Glermany threatens England with a blitzkreig which will annihilate the people and utterly destroy the power of the British Isles. In a statement to the press on Mond^ he said that Roosevelt would share the responsi- feilily for the destruction of England alorig with the British leaders. • In the eyes of Hitler and the Ger man people Germany has never been wrong in anything she did no matter what the cost to the rest of the world. Because Germany wanted to show her military might and overrun the rest of Europe the blame must fall, not on Germany, but on anyone who would resist or criticize eittier the actions or the methods which Ger many took. Does MIGHT always make RIGHT? If we here i®America have the right concept of Wraat decency and honor mean then Hitler caimot have any vestige of right on his side. We have now, and have had for many years, the greatest potential might in the world. We could have built up an army and navy with whicl^ we could have conquer^ a large part of the world. We have the industrial and financial ability far more than any other nation to impose ourselves over the rest of the world. Why, then, are we not the ones who are assuming world conquest? ^ It is because of the inherent love of liberty which we have. It was upon this love of liberty that our nation was foimded. It was this urge that drove men from their homes in the old world to seek freedom in the new. It was their love for the free dom that they had found that gave theja courage to follow Washington through Valley Forge and Brandy wine until they achieved the FREE DOM for which they fought. Be muse of the value that we place ypon our freedom we realize that others also are entitled to enjoy their full measure of freedom. Their na tions have our respect, and consid eration of thhir ri^ts and freedom. Our policy is and has been to coop erate with the other nations of the world to the end that they might mjoy the same freedom that we have. It has been friendship rather than imperialiEm. It is therefore quite natural for one so base and warped in his views to try to plade blame for his actions on others who are innocent. The order which he is trying to establish is so opposi^ to the principles of free dom on whidi the United States and other democratic nations are based that he f^Is that democracy must be erased from the earth before he is safe. The only crime of which the American people and their President are guilty is that of being true to our heritage of freedom as set forth in our democratic form of govern ment I Then let Hitler take notice that neither his inedherrent babblings of propaganda nor the thimder of his guns shall shake the faith of Ameri ca in her ideals and democracy.— GEORGE WEAVER. 'FromOur the POCKETBOOK o/ KMOWLEPCE POOLE’S MEDLEY By D. SCOTT POOLE If you pratice dishonesty, you will grow roguish. Telling lies habitually in jokes will make a consuroate liar of you, TeU the truth, and treat others as you would have them to treat you. Recently a townman had all his his teeth removed to preserve his health. A few days ago I asked him how he managed to eat, and he said: “Oh, eating is no trouble, getting the ration is the main thing.” all the time but you can’t fool all the people, all the time." Later we will know more than we do noW, if we think. We should always imder- stand all the so-called benefits be stowed upon us hy people who are helping us. A third term for Roosevelt is a contagion which sprang from long tenures in office in the lower brac kets of the goverment. Since the ladies have both religious and civil organizations, they have studied and now know parlimentary law; and some times I wonder if they can spread a mantle of charity over a men’s meeting in Raeford. I knew two boys once who began picking at each other, and at last turned their sport into a fight, and one was getting the best of the other, and the underdog in this fight would say to the one getting the better of it. “Stop, Bill stop I say, I tell you to stop, or I’ll punch your eyes out.” Reading Hitler’s threats remind me of that under boy. I personally knew a liquor seller to buy a man’s farm, who had gotten in debt to him for liquor he had drank. After the barkeeper had bought the farm, the man’s wife came to that hardhearted liquor seller, and with tears streaming down her cheeks, said: Please dd not sell John any li quor: That little money is all that stands between starvation for inyself and children. The liquor man said: “Madam, I am in business to make money. I owe John, and while he wants liquor, I will sell it to him.” This shows mat the liquor business is a money making business. WINDSOR’S NEW JOB. The more you think about it; the more you’re convinced that the ap pointment of the Duke of Windsor as (xovemor of the Bahamas is a good thing. There has been a lot of talk going the rounds for a long time concerning his private views on mat ters of international politics,-and not a few friends of the British Empire had begirnt to wonder if his political glands were functioning properly. These s^^psa speculatipns came in to print hot long ago when M. W. 'Eo^r, lone of the better-informed journalists, published a effect that the (Germans )fed a- Interne for putting Edward hack dn-t^ throne of a puppet British finpire, Wally as a, lull-fledg ed queen. Three days ago London an- nounced the Bah^a appointment. Governorship of those little islands off Fknida is ho great Shakes of a job, thouite it is a dignified and safe posi tion. In fact, it is the most minor job tiiat the British Goverment has hand- «A wt' to a member of the royal . ' femilg in many years.

Paul Dezerae and Mrs. Younger Snead entertained for her with bridge. This delightful affair was held at the home of Mrs. Snead. On Friday evening Miss Margaret Currie entertained her bridge club and their husbands and a number of friends at one of the most enjoyed meetings of this summer. Mrs. D. Newton and children of Faison are spending this week with relatives in Raeford. Mrs. Lawrence Poole and Mrs. Jul ian Johnson and Miss Agnes Mae Johnson returned from Montreat the latter part of last week. Enroute home they spent the day in Hickory with Mrs. George Fuller.

And that is true. We have many well educatec pagans in this -coimtry. . On a bookstore window was a sign: “Janitor wanted.” An Irishman de siring a job, entered, and on a nearby stack of books was a placard: “Dick ens works a week, $4.” “Alright,' said the Irishman, “let Dickens have the job at$4 a week—^I dont want it.” Mrs. G.

JOB PRINTING AT REASONABLE PRICES—JUST CALL 3521 AND WE’LL CALL— NEWS-JOURNAL An old lady in our neighborhood said-^he had sold a certain niunber of poimds of wool from her ^eep, and when asked how many sheep she had, she told, and her neighbor told her that was a very large “clip of wool from so few sheep.” and she said: “Oh, it would not have brought so much if I hadn’t salted it down in the smokehouse.” Every person in our country should be more intelligent than they are. “Attention is the stuff memory is made of.” The reason people are not more intelligent is due to careless ness. Think over every day’s work, thoughts and everything you have read. Go over all your lessons once iriore. The Federal goverment, the State goverment, well, all taxes are raised. There is more and more demands made upon the goverments, and taxes must supply the money. The oldtime comshucking was. an occasion 6f much injoyment. We hac large piles of corn, or small, accord ing to the size of the working force, and the kind of land cultivated. In the piles I helped shuck tere were from fifty to one thousand bushels. We had big suppers, and lots of fun. “If everybody did as you do, keep their seats xmtil everybody elre had gone, out, there would not be such jam in the door,” said a wise old lady. Teacher: “Johnnie, what is the lar gest rive in Egypt?” “The Nile,” said Johnnie. Teacher: “What are the prin cipal tributaries?” Johnnie: “The Ju- viniles.” Corn sold for $3 per bushel in 1865, and bacon from 25 to 40 cents a pound. Cotton was $1 a .pound when the Civil War closed. It sold for 50 cents per pound in the fall of 1865. Those farmers who grew a few bales were placed on , “easy street.” Any one- horse farmer could have grown a bale, but most of theim in oiu: section grew just a smaU “patch” for their owm use, and so where cotton is planted today, it is a “patch.” V The Democrats nominated Horace Greely for President in 1868, because lie saved Southern leaders from the gallows, there is no doubt, but he got very little support in the South. Greely took Lincoln’s view: “The War is over—the Union is saved.” Greely was editor of The New York Hearld, and Thed Stevens of Pennsylvania was the leader of the Northern ex- A well-to-do man in a certain com munity died, and many were curious to know what his estate amounted to, so a certain man asked the lawyer, who wrote his will, “what he left.” ‘He left everything,” said the lawyer. But com fell in price in the fall of 1865, but sold for $1 abushel since, ex cept in the fall of the year, it sold for from 50 to 75c a bushel. This country for less than a dollar a bushel since 1930. There came a man about sixty, I would guess, one fall, and he began to contract in ditching at once. He was a marvelously big eater. At com shuckings he would sit at the table and eat while at least three table- fulls were served. He would say: “You fellows go on back to shucking, I am not bashful, I mean to eat enough.” That man ate as much as three healthy men usually eat. He was healthy and strong, worked hard, but finally got down with rheiuna- tism, and he revealed his identity, ^e had married a young woman in upper Richmond county; th^ had two children, and after his health failed he asked to be carried back to Ash county. The neighbors furn ished transportation, and when they arrived there, there was his faihily, a wife and several sons, old men. He was guilty of murder, but ^ was never able to be tried. “You can fool all the people part of the time, and part of the people Fascists, beging entertain^ at inti mate lunches with prominent people suspected of Nazi sympathies.
