Her waters and her soil have nourished me, her air I have breath ed, her trees and her hills have shel tered and inspired me. I am one with her; her grasses and her minerals are flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone; and the sweet keepflesh of my ancestors has nour ished her, and the blood of my an cestors, fighting to keep her free, has watered her broad acres. I am all hers and she is all mine. Her flag is my flag; in it is not just what I see, but what I am; when I look at her flag I see only bunting and colors; but when I look into her flag I see wonderful things. I see the breath of her, from the spume rising where rollers of the Atlantic sweep into the rocks of Maine to the Yucca Bells ringing vespers on the hills hanging over San Diago. I see the height of her, white spires rising through New England elms, and a pueblo thrcnej on a red rock mesa in New Mexico, and the clouded summits of Shasta and of Washington. I see the depth of her, the carved chasms of the rrots of the skyscrap ers of Manhattan, and the root cellar under the sod shacks on the prairies of Dakota, and the sweating rock a mile down in the Argonaut Mine at Jackson. I see the blue waters cf Pend Oreille, and the brown waters of the Missouri at St. Charles, and the white waters of Yosemite, and the red writer-! of the Tennessee, and the green waters of the Potomac; and all that they bring to the land, and to the people; and all that they take away. Waking, I hear the birdscngs in Wisconsin elms, and drifting off to sleep I hear the longtailed chat whistling at the moon above the black deeps of Tahoe, and the sea mew piping the sun down beyond the Golden Gate. I see the age of her, too; the Dino saur tracks in the stone in the pris on yard at Carson City, the ferns imbedded in coal in the rich black heart of Pennsylvania, the ring up on ring storying splendor in the red woods in the Trinity Forest; and, more recently, the traces of the In dians at Canandaigua and El Reno; the westward wheel tracks of the 49ers, and the beacons of the sk paths of the airliners. All these I see when I look into the flag, and in it. too, I see the men and women, my kind cf men and women; their roots deep in old cul tures by which they won their way to the light, and their heads high as they stand up and face the light and know that it is good.

I see the pageant cf America's vec ple, led by the lord'y and ci lor-f'.-l ir.e. but mostly Jr?e and Mary and Tom and Harry and Beth, the ones the papers don't write about, the ones that never are told about in the Histories, because they just live and work and give their hearts' warmth to keep America alive. I see the starry lew, Abe of Spring Held and Tom Jezerson and Teddy and Steve Decatur, the dueling man, and old Andy Jackson, puckery and fresh to the taste as a mountain plum, and Henry Thoreau bringing the word into the cenflnes of Wal den Pond. I see these people and these things as a part of the flag and of the land, as I am a part of the flag and of the land; and I see the land and the flag as part of them, as the flag and land are a part of me. I see America and I hear America, I hear the music of America. I hear the winds and clouds mak ing a great harp of the heart, and I hear the melody of America played on that harp. The mountains bow and the hills leap at the melody which no words can tell. I hear America in song and the song is good, the voices of the wa- teis and the winds and the riveting machines and the saws, the voices of the men and women singing, the men singing the good spirits in their hearts after their work, and the wo men singing to their children while they put them to sleep. I hear America in sng and the song is good; I see America in the light and the light is good. I touch America, the warm, rich soil of America, and the red soil, and the sandy soil, and the loamy soil; and the soil is good. THIS IS MY AMERICA, and these are my people and these are my heartstrings on which the song is played; they are mine and I am theirs. Copyricht by Washington Post, 1943. Editor's Xote.

To His Honor Leo Carr, Judge presiding. We beg to submit the following report: We have examined 9 bills and found 8 true bills and one not a true bill. The reports of all Justice of the Peace and Mayor of the Town of Raeford were found to be in order. All reports of Administrators, ex ecutors and guardians were found to be in good order or in process of com pletions with the exception of the Mary J. Baker Estate, in which the executor had not filed receipts for sale of personal property and this ex ecutor appeared before the Grand Jury and stated that he would im mediately file receipts and file his final report by August term of Court. A Committee of the Grand Jury visited the N. C. Sanatorium,, located at Sanatorium, N. C. in this county. This committee reports that every thing was in good condition and wish to commend the authorities on the splendid job they are doing un der difficult conditions. The County Jail was inspected and found to be in good condition with the exception of matress cov ers and the lights. We recommend that removable matress covers be provided for matresses and that they be laundred often as necessary to keep them in sanitary condition. Minor repairs are needed on light ing system and we urged that this be completed as soon as possible. Repairs recommended at last term of court have been completed. The Courthouse was inspected and found to be in good condition with the exception of some of the ventila tors in Court Room which need re pairing and should be done as soon as possible. The Town of Raeford Jail was in spected and found to be poorly kept and we recommend that it be thor oughly cleaned and kept in a more sanitary condition. The County Office Building was inspected and found to be in a fair condition with the exception of the roof, which needs covering as evi dent of the many leaks that were found. It was noted that additional office space was badly needed for the A. A. A. and the War Board of fices and we recommend that addi- Operation - Ay- KAEFORD. N. C You Lend Your Money" Comlj Kf F.i.ufM tional space be provided as early as possible. It was also noted that the janitor service was poor and we ask that this condition be improved. The latest audit of the County was examined and the County Audi tor appeared before the Grand Jury and presented a summary of the County finances as of this date which showed that the County fi nances were in sound condition. We wish to commend the Board of Com missioners for the good management of the county affairs. We recommend that the abandon ed car on the Jail lot and the guns in front of the Armory be sold for junk and that the proceeds be turned over to the Red Cross. Recognizing the acute shortage of manpower in the Nation, and in this county in particular, which is pre dominately an agricultural county; and realizing that this is a time for every able bodied man to have a job. We request the full coopera tion of the Officials of the Town of Raeford, and the law enforcement officers of the County to see that the Vagrancy Laws of the State are ful ly complied with and enforced. We further request all loyal citizens of Hoke County who know of any abled bodied men who are now loaf ing or who do not have regular jobs to turn the names of such persons into the Sheriff's Office for proper action. If his Honor, Leo Carr, Judge Presiding sees fit to give further in structions or recommendations along this line, we the Grand Jury of Hoke County will greatly appreciate it, as well as all other patriotic citizens of the County. Respectfully submitted, J. M. McGougan, Foreman W. D. Brown, Clerk. Literary Clnb Meets, The Literary Club held its April meeting at the home of Mrs. Marcus Smith with Mrs. I. H.
