Charles de Gaulle of France attacking the United States dollar. At- he knows nothing about economics. He knows nothing to speak of about the gold standard. Least of all the American dollar. All he is today is a meddling old man, and the free world would be better off if he were to cast his lot with the angels. De Gaulle is upsetting Canada by meddling with the pop ulation of French descent, urging on them independence which would not be to their best interests in this situation. France will be a lot better off when De Gaulle is only a nightmarish memory. If the United States put a ban on tourist travel to France, it might serve to shock the Parisians into a world of reality. France couldn’t afford the loss. But France could afford the loss of Charles de Gaulle. County, Red Cross Agree Mr. Emmett Lee, Clayton County Red Cross Advisory Chairman and Mr. Clayton Christopher, Civil Defense Director for the county, this week signed an agreement for their respective organi zations outlining responsi bilities for ARC-CD efforts in disaster operations. The purpose of the guide is to make possible more effective cooperation between the two groups and to prevent mis understanding, confusion or duplication of efforts during an operation. According to Grady Lind sey. Clayton Disaster Chair man, Red Cross is responsi ble for extending assistance to individuals and families in need as a result of nat ural disasters and for pro viding immediate supplies of food, clothing, shelter, medical and nursing or hos pital care for a mass opera tion or for individuals as needed. Food service will also be extended to civil de fense and other rescue workers helping at the scene of a disaster when normal facilities are not available. "Further assistance to aid those without sufficient re sources to reestablish them selves may include food, clothing and maintenance; repair or rebuilding of own er-occupied dwellings; the provision of essential house hold furnishings, of medical, nursing and hospital care and of occupational supplies and equipment,” he added. Those serving under Mr. Lindsey on the Disaster Committee include W. W. Amis, Jonesboro; Ernest if nr rat Jark TFm Jr and tacking U. S. business men who have business interests in France, and at tacking Great Britain's proposed en try in the Common Market. Who saved De Gaulle’s skin in the First World War? Why, Britain and the United States. He sought sanc tuary—and it was granted—in Great Britain. American armed forces saved France in World War I, and surely again in World War 11. Saved De Gaulle once again as well. And Great Britain helped. But the main idea about De Gaulle is that his career has been military; Stroud and A. L. Patterson. Shelter; Mrs. Joy Huie.
