There is no com pulsion to buy them. There is now winter relief .-. . no SS man standing outside the door saying, “Buy them, or else.” Nothing is at stake but the future of the co untry v . . perhaps of the World. What then is a stamp or bond but*a vote of confi dence in ourselves? In our capacity to drive on, to break all opposition and then reconstruct upon a new and bet ter design, a world that will be different. A world of surplus instead of scarcity. But a bond is more than this. It is an investment. It is something of a miracle that freedom can be bought and that in addition it should pay a divident of almost 3 percent. And this is’ not all, bonds stand between us the spiral of in flation which could engulf us more easily than any en emy outside our For the first time in many years, demand backed by money exceeds supply, which j normally equals demand, and even stimulates it by ad vertising and credit purchase plans. Are we to save money against the time we may need it, or bid for "the few consumer goods that are left against ourselves? There is one more reason for toying bonds. The President, who is also the commander in chief, has ask ed us to do so. , Meanwhile. . . . while we hesitate . . . while we complkin of nominal hardships]. . . men die . . hot only fighting men, but women and small children also. They die for a good cause. A good reason . . . for free dom. But we who are not dying must pay in time and money,, or we shall find ourselves dishonored. The time is short. It passes . . . and having passed. i< forever .lost. Men in France, in Poland, in Noway . . . men all over Europe are regretting time . . . are saying: “If only we had known.” But we do know. The writing is on the wall. Corr egidOr, Pearl Harbor, Singapore, Dunkirk, are not dreams. They are evil, things that have happened, and now this evil approaches us. It lies in wait off our coasts. Time is money . . . but money Cannot buy time, nor bring dead men to life, nor purchase freedom once it is lost. ' That is why we must buy bonds . . . today, and to morrow, and the day after. Buy bonds until this thing is destroyed utterly . .’. because time is not Subject to manipulation . . . because the past is dead and the fut ure mortgaged . v\ because the world cannot live half free and half slave. Nor we, the free, allow the mort gage updn our freedom he -foreclosed. Failing now, we fail forever. Nevfer before could so much be bought for so little. Never so much lost for lack of that little. • ) _ i ~- INFORMATION, PICT URES OF SERVICE MEN ARE WANTED There is, at present, no absolutely accurate list of men from the county who are serving in the armed forces of the United Stat es. This number is now ap proximately 700. .. With the help of the se lective service board, a complete list is be ing compiled but for a great deal of this information we must depend on the citizens of the county and families of the men in service. Please send this inform ation to the Record office. Within a few weeks an is sue of the paper will be dedicated to these “Men In Service and the list as com pleted to that date will be published. Remember that the names of the men who have been in service for several yearn will probably be hardest to obtain.

Christmas par cels and cards should be mailed during the month of October—N ovembef may be too late. The earlier packages are mailed, the better the chan ces that they will arrive be fore Christmas. Packages should be labeled “Christ mas parcels.” , ~ Here are some of the suggestions of Navy and Postal officials: Articles should be easily portable and Useful in any climate. In the recommend ed category" are toilet kits watches, notebooks, pipes wallets, pens or pencils photographs, etc. Electrical apparatus is of doubtful value. No perishable mat ter should be included. Food, including cakes, cookies, fruits, etc., should be particularly a v oided. Clothing should not be sent unless it has been Specif ically asked for. Because of the urgent need for shipping space for war materials the size of C hristmas parcels should not exceed that of an ord inary shoebox and should not weight more than six pounds. Not more than one| (’hristmas package may be mailed by the same sender, or to the same recipient, in any one week. Most Christmas parcels for overseas must be trans ported great distances and undergo considerable hand ling and storage. Therefore all parcels should be packed in substantial boxes or con tainers, and be covered by strong wrappers. Delay will be avoided if packages are not sealed but tied or secured so as to be readily opened for censor ing. However, sealed pack ages of cigars, tobacco and toilet articles in simplest mercantile form, may be enclosed within packages. Contents of packages sho uld be packed tightly to avoid damage in transit. Sharp instruments such as knives and razors should have their edges protected. Parcels for naval person nel abroad should show, in addition to the name and address of the sender, the name, rank or rating of the addressee and the nava unit or ship to which he is assigned. The location of the unit or ship, even if known by the sender, sho.-- uld never be included, as it might reveal .military in formation. Only two post office addressesishould be used. They are: c'o Post master, New York, and c|o Postmaster,. San Francisco depending on which is near er the man addressed. Lo cal addresses may only be used in addressing men within the continental lim its of the United States. Inscriptions sa c h as * Me **ry Christmas”, and “Do not open until Christ mas” may' be placed in the covering if they do not in terfere with the address. Postage must be fully prepaid. Books are accept able at the special rate of three cents a pound. Money orders should al ways be used. At many pla ces abroad, there are local prohibitions against the importation of United Stat es money. WINTER PEAS RAISE VALUE OF NEXT CROP If handled properly, ev ery acre of Austrian wint er peas should be worth $lO to S2O and acre in increased crop yields the first year, says E. C. Blair, agronomy Extension specialist 6f N. C. State College. Farmers are now plant ing these peas, many of which have been furnished by the AAA through its grant-of-aid plan. Blair said the seedings should be —bUSeptemberv the ! earlier the better. He war ned that peas planted In October and November will not be large enough to turn under until May. Austrian winter peas may be 'planted after corn, cotton, tobacco, peanuts, : cowpeas, soybeans, and other crops. They may be turned under in time to plant corn, and in some counties in time for cotton, t It is not advisable to plow 1 them in for tobacco. They may be turned under for peanuts, soybeans, and cow , peas von sandy soils. ! Blair advised sowing 35 Ito 40 pounds per acre on | land whe„re the peas have not been grown before. 25 j pouhds per acre is suffici- 111 ***££- WALL r I" w | It*e the latest discovery In ' I ! paint science... a paint that • Cover, with One CoetT J covin almoet any interior eur- • Dri#i on# H , £ face, painted or unpainted: m , , w „ . .. . * wallpapered; brick or cement! ,!! „ . 1 Ideal for quick, low-cost room 1 Average Room! 1 maiming, layoatigate 1 See ua, NEWEST PASTEL CAMUS | -H* wm —PAINT ON —use JUST 4 PLAIN WATCKI ANY SURF ACT!

The agronomist said the seed must be inoculated, unless they are to be sown on land that, has already been inoculated. Land in oculated for garden iMay > peas does not require fnoc uation for Austrian winter peas. County agents will furnish information to the farmers on this treatment. Blair pointed out that it pays to fertilize the Aust rian peas, using 200 opunds per acre 6f 0-10-10 in the Coastal Plain ,and 200 po unds of 0-14-7 in the Pied mont and Mountains. The fertilizer application to the next crop may then be re duced J>y these amounts. Lime is needed on highly acid soils. Two copper door hinges yield enough metal for an anti-tank gun’s gr o und mount.
