By the way — has that $500,000 borrowed from Lewis by the Demo cratic party been repaid. The people would like to know. Our new 100 per center Senator Maybank might get this information from the admin istration and release it to the public. I Have Found ReUef AtiLast Up to about 10 days ago I kept a radid in my office. I did not use it except for war news. It back-flred on me, went nearly dead, and exuded only the most violent kind of static. Naturally I discontinued using it. I have found out something since that radio went‘ dead. I am a different man. I can now attend to my busi ness. I find it easy and pleasant to be kind and attentive to traveling men, visitors and strangers. In fact— am now back in business. Trophy Banquet Tuesday Night You Pay The Bill During the past three months the public debt of the United States has increased from 50.5 billions dollars to almost 55 billions.

The news and advertising columns of The Chronicle next week, will tell of the celebration in an attractive way.

This amount, we are told, is sufficient to provide needed food for one soldier 204 xiays and pay for his breakfast and noonday meal on the 205th day. But it win not be quite enough to pay for an upholstered mahogany settee, delivered to a government of fice in Washington with a price tag of $86.14. That’s where your money goes. High government officials in Wash ington, congressmen and senators, are living in luxury in air-condi tioned and steam-heated buildings elegantly furnished with every con- I would watch both clocks and my pocket watch to avoid missing war news. When a program got by me— I didn’t like it. I was distmi^ for an hour or so thereafter. I never learned anything new from war news. Usually it was the Gennans had the Russians surrounded and the Russians had the Germans surround ed and that England had bombed CJermany and vice versa. It got so’s I was so confused about the war or the lies that were being told about it—I didn’t have half sense a third of the time. Since my radio passed on, 1 am a different man. My blood pressure is down 25 {joints, or within 45 of nor mal. My pulse is more regular. I can eat a square meal (when I can find one) and digest most of it. I have gained 4 jxiunds in weight. I hear some better. I am not worrying much about the 7 ulcers in my stum- mick—that the doctor found, and I am sweeter to my folks at home. Ra dio war news is nearly as bad and as untrue as newspapjer war news. At home I listen to a few musical programs and one or two others that I have become attached to, but wars and rumors of wars and more wars don’t {jester my equanimity any more. Let ’em fight—if they ain’t got any more sense than to fight. Let the isolationists boil up and bust—let the labor leaders go to—well, I won’t say it, but I’m fed up on war news and strike news and a few men>and women in this country that don’t be long here.

C., Dec. 1.—Divis ional organization conferences in nine different places for recently elected officers of 77 Kiwahis plubs in North and South Carolina were announced here today by District Governor-elect J.

Such chatter is meaning- reduced to simplest terms, grow out i ^®ss and makes np impression uijon of the same kind of ill-temper, poor | those who think tfor themselves. So sportsmanship, misunderstanding, j t^ng as Washington office-holders greediness and bullying which makejtive sumptuously, s{jend and waste neighbors stop s{>eaking, families taxpayers’ money — what they say break up, and boys start swinging at one another’s jaw. Nations have the same character istics as the people who make up those nations. So long as {jeople are impatient, easily anger^, mean, quick to jump at wrong conclusions and anxious to get revenge,' nations will continue to play those same roles. A nation is merely a large col lection of individuals. Ignoring the issues of the ^present spreading war, or any other war, there is little doubt that the {jerma- nent end of war awaits the time when all {jeople will live according to the commandment, “Love held Dcember 2-9 in Marion, Moores- venience that migM be jvished—-all j viUe, Elkin, Fayetteville, BurUngton, Reanoke Rapids and Florence and NOBODY'S BUSINESS By GEE McGEE Mr. Slim Chance, Jr., Is On the Lookout mr. slim chance, jr., has benn chose to be the chief air-plane s{Jotter of, flat rock and vicinity, he has alreddy t thy' took up his work on top of his wife’s Greer, S.

And if individuals cannot solve their {jetty problems, how mgy we ever exfiect nations to remain at {jeace? A One-Sided Law Now that the arbitration board on the pro{josed coal miners’ strike has gone to work on its job it is in order that consideration be given to the practice of making contributions to {jolitical parties. Federal laws pro hibit (and wisely so) corporations making such contributions for the bility that they often lead to corrup tion and embarrassing situations. There is the other side of this question which has been neglected. Unions are allowed to make'such contributions and this is one of the factors that has hel{jed bring about the serious situation now confronting the nation. Back in 1936 this cocky, grasping John L. Lewis, a Roosevelt enthusiast, came forward and {JOured $500,000 in the campaign chest of President Roosevelt. That put the victorious New Ileal administration under obligation to Lewis as is evi denced by the way they have coddled him. It also gave Lewis the idea he owned the Vfhite House, that what ever he demanded he would get, that when a choice or decision was made it must on his side. It gave him the added feeling that when he popijed his whip, congressmen and senators would jump because of the heavy vote strength of organized labor, es pecially in the large city areas. That is exactly what the great tnajority of the members of congress have done the {>ast several years, «id are still doing. If contributioas by corporations to poUtieal parties are not permitted, neither dKMld Lewis or any other labor leader be allowed to put poUti- job and he is verry proud of it. It keeps him from helping his wife with the chores around the house, he is employed by the gowerment, and ranks along with the doUar-a-year fellers. mr. chance has rote a letter to mr. roebuck 8c Co., to kindly donate a telescope to the service so’s he can spot danger further away, if he had of had a telescope the other day he could of discerned that die said vul ture was ndt a natzi lufewaffer an. soforth. he takes his }(^ verry serious and rites a {jostal card to the war department each wedc-end and tells everthing he saw. he says that he moiight be able to put in a for services rendered after the war is over like the bonus was done in $he last war. mr. chance stays on duty some nights till 7:30 pm. he says that no german flyer could see how'to drop a bumb after that itme and that is why he closes up so early, he hppea his watdiing-for-bumbs job will be permanent, he is not strong immigh in his bade to work anodter eri^ flor the boll weevils to set up. bt is will ing to ssire. his country and try to PERSONAL Jaoe —I'n ready to confcwl You thought I had some special “knack” with bakinx.
