Teach us, we pray, To move slowly in our Opinions of others. By Passing too quickly, we miss Many of their good qualities. We see only the imperfections And do not take time To look below the surface For the finer grain of the wood Teach us. too, the way to Walk carefully so that we May not tread upon the heels Of those who are forced, By circumstances, to go at A slower gait than we are Traveling. Sometime we May find it necessary to Stop for breath, and we Will need this same Consideration from others. Teach us, wc beg. the creed Of humanity. The belief that All men are created equal And that their status is Balanced on the scales of Fate; a measuring machine That, but for the kind hand Of Providence, might put Our weight on the losing side.. Teach us, we entreat, To let our line of vision Come from the same stature As that of our companion. So that our mental eyes will See the sil nation from the Same perspective as he did. Teach us. we beseerh. to be Compassionate. Show us How to minister soothing Ointment to wounded hearts, And to tenderly dry tears With the soft kerchief of A smile. Teach us. Dear Lord.

Books with pages filled to the top line with salacious reading matter are grabbed off the shelves or even purchased while in the unwrapping stage, eagerly devoured as one would gobble down some delicious morsel and then passed on to an other equally carnivorously in clined reader. That would be perfectly all right if this were mixed up with books of a deeper, more serious view point; and books of a more or less laugh-provoking trend. We arc not in favor of following one line of perusal any more than we would suggest one would wear the same t style of dress or hat continuously. For instance, after one has fin ished reading one of the flaming type of novels, why not select such a one as "THE GAUNTLET" by James Street? A great many have done so for it is well up on the list of best sellers. And is also a Lit erary Guild selection for the month. We have just finished reading a most interesting article by James Street as to why he wrote "THE GAUNTLET." We have more than a passing interest in Mr. Street as he is now a neighbor, inasmuch as he has bought a home in Chapel Hill and will probably bring forth more of his popular novels from that source. Who knows? Perhaps in some future writing of his cre ation we will see ourselves as Mr. Street sees us. In his write-up. Mr. Street tells us that "THE GAUNTLET" is more or less autobiographical ... up to a certain point. He had been a Baptist preacher and knew, only too well, the vicissitudes, trials and temptations through which a new minister had to make his way. Then when he left the ministry, he took up newspaper work and from that graduated into free-lance writing. But the knowledge gained during his pastorate days lingered with him and he felt the urge to write a novel . . . and with a churcli ly influence. He says he cannot ex plain why the idea of religion per sisted in all of his plans for the anticipated book but when he was selected by the publishers to write a novel about a Protestant minister he accepted. It was with a mixture of elation, fear and doubt that he began his assignment, and his first results were not quite to his liking or expectations. They did not reach to the heights he wished them to and he looked about for a solution. It came to him, sud denly. Suppose he had remained in the ministry, how would he have accepted the challenge that life (and his idea of religion) had laid down to him? From that point he progressed rapidly on the novel and "THE GAUNTLET" was the result. It is a book that will creep deep down inside of one's consciousness without leaving a crowded feelin of over-indulgence. The refresh ing influence of hppc, courage and faith will linger long after the book has been regretfully laid asitle Somehow, one hates to find the page marked "The End." When asked if he intended writ ing a sequal to "THE GAUNTLET Mr. Street replied: "I have no such plans. Frankly, I'm still scared of Wingo. I can't quite trust him.'

It is a means of doing business, a way for the merchant to put his store in his customers' homes. In serving business, the Telephone Company accepts a great responsibility the obligation to meet every need of the business man who depends on the telephone. With the Company as with the corner drug store earnings are vital to continued success. And because the telephone has become a part of every day life, telephone earnings are a subject of im portance to all. In 1945, telephone earnings were the lowest in the past 23 years. For 1946, the outlook is for even lower earnings. In keeping with the general trend throughout the country, wages have recently been increased. The cost of everything else going into the furnishing of telephone service is also climbing. Adequate earnings are a basic necessity to the American way of life. Earnings must be sufficient to enable industry to maintain high standards of service and to attract capital for expansion. As for the Telephone Company, they are indispensable if the full usefulness of the telephone in carrying on the business of the community is to be safeguarded.

Our mis sion is to obtain good gov ernment, free of all taint of scandal or corruption. The Situation and Possible Lines of Action: Considerations a f f e c tin g the possible lines of action. We must plan our attack on the present political ring who are strongly "dug in" in the County Court House. As we all know, it is harder to light a foe who is well "dug in" than one who is in the open and on the run. The fact that a man is in office, places him in a strong position for remain ing there. Against this formidable en emy we have the strength of good cause and a back ground of .sacrifice and faithful service to our coun try in her hour of need. We have fought for the rights and privileges of Americans and we have to fight for the rights and privileges of Americans and wc have to fight for them again here at home. This our friends and neighbors know and will grant us a fair hearing. Voles arc what count and in addition to our own wc can look to those of the honest people around us. Plan: We have only one to organize all veterans and citizens desiring good gov ernment into one group and fight a fair and honest bat tle for the good cause. Let us lay our cards on the table, say just what we want and what we don't like about the way things have been going on while we were away; pick the best possible c a n d i d a t e s and b a c k t h e m with every weapon at our disposal. Surely we do not lack in ammunition. To accomplish this, let us have our full say in the newspapers. Local papers will give a forum and al though we lack funds to ad vertise as widely as our op ponents, who can deny that our cause deserves a fair in vestment? In addition let us go to the Churches, (always strong for honesty and de cency), to the civic clubs, to any and every group who arc for the good of Hay wood county. We have earned our right to have our say, and let us say it! As in dividuals let us talk to our friends and neighbors and when the hour for voting comes let us urge them to vote. Already the Veteran's movement has started, how ever, feeling that all Veter ans, wherever they may live, are vitally concerned, a series of Township Meet ings; of which the one to night at eight in the Bethel High School Auditorium is the first, will be held. All citizens interested in good government should attend. Haywood Veterans Assoc n. (Paid Advertisement)
