ONE man says: Times are not
good, but they will be better
some day, and in the meantime /
will just do the best I can and be
thankful that / can do that much
when the worlds topsy-turvy."
Another man says: Times are
awful. It's a struggle to keep
soul and body together. Every
thing is up in the air and | don't
know what we are coming to-"
Two sides of human nature
the optimistic and the pessimistic.
One man is enjoying life under
difficulties, doing his part to-
ward making the world happier
and leading it out OF the chaos
into which it has been plunged.
The other, his vision obscured
by the darkness cast by his own
shadow, sees only clouds where
the sun is beginning to shine.
Nothing satisfies him, because he
expects miracles in a day when
they do not exist. Nothing pleases
him, because he is unable
even to please himself. He is
here, can't help it, and wouldn't
if he could.
Each of us is one or the other,
or in between and don't know
which way to turn.
Think we'll before speaking
look twice before you turn.

If every wage Garner in Rock.
ingham were carrying all the
building and loan stock he could
handle, the housing shortage
would presently be wiped out.
The war splurge and initiation
should have taught our folks a
lesson and they should realize
the necessity for systematic saw
ing either through a savings
account at one of the four banks
here, or through the Richmond
County Building & Loan Associ-
alton.
This is not an advertisement
for the B. & L. But since the
prosperity Of a B. & L. reflects
itself in the prosperity of a com
munity, the two are naturally
linked, and have a common in
terest. There probably has not
been as much building operations
going on in Rockingham in years
as is the case right now. Houses
are going up in different parts of
town, and six Of these are direct.
" beng built through the local
B. & {. Instead Of six, there
should be sixteen going up now
by this method. A BEL. house
ought to be in every part of
town. And why not? All you
have to do is to join the monthly

cy. It is a great way to save
