FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1941 BIBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK A TRIED HELPER: Thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. Psalm 27:9. National Cotton Week is now in full swing and those of us who would like to see the big cotton surplus of this country cut down a few figures can assist by purchasing cotton goods before Cotton Week ends Saturday. We read an excellent description in one of our Exchanges this week on what happens when a boat is tor pedoed. The description was given to a Norfolk News Index reporter by a veteran British boatswain whose ship has been torpedoed four times during the present war. The boat swain, in answer to the query said, "There's a big bang. Some go to Heaven, some go to Hell, and the rest go home." Just about the time that President Roosevelt has all 48 States in the Union ready to observe Thanksgiving Day along with him, he announces this week that beginning in 1942 Thanksgiving Day will be observed on the traditional last Thursday of November. The "roving dogs" situation in Hertford is indeed a hard problem to solve, but don't be surprised if the Town Board comes up with some new action on the matter, which to our belief will go a long way toward solving the situation. Hertford was host to a large group of Perquimans people on Tuesday when the Demonstration Clubs helo their annual Flower Show and Tea. The show itself is a credit to the entire County, and the Clubs are to be congratulated for it. Why not more of these kind of attractions to bring additional people to Hertford? The Weekly believes that a "little cooperation" along the home front will be helpful in the materialization of more projects such as the Flower Show. ' Very shortly a new all-weather highway will open up to Hertford merchants one of the finest trading areas in the Albemarle ... it will also shorten distances nd be a better roadway to other towns ... so, it's up to the Hertford merchants to get the jump on other towns and brrng those good people to Hertford for their shopping. When dictators unite to plunder free people, it is time for free peo ple everywhere to make common cause in their own interests and safety. About Editorials William Allen White once said he had written so many of them that he could compose editorials while falling from an airplane. Today the job isn't so easy. The News-Herald doesn't hesitate to take its readers into confidence and explain why. The criticism one invokes is the least distressing aspect of the chore. A seasoned writer isn't surprised when the same paragraph causes one reader o damn him as a dangerous radical and another to blast him as a moss-backed reactionary. The most patrotic sentiments are Sometimes in terpreted as treason; complimentary words sometimes bring anger from those they were designed to please. You get used to that The worry today is the writer's own inadequacy. Once it was the fashion for editors to pontificate, to write as if they were omniscient, ubiquitous prophets operating under divine guidance for the direction of the multitude and the good, of their particular political party.' These editors were staffed shirtsyTheir works were tripe, of ten venal. Fortunately, most of them are now retired. .'' ' If any survive, this war is enough to prick HtuSa bloat. The honest editor knows lie is only a half-educated cub whose livelihood demands he express so many opin ions each Issue, Habit has given him some facility, although his ease ef IT SHAN'T HAPPEN HERE! style is often spawned by his lack of thought. The sad realization is accentuated bv today's events. Old standards and values crumble as disastrously as did the fortifications of the Maginot Line. There seems no whole and practical wisdom anywhere. Some men can be blindly loyal to a rigid creed but not the writer whose job it is to investigate all sides. The editor, for instance, who swears by every plank of the Republican plat form and sees no good in the New Deal is of no value to the intelligent reader and has missed, his calling. He should be a stump speaker with a sound truck. What is a man to say now? We want peace for our country and yet we want to keep it worth having. Try and find a perfect formula for that with Hitler loose in the world and because of him men are crazed with fear and greed strangely com plicated by messianic ambition. The editor has been kicked out of his sanctum. He can serve only with humility and be perversely cheered by knowing what he says may not be important, possibly won't even be read. It must suffice he is honest with himself and knows his limita tions. The world doesn't rest on his shoulders. He can be thankful for that. Hutchinson (Kan.) News Herald. Religion In The Camps Provisions being made by the Unit ed States Army for the spiritual welfare of men in training are en couraging to millions of Americans who recognize the basic place of re ligion in national defense. In a message to President Roose velt earlier this year Dr. Rufus W. Weaver, Speaking in behalf of the General Committee of Army ana Navy Chaplains, declared that the United States is facing a religious crisis unparalleled in its history. Our times cause deep questioning. And the uprooting of young men from accustomed walks of life through conscription, the transfer of men to new fields for work in de fense industries, tend to separate many from normal civilian relation ships and. undoubtedly present a chal lenge to the church. The Army's answer to this devel opment is expansion of its Corps of Chaplains to provide one for every 1,200 men in uniform and construc tion of chapels at every cantonment and base at the rate of one for every regiment or comparable unit. Carrying on a tradition of 125 years, the American Bible Society will supply each of the chapels with a pulpit Bible and the Gideon Society, which for years has provided Bibles ?or otel rooms, is prepared to distri bute 4,500,000 books containing thej Psalms and the New Testament. ' In addition, denominations which do not have a chaplain at a camp are providing spiritual leaders to min ister to the needs of members of their faith and are receiving the co-operation of Army chaplains in carrying on their activities. It is a wise decision to provide the new army with every opportunity for, religious worship. In a world where daily developments tend to bring dis illusionment and dismay there is need for men to turn their thinking to spiritual foundations. Christian Science Monitor.
