Is Collapse Near?

The United States News, pub
lished in Washington, D. c., takes
a glimpse inside Germany and asks
if German collapse is near. It says
unemployment there is rising, work
ers stay away from bombed out

transportation is badly affected;
initiation is threatening; panic
threatens in the Balkans. 1t says
Germany is brittle, is getting ripe
for collapse, perhaps with a psy-

Editorial
No Need For AIorm

The Christmas tree industry was
largely a flop from coast to coast
this year, according to newspaper
reports. Dealers found themselves
with large stocks of unsold trees
and as someone has said, there is
nothing quite SO useless as Christ
mas tree the day after Christmas.
Some have been wondering what
effect THIS lack Of sales will have
on future demand for trees from
this district. The harvesting OF
Christmas trees in Lincoln county
has grown into big business and
annually brings much outside mon
ey into the, county.
We feel there need be no undue
alarm over this years disappoint-
ment. There will always be a Santa
Claus and there will always be a
demand for Christmas trees. 1t has
truly been said that Christmas does
not seem quite Like Christmas with
out a beautiful Christmas tree in
the house. That sentiment will
continue, we are sure.
There were two good reasons for
the drop Of sales this season 1t Is
said that many retailers put the
prices too high and the public re-
fused to buy, another condition tina
contributed I'd reduced sales wa:
the impossibility to purchase tree
ornaments. When Would-be tres
buyers found they could not bu,
lights and ornaments, they decided
they did not want trees. The mat
ter Of too high prices will NATURAL.
correct itself. especially when con
ditions are normal again. And Whel
the war is over, there will again b
plenty of lights and baubles to max
the Christmas tree as beautiful a
ever.

An Appalling Charge

| was talking with railroad man
this week and he was quite bitter
in respect to the strike situation.
He said he was confident the rail
road workers never would have
struck, even though the Govern
ment had not taken over the roads.
He was of the opinion that union
officials desired the strike vote from
the. membership merely to hold as
threat over the Government in the
workers attempt to bring to con-
clusion a matter that had been
hanging fire for months. A further
conviction Of his was that railroad
men are much too patriotic Amerl-
cans ever to hamper and tie up
vital transportation in time OF war
This man further expressed him
self as Astrongly opposed to any
strikes in essential war industries
in time Of war. He stated 1t this
way: Il want still to be a friend OF
those boys when they come home
who are now fighting our battles
throughout the world. How could
be if while they were away fight
ing and some of them giving their
lives, should join in strike that
would seriously cripple the war in
dustries and the support those fight
ing boys need from the home
'front.'"
This same man was quite bitter
because Of the manner in which la-
Dor controversies had been han
died. He blamed the Administration
and he said many other railroader'
felt the same as he did.
These threatened strikes by thu
railroad and steel workers hav'
placed terrifying charge on tn
doorsteps OF their leaders. It is SAT-
that those at the head Of the Alice
strategy have been counting on re
volts arising among the population
OF conquered countries. But tn
Axis had seized on the threat Q
strikes in America to spread tn
claim that conditions in the Unite'

Chestnut Wood
rs Needed Now
: Used In Tanning OF Leather
For Shoes For Men In
Service

Old dead chestnut wood today,
if sound, has a market the best
for it in many years, and the rea-
sun for this market is the need of
tanning materials to make leather
so that the men in service can
have shoes to wear.
Before the war with Japan
mach of our tanning materials
were made in the East Indies and
Philippine Islands. Japan now has
those ports closed against us and
the only materials we have to
suse are tan bark and chestnut
wood, and chestnut wood, as we
all know, is almost a thing of the
past, the trees being dead, but can
be used yet if sound.
The government has made cell
ing price of $1,000 for 100 cubic
feet delivered to shipping point
OF mill, and the Wilkes Extract
Works at North Wilkesboro are
Hww paying that price delivered
=at 1heir mill any day except Sun
day and will take any quantity
cash payment as soon as deliver
ed.
Folks who have chestnut wooc
ought to take advantage of this
opportunity to get this wood to
market now while they can gel
this price for it. Lumber and other
timber products will have a mar
ket years to come after the war
is over, but not so with chestnut
wood. The war needs gives it this
price today but when this war
need is over the market for chest
INIT wood will be over. So get il
