We Owe Us
There is a five-year-old epigram
that runs like this: "Who cares any
thing about the national debtT We
only owe it to ourselves." It implies
that we are sure to be very easy
with ourselves on collection day, but
a lot depends on whether we can
afford to be lenient. We owe our
selves a lot of money and we never
will be able to collect even the in
terest on it unless we work hard
and pay our taxes.
The debts we owe ourselves are
genuine debts, and bigger than most
of us realize. I know some people
who owe themselves new cars, or
new tires for their old cars. Since
they can't buy these items, they
are spending their money for other
things . . . things to enjoy *ow.
Have you heard about the errand
boy who needed shoes but had no
stamp, so he spent $6 for theatre
tickets?
Tinkling Cymbals
Easy money that rattles in our
pockets because there is nothing to
buy is not prosperity. Actually it
is bogus money. We must never
forget that prosperity is born of
work. If higher income can't help
me live better, my improved income
is phony. America is bleeding in
war and suffering in want this very
day. Our needs are no less real be
cause certain items have been taken
off the market
National income figures for the
United States illustrate the point per
fectly. On paper, national income
was 13S billion dollars in 1M3, break
ing all records, but much of the
money our people received was
"stage money." It wouldn't spend.
Actually we Americans received 20
billion dollars less take-home money
in 1943 than we did in 1929, call it
ISO million dollars a day less. Add
nine 0's to each of the figures in the
following table, making them bil
lions:
Fifurn in billion, 1929 1943 Short
National Income $81 $139
Government Deficit none 58
Federal Taxes 3 21
Net $78 $58 $20
The average 1944 wage is more
cents per hour; the average salary
is more dollars per month; our na
tional income is more billions per
year than in any previous boom,
but we are in debt. It is plain from
the figures that when the debt is
subtracted from what we call our
national income it is by no means
large. The debt must be paid in
money that represents constructive
work, doing and making useful
things for better living.
A Homely Story
On the morning at November 12,
lilt, eo the etory goee, e dusky
eoldier in e U.S. labor battalion
overslept two or three bugle calls
and was waked at last by his ser
geant gruffly ordering him to rise.
"yell kan't boss me roun' no
mo," he said, halt asleep. "Dis
wah am ovah. I Jes sign up far de
duration."
"How right you U, boy!" the ser
geant replied. "De wah am ovah,
sho 'null, but de duration ... it
have jes begin/'
More Responsibility
Official accounts of military gains,
one after another, can't- help but
build hopes tor peaceful years to
come. The foregoing anecdote is
ottered to suggest this:
When the fighting stops, it will
not be a signal for everybody to
commence sleeping late and trying
to subsist on Income from wartime
earnings. Unless we are ready to
tighten our belts and do our part to
meet our national obligation, the du
ration will have Just begun.
Screw Point
If the screw point of an augur bit
becomes marred, it may be im
proved by running the edge of a tri
angular file around the thread of
the screw.
Diesel Engines
A Diesel engine with a weight-to
power ratio of one-to-one now
seems assured for postwar trucks,
passenger cars and airplanes.
U. O. C. Meeting
The February meeting at the
Graham Chapter United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy was held

home of Mrs. W. Ernest Tfcomp-1

Kiwanis Club Meeting
The Kiwanians took part in a
personality review as the pro
gram for their meeting Monday
night, conducted by Program
Chairman John Alley and design
ed to let each member know
something about his fellow mem
bers.
Rev. Guy S. Cain, pastor of the

Service Center News
During the past week-end the
Providence Memorial Christian
church was host at the Service
Men's Center. Mrs. W. H. Holt
was in charge or arrangements,
with C. E. Owens, chairman. Sun
day morning breakfast was serv
ed by Kendall Rich and Benny
Burke.
The Center will be temporarily
closed for the next four weeks,
due to the fact that there are so
few soldiers in the camps nearby
using its facilities. The greater
number of service men who have
stayed at the Center have been
from Camp Butner and Camp
Mackall. Camp Butner has now
been converted into a purely
hospital camp and because of gas
shortage the Camp Mackall boy8
do not get up this far.
A sign will be posted on the
Service Center door giving direc
tions to any service men who do
come and these will be taken care
of at the hotel or by some of the
many families who have offered
the hospitality of their homes. If
at any time there should be
enough men wanting accommoda
tions, the Center will be opened
for them.
