THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1939 School Days Next Wednesday the children of this county will start back to school. They have been out for four months and a majority are ready to start back again. Many have been working during the hot summer months and going back to school will be a change that they all need. The teachers too, are ready to begin work, When school stops, the teacher’s salary stops and four months is a long time to go without a check. Then they just naturally like to be busy and teaching school is really a busy job. We all know that the opening of school marks the end of summer and those who are in business here do not hate to see the long summer months come to an end. Everything looks like our schools are in for a good year. Good teachers and principals have been secured and the school system is in good hands. Although little is ever said about the members of the city and county school boards we do not hesitate to say that our two boards are among the best. All of the members are interested in school work and they are well qualified for their positions. If you have boys and girls in school you are urged to get them ready for the first day and try to keep them in school every day in the year. Good attendance is one of the most important parts of a school pupil’s life. This paper wishes to extend a hearty welcome to all teachers who are coming to this county from other places. We are sure that they all will find that this is a center of “Hospitality”. People here believe that school teachers are among the best people in the world and so they receive a welcome in Person county that is second to none. It’s directly up to us to support all teachers in their activities. Parents have about as much to do with the success of schools as any other group and the proper co-operation between the parents and the teachers can be the difference between a good year and a bad year. We have good teachers this year, let’s be good parents and do our part to make Person schools “Re nowned the World Around.” —O— O 0 Touching This article is being written Tuesday. By the time the paper comes out war may be raging or all may be quiet. No one knows today what may happen by tomor row or even within the next hour. ( There was an item by the Associated Press in Tues day’s papers that must have been gleaned in Europe. You know Europe is filled with mothers who lost child ren or wives who lost husbands. Here’s the little item— It’s rather touching. Berlin, Aug. 28.—(AP)_Tears filled her eyes and trickled down upon the steel fragment in her hand. Moved by the tenseness of the world situation, this German World war widow was showing some of the mementoes which she had found in the garden of her home in western Germany, close to the French frontier. There were rusty shell splinters which had fallen to the pound; a battered part of an English war-plane which had been shot down. She is a proud woman, proud of the fighting ability of the German soldier and convinced they don’t come any better. The war took her husband. And now, she knows. war comes again the chances are fifty-fifty it will take her “war baby.” He is somewhere on the Polish front. “If I only knew where.” she says. It does look like she people of Germany would be opposed to war that even Hitler would not be able to force them into it, but then they probably do not have much to say or are afraid to say anything. —O—O O Opening Delayed The opening of the Roxboro Tobacco Market has been delayed by two selling days. Instead of opening on September 14th. it will open September 18th. This is really a difference of four days, but tobacco is not sold on Saturday or Sunday. This delay of two days will not help the Roxboro market. As a matter of fact it will hurt to some extent as quitea bit of tobacco could be hauled from this coun ty to other markets during those two days. At one time we are afraid that the opening would be delayed by a week or more and so we are fairly well satisfied with a delay of only two days. The Middle Belt opening was also delayed and that will help us. It is understood that there was nothing that could be done to prevent this postponement. There was too much tobacco in the border belt to release even a few buyers as early as the companies had expected. If all farmers will cooperate and refuse to take their tofoicco t 6 other markets, the delay will not hurt, is what is needed and will certainly help. Sellin Roxboro. rERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO. N.

This newspaper believes the President should now call a special session of Congress to deal with neutrality legislation. The sooner the better. Every ounce of weight Amer ica can throw into the balance for peace is more import ant now than it possibly can be later. Repeal of the arms embargo, and restoration of the cash-and-carry provisions broadened to include arms as well as other commodities, appear the most likely safe guards for peace abroad and at home. Reports from Washington indicate increasing sentiment for elimina tion of the arms embargo, though much of this opinion would be content with a mere return to traditional con cepts of neutrality based on international law. The dis quieting aspect of this possibility is that these concepts were not adequate to the task of keeping America out of war in 1917 and might not be in future. Even so, straight repeal seems preferable to keep ing a remnant of the 1937 law on the books. This remnant merely hinders the giving of aid to the defensive alliance in time to ward off the first blows of war. It does not prohibit American ships from enter ing dangerous zones, which entry was one of the causes of American participation in the World War, since it al lowed American ships to be where torpedoes could reach them, and to be there for reasons which made it almost inevitable that torpedoes would reach them. It does on the other hand stand as a symbol of Congressional un willingness to join the President in his efforts to strengthen the hands of the peace front in Europe, and as an encouragement to possible aggressors to assume that if they strike fast and hard enough they may gain their ends before aid coqld reach their opponents. A comprehensive cash-and-carry plan would cer tainly. be better than this policy of draft which is all Americans have to rely on in this critical moment. The fact that the surest way to keep out of war is to prevent major war from breaking out places on A merican leaders a serious responsibility. They must pro vide all possible aid short of war to those nations which are obviously in a defensive position. And with this aid must be combined all possible safeguards against A merica’s being drawn into war because of attacks oh A merican shipping. This is a question which, in such a crisis as the world is now experiencing, deserves and in deed demands a special session of Congress.
