THE GLEANER GRAHAM, N. C? FEB. 1, 1945 UML'KU KVKKV TIILMftOAY J. D. KERNODLE, JR., Manager * *1.00 4 fEAR, IN ADVANCE Kntered at *u? l*uau>lllc? a I Urutiam N.C.. at i atu*r HUMILIATING What happens when a nation begins to live by the grace of government subsidies is indicated in the present position of dairy farmer. A large part of their income is now made up of sub sidies. The Federal subsidy on milk is due to end March 31 un less the government sees fit to , renew it. Commenting on the situation, the Dairymen's League Co operative Association says: "Without advance knowledge that their returns for milk will be sustained, at least at present levels, either through price in creases or subsidy continuance, farmers will be forced to abandon present expensive, but effective production practices. If this hap pens, more limitation will be ne cessary on civilian use of milk and there will be less butter and cheese. TP regain high produc tion levels once they decline would be costly and take a long time." if' >? | It is humiliating for American farmers to be dependent upon government handouts. "BE IT EVER SO HUMBLE" " The right of ownership is more important than ownership itself!' ?True enough!" says YV. J. Blake, owned of the Putnam County, New York, Republican. "Yet how important is owner ship?something tangible and of benefit to the family! Give me a family?or, even, only an indi vidual?whose fixed objective is a home, a house and some land of their own, and I will then see rea son to hope for the future of the family. Better a nation of such families than one of any other dominating form of prosperity. 'Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.' Millions who live in rented quarters?houses, hall rooms, and what not?are an unstabilizing force in our na tional life. The cry is?or should be?more home ownership and less hoboism in the American ways of living. To that end let press, pulpit and schools of cu beloved land raise a united vo.ce." FARM LANDS Prices of fai-m lands are going higher and higher throughout the country. The U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture recently re ported that farmers made more money in 1944 than in any previ ous year. Twenty-five years ago there was a boom in farm lands as a result of World War I and the results were disastrous. The farms did not pay profits suffici ent to take core of the mortgage Tiffiebtedness. A good deal of at tention is being given to this situation and efforts are being made to warn the entire public mus*not gam^'e *n SOMK SMOKE The timber cut for war and civilian purposes from the Na t tional Forests in 1944 totaled Jt ;1p00,000,00(1 board feet, the 5 largest on reovi in forty years of the U.

BENSON k Pr!iidtntiM?rainj Colic ft Scoref, MkoHsat Price Fixing Lancashire is the name of a county in England, studded with many milling towns,- some large, some small. Liverpool, once the 'world's leading cotton market, is in Lancashire. In fact, the very word Lancashire, from long usage in the colorful language of tradespeople, has come to mean the English cot ton textile industry, just as Detroit means the automobile manufactur ing business to us. Lancashire used to be prosperous. Her mills are small in contrast to what Americans think about when they speak of a cotton mill, but they long provided work and income for inousands of thrifty subjects of the Crown, until something went wrong. . low Lancashire is having her trou bles and is just beginning to learn what they are. At the bottom of them is government tinkering and price fixing. Seeking Solutions Some time ago the British cotton textile industry sent an investigat ing committee to the United States to find out a few things. The com mittee had three facts in hand: (1) American mills were turning out better cotton cloth than the English mills, (2) American goods were sell ing everywhere for less than the British could afford to acjept, and (3) American mill workers were twice as well paid as the English. It seemed bad enough that better goods at lower prices were taking away England's used-to-be, world wide markets. It was worse that Lancashire's labor troubles increased on account of too many half-paid workers. Mill owners couldn't get along without the workers .but couldn't pay them what they were worth. The problem was to find out how Uncle Sam kept Lancashire fenced in. They Found Out Here are some of the things they learned: English mills are small and have about one process apiece while American mills are large and perform a lot of different processes. The English laborers did consider able work by hand, such as Ameri can mills do by machinery to gain volume. English mills turn out less material per man-hour than Ameri can mills; from 18% to 67% less. In America a small number of workers supervise the operation of a large number of machines, spinning, weaving and finishing, all in one big factory. In Britain cotton is spun in one factory, woven in another and finished in a third. Lancashire producers of cotton cloth buy and sell endlessly among themselves. Each operator does his part and ships his unfinished work to some other mill. Government Fixing "One point in Lancashire's prob lem," says the London Times, "is the harsh necessity for some of the most inefficient firms to be eliminat ed." The government fixes prices and ignores incompetence so poor operators can make a profit. In other words, John Bull holds an um brella over a frozen price structure that would melt down to an honest level under the warm sunlight of competition. Competition sharpens the wits of American management. Investors and their business executives know that continuous operation is cheaper than batch work; know there is more to be earned with low prices and small margins than by big profits on a few sales. They know volume production requires good equipment which, in turn, helps workers do more and earn more. Fi^ed cotton prices in America will finally give ?< a dose of Lancashire. Bonds Over America GORGAS HOUSE Because pioneers in Alabama did lot have wives and children with hem, education received little at- I ention until statehood was achieved I n 1820. Poor and middle-class chil Iren attended the public schools 1 vKile children of planters and other v<ll-to-do families attended private chools up to tbe War Between the itates. The University of Alabama iras opened at Tuscaloosa in 1831. lorgas House, built in 1829 and oc upied by the famous Confederate leneral while he was president of he University, stands as a splendid ribute to education's rapid rise in he State.
