This Belieuir,g World

The picture of the martyrdom of the early saints in the Roman Conquerors afresh to Twentieth Century minds when pick up daily journals to learn that Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Church. Arch bishop Stepanc Yugosavia has joined the growing mod ern day list of Christian martyrs.
 The acts violence against both the Roman Catholic Hierarchy and the Protestant Churches Germany were many of the years held horrible examples to besta and atheistc tendencies of the nhuman Ger monsters who peperated the greatest sins of modern times upon religious mnorities in their and other tions they conquered!
 the Sickle and Hammer Fist of the Red-Communists clean free from wrong that the maryrdom of this latest outrage should fall deaf in nation? Are concerned with personal faiths and personal wrong that have time to take the ban for the rights of free everywhere to worship they desire? Is this just gesture that proves that the four freedoms declared in the Atlantic Charter and ub scribed to by Communist Russia well Britain and the United States, are FOUR MORE WAR CASUALTIES TO ADD TO OUR GROWING LIST?
 Long centuries ago. Christ the Lord took strong and violent action against the desecrators of the Year Temples Shall follow HIS leadership and be strong to kneel before the NTCHRIST and invite him into the sancty of churches to commit vandams and destroy altars?
 Unless we speak out in our churches our union meet ngs and public gathering places against such acts it will be long before the intolerance and caousness of the Communist Fascist deoogies will inltrate into communities in the guise of revival of the Ku Kux Klan and other such un-American and bigoed discrimination groups
 We have much in the press of certain who who leading citizens and hold office in high places being members of such groups and nothing done about nvest gating them taking away their public powers Anyone who would deliberately vote for whom they know to have been presently member of such organization Is VOTING AGAINST HIS FREE VOTING FRANCHISE and IS AS GUILTY OF UN-AMERICANISM Hitlerite or Stainite!
 We must not allow OUR AMERICA the last stand of Democracy and the FREE RIGHTS OF MAN, to succomb to and become the victim of THE FORCES THAT SEEK TO DESTROY MEMS FREEDOM, to DESTROY MEMS SPIRITS, and to RULE SOULIESS WORLD!
 HELP. KEEP AMERICA FREE BY PROTECTING THE FREEDOM OF ALL PEOPLES, regardless of RACE, COL OR OR CREED! We can do this, if go on trying, if we go on BELIEVING IN THE TRIUMPH OF GOOD OVER EVIL; IF WE GO ON BELIEVING MYTHS BELIEVING WORLD!

and community leadership. races
as bright a future in the field OF
industry as any other town OF
similar size in eastern Carolina.
Paced by a 3o-mil1ion-pound, six

3 500 population has and will con-
tinue. to be based primarily IN the
rich forest and farm products ma

in these fields, Whiteville is ma

forest provide abundant resources
for tobacco re-drying plants. Hood
processing plants veneer mllls'

drying plants, there. is already one
large plant in Whiteville and
prospects of others. OF lumber
manufacturing plants, there are
several Of the county's major mills
in the immediate vicinity of White
vile. &.
Business Men Organize
Believing that Whiteville is ripe
for large, industrial expansion, 10
cal leading business men have or
gained the Greater Whitevile
Development, corporation with an
initial capital stock of 100000 for
the encouragement of local indus
trial development. Organized in
the latter part Of 1915, the corpora
ton is a non-profit organization
which is in position to- render
valuable assistance to desirable
new industries. -.
Operating alongside the develop

planning committee with its sub
committees, emphasizing, among
other things, agricultural, indus
trial, and marketing expansion.

on Columbus county farms.
Transportation Good
Transportation facilities provide
adequate means for an expanding
industrial development. White
vile is located at the crossroads
of State Highways FOL running
north and south and 74-76 running
east and west. These highways
form easy access to the Carolina
beaches, to the port city of Will
mington and to all points west and
north. The Atlantic Coast Line
railroad offers convenient freight
and passenger rail accommodate
tons in all directions, while bus
and trucking routes operate reg
ularly through Whiteville. More
than 80 regular schedule BUSES of

Whiteville wholesale and retail
merchants boast of a volume OF
business which surpasses many
other towns in eastern Carolina Of
like population. With a trading
area covering the entire county
and parts of adjacent counties,
Whiteville merchants have attrac-
tive shops stocked with a quality
of goods comparable to any found
in towns of much larger size. The
home office of one of North Caro-
lina's leading mercantile chain
systems is located in Whiteville,
and Wholesale groceries and auto
mobile parts are distributed over
a wide area by leading grocery
and auto parts distributors. The
manufacture of fertilizer is also
an outstanding local industry.
Manufa curing Plants
Immediately adjacent to and in
outlying areas, numerous lumber
manufacturing plants, manufac-
turing hardwood and North Caro-
lima pine, complete the industrial
picture. These mills draw from the
rich forests of Columbus county
to supply customers in many arts
of this country and abroad. One of
them has recently contracted with
the Philco Radio corporation, the
largest manufacturers of radios in
the world, to supply their entire
output to this corporation.

ORIGIN OF GLASS CL1NKING

The custom of clinking glasses
originated in Roman days. Before
a duel, each gladiator drank a
glass Of wine and, to guard against
poison being slipped into one
of the glasses, it became custom
for the fighters to touch glasses
and pour the wine from one to
the other.

Cheerful Giving

Christmas time should be season of
goodwill toward all. It is particularly a
time when less fortunate people should be
remembered. The West jefferson Mer-
chants Association is sponsoring Christ
mas Cheer program and under the leader
ship of Rocco Cutri, much interest is being
shown in this movement. Many have al
ready given their cooperation. Others still
have time to do So If you have not made
a contribution to this fund, you may help
to make Christmas bright and happy for
some less fortunate people. Remember
Christmas is a time of cheerful giving.

Who's Who In America

The 1916 coal strike has brought about
showdown. Employers and workers find
themselves in second and third place -
meaning that the Federal Government has
accepted the challenge brought about by
almost countless strikes in countless num-
bers of industries The power of the Gov
eminent has already been demonstrated in
the case of the United States Government
against the United Mine Workers Union
The Federal Government has used it's pow
ers to stop strikes that create or threaten
to bring on an industrial paralysis.
The most important element in this
great upheaval is the rapidly growing con-
viction of the public that the miners, the
CLIO and the ALL have become Contempt
uous of the general welfare" These unions
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1946-12-19

have become so strong that they simply
issue orders to millions of workers, and
know that those orders will be obeyed.
Evidently, the working people of this coun-
try are tired of this continuous perform
ance governed by mere handful of leaders
who have become crazed with past sue
cesses.
The whole situation down to date shows
that Uncle Sam is the Big Boy, after all.
The President of the United States and his
Cabinet and the Courts of highest resort
: have accepted the challenge and are doing
their utmost to prevent more strikes. .e.s
The Associated Press reports that SEN
ator Wiley of Wisconsin will head the SEN
ate Judiciary committee, and that he pre-
! diets Congress will review the whole
situation brought about by the coal stop
page, and "that the public interest never
can be jeopardized by repetition of what
we have just come through" This opinion
is supported by Senators Millikin of Colo
RADIO, Brooks of Illinois, Butler of Nebraska,
Ball of Minnesota, and many other leading
Senators.
The above adds up to guarantee that
within the next few weeks Congress will
pass new and effective labor laws that will
put an end to all these wildcat Strikes It
is reasonable to expect that the rights of
the people will be restored.
