The Movies War Job

When the first bombs fell on England,
the authorities decided Immediately to
close all places where people congregated
in large groups. One of the first actions
was to close all moving picture theaters.
But that didn't last long. There was so
much public anger, including rioting in
front of theaters, that within u hours af
ter the movies were ordered closed they
were all told to open up again. Ever since
then every moving picture theater has con-
tinued to be open.
Motion pictures have proven to be one
of the best nerve sedatives in England and
the movies in this country are already Of
fering relief from the news of the war.
Let us hope that the movie industry will
this year plan the best picture fare they
have ever offered-pictures which will act
as strong buffer against war nerves.

Your Rationing Board

Your local rationing board MEMBERS
like those of the draft board, are giving,
without any remuneration, their time and
effort, time that they could well spend on
their own business, in order to assist in the
war effort
The average citizen should do well to
remember this and be appreciative of the
service they are rendering instead of TAX
ing up additional time to ask favors OF
them which cannot be granted.
The public should realize that rubber,
gasoline and other rationed products are
necessary for the war effort and should
not make any attempt to secure an undue
amount of any Of these, lest they delay VIC
tory. In most cases, such attempts are
failures, anyway, and cause the loss of time
on the part of several individuals. In
some cases. when an individual does not
get what he wants from the rationing
board, he assumes an air of grievance a.
gainst the board members. Such an attl-
tude as this is unpatriotic and will certain
ly not help in the war effort. Every indi-

1913 And 1912

Germany is about to collapse on the

gian government-in-exile M. Delfosse re-
Gently escaped to London from German

But how far Gin 1872" That year of
ultimate doom for Imperial Germany be-
gan auspiciously. The peace of Brest-Lit-
ovsk, which removed Russia from the war,
finally sealed a second front and provided
the Central Powers with fresh food sup
plies, was signed on March 3, 1913. During
the spring of 1918 the German armies won
three great victories in the west. BY July
l they claimed nearly 100000 prisoners and
vast quantities of arms.
At this moment Allied fortunes were at
their lowest ebb Then, on July Ii, came
Foch's great counter-offensive The Ger
mans retreated from the Marine. The Hin
denburg line cracked and broke barely two
months later. Bulgaria sued for peace. On
November revolutions broke out in Kiel
and Hamburg. The Armistice was hours
away.
When Germany collapsed last time the
breakdown came with surprising and I'M
predicted swiftness. In mid-1918, however,
she had seemed on the verge of victory.
German morale did not crack until the re-
treat from the Marine. It had risen sue
cessively with each of the three victories
of the spring. It collapsed with the first
real reverse.

Hitler's failure at Stalingrad has wrecked
his chances for victory in 1912 but this is
no guarantee that his doom, while inevita-

be guilty of wishful thinking. Germany
will be on the verge of collapse only when
she is beaten decisively in the field. Until
then it is touch and go, the easy parallels

Not A Get Rich War

When we hear stories about how rapid
ly the incomes of the people Of this coun-
try are rising, many of us, who have not
been benefited by war-made prosperity,
wonder why we have been passed by. Ma
ny of us know of individual cases among
our friends and acquaintance who have
gone elsewhere to work and report big
increase in their income.
There might be some comfort in know
ing that these are comparatively few and
that there are far more who are having to
get along on what they were NAL king be-
fore the war. And as matter of, fact, Is
per cent of the people are earning less than
they did six years ago, according to Stats
tics
An analysis of present incomes in all
sections of the country, made by DR..
George Gallup, shows that there are 81 per
cent of us who are making no more mon
ey than we did six years ago. The other
80 per cent have increased their income
considerably, but even with the greatest
total prosperity this country has ever had,
about half of the nations families have an
income under $35 week and only 20 per
cent of the families get $50 or more week.

Scrap Wanted Now

The three weeks period of the concen-
trated drive for scrap comes to close
October 81 We still have another week
to 90 and much to be accomplished in that
time. And the time element is important
in the scrap drive. Uncle Sam is asking
for every bit of scrap metal and rubber
YOU have, now, so that he can quickly
furnish the boys on the battle fronts with
what they need right NOW, not at some
future date when we at home shave more
time" to collect it.
If your son or your neighbors son, who
is somewhere in active service, would
write home and ask that you contribute an
old. useless stove that he might have am
munftion to carry on. this war, you would
not hesitate for a moment. This is just
what Uncle Sam is requesting you to DO IN
order to help all of the boys who are fight
ing for democracy.
This county has another reason for turn
ing in scrap now, for the newspapers OF
North Carolina are awarding $4,000 in
prizes for the contest which ends Oct. Fl.
Ashe county must step up her collection
this final week if the county is to make
relatively good showing with the states
other SO counties in the contest. This coun-
ty is not in the habit of tagging behind and
we do not believe it will at this time.
We are told on good authority that
shortages of steel and iron scrap at steel
mills during one week in September have
accounted for the loss of 10000 tons of
steel production according to the Ameri-
can Iron & Steel Institute.
This loss equals the loss of three 10000
ton cruisers which could have been built
with the steel, and represents almost as
serious a setback on the production front
as if three heavy cruisers had been sunk
bv the Jap or Nazi submarines.
Even more serious than the loss of 30
900 tons of current production is the short
age of some 100000 tons in the industry's
scrap stockpile which must be made up by
January l to insure continued production.
Industry must be kept going to supply
our fighting men with materials and we
must turn in our scrap NOW.

eff My people which are called
by My name" God lays the re-
sponsibility upon the Christians
to heal the world from sin. The
cleansing of the world must be-
gin with the people of the church
who are called by MY NAME.
"Shall humble themselves, and
pray, and seek My face, and turn
from their wicked ways" These
words were spoken to Gods peo-
pie who are called by MY NAME.
The pride of the Christian church.
es today must be changed to hu-
mility. The prayerless lips must
seek God fervently. The Christ
ians must turn away from the
faces of their idols today-their
money-their selfish purposes
their pride of intellect-their po-
sitions, and seek the face of God,
above all these. The Christian
churches today must turn from
their sins-their wicked ways.
Here is the results of the
Christians turning to God:
"Then will hear from Hea-
ven." The prayers of Gods peo-
pie must not be heard today. God
promises our prayers shall be
heard again if we turn in true re-
pentance.
"Will forgive their sins" Yes,
will forgive the sin of the church
people, not the world.
"And will heal their land" Is
this not what our United States
wants today? The bitterness OF
parties, the dishonesty and fraud
carried out by both great parties
of our country, bribery, injustice
of courts, selfishness of labor and
capitalists, race hatreds, greed,
adultery, and drunkenness. Yes,
the hearts of the individual must
be cured before we can cure the
greater cancers of our nation.
The world must be cured, too, in
the self same way. Then the
sword will be laid aside and men
will live in peace and uprightness,
calling his neighbor brother rath-
er than enemy, helping him rath-
err than slaughtering him.
Think it over, Christians. The
healing of the nations and the
land must begin with the PEG
pie who are called by GODS
NAME. The recipe for a cured
land, and world is found in the
above verse and the cure must
begin with GODS PEOPLE WHO
ARE CALLED BY HIS NAME.

100000, he would pay $4,O49,988.
Corporations would pay "a per
cent on incomes up to $25, 900, 46
per cent on the next $4,000, and
corporations with incomes Of
more than $4,000 would pay 40
per cent on the full amount. All
corporations would hand over to
the treasury 80 per cent of their
excess profits, in excess of $4,000.
Excess profits are determined by
complicated formula with the aim
being to take in taxes virtually
all profits beyond a fair return
on investment.
The purpose of the new and
higher rates, is of course, to fl
nance in part the stupendously
costly war effort, and to remove
from the people an excess of pur-
chasing power, which has threat
ened to produce initiation.

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
I am taking the liberty and
pleasure of writing to my old
home newspaper. Although I
have not been taking it, I get to
read it very often for you would
not think that so many boys read
the good old Post, but I always
manage to dig up a copy some
where.
have heard several boys COM
plain about not getting enough
letters. A soldier looks forward
to letter just as much as he does
pay day. 1 think that everyone
that has a friend or loved ones in
the Army should write often and
try to cheer them up little. The
boys here at Camp Croft and ev-
cry other camp are getting ready
to lay down their lives if need be
for their country and friends.
So let's let them know that the
people back home are backing
them up by writing and telling
them SO. And don't forget those
Bonds. Millions of dollars that
are paid to soldiers are going in
to War Bonds, so Buy Bonds and
More Bonds.
I am sending a little song that
we boys sing. It is sung to the
tune of the old Marine Song.
Here it is:
THE M. P. SONG
From the halls of Montezuma
And across the seven seas,
Every serviceman on liberty
Loves to meet those nice M. P.'s.
If your tunic is unbuttoned
And your shirt waves in the
breeze,
They will gladly help you tidy up
And will bless you if you sneeze.
In the history of America
If you follow their career,
They have never had friendly
word,
From the boys who hold them
dear.
If the Army and the Navy
Ever get the devils keys,
They will find that He'll is guard

IF My people which are called
by My name, shall humble them
selves, and pray, and seek My
face, and turn from their wicked
ways; then will hear from Hea-
ven, and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land" II
Chron. TIA.
What mess the world is in
today! The Christian points at
the rest of the world and says,
eyes, the world is so sinful God
has to punish it." But Christian
be not too quick to judge the I'M
churched people of the world.
Lay not too much blame upon the
people who are not Christians.
To do so puts us in the shoes of
the self-righteus Pharisee who
stood before God and scorned the
sinner with his words, God, I
thank Thee, that I am not as other
men are, extortioners, unjust,
adulterers, or even as this publ
can" This is the fault with the
world today. The Christian
Church is shining. Within her
folds sin lies uncovered. Within
her heart today, scorn, jealousies,
pride, hatreds lie buried to hinder
the working of Gods love. The
reason the world is in the mess
we are in today is not just the
worldly peoples doings, it is also
the Christian peoples not doings.
Why have we not let our lights
shine? Why have we not leaven-
ed the masses of the world with
Christian love and teachings?
This alone is one of the greatest
sins-the sin of not doing.
The Christian people have let
the world go to the Devil and it
is the Christian people who have
got to take it back from the Devil.
