No member of OMMISSIONS FOR WHICH WE APOLOGIZE. In the list of graduates from the Coffee County High School, published in last week's issue, the following names were omitted: John E. Paschal, Floyd Emmett Puckett, Olen Skipper and Yancey Quinton Stephens. To each of the above-named students The Ledger very sincerely apologizes, and assures them that we regret very much the ommis-sions.

In the press of business, especially in the publication of a newspaper, mistakes are unavoidable. Nobody can possibly regret these mistakes more than does the publisher himself. BETTEFilESS APPARENTLY SURE NATIONAL PULSE NOW LESS JITTERY; HEAVY FUTURE BUYING. his Cabinet, no civil subordinate, ever attires himself in garments significant of military power. In this land of ours, this America, the average citizen sees so little of the army that he has not learned to distinguish between a major and a lieutenant from his shoulder straps.

When the Chief Executive addresses his fellow-countrymen they gather about him within handclasp distance. Goosestepping regiments are not paraded before him. When he speaks to the civilian population it is not over ranK upon ranic ox neimetea neaas. In this land of ours, this America, there is no tramp of military boots to entertain the visiting statesman. There is no effort to affright him with display of mobile cannon or of facility for mass production of aerial bombers.

In this land of ours, this America, there is no fortification along the several thousand miles of the northern border. In the great fresh water seas that party separate it from another dominion no naval craft plies the Along its southern border there are no forts, no show of martial strength. In this land of ours, this America, no youth is conscripted to labor on devices of defense; military training he may take or leave at option. There is no armed force consistent with a policy of aggression. The navy is built against no menace from the Western Hemisphere, but wholly for defense from Europe or Asia.

In this land of ours, this America, one-third of the population is foreign born or native born of foreign or mixed parentage. Our numerous "minorities" come from fourteen nations. The native born, whatever his descent, has all by him who traces his ancestry to born of races that are assimilable if they want them. We have "minorities" but no minority problem. In this land of ours, this America, the common citizen may criticize without restraint the policies of his government or the- aims of the Chief Executive.

He may advises and not as a ruler dictates. In this land of ours, this America, our songs are dedicated to love and romance, the blue of Ijhe night, sails in the sunset, and hot to might or to a martyrdom to political cause. Our national anthem has martial words; difficult air. But if you want to hear the organ roll give the people its companion "America of thee I sing." In lighter patriotism we are nationally cosmopolitan. Unitedly we sing of Dixie or of Ioway, where the tall corn grows, of Springtime in the Kockies.

Beginning today (Friday) and lasting for several days Talladega will observe "Fried Chicken Week." This really listens good to everybody, and particularly to preachers and editors, both of whom are no-toriusly appetite-strong for fried chicken. So far as is known, however, no general invitation has been extended to preachers and editors, so that's that Senator John H. Bankhead will appear on the annual farm-home week program to be held in Auburn on July 31-August 4. Senator Bankhead has never laid any claim to being an orator.

His speeches, which are straightforward and conversational, as well as common sense and reasonable in character, have a way of getting hard facts over to his hearers in a way that does the greatest possible amount of constructive good. Atticus Mullin, writing in The Advertiser, stated last Sunday that the State's income during the present fiscal year would lack something like six million dollars of being sufficient to meet expected demands expenses and appropriations. The people of Alabama feel that they are already paying about all they're able to pay toward maintaining the State government, and this feeling is quite likely to extend to the tax equalization boards, too. Twouldn't be a bad idea for the Governor to begin right now looking around for some, places where he can apply the axe. Senator P.

According to a study just com pleted, Saturday is shown to be the most dangerous day of the week on Alabama highways. In 1937 about twenty-five per cent of the motor vehicle accidents occurred on Saturday. But the report did not state when most of the accidents occurred, whether day or night Fierures iust released reveal that the Studv of German in the schnnla of the country has dropped almost fifty per cent during the past three years.

The local Baptists plan to remodel their audi torium in the near future. other nation, to upbuilding the industries of peace. We strut no armed might that could be ours. 5 We cause no nation in our half of the world to fear us. None does fear us, nor arm against us.

In this land of ours, this America, we have illuminated the true road to permanent peace. But "HOW DO WE GET When away from home' a-visit-ing, meeting people from other parts of the country, always we tell them we're from Enterprise and suggest that when they're in this section drive by and see our town and surrounding section. But when they say: "Enterprise? How do we get we suddenly wake up to the realization that we've been letting some good bets get by; we haven't done as much to publicize Southeast Alabama as we should have. Remember, our slogan is, "Enterprise, the Friendly Town," and we shouldn't delay in erecting the right sort of signs to turn traveling faces this way. This is one of the jobs that a Business Men's Association could put over quite effectively.

RIGHT, AS USUAL, FRIEND GROVER The Enterprise Ledger has a column of news briefs entitled, "Sittings." Could it be that John Henry Singleton, the editor, got the idea for this caption from a certain eminent American newspaper, once, published in Do-than, but now meeting all the mails in newspaper heaven? John Henry used to get his finger nails dirty working in the composing room of the Sittings of Dothah. The Montgomery Advertiser. Yes, Grover, you're right When Ye Editor began the column, nat-uarally he had to have a head, and the first name that popped into his noodle was "Sittings." Those were great old days, weren't they, when we worked on "The Wire-grass Sif You got your finger nails dirty, too, which practical experience, I'm pursuaded to believe, has played no little part in making of you one of the country's outstanding DESPERATE PQCHT OF FISHERMEN I've just heard of the harrowing experience of two fishmen on the lower reaches of the Choctaw-hatchee.

Now he IS in for trouble. Alexander City Outlook. Friends have been so encouraging that I stand not only stupefied but completely overwhelmed.

Nine women's club meetings within one week is something of a record-breaker for any Home Agent That number, of meetings was held by Miss Mamie B. Mathews last week with a total attendence of 106. Three of the meetings held in the morning, always a difficult accomplishment for a farm wife.

The necessary absence of Miss Mathews from the county for three days caused the crowded meeting dates. Clubs that'met were Ham, Ino, Basin, Evergreen, Everready, Pine Level, Calvary, Newbia. New Hope meeting was practically rained out. Accompanying Former Class mates to Washington Floyd Emmet Puckett, Jr. left Enterprise Tuesday morning to join the graduating class of the high school in Ft Gaines, on a trip to Washington, D.

Experts last week expressed themselves as believing that the heavy Spring slide in business had reached the bottom brackets, and a feeling seems evident throughout the nation that a general upturn may oe expected. i more auiomooiies are coming ott tne assembly lines in large plants.

It is also recorded that motor concerns have purchased steel for future delivery in ex cess of expectations. This would indicate that continued buying of new cars is expected. Thousands of miners went back to work in the soft coal fields after almost two months haggling over wage contracts. In some sections, however, there is still much unrest nut it is believed that differences are soon to be ironed out since the Federal government has de creed that peace must be made soon. The building industry, as re vealed by reports from all parts of the country, is in full swine.

No trouble is being experienced in securing money help to erect residence buildings and manufacturing plants. An all-time high seems to be confidently expected for the first six or eight months of 1939. In Washington the. moaopry comJ mittee began to dig into the reasons for idle money. Money manipu lators are of the opinion that the tension will soon be greatly lessened, but say that European conditions must shew betterment and Federal attitude toward business change considerably.

The England-France-Russia alliance, if consummated, will ease the pulse of Europe, and there seems a strong change of lessened antagonism toward capital by the New Deal provided capital shows a disposition to tote fair." There is an apparent lessening of gold inflow from abroad, which may be taken to mean that possessors of wealth outside this country believe there is now less reason for seeking a haven of safety for their accumulations than for several months past Of the pnncipal business ba rometers in the country only two showed a falling off during last week, these being carloadings and steel mill activity. Cotton manufacturing, automobile output, elec tric power use and residential building were all up from the pre ceding weeks. Throughout the South, from the Carolinas north to Texas west the reports are that crop prospects are somewhat better than average for the time of year. Generally stands are better and in most sections sufficient open weather has been enjoyed to keep cultivation eoinsr on satisfactorily. In the Wiregrass section of Ala bama here where we must eet our living and the cash wherewith to pay off obligations the promise of good crops are considerablv above the average for the season of the year.

The plan is for each boy who cares to avail himself of the opportunity, to borrow $10.00. With it he will buy a purebred pig. He must repay the loan with interest after he has raised his first litter of pigs. The 4-H pig breeder agrees to following feeding and management practices as recom mended by the Extension workers of the county. The loans will be made to boys who are interested in this project and who have feed and pasture facilities with which to make it profitable.

He also emphasized that personal cleanliness was expected. Bravo, Captain! California has an effective way of handling her vagrant problem.

People who go to that State without means and who expect to get employment after they arrive there, are subject to deportation to the State from which they came. In order to become a citizen of California one must live there for a year and become a qualified voter; otherwise, it's "Leave, or we'll send you." A veritable hornet's nest has been created around the President's head over the purchase of 48,000 pounds of Argentine beef for the American navy. Now the Dallas (Texas) News come forward with the information that textile mills in the United States are importing Brazilian cotton, pointing to one specific instance of 5,000 bales. Consistency, thou art a-jewel; inconsistency, thou stink-eth to high heaven I Last week David Sarnoff, once a boy telegrapher and later to become head of the Radio Corporation of America, told the boys of America: "Don't be misled into believing that somehow the world owes you a living.
