of a European family which is
known to be in real want. The
American family agrees to
send regular bundles of food,
vitamins and clothes to it,
adopted family.
Already a great deal of good
will has been built up by this
plan and many famine
stricken family has been saved
from starvation. If the plan
spreads, so that every Ameri-
can family which is able to do
so is aiding European family,
it will do much to tide over
the people of stricken Europe
until they can get back on
their feet.
This persOnalized plan, due
to the correspondence it has
created between well-off Am
erican families and famine
stricken European families,
may do more to establish un-
derstanding and goodwill be-
tween ourselves and our neigh
bors overseas than could ever
be done by government-spon-
sored relief.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
FUTURE

All history is punctuated
with predictions by famous
men of the time that the world
is on the brink of disaster.
Thus we are able, when we
hear similar predictions today,
to take them with a grain of
salt.
The world, somehow, has
managed to pull itself out OF
some pretty difficult fixes, and
we are optimistic enough to
think that it will eventually
get the better of the major
problems which are facing Us
today.
The only thing that worries
us about it is. that there are too
many people In our country
who expect the world, and our
country, to get back on the
road to peace and prosperity
without their help.

Hickory Mans Body
Found In Basement

Hickory, May 27 - o. T. Rocket,
72-year-old retired city mail carrier
of Second street, was found dead of
a skull fracture in a toilet in the
basement of the Fresh Air Market
on Government avenue about II a. m
Wednesday.
Police Chief E. w. Lentz said that
obviously Mr.. Rocket, who was well
known throughout Hickory, accident
ally fell down a winding stairway
leading to the toilet and that his
skull was fractured at the base.
The retired carrier lay inside the
toilet with his feet against a wall,
according to Chief Lentz, who added
that the body was still warm when
he arrived at the scene shortly after
IL o'clock.
Chief Lentz said that the stairway
down which Mr.. Rocket is thought
to have fallen led to the women's
toilet instead of the mems, and that
the body was discovered by woman
employee of the Fresh Air Market.
Obviously, he stated. Mr.. Rocket
mistook the stairway for the one
leading to the mems toilet, or else
thought he was going into the gen.
eral basement of the establishment.

MUST WE BEG THE PEACE? ?

The United States furnished
arms, ammunition, money and
the strongest fighting forces
on the land, seas and air, to
win the World War. Among
the nations saved from defeat
was Soviet Russia. That coun-
try was admitted to member
ship in the United Nations ;
that nation has not conformed
to the program of other United
Nations and it has been a dis
turbing ''rebel' ever since Ger
many and its sympathizers
were laid low.
The Communist government
is a chip off old CZarist Rus
sia, and true to tradition it is
trying to steal territories and
power away from weaker ma
tionS.
Evidently Secretary of State
James F. Byrnes is the out
standing man in the Four Pow
er Conference of Foreign Min
isters, and he seems never to
tire in his efforts to bring the
Soviet leaders in line. Byrnes
is firm in demanding and en-
forcing allegiance to the Unit
ed Nations. If Russia upsets
the applicant, the Communists
will have proved their unfit
ness and their failure to un-
derstand twentieth century civ
ilization.
Why can't the United Ma
tions go along without Russia ?
The United States cannot buy
the peace, sacrifice all the
principles and policies that
have been subscribed to by
nearly so nations.
There are a lot of patriotic
people who have concluded
that Stain and Molotov should
be given series of swift kicks
in the pants, After that, the
United Nations would go ahead
in their efforts to complete
plans to insure the world
against future wars.

X MEMORIAL DAY, 1916 X

forget, as it has never forgotten,
No grave of those who served the
colors will be neglected.
Not only will The American Le-
gion remember our dead on this Me-
mortal Day, but it will recall the
years and years during which oul
people were told: Unless this nation
takes the steps to prevent another
war-it could happen again"
The steps were not taken. 1t did
happen again. And again The Amer
lean Legion tells the nation that
these United States must be strong
strong enough to insure the peace We
pray for; strong enough to guaran-
tee the peace We love so dearly de-
spite our historic reluctance to pay
what it costs in time and interest
and money to maintain it.
This Memorial Day again points tO
the eternal truth - we will pay fog
peace in one way or another, at one
time or another Either with effort
and time and money now, or with
the lives of our youth when the wal
tocsin is heard.
These things The American Legion
believes will preserve the peace Sc
dearly won: Full cooperation with
other countries to make the United
Nations a practical and operating
agency; an intelligent effort to un-
derstand other nations as we hope
they will understand us; The Amer
lean Legion plan for national secu-
rity through universal military train
ing.-(The National Legionnaire.)

I MERGER PUSHED

Newton, May 81 - Final arrange
ments for the proposed merger of
he three oldest banks of Catawba
county into the First National Bank
Of Catawba County were completed
at meeting here. The merger pro-
posal will be put up to the stockhold-
els of the banks Thursday. June 20.

merged institutions would amount to
more than one and one-half million
dollars, and the total resources would
be more than $50 million. The Shu-
ford National Bank of Newton was

This Legion Post
Sees 1t Through

When Joe Cananzey, former para
trooper in Taunton, Mass, learned
that his war bride in Nottingham,
England, was desperately i'll with
tuberculosis. The American Legion
Post l03 raised a fund of $1,000 SO
that the 22-year- old veteran could fly
to the bedside of his wife. He ar
rived in England and was greeted
by his girl wife, but she did not sur
vive and death came to her while in
the arms of her soldier husband. The
funeral was held in the small church
in which they had been married, on
what would have been her goth birth
day.
Now the post has raised another
$500 for Cananzey so he may return
to Taunton, and the Legionnaires
have found a job for him to take
when he gets back.

THE BUDGET WILL NOT BE
BALANCED

From time to time a good
deal of newspaper space IS de-
voted to the statements Of poll
ticians telling how the Gov
ernment budget will be bal
anced." President Truman sub
mitted budget figures last jan
uary that provided for $780,
860,O00,000 Of appropriations
for the fiscal year of 1947.
The United States Treasury
announced this month that it is
going to redeem maturing Sc
curities amounting to $3,854,-
5OO,40O. Other ''retirements'
of Government obligations will
bring the totals up to approx
mately 10 billion dollars.
Senator Tydings of Mary
land has been taking the bull
by the horns, insisting that the
spending top of the Govern
ment for the next fiscal year
must not exceed 81 billion dol
lars. Senator Byrd, who put
Virginia on sound foundation
when he was Governor Of that
State, is trying to force sys-
tenn by which Federal expend-
itures can be definitely identi-
fled. Byrd wants the money
and the credits and securities
and debts all counted so that
the totals will show just ex-
actly where matters stand in
regard to income and expense.
analysis of surpluses and def
cits, sources and uses of funds.
Size it all up, and the con-
clusion is that the budget will
not be balanced, and the ma
tional debt will not be reduced

Memorial Day, 1916.


The guns are silent-nowi Another
period of peace has been purchased
with the blood and sacrifice of the
finest flower of our youth.
Again. as in past decades, we will
march TO the cemeteries and lay the
sweet blossoms of memory on the
asst resting places of our hero dead.
While We at home are doing the
little that We can, on this one an
nual day Of memorial, to honor those
who have saved a free America for
US who remain, similar ceremonies
will be taking place in far places be-
yond the seas where lie those who
have not come home, but who rest
on that far frontier of war where
duty required that they go.
Again we will parade. We will
place flags and flowers owe, those
who fell. We will isten to speeches,
hear the rifle salute to the dead
and as the notes CT Taps" are echoed
from a distance We may ask our
selves, why did this have to be?
What can we do TO prevent its re-
occurrence ?"
We note with fresh amazement
how the harvest of death has grown
since those days when last We OBJ
served peacetime Memorial Day.
How fat have become the Soldiers
and Sailors Memorial plots in the
four long years our nation was en-
gagged in this last bitter struggle.

Washington, May 30 Most of the
things that make up the average
family budget now cost more than
80 per cent more than they did the
day war started in Europe, the Bu-

Food. clothing and house furnish

large cities, are now little over so
