Americans, anxious for the survival of popular government, should seek to render their country unselfish service. - Pitt County will do its part in the defense of the nation and the valor of our sons will not be surpassed. In a year *>r two, if the war brings us enough suffering, people will talk v of the -common good and mean it. Personally, we are ready to back the judgment of Roosevelt and Churchill as to the strategy of the present war. Lucidly for the human race, adults, who grow cynical, are replaced by youngsters with enthusiasm, hope, faith and love. The idea that the Japs are not prepared to risk .national existence in war with the English-speaking nations has disappeared. What has become of the moaning * prophets who were so certain, a few years ago, that the national debt would wreck this republic? Mental test: How long can you listen to the jadio without getting too much of the moronic messages of the abjective, advertising announcers. Joke: Have you heard the story about the little boy who was named George Washington? well, we might as well skip it, you've probably heard it. Where we made our mistake, before the war, was in not sending our isolationists to Germany, Italy and Japan—they might have converted the aggressors into isolationists. Ameiicanism: Congressmen, who voted against adequate appropriations for the Amy and Navy in 1939, now criticizing officers trying to fight a two-ocean war without adequate supplies. $693 PE.i PERSON Hie national income in 1941 amounted to $693 a person, according to estimates of government economists. The nation, as a whole, enjoyed an income of $92,000,000,000, which is not what one would call alfalfa. It was 116,200,000,000 above the 1940 income. * We have not studied the report but we are inclined to believe that, even if every person did not receive his or her $693, the national income was more equitably distributed than in any previous year in the history of this republic. UNITED NATIONS AT WAR It is related that President Roosevelt gave considerable thought to the term that should be applied to the nations engaged in the war against aggression and that, finally, he decided upon the "United Nations," which is strongly reminiscent of the "United States" which formed the American Government. . So far as we know,the first offi they are confident that, upon vital battle areas, they can exert superior forces. There is no logic whatever in any compromise peace between the nations now at war. The aggressors have set up a new standard of international conduct and assert the superior rights of their people as compared with other peoples. Neither Germany nor Japan has recognised the restraint of accepted morality because they do not give recognition to the divine personality of mankind. The preset struggle can end only in the death of the German and Japanese ideal, or the extinction of free peoples accustomed to liberty and the ways of democracy. The decision must be complete, final and everlasting. The winner, whichever side it may be, will dominate the world for hundreds of yean and impose upon the vanquished the victor's ideas of civilization, including economic, political and social organizations. COLONIAL STORES INC., SUGAR PLAN GETTS APPROVAL Conference I n Washington Brings Sanction From Department of Justice to Rationing "Systetm Norfolk, Va., Feb. 5.—The Colonial Stores, Inc., plan for the distribution, or rationing of sugar, has been approved by the Office of Price Administrator, following a consultation with the Department of Justice in Washington, announcement mas made today.

Should you get an air-raid warning, remember to shut off gas stoves, gas furnaces, and gas pilot lights on both. Bomb explosions may blow them out from blast effect. Gas that collects may be explosive later. Prepare one room, the nine with the least window glass, in the strongest part of your horise, tor a refuge room. Put food and drinking water in it. Put a sturdy table in it. Put mattresses and chairs in it. Take a magazine or two, and a deck at cards, into it. Take things like eyeglasses and dentures with you when you go into it. Take toilet facilities, paper, a screw. If you have a portable radio, take that too. Above all keep calm. Stay at home. Put out lights.
