AS the fall season advances, the
community should be giving thought
to the idea of the Vance County
Community Chest. Last autumn
action was postponed from time to
time until finally the project was
entirely abandoned, and the chest
has not been in operation this year
al all
Differences of opinion have eX-
isted about what agencies should be
admitted to the budget. Some
thought one or more should not
share in the support made available,
and held to the idea that too many
fingers were in the pie. The result
in some cases was diminished Civ
ing on the part of section of citi-
zenS.
Whethe" these divergent opinions
will figure in the success or failure
of the undertaking this fall remains
to be seen But those responsible
! for its projection should not wait too
! long to reach a definite conclusion
about the course to be pursued. 1t
is already not too early to give
thought to plans for the campaign.
A chairman must be selected, date
for the drive agreed upon, the budget
determined, and beneficiares of the
charity must be set out we'll in ad-
vance if the success desired is at
tanned.
Economic conditions will to some
! extent be Il factor in the planning.
! The outlook in that direction is more
promising now than it was few
months ago, and, while trade may
not be what many would desire, pros
poets are for a fair volume for the
season. 1t will certainly be suffi-
Gent to support the Community
: Chest if fairly general agreement
can be had as to plans and methods
Of procedure.
The first thing to be decided is
whether or not the chest idea will be
continued. In the two years it was
carried on here, it developed good
and bad features, but the financial
support accorded was evidence that
a goodly number of citizens fell
the advantages were perhaps great
er and that the Jumping of all chart
ties into Il single giving offered the
opportunity of avoiding continual so
Letting for this cause and that.
There are so many angles to the
undertaking that they cannot all be
disposed OF at a single brief, hap
hazard meeting of interested persons
That is why an early start should be
had, and why it is essential If the
scheme is to be worked successfully
II responsible leaders wait until mid
November or early December to make
beginning, the effort is half lost a
the outset.

able enemy.
 Aside from United States foreign policy, most Italians had felt per- sonal bitterness toward the president because of his uncomplimentary re- marks about Italy, especially his dagger in the back" speech.
 (On the day Italy entered the war President Roosevelt said in a speech at graduation day exercises at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville: "On this 10th day of June, 1940, the hand that held the dagger has struck 1t into the back of its neighbor.")
 What was regarded as the unsym- pathetic attitude of the president toward Italy was all the more re- sented because Fascists hold that his social reform program was largely copied from Facist reforms insti- tuted years ago. Hence hostility to Italy, 1t was argued, made the pres- ident appear to be "demo-plutocrat" whose social measures were merely political maneuvers.
 Wnab NeEmaHy Gnlnkb
 Berlin, Nov. 6-(UP)-The voting which resulted in the reelection of President Roosevelt shows how in- terested are the United States peo- pie in the question of intervention or non-intervention in the present war;" authorized German quarters said today.
 Tn the first formal comment on the election, authorized sources said intervention twas the issue which was placed in the forefront by both candidates"
 "Roosevelt's reelection is regard ed cooly and objectively by the the Wilhelmstrasse," 1t was said. Tt is not considered important from the inner German viewpoint. The form of dts government and its elec- tions are United States matter" l"
 Authorized quarters said Germans regarded the election with interest but we see no reason to continue doing anything else but being inter- ested spectators"
 Whatever Roosevelt does towards making effective his promises and statements made throughout the campaign is a question of time and cannot be forecast" 1t was said.
 Government spokesmen earlier had declined to comment.
 Japan Disappointed
 Tokyo, Nov. 6.-(UP)-Japanese expressed disappointment today at the indicated reelection of Presi- dent Roosevelt, believing that 1t was an endorsement of his firm policy toward Japan.
 There had been hope that a change of administration might mean a re-orientation of American Far Eastern policy. Now no prospect was foreseen here of an alleviation of strained relations.

UAS AHlCElChLl QSClSlOus GSTIldIly cannot mistake its implications. It is one of growing number of signs that the tide is setting against tyr- amy and will finally engulf it."
 Roosevelt stays at the helm," said the conservative Evening News Tt is Q measure of his greatness that he thus makes history. Roose- welt and Willkie were against one another but they were both united against Hitler. They both knew that the frontier of America was now on the Thames. Every vote cast was vote cast against Hitler, and Hitler knew that whoever won the election he would lose It."
 Typical Headlines
 Typical of the headlines across the tops of the first pages were:
 Roosevelt elected again." "U. s. Has Third Term President for First Time in History" Roosevelt Vic- torious" and "Key States Swing to United States Churchill"
 The feeling was general among Britons that the United States had dealt a smashing blow to Hitler.
 They saw the prospect of immed- late and substantial increase in American aid to Great Britain.
 They saw also new American indictment of totalitarianism and a reaffirmation of Democratic ideals.
 Both Pledged Aid
 It had always been emphasized that both the president and Wendell L. Willkie had pledged aid to Britain against Germany and Italy. But generally Britons had strongly fa- vored MT. Roosevelt because he, in his official capacity, had vigorously condemned aggressor nations and proved his readiness to transform words into action. They regarded Williies promises as sincere but some quarters had shown frank dis trust of some of Willkie's supporters who, it had been asserted were an- ti-British.
 Now, Britons felt Americans like they themselves, would forget rival ry and submerge party feelings. They felt also that the president, freed of prediction political responsibilities, might now adopt an even more vig- orous stand in support of the Brit tSh cause.
 Italy Is PesSimistic
 Rome, Nov. 6-CUP)-Italian ex- pressed pessimism today over the future of Italian and German rela- tiors with the United States as the result of the aunarent election vic. tory of President Roosevelt.
 The view was expressed that the president would lose no time in whipping up war fever" in an ef- fort to take the United States in- to the war on Great Britain,s side.
 It was not believed among Ital- fans that the United States was pre- pared to make its weight felt mill itarily in the war for several months, at least. But it was held that from the long range viewpoint, the United States might eventually be a formid-
