Why Belligerent?

A survey has been made by John Tenn
pie Graves of Birmingham to determine
why the south is more belligerent than the
rest of the country.
"Southerners," says Mr.. Graves, "dont
necessarily want to fight, but they don't
mind very much, and they do think they
have things worth fighting for. They got
themselves into this frame of mind and
heart by having lot of trouble and being
sorry for themselves and not too sophisti-
Gated"
Yes, the south is quick to fight for its
rights. And there is realization OF what
it means to be conquered. For this rea-
son when we go into fight we throw ev-
erything we have into the fray.
Some things are worse than war. We
would not fear war, but we would dread
living under nazi tyranny. For that reason,
southerners are far from reluctant to fight
a war in choice between the ideals we up
hold and the force Of arrogant dictators.
Southerners will always fight to retain
liberty and freedom.

Business AS Usual!

The first duty of every American citi-
zen, every farmer, business and profession
al person, is to help our great country win
the war and preserve individual freedom
in the world.
In the accomplishment of this goal, there
is a definite task for every person to per-
form. Our young men are called to serve
in our first line of defense for victory. All
others must serve efficiently in the second
line of defense
Modern warfare requires tremendous
quantities of machinery and equipment. In
dustry must produce these implements.
Agriculture must produce food. Business
must be operated as near normal as pos
sible.
In other words, we as individuals on the
home front have heavy responsibilities. we
must buy defense stamps and bonds, con-
tribute to the Red Cross war relief fund,
serve on civilian defense committees and
in any other capacity in which we are
called to serve. At the same time we must
continue to do business as nearly normaras
possible.
To finance this war costs gigantic sums
of money and the only way the govern
ment can get this money S through taxa
ton and loans Therefore, it is imperative
that income be maintained so that the peo-
pie can bear the heavy financial burden.
) Yes, during this war it is more important
than during the World War number one
that we keep the home fires burning That's
your Job and ours. Let's do it!

I - 5000 s3e-ss,.-
] several times a delegate to the
General Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church.
This list shows how broad and
varied were his public activities
and interest; how consistently he
was trusted by his associates; and
how wide was the field of SER
vice in which he labored through
the years.
Yet had he held none of these
positions, his life still would have
been an outstanding success. No
man was ever more devoted to
his family nor more deeply res
pected and loved in the family
circle. No man in the life of Ashe
county has ever won more de-
voted circle of personal friends. A
number of men stood by his grave
and said one after another. "He
was the best friend I ever had"
Was his life free from criti-
cism? No, such freedom is not the
way of the world. However, one
who knew him well said that the
chief criticism made of him was
that he would 60 too far for a.
friend. No doubt He who said
greater love hath no man than
this" will forgive him should this
be found to be fault in the fin
al checking of accounts.
Others said that he was man
with strong opinions and convic-
tons. He was. He had "opinions
and will" He did not hesitate
to defy the demagogue or open
ly to oppose what he considered
the forces of evil. Good govern
ment, law and order, educational
progress, temperance, religious
growth were with him a passion
things to believe in and to do
something about.
In the last few months of his
life, he found in the Rotary Club
kindred spirits and ideals which
fitted his fine philosophy of life
In its motto, Service above SELF"
he found the key note of his own
existence. His last days were
among his happiest. His last pub
lie utterance on Fellowship" was
a classic which will live in the
hearts of his fellows. Fresh from
such fields, he went fearlessly for
ward to meet his Pilot face to
face.

Merry Christmas!

Whether we want to or not, most OF us
will have TO admit that the war has gotten
on our nerves. The suddenness and deceit
of being stabbed in the back have made us
mad and the vast and complex worldwide
battlefronts have confused our minds.
Hence, it is most fortunate that Christ
mas time has arrived for this is one sea-
son of the year that causes every true
American to realize that the spirit OF the
Christ child is the only thing which really
counts in life It is also time to be gay
to rejoice, to celebrate and in its obserV-
ance this year we feel that most effective
purpose may be accomplished
This year our minds and hearts Will be
deeply touched by the songs OF the Angels
"peace on earth, goodwill toward men
Since there is very little peace on
earth, we realize, more than ever before
the great blessings of peace and re-deol-
cate ourselves to its establishment.
Men everywhere have been drawn close
together through common cause Our love
for country, our devotion to the rights OF
individual freedom and liberty are Tore
most in our minds today.
We are grateful for the life of the Christ
We are grateful for friends We are CRATE
full for our. country and its institutions, tor
the Christian ehasch, the freedom of assem-
bly,, the freedom of speech and the freedom
Of press.
To our readers, every member OF the

the world because of power-mad leaders.
Countries have been plunged into war to
cause loss of life, destruction of property,
and hatred. All of which could have been
avoided if these same leaders had followed
the teachings of the Christ.
Here in America we can still retain this
Christmas spirit, even though our country
is in this war of world revolution. We say
revolution, because the world seems to
have revolted to some extent from "the
new and greatest commandment"
Here in America we can still think of
others and have this expression of goodwill.
There will always be Christmas if we aid
those less fortunate than ourselves.

The Christmas Spirit

Christmas time is time of goodwill.
This spirit perrneates each community and
individual as the.day draws near when we
observe the birthday anniversary of the
Christ child.
Down the, years this outer expression and

been retained. At this one season of the
year, the desire s'to give and help others
rather than to receive.

sumed command himself. Many
point out that it is definite in
dication of the weakening of the
organization or a definite admit
lance on the part of Hitler that
his forces in Russia are beaten
and every effort is being made to
save the remains.
Churchill's arrival in Washing

plans are to be made to encom-
pass "the defeat of Hitlerism

It is reported that their discus
sions will include unified plans
for U. S., Britain, Russia, China
and the Netherlands. Just how
Mr.. Churchill made the journey

The Most Beautiful
Christmas Story of All

And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping
watch over their flock by night,
And, 10, the angel of the Lord came upon
them, and the glory of the Lord shone
round about them; and they were sore
afraid
And the angel said unto them fear not;
for, behold, I bring you good tidlngs OF
great Joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day, in the city
of David, a Savior, which is Christ the
Lord
And this shall be a sign unto you; We
shall find the babe wrapped IN swaddling
Clothes lying in manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel
a multitude of the heavenly host praising
God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
peace. goodwill toward men.

This means that any farmer
who did not sign a farm plan or
place an order for lime or phos-

came to see him in November,
should call at the county agents
office before December 81, if he
wishes to have his farm in the

About 1000 farmers in the
county have not signed this plan
and the county office is sending
most of these producers a letter

Hitting While Down

The Jap war leaders are crafty, fiesty,
conceited little men, and also they are with
out scruples. This has been proven in their
uncourageous attack upon Pearl Harbor
and will be brought out as the war pro-
crosses.
Now comes news that Japanese warcraft
sunk freighter in the Pacific and then
shelled and sunk three lifeboats. This type
of act is appalling to the American way
of thinking because we always fought with
the idea to never hit man when he IS
down." But the Yellow Japs will shell a
Hfeboat when these men can already be
considered out of action.
The Japs, then, might in the same way
shoot pilot descending in a parachute,
bomb hospital, or fire upon an ambulance.
Such war leaders seem bent on an annihi-
lation of those they oppose and this they
might attempt if successful in war. Ger
tainly, conquered peoples so far have found
out they are but slaves to the totalitarian
heads
