blBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEh
Thou wilt show me the path of
life- in Thy presence is fulness of
joy; at Thy right hand there are
pleasures for evermore. Psalms 16.
Another Holiday
Monday is another holiday. It is
Labor Day; the last big holiday of
the summer jnonths. Usually aftei
that date we all look forward to the
fall months
Cne thought well worth considera
Hr, lomr with holiday plans, is foi
the motorists of our State to resolve
that this shall be an accident-free
holiday We migni -od
tnans have a hand in this, too, anoj
keeD this coming LDor
Day free of accidents.
Last year, during this same holi
day, seven people in North Carolina
lost their lives due to automobile
traffic . . . this year let's hope
there will be none.

The Weekly has no intentions, of,
trying to acquire or steal the ide.;
that first came to light at the Rotary
meeting, but we do think so much
of it that we intend to try to assist
the club to bring it to realization.
As far as we have been able to
learn, our community is the only one ;
in the Albemarle section that has not
an adequate gymnasium. There canj
be no eXCUSe for that . . . With all
the federal monies that are being
given away for public buildings,1
along with PWA labor for the con-
struction of the buildings, certainly j
the cost of such a building as we
need here, which would be of more
benefits and. less expensive than
some things that have taken tax
monies in the past . . . the cost to
the taxpayers would be mighty;
small.

Army Recruiting
While the conscription bill is be
ing debated in Congress, the Army is
making an unusual drive for volun
teer enlistments, including an inno
vation in the form of traveling re
cruiting offices. These are compos
ed of a truck and trailer for each re
cruiting party, which moves from
town to town seeking recruits.

AMONG the threats of suits for
unpaid bills this week is a letter
from Holt Scott. Holt, if you re-
member, is one of the boys like,
many others who had a Hell of a
time making a decent living in Hert
ford. But he decided to quit trying and
went over the mountains into Ten-
nessee with a Bible salesman
and
landed a job as projectionist
in a
theatre .there. "Getting along okay i

be able to live a life of regulated
peace! However, the second men
realized that married men would be
exempt from the first draft, if and
when it comes, how they rushed to
get themselves all tangled up with
matrimony! And now we learn that
preachers and theological students
may be exempt from service! Well,
if men rush to the ministry as they
rush to matrinomy to avoid war, it
will surely be tough on the ministry!
But there is a sad humor to it all.
Running from the Army or the Navy
to find peace in the ministry or mar
ried life! There is real tragedy in
it, too think of the sorry husbands
anr the mis-fit parsons that will be
the direct result of the draft! Gen
tlemen of the Senate, who oppose
the draft, perhaps there is something
on your side!
