we can ac cept them cheerfully, keep up our morale and realize that metals and materials that in peace-time we use, are now building up the best Army, Navy and Air Force in the world. Congratulations To The Prize Winners We take time out here and now to extend our sincere congratulations to the Jackson News, which is edit ed by a native Washington Count ian, on winning the North Carolina Press Association award for general excellence in the weekly newspaper group at the annual mid-winter in stitute held in Chapel Hill last week. Having been a winner of the trophy last year ourselves, and a contender for the honor again this year, we can appreciate the glow of satisfaction which must come to James Bateman, the editor, and to Parker Brothers, the publishers, for the recognition and honors deservedly bestowed upon the News. Incildentally, The Reacon is quite proud of its accolade, “honorable mention," in the same contest. This is the third honor, and certainly it is gratifying to be grouped with the Jackson News and the Gates County Index for two years in a row as leaders in their class of weekly jour nalism. The same three papers ran one-two-three last year and this year; the News advancing from second to first; the Index from third to second; and The Beacon go ins from first to third. Our congratula tions are also extended to Miss Addie Mae Cooke, editor of the Index, upon winning the second-place cer tificate this year. Be Not Afraid! By Ruth Taylor Too many of us are in the grip of fear today. It is a fear that is blind, unreasoning, devastating in its effect. We could not say of what we are airaid. One thing is certain it is not a purely physical fear. It is a fear of the changes that war wih bring, of the new hardships, the un tried difficulties, the loss of old land marks, of certain securities that were dear because they were familiar. It is a fear of being afraid. There is no need to be ashamed of fear. Fear actually signifies a form of foresight—an ability to see ahead—to imagine a possible evil But it is lacking the vision which enables us to see beyond the ultimate good. The half versed traveller look ing up at the lowering clouds sees bad weather—but the trained pilot thinks beyond to the upper sky and a clear passage above the clouds. What is important about fear i; the power to conquer it. It is this ability to be afraid and not to give way to fear that lifts man above the animals. It is the power to pause and wait—not run in blind terror— to go ahead and walk steadily no only in face of danger but in spite of fear. To meet a fear face to face and not be dogged by its hot breath So Your Car Didn't Sturt This Morning! Some other cars just did start, so there’s something WRONG besides the cold weather. And we’ll show you how to start it regardless of weather. Perhaps it is the battery, perchance it is the oil, it could be the transmission, or it might even be “the nature of the brute.” IN ANY EVENT Our "Trouble-Shooters'' Will Set Your Car Right HOUSE Chevrolet Co. W. C. House, Mgr. J. W. House, Asst. Mgr. SOMETHING ALL CAN DO - --- r~——“ BY LICKING* ENOUGH DEFENSE STAMPS— 1 WE CAN XTHE IS// \w it the back of the neck—that is the mark of man. Whenever I'm afraid — which is often - 1 think of an English lad who died twenty and more years ago. He conquered fear. He lost his life—but even in dying, left a source of strength to others. He was a timid child—but he was taught to fight fear. His sister told me how he would be the first to do the daring things—because he was afraid. He feared the dark—so he always went first. He feared horses—so he put his pony at the stiffest jumps. He would just say, “ T'm the one that's afraid, so 1 11 do it!-’ He hated war, suffering, blood— so he went out with the ”01d Contemptibles’ and was killed in the Mons retreat, stay ing behind with a wounded soldier. But he still lives. His brother, when praised for his own courage, would only say, “I couldn't let Noel down, and I was afraid.” It is that kind of courage we need today. The courage that will enable us to say. ‘‘I dread w’hat is coming— but I can face it.” Fear is never half so bad when you walk up to it. -n Praise for Southern Industry and Labor From the Procurement Planning District, where industrial surveys are made for the Quartermaster Corps, comes high praise for Southern in dustry and labor. In the Atlanta office, which hand les surveys of industries in the 400, 300 miles of the eight Southeastern states comprising the Fourth Corps \rea, officers are quick to praise the cooperation accorded them by factory owners and managers of this part of the country. All this is significant. A tremend ous part of the burden of furnishing supplies to the new Army falls on the shoulders of Southerners. In the yarn industry, of more than 23 million active spindles in this country more than 16 million of these are in Southern mills. Thus, 70 per cent of cloth for the soldier's uni forms must come from our mills. And now, as a result of long range planning on the part of the Procure ment Planning District of the Quart ermaster Corps, comes word that the Southerners are carrying their part of the burden nobly. Plans for buy ing yarn, for weaving quill, for fin shing and for making a garment out of the cloth must be made months ahead. Demands from the army and the production and potential produc tion of factories must be considered And Southern industrialists are mak 'ng this information atailable and are readily assisting in plans for speed up production and factory conver sion. Balance V/heel The pinch of priorities is really be ginning to be felt. And it is being felt by the individual consumer, no less than by businesses which are nc longer able to obtain adequate quan tities of materials which were once abundant. As the defense effort gains momen tum and production soars upward, the consumer’s problems will become more severe. He may not be able to walk into a store and purchase precisely what he wants. Other art icles he is used to may become ex cessively costly. That, however, should not be cause for worry and despair. There are plenty of inexpensive substitutes for practically everything that is becom ing scarce or expensive. And there! Rambling ...About By THE RAMBLER Poor Old Schickelgruber— News dispatches say that the wrongs inflicted upon peace-loving citizens of Europe by a conquering horde of Nazis under the direction of a strutting, power-crazed Adolph Hitler is coming home to the little Fuehrer before he can complete his task of subjugating the world. Hitler started his march through Europe by taking Poland, Denmark and other countries. At first he dis counted God as excess baggage and moved along in his own might with his ministers of culture on the home fields devising a Nazi church that exalted Hitler to the realm of the divine. But now resting in a dugout near the cold Russian front, the penitent Hitler has probably even figured out that God is a good one to have on a conqueror's side because it is noised abroad now that he will even count enance prayer if someone else does the praying and mention him as the recipient of the blessings of the Sup reme Being. However, the little Fuehrer might say, how can a man and his army endure the rigors of elements that is where the need for consumer edu cation comes in. A world war must enforce changes in the manner of living of all. But much of the shock can be eliminated if the public is shown how to best and most easily adapt itself to changing times and conditions. The retail stores are doing highly' important work—a work whose value will grow rapidly as time wears on. This na fion can remain well fed, well clothed ind well housed, despite the needs of America Salutes New York IVorld Telegram We must fight with everything we have. It will not be easy. But the greater our concentration and the greater our sacrifice the sooner the victory. America salutes the Presi dent, who fought so nobly for Pacific peace, and who now leads us in the just cause of self-defense. America salutes the armed forces, who have never lost a war.

So Hitler with his back to the wall called on his Axis friends to divert the attention of the victorious Brit ish and Russians by getting his little yellow friends to pounce upon the great, big United States that had been furnishing a goodly supply of weapons and supplies to his enemies. So the little war-minded Japs who are enslaved by their warlords made brave and attacked possessions of this country and the British in the Pacific Ocean. Hitler had told practically all of the countries in Europe that he had nothing against them and that there borders would be held inviolate. A sudden change of mind caused him to give the word that sent his goose stepping Nazis into the little coun tries of Europe and locking them up in a vise. His promises to others were not his only prime method of lying but he has bragged that Germany had plenty of food, clothes and provis ions to continue a long war but in 1942 his soldiers have been accused of stealing clothes, food, ammunition and other supplies from his allies, the Italians. So by bribery, treachery, propa ganda and other vile methods he is now the master of Europe. But he is not a happy man by any means. There probably must have been a little of his treachery in his own people because he filed five of his great military leaders at one purge and then his Navy men grumbled that the Gestapo police were too mean and harsh toward them. Meantime, the traitors of the coun Lries that fell into his hands are now being tabulated in a black book. For everyone who has committed a grevious crime the refugee govern ment officials of several countries that are now in London have listed the criminals and they will be called to account when the war is ended in victory for the Allies. When the German army started purging the w'orld of the non-aryans many months ago, it was hardly thought that the Japanese would be come as honored on earth as the men of destiny who claimed that on ly white men of the best intellect and blood could become allies in arms. The Nazis slaughtered the Jews in order to give the world a thoroughbred German rule. What now will happen to the gullible Japs? Can they with their yellow faces sit at the banquet table with Germany’s full-blooded Aryans? Somewhere in a book that has been “GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD” (Mat. 6:11) “YOUR” Daily Devotional Program 7:15 a. m. WPTF, Raleigh, N. C. I handed down for ages Is a saying that there “will be wars and rumors of wars.” It's not unusual for wild rumors to accompany wars. But there are surely many wild rumors that are floating today. There is the rumor that Hess. No. 2 Nazi, fled to England to get Great Britain to fight alongside Germany in Russia. But that great empire remained steadfast and chose the victorious Red Armies as their allies. Hitler has fed the world on rumors as his propaganda ministers diffused tricky tales to catch the allies off guard. But while this man specialized in rumors, the United States has prac ticed the good neighbor policy. This policy has brought together of their own accord 29 nations that will not make a separate peace with Hitler or his Axis partners. Lies, subterfuge, and false rumors will never com mand respect like fair dealing. Even the countries that Hitler conquered by might are now disregarding his mailed fist to sabotage and destroy what he has conquered. Hitler has made a mistake. All \ criminals make at least one grave mistake. The Fuehrer made his when he turned on Stalin while placating him with lies and rumors. But this great communist leader was a match for the Satan of the Germans. He would have probably been in Eng land now if he had stayed out of Russia. But the cold weather, dis ease and his enemies are now array ed against the little corporal. Now he is feeding the Germans on : rumors of great gains made^ by the Japs while his armies are falling brxk in Libya and Russia. But hta little yellow allies, treacherous and crafty, have bit off a big hunk. They are chewing but can they masticate a country as large as tha United States. It is the duty of every American to buy Defense Bonds and Stamps; to do everything in their power to help in national defense; to go when their country calls. And while doing all of this it might be encouraging to know that in this total wrar that those who suffer now may have to .suffer the least. Providence has not only visited re verses, pestilence, hunger, disease on the German folks and those whom they have conquered, but the Ger mans have suffered from the cold as well. And somewhere in the little dugout on the Russian front is an ill man, the Nazi Fuehrer. With his people freezing, his army overtaken by lice and typhus, the Russians spilling the blood of his faithful men, : apturing supplies and his own body krecked by nervous disease, the lit tle old Fuehrer still thinks that there is no God but himself and that his people are the chosen of the earth.
