SUMMERS SUMMIT

Deep in summer" means lost-for all mere
jly practical purposes-in the lushness of June
Ior July. Those months are like enchanted val
|leys beyond which one wants never to go, nev-
|er to look, whose quiet streams must take on
the responsibility of such enterprise as we care
ito dream about, must slide slowly somewhere
or maybe nowhere; and if the latter, all the
better.
BUT come August-at any rate, mid-August
and find ourselves mounting hillside.
An unheralded wind from some alien, cooler
slime surges through pass hung with strange
ly-and surely prematurely-yellowng leav-
es. And then of sudden we stand on a clear,
clean height and see whittier we go.
There are still valleys beyond, warm and
reminiscent of earlier pleasures. But then again
hills that descend on their farther side, we can
guess, into more challenging environment, a
land bounded by the first day of school, by the
end of seashore holidays or mountain hikes-a
land of industry, art, and whatsoever you try to
get away from in early summer so you can
icome back to it twice as energetically in early
fall.
From here-from this interim height this
sunny plateau of fading grass and furnishing
tree-you see the borderland the September

CHURCHILL URGES UNITY

4 "Our gers great, but is
pur strength" declared Winston Churchill, in
addressing the people of Strasbourg, where the
council of Europe was in process of beginning.
The War Prime Minister of Great Britain
called attention to the long religious, dynastic
and nationalistic wars that Europe has expert
fenced and asked:
"Are we to sink, after all our victories and
sufferings, into final chos, into theological wars
thrust upon us by barbarous and wicked oligar-
chies whose fifth column agents are infiltering
into so many lands?"
This is the question that confronts the free
people of the world. It stems, not from the agi-
tated emotions of people, but from the machi-
nations of ruling regimes, possessed of the pow
er to regiment their people and to collect their
resources for the purpose of aggressive militar-
ism. It is the present epitome of the might
makes right" theory, which finds expression in
totalitarian nations, where ambitious men di-
rect the activities of millions in accord with
their ambitious, and suspected programs

KEEP AMERICA STRONG

Wnen the House last week voted to cut the
Administrators request for $1.45 billions
arms aid to Europe in half, it may have had in
mind the admonition of James Byrnes when he
said not long ago that this countrys first line
|of defense is not the Ebe or the Rhine, but an
Economically strong America. Congress seems
Ito be tired of giving away the taxpayers hard
learned money.
But economically aside, the arms aid plan
as originally presented has been Objectionable
land controversial for other reasons. For one
thing, it granted the President and his advisors
too much authority. It was not only bill to
implement the Atlantic Pact, but would have
given the Administration powers to commit
the United States all over the earth without
check or hindrance of any kind.
There is also grave doubt that arming Eu-
rope would add to this country's security The
weapons we are to supply to those who are
friends and allies today may in time turned
|against us. Most of the countries are so small
and weak they could be overrun by the enemy
own. Furthermore, we never be sure that
the Atlantic pact lineup will be permanent. It
is recalled that Italy during the first world war
deserted her original allies, Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary, and joined in the war against
them. It could happen again.
We agree with Byrnes that our first line of
defense is strong America And we can't keep
America strong if we continue to give away
our substance.-Statesville Landmark.

ADVERTISING SELLS

Many years ago Mark Twain was editor of
a small-town newspaper. A reader wrote in
saying that he found spider in his paper and
wanted to know if that was an omen of good
or bad luck Mark Twain answered: Finding
a spider in your newspaper is neither good nor
bad luck The spider was merely looking over
our paper to see which merchant was not ad-
vertising so he could go to that store, spin his
webb across the door and lead life of undis-
turbed peace ever afterward."
Retailing has come long way since those
days, and the art Of fsadvertising has undergone
great development. And advertising, by stores
or any other kind of business is typical out
growth of the competitive system. 1t is the best
possible means of reaching the people who
want goods and services, of urging the merits
of one brand as against another and of encour-
aging the consumer to go to some particular
retail outlet. That it benefits the consumer goes
without saying. No store keeper could long
charge an excessive price with competitors Of
fering in print the same or an equivalent pro-
duct at a lower price. And deceptive advertis-
ing always defeats it's own purpose. The wise
merchant advertises aggressively, but he bases
his story on appeal. not fiction.
Salesmanship is a driving force in keeping
the American economy running. Advertising is
the heart of it.-Morganton News-Herald. -

Will There Be Peace
And Food For All?

Lake Success-What will the
world be like in the year 1000? Will
there be peace, prosperity, and food
for all? Or hunger, poverty and dis
ease-war and chaos?
The scientists of A nations have
been told that they have it within
their grasp to plan a better world
for tomorrow.
According to the lead-off speak
ers at the United Nations scientific
conference now being held at Lake
Success, the key to the worlds fu-
ture is. conservation.
One after another, the speakers
warned that our present resources
are in danger of running out, unless
we find more intelligent and effec-
tive ways to conserve them.
War is the primary cause of the
depletion of the natural resources
Of the world-its copper and steel,
it's food and it's oil. In modern war,
the wealth and resources of nations
are squandered with reckless aban-
don. Stupid exploitation, based on
the hope of quick and easy profits
and nothing else, is another impor-
tant factor.
Some observers profess to see
still another basic cause.-the steady
increase in the worlds population.
A noted expert on conservation
told the scientists at Lake Success
that barring some great disaster
of global extent, there will be
three-billion people in the world by
the year 1000. Half the people in
the world are in want today.
