Don't Learn The Hard Wav

If the war has taught the owner of
home anything about domestic problems,
it is that an adequate and economical heat
ing plant is about the most important
thing in his house, next to the roof. The
necessity for saving fuel has forced home
owners to recognize this fact and in so do
ing they have found out few elemental
TRUTHS one of which is that when house
is built it should have a chimney big
enough to take care of all types of fuel. It
costs little more to build such a chimney
when a house is under construction, but it
is costly and often an impossible job to
enlarge chimney later.
The bituminous coal industry, because
of shortages in other fuels, has had to heat
thousands of homes that never before used
coal, and which had chimneys not suitable
for COAL It has been pointing out the ne
cessity for proper chimney construction
for safety, economy, and freedom from de-
tendency on any one type of fuel And
this is something for home-builders to re-
member in the days ahead when a record
breaking era of small home construction is
predicted.

Don't Drive On The 4th

We Americans have bad habit of cele-
brating independence day by running up
a record number of accidents It used to
be that the casualties from fireworks head
lined the newspapers of the nation on the
fifth of July. In recent years, with fire
crackers out of the picture, our accident
record has been kept high through auto
mobile collisions.
But this year is different. This year,
with the war with Japan going at a full
tilt, it is Of vital Importance that every one
of us be on the job, and not in hospital,
on the fifth of July. None of us feel per-
sonal danger about travelling on a busy
road, but the statistics, year after year,
make it clear that the busy 18th is the most
dangerous day of the year for motorists.
That's why 100 organizations have
joined with the National Safety council
to urge us to stay home on the Fourth.
AS the council points out: "A Fourth of
July holiday that would pile up big acct
dent toll and thus slow down our war eff
fort would be better holiday for the Japs."

More Bonds Are Needed

AS the Seventh War Loan draws to
close, Ashe county is still far short of the
E bond quota. We have never failed to
raise our quota in one of these drives, let's
not fail in this one. Many have already
purchased bonds, but if possible, let's pur-
chase some extra ones before the drive
closes, this month.
We are going to have to make an extra
effort to drive the japanese out of the
Pacific. The sooner we can do it, the less
our casualties and other costs. Let's put
on some steam for the last week of the
drive.
If you are among those who have not yet
purchased any E bonds during this drive,
surely you can not let the opportunity pass
without doing your part. Ashe county
men are playing magnificent part in
this war, yes, even "above and beyond the
call of duty" It is our duty to back them
with bonds.

Richly Deserved Honors

Our own Congressman Robert l..
Doughton was highly honored last week
when he was given the annual award of
the International Economic Council at the
White House. The award was made in
recognition of Mr. Doughton's courageous
and outstanding action on behalf of the
trade agreements program" in promoting
world commerce.
President Truman said in his remarks
that Mr.. Doughton had worked unceasing-
ly for reciprocal trade program promul-
gated by former Secretary of State Cordell
Hull and was well deserving of the award
The award, symbolic of two-way trade
between nations, was made on the 18th
anniversary of the founding of the council,
successor to the National Committee for
Reciprocal Trade.
Doughton led the House fight that re-
suited in passage of the Reciprocal Trade
Agreement Bill, authorizing lower tariffs
to promote foreign commerce in the post
war era It marked the Truman Admin
istration's first major victory on the hill as
supporters of the measure beat off all eff
forts to alter it's construction It also was
hailed as victory for the principle of in
ternational cooperation in settling world
problems now being sought in the San
Francisco Conference.
This paper along with others congratu-
lates Congressman Doughton on this hon
or His efforts in this field, for which he
has been recognized, should be far-reach-
ing in the promotion of world peace.
Congressman Doughton's own state will
honor him next week when he will be Civ
en- an honorary Doctor of Laws Degree
from the University of North Carolina.
This, too, is particularly fitting since he
has done so much for North Carolina.
For his long years of public service,
filled with unselfishness, Congressman
Doughton richly deserves all of the hon
ors that may come to him. All, who know
him. are proud of what he has accomplish
ed and are happy to learn of public recog-
milton of his life of service.

Strength For The Legion

The American Legion has just publish
ed it's first booklet on it's World War II
membership. It's 56 pages are replete with
pictures of mass inductions of the new vet
Grams, and of World War II Legionnaires
who already have achieved positions of
leadership in post, county, district and de-
partment organizations.
Shown also are many of the Legion's
clubhouses throughout the nation. Thou
sands of Legion posts are now expanding
their homes to provide adequate facilities
for the 100000 World War II veterans al
ready numbered in the Legion's record
breaking 1915 membership expected to ex-
coed 100000 by September.
Every loyal American should find graft
fication in the statements of the World
War II leaders of the Legion explaining
why they joined the organization. These
statements show the fighting men and
women of this war are coming home en-
bued with the same patriotic fervor that
inspired the founders of the Legion in
1919 1t is fervor that has it's roots in an
increased appreciation of America and its
blessings and in a new determination to
continue to serve our communities, states
and nation to preserve those blessings.
That is. the finest guarantee this nation
can have that the veterans of this war will
not shed their service to God and Country
with their uniforms; that they will throw
their energies and battle-tested courage
to the solution of the problems of peace;
that they will stand as living bulwark of
our free institutions for which they fought
even as World War Legionnaires fought,
and in the defense of which many of their
comrades gave their lives. ~~

cold, the land of blood and dead

which we as soldiers have spilled
our blood for our country and
our churches and at last we have
won half Of he Victory, the half
that we have fought for so long.
Many fathers, husbands and sons
have given their lives and thou
sands of others have only given
their blood and are coming home

der if we are thanking our dear
Lord the One that split His pre-
clous blood that we might have
everlasting life. When it comes
down to the fine point we have
forgotten that we are looking for
the things of the world and that
is the reason we are in this war
today.
"The day that 1 was wounded

long hours without any help and
thinking that I might be hit again

Him for help and I asked Him if
it were His will to return me to
my family and, thank God, nv
prayers were answered and I am
on my way home and I want us

EISENHOWER is GIVEN
A ROYAL WELCOME
(Continued from Page One)

trail Park, along flag-bedecked
Fifth Avenue and lower Broad
way, at City Hall and at the Polo
Grounds, cheering men, women
and children expressed their
gratitude to the Supreme Allied
Commander.
General "Ike," impeccable in a
light Summer uniform and smil-
ing his infectious grin, waved and
saluted as his triumphant Oscar
motorcade passed through the din.
The welcomers lined the streets,
leaned from windows, stood on
roof tops and climbed atop park
ed automobiles and trucks to
catch a glimpse of the Nazi con-
queror.
At times, Eisenhower stood in
his open touring car and stretched
out his arms to form Nv" for
the curbstone crowds which had
waited for him since early morn
ing.
To servicemen in uniform,
Eisenhower beamed, to gold star
mothers he smiled and to wound
ed veterans he saluted.
The first paper waited down
from buildings when the caravan
began its journey down Fifth
avenue-whose department stores
and shops had closed to honor the
nations hero.
Flags and red, white and blue
bunting lined the route. Large
banners read: welcome Ike" and
"welcome-well DONE"
Lower Broadway went wild
when Eisenhower's car came into
sight. Ticker tape swirled down
like snow in the financial dis
trict. Surging crowds broke
through police lines.
Wall Street throngs whistled,
screamed, shouted and sang. The
stock, curb and commodity ex-
changes remained closed for two
hours.
A tremendous cheer went up
when Eisenhower reached City
Hall Park. He alighted from his
car and walked up a welcoming
carpet last used when King
George vi visited New York.
