Thursday, July 29, 1943 It i not until we have passed through the furnace that we are made t<. know how much dross there I- in our composition.—Colton --® One Down— Two To Go The Axi- hymn of hate, originally written and produced as a trio, lost it ba o profundo Sunday, when Be nin/ Bussolini taded from the stage as Italian premier For some time now, the Sawdust Caesar has not been in food voice, and his former thunder ous note: dwindled to a frightened pipsqueak as the overtones of the United Nations chorus swelled evet nearer tu the shores of Italy. The triu has become a duet ; with Hitler, the Wagnerian baritone, mark ed as the next tu fall. When that oc cur'—well, the hymn of hate loses much of its effectiveness when ren dered a a solo in Japanese srlibants. Despite the good news—and it is good—id no one make the mistake of assuming that our war is won. The task r not done but it is, well begun Mussolini was the weakest of the Axis triumvirate, and it is natural that he should be hr-.t to fall. Our military men knew that and made them plans accordingly. Germany n till very powerful, but nu all-powerful The same is true of Japan. The might ol the United Na tions is making itself felt, and it will prevail in the end. but that might is dependent upon everyone doing the job :et out for him, without slacken ing to Lt-lebrate favorable news con cerning incidental progress Last week there were three major threats to free people everywhere— Hitler, Tujo and Mussolini. This week there are two. We must not lose sight of the fact that our hard est battles are ahead of us, not be hind us. One down and two to so—that is the watchword. j It Is Our Task 1 By Ruth Taylor We who have boasted like the Pha risee of old—"I thank Thee. Lord, that I am not as other men,” have had a rude awakening in the mob at tack-. and riots that have sprung up like poison weeks in various parts of the country. We thought it couldn't happen here, that we were too well balanced, too secure in our own freedoms for prejudice and hatred to flare beyond the bounds of talk We understand the greatness of the tensions of war. We overestimate our own strength of charac ter u e forgot how we had permitted ii to be sapped by group thinking, birred up by subtle propa ganda. undermined by careless cr11i cism, poisoned by suspicion Our faith in democracy is now be ing te-ted We who have prated of feredom have to decide whether we tear freedom for other It make-: no difference whether the recent trouble: were the work ot enemy saboteurs, or of groups within our own conutry. It maks no difference on whose side the rii is take-, were. If the other side makes mistakes, so do we. And it is more important for us to humbly acknowledge our own errors than to spend our time criticising those of the other side We must apply democracy to all groups within our country if we aie to get that democrat \ for ourselves. We must champion the rights of all people to fair treatment if we expect fair treatment for ourselves. We must stand up for the rights of all, if there are to he rights for any. The responsibility, as alwrays, lies with the majority. There is no real minority problem—it is always the problem of the majority. This does not mean that the majority must cod dle the minority—far from it. But, as the stronger power, the majority is charged with enforcing the law., which it has made, and with such fair and equal treatment to ail minorities within its ranks, that there is no room tor resentment from those mi norities. To serve our own best interests, we must follow the course ot right. There is nothing that can endure that is built on unfair treatment. And the remedy for what has happened begins in and with ourselves. We must set a seal upon our own lips, we must watch our actions—that none of the hatreds of the world we are fighting be permitted to devastate our own fair land of freedom. Not only abroad must we defend the defense less. Not only abroad must we suc cor the weak. Here as well as abroad must we shaikle injustice, greed and halted that peace may come again Do you know a fellow like Joe? Jor S my kid brother. We've always stuck together and I've Sort of watched out for him these last few years. Well, Joe s in Africa now. His wife yets her allotment from him, and i guess when that 5 taken out of his check he doesn’t have much left. Privates don’t get paid much you know, 1 figure this way Here 1 am, making more money than I ever did before. You bet I work for iti 1 work hard. But joe’s working bard too . . . and not just from 7 to 5, either. — We've been tairinff 10 per* cent out of my check every week foi Waj Bonds . . , they’re going to come in mighty handy when the Wax’a ovei, we hgure. But 1 got to thinking about Joe What’e he go»ng to have after the % Wzi? 4 So we talked it over, mj wife and 1. We think Joe should get a cut of the bigger money, too. So now I'm buy ing an extra bond every month—in Joe's name. Maybe you've got eomebody in the War, too if you have, couldn’t you squeeze out an extra bond now and then, for your "Joe”?

Threadbare Britons are planning to patch and darn the darns for an other year. Clothing rations are be ing cut again. It is anticipated that the new coupon allotment will be be tween 36 and 48 per person. This will not permit a very exten sive renewal of the wardrobe. For a man, it might mean a new suit, a pair of shoes, a shirt, two pairs of socks, two collars, and four handkerchiefs For a woman, one suit, a silk dress, a pair of shoes, and some 13 coupons Few Changes Made In Hunting Dates For Coming Season -$-— Begin 'Hunting Squirrels October 15; Other Seasons Fixed -« Wilmington Hunting and fishing regulations were revised and retabu lated and Statewide dates for the fall hunting seasons were set at a recent session of the board of directors of the State Department of Conserva tion and Development, which con vened for three days at Wrightsville Beach. Lay day hunting was established for all types of hunting in Pender County, tiie first county where lay day hunting has been sel for all types of hunting. This permits hunting only on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday during open season. State Dates Statewide hunting seasons, with the exception of certain counties, were established as follows: Bears, October 1 to January 1: Opossum and raccoon, minted with guns and dogs, October 15 to February 15: opossum, racoon, mink and muskrat, hunted by trapping, November 15 to February 15: rabbit quail and wild turkey, November 25 to February 10 The season is the same as last year, except where lay day hunting is in effect. Squirrel dates are October 15 to January 15- except, in certain West ern North Carolina counties, and ruffed grouse, November 15 to Janu ary 1. The board voted to recommend to | Governor Broughton Lhat a commit tee of scientists be appointed as an advisory committee to the Division of, Commerce and Industry to leand as sistance in helping bring about great er Industrial developments in the state. This would, it is hoped help i North Carolina keep abreast of scien- 1 tifie developments in industrial pro- 1 C6SS6S. In order to hear arguments from committees on both sides for fishing petitions presented to the directors, it was decided that the committee on commercial fisheries hold a public hearing in Morehead City on August 19. Among the petitions was a re quest of a change in the oyster sea son from September 15 through March 1C to October 1 through April l and to continue permission to take certain food fish in purse seines. The directors accepted an invitation to hold the next meeting in tire western part of the State. The date and place was not decided. to ^read over the year for lockings and underwear. But tlie Biitish have the satisfac tion of knowing that their sacrifice in clothing is making a substantial con tribution to victory. It is estimated that 500,000 tons of shipping space have been saved because of it and 500,000 workers released for essen tial war work. In two years of clothes rationing, it is figured that public expenditure on clothing has been cut down by $2, 400,000,000. This is sufficient to build 15 battleships, 50 cruisers, 130 destroyers and 8 aircraft carriers, ac cording to the British Board of Trade.

Harrison WHOLESALE COMPANY Telephone 226-1 Plymouth, N. C. Religious News , and Views By Rev. W. B. Daniels, Jr. Race Riots and the Church Race Riots In Detiiot" screams a newspaper headline and back of that headline is much more than the story of clashes between Whites and Ne groes. Tlte story behind the headline is related to what Herbert Agar calls the "Central moral problem of this war' and he adds that the war would not have happened "if we i all of us) had served more faithfully the ideas on which our civilization rests." These are Christian ideals and ideals that Ihe Church is called up on to proclaim anew and relate to the problems of life in a vital and real istic way. Not since the Civil War has the Negro's cause been of greater sig nificance than today. Partial recog nition has come to him in industry, in education, in government, and in other lines of endeavor. The Church, too, has long been interested in the Negro and has made progress, slowly, with him. Of the 13,000,000 Negroes in the United Statees, only 5 000.000 are reported as having af filiation of any kind. Therein lies the Church’s oppor tunity: we must develop the Church’s Negro congregations especially in rural sections; must build new and better church buildings: must better equip existing churches and must provide trained leadership. The next few years are strategic in relation to the whole future of the Negro race and the American scene. Race riots such as those which have accurred recently may well be avoid ed if the Church performs her task, a task which includes not alone evan gelistic. education, and social work with the Negro, but an intensified work with our white population as well. forth between Africa and Sicily right at this moment. Americans on the Eastern sea board. throttling their motors down to the minimum, may also find com pensation in their sacrifice in the knowledge that they, too, are mak ing a definite contribution to the new invasion thrust. Gasoline saved by \merican motorists everywhere, and particularly in the strictly rationed East, is even now feeding the motors of planes and tanks which are off on the first step to Berlin When rationing pays dividends like this, its hardships become almost a pleasure. Tlw PUBLIC Forum THE CHURCH Who woulU want to live in a com munity where there were no church es? Even property would loose its value, and life itself would seem unsafe, I don't think thre's any one in this whole state who would vote to close up the churches in their community. Tire church is like a power-house. It sends its light into all parts of the world, giving guidance to many a stranded soul. Furnishing ideals for | nobler and higher living, lifting bur dens off the minds and shoulders of multitudes, inspiring people with messages of love and life to be better citizens of the community, and also of the entire world.
