LOVE THY COUNTRY
There are literally millions of j
Americans who live in the great !
cities of our land and who have
no interest in going outside cf
diem. To there people a ’•nation
al park” means nothing. The
"city park” is wild enough to suit
them. But theie are othei millions
who have had a glimpse of Amer
ica and who appreciate the beauty
spots of this greet country. And
let us remark right here that!
| ilitse same “beau .j spots’ are
surpassed by no others on ibis
earth.
There are now ovei 25 areas—
"each one a distinct type of orig
inal wilderness of outstanding
beauty” which have been protect
ed by law—up to now—from com
mercial exploitation. These areas
together comprise the national
park system. It is too bad they
are so few, for there are hun
dreds more areas of great beauty
which are being destroyed by our
perfectly normal anl understand
able passion for the almighty dol
lar. Good illustrations are: The !
cutting down of some of the giant j
tree groves of Caifornia to pro- i
vide « few sticks of lumber; and j
the blasting out of the sides of
the upper Hudson—(one of the
world’s most beautiful stretches j
of river)—to provide gravel and
cement, These same products
could be—and in some cases are j
—mined well back from the river
and brought to crushers and bar
ges by traveling buckets swung
on overhead cables. But this pro
cess costs a few cents more and i
the state legislature doesn’t want ;
to be unkind to the gravel and
I cement producers.
The following paragraph is from !
the National Parks magazine:
"The postwar period, as we see
it today, appears fraught with
plans for a vast expansion of
commercial development. Attempts
are likely to be made to involve
the national park and monument
systems in schemes that would
make of these great nature res
ervations mere political footballs
and bring about the loss of their
primeval character.”
Now maybe signboards, dams,
hot dog stands, cutover land and
worked-out gravel pits would en
hance the beauty of prater
Lake, Yosemite, Glacier National
park, the Grand Canyon, the
Great Smoky Mountains, etc. But
it would be difficult to so per
suade the ever-increasing num
ber of Americans who wiu be us
ing the highways of this country,
after the war, to get a little joy
out of life. These people ese
enough gasoline signs on the
roads back home.
Some day Americans are going
to become America conscious—
just as all the world is Europe con
scious. Europeans are going to
be flying and motoring over this
country to see the magnificest
sights which the rock crushers and
sign board erectors have their
postwar eyes on. The “joy of liv
ing” tor a million years to come
can be increased by the preserva
tion of those areas of incompara
ble beauty which are our national
parks. Their desecration will be
appai ent a million years after all
records of this war have been
lost. Their conservation is a
trust which every real American
should be conscious of and to
which he shoull give a reasonable
part, of his attention. This coun
try was not created to be used
up by just those who are alive
today. We've done enough harm
to it already—we owe the future
something.
Telephone men and women of
Cherryville are among 32,000
who have received a special citn
tion from the Army Signal Corps
for loyal and patriotic teryitv-c
tendered du:ing the national
emergency. The award has tne
same significance concerning
communications which the Army
N.i'v "E” award has in produc
tion circles.
Colonel F. J. Magee, Signal Of
ficer of the Fourth Service Com
mand, on Monday night presented
to Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany and its employees, a Certifi
cate of Appreciation. The pre
sentation featured a special cere
mony at Atlanta, Ga. In accept
ing the citation, President Hal S.
Dumas, of Southern Bell, praised
the war contribution of telephone
men and'women and said he was
“happy to accept in the name of
all my fellow workers throughout
the South.’’
Colonel Magee highly commend
ed telephone men and women for
their valuable contributions to
the war effort. There were other
features of the Program, in
cluding a talk by Lieutenant T.
N. Carmichael, a serviceman
back from the Italian campaign.
Several thousand persons attend
ed the ceremony at Atlanta.
Every telephone employee in
Cherryville soon will have .a per
sonal copy of the citation. A min
iature replica of the certificate is
being sent to all 32,000 Southern
Bell people in nine state?, so that
they will have a visible symbol
of the honor which the Signal
Corps is acocrding them for their
“distinguished contribution” to
the war drive.
The citation reads: “The Chief
Signal Officer of the Army of
the United States extends his ap
preciation to Southern Bell Tele
phone and Telegraph Company for
loyal and patriotic service render
ed the Signal Corps of the Army
of the United States in the ac
complishments of its vital mission

your distinguished contribution in
furtherance of a future world at

GOLDEN TEXT: 1 SAMUEL
Lesson for July 30: Judges 6,
7’ Gid Golden Text: I Samuel
14:16. „ ,,
Gideon’s story illustrates God s
power to use the humble. Of
undistinguished family in Manas
seh, and so unlike a national hero
when God called him that he was
threshing wheat in secret for fear
of the Midianites, Gideon became
the fifth and greatest of the Jud
Overturning Baal's altar and
cutting down its grove, rallying
his neighbors, summoning Asher,
Zebulun and Naphtali, reducing
army by 20,000 as directed
in Deuteronomy 20:8, further
i educing it that God's power
might be maifested (Judges 7:2),
attacking the Midianites by night
(Judges 7:17-25), and, joined by
warriors of the northern slaugh
tering 120,000 of the enemy,
and scattering the remnant of
15,000 and capturing their two
kings, Gideon broke the power of
the marauders and stopped their
forays for the remaining 40 years
of his life.
Declared by the captured kings
to look like a prince, Gideon re
fused a crown (Judges 8:2.*!), yet
from the spoils taken he made a
»ichly-orn jiaented ephod which
became a snare to him and his
house (Judges 8:27), and he rath
er marred a great character by
taking many wives.
Attributing Gideon’s work to
God's power raises the question of
God’s attitude toward war. But
as we readily justify defensive
war, we can easily believe that the
weapon which Gideon used was in
deed “the sword of the Lord and
of Gideon.” And we may be en
couraged to believe that God will
even now work His will among
the nations, whether “by many or
by few.”

COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR
Washington, b. C. (NWNS)—
[The success of some progiunis for
converting pa>-t of the automobile
I factories to civilian production as
soon as the Geiman ph«se of the
war ends will probably ha\ ; much
to do with whether we ha'.e a
major depression after the war or
whether we will be able to turn
from war prosperity to peacetime
prosperity.
At a meeting of the leading au
tomobile manufacturers with the
War Production board, blueprints
were suggested by the WP15 for
the production of 2,000,00i» auto
mobiles within 12 months after
X-Day (the day the war Ger
many ends). Under the plan the
automobile manufacturers would
begin immediately to plan produc
tion and place orders foi mater
ials with the understanding that
the materials would be delivered
as soon as possible after X-Day.
These orders for materials are
called “blue orders,” probably de
rived from the blue airraid signal
designating the start of activities.
The automobile industry lead
ers, however, rejected the WPB
i plan as impractical and intimated
that they could not do much about
conversion while they were totally
engaged in war production.
Since the automobile industry
is the largest production group in
our country, its ability to turn
wartime jobs into peacetime jobs
without an unemployment gap will
determine how most other indus
tries can handle this complicated
conversion. It is believed by the
government that if a plan is woik
i ed out carefully enough, it may
he possible for these giant coni
eerns to shift gradually into civ
ilian production. The plan was
| to make cars similar to the *1942
| models, with the first cars eost
jing the consumer at least 25 per
cent more than the same car cost
in 1942. But the present attitude
of the industry leaders indicat. _
that the industry will not listen t™
such a plan at present.
, If the government-industry
conference plan does eventually
produce a workable program for
the conversion of automobile
plants, it is probable that the
WPB will get together with one in
dustry after another to figure out
how each can shift to civilian pro
duction with a minimum of head
aches and with as little unemploy
ment as possible.
One of the great problems in
conferences of this kind is the ef
fect they have on morale among
the people. It is feared that if
there is too much talk now about
civilian production many people
are apt to feel that the war is
pretty well over. The attempt of
large numbers of war workers to
shift to peacetime jobs, which
necessitated the freezing of men
in war jobs beginning July 1, is
the best example of this attitude.
Actually the demands for war
production in some vital indus
tries is greater than ever right
now and will continue indefinite
ly. The War Manpower commis
sion has made. several public ap
peals recently for men who are
needed in war factories, includ
ing an appeal for large numbers
of workers to help produce a new,
secret weapon about which it will
reveal no information. But the
fact that manufacture of this new
device is just beginning makes it
clear that the planning in Wash
ington is based on the war contin
uing for some time to come.
Conversion must be planned
while the war is going on so in
dustry will be ready for it the day
war production lets up, but the
greatest difficulty is to conpince
the people that peacetime plan
ning does not have anything to
do with the expectation of an ear
ly peace and that any letup in
war work now will delay peace.
From where I sic... ly Joe Marsh
r Soldiers’ Wives and
Post-War Married Life
[ A psychologist offers some
mighty sensible advice to hus
bands and wives separated by
war. He believes “lack of toler
ance’* rather than loss of affec
tion Is most likely to cause post
war marriage difficulties.
The wife has built wonderful
pictures of how perfect life will
be when her husband gets back.
And he dreams of evenings with
her by the fire with a glass of
beer, friendly conversation, and
no problems or worries.
Cf course, it isn’t true that Just
getting back together will make
life perfect. There’ll be the same
domestic problems, the same
complications and adjustments,
as always.

When Actions Speak Louder
Than Words
L
I
I
I
I
The patriotic manner in which telephone men and women
have carried aa since Pearl Harbor speaks louder than
words. When war started telephone workers were already
in the midst of the greatest construction program ever
undertaken. As war progressed their job grew more com
plicated. However, every war telephone service demand
was met on or ahead of schedule, though it meant work
ing long extra hours day after day. •
While doing this tremendous war job, the urgent tele
phone needs of the public were not forgotten. There are
today more than 500,000 more telephones in service in the
Southern Bell territory than in 1940, and service is being
maintained in spite of the fact that nearly one-third of
•ur male employees are in the armed forces. Telephone
operators are now completing more than 450,000 more
calls each month than in the summer months of 1940.
Accepting their responsibilities as citizens, telephone
folks have purchased millions of dollart of War Bonds
and are continuing to invest more than ten per cent ol
their regular wages every month in bonds. You will find
them doing Red Cross work—nurse’s aid work—donating
their blood-—in fact you’ll find telephone folks in nearly g
every civic movement designed to aid in our war effort
and the betterment of the communities in which they live.
Telephone workers' have accepted their wartime re
sponsibilities, appreciating the vital part they have in the
successful prosecution of the war—shouldering their tasks
cheerfully and unselfishly as the men in anas shoulder
their guns.
