H. Y. BELK ?And His. Mews of Nebo Valley I went up town Saturday aft er staying home 30 days. I was surprised to meet so many of my dear old friendq, There was Law rence Mauney, J. R. Davis, Tom* mle Roberts, the Editor, and his congenial bunch and so many others. All glad to see the old news bunch. Mr. J. R. Davis had some nice compliments in my iavor. A lew cranky people kick me and the paper,* but we give it to you Just the same. v We wouldn't feel , right if we didn't have you to kick us. Oh, for mer cy sakes, look how much better the paper's getting. Why only yesterday Jack Wells told me how he enjoyed the Herald. Said he, with the new Editor, the pa per has become 90 percent bettct Mr. Davis told me only yester day that my column w6s inspir ing. I met Mr. Miller who is ta king lessons under Brother Dav is We hope he soon becomes a real up-to-dat^ lawyer. He has a fine teacher of the old school. k Why 1 didn't get to town dur Ing the last 30 days? The heat burned me down. I had to stay close to the spring. As the weather cools off I hope to meet a host of ______ my up ? town friends. Mr. Alexander visited in Gro ver the past weekend. Mr. C, J. Gault and Sons are my everyday friends. They work so hard to maintain the very best store. They sell it. They don't buy it to keep. I called in Saturday. They take the Herald and read it twice before they throw it down. They ^r- L. T.

I haven't had a winner for weeks. Why don't you give up, Joe asked? Give up? I can't Its my living. You old drunk, what you staggering around out here for? I'm a man. The little fellow replied hotly. All right, how do you know you are a man. Because my wife is afraid of mice. They are soon to investigate I am told, everybody's Income tax report to find an unreported dime. They are going in every body's closet to discover the skeltons. which they will shake and rattle. Yes. it was Tom Jefferson who declared, "We should place e conomy among the first arid most important virtues of our land. Why don't Congress learn that sheep can be sheared every year but skinned only once. Take it easy. You voted for the Presi dent you wanted. We'll bet that the boys who fought in the ice and snow In Korean mountains won't vote for the Truman- Ache son forces. They found no great difficulty in getting us into the Korean War, but they admit now that they do not know how to get us out of it. The Selective Service extension passed last month now provides for a total of 8 years of obligated service to who and whom. Right now is the time to begin picking candidates. A comic historian tells us the three greatest catastrophes of the century: 1. World War One; 2. World War Two; 3. This ha berdashery hell - born Korean War. The people have been mes merized into fighting this much uncalled for dirty H. S. T. war. Fewer and fewer Americans have the faith they tried to find in H. S. T? the boss of the White House. Big difference. A statesman thinks he belongs to the State, and a politician thinks the State belongs to him, see?

In order to have, you must certainly save. It is not what you Make but what you save that counts. Make your deposits regularly. Open your savings account now. There is no better time. FIRST NATIONAL BANK Nobility of purpose is a worth less commodity unless air the free world now makes up its mind to do more than Just talk. We should make every effort to convice these countries that they must contribute far more, than they so far have. A donation of penicillin, or horse meat, or a regiment of the next best prize' troops in five, but we'll do very little to halt the advance of this hell-born Communism. None of these nations are as strong as the United State*. Most of them after World War II were pros trate. Not long ago 38 nations made offers of contributions to the U. N. forces in Korea,. Only 15 of these offers involved mil itary forces some 44,000 ground troops. And that was all the help from 38 nations, who say they joined with U. S. A. in a cru sade to insure freedom in a war-torn, world. Our Allies are sincere in their purposes, no doubt. But it would be far bet ter to have some concrete evi dence of that sincerity in the form of more troops, ships, and planes. We must be shown that these are concerned with more than the protection of their own borders. If not. we lose our fai th in these mops. Mostly what they want is free provender, clothes and free whiskey. So long as they get the money to buy cigarettes and their com modities. Why don't they grow their tobacco and whiskey, too, like we do? I put very little fai th in the other side of the world when it comes to helping Uncle Sam. Chairman William M. Boyle, Jr., Is trying to keep the promise he made two years ago to Nor thern leaders, when he came out and said fcpenly that a Democra tic President would be elected in 1952 without the vote of a single Southern State. If Mr. Boyle succeeds in driving all of the 137 electoral votes out of the party, he will kill any chance of electing a Democratic President next year. As to that unholy al liance, If our Senators and Re presentatives sometimes vote with the Republicans, who's the cause of It? None other than Harry Truman. He has driven them to it. It Is Truman, not the South, who has deserted the De mocratic South. The latest in sult to the South came in New York last month when Boyle sat on the platform at the New York party confernce and listened with obvious approval as Paul Fitzputric, Democratic State Chairman, made the most hellish attack yet ever directed at the South by a Democratic party leader. He's just a darn Tru man fool. We vote as we please, for who we please. I never have voted for Truman. I never will, se help me Harry. I could not be classed that big a fool in a cotton country like this. Again let us remind you that it was High Tax Harry who boasted 'I'll mow 'em down and plow em under and give 'em hell." Well, he's got plenty HELL to jive those who differ vVith him. S'ow ladies, are you going to vote to keep in office a man who Ihus gouges you and your fam ily. Oh, mercy, crying out loud. Its not hard to remember vhen the first telephone line vas built in Buford township, Union county. It was built to ev ?ry house who wanted a phone, ind most everyone did. That was jack in 1898 when the country lad nothing else. The cost was ight. The Company put them n your house for a flat rate of T5 cents a month. Spme farmers objected to having the lines go across their farms. One old far Tier said he, you needn't tell me pou can talk over that little old jlothes line, because I know you :an't do that. So finally the right-of-way agent asked him f he would consent to having the line go across his farm pro vided he could convince him It was not a fraud. So the agent ar foreman Installed a box in the >ld man's house and put up a temporoary line to a point down the road a half mile away. Being In a hurry, they didn't take time to ground the wire down the old road bed. Well, they got the man and his wife all roady for ihe phone test and just as they ivere about to begin talking, a sform came up. and a bolt of lightning struck the wire and knocked the man down.

'All went wild, but its fastly hawing over. What next, Dear Sis? It is a sad but a true realiza tion for this, our country that it has been deprived of the fine ser vices of our best General because of the < administration we put in Washington. Ti> quote formev Governor Thompson of Georgia: "Official Washington is drifting in a sea of confusion, inefficien cy, waste and extravagance." It is this group which caused Gen eral MacArthur to be relieved of his life-time job. As I see it Mac Arthur in himself was worth 10 divisions to the peace of mind of those In the path of spreading Communnism. No nation ever faced a more momentous hour of crisis than does America today. Without our borders a ruthless formidable foe is preparing as never before to annihilate us In his ambitious aim of world con quest. Within our very borders today lie the paralyzing forces of greed, corruption, crime, fal se Ideologies and indifference. Now we students of past hist ory do recall that a hundred years .ago, Lord MacCauley wrote a famous letter to M*. Randall of New York that the American Constitutional form of government in America would last about a hundred years. He was right, I fear. The hundred years are now passed and Pres ident Truman has surrendered our government to England and the Communists by the simple act of firing MacArthur, What you say?
