Patents Available

One of the major victories of this war
has been won in our country as a result of
the seizure of billions of dollars worth of
property and patents formerly owned by
citizens of enemy nations.
1t is now reported by the Office of the
Alien Property Custodian that every COM
pany in this country in which Nazi influ-
ence was known to have existed has been
Americanized and that patents owned by
enemy nationals have been made generally
available to American@industry.
The Office of the Alien Property Gus
todian in Chicago now has an index of
these patents which can be obtained by
any American manufacturer. If the appli-
cant has the facilities for making use of any
of the patents, particularly for carrying on
war work, he can then, at small cost, get
license to use them. 500 :

A Great Record

Rev. w. T. Wilmington has resigned as
pastor of the West Jefferson Baptist
Church to accept call to Damascus. Both
Mr. and Mrs. Wilmington have many
friends here who regret to see them leave
and wish for them success in their newly
chosen field. ao.
A summary of the work done by Mr..
Wilmington during his eight years of SER
vice here reveals that he has made an out
standing record, with the help and cooper
alton of the people of his church Ten
new churches have been organized in the
Ashe association; during his years as pas
tor, 23O members have been added to the
West Jefferson Baptist church. His efforts
and results achieved, however, have not
been confined to this church, but have in
cluded the entire county. Many other per-
tinent facts can be sighted relative to the
good of this good man and there are thou
sands of people he has helped, of whom
there is nothing on the church records.
This section should feel indebted to the
Whittingtons for the fine work they have
done for the community and for God.

Advertising
81 will advertise theeAwhafthis people shall
do - Numbers 24:14.

What made millions7ef us ransack our
homes and yards and collect millions of
pounds of aluminium and iron and copper
for the government? Of course we want
ed to help win the war. But what stimula-
ted us on particular day to start assemb-
ling the piles of old metal that became
mountains of salYage?, .g.;i,
What induced millions of us to buy
War Bonds on particular day? Yes, we
wanted to use our dollars to help defeat
and destroy Hitler and Mussolini and Hiro-
hito. But who gave us the words and the
urge to write our names down on pieces of
paper at set time and place? 1t is easy
to delay where money is concerned.
The answers are obvious enough. Adj
vertising was the tool our government US
ed. Advertising is the tool our allies and
our enemies also use. In London and in
Moscow, as we'll as in Washington, in the
dictator countries as we'll as among the
democracies, advertising is the mechanism
through which governments seek to bring
about unity of action.
We and all other peoples have made
fresh and important discoveries about ad-
vertising during these years of total war.

nents for the most part haven't
been too tough, although he does
have a win over favored Buddy

a possible opponent for the winner
