To the Editor of The Robesonian:
l am asking you for space in your
paper and sincerely hope you'll pub
lish the following:
The time has come when Robson
county should be proud Of her boys
who came up like men when their
country called and enlisted in the U.
S. army when it became evident that
we must go to war with Germany.
It seems as the people Of Robson
county have forgotten US.
Why can't she do as well as other
States and counties have done? They
are all sending the boys service and
comfort kits and different things, to
show their pride in the boys. Should
not Robson county do something to
show she is proud Of her boys and al
so to encourage them? I anna North
Carolinian, Of Robson county, and
think the people should do something
to encourage the boys who are now
with the colors.

they can, but maybe some little per

been lacking. In some places when

How Does Town Government Jus.

To the Editor Of The Robesonian:
It is generally supposed that the
purpose Of government, national State
or municipal, is the protection of its
citizens and, inter ALA, their morals
How does this theory accord with il.
cense granted by the municipality of
Lumberton to the numerous games of
chance especially prohibited by State
law? On what ground can they sem
