Xelson, want just one thing in this war—victory—and whatever it costs, they will pay without com plaint. Speaking at a reient patriotic rally before more than 100,000 persons in Soldiers Field, Chicago. Mr, Xelson lauded the -pirit of the American people for their determination to put winning the war ahead of every other consideration.'' Mr. Xelson warned that “this war has not been won ' and that “some very hard months are ahead of us.' “This is no time for easy optimism.” he said. He declared that “we know that our lighting men are going to win this war, but let us not forget that we at home could lose it for them if we failed to play our parts prop erly.” “We at home have a big job to do,” he said. This war makes a demand on every man, woman and child in the United States. If we meet that demand in full eve are going to win. If we fail, we can lose —and losing prove ourselves ! unworthy of our heroic soldiers. The WPB chairman declared that the Nation today “is really begin ning to work at full speed for the first time. ' and that as far as pro duction itself was concerned, "we are 'over the hump.' " He cautioned, however, that “as ; for inconveniences, discomforts and hardships that you and I will have to endure, we haven't even got to the foothills yet. Well really learn to take it And if 1 understand the temper of the American people today I don't think there will be one single com plaint. We know what we're up against. We want just one thing, victory. Whatever it costs, well pay and pay gladly.” Is This the Lull Before the Storm It may be just a lull before the storm, but the price picture for the last couple of months has been defi nitely serene, considered as a whole but with accent on those prices that most markedly affect cost of living. In the 10-weeks May 2—July 11 period wholesale prices for some 900 if“ms as covered by the Bureau of Labor Statictics actually went down, though by a mere two-tenths of one per cent. Food prices dropped 1.2 and textiles 0.4 per cent, and these are especially influential in cost-of living ratings. . . .The comprehen -ive cost-of-living index rose one per cent in April, went up only two tenths of a percentage point in May, and in June remained absolutely le | vel! . . . Nevertheless, the economic pulse-takers are somewhat uneasy, viewing with anxiety the persistently upward tendency of w'ages and the lack of assurance that farm prices will be effectively “ceilinged,’ since these are the two biggest elements in | determining the utimate cost of any thing to the consumer. The Fight Is On! By Ruth Taylor The world today has an opportuni ty seldom equalled in its history. There never was a time when preju dice. discrimination and hatred was more wide-spread. But—there nev er was a time when this hydraheaded monster was more clearly recognized for exactly what it is—a destructive force that feeds upon the weak, not as an animal, for self-preservation, but for the sheer lust of killing. Forced into the open by the war drums, it can be fought in the open and crushed into nothingness, if we face the dragon and fight it down in stead of hedging on the issues. I’p to now we have all too often compromised with evil. We have taken sides and condoned those cruel ties which did not affect our own par ticular interest. We need now to condemn cruelty as such—-whoever perpetuates it, or wherever it is in l existence—-whether it be in the con centration camps of Hitler, or on the Condensed Statement oi Condition of Branch Banking & T rust Company “THE SAFE EXECUTOR” PLYMOUTH, NORTH CAROLINA AT THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS JUNE 30, 1942 RESOURCES Cash and Due from Banks_§12,078,852.50 Obligations of the Tjnited States _ 16,406,742.71 Federal Intermediate Credit Bank De bentures _ 184,951.03 Federal Land Bank Bonds _ 279,416.25 North and South Carolina Bonds __1,222,467.91 Municipal and Other Marketable Bonds 1,759,798.33 31,932,228.83 Loans and Discounts _ 3,022,165.74 Accrued Interest and Other Assets_ 88,285.21 Banking Houses.

We must, however, be consistent Too many people seek--not fair play for all—but rule for themselves. We have seen that situation in India. With the enemy at their gates, In dian politicians sought advantages for their particular group, not equal ity for all. Look back a few years at the Axis record. First the Japanese complain ed that there was discrimination against them in Manchuria, so they seized it—and discriminated against every one else. Then the Italians claimed they were being oppressed in Ethiopia, so they started a fight— to enslave the Ethiopians. Finally Hitler claimed the Versailles treaty was unfair to Germany, so he start ed wars and imposed terms that made the Versailles treaty look like a Sunday School treat. We must make it so plain that no one can possibly not understand that whoever condones murder, massacre, cruelty, discrimination, slander, hat red toward any group, whether it be of race, nationality, color or religion, whoever seeks preferment for his own group at the expense of others, or without regard for the right of others, is playing the totalitarian game of divide and conquer. As Jonathan Daniels of the Office of Civilian Defense stated recently: “Intolerance is treason today.” Now the fight is out in the open, clearly labeled. Now is the time to wipe it out forever! -<j. Sunday Services ' Ai Saints Delight Rev. PRESTON CAYTON, Pastor Church service at Saints Delight Sunday. Bible school at 11; W. A. Swain, superintendent. Church service at 12 o'clock war time. Preston E. Cayton, pastor. Morning subject : "Doors That Open To God’s Power." Text: Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it."—Rev. 3:8. What do these words mean? Simp ly this: That if man and the cir cumstances of life have shut certain doors, there are other doors, inner doors, not in this world’s control, that no man can shut. We need to see this important fact clearly, that there are two sides of life. One is at the mercy of man and circum stance, and all the rich happiness of opportunity and privilege can be blacked out. How true that is. How close we all live to tragedy. With what tragic suddenness some doors are shut never to bt opened to us again. The other side of life has doors, inner doors, that God has opened and which no man can shut. When John was on the Isle of Patmos, there were doors of this world shut to him. But God had set a door be fore him which no man could shut. Many are saying today that if it were not for circumstances I would become a Christian. God can move those circumstances of life, that we might become a Christian. There are many things of this life close to you and me; there are doors which we will never pass through in this life. But, thank God, that in ner door set before mankind which the power of this world cannot close. Jesus says: Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If (any man) will hear my voice I will come in and sup with him and he with Me. Christ is standing at your door today. What will you do with Him? With you say with many, "Away With Christ”?

Daniels, Jr. Significant— In the lovely outdoor Chapel at Camp Leach, the Episcopal Camp and conference center on the Pemlico River belo\r Washington. N. C., there is a massive stone altar which is the central shrine of worship for those who attend the Camp. In its state ly simplicity and naturalness the al tar is a thing of exquisite beauty dedicated to God. The stones which were used to build the altar were pro cured from Bath. North Carolina, and were among the ballast rock thrown into Bath Creek by the crews of sailing vessels which put in at the port of Bath during the colonial per iod. These sailing ships discharged their light cargoes of tea, spices, cloth, and similar items: and when it became necessary to load their holds with the bulky products of co lonial America, tobacco, hides, and furs, the ballast rock, was thrown overboard to make room for the new cargo. At great labor and expense huge quantities of these rocks have been brought to the surface and are being used in the restoration of old St. Thomas' Church in Bath. Several tons of this ballast rock were used in the construction of the altar at Camp Leach. These stones were deposited in Bath Creek by ships from all over the world. At the bottom of Bath Creek rested for more than a century rock from England, Europe, the shores of Asia and Africa, and the coasts of North and South America. Prom the four corners of the world these stones have been collected and have been used in the construction of an altar to the glory of God. Nations of the globe now have their World War. Christian people of East Carolina have then- World Al tar. Recommended— Dr. Walter Russell Bowie’s book, ••The Story of the Bible", is an ex cellent background for a resonable and clear understanding of the Bi ble. It is scholarly and searching in its details, yet so simple and read able is its style that a young person of Junior High School age would have no difficulty in understanding its contents.
