Peace No ‘Danger’
It would be a sad state of affairs if the
world had to go on spending $l2O billion an
nually for armaments, as it does today, just
to keep the economy from turning topsy
turvy. It is encouraging that a group of nine
experts, including Communists and capitalists,
has decided that world peace could come
without serious consequences.
“All problems and difficulties of transition
could be met by appropriate national and in
ternational measures,” said the United Na
tions group, which included representatives of
the United States and the Soviet Union, along
with men from seven other nations.
Some people have wondered what would
happen to our missile, airplane, electronics
and other industries producing for defense,
should Khrushchev “declare” a real peace
instead of the phony one he is always talk
ing about ...
Obviously there would be much disruption
u) in many communities dependent largely on
defense contracts. But Russia would have
as great a problem as we, if not a greater
one ...
Actually, the problem of reconversion
would be much simpler than it was after
World War 11, the U.N. experts pointed out.
In the late years of that conflict, the United
States poured 40 per cent of its gross na
tional product into armaments. Now the
SSO billion a year spent for defense repre
sents only 10 per cent of the GNP.
« Os cou.se, there was a great unfulfilled de
mand for j-’ods at the end of the war. This
made it possible to dispose of large numbers
of automobiles and other goods the people
had not been able to buy during the war . . .
In this country, at least, that demand has
been pretty well satisfied since 1945.
But the world needs good, commodities
and services of all kinds which could be satis
fied if 8 to 9 per cent of all the world’s pro
duction were not devoted to preparation for
possible war. It would take super planning
to finance the satisfaction of these needs and
find jobs for some 50 million persons now
enrolled in the armies of the world or en
gaged in making arms. But it could be done.
The U.N. experts said priorities would
have to be established among the competing
demands for the. wealth and manpower re
leased by disarmament. Some of the wealth
could go to higher pay, lower taxes and short
er work weeks. Education, housing, health
and increased care for the aged would take
a share of diverted money and energy. Re
search for peaceful purposes, such as travel
in outer space, exploration of the Arctic and
Antarctic and climate control, could claim
scientists now engaged in the arms race.
Possible tripling of aid to underdeveloped na
tions was mentioned.
... It is nice to know that the experts
think we could afford peace, if it were possi
ble. —The (Portland) Oregonian.
Law Breakers, Accident Makers
We’ve often said that “law breakers are
accident makers.” and now there’s reliable
proof to back it up.
In a report coming out of the State De
partment of Motor Vehicles there is good
evidence that disregard of the traffic laws
is commonplace among the state’s two million
licensed drivers.
In a column marked “Important circum
stances and conditions,” the agency’s traffic
experts show that 78 percent of North Caro
lina’s 60,000 wrecks last year were caused
by drivers who violated a law.
The same experts have said time and again
that a definite relationship exists between
traffic violations and traffic accidents. This
fact, we suspect, is about the only thing that
will tend to convince lawbreakers of the er
ror of their ways.
An “anything goes if you can get away
with it” attitude poses.a grave problem to
traffic safety people. It’s an obvious imposs
ibility for state’troopers to patrol every mile
of every road all the time. And people of
this type aren't going to obey the rules when

SOMEWHERE IN FLORIDA —
Shucks, my ego took a sudden toboggan
slide Thursday. When leaving for Elizabeth
City to be married, I noticed a lot of flags
out in the business section, and thought they
were to celebrate my wedding day. But
upon arriving at the armory, a lot of ]>eople
were on hand, so that I realized the flags
were out in connection with Edenton’s Trade
Fair. And being out of town on a honey
moon during the Trade Fair, here’s hoping it
was a big success.
o
And speaking about a honeymoon?: I’ve
taken particular notice that folks in South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida capitalize on
what they have to show the tourist. Os
course, the sights are worth seeing, but then
Edenton has some historical sites which are
equally as interesting and appealing to' the
tourist.
o
I’ll try to get up with Parson Ashley at
St. Augustine before going further into
Florida. Many in Edenton will remember
that Parson Ashley was a former rector at
St. Paul’s Church and on a previous visit
some years ago he was very happy to see
me and was a very gracious host. However,
I’m bound to go to the P'ountain of Youth,
and while there I’m planning on drinking a
double portion of that thar water. I surely
don’t want to come home using a cane.
o
Then, too. I’m planning to skip over to
Silver Springs to watch the fish from a glass
bottomed boat. I’ve been unable to catch
any fish around Edenton lately and maybe
I’ll be able to learn a little about their habits.
o
Anyway, a honeymoon is a good way to
get a much needed rest, but the bad part of
it is to look ahead a little arid realize how
much work will pile up to be done upon ar
riving home.
o
One interesting occasion on my way to
. Florida was taking a boat ride at Cypress
Gardens near Charleston, S. C. The good
part about it was that a colored man paddled
the boat all over the place, so that I and the
new Missus sat back and took it easy. The
only trouble was that the colored boat paddler
didn’t provide a fishing line—on account of
no fishing is allowed,
i o
Spending a night at Jacksonville Beach
it’s wonderful to go to sleep to the tune of
the mighty Atlantic pounding its waves on
the beach. And to look out over the great
expanse of water and note the fury of the
waves, one can but marvel at a wonderful
work of nature and realize the insignificance
of man. And speaking about nature, the
beautiful flowers in the azalea gardens near
Wilmington and other places in South Caro
lina and Georgia are far more beautiful than
the most noted artists could paint.
O I
There’s one regret I’ve had while in Florida.
Quite a few Edenton people live in various
parts of F'lorida and I went away from Fiden
ton without jotting down their addresses so
that 1 could go to see ’em.
o
Here’s one who missed the Town Council
meeting Wednesday night, one of the very
few times I've been absent. But I could not
but think of the meeting, although I was
able to go to bed when I got good and ready.
O
Who in the dickens feels like writing
enough to fill this column while on a honey
moon? Heading for a dip in the Atlantic,
where I might be when Pete Manning is put
ting this in type.
they’re not being watched.
The result is that these problem children
of the highways are causing traffic accidents
every working day and Sunday.
What they fail to understand is that no
body gets away with highway lawlessness in
definitely. If the troopers don’t catch up
with them, the law of averages assuredly
will. They always take just once chance too
many and wind up in a wreck of their own
making.
Drivers should realize that traffic laws are
on their side and should know and obey them.
It’s a moral responsibility to do so.
Yet many otherwise substantial citizens lay
aside this morality and treat traffic laws cas
ually, even ignore them when it’s incon
venient to comply.
If anyone had an easy solution to this
problem, our traffic death rate would fall ap
preciably. So far, though, there’s no pros
pect of anyone painlessly injecting a sense of
responsibility into drivers. Instead we’ll
have to rely on the tried and true methods
of education and enforcement.
If such drivers can be persuaded one way
or the other that they are to suffer
because of their irresponsible conduct, maybe
they’ll act more intelligently behind the wheel.
