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.
'KEEP 'EM FLYING"
"Keep 'em Flying'" Is the now na-|
tional slogan adopted by tho 1'. S. I
War Department lots tho duration-?of j
the emergency, one thai is expected]
to become a popular, everyday expres- j
sion, used bv persons of all age and
in nil walks of life. As an expression j
of fclbily and high morale It is hoped!
that it will supplant such commonplace
expressions as "So long!" "I'll i
ho serine \ ou". and other similar j
ones.
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."

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. WILL HELP 8WING
