BlackOut On Worship

"A Mighty Fortress is Our God z. =. . on
earth is not His equal" ...
3, Thus sang thousands of Norwegians
when barred from their house of worship
by Nazi police because they refused to at
tend a service at which pro-Nazi minis
ter was to speak, yet turned out en- masse
to their cathedral for regular services.
The barring of the reverant Norwegians
from worshiping God in their own choos-
ing drew a protest from Bishop Eivand
Berggrav, primate of the Church of Nor
way, which includes 81 per cent of the
country's population. This protest caused
the good Bishop to be placed in concen-
tration camp. :
When LOO of Norway's clergymen
left their pulpits, the traitorous Quisling,
Hitler's minister-president" set dead
line for their return, which the ministers
ignored. Several were arrested.
When Quisling authorized laymen to
preach, few responded. Now more than
1000 Norwegian churches are empty,
thanks to Hitler and his stooge, Quisling.
Hitler thinks strong-arm methods will
accomplish all he sets out to do, but he has
overstepped his bounds this time. He can
not make a conquered peoples worship as
he would see fit.

The Asheville Citizen
Name For The War

Do YOU have a name for World War
II?
At the request of President Roosevelt,
who explained that he did not particular
ty like "World War II, large number
of names have been submitted to the White
House for the global conflict that is now
being waged on nearly all waters and ev-
cry strip of land on this globe and in the
air.
After examination of these sugges-
tons, "War of SurvivaT' or "Survival War"
has been tentatively selected as being the
most apt title Names used in this coun-
try to describe World War I included a
''war to end wars and a "war to make the
world safe for Democracy.
Those titles have stuck in the history
books, but we doubt seriously if Survival
War; will stick this time. AS matter of
fact all wars are wars of survival OF one
thing or another. The thing that counts
most is ''survival of what?"
The outcome of this war will deter
mine whether freedom or slavery shall
survive; whether Democracy or Dictator
ship shall prevail as system of govern
ment; whether the ideals of man and the
principles of Christianity or greed, sell
fishness and paganism shall dominate the
earth.
Unquestionably those are the major
issues at stake. They are very much the
same issues that were involved in the first
World War and it will be virtually impossi-
BILE to prevent this struggle from being de-
scribed by historians as World War H. be-
cause it is largely continuation of that
war.
In this connection, DR.. Archibald Hen
derson, noted educator at the University
of North Carolina, has suggested a name,
"War for independence" and has written
twelve-point declaration that is COM
handing widespread attention. A digest
of this declaration appears elsewhere in
this issue.
All readers of this newspaper who
have other names to suggest are invited
to send them to us and they will be re-
printed, and prize awarded to the person
submitting name that is chosen by our
judges.
What name would you give the present
conflict? Send us one today.

cover their respective territories.
The signal denoting the end of a
blackOut is - straight two min
utes sound of whistle or siren.
TURN OFF LIGHTS
Other rules and suggestions Of
fered by the committee are:
1t is suggested that in each
town, some one be stationed at a
concealed light to receive the all
clear signal and flashes and to no
tify others. This applies especial
ly to WarrenSville and Lansing.
No one is supposed to use any
telephone during the blackOut
unless in case of emergency.
All lights are to be turned off
when the blackOut signal is
heard.
All persons who ordinarily
leave their lights on when leaving
their places of business will on
Friday night, put out their lights

On The Offense!

After over four months since Pearl
Harbor four months of defeat four
months of camp training and war produc-
ton four months of anxious waiting -
all America was highly elated with the
good news from Japan last Saturday that
high-flying allied planes had heavily
bombed and did considerable damage to
four Jap cities, including Tokyo, the
worlds third largest city and the nerve
center of japanese aggression in the Pac1-
fic.
That was indeed "sweet revenge" and,
best of all, it proves that America is a.
bout ready to take the offensive, not only
against Japan, but also against Germany.
We are at last taking possession of the
air and this unexpected blow on the home
land of the japanese Empire will natural
ly cause a great deal of anxiety on the
Yellow home front and probably halt the
vast spreading Of her war machine over
the entire Pacific
Across the Atlantic, it is also appar-
ent that England and the United States
as well as Germany, are planning to open
up big offensive. Of course, Germany
plans to deal death-blow to Russia, while
the Allies plan to weaken the pressure on
the Reds by opening up an offensive a.
gainst Germany on some unknown front
It seems obvious to us that this is the
only thing to do. We must prevent Hitler
from marching through Russia and India
and joining hands with Japan. If that
should happen, the war might last ten
years, but if we can "hold Hitler" this sum-
mer and gradually weaken and prevent
him from getting vast areas of important
resources, then the war might end within
year or eighteen months time.
Therefore, the next few months are
significant months in world history.

Despicable Mussolini

The pompous Mussolini may still strut,
but nevertheless, his pomp is gone.
The man who imagined himself as a
partner" in the axis land seizures, now
finds himself stripped of his last undisput-
ed personal authority. His orders relating
to internal affairs have first to be approved
by Nazi liaison officer who has special
ly guarded office adjoining the Duce's.
II Duce, who also visionized himself
as great and popular leader in the coun-
try that knew such greats as Julius Caesar,
is now so dispised by most Italians until
word comes from there that it has become
common practice for Italians to expector-
ate on cafe floors and sidewalks whenever
Mussolini's name is mentioned.

COLORED PEOPLE GIVE TO
LANSING CHURCH MANSE
BY The Pastor

The colored people of Lansing
rendered special music at the
Lansing Presbyterian Church last
Sunday. They came in body and
sat in the choir loft. We feel that
these friends are a part of our
Church, and we appreciate their
interest and prayers. An interest
ing feature of this visit was the
contribution that these singers
made. After the singing they made
a nice contribution to the manse
building fund. We greatly appre-
ciate this gift. Every Sunday aft
ernoon Mr.. Wayne Blevins teaches
a Sunday School class for the
colored people, and it is we'll at
tended.

return promptly and put them
out. -. .. " J.
The travelling public is request
ed to cooperate voluntarily with
the blaekout by avoiding all trav-
ell during the period of the black
out and rs far as convenient, be-
tween the hours of 8 and IL o.
clock, p. m.
SPECIAL OFFICERS
Under the direction of the sher-
ifs office and Patrolman Thorn
as and the town police forces,
special officers, including civilian
volunteers with special authority,
will be stationed at the crossroads
of main travelled highways and
approaches to the towns with au-
thority to stop motorists and en-
force the blackOut of all autOmO-
bile lights. This applies to all
motor vehicles, except regular
operated buses, which are exempt.
The special officers will have
white arm bands or insignia for
the purpose of Identification.
BLOW CAR HORNS
To spread the news of the
blackOut in rural communities, it
is suggested that all persons who
hear sirens or horns to- signal 9th
ers by blowing their horns, by
ringing school or church bells.
1t is not sufficient to- pull down
shades, as lights might leak out.
Therefore, everyone is asked to
turn out lights and to cooperate
to the fullest extent.
The public is requested to
spread the news throughout the
county as this test blackOut is a
highly important maneuver, es-
sentiaI to civilian defense and
was ordered by the war depart
ment.

Big Government

The Census Bureau has discovered that
government agency, whether Federal,
state or local This means that one en-
ployed person out of every twelve is on
the public payroll while the other eleven,
more or less, contribute eight cents out of
every dollar they earn for government
salaries alone.
Government truly is big business It
is so big that like agriculture, mining,
transportation and other divisions of the
national economy, it is a most affluent
source of income. In 1910, for example,
government produced one-seventh of the
national income, ranking second only to
manufacturing.
The dollar-growth of government is so
spacious that it is worthy of further illus
tration. According to the Department of
Commerce Survey of Current Business
government produced At billions of the
national income in 1919 while manufacture
ing accounted for 17.3 billions; agriculture,
Ill; trade 11.2 and transportation, 58
But in 1910 governments share was 1912
billions; manufacturing, 1872; agriculture
only 6; trade, 1O.1 and transportation but
So.
Government salaries, of course, do not
represent any but minor portion of the
public outlay for government. How, in the
end, it will all be paid for, goodness knows.
Perhaps we can all take in one another's

A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO
MOTHERS

Those who will suffer most in
this war are perhaps the mothers
and even the fathers of our boys
in the ranks. To them, I dedicate
this little message. I have found
some mothers Of boys in the SER
vice are very calm about it. I
know of one mother whom I talk
with every week. She has three
boys in the army and navy. She
is calm and not afraid Other
mothers worry much. There is
no use to borrow worry until
something happens. Army and
Navy life is not as half as bad as
some may think. The men in the
service have the best of care.
Let me try to give you little
spiritual message and advice.
Read the 91st Psalm over, and
read it over again and again.
Read it before you go to bed at
night. Kneel when you are wor-
ried about your boy, and open
your Bible and read it before you
and God. In this Psalm, you will
find it says:
"a thousand shall fall at thy
side, and ten thousand at thy
right hand; but it shall not come
nigh thee" Ps. 91:7.
II will say of the Lord, He is
my refuge and my fortress: my
God; in Him will trust" Ps. 91:2.
In a little Christian paper call
ed "The Beacon" 1 found this lit
tie appropriate poem and it gives
you, Mothers, just the message
would like to say to you. -.
