It is reasonable to suppose that the same false impressions ^prevailing here exists alj over North Carolina and throughout the country at large on this point. Although numerous statements have been published during the pres ent New-spapers’ scrap metal cam paign to reassure the public mind on this score; the gossip seems to persist and, in the interest of this critical cause, should, once and for all, be cleared up. First of all, whatever the licensed firnis handling this collected scrap make out of their transactions, THE GOVERNMENT APPROVES. THE NEWS-N. t. evil ways. And the average American boy is decent in behavior—^naturally. Stan ley High, in ad article in the Ameri can Magazine, reports soldier attend, ance at army religious services in Southern camps averaging 85 or 90 per cent and the demand for Bibles growing. The Navy Chief of Chap lains says, “Never before in the mem ory of our oldest officers has there been such interest in religions throughout the Navy as there is to day.” Many of the men in the armed forces were Boy Scouts. Their 'l^oops met in churdi basements and parish houses, and they attended Sunday school. They cgme from American homes where the worship of Ck>d, love of country* respect for authority, the honoring of democmtie principles and contempt for dishonesty, immo rality, cruelty and oppression were inherent to their upbrin^ng. They are not being taught to shoot, bomb and bayonet out of personal hatred or revenge, but out of love for what is right and a determination that it shall prevail. When they come back, America’s soldiers and sailors will be changed mentally only for the bet ter in most cases. 'Their foundation being sure, they will not return spirit ually disillusion or morally weak ened, but rather strengthened and purified, as gold which passes through a refiner’s fire.—The Christian Sci ence Monitor. POOLE'S By D. SCOTT POOLE A paragraph in this column about the cost of making a newspaper may be misleading. It should have stated: About 1,000 copies of an average weekly county paper is about all a publisher, can expect to receive pay for. People outside the county have papers of their o,wn to support, so I would estinvate a circulation of 1,000 about an average. The subscriptions must all be paid, and there must be a liberal advertising patronaging, to make the business self-sustaining. It would have cost the publisher all of $4,000 a year to have made a news paper like The News-JounuA 12 years ago. It would cost $1,0000 now. I mean I had collect that much before I ate a mouthful from the business. WIe mu^ win it this time. A world, from, shore to shore, where peace and happiness is the lot of every human biSihg. We must have a world where equal rights to all and 'special privi lege to none is known. We must have it this time—be satisfied with nothing less. The world was thrown off balance nearly a century ago, when robbery in the form of law was permitted, and has since been tol erated in the fal^ cocoon: America for Am'ericans. "Ihis enriched some at the cost of impoverishing others. Uncollected accounts are valueless, 1 find, I have over $60,000 uncol lected accounts. I worked into the night to charge. An editor must praise everybody he knows. If he is fool enough to speak plainly he is likely to get his block knocked off. FRIENDLY “ENEMIES” Atty. Gen. Biddle’s announcement that some 600,000 Italians in the Unit ed States are to enjoy freedom from many restrictions imposed on enemy aliens can be gratefully received by the persons directly affected, by American citizens of all origins and by Italians who suffer plenty of re strictions in Mussoliniland. To the no-so-enemy aliens whose sons .Giaccomo, Guiseppe, Antonio, are citizens and even soldiers of the U. S. A., the Biddle statement re moves a sti^a that most of them did not deserve to bear. Perhaps they will appreciate this fact more than the physical convenience now to be permitted them. They can take pride in the record of behavior which shows that of their only one-twentieth of one per cent have been found dangerous to the cause of freedom. American citizens can find re newed inspiration in the fact that these people—drawn by ties of natural affection for their homeland, often the target of fascistic propa ganda and the more susceptible to it because its rise has been identified with a psuedo-ascendancy for Italj'— A, ceiling has been set over what the junk dealer can charge for this | yg^. remained conscious of the material. He operates strictly on a blessings that are synonymous with price-controlled basis. And The News-Journal has the au thority of the North Carolina Sal- vage-for-Victory Committee, for “av erage figures” applying in these transactions. America. The late G. B. Patterson of Maxton always subscribed for and paid me for The Hoke County Journal the 23 years I made a paper here in Rae ford. He owed me a year’s subscrip tion to the paper when he died and his brother-administrator, Daniel Pat terson (now deceas^) sent me a check for $1.50, the only subscription I ever received from a man after his death. We each pattern the life we live. And as we start, so we go, I hauled up six crops of corp one faU in the early ’70’s. I had a good time. These were small, one-horse crops. The folks had made them in one way and another, but they had no wagon and team. A man plowed for father at 40 cents a day and has eats. He went home Saturday afternoon carrying a $1 bushel of corn which he had ground en route home. He also carried a little piece of meat. It was either that 40 cents or nothing. Father divided his living with that man. He could plow better than he could do anything else, and we could do all our work without him. He got the work because he had a wife and four children and nothing to live on. Every fall thosa children lived with us, picking cotton and peas. Parity on cotton is at this time is a sample of the misleading phos phorescent financial lights leading minds astray from human justice. In establishing, or rather locating parity, onyl the top stratum of the subject has been taken into consideration. (I define parity as a barometer of val ues.) The cost of production in this instance has been overlooked. It is having the effect injustice usually produces on true .patriotic people— benumbs theri ardeiit, patriotic spir its. However, the world will see the unknown to many, the Democratic spirit Americanism only' possesses, and our citizens will be found making apologies for any mistake humanity is liable to make. This will doubtless be seen, understood and corrected. We can all have a hand in this struggle to Mve for the world this “great experiment” in human liberty, discovered arid put into a written doc ument known as the Constitution of the United States. United States means a declaraion of humaa rights —its name declares “multi in parvo,” which means one in many is to be protected by all. It is the only safe human government, the only form which secures each and all without discrimination or favoritism — the most ideal government. Pnee Ceiling fore^ Pool and Bowlii^ Washington, Odt.

However, they had cows that gave plenty of milk and butter, and sheep and hogs for meat,-and by long drives and shifting one way and another they got bread in 1865, and by 1866 they had bread and meat of their o'wn, that is, the average farfner. Much as has been said about high taxes, I do not believe any of them in our section paid one-tenth as much as they do now. And everybody worked.
