HOKE HUSS The death of A. Hoke Huss last Thursday, removed One ol Cherryville’s leading citizens from our midst Mr Huss was one of the most prominent and best known business men ol the county. He camp to Cherryville from Lincoln county when just a young man and has been active- in the many busi ness activities and industries as well te the civic and religious life of Cherryville. He has seen Cherryville grow troni Un cross roads Mr. Huss has reared five sons and one .taughtei and »een them all through college and all started out in life as teachers in the public schools. Without »> doubt, this is one of the finest groups of children in the state of North Carolina. Mr. Huss greatly enjoyed his evenings up town and a night hardly ever passed he was not seen up street He will not be missed just by his family. He will be missed by a much wider scope as his humanitarianisms and jovial disposition carried him into other spheres in which his name will long be remembered by a sorrowing concourse of friends. DISTRESSING NEWS News that Mr. Carl Rudisill, of Cherryville, one of North I Carolina’s most highly esteemed and belov'ed citizens, has ] suffered a stroke which leaves him in a serious, if not critical, j condition, saddens the hearts of a multitude cf his friends, j acquaintances and admirers. As an outstanding industrialist, philanthropist, civic and ^ educational leader of North Carolina, he is widely acclaimed M for his vast contributions to the public good and to the uplift and betterment of his fellow citizens. The people of the state who know him and appreciate his generous and high minded services to the common welfare will join in wishing for him a speedy and complete recovery.—The Charlotte Observer SPEEDING VICTORY We doubt if there is any American in tins town, or in any other town in our nation, who ever entertains the thought that ^ we could conceivably lose the war to Germany or Japan. This confidence in our war leaders, in our soldiers and Bailors and > in our production facilities is a splendid thing. ~ But even though our confilence irt victory may never waver, j* most of us realize that the extent of our victory will depend ^ not only on the terms of the surrender of our enemies but £ <m the time and the lives which ure expended in bringing £ about that surrender. s The completeness of our victory, in the eyes of most peo ple, will be measured in terms of lives. The fewer of our men killed and wounded, the greater will be the Victory. How quickly and “cheaply" victory can be achieved de- j pends, to a large extent, on how fast we at home can get suf- i fleient supplies to the men at the front. In this war, more than any other war, progress is limited almost entirely by supplies. To furniBh sufficient supplies to win tho war quickly not only takes manpower but also dollar power. Other nations have learned to fear and respect the power of the United States because they know it is the richest nation in tho world. So far there have been few delays in war production caused by lack of funds. But to keep up that record we must continue to keep our dollars pouring into the war pro gram. Buying an extra bond during this Fourth War Loan drive is one of the ways in which we on the home front can help speed victory. BILLIONS FOR POSTWAR The United States Chamber of Commerce has found, as the result of a series of surveys, that the things we are going to want to buy first, when the war ends, in order of their im portance are: New homes, new automobiles and new refrigera tors. The number of people in our nation who fully intend to £uy one or all of those thing!-, and are actually saving money for that purpose, is so great that it almost gu;u unices prospet ity after the war unless something happens to prevent indus try from converting rapidly from the manufacture of war sup plies to the manufacture of these and other products for which jthere is the greatest demand in history. The most tragic thing that could happen in this country would be a period of widespread unemployment, following the war which would make it necessary for large numbers of the people to use those savings to supjmrt themselves and their families. It would only take a few months of unemployment for the billions of dollars, which are now practically earmarked to buy national prosperity, to evaporate. | That’s why the government and industrial leaders who are working on postwar plans consulet continued employment to be the key factor in determining the future of our nation. *’*" Hattie for the Ballot Box It’s the Quality oj leadership that makes Leaders JLt.; liar.t.i w. aUqm*, Ckariou* Cratkwans*.. /forfeit Orlvna* If I get enough SODA A nd HE means Soda...natural soda, the kind he’s always used.
