DEMOCRACY IN ARMS
By MARTHA LEE MADDOX
President Roosevelt said that this
generation of Americans has a “ren
dezvous with destiny.” The ren
dezvous is now at hand. We are
reasonable people. More than any
thing else in our national character,
we value our sense of j'ustice. Our
ancestors founded this nation upon
the God given rights of the common
man, and we who came after them
know that they built it well because
they built it upon the rock.
We have never wavered in our
adherence to the clear and simple
principles which they laid down be
cause we know that they express
the deepest truths of our nature.
We have been blessed beyond all
other nations; we have not been
driven, as others have, to espouse
the dark creeds of intolerance, bigo
try and tyranny. Asa nation and
as individuals we have drawn our
strength from the inexhaustible well
of freedom.
We look out upon a world that is
being torn by the murderous folly of
those who have never known what
it is to be free, and who are so poi
soned by hatred and fear that they
would infect all others with ' their
own corruption.
f
They are not dedicated; they are
driven. They are animated not by
ideals, but by compulsion. What
unity they possess was enforced up
on the weak and helpless; they came
into power among the ruins of a de
feated nation, and with their ni
hilism they would lay the whole
world in ruins. It is true that Amer
ica does not know its own strength.
That strength has never been tested
much until now. With every day
that passes we grow in strength.
Through initiative, through co
operation, through the resourceful
ness of local manufacturers’ associa
tions, American industry has demon
strated that it can handle the most
tremendous and complicated job
that has ever been assigned to it,
and furthermore, that it can handle
it under pressure and against time
without sacrificing quality or pre
cision, and that it can do all this
in an orderly and reasonable way
that the very essence of democracy
in arms.
Yes, America is in arms. It is
already fighting the total war and
it is fighting it with ita own wea-

the movies now that he sees one so

Harold Barnes, Quartermaster
Corps, Ft. Jackson and his lovely

Russell Edwards, son of Mr. and
Mrs. E. R. Edwards of Flovilla, is

Denver, Colo.
Sam Gay, U. S. Army, has been

pons. The weapons are tolerance,
good humor, determination, re
sourcefulness, cooperation, loyalty,
and all those other old-fashioned
qualities that have flourished here
for more than a hundred years.
When the first civilian soldiers
began to arrive at the camps, they
entered this Army as representatives
of all the people; they came from
every section, every walk of life,
and every social group.
They came as individuals, be it
remembered, and they are being
treated as individuals. America
faces a world crisis in this year of
1942. Today, war rages over three
continents. With ruthless precision
and utter disregard of human rights,
nation after nation has been over
run, lives and property destroyed,
and dictatorship and despair substi
tuted for democracy and decency.

Keep ’Em Flying.”

Athens, Ga. MacArthur Day

have passed the 8,000,000 mark, al
most enough metal to build a heavy

FERTILIZING COTTON
Animal manures make excellent
fertilizer for cotton, in the opinion
of the Extension workers. However,
the supply of manure on most farms
is small. If a light application is
made in the row, a small amount can
be made to cover several acres.
