(One Day Nearer Victory)
"Let The Dimes March Still"
We noticed during' the week that a citizen
of New Jersey has siip-gesti'd that one of
the greatest tributes we Americans could
do to express our appreciation of President
Roosevelt would lie to forever commemorate
his birthday by emit intiing'; the eii. tom of
the annual Warm Sprin.es Foundation fund
raising. This great work to bring help and
aid and comfort to those unfortunate enough
to be stricken with this disease was very
close to his heart.
He suffered and conquered the disease
and set forever an example of the spirit
winning over physical pain which makes the
continuance of the fund raising tit an
appropriate expressi. .1 . f '!,. - ., cricm
people.
In this state and in our own community
we know the good that has been accom
plished through this fund, which has been
raised for those who are afflicted with this
dreaded disease.
We are told by authorities that while we
are conquering communicable diseases, that
organic diseases are for some unknown rea
son on the increase, and among the list t hat
is afflicting the youth and the old in larger
numbers is infantile paralysis. The con
tinuation, of this drive for funds to light
the inroads of the disease would serve two
worthy purposes, to commemorate the mem
ory of our great leader and to aid suffering
humanity.
Each Day
The sudden passing of President lloose
velt has brought very close to our hearts
the realization that life is of uncertain mag
niture and import. It is, really, a big busi
ness and should be handled in a business
like manner. As in all businesses, there
should be a certain amount of planning and
preparation but at night when the I 'ay
Book is put away, it should have its accounts
all balanced. There should be nothing left
over to find waiting the following day. All
those little hates, petty worries, trilling and
fancied wrongs should be thrown into the
waste basket at quitting time. They make
a far larger pile after a night's collection.
Keep the mental desk clear for action when
you sit before it, your mind active after a
" good night's sleep.
Clear the shelves each morning and put
upon them things that will be salabk if
you suddenly change ownership. A smile
that will be remembered, a word that w ill
wear a long time, a remark that has been
left with you and is so pleasing you feel
sure that it will decorate another hearer;
.some little kindly act that seems insigni
ficant to you may exactly fill a hurt place
in some one's heart.
And, remember, a word said in anger to
day cannot be apologized for tomorrow if
you are not there to apologize. It cannot
be brought back and exchanged.
From the first entry in your Day Rook
until it's closed at quitting, live that day
through and make t lie? accounts balance.
It is said that the grandson of the man
who waited patiently three days for the
coming of the stage coach grows impatient
if he misses one section of the revolving
door. We have seen or rather heard a
motorist who watched the red light change
to the green and as the change wi s taking
, place honked his horn as if it is absolutely
; necessary for him to get to some place im
mediately. In most cases the horn honker
who is in such a hurry to get somewhere is
not much when he arrives. Charity and
' Children.
Welcome
While it is with regret that it was learned
that James A. G. Davey had sold out his
holdings in this county and will in the future
make his home in another section where the
lower altitude is necessary for his health,
we are glad to note that his property will
still be held by a company in which he is
interested, and that his brother will direct
the development.
James A. (!. Davey, who has been around
the world a number of times was looking for
a permanent place to locate a few year -, ago.
He traveled far and wide before making a
selection, and it was not by chance that In
located and bought property in this area.
Comparing it wit!) other areas, he felt that
it had more to offer from natural "beauty
and climate than any section he could find
after his long search.
We were gratified to learn that The Davey
Tree Expert Company, now owners, have
come to stay and are interested in perman
ently keeping their property which in time
they plan to further develop.
Scouting And The Service
First Lt. Hen Colkitt', U. S. Naval Ait
Corps, recently received at his post out in
the Pacific the copy of The Waynesvillc
Mountaineer that carried the question in the
"Voice of the People" regarding the benefits
of Hoy Scouting to the potential man in
service.
This would naturally be a suojeel of in
terest to Ft. Colkitt, who raled high in
Scouting in his high school days here, as
he attained the coveted rank of Fugle Scout,
and was later a leader in the older group.
In his branch of the service he is ret tine
first hand experience in living next to nature.
Out in the Pacific post he is recalling his
Scouting days, and what the nature program
could mean in later life, if taught to its
fullest in Hoy Scouting.
In his letter Lt. Colkitt points out that
in looking back he feels that nature studies
should be emphasized even more in tin
Scout training program.
Right Kind of Talk
Naturally there will be many (lillereiie.'s
uf opinion in the framing of a peace pact and
then' is every reason why no lid should be
pla'.'d on discussion before the San Fran
cisco meeting. Wise action waits upon the
clash of minds and the examination of pro
posals. It would be the antithesis of demo
cracy if people did not debate and give coun
sel. "In a multitude of counsel," so we are
told upon high authority, "there is wisdom."
The League of Nations was not perfect but
W'oodrow Wilson saw to it that means were
provided whereby it could be perfected as
time demonstrated the need. This time we
will avoid some of the mistakes alter the
last war but we need not expect perfection
at the hands of human beings, particularly
when Roosevelt. Stalin, and Churchill repre
sent countries which, while united to defeat
the Nazis, have different constituencies
which must be regarded. Some concessions
will have to be made to reach the goal.
Senator Tom Connally. chairman of the
Foreign Affairs Committee, declares that
the San Francisco Conference "will be a suc
cess." The problems will be solved ill I lie
light of the need of continued unity to win
lasting peace after winning the war. Sen
ator Connelly is one of the few men who
will fashion the peace who was in public life
when the League of Nations was sabotaged.
And he understands that this bloody war
is the result of putting more emphasis on
unimportant reservations 4han upon the at
tainment of lasting peace.
The San Francisco Conference must "be
a success' or civilization will fail. Let us
all join the Texas Senator in the faith that
"it will be a success" and contribute to that
consummation devoutly to be wished. Ral
eigh News and Observer.
They Deserved It
We are glad to see that letter carriers
and other postoffice employes are to receive
increase in pay. It is their first since Febru
ary, 1!)2.. During the depressions they had
to take a pay cut of 27 per cent. This was
restored in 1935.
On May 1, 1943, a temporary annual bonus
of $300 was awarded them which was cut
in half almost immediately by the withhold
ing tax. The legislation providing for this
bonus expires next June 30. So now the
passage of the Purge reclassification bill
would grant $100 permanent increase and
upgrading of salaries that start at $1,700
a year and reach $3,000 after twenty-six
years of service.
It should be agreeable to the public that
they have this raise after twenty years, the
more so that they may not strike for better
wages but must depend on public sympathy
and support for what should be coming to
them.

WHEN MOSES died, the Lord
appointed Joshua to -succeed him.
He was a warrior and statesman.
The Lord told him to cross over
Jordan and tako possession of the
land He had promised them.
Joshua first sent two men
across to the. city of Jericho to
spy out the situation. These were
befriended by a woman named
Rahab, who hid them when they
might have been captured, and
helped them to escape back to
their people. They learned that
the fame of their' people had
spread and the people of Jericho
were afraid of them.
The crossing- of the river was
mado with ceremony and the
walls of Jericho "came tumbling
down" at the sound of the trum
pets and shouts of the Israelites.
They were not always victorious,
however. When Achan sinned
they were defeated, but when they
hail punished him. they conquered.
In Joshua 9-11,' Judges I, -we
have the account of the Gibconites'
deceit and submission to the Israel
ites, then the great tattle of Gt
beon, with Joshua making the sun
and moon to stand still, and the
extermination of the Canaanitcs
and slaughter of the five kings.
Horses and chariots were men
tioned for "the first time in this
account
Slaughter
The slaughter of the inhabitants
in Palestine was an important part
of tho Israelitish history, and had
an enormous effect on their later
history. Then came the settlemeni
of the tribes of Israel tn the land
allotted to them. The tribes of
Reuben and Gad and the half tribe
of Manasseh were settled, and the
tribe of Judah was placed at the
head of the list of the remaining
tribes.
Judah was the tribe from
which King David came, and later
Christ. The Leites were not given
a separate portion of Palestine,
but were assigned to four cities
in each of the 12 tribes. In Chapter
14 Is also told the story of Caleb,
who, 85 years old at the time, tes
tified that he had always done the
will of God1 and should be allowed
to conquer the hill of Hebron. He
