They Memories 203 The night after election a great are ^ toUow8: meeting was held in Carnegie, Hall in New York, not to celebrate 201 1^0—Tomel Middleton, R. F. a victory or mourn a defeat but to bury the hatchet. Men and women of all political beliefs, of 202 all racial origins, all creeds and faiths, spoke the same language. The keynote was the one word: "Unity.” \ Nothing could better express the spirit of democracy than this determination to stand united as a people behind the leaders of the people’s choice, after the most bitter ^md hard-fought Presiden tial election of many years. In the campaign every animosity of group against group, class against class, race against race, creed a- gainst creed, was brought out into the open and used by one side or the other to further its ends. All of the fears, the hatreds, the sus picions and the distrusts felt by any Americans against other Americans were thoroughly aired. Now, having got all those things off our chests, it is time to forget them, at least until the next elec tion, and to get together as Amer icans, to make it our business, the business of every one of us, to revivify the true spirit of America and to keep it alive in a world where everything America stands for seems to be threatened. Nothing would make the ene mies of human liberty happier than to see Americans divided a- mong themselves. Nothing could ; endanger our national safety more than to keep alive or t ag- D. 1, Box 77, Willington, S. C. 29—Maurice (Huot) Adams, R. F. D. 3, McCormick, S.

V i NOTICE OF TAX SALE gravate the antagonisms which 218 942—Earnest Smith, Parks- showed themselves in the recent campaign. We have a big job a- head of us, a job in which all must do their part and none must- be permitted to hinder. That is the job of building our national defenses to the point where we can be perfectly sure that no pos sible attack from outside our shores can be effective. Only by so safeguarding our physical boundaries can we be sure of keeping alhte the spiritual heritage which is the real Amer ica. If proof were needed that the'American people are united in that objective, it is provided by the fact that there was no issue as between parties or candidates on that question. All were agreed that the first need of the nation is to speed up work on our de fenses; and give all possible help to \the few remaining democracies overseas who are fighting for the same objectives that we of Ameri ca must preserve. So let us bury the hatchet and pull together to prove that democ racy is not an outworn, but a liv ing, vital force, the greatest force in the world today. x Eight Added To NYA Rolls And Eight Dropped In October ville, S.
