THURSDAY, SEPTEMRER 9, 1943 When The War Is Over When the war is over and the boys come home there will be a lot of stories that can be told by the fellows from this county. Whether we know it or not they are now scattered over the entire world with a few places as exceptions. These hoys are fighting every day and what they are doing is really a part of history. Some of their deeds may get into the history books but thousands of them will not. Any number of the soldiers will never tell of what they have been through. They themselves will want to forget it hut the deeds will have been done. For instance, there were Person County boys at Guadalcanal and we all know that they had to fight to even stay there. There were Person County boys that stormed the shores of Sicily and there were Person Coun ty boys behind the guns at Pearl Harbor. More and more soldiers from this county are going abroad every month and they are going to win the war. These men were just people who worked at various jobs while they were here or they were boys who were in school. They did not know how they would act under fire, neither did they know whether or not they could assume the “res ponsibilities that would be theirs. Reports now coming in prove that our boys are doing all that could be expected of them. They are proving that this free way of living and worshipping God as they be lieve in meant a lot to them and that they » are ready to die for that right. However they are also proving that before they die they are going to give a good account of themselves. This is all very wonderful but it is what was expected of, not only the Person County boys, but all Americans. Yes,' the boys will be back. They will have done much. They will have been through much. Some of it we will know about but 90 percent of it will never be told. Labor Day 1943 Monday was Labor Day. In this section of the county there were very few, if any, special events. However, on this Labor Day the American public was probably more con scious of the important part that is* now being played by labor than ever before. It is this great part that the working man is bow playing that is doing so much to hasten the end of the war. Right in our county there are two to four thousand laborers in our plants that are working day and night to bring about ..this end. They are all conscious of the fact that they have to work hard in order that this end might come even a few days earl ier than it otherwise would. As we have said there were Tew events on the docket this year in their honor but these events can easily wait until the war is over and then we can pay Labor the honor that is justly due it. This short message is simply to let the men and women who are engaged ih this all-important work know that their are being appreciated and that in the peace-time future when we can catch our breath we shall tell you more this delayed honor. Thursday, September 9 Mark well the date. On this day; the Third War Loan drive starts and you are called upon to do all that you can to make this drive a success. Person County has a quota of $667,000 and Person County can not fail No matter how many bonds you Have bought before, try to buy another. If you cannot buy a bond, buy a few stamps. At least try to get someone to buy for the war must go on to a successful end. After all is said and done, the people at home should remember that it is a little easier to stay at home and fight than it is to get a machine gun and take a position away from the Germans or the Japs. We only lend our money they give, or offer to give, their lives. The drive lasts three weeks. That’s a short time to raise that much money but it’s long enough to borrow it. The matter might have a different aspect if we were called upon to give it. On the other hand it would still be an excellent investment if it was a gift. This war is serious business and the sooner we get it over with the better of this world will be. You will have every opportunity to buy and if it is all the same to you the commit tee would rather ou buy as early in the drive as you can. Let’s buy now and get this one behind us. We must take the different phases of this war as the come and handle them with rapid dispatch. Interested In America National Commander Roane Waring of the American Legion made a speech a few days ago and it is rather interesting to note that he had something to say and said it. Below we quote: “I want to warn you now about some of this talk about an international police force,” he said. “I am not interested in an international police force because I don’t know WHO WILL COMMAND IT. “I don’t know who will decide what that force is going to fight for and sustain. “I am only interested in a national de fense force, an AMERICAN Army and Navy that will fight for the dictates of our AMERICAN judgement, regardless of what any international court or society of people may decide . . . “I am not in favor of placing the destiny of this America of ours in the hands of ANY international organization of ANY KIND UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. “I don’t want to let some FOREIGN group of governments decide what AMERICA’S policy shall be, what America’s financial in terests shall be, whom America will feed, supply and support. “I am ready to LET THAT REMAIN IN THE HANDS OF THE AMERICAN PEO PLE.” Many American will agree with the Commander. They are now and will contin ue to be interested in America. They want peace in this country and they want the American people to say what kind of peace it will be. We are not willing to let* destiny rest in the hands of any country except this one. WITH OTHER EDITORS | A Story From Battles Long Ago By Spurgeon Compton South Boston News Whenever I hear the word patriotism, I am reminded of a story told by a veteran of the War Between the States. It’s a simple little story, but somehow it clings in my mind and shines even today when America’s best artists are devoting their talents to tHe stories of valor, and when the word patriot ism is heard on every lip, usually connected with a scheme of selling something. I shall try to tell that story that happened long ago: He was a sergeant in the Army of the Confederate States of America, fighting be fore the Capital at Richmond, One day he received a letter from an old friend of his in Halifax County. The friend stated in the letter that he had two sons, age 15 and 16, that he figured had become old enough to fight for their country. He was sending them, he wrote, outfitted with uniforms and arms, and hoped that the sergeant would kind of take them in his care. They were just kids, you see—but the army of the Con federacy needed men. Well the kids arrived, joyous youngsters, just beginning to enter into life, so to speak. The Yankee Army, under McClellan, was ap proaching Richmond, near enough to see the spires of a church. Up in Washington, old Abe Lincoln was keeping the wires hot, tell ing McClellan to shell the city. This was something unheard of in those days. It was not unty such men as Hitler came along that the killing of women and children became .an established factor in war. The fighting was fierce, so the two kids were thrown into battle on the very day of their arrival. AH day long the battle raged. PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO. N. C. And when evening came, and the sergeant in whose care they had been entrusted call ed the roll, they were missing. When he found them they lay side by side in the trenches, still clutching their guns. Their fifteen and sixteen years of life had been ended on their first day of battle. The uni forms that their father had*purcjiased when he so proudly sent them off to fight for their country were stained with their blood . . . That was the story that the old sergeant of the Confederate Army told years after the battle smoke had gone and a nation that thought its cause was pure had lain pros trate in defeat, slowly rallying. When he told the story, tears would come to his eyes. But, as if defending the heroism of those two youths whose deeds were all that were really necessary to prove their heroism, he would close with the fallowing: “ . . . Killed on their first day . . . but they fought . . . they fought like hell, damned if they didn’t!” Women Peacemakers • Christian Science Monitor Quietly, efficiently, sturdily, the feminine shoulder has been placed to the production wheel, as more and more men laid down the tools of industry for the weapons of war. State College Hints To Homemakers BY Ruth Current N. C. State College If you’re looking for a good 1 place to use honey, you don’t need to go any farther than your breakfast toast or waffles. Hot biscuits, dripping with honey have been a morning delight since way back. Honey can also be used to sweeten fruits, bever ages, and cerealy. Honey sauce, ; with nuts or orange juice and orange peel, is good on ice j cream. For a sandwich filling, use honey which has been cream ed with butter, nuts, grated or- ; ange peel, cream cheese, cottage I cheese, or peanut butter. Many cooks sometimes use honey to give their old receipes new life and flavor. When you cook with honey, remember a pant of it is water. You can’t substitute honey for sugar, meas ure for measure, without mak ing some other change in the re- | cipe.

Have a Coca-Cola=Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here In the United States, in addition to serving in the military forces, women now outnum ber men by five to one on new jobs. They have earned, the commendation of their President: “Ttyey are doing a grand job . : . shoeing skill and efficiency which makes for high production.” In Britain, the Minister of Labor paid this tribute: “Our women tipped the scales of war.” In Russia, China, and elsewhere the story is the same. Regrettably, |however, this growing re cognition of woman’s indispensability seems to be limited to the war effort. The peace program, insofar as it has been envolved, appears still to be a closed masculine cor poration. No women are attending the schools of the Allied Military Government, in which men are being instructed in the duties of administering liberated territories. None have been given positions of responsi bility with any of the postwar relief or re habilitation agencies, and proposals to enlist the capacities of women at the peace con ference have been ignored. Yet women have qualities and experience which should prove more valuable in peace making than in warmaking. It is a quaint notion which holds that women’s part in world government should be confined to cradle rocking. | nal recipe calls for.
