Pam was thoughtful for a mo-

Jerry. I know IT. And you've
more than tried. You've accomp-
isned your purpose" Anger had
gone from her. No use pretend

Il wonder If she had money TO

worried about the girl, since her

President Roosevelt has arrogated
much to his own trend of thought when he
says that the American people had made
IAN unlimited commitment" that there shall
8 be free world. This is a presumptlous
statement absolutely at variance with the
facts for the American people have not
made any kind of commitment on this mat
fer ard certainly not an unlimited COM
mitment. Congress, only, representing the
people, can make such commitment, and
this should be borne in mind.

A DELE had been looking at

something almost too gay about
him as ne talked OF moneT. He
wasn't speaking Of II with the re-
greet and heavineSs Of men who
had lost il. Lenore, however, had
her mind on other things She
said:
sOh, Father, do you mean you
really won't object if I fall IN
love with someone who hasn't q
family tree 10 hang anything on?
Do you mean Il really? You've
always been so fuSsy about such
things, for Granny's sake II moth
ing else"
"Of course I mean It. Where did
you ever get such silly ideas Of
your dad? Ny concern has ever
been only for your good. And
Granny likes people vino do
things. That comes next 70 her
religion, bless her heart"

Lenore glowed. She said:

Stormy Hour
TERRY hurried through dinner.
y There were things ne had TO
attend to. He had been 60
ing through emotional fortunes,
humiliation, remoTSe. regret, and
had finally beaten them all He
had decided he would make the
victory complete that night
When Pam saw Jerry az her
door, her eyes grew cold, though
her heart uembled. L was going

against Jerry. With all mis- faults
and weaknesses ne was still the
man she loved.

Wait, Pam, Jerry said firmly,
putting his arm around her II

her into the living room Look,
Pam took her left hand,
which she was trying 20 draw
away from him. and slipped an
exquisite old ring on her third
finger, q large emerald IN an in

he was Stammering.
Comes down here and wants

she added with less anger, your
complete lack of conceit has
helped in your undoing. Of course,
girls want you. You're handsome

An Excellent Choice

Governor Broughton hardly could have
made happier choice than Major A. L.
Fletcher in naming a chairman for the
State Unemployment Compensation Com
mission.
Major Fletcher is especially equipped by
natural ability, character, training and
wide experience to perform efficiently the
duties of his new post.
Educated at Wake Forest and the Uni
versity of North Carolina he began his ca
reer as lawyer then entered newspaper
work, being connected at various times with
several leading State papers. After dis
tinguished career of service with the mill
tary forces during the World War period
he returned to civilian life as attorney for
the federal income tax division, later be-
coming chief of the department..
In 1921 he became connected with the
state insurance department. After several
years in this department, Major Fletcher
was elected state commissioner of labor in
1882 and was reelected in 1886 without op-
position. He resigned in 1888 to become
associated with the wage-hour division of
the United States Department of Labor
AS state labor comm sioner, Major
Fletcher was instrumental in securing the
passage of labor legislation regarded as be-
ing the most liberal of it's type in the South.
Under his administration great improve
ment was effected in the enforcement of
child labor laws and the relations between
industry and the department were placed
on firmer basis of understanding and CO.
operation.
His long experience in the field of la
Dor, and his training and experience in 9th
er fields give Major Fletcher an invaluable
background which should be of the highest
service to him as chairman of the State
Unemployment Compensation Commission.
No person in the State knows better than
he the whole field of North Carolina labor
and it's relation to the general economy of
the State.
Governor Broughton has made no ap-
pointment that seems to be more fitting
than the selection of Major Fletcher to
head the State Unemployment Compen-
sation Commission. - The Winston-Salem
Journal

Unlimited Emergency

The address of President Roosevelt on
American people in an effort to awaken
them to a sense of their duty to their ma
ton and their way of life.
It was also straight talk to Adolf Hit
Ter, in that he Informed Hitler that Ameri-
ca will not tolerate his aims for world do
minion
1t was straight talk to those who would
favor appeasement or peace at any price;
yet unfortunately there was nothing bitter
in his comment about the minority who ia
vor policy of isolation. The nation needs
unity of thought, unity of effort and unity
of purpose. To engage in denunciation of
those who do not agree with us is no way to
achieve unity.
The part of his address dealing with
capital and labor was what vast majority
of American people wanted to hear. With
his powers in declared unlimited emer-
gency President Roosevelt can put an end
to strikes which hamper our defense pro-
gram Surely he will use his power in that
instance.
He has the power to put the country to
work for defense and to iron out many of
the squabbles.
Unfortunately, there seems no ray of
hope that the war will end soon The only
hope of an early end to the war would
be British victory which all experts say
cannot be accomplished soon. Despite re-
victory in sight and even if there were
German victory it would only mean the be-
ginning of war for us because we could
never have peace with Europe under Hit

SHELTERS precautiOn
A friend of mine. who is build
ing new house, is considering
including an. air raid shelter in
it.
Most people who have heard
about his plans laugh at the idea.
They think it's silly to build an air
raid shelter when there is so lit
tie chance of America being
bombed.
"And BESIDES" he explains, II
may be living in my new house
for so years. don't believe any
more than you do, that America
is about to be bombed. But will
admit that I don't know what is
going to happen in the future and
it seems a good idea to take any
precautions that fit the times"
He may have something in that
argument.

We were gratified over the large enroll
ment at the Laurel Springs CCC camp a
week or so ago. After several careful in
spections of the camp and of the work
which the boys~are doing, we were con-
WINGED that this is one of the finest CCC
organizations in the state and that the i'm
provement and Identification work along
the Parkway is worthwhile. However, we
were becoming alarmed over the rapid de-
cline in the number of boys left at the camp
on the eve of the new enrolment period.
With nearly 200 boys now in the ranks,
the camp is again functioning at capacity
and is assured of being continued.
