RallyFor Youth

In this period when attention of organ
Stations is being conferred around the youth,
we are happy to see the churches taking
a lead in this movement. Ashe county
churches, like others realizing the vital
need of working with youth, should achieve
notable results. The countrywide youth
rally is fine example of one of the many
parts the church can play in spreading its
Influence toward the youth. We congrat-
Nlate the churches on this movement and
express the hope that it may be the be-
ginning of many more such planned events
to serve the youth of the county.
The church has limitless power in in
fluencing the lives of it's people. By using
this influence to the best advantage, youth
full members today, may become tomor-
rows leaders. @~s*@n
Parents are urged to encourage their
children to attend the countrywide rally
to be held at Jefferson, July CT. The
greater the attendance, the more pro-
nounced the success of this youth rally
may be.

ITO

AS this nation celebrates it's 10th birth
day there are many things to reflect on.
Individually speaking ITO is beyond ex-
pectations, but for our nation it is very
young age, comparatively. Yet within this
age much has been learned and more and
more knowledge is being acquired.
In the days and years that lie ahead
of us and as nation we are confronted
with what seem to be impossible tasks, it
will be we'll to remember those men and
women of America that have come before
U.s. While circumstances are scarcely ever
the same, neither mans habits or wants
have changed very greatly, relatively
speaking. Yet the men and women who
came before us did accomplish what they
set out to do so surely it should not be so
hard for us who follow them We have
their example, they had only their cour-
age and their faith in mankind. On this
our birthday it will be we'll to remember
Columbus, George Washington, Edison,
the Wright brothers and many other Amer
leans than have played vital part in the
development of our country.
In speaking of birthdays we heard
common-sense lecture delivered by a
father to his son the other day, when he
pointed out that the birthday was import
ant only in that the son made it so, by
accomplishing something. Few of us can
expect national holiday on our birthday,
but as individuals we can mean something
to our country, state and nation, by becom-
ing better citizens and by discouraging
those who would destroy the principles on
which this nation was founded.
Let us remember that this our nation
is "of the people, for the people and by the
people," This should make it clear that
all handouts, so to speak must be paid for
by all the people. And as patriotic citi-
zens we must get over the idea of expect
ing something for nothing. Each individ-
ual is an integral part of this nation and
must feel definite responsibility. Let's
rededicate ourselves on this July to the
principles of real Americanism, not sub
.stitutes or compromises.

Holding The Price Line

Following the termination of OPA, in
this period of uncertainty relative to prices,
we feel sure that local merchants will con-
tinue to keep prices in line and the buying
public may have no fear that they will be
taken advantage of, because of lack of price
control.
In a statement this week, the secretary
and president of the N. c. Merchants AS

association, declared.
Amos Wagner, Jr., of Ashe
Hardware, Inc, and President OF
the w. J. Merchants Association,
stated that "OPA or no OPA, the
prices of hardware would remain
the same until the manufacturers
force us to raise them. We
are interested in treating our GUS
toners in the same fair manner
in the future as we have in the
past" Mr.. Wagner said.
Mrs. Earl Davidson, of David
sons Store, seemed genuinely
distressed over conditions since
the termination of the OPA. "Our
prices will be no higher now that
the OPA has been discontinued
and we will 60 under the ceiling
whenever it is possible"
She further stated that she be-
lieved merchants could get along
without the OPA, provided the
merchants would keep their
heads.
Earl Ray, and Earl Ray, Jr.,
owners of Ray Hardware, which
has served the farmers for a good
many years, both stated they will
hold their prices down until the
manufacturers went up and then
of course they would have to in
crease their prices too. 1--WE are
interested in keeping our prices
down, and if we are successful in
doing this, we do not need the
OPA," they stated.
Gwyn Little, of Parker's Store,
vice-president of the local mer-
chants association, stated that
his prices will remain at the same
level as long as prices of sup
plies do not increase. Il believe
the OPA was good thing, but
its administration could have
been carried out differently.
Prices they set were good for
some concerns and not right for

There remain, however, some
treaties or other international in
struments of a political character
which attribute certain functions
and powers to the League. In such
cases, transfer to the United Ma
tons will be considered only if the
parties to the agreements should
so desire.
Woodrow Wilson would have liked
to have seen this report. The
League he inspired started from
scratch with no legacy whatso-
ever from any previous organiza-
ton. There were no signs marking
the trial, to warn League leaders
where they turned off on the road
that led to war.
Now, % years after his 18th point
suggested that a League be form
ed, and after a global war seemed
to prove the experiment futile, the
new world organization still found
something to rescue before it de-
clared the League officially dead.
It has lifted whole portions from
the old.
There's an economic and social
council of the UN in preparation

perts from the old League in
formation section have contributed
much to the UNO's various press
organizations.
The composition of the UN AS
sembly is the same as the compo-
sition of the League Assembly.
The League council, according to
the covenant, was to include the
principal victor powers with four
other temperament member states
selected by the Assembly. The UN
Security Council includes the Big
Five plus six temperament mem
bers.
The League had the mandates

mission had some territory to man.
age. The UN hasn't assigned the
trusteeship council any land-yet.
Both the League and the UN were
diplomatic expedients and admit
teddy not the ideal organizations
their creators would have prefer
red. Wilson made many conces-
sions to Clemenceau and Lloyd
George. The three present great
powers produced the best conipro-
mise possible between the Soviet
Union and the western democra-
cies.
Both were established on the
basis Of secret great power talks,
through the UNO, unlike the
League, will not be tied to the
peace treaties.
At the bottom of both organiza-
tons lies an important point con-
demned by many as a fallacy. Both
are built on the premise that an
effective world peace organization
is not incompatible with the con-
tinuation of national sovereignty.
This last point has brought vio-
lent attacks from many world
leaders who knew the weaknesses
of the old League. Anthony Eden,
who frequently represented Britain
at the League meetings, says the
worlds nations must surrender SOW
ereignty before any world organi-
cation possibly can succeed in keep
ing the peace. Many others agree.
Like the League at it's birth, the
United Nations Organization is
built on hope-hope given words by
President Truman who said:
AS we gain experience and as
this agency becomes more and
more 8 m e ms for peaceful
settlements, the idea of war as
an instrument of policy will recede
into the background Of barbarism
and savagery".
