(CtrlPr$$) Wet Paint Still Attracts People During the many weeks that were required to remodel the Belk Hudson store, no one was injured in the least. .Although customers walked under scaffolding, and over loose flooring at times, everyone kept their head and were cautious, About the worst thing that came out of the entire period of remod eling, were those folks who doubt ed the truthfulness of a "wet paint" sign, Mr. Jennngs said.

It's in too much of a minority seven or eight millions versus Brazil's 80 or 40 millions. Up the coast, to the northward, there are a few more milTiAna Ktif Tint Annriffli t a nnnt materiafly. We think of all these countries as western hemispherical. They are, geographically, but they enter into the wartime dope, globularly speak ing. And some of 'em sideswipe west ern Africa. It isn't a merely international muss, naturally; it's inter-globular. To think of it as inter-American is just to localize it.

Palmer, prominent Haywood county farmer and dairy man, has been named a director of the Farmers Federation to fill vol the unexpired term of Robert T Boyd, whose death occurred on November 6th. A half truth can become a whole lie. r Over-Optimism Latest Problem For Washington By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist WASHINGTON The sudden ness of the war tide's change from a decidedly pro-Axis direction into one somewhat in the democracies' favor has muddled official Wash ington considerably. It isn't that officialdom is other wise than gratified but it finds it difficult to readjust itself on such short notice. It went to bed one night recently trying to think up broadcasts calculated to discount public discouragement and awoke the next morning to tackle the job of staving off popular over-opti mism, The administration obviously seeks to give the impression that it picked its-time for launching our northwesterly African invasion well in advance of the actual be ginning of the offensive and sprung it precisely at the selected moment. I have my personal doubts of the accuracy of this version.: The administration folk knew, to a dateline, just when they had a congressional election coming on. Naturally they likewise knew to a certainty that if, as the November 3 polling places were in the very act of opening, the voters had been informed of our new African oper ations, they'd have registered an absolutely unprecedented victory. Instead the African performance though literally already in its in- cipiency, still was a secret, from the administration itself, I d guess, and the party got a kick in the slats that was a record-breaker. Military Decision Now, it's all very well to con tend that our administration is too high-minded to let a little matter like a Congressional majority figure in its reasonings relative to war strategy; only I'm betting that a trifling question of November 2, 8 or 4 wouldn't have influenced that African announcement, if Wash ington had had it available on elec tion eve. Instead, the disclosure would have been militarily advan tageous to us, from the legislative standpoint. No, our sea, aviation and poten tial land invasion commands clear ly discerned the democracies' pos sibilities of a huge gain against the axis by an instant swipe at the enemy and took a crack at it on their own responsibility. Right now beaten candidates at the last congressional election are complaining they they were licked because Uncle Sam was so slow in breaking into offensive belliger ency. And, at the very time that these speeches were being written, he was landing in northwestern Africa but the speeches' authors didn't know it. : . Administration spokesmen aren't afraid even yet badly enough in re verse to make a speedy democratic victory over the Axis a practical itv. They're not afraid that we won't win, but that we won't win fast enough. It's interesting to note that bur Latin American neighbors are lin ing up with us more and more sol idly. Argentina, as we know, has been a little balky, but northwest ern Africa is a closer associate of the Argentine Republic than we are. If we're going to dominate that "bulge" HH pay the Argen- tinos to get m cahoots with us. Along the South American east coast they speak of "Africano." They consider the white folk there as part of themselves which they are, indeed. Franco's Hold Onsecure And Spain: figures in it. Spanish Dictator Franco is to talitarian, but his country is prin cipally democratic, as I know from former residence there. He licked his democracy in a hard civil war. However, he doesn't hold it very vigorously. Herr Hitler himself has served notice that he doesn't intend to interfere there. It all mixes into Africa mate rially.
