- The Oxford Orphanage for three-
, quarters of a century has special
ized In every phase of properly rear
ing orphaned children. Its contri
bution of more than 6,000 well
equipped and worthy young men
and women to good citizenship is
v a living testimonial to the import-
- ance and usefulness of the institu
tion whose sole object is. to serve.
The Grand Lodge of Masons owns
and operates the Oxford Orphan
age, but has never restricted Us
services to the children of Masons.
. Eighty percent of the children in
- the institution ore of non-Masonic
parentage. At Oxford the question
of parentage, yields to the need of
the child. That is the decisive ar
gument. -".' C"'
.The need of Orphanages today
for greater support is pressing.
They must have more money or
else. You know what that means.
Superintendent Gray is forced
by circumstances to stress increas
ed . donations this Thanksgiving.
t The expense of operating the Ox
ford Orphanage has been growing
every neay and now is at a peak.
When one thinks o(Jhe multipli
city of service the institution has
to perform, it is enough to open
the hearts and purses of benevo
lent men and women.
There is no economy in neglect.
When we do not pay from the
heart, often we have to pay thru
-the .nose. Juvenile delinquency is
an acute problem of the times. Its
. prevalence is deplorable. The Or-
.. phanage helps materially ..in the
- solution by rearing and training
children who otherwise would not
have a chance. If it did no more
than this, the Orphanage would
Justify its existence. As a tax-payer
and public spirited citizen you are
vitally interested in it; y-.Wr.'.X"'

to get yur information "from the

EDITORIAL
The history of the Democratic Partv is the
history of our growth, our development, our pro
gressiveness and our world leadership. The people
have retained this heritage. Again we will move
forward.
The people of the country showed Tuesday
that we do not believe in the principles of the Re
publican PaVty.
The election, a democratic landslide, clearly
indicates that we must have an executive and a
legislative department that must work together.
The Democrats, nation-wide, really had no
hope of winning. Harry S. Truman rolled up his
sleeves, aided by Alben W. Barcley, went out al
most single handed, and elected a Democratic
Congress, Senate and Qovernors, throughout the
nation.
"The figures in Duplin reveal that we are true
to the prophesy of our fathers.

I THINK
By. TORQUEMADA
I THINK that now that the elect
ion is over and the people have
spokn in so emphatic a voice it is
time for all of us to erase fiom
our minds all oittcrness, all dis
sension and get solidly behind the .
MAN win) 1 i:is emergen as the un-niistal-ablc
head of the Democratic
Party in his own right. Harry S.
Truman, the MAN, has won for the
Democratic Party, perhap3, its
Si ealest victory in the history of '
tiie nation and won it almost alone.
Few people thought that he had a
chance and no one would have bet
a plugged nickel that the Republi
cans would lose the House of Rep
resentatives. But, by his willing
ness' to speak openly and clearly on
the issues involved, his fixed de
termination to win, by his willing
ness to fight and keep on flght-ng,
with head bloody butvnbowed, won
for himself and his party a great
victory.
1 THINK that Mr. Thurmond and
his DixiecraU. Mr. Wallace and hj
Wallaciles, if they are men worthy
cf aspiring to the Presidency of the
United Stat?s, should make a pil
grimage to Washington and with
heads uncovered, their shoes r
n.oved - so as not to defile his
house and with humility in their
hearts stand before Mi.. Truman
and assure him of their support for
the next four years.
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!
Do you hear the resounding thun
der of their voices Mr. Thurmond
and Mr. Wallace?
. Most farmers mortgage troubles
grow out of buying a farm at too
high a price and t'-en t" ' " H
