The Republican, party in 1910
contains the equivalent of Eng
lands and Frances pro-Nazi
Munich appeasers of l938-the
men with the black umbrellas.
Mr.. WILKES current party con-
tains the men who think that
they can appease Hitler by max
ing a deal-the big businessmen
who were caught comforting in
secret with a notorious Nazi
agent, DR.. Westrick. Mr.. Will
kie's current party includes the
men who think that they can
ward off social reform by calling
the reformers Reds. Mr.. Will
kie's current party includes the
men who think that big business
should be allowed to capitalize a
grave national crisis for its own
private profit; that. somehow or
other, the country will muddle
through if only the party Of big
business and appeasement is
given an exclusive right to ham
die the defense program.
What has Mr.. WILKES current
party to offer America but more
Munichs, more appeasement
abroad, and more defeatism and
more reaction at home?
President Roosevelt and his
New Deal administration have
given America seven and a half
dynamic years of defense of de-
mocracy. President Roosevelt
has made America the symbol of
light in a darkening world. Un-
der President Roosevelt we are
going forward to complete the
mighty tasks which must be
achieved if America is to be de-
Tended and democracy preserved.

Chinook Winds

The chinook is wind which blows
from west or north over the Rocky
mountains, where it descends as
dry wind, warm in winter and cool
in summer. 1t is due to a cyclone
passing northward and continues for
a few hours to several days. In
Oregon and Washington the term is
sometimes applied to a warm, moist
southwest wind. The wind was so
called by the white settlers of As
toria because it came from the di-
rection of the Chinook camp.

North Carolina Church
Is Restoring Old Port

Restoration Of the quaint old sea-
port Of Bath, N. c., is giving to
modern America the haunts of
Blackboard the pirate, a church at
tended by early American colonists
and homes built more than two CEN
turtles ago.
Plans for restoring the historical
village are being pushed by the
Episcopal leaders Of the East Caro-
lima diocese. Their interest springs
from the Bath Episcopal church,
built in 1884, and recognized as the
oldest church building in the state
today.
Called 1.-THE Cathedral because
1t is ruled by the bishop, the build
ing still is in excellent condition
with original handmade doors and
hand-cut wooden pews. It is to be
restored and converted into ma
tional shrine.
A museum will be opened near
the church and the old Marsh house
near by, built in TIA, will be con-
verted into rectory.
OF great interest are the ruins Of
an old house near Bath creek where
Edward Teach Blackboard the pi-
rate"-is said to have lived during
his days of power. Ruins of his
ships may be seen there at low
tide.
Bath has grown little since it was
settled by white men about 1890.
