Patriotism of People Greatly Exemplified The position which Cherryv'ille township occupies within the hounds of Gaston county, is no longer in question on the part ol' the county, state or nation, to those who have looked over its contribution to our Governments expectation in the matter'of dol lars and cents. The Government of course placed its quota on the entire ounty, hut the county little thought Cherryv'ille Town ship would pass the quarter million dollar mark. Hut, when Chairman E. -V. Moss passed the word along through his report of the actual amount raised for the purchase of second war-loan financing, people of the vicinity were surprised at their own dis play of loyalty and support/Qf and to our hoys in service, and the government as a whole. The complete report turned in by Mr. Moss, reveals the fact that a total of $058,050.00 was reach ed by our local township. A state ment that brings the Cherryv'ille township section in for honor able mention along with the rich er communities of Gaston county, on a porc;i*>ta basis. In conversation with an Eagle ^ liter, chairman Moss said: ' .dom, in the life of natural ' i does it fall his lot and good .i tune to find himself surround ed by such people as those in the ( liei i yville township. Their faith m our country, their love and devotion to our hoys in service and an immeasurable degree of patriotic and civic pride, marks tl is second war loan drive as one of the happiest events of my lite,” he said. “The association with the people,” he continued, "in a movement so vastly essential as was the need for the world's single transaction in actual dol lars and cents, has - brought to a new vision and a deeper appre ciation for the people of ( heiry villo township." Chairman Moss explained that no high-pressure sale methods were used, explaining that all purchases were voluntarly made by individuals, business and in dustry out of share response to. their nation’s call for help for victory.

(AN EDITORIAL) MOTHER IS MOTHER INDEED ON THIS MOTHER'S DAY Looking l ack on t ther Mothers' I>:i\ oceassimis, none is more fittingly reiucti b. red than Sunday. May S*t li will prove to be. Never, perhaps befoie lias the cord ot separation bound mother and son so close together. . . yet so tar apart as oil this occassion <d' Mother’s Day. This year, all Arne ica should enshroud out .American moth ers with love, dev'otion and pride. Never, before, hits the worth of mothers' been so conspit ioinsly piac- d it, the lime-light of world :itrail's, as they ate today. Never have motliel s pray ers. been so inviting' Never before has the aggregate of nndli erhodrl been called upon for so much. Never ..have mothers given more than since December Tth, ol last year * Never has mother been quite so dear, more revered or in greater ptaise by a son . . . than, today Never have motifcis companionship meant more to husbands . . . than since that moment when, out of Iter embrace he saw his son leave for the front. Never before have mothers played such a role in the tlelense of our freedom, otr country and our future. Truly. Sunday, May Util, is a lilting Mothers Day occassion. For. hack of every soldier, on land, on sen or in the air ... is a nlollter and. living or dead, she is still Ids mot hot.

Al ways serving, always loving, ever sacrificing; always giving . always paying. Ihnvn thru the pathway mother's trod, comes story oi an angel and God. The story tell , that once upon a time an angel vva*. rent to earth to harvest the* most appealing things of earth. On this trip it seems that the angel paused to look upon the beauty of a flower garden. Here the spirit caught their fragrance . . then said: “surely, such beauty, such fragrance and such Harmless little things, belong to God. Gathering an arnii'ui of flowers, the Angel went on its way. Presently it came to Hu* crossroads and there* encountered two wonderful friends. Listening, tile thought that such friend ships, such devotion and lies of brotherly love, surely must be a cherished gilt to heaven and gatheiing these* friendships in her arms, she* continued lie*i course. Tly,*n came sunset and the sound ot a lullaby . , . the* end of another day. There the* angel listened and fell under the* spell of a mot news sweet. words of her lullabye* song. This, said the angel is heaven, * he real music of God and 1 must take.it to the* tat her. V it1 her three most cherished earthly treasures, the angel wended it s way hack to heaven and, upon entering the gates of 'lie (hies tial City, it stopped to inspect its harvest Then it was the* angel learned that its harvest of flowers had willieted and died, the friendship.* broken and gone, and the* only Hongs upon the face of tin* earth, able to find its way home to God . . . was a mothers love* for her babe. Truly, this is mother . . . my mother . . . your mother . all mothers and on this mothers day let' us offer to each of them, the fulness id' our devotion, care* and attention, for this is MOTHERS DAY.
