HDY, tOOK BIHIND YOU1 1 ' , Pile It High This week is being observed as National Aluminum Week in ever county in the United States . . . a drive for scrap aluminum is on and the collection will be used to aid in national defense. After the old aluminum has been collected and melted down, the metal will be used for the making of air plane parts and the like. A serious shortage of this metal has occurred and there is definite need for every available piece of scrap aluminum. This week an "Aluminum Bin" was constructed on the Courthouse Green in Hertford and all aluminum collected in the county will be placed in this bin . . . now this is & drive that everybody can have a part in by bringing that old dishpan to the "bin" and giving it a toss for nation al defense. Let's pile it high and fill that bin several times . . . surely there is enough scrap and thrown-away alum inum in the county for that ... the drive lasts until July 29, so remem ber to bring your aluminum to the bin in Hertford. Why War Destroyed Peace, The wa 'in the East continues, with Germany reporting break throughs and Moscow asserting the contrary. No man knows what is happening, except that men are being slaughter ed. The clatter of machines and the clash of mechanized armies may cap ture the imagination but it is human beings who are doing the dying. That mankind has no better way to settle its differences is a reproacn to all peoples including those of us who live in the United States. It is ours to admit that this re public refused to take any steps to line-up with peaceful nations in a plan to- prevent iwar by making It a crime, punishable by concerted ac tion of powerful, peace-loving peo ples. To say that- the United States worked for peace, during the early twenties and thirties, because we foolishly disarmed and swallowed a lot bf bunk about nations never using war ,as an instrument of national policy, is merely to remind us that, like the British and French, we wer sucked in by aggressive, self-seeking nations. It is foolish to talk of peace unless one is willing to serve, if necessary, as a soldier of peace. It is idle to sign non-aggression pacts if one is not ready to do something about en forcing non-aggression pacts. It is absurd to disarm without being (willing to cooperate in the defense of the disarmed, if they are threat ened by sudden might. Peace is possible in the world only if those who want peace possess the power to enforce it. To leave peace to the mercy and decision of nations that worship the gods of war Is as foolish as possible and yet that is what the democracies of the woriu did. Today they are paying the price of folly. ' AY rV3i returned to their home in Ctfsfield, Maryland, Thursday. They were ac companied home by Miss Sara Mae Chappell and Mrs. Lucinda Lane. Mrs. T. C.

AUTO AND PERSONAL LOANS See Us Personally Before Purchasing an Automobile. No Investigation Charge. PERSONAL LOANS FOR EVERY NEED HERTFORD BANKING COMPANY MEMBER FDIC HERTFORD, N. C. Age Of Responsibility The young men whose draft num bers have just been drajwn from the famous "goldfish bowl" in Washing ton have "come of age" in a way known to few preceding generations of Americans. Never has the re sponsibility which twenty-one years imply been so broad as in this year 1941. Millions of young men today know what it is to feel responsible for the welfare and security of their coun try even to the extent of pledging ell their private hopes to it. They have had to postpone careers in which many of them had already made con siderable investments. Some have had to interrupt , their education. All know that in the event of grim ne cessity even their lives are pledged. These sacrifices spell responsibility as too many Americans who passed twenty-one long ago have not yet learned to spell it For a large sec tion of the American public the emergency which the United States faces has meant only an increase in the amount of money available for new cars, refrigerators, radios. No one begrudges some increase of purchasing power where it has too long been inadequate. But there are signs, in the markets and elsewhere, that numerous Americans have yet to come of age in the sense of matching the responsibilities undertaken this week by 750,000 twenty-one-year-olds. Mr. Knudsen's report on the continuance of a short work week in the copper mining industry only il lustrates how tardily Americans are alvaking to the fact of an unlimited national emergency. .The selectee is given no time to drowse in the full daylight of this emergency. He turns twenty-one, puts his private affairs in order in a few days, says good-bye to places and persons dear to him and "turns to." One of the most heartening signs of these times for lovers of freedom is the willingness with which the average young man of America shoulders his responsibilities with their sacrifices and dangers. As those whose decisions are voluntary match the spirit of the selectees the outlook for their country and its ideals will become still brighter. ue nrunan science Monitor.
