At the same time, in view of the spotlight around the President, in connection with de fense problems and events abroad, there seems to be little doubt but No American should overlook the that the odds, at this time.' are , significance of Wednesday, October strongly on the side of Mr. Roose- 16, when 1(5,500,000 men, between 21 velt and 35, register for a possible year's!

These young citizens will often be re quired to give up their place in the economic life of their communities and to accept less pay from the Gov ernment they serve. Of course, the reverse is true and some of the trainees will improve their financial situation by the operation of the draft. El very employer should attempt to protect the employee who sacrifices income for patriotic service and, if possible, re-employ the trainee at the conclusion of his year's service. This may involve some difficulties but the inconvenience is not to be compared with the complications that disturl the even-tenored existence of the man who is jerked out of civil life into military training. The adoption of compulsory mili tary training by the United States, while at peace, indicates a profound understanding on the part of the people of this country of the world situation. Despite our past antipathy to draft laws, because c" the dan.trei that militaristic sentiment may devel op, there is widespread approval of the Selective Service Act even among the young men who will be called in to service. They seem to realize that the existence and liberty of this country may depend upon immediate preparations for national defense. There is increasing evidence from abroad, notably the guarded reactions in Japan, Germany and Italy thati the significance of conscription of I'l L ' m i me extension oi navai ana air bases in the Atlantic and Pacific, taken together with the adoption of conscription, indicates that public opinion in the United States has violently shifted away from the isolation theory and that this nation is prepared to assume its responsibil ities as the strongest power in the world. Naturally, there are some risks involved, but, sooner or later, the peace of the world will have to be upheld by force and the only ques tion now open is whether the domi nance will be that of the totalitar ian group or the democratic peoples, represented almost exclusively by Great Britain and the United States. Dr, Clyde A. ; Erwin, a State Super intendent of Public Instruction today termed the North ' Carolina State Fair to be held , at Raleigh,, October 8-12 "an outstanding educational in stitution and one which, ought to be attended by the school children of the State to the fullest extent possi ble." ;,v-;.; His praise of the Fair came with the announcement that the State' 900,000 school children will be guests of the 1940 exposition on Friday October 11. Tickets for pupils have been mailed to all county and city school superintendents. "I know of no place in which thp resources of our State are exhibited so completely or to such, great ad vantage," Dr. Erwin said of the State Fair. "I am sure that any child attending the State Fair will go away with a finer spirit of State patriotism and with a better appre ciation of the magnificent resource? and possibilities of North Carolina." Friday of Fair Week has been designated as "Young North Caro linians' Day;" Wake County School Day will be observed on Tuesday. October 8, in order to avoid conges tion. Pupils will see agricultural, educa tional and industrial displays occupy ing 92,000 square feet of exhibit! space. Special events have been planned for 4-H Club members andi Vocational Agriculture students. Although extensive plans have been made by the educational depart ments of the 1940 exposition, school children will find ample entertain ment including the World of Mirth Shows (42 rides and shows) on the mile-long midway; nine outstanding grandstand acts and a revue; har ness, auto and motorcycle races; fire works each night and Lucky Teter and His Hell Drivers. , NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION 1 Having. qualified as Administratrix D.

Bar- Plainly, the message carried across . the ocean to other lands, declares that this country, despite its love of peace, understands the nature of the challenge that is being made to democratic institutions and is prepar ing itself, if necessary, to assert and maintain its way of life, by force of arms. In its re-arming, the United States gives plain notice to totalitarian nations that it will not buy peace "at any price" and that the question of peace or war, in tiie future, de , pends largely upon their attitude to the rights, interests and liberties of our people. Meanwhile, with about a month to go, the presidential campaign con tinues unabated, with Mr. Willkie busy in his. energetic efforts to reach the people.
