RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, death has come as
it must to all men, to Brother
Troy Isaiah Jones, a loyal and
much esteemed member and for
mer Secretary of our Lodge; and
WHEREAS, the passing of Bro
Their Jones has brought sorrow in
to the ranks of the brethren who
survive him:
NOW, therefore. be it resolved
by Ashe Lodge Number GIL of
Ancient, Free and Accepted Ma
sons, that we extend to the fami-
ly, relatives and friends of our
deceased brother, our deep and
heartfelt sympathy in their loss
which we share with them in
full measure; that we treasure in
grateful memory the friendly
philosophy and kindly humor of
a man and a Mason who loved
mankind, ever avoiding malice,
rancor and hatred; that from his
life and his death, we ourselves
learn to live more unselfishly so
as not to succomb to the tempta-
tons of unseemly greed for gain
or unwholesome and excessive
ambition, thinking more and more
of scattering smiles rather than
tears, and promoting not discord
but a closer and enduring bro
therhood.
Be it further resolved that a
copy of this Resolution be sent
to the brother of our friend and
fellow member in whose home he
passed on; that copy be pub
lished in The -Skyland Post,
whose pages his Column bright
ened; and that a copy be spread
upon the permanent records, of
our Lodge.

home of Emory Edwards in the
Edwards Cross Roads section 10
miles north of here.
Mrs. Betty Edwards, Sc, i'll and
unable to arise from bed, and her
invalid daughter, Miss MattiesEd-
wards, 33, persisted in the fire
that consumed the two-story
frame structure in which they
lived. q
Emory Edwards was working
in field near the home. He said
he did not discover the fire ,un-
til the entire structure was III a
blaze.
Edwards said he was unable to
get into the dwelling and rescue
his wife and daughter who were
in room on the lower floor.
The bodies of the two women
were found in their beds.

discover the origin Of the fire.
He said he was unable to remove

OppOsitiOn Active

The out-and-out opposltlonlsts
to the aid to Britain program are
forming under the leadership OF
Senator Wheeler of Montana and
LaFollette of Wisconsin. MIR.
Wheeler describes President
Roosevelt's proposal for the
"lend-lease" plan as ''idiotic." He
recently told New York delega-
ton of the American Peace Mobl-
lization calling at his offices IN
Washington: Il would rather give
them (the British) supplies.
When you lease or loan you are
buying an interest in the war.
"Some people say it is our war.
If it is our war, how can we just
ify lending them stuff and ask
ing them to pay us back If it is
our war, we ought to have the
courage to go over and fight 1t,
but it is not our war"
This isolationist group may be
able to,modify some of the aid to
Britain proposals, but they are
certainly due for a stormy time
of it. Already, they have been
called "appearers" in a way just
short of TRAITORS" And worse
may follow. But there is strong
sentiment in the country behind
them which may make itself felt
in many ways before Congress
adiOurnS.
