Army and Navy journal

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 tUP)
The unofficial Army and NavN
Journal today predicted thai
President Roosevelt would recon
mend 10 Congress next weel
passage Of a universal service ac'
az follow up OF the informed
s ourc e. statement regarding
strike dangers which the Journa
said was made by Gen. Marshall
Gen. Marshall spoke from an
Angered heart when during a
special press conference called
on last Friday dec 80 he is
reported 10 have said that the
railroad and steel strike threats
were "A great tragedy" the
Journal said in ID editorial.
EVIL CONSEQUENCES
"What was concerning him

evil consequences which they
found had followed from the
intranslgeant attitude adopted
by most of the railroad brother
hoods and the steel union.
ITO the chief OF staff had
come the comprehensive report
az our intelligence officers and
those OF our Allies. and thew
convinced him that GoebbelS'

ENACTMENT FoRESEEN
Germany and Japan always
have built their hope OF preser-
walton and of keeping their Ill

that the American people will
become weary ~ war, and 10
them strikes are proof that
this condition Is growing and Of
our willingness TO accept a
Stalemate.
There Is one way In which
this conviction and the propa-
ganda they are emitting can he
effectively answered.
THAT is by the prompt insti-
tuition Of universal service. We
expect the President TO recon-
mend this legislation In his
annual message next week, and
we shall rely upon Congress 10

the most sacred oath that can be given to
one of American birth at the inaugural
of that infant as President.
Since more than 200 years ago, there
have been 80 such wailing infants, who,
grown in stature and wisdom, have been
chosen freely from among their fellow
men to voice that same mighty oath.
Dark days confronted some Of them,
days like the present when the cause of
democracy was sorely threatened, inter-
nally and from abroad
Yet the nation that destiny picked those
30 children to lead, now helps lead world
toward freedom for all in global struggle
against tyranny, slavery, hate, and force.
In support of the faith these leaders
kept, the men and women of American
history are devoting their every hour and
the products of those hours, to insure the
certainty that the years shall witness the
infant whose cry we hear tonight selected
and elected by the free choice of ALL un-
hampered, without dictation-an Ameri-
can President
It is for this and for the rights that go
with it that we work, we fight, we die,
even as those who forewent us.

Reaching Maturity

The aviation industry has been work.
ing to formulate program which would
provide sound method for the develop
ment OF both civil and commercial aviation
when peace again allows men and women
to turn their minds and hands to product
i've enterprise. Like every growing indus
try, aviation today finds itself faced with a
maze of problems which involve intricate
legislative questions. Already several
measures have been before Congress seek
ing to chart course for the future of the
industry.
Out OF the weller of conflicting opin-
ION, basic facts now begin to stand out
clearly: Peacetime AVIATION should be und-
er an independent Civil Aeronautics Com
mission, there should be federal safety
rules for all air navigation and airports:
commercial air transportation should be
under sound Federal regulations: Federal
regulation of all flying of private char
acter other than. commercial transportat-
lon' should be confined to safety measures
There must be unification of tax questions
which affect aviation. There must be a
palnssaking and intelligent study of all
transportation agencies to the end that
this nation may have the greatest coordin-
ated transportation system in the world.
1t Will take patience and understanding
to perfect our country's aviation program
But nation which excells all other in
transportation development can certainly
devise model aviation policy.

A Step Toward Progress

The extent to which the problems of
debt and taxation can affect future prog
ress in the United States, was lately sum-
med up by noted financial writer in lam
guage any layman should be able to under
stand. He declared that: apart from the
danger of initiation getting out of control,
one of the worst features of mounting
debt burden is the scramble of different
groups of taxpayers to shift the taxes to
other shoulders. In this struggle for adj
vantage, the contest is almost inevitably
resolved in favor of those groups having
the most political power What energies
is a tax system based more upon political
expediency than upon sound economic
considerations >"
Public debt and the burden of lopsided
taxation on the most productive elements
in the country have grown so great that
some equalizing adjustment must be made
after the war is over or dreams of full en-
ployment and general advancement will
not materialize. There is no use adopting
hardboiled policy in the belief that gov
eminent will take care of us if private in
dustry fails. If private enterprise fails, so
will the governmental government
lives by the productive effort of private
enterprise the same as the rest of us. And
it should not be forgotten that individuals
laboring in the hope of reward are in the
last analysis, the sparkplugs that keep the
machine running.
These are simple truths that we are
dangerously close to forgetting. The most
important step that has been taken in ma
ny moons toward insuring continued prog
ress in this country, is the widespread
movement to limit by Constitutional
amendment the peacetime taxing powers
of the Federal government.

Buy More War Bonds

The Fourth War Loan Drive is off to
good start, but we are still far short Of our
quota This means that everyone who has
not bought bonds should do so at once and
that those who have already bought some,
should buy more, if possible.
Today is Navy Day of the Fourth War
Loan Drive and is dedicated to the valiant
men of the sea- There are hundreds of
Ashe county men and women now serving
in the United States Navy. Let's honor
them by buying an extra bond today.
Every day should be bond day if we
can sacrifice and make it so. The small
sacrifices we are making here are very
little to what the men and women on the
battle fronts are making everyday.
Let's show them that we are doing our
part here at home by buying bonds and
more bonds, because that is what must be
done to back the attack, to bring about
peace and victory, to bring the men back
home again as quickly as possible and
with as little loss of life as possible.
BUY MORE WAR BONDS TODAY!

IN MEMORIAM

On February 16, 1913, the death
angel came in our home, and took
our dear mother. It was a lone
ly night when God said, Come,
and mother closed her eyes and
calmly entered home. We loved
her, but Jesus loved her more
and he has sweetly called her to
yonder shining shore.
The golden gates were open. A
gentle voice said, Come, and
with farewells unspoken, she
calmly entered home.
We have lost our dear sweet
mother. She no more on earth
shall roam, but someday we will
all be with her on that bright
eternal home. Yes, dear mother,
we will meet you and with happy
millions dwell. We will meet
you over yonder where we will
never say farewell.
Written by daughter, Dora
Gilley and Father.

All Stars Win Double
Header

The Rolling Rotarians" upset

Friday night, when they defeated
them 1915. This revenge" game
was viewed by even more, spec
tators than were present at their
first meeting.
The game was another wild
and wooley'' affair that kept the
spectators in a gay mood through
out the contest. DR.. j. K. Hun
ter was the high scorer for the
evening with a total of points.
Others who found the range of
the basket were John Reeves and
DR.. Dean Jones and "Sharp-shoot-
ing" Sharp Shoemaker, who each
got field goal. Ira T. Johnston
sank in a ''crip", but the score
was nullified because a spectator
threw Mr.. Johnston the ball on
an "out-of-bounds' ruling.
For the Odd Fellows, Glenn
Parker, Atwood and Spencer
each got field goal.
The game was much more of a
defensive game rather than Of
fensive. Both teams resorted to
surprise plays" that sometimes
even surprised the players. DIR.
Hunter was temporarily "injured''
during the fourth quarter, but
was quickly revived by the
Spirits"
Those playing for the Odd Eel
lows were: T. E. Parker, Hiram

Little, Gwyn Little, Glenn Park
er, Don Blackburn, Atwood and
Spencer. For the Rotarians, those
who saw action were: DR.. Hunter,
Ira T. Johnston, Bill Terry, Dean
Mcmillan, Sharpe Shoemaker,
DR.. Jones, Carl GRAPHICAL, Levern
johnson, John Reeves, John Jor-
dan, and Hardin.
The spectators were treated to
two fast games which preceded
the feature attraction. The Ma
than's Creek All Star girls nosed
out the Jefferson-W. Jefferson
high school sextet, q to 81.
Shirley Cox, with IA points and
Margaret Phipps, with II points,
led the All Stars, while Bobbie
Miller netted 10 points and Bow
ers, points, for the losers. Both
teams played fast, clean and in
teresting ball, with the more-ex-
perienced Stars winning only af-
ter very hard-fought contest.
The second game on the nights
program saw the Nathan's Creek
All Star boys defeat the Jeffer-
son-W. Jefferson quint, 20 to IA.
Pennington and Woodruff led
the scoring for the. Stars, while
Ray Dancy scored of the high
school teams points.

Work Pile Plan

Some day soon, and we all hope how
soon, this community, along with our state
and nation, will welcome our returning ex-
service men and women, who have been
fighting war. Through their efforts they
cerainly have a right to expect certain
definite conditions when they come home
again. If you would ask them what they
want to come back home to, the average
would answer that they want to return
home and to civilian life of opportunity, to
self-respecting jobs, not government hand
outs. They want to have part in build
ing better world in which to live
Postwar employment is going to be one
of the biggest problems and must be plan
ned for now Next to winning the war, it
is one of the biggest jobs that lie ahead.
In order to help solve this problem, the
Jeffersons Rotary Club, ever alive to the
needs and opportunities of the county, is
making a work pile. survey of possible
needs and in the various fields of employ
ment Immediately after the war. A list
is published elsewhere and you are asked
to check this and return it to the commit
tee in order that an estimate may be ar
rived at. In checking one of these lists and
sending it in, you will not only be helping
yourself but helping to solve communi-
ty employment problem and to work out
possible plans for men and women, who
will return to civilian life after the war.
Check one of these forms and return it
to the Rotary committee You can help
this organization render real community
service.
