Ten False Beliefs
Of 20th Century
By Fred G. Clark
and
Richard Stanton Rimanoczy
1. That peace among nations can be
secured by any means other than
superior military strength on the
part of the peace-loving peoples.
2. That international friendship can be
secured through gifts rather than
through genuine common principles
and purposes.
3. That the moral character of a nation
as a whole can be better than the
moral character of its citizens as
individuals.
4. That anybody’s opinion as to how
to run the country is as good as
anybody else’s.
5. That government can give things to
the people without first taking them
away from the people.
6. That if we keep experimenting long
enough we will find a substitute for
an honest day’s work.
7. That somewhere and somehow there
simply must be a substitute for hon
est money.
8. That somewhere in the depths of
“scientific socialism” there must be
a substitute for the love of one’s
neighbor.
9. That stealing is not stealing when
the majority of the voters vote in
favor of it.
10. That personal economic security,
guaranteed by government, is possi
ble without the loss of personal
liberty.

century ago—shows a group of students
of Gillam’s Academy in Alamance
County who walked several miles to
Burlington to have the picture made in
March, 1898. Several local men are

Health Hint:
CONTROLLING TB
Not so long ago, when the doctor said,
“It’s tuberculosis,” he was in effect
pronouncing a sentence of death. Today,
because of great advances in chemo
therapy and surgery, recovery from
tuberculosis is becoming more and more
the rule. But the words, “It’s TB,” are
still a shock.
It is not easy for anyone to face the
fact that he has a serious chronic di
sease, that he will likely have to en
dure the strangeness and tedium of a
long hospital stay, separated from fami
ly and friends. Yet the best medical
results depend on his facing the facts,
on his full understanding that the TB
hospital is a place of opportunity, not
just a prison where he will be isolated
for the protection of others.
The patient who refuses to go to the
hospital when advised to do so or who
leaves against medical advice is likely
to lose his battle with tuberculosis.
Death or a real life sentence of de
pendent invalidism may be the result.
The restless, unhappy patient has the
poorest chance for a quick recovery. In
the TB hospital there is definitely
