He’s wearing gaudy neckties and romping with his dog. He’s getting a civilian job and his uniform is in moth balls. He’s through with war. It’s all over. He’s home! But some of the boys next door aren’t home, never will come home. Some will spend the rest of their live s in hos pitals or return with their youthful vigor spent. For the boys who did come home, those who can whistle and play with the dog, the American Red Cross rejoices with the nation. The Red Cross with the nation, understands the depth of its responsibility to all the other young Ameri cans who have sacrificed their strength to the common cause. As a great peacetime organ ization which went to war when other peace - loving American civilians did, the Red Cross will follow through toward victory and devote it self greatly to the welfare of hospitalized and home-coming veterans; it will continue to offer services to the men and women still in uniform. It will be able to concentrate now on acts of peacetime mercy, on relief for war-caused suffer ing the world over. This is you r Red Cross, your opportunity to welcome home the boy next door, the boy in your own home, by buying a share in the broad responsibil ities of this postwar work in the world we all have sought through bloody years of bat tle. Give! THE PEOPLE BELIEVE HERBERT HOOVER Former President Herbert Hoover has done more to clar ify the question of how far the United States should go in feeding so-called starvation stricken millions of Europe and Asia than all the rest of the politicians in, and out of the Administration and Con gress. He will go to Europe to make a personal examination. President Truman invited the only living ex-President to come to Washington and he received him at the White House —a simple courtesy which was never offered by the late President Roosevelt. Mr. Hoover’s viewpoint has been almost unanimously ac cepted in Washington. The food situation in Eur ope today is at it s worst, Mr. Hoover explained in backing up the plea of President Tru man to the American people to make a great voluntary ef fort to share the substance of life with other countries. Citi zen Hoover did a magnificent job after World War One. There are now between 300 million and 500 million in for eign lands who face mass star vation unless they receive wheat and othe r food from America to tide them over un til they are able to grow their own crops within the next few months. The newspapers remind us that experience has shown that our people need only to be convinced that these millions of human beings are facing starvation the Americans will do the rest by responding promptly and generously. 1 » OBITUARY WALTER C. FOSTER Monday afternoon, February 25th, , 1946 just before the evening sun slip ped behind the western horizon the soul of Walter C. Foster, was called from its earthly home to its home Eternal. So swiftly did he slip away that even the immediate members of the family had no time t 0 prepare themselves for the end. Mr. Foster was the son of the late Tillman M. and Frances Bess Foster. He was born March 6, 1879. His age being 66 years, 11 months and 19 days. In early manhood he gave his heart to Christ and became a mem ber of Bess’ Chapel Methodist church. Where he remained loyal and faith ful until the end. M.r. foster was twice married. His first wife, who died in 1909, was Miss Sallie E. Beam. To this union four children were born, two having died in infancy. The surviving children are, a son Ralph Foster, of Cherry ville, Route 1, and a daughter, Mrs. Ernest Brown of Cherryville, Route 1. Surviving also are two sisters, Mrs. J. A. Crowder, Cherryville; and Mis s Fannie Foster, Cherryville, Rt.! 1, and one brother, W. L. C. Foster, j Three grand-children, Edwin and Ruthe Foster and Genevieve Brown. In 1934 he was united in marriage with Mrs. Hattie Hoyle Beam, who with the following stepchildren sur vive, Mrs. Angus Tindall of Ojus, Fla.; and Mrs. Tommy Crocker, of Cherryville, Route 2. Mr. Foster was both father and mother to his two children. Their mother having passed away while they were very young. He nursed and tenderly eared for them, bringing them into manhood and womanhood, both with fine Christian characters. These children “Arise and call him blessed.” and the church and com munity say “Well done, thou hath been faithful.” In his going there was no linger ing illness. It is true he had not been strong for some years. His heart gave way and his soul went home to God. His deep devotion to his family, his loyalty to his church, his deep concern for others, his happy dispo sition and his confidence and faith in God will live on in our hearts. He shall sleep, but not forever— There will be a glorious dawn, We shall meet to part, no never, On the resurrection morn! Funeral services were held at Bess’ Chapel Methodist church, Wednesday afternoon, February 27, at 3:30. The officiating ministers were Rev. B. W. Lefler, pastor, and Rev. W. L. Harkey, a former pastor, now of Lincolnton. The Woman’s Society of Christian . Service had charge of th e flowers. Pall bearers were his nephews. The body was laid to rest in the church cemetery ’neath a myriad of beautiful flowers. This Week in WASHINGTON Washington, D. C. (NWNS) As Canada’s investigation of its atomic spy ring progressed and rumors per sisted that ramifications of the case extended to the U. S., Secretary of , State Byrnes sought to reassure Americans that this country alone , still held the all-important secret of manufacturing the A-bomb. At the same time, Byrnes took ■ pains to deny charges that the state department had interfered ■ with the FBl’s probe of an atomic spy ring in the U. S. to avoid giving offense to Russia. Capitol insiders supported Byrnes’ public reassurances, scoffing at re ports that a Russian agent had been permitted to leave a west coast port with a suitcase loaded with atomic information, since plans for all phases of A-bomb development would weigh many tons. Insiders also scotched a ■ story that the FBI had been compell ed to release another Red operative in New York City, declaring that the G-men lacked sufficient evidence to hold the man. , Meanwhile, close observers anxious ly awaited the effect of the Canad ian investigation upon the already strained British-Russian relations. Though openly admitting that its military attache had collected atomic information from Canadians prior to his recall. Russia sought to minimize the incident by accusing the domin ion of trying to divert attention from Communist championing of the cause of independence for subject people. Weighed with the delicate inter national situation and an all-out leg islative fight for his liberal domestic program, President Truman was further harassed by the tension with in his own party over his stubborn espousal 0 f Edwin W. Pauley’s nom ination for under-secretary of the navy. Personal loyalty long has been one of Harry Truman’s outstand ing virtues, but in this case party stalwarts believe that he may have carried his fealty too far. Continuing to "back Pauley in the face of former Secretary of the Interior Ickes’ charge that the big Californian had proposed raising $300,000 for the 1944 Demo cratic war chest if the government would drop its efforts to gain title over underwater oil lands, the po liticos fear the President is provid ing the Republicans with damaging campaign ammunition. Calling upon Pauley himself to quit, Sen. Tom Stewart (Dem.-Ky.) declared: “We have had one Teapot Dome experience in this country, and I hope we do not have another one. You can not mix oil, water and poli tics. ...” * * * With the objection of state right ists met by eliminating th e U. S. education commissioner’s supervision THE LINCOLN TIMES, LINCOLNTON, N.
