Advertising ratea famished bj request FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 19U The End Ojf The War The . war outlook of the United States seems to be summarized by recent statements made before t(e House Postwar Military Policy Com mittee. The Army, according to Chairman Woodrum, of Virginia, has "tentatively" set October 1st as the date for the end of the war against Germany. While events in Europe indicate the possibility that German military forces will be decisively defeated by October 1st, the Army certainly makes no "firm" prediction. In fact, the end may occur earlier. It all de pends upon the Nazi will to resist in the light of a hopeless military situ ation. Regarding the war against Japan, Rear Admiral James H. Irish indi cates the Navy expects to be fighting through 1945. He points out that the campaign in the Pacific "is being handicapped by the failure to obtain necessary ships." - The Admiral's observation empha sizes the dependence of our fighting forces upon adequate, oversea trans portation. Our job in Europe, where we wage war 3,000 miles from home, poses a minor transportation prob lem compared with that in the Pa cific. Despite the optimistic headlines and reports we are receiving these days, the home front should remem ber the war is not over yet, and it w;ll be months before the boys be gin to return home.

So, the sons of Jesse were exhibit ed to the prophet Samuel. The first one attracted his attention but the divine message came rejecting him: "Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him: for Jehovah seeth not as man seeth: for man looketh on the outward appearance but Je hovah looketh upon the heart." Seven anna wera Hisannmvd and Samuel inauired if there were an-! other, to find out that the youngest, David, was out caring for his fath er's flocks. Then David, the shepherd boy, came before the prophet who realized that he was Jehovah's choice as Saul's successor, whereupon he appointed liim. David's career from then on becomes very interesting.

It is highly desirable that all fiber board boxes be securely- wrapped in heavy paper, if available, as exper ience has shown that boxes without an outer wrapper " often " become crushed or split, thus allowing the contents to escape. "Contents should be packed tightly, in order that the articles may not become loosened in transit, damag ing the contents or the covering of the parcels. Hard candies, nuts, caramels (including those covered with chocolate), fruit cake, and chocolate bars individually wrapped in waxed paper should be enclosed in inner boxes of wood, metal, or card board.

We do not know whether ineligible persons in Perquimans County are receiving allotments, or whether such claims, if made, are due to wilful fraud or to woeful ignorance 6f the provisions of the law. From another state comes the suggestion that such frauds could be eliminated if local draft boards were Saul Becomes jealous and plots Bis ! death, only to be foiled on different occasions, sometimes through the j instrumentality of his children. J David flees from the palace to es- 1 cape tne wratn ol tne king and is a fugitive until Saul s death. Eventually, he ascends the throne, recognized as the king of Israel. A great military leader, he wins the hearts of his people and extends their boundaries. Success and pros perity come to him and his people. David walked close to Jehovah, be ing a man after his own heart, save only in one great sin, that with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah, his captain, whom David had treacher ously killed in battle to possess the woman. Very dramatic is the story oi inis episode and the condemnation damage 'other existence and future applications for j 1"'' allotments. This seems to be a practical suggestion. Obvipusly, local committees are fn a position to know, or to ascertain, the facts relating to dependence and can easily establish the truth or fal sity of the claim or dependents. Our Schools Serve Democracy With the opening of the schools of Perquimans County near, it might ibe well for parents and teachers to do a little thinking about the pupils that present a problem to both of them. Children going to a school system should not be regarded as raw ma terial to be subjected to certain definite processes in the expectation that the finished product can be cer tain or standardized. Factors of in heritance and environment combine to make each child a special subject requiring, more or less, individualiz ed treatment Parents who expect a school and its teachers to take a rough specimen of untrained humanity and develop it into a polished human being are looking for a good deal. They must not expect the school to take ttu place of the home and the church. The guidance that a teacher can give to' a pupil is valuable and necessary but it should not replace entirely all function of parents. . Teachers, on the other hand, fac ing a mass of little human beings in their classrooms, should not over look the importance of identifying each pupil as a separate and distinct human entity. . II .

Absalom, his be loved son, headstrong and impetu ous, causes him trouble and eventu ally leads a rebellion against his father. Adonijah, another son, does likewise. Once David flees for his life from his royal palace, mocked at by some of his contemptuous subjects. As death drew near the rivalry of two sons for the throne about to be va cated brought unrest to his last few days. Solomon, son of Bathsheba, was selected by David lo succeed, himself. common schools which offer educa tional opportunity to all children up on practically equal terms. The schoolhouse, in our opinion, is the bulwark of democratic processes, which should be understood, re spected and observed by officials and teachers, as well as by students.

Due to the shortage of labor, and the necessity of making a service charge -for1 cutting off water, we urgently request all water customers to inspect water pipes now and to install new cut-offs in places easy to get at, in order that customers may do this service themselves. If you now have a cut-off, see that it is in good condition or install a new one. Winter is not far away, and when it comes it will mean frozen watery pes. Be prepared tb cut off leaking piprs. It will save this Department trouble and will save you money. Town Of Ef0rtforu WATER DEPARTMENT iafMMlMVV'ieIWNMaMNCsvi 111 -- if. iiSi-y-Wrwiuaj TWO MASSES IN ST.
