Bcclealaatea 7:19. Am the Herald predicted. Kings Mountain did the expected and exA' ' needed its Bed Cross auota. Conarat f illations are thus In order to ChairBts J. E. Herndon, hie co-workere and each pereon who gave to this Worthy fond. Particularly, the Herald wishes to commend the negro eit- | Ueena of the Kings Mountain community for their response to this call. It shows a community consciousness on the part of our 'eolored citisens which is indicative of better things ftp corse from them and for them. Principal argument between the North and the South over the so-called Negro problem has been that the . North wishes to. force equality without concurrent requiring of responb0:>. . nihility. The two go hand in hand. ^ i and as the colored citizen, though ed& /' . meational advancement, begins to ae* *ept his responsibility as a citizen, ha will f}nd his rights as a United States eitisen are being infringed upon lees and less. ||f Remain Strong pvX / President Truman, in his Army day ' ; >t speech in Chiesgo, called for the nation to remain strong as the only rv , sure method of preserving peace. This wae much less a crystal ball PjTA -e'V ' ' 1_? zl ti, - - M ~ ,1 . tpvecil lUttU lb WM uxie uranu xfvw - ' < history. v. Unfortunately, man, though prop'v', greasing by leaps and bounds la tha; buaineaa of technologies! ' improveg?:i?~, ment, science and easier living, has R|fc?V V. ' not progressed much morally. He SpjSY)' / Still auderstands the law of force Sw?..,-. and power better than any other. Mr. Truman's plea is logical. The United States, for years committed BRp?-',-: to peace, with no imperialistic aims, g&w. must remain strong to gain respect for its views?which are likely to bal 'r anee the scales between international IpSVv, ealm and strife. K1-' *h? extension of a peace-time draft I ^^iW'^^fAbardly the answer, it seems, but Wfffif',' ' may be best until the situation levels HBpSjp*' off. Ah a permanent policy, the Herald is inclined to favor a year's comBpfcf..', ' pulsory military training for boys completing high school. There are naturally parental objections to such a program, but a year's military trainKjpV ing and discipline would be beneficial to the majority of American youth. Begardless of the moaire, America ' ' should never again teak peace throu* B&-. ; gh weakness, as she did following Egjr World War 1. Way Of Suicide The National Association of Manufacturers contends that the best way *? P'ovent inflation is to destroy price controls and enconrage prodncGovernment agencies estimate that aire is a demand for 17 million new MBe*& ears and that at best 1940 production will reach around three million ears. Hfvvv If six people try to buy every new t . ear there will bo a tremendous presBtoy;:;: sure on prices fixed by OP A. There Is no telling where the prices would Kl&V' :' go if the controls were abolished and BRgp./: " permission given for ears to be sold for what the market offers. *" When production catches up with demand, the danger of inflation will mm: "*anlah. Bat to remove price controls before production equals demand will KKfev".' be saieidal for the nation's economy. ?Bmithfield Herald.

Buei- pc ness firms would do well to do~~ fhe yo same, giving attention to their surroundings as well.

M 2K& a mw fain jl jtriiiuf Recognition Gratitude hae been defined bitterly as a lively anticipation <x future favors. Gratitude is a great deal more than that, but if s a fact that people do much more, also much better, when they know their efforts are appreciated. Genuine appreciation goes unexpressed sometimes, but people who don't express their gratitude are sure to miss some desirable future favors. Unselfish things people do for their country, for their home community, family or church, are not rightly done for praise. In fact, people who do noble things with < glory as the primary aim quite often miss the target. Shouts of hurrah 1 for a hero help other people more than they help him. The effect Is to inspire everybody to greater public service. The Danville Idea Danville, I1L, caahes in on this powerful influence. The Commercial-News, a Danville dally newspaper, keeps the idea alive. Every Monday morning the paper carries I a story about soma citizen who has performed a noteworthy public service. He is designated the "Man of the Week/* and the article tells why. It tells what the man did and other interesting things about htm. Selections are always on a basis ct public ssrvto* not personal achievement.
