A compact item quoting Galatians 4 9 urging perseverance with a reminder that idleness and pride carry heavier costs than rulers. The note credits Franaklin as the source phrase author.
William Henry Chamberlin argues civilization faces a third crisis blending war and revolution after a history of Reformation and French Revolution. The piece links world conflicts, economic shifts, and rising totalitarianism to current defense taxation debates. It notes a stiff tax bill and public acceptance of higher levies to fund defense.
The text argues that totalitarian powers fail to secure Europe and parts of Africa and Asia while democracies remain vigilant. It envisions a multi-year conflict, but asserts liberty endures. Chamberlin’s view highlights the need to overcome nationalism and harness science and invention to raise living standards for all through cooperation rather than domination.
The piece notes most High Point stations observe a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. closure to conserve gasoline but some outside the city still keep night hours. It argues this hurts compliant urban stations and urges voluntary county-wide cooperation, comparing Asheville's committee-led enforcement to discourage compulsory rules.
Within a year people will feel more than ever their responsibility to the government that made their freedom possible. The statement emphasizes a rising civic duty as the public recognizes the link between liberty and governance.
The Raleigh Times notes Nazi propaganda may mislead about Soviet losses while Soviets claim over 1.5 million Nazi casualties. A separate Countryman account from Australia recounts a near miss with a three wheel Ford after a wheel detached, leaving the car perched on two and a rear wheel.
A Missouri farmer nearly drowned himself over debt and loss around the turn of the century. His son recalls a life of faith, virtue, and selflessness shaping his father's fate and their family. The piece blends personal history with reflections on education, success, and moral values.
Walter Winchell recounts how public studio tours draw 30 000 visitors monthly, wasting millions from delays and distractions. He notes a surge of outsiders seeking access to stars and sets, while critics warn that trips by buses and promoters threaten film production, including a cited incident during How Green Was My Valley with John Ford directing Maureen O Hara and Walter Pidgeon.
A tongue in cheek tour through studio life recalls a Welsh mine backdrop spent over a million dollars and a laughing mishap when a stray child disrupted a scene. The piece notes visitors forge letters or boasted favors while warning that motion pictures are built in stealth, with three minutes of script time daily and most work spent lighting, rehearsing, and re shooting to create the illusion on screen.
A jumble of local briefs from Guilford College and Greensboro area items notes a Yearly Meeting session, a furniture market close, a Monarch Club talk, health and school updates, and political tidbits. It references Mrs H A White, Dr P E Lindley, James B Lovelace, Eb ert High, Willis Johnson Jr, Ruth Mungo, H C Fields, and Crisinger.
In Washington the new wartime tax bill faces doubt as to its revenue from 40 items, with auto production curbs and defense shifts risking lower yields. If auto cuts approach 50 percent, revenues could shrink from an estimated 74.9 million to around 45-50 million, forcing further borrowing. Despite risks, defense spending nears SX billion, and national income may reach 95 billion in 1942.
