MAIN STREET MEDLEY
By
KATHERINE HUPFEL

Sunday night Main Street will
observe Christmas Eve. =. Thous-
ands of miles from home many of
Main Streets fighting men will also
observe Christmas Eve, according
to the circumstances in which they
find themselves. d. An unforget-
table scene in a motion picture
shown during World War | was
based on such a situation. . The
men fought in trenches then and
the scene depicted nightfall there
on Christmas Eve. AS evening
descended, the battleweary, mud
stained men looked up into sky as
clear and calm as only the Masters
hand can make it. . Slowly, the
stars shone forth and in the east

there was one larger and more bril-
liant than the rest. . Watching
it, awe began to grow among the
men. and the huge guns, one by
one, ceased firing . until at last
the night was still. The great
star seemed to grow in brilliance
then and an American boy rose
slowly from his crouched position
in the trench. "The Star of Bethle-
hem," he whispered. AS if in
response to a silent command, he
stood suddenly erect and his voice
broke the stiffness with the words
of an old and well-loved song,
silent night, holy night-all is
calm, all is bright. . From
across the desolation of no mans

The couple was attended by the

land a voice took up the refrain in
German. g.. One by one, voices on
both sides joined the Song, each
in the language of the singers coun-
try, until the night was filled with
the sound of a great choir of war
weary fighters, whose longing for
peace is beyond the power of any
man to put in words. When the
rulers of the world desire peace as
intensely as the men who fight,
there will be no more Christmas
Ewes spent in trenches, or fox
holes.
Picture of loneliness, seen
not far from Main Street Satur-
day. Late afternoon of
gray chill day =. in the corner
of ranch lot a cluster of tent
houses with closed flaps, indi-
eating a temporarily deserted
cotton camp. . Sitting on a
broken chair before one tent,
an old Mexican, his gnarled
hands stretched toward the
warmth of a small fire in
rusty iron stove. A toiler,
too old and weary to join the
crowd, alone with his thoughts
at dusk.
Let those who will, prate of the
advantages of city life, while every
now and then Main Street gets a
chuckle from a former Coolidge
resident who tries it. Z. This one,
whom many of you know, now
makes her home in hustling, bust
ling Hollywood and was standing
wearily on a crowded bus Saturday,
arms filled with Christmas shop
ping packages. when a kind old
lady seated nearby took pity on
her. "I'll hold those for you" =.
Our former resident handed them
over with a grateful sigh. . . A
little further on, she also got a
seat and said to the nice old lady,
"Ill take my packakes now" Z.

Grazing Crops
Bring Results

A temporary grazing crop for
winter and early spring grazing
must be planted early in the fall,
fortified heavy, and planted with
plenty of seed, says S. w. Thar
rington of Franklin county on
route l out of Louisburg. Thar
rington knows what it takes to
make a good pasture because he
has one of only one and one-half
acres that is providing grazing for
II brood sows, 125 shoats, and 2
yearlings.
According to w. c. Boyce, coun-
ty agent of the State College Ex-
tension Service, Harrington
sowed 3 bushels of small grain
(wheat, oats, rye and barley, 20
pounds of rye grass, 20 pounds of
rape and 10 pounds of clover per
acre about September 10.
The land was in small grain and

REMEMBER OUR SOLDIER
BOYS

Our soldier boys are leaving,
We hate to see them 60,
They're fighting for Old Glory,
Because they love it so.
We that are not in the fight,
There's something we can do.
Everyone buy bonds and stamps,
And to the Lord be true.
There is a thought that comes to
me,
I think would be the best,
We need to fall down on our knees
You can guess the rest.
We need to pray to God each day,
For them that's over there,
Because if we believe in God
He will hear and answer prayer.
To all the boys in service,
I want to say to you,
Seek the Lord and trust in Him,
And He will see you through.
To the fathers and mothers of
these boys,
If you love the God above,
Be much in prayer while they're
away,
And trust in the Saviour's love.
There is some that won't return,
To see their native land,
But they will live again some day,
If they hold to Gods unchang-
ing hand.
To everyone that reads this poem,
We have a war to win.
We are reaping now, just what
we've sown.
I believe the seed was sin.
I read the Bible every day,
And it is true you know.
It plainly says somewhere in it,
You'll reap what you sow.
(Gal 6:7.)
The Bible is true old book,
In it you'll find no story,
If you will read in it you'll find,
Christ in you the hope of glory.
(Col. 1:27)

moment is that of manpower. The
impending Austin Wadsworth
national service act seems to be
getting nowhere, and it is evident
that congress would much prefer
to avoid measures calling for the
drafting of manpower into essen
tial industries. But the heads of
the army, the navy and selective
service continue to put pressure
on congress to take action to end
the manpower muddle.
The latest suggestion, which has
the support Of all Of the war chiefs
as well as a stable number of
senators and congressman, is that
legislation be passed to induct all
4-Fs into vital jobs, to draft all
men from 38 to As for war work
and to make it mandatory that all
of these men keep the war job
they take unless given permission
to change jobs by their local draft
board.
Ralph A. Bard, assistant secre-
tary of the navy, during hearing
on this proposal, emphasized the
difficulty which the navy has in
keeping 4-Fs on the job in navy
yards after they are hired. He
told of a survey of East coast navy
yards which showed that ATS
leave these jobs at three times the
rate of those men deferred for &C.
cupational reasons.
''The important thing" he said,
els to keep people who are work.
ing on important war production
jobs on those jobs where they are
needed, eliminate so far as posi-
BILE the heavy turnover which now
exists and to divert people from
non-essential work to important
work"
1t is still possible that congress
will pass some legislation along
this line, although it is obvious
that congress would much prefer
to leave the manpower problem in
the hands of the Manpower COM
mission. There is little possibility
that there will be any conclusive
solution to the manpower situa-
ton or the closely related selec-
tive service problem for some
months to come.

Bonds or Bondage
by F. D. Cornell, Jr.
Associate Agricultural Economist
West Virginia University

OPPORTUNITY? If each of us
were faced with the necessity of
answering honestly the question
Am I doing everything within my
power to speed the day of victory
the answer in most cases would
be mo" Some of us can't forget
or forego things which in a time
Of crisis matter little.
The two things most essential to
waging successful warfare are
food and money. The farmer
recognizes his responsibility in
food production. Does he fully rec
ognize his opportunity to help pro-
vide the munitions Of war?
OBLIGATION? Government Bonds
offer the farmer an opportunity to
have part ia providing our fight
ing men with ample and effective
training and equipment. They also
are an opportune way of laying
aside reserves to meet needed re-
pair and replacement costs after
the war. Are they an obligation?
Oh yes! The obligation Of the gov
eminent to pay back the loan with
interest is no greater than our OBJ
legation to LEND the government
our support. Remember? WE are
t he government. 1--WE THE
PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
STATES"
PRIVILEGE? The greatest joys in
life come from the privileges we
enjoy, and which we are now fight
ing to defend. It is not only an
opportunity and an obligation, but
also a privilege to have as great
a part as possible in insuring to
ourselves, our children, and to
generations yet unborn those free
doms which distinguish the bond
and the free.

Washington, D. G. = It is hard
TO imagine that the house ways
and means committee, which in
1913 wrote what most taxpayers
considered the most complicated
revenue act in history, could sud-
denly make an about-face and de-
wise new measure which would
receive nationwide praise for its
simplicity and practically. But
that seems to be what has happen
ed.
The new bill, which has won the
support Of many Of the most Bit
ter enemies of the 1913 measure,
does not change to any appreciate
extent the amount of taxes to be
paid, but answers most all of the
major objections which the aver
age wage-earner had to the meth
DDS of payment. In the first place,
if this measure is enacted, from
100000 to $4,000, 900 people will
be relieved from making any tax
reports at all beginning in 1914.
The taxes of the great majority of
workers will be fully taken care
of in the deductions taken from
their salaries and wages. Second
ly, the complications of the Vic
tory tax will be entirely removed
since that tax will be included
in the regular tax.
One of the provisions of the new
measure, which will appeal to a
large number of taxpayers, is de-
vice for blanket deductions. I'm
der this plan anyone with a gross
income of less than $4,000 can au-
tomatically deduct 10 per cent
without having to do lot of COM
plicated figuring about just what
deductions he is entitled to. Those
earning over $4,000 can deduct
$500 without giving any detailed
explanation. Not only will this
provision make it easier for the
taxpayer, but should considerably
ease the work of the treasury de-
partment in trying to verify small
deductions.
There is every reason to expect
that this measure will become law
with very little if any opposition.
One of the most complicated
problems facing congress at the
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1944-05-18

FARMERS are playing a vital
l. role in the Victory drama. Most
farmers are doing their utmost to
insure that our armed forces and
our civilian workers are getting
ample supplies Of the right kinds
of food for continued maximum
efficiency. All of this is being &C.
complished under unusual circum-
stances such as labor shortages,
scarcity of essential feeds, fer
tilizers, gasoline, spray materials,
and limited machinery repairs
and requirements.
On the other hand, we must ad-
NIT that our extra effort is being
more adequately rewarded than
previously and that along with
such sacrifices and hardships as
are encountered, there is some
gain; and justly so. The farmer
deserves every bit of credit and
money he gets for his part.
In that knowledge, however, lies
real danger. Are we apt to become
complaisant and feel we are doing
our part? CAN we do more?
SELFISHNESS OR SELFLESS-
NESS: War is selfish business. No
war ever began from purely phil
anthropic motives. To the agrees
sor, the gain always outweighs
the sacrifice. To the defenders, the
violation of human rights and
liberties forms the common meet
ing ground of joint agreement and
effort. However, victories are not
won by selfishness. They depend
on se1flessness-a willingness and
desire to sacrifice individual good
for the good of all. That is why
both sides always must try valent-
ly to establish in the minds and
hearts of their peoples the justice
of their cause. That is the will
that wins.
