GOD KNOWS

God knows our imperfections;
l think He gave them birth;
So we would have some obstacle
To overcome on earth;
So we would be dependent
On His counsel and His grace,
And learn to do our part to help
Improve the human race;
To understand that others
Have their faults the same as
we;
And not to chide them, but to live
In common sympathy;
Remembering that we ourselves
are not
Immune to any sin;
And heaven is beyond our reach
Until He lets us in.
think our imperfections
Were designed and brought
about
So we would have a weakness
And God could try us out.

before the hour of the first in
fantry landing on the beach, the
airmen were able to maintain a
rolling bomb barrage that para
lyzed many of the German de-
lenses.
Every bomb that fell was aimed
by radar, and not a single allied
soldier was killed by American
bomb fire. in spits of the fact that
the allied lines and the enemy
lines were perilously close to-

time. big ships were doing some
incredible shooting by radar.
When Germany began sending
buzz bombs against England, ra-
dar spotted them so accurately
as to backtrack them to the
French coast and lay bare the
areas of their launching sites.
When the weather was foul, as it
often was, there was no defense
except ground fire, but this was
radar controlled. and the gunners
shot buzz bombs from the sky by
the hundreds.
This German secret weapon. /"
which then was almost as much
defenders tactical problem as is
the atomic bomb of today, was
beaten by radar. On a certain
Sunday in August, the Germans
sent 105 buzz bombs across the
channel, but only three arrived at
their destination.
In the Pacific, radar also en-
abled the navy to achieve it's
great victory. Formerly. to fight a
major fleet action at night, would
have been unthinkable; but with
radar. the fleet could and did ap-
proach unknown harbors. Radar
made it safe to cruise or fight at
night under a total blackout. Thus

outfit which had tied into some OF
the Germans best armor east of

TEACHER SALARY
BILL IS PROPOSED

RALEIGH, Jan 8 -(P- The
Legislature received bills tonight
to set aside s5l, 565,079 from the
States surplus to retire the Gen
eral Fund borded indebtedness,
and the Senate received measure
to raise by 10 per cent the sala-
ries and war bonus Of principals
and teachers for the last four
months of this school year.
The retirement measure was in
troduced in the Senate by Eagles
Of Wilson. Price of Rockingham.
Hodges of Buncombe, Carlyle of
Forsyth, Gay of Northampton and
O'Berry Of Wayne; and in the
House by Stone of Rockingham,
Pearsall of Nash. Kerr of Warren,
Wallace of Leboir. and others. 1t
went to appropriations commit
tees.
Thus another of Governor Cher
rvs Recommendation was enbo-
died into a bill. Both in his pri-
mary platform and in bis inaugu-
raj address he advocated the pay
ment of the Indebtedness out of a
surplus anticipated to reach $40
000,0 by the end of this fiscal
year. That, he said, would be sound
business.
The measure to raise the pay of
teachers and principals was spon-
sored by Senators Pittman of Lee,
Price of Rockingham and others.
1t said that there was a growing
shortage of teachers in the State,
and that the increases should be
granted in interest not only of the
teachers, but OF the students. The
10 per cent increases would be
based upon income both from sa-
laries and war bonuses.
