Friday, July 18, 1941 AMERICA 18 A BEAUTIFUL WORD What do you awe when you look at tho word America? What mental picture do the seven letters create In in your mind? To me the capital letter "A" suggests our magnificent snow-covered mountain peaks, and the wigwams of the Original Americans. The letter "m" symbolizes the broad shoulders of our pioneers; shouldersto-the-wheel pushing our frontiers westward; broad shoulders a winging axes, building u Nut ion. The letter "e" might bo tho lariats of the cowboys riding the plains; lariats of Kit Carson or -Buffalo Hill. Tho letter "r" Is a man with hand outstretched In friendship and cooperation toward all who love freedom, Justice and peace. The letter "1" represents the individual American with his rights to life, liberty and tho pursuit of happlnoss. The letter "a" Is a bout bow from which anvarrow has Just sped toward tho stars of mankind's highest Ideals. Tho flnul letter "a" Is a mun on his knees In pruyer. symbolizing a Nation which recognizes Its Creator and gives thanks for His blessings. Yes. AMERICA is a beautiful word.?Tuylor (Neb). Clarion. NOT ENOUGH SMILES PER MILE A lady remarked that she and a companion stood on a busy street corner studying the faces of those who passed. Only occasionally did they observe one with a smile or happy expression. She wondered if everyone was worried or unhappy, because there was scarcely a smile to the mile of the traffic she had seen pass by. The two determined to see If smiles were contagious. They Joined the moving throng smiling at everyone they mot, sometimes nodding a greeting. Some stared at them coldly. Some Ignored them entirely while a few were provoked ^o a return of tho smile. Does the Experience of the ladles prove that Imost people are non-sociable or unhappy? Maybe It Is that the complex way of life as It Is now lived has over burdened the race and anxiety has crowded out smiles and happy thoughts. And probably, too, that's why the doctors are overworked and the hospitals are overcrowded. There Is need for more smile mileage.?The Laurens Advertiser.

MURMAN8K Greedy Germans After Russia's Only Free Arctic Port Murmansk, German objective In a drive from northern Finland, 1b HubHla'H only Ice-free Arctic port. It Is the terinlnuH of the world's most northern railway, winding 900 miles northwurd from Leningrad, says a bulletin from the National Geographic Society. ? "The city enjoys virtually the same temperature as Moscow, 925 miles to the southeast, because or warm currents from the Atlantic Ocean," the bulletin adds. "For tho same reason the sea approach Is practically free from Ice floes, though Murmansk Is farther north than Iceland. "Becaufee of Its nlghtless summers, j Murmansk Is now free from any surprise night attacks. For six weoks or more the sun gives 24 hours of unbroken light cvory day. In midwinter a sunset glow to tho south at noon marks tho sun's nearest approach. "The beginning of the settlement, less than 30 years ago. wore not unlike those of the frontier towns In America. The buildings, mostly one story high, wore constructed of unhewn logs chunked with native moss. Tho closing of Russia's Baltic ports during the World War Increased shipping through Murmansk. At the cloa* of the wur Its population was 2,000; today tho progressive city numbers 120,000 inhabitants. I "The needlo of the colnpass was the divining rod that disclosed the vicinity I of Murmansk, which form tho basis ' of the city's industries, and make sailing by compass impossible in the region. In addition to the metals industries. Murmansk has a phosphorus works, ship building yards, canning factories for the thousands of tons of fish brought annually to the port, a ! cold storage plant, an electric power plant, furniture and other wood proi ducts plants. "Tho railroad which promoted Murmansk has been completed since 1914. | Its construction through dense for ests and over swamps, bogs, and frozen lakes was an engineering achievement. The northern section from Kandalaksha across the Kola Peninsula to Murmansk was the work of British engineres. The railroad required some 1,110 bridges. "The importance of the port was enhanced by the development of the northern sea route from Murmansk through Artie waters north of Siberia about 6,000 miles to Vladivostok on the Pacific Coast. For three months of the year this route shortens sea distances to Vladivostok by more than half. "Murmansk is situated on the eastern shore of the deep Zola fjord,1 30 miles south of its opening into the Barents Sea arm of the Artie Ocean." Kershaw Man Killed In North Kershaw, July 14?News was received by relatives in Kershaw today of the death of James Allen Twltty, 24, who was reported to have been accidentally killed at Fort Hamilton, N. Y. Mr. Twltty enlisted in the army four months ago, and was stationed at Fort Bragg, Fayettville, N. C., until recently. Details of the accident are not known here _ . Surviving are five brothers, Henry Twltty of Fort Jackson, Robert, Manley, Fred and Spencer Twitty, and two sisters, Mrs. Dan West and Mrs. Mendel Wright, all of Kershaw. Funeral arrangements were incomplete tonight pending further information. ? Bishopville Postmaster Named Washington, .July 15?President Roosevelt nominated Richard M. Smith to be postmaster at Bishopville, S. C. Many Men To Take Part in War Games By James D. Grist Soldiers of the national army numbering between 400.000 and 600,000 will maneuver or do all the stunts they do In battle without actually killing and maiming any body in au area between Fort Jackson and Fort Urhgg. N. C., including a part of York county, beginning some time early in October. It's an army maneuver so big and theie are so mauy possibilities conuected with K that nobody appears to know how big it is. Tills reporter sat in the private office of Brigadier General Holmes B. Springs in the state office bulldlug In Columbia, the other day, chatting with the general and Col. W. N. Cork, his first aide, or one of them, in administering the selective service act In South Carolina. Both of these men are generally regarded iu the top hank of military leaders not only iu South Carolina but the country for that matter. They study military tactics, administration and troop movements or things military Just as I study ways and means to try and make a better and more dependable Yorkvifle Enquirer or as you study turkey growing or peach growing or textiles or store-keeping or farming or preaching or teaching or whatever you do. "It is beyond* a doubt the biggest maneuver of troops the world has ever known," said General Springs. Washington is now busy working out plans and detail and so Is my office and the office of Governor Maybank. There are roads to be built; bridges to be built; supplies to be provided for?hundreds and hundreds of matters to be attended. We have been working hard and will work hard. General Springs and Col. Cork may be depended upon to do a thorough job. They are veterans of the world war. Most of their respective active lives has been been connected with soldiering. Incidentally, they don't say much about it; because they are not allowed; but they realize the world situation is grave and they are in full accord with President Roosevelt's repeated statement that so far as this country is concerned national emergency exists. To Become Military Minded So far as York county is concerned and the whole maneuver area is concerned. Sharon, and McConnelsville and Ybrk and Rock Hill and Clover will become army minded and war minded as the public here has not been so minded since the days of the world war. The whole social, I Industrial and economic picture of the community will likely be changed. How the visitors will be taken care of and whether or not they can be taken care of is a big problem now. York county farmers who have produce to sell will sell It at a good price and better. The demand 'will likely far exceed the supply. Already engineers of. the army are making Inquiry in York and Rock Hill and Sharon and other towns and communities about ware-houses that might be available for the storage of supplies. Truth is there are not many storage houses available anywhere in the maneuver area. The government may have to build their own. Eggs may get so high in York county that it will cost a quarter to hear a hen cackle. Of course XI t-he..-g.ayernmeht depended on York county farmers to ' supply all* the rations for those soldiers who will he marching and maneuvering through York county, why It couldn't he done. There aren't enough truck growers growing enough truck. South Carolina farmers, to say nothing of those in York county don't grow enough meat and bread and vegetables and fruit to feed themselves much less an army of 400,000 or more soldiers. Won't March Through Towns The soldiers won t march or maneuver through York qr Rock Hill or Chester or other towns between Columbia and Fayettevllle where Fort Bragg Is located. But the soldiers will be In and out of those towns? hundreds of them, likely thousands of them. None of the towns are particularly large In the maneuver area. How they are going to entertain the visitors with present facilities well, Utey Just can't do m?efc-bf a Job of It. For instance, there lsnt a building in the town of York that would seat 1,000 people. Name It. The oomlng of the army maneuver should mean njuch to the Piedmont section including York cdunty. In many particulars. The soldiers who comprise the First Army corps on maneuver corns from alt over the foujUry, Hundreds.of^tha^ ifiAtn rm. A?A will bA OfdllUtrT CAKDP I tury Park where Colonel Camp and Colonel Harp and Superintendent T. D. Ravenel, 1IV* of the state recreational park are doing such a grand Job. Will Bring Change The settled, smug and satisfied and sophisticated town of York will hardly know Itself by the time the big army maneuvers start and eud, according to the military authortles In Columbia. Sam L. Latimer, managing editor of the State of Columbia, told this reporter the other day that his information from the war department was that never in all history has there been military maneuvering force on such a scale as that which will luvade York and other counties in October. Incidentally, Editor Latimer Is assigning Reporter Robinson of the State staff to cover the maneuver troops; so York and Rock Hill and other tow us may expect many a head-Hue about their respective towns which should be Joyful news to Miss Marie Fowell of Rock Hill; Mrs. Clara Edmunds Bookout of York and other commercial secretaries iu the maneuver area. , Robluson did a good Job reporting 'the Thirtieth maneuvers In Tennessee. Pharaoh Waa Piker Pharaoh did quite a maneuver, according to the Bible when he chased the children of Israel under General Moses InJto the Red Sea and got drowned for his pains; but that was small stuff compared with what York is to see. Samson, according to the Book, did a job of maneuveruig when he. rounded up 1,000 Philistines and then brushed them off with the brayv log bone of an ass; but that was piker stuff compared with America's maneuver of 400,000 and more of soldier boys who are going to get practical war teaching right here in York county. All the soldiers that ever fought or marched through North and South Carolina from the Revolutionary War all down through the history of this 1 country never numbered 400,000 men and better. Think of it. There are 1 little more than 50,000 people including all those opposed to a thorough 1 audit and investigation of York county divisions of government and sub- 1 divisions in all ot York county. Think of 400,000 soldiers. That is more people than those who will vote to( 1 elect Governor Maybank or somebody else to the United States senate to succeed Senator Alva Lumpkin. York in all its history never saw as many people as will be in the neighborhood during the months of October and November. It's so big a proposition; It's hard to take in. York folks are advised to get ready to receive this army. Treat 'em right. Remember they are your soldiers and may be called upon to protect your firesides and your children and other loved ones against a potential ruthless Invader. U. S.
