Abraham Lincoln to perform a duty
to humanity and free four million
human beings from slavery. This
man was a real hero inu heroic
times and deserves what he does
not receive, the alteration of every
black man in the United States of
America.
CRIME is CRIME:-We are in re-
ceipt of a news item that the first
person in the United States to own
a slave was Anthony Johnson, a
Negro in Virginia who obtained po-
secession of a slave by a court act
ion. History does not bear out
this fact for the item reads, the
slaves, prior to that time were
bonded servants and were given
their freedom after having paid
their debt, but whoever owned slav-
es, committed a crime and it was
wrong, whether the owners were
white or black or the slaves were
men of either race.
ADMITS VALUE OF NEGRO
VOTE:-John Temple Graves, not
ed white southern newspaper man
says that Negro vote in the north
is far more valuable than the white
mans vote in the south, in a speech
recently made before a large audi
ence, Graves was attempting to ar
ouse antagonism against the pas
sage of the Wagner Anti
Lynch Bill. The things which we
are interested in and is most sign
ificant is that the southern white
man admits the value of the Me-
gro vote and points out that if the
vote is given to the Negro in the
eleven southern states where he is
now disfranchised, it will destroy,
so he says, the democratic party.
In this, I do not agree, but it will
destroy the white mans futile sys-
tenn that denies the right of citiz-
enship.

ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS

The Senior English Class has just
completed course of study in which
a number of round table discussions
were given. Their informality made
the speaker feel more at ease, and
the conversational like manner in
which subjects were discussed made
it much more emphatic and appeal
ing to the audience. Everyone seat
ed about the table had a chance to
talk of the subject before the group,
which made it much more beneficial
as the opinions and facts Of each of
the group constituted an intelligent
discussion.
Our class was divided into five
groups, each was responsible for pre-
senting a round table discussion.
Some of the subjects discussed were:
(1) Possible Invasion of America.
(2) Netherlands
49, France
40 Germany
(5) Italy

think that the children will have to
have these diseases at some time, so
they may as well have them and have
it over. That notion had to be given
up long ago when it was found that
nearly all of these diseases are not
only very hard on young children,
but that they may leave some serious
after-effect.
"There is always danger that the
catching diseases-diseases due to
some sort of infection may leave
some permanent damage. It may be to
the eyes, weakening the vision; or to
the ears, so that the hearing is af-
fected; or to the heart, the kidneys or
to some other part of the system.

TELEPHONE PLAYS VITAL
PART In LIFE OF
NATIONS FARMERS
Instrument Saves Lives, Money
And Time For Three Million
u. S. Farm Families

Isolation is not a matter Of time or
place. 1t can happen anywhere. Many
an American home, in some serious
emergency, might be as isolated as a
cabin in the Canadian wilds-if tele-
phone service were to fail. This is
particularly true in the case Of three
million U. S. farm homes where the
telephone is considered as necessary
10 the average farm family as the
automobile, radio, electric lighting and
ether similar goods and services.
The instances in which the telephone
today serves the farmers Of America
are many. Hiring or exchanging help
and equipment, ordering household
goods, arranging deliveries of pro-
duce ready for market, and securing
assistance in emergencies are all ex-
pedited by use of Alexander Graham
Bells invention.
A farmers wife in Virginia recalls
that twenty-five years ago her sons
leg was caught in a moving machine
and so badly mangled that he was
bleeding to death. Here the telephone
played the role of life-saver by sum-
moning medical aid aid which
would not have arrived in time had
1t not been for the speed of telephone
service.
Such incidents, which in this day
and age can be multiplied many times.
illustrate the value of the telephone
to the farmer. But there is still fur
Their proof Of the faith Americas rural
families have in their telephones. Not
long ago 81 farm families made a
check of their calls for one month.
They found that each family averaged
90 calls during the month, al Of them
being business calls, 10 household
calls, 80 social and 9 Of miscellane-
GUS nature. Mrs. Farmer made the
largest portion Of those 90 calls, with
q total Of Sc. Mr.. Farmer was next
with 81, while the children and help
accounted for Is calls.
Those figures provide basis for de-
termining the great use the nations
farmers make of the telephone. AS a
time saver, money saver, a protec-
tor, and a comfort Alexander Bells
discovery has contributed and will
continue to contribute much to the
progress Of u. S. farmers.

SNOW HILL HIGH SCHOOL
BROADCAST
CHAMPIONSHIP AHEAD

That's the way it pears to me,
girls; championship ahead! The S. H.
H. S. fieldball team, having already
defeated three of the four county
teams, has high hopes of winning the
much-coveted championship of Wor-
cester County.
On Thursday of last week, the
Buckingham High girls travelled to
Snow Hill where they were met and
defeated by the home team. For the
first time in years the Snow Hill
girls ran up 24-0 score against the
B. H. S. girls who now hold the
county championship in fieldball.
Although the score would, under
most circumstances, denote little OPP
position, the Berlin girls put up a
good fight and showed their usual
spirit. The odds seemed to be against
them however, for the maroon and
black were all in the game, determin-
ed and confident.
No one was substituted for Snow
Hill during the game. The lineup was
as follows: Mabel Petit, c.; Margar-
ct Holloway, r. l.; Ellen Sirman,
L. l.; Maude Adams, R. w.; Myrtle
Wilmer, L. w.; Alice Powell, G. H.;

Here are some of them.
"First: Develop their resistance to
disease by intelligent care, paying

Second: Keep them away from all

every often the damage is not not
iceable at first but shows up in later
life when it becomes a very serious
handicap. For example-much of the
heart disease that occurs among grow

traced to illnesses from infectious di-
seases in childhood.

Germans Endeoyoring
To Reossure Balkans

BERLIN, Feb. 2 tP).-German
spokesman, intently watching the
Balkan entente conference at Bel
grade, made energetic efforts today
to convince the Balkan states that
they have nothing to fear from the
Reich. =
Official quarters echoed Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrops
statement yesterday that neither
Germany nor Russia plans military
action in Southeastern Europe
At the same time, it was insisted
that Britain and France want to
spread the war to the Balkins, with
the object of creating an eastern
front, which Germany sought to
prevent first by a non-aggression
pact with Soviet Russia and second
by swiftly crushing Polish resistance.
Germans frankly hope the Bal
kans will make an emphatic decla-
ration of military and economic
| neutrality.
One spokesman suggested that
England desires to involve Turkey
actively in order to line up the other
members of the entente-Rumania
Yugoslavia and Greece-and escape
the necessity of paying for war
supplies from the southeast.
If some of these states are In
VOWED in the conflict, Germany
said, they would be expected to
pool their economic resources with
the western powers.
1t was disclosed that DR.. Karl
Clodius, German economic expert
for Balkan affairs, was in Rome

Britain May Restrict
Exports to Rumonio

LONDON, Feb. 2 [P).-Great
Britain was reliably reported today
to be planning to cut export of goods
to Rumania as weapon in her
struggle with Germany for Ruma-
Man oil-prized war fuel.
| Britain, it was said, is planning
to permit export of goods Rumania
needs only to the extent that Ru
mania sends oil to Britain.
At the same time it was reported
that British officials were more
optimistic about early Qualification
and settlement of the uncertain Ru-
manian economic policy.
Economic discussions at the Bal
kan Entente meeting opening at
Belgrade today were expected to
have bearing on Rumania's atti-
tude toward sharing her supplies
with belligerent nations.
Fears that Germany was gaining
the upper hand over Rumanian eco
nomic policy, especially regarding
oil, led the British to slow exports
of materials from here. Resumption
was expected to be gradual, depend
ing upon the future division of oil
supplies among Germany and the
! Western allies.
British officials indicated they ex-
pect a Qualification of the entire
situation within a few days
Recent Rumanian developments,
including establishment of an oil
control commission by King Carol,
have aroused fears in Britain that
