THEG LEANER" GRAHAM, N. C., MAY 8, 1945 ISSUED EVSET THURSDAY J. D. KERNODLE, JR^ Manager $1.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE Entered at the Pietotflce at Graham, N. C? aa eeccnd-claos matter. fc. HITLER IS DEAD! The Death Of Hitler Has Been Confirmed By The President. President 14-uman revealed the confirmation of Hitler's death at his press conference on May 2nd. Pres. Tinman said' ? that his confirmation was based on the best possible authority obtainable at this time. Asked how Hitler died, he suid it was not known at this time. As'red to give the source of his inflow*'on, he dtcluied. In speaking of the death of Hitler and Benito If-ssolini ? that the two principal war erim: nals would not be able to s:and trial. Admiral Doenitz' statement, that Hitler met a hero's death at his post contradict. DONT FORGOT Tuesday, May 8th, is electiot day. Every person, of lawful age and qualified to vote, should not forget the Town Election which will be held on next Tuesday? and it is the patriotic duty of each, such person, to go to the polls and vote for the candidates of their choice. This means YOU! BLESSINGS ON THEE 'FRISCO The San Francisco Conference over the out come is as confusing is in session, and the speculation as how to get around in the Pen agon building on the edge of Washington, D. C. Do not overlook the historical fact that the Dumbarton Oaks Conference was a triumphant success. It. straightened out all the impossible (?) kinks, and produced a straight, intelligent chart for the Conference now convened on our Western coasrt Naturally, % World War Cannot be settled' by a batch of resolu tions in favor of permanent peace. We tried that prescription after World War I. The present dis agreements of opinions among the leading Nations is not alt all strange?nobody could! expect them to think, and act, alike. But there is one big, common purpose in which the United States. Brit ain, Soviet Russia and all the United Nations are in absolute agreement, and that is TO END Wars. They will- fight it out at 'Friaco." In the calm, mature judgement of the people who-know, in Wash ington, the present Conference will follow, approve, supplement and clarify the Dumbarton Oaks Chart for permanent peace.

BENSON frtiiift?Htriiil College I See ref /rkusu Marred Monuments The moit patheUc piece of statu ary I ever saw was a 92-foot image of Rameset ?, flat in a jungle, shy an arm and a leg and all but lost. It jveighs countless tons. Uprighting it baffled Egyptian engineers for centuries. I am no art critic but I was impressed most of all by the skill and devoted craftsmanship still showing on the weathered stone. Its helplessness was depressing. Monuments resemble reputations. They can be damaged beyond repair by commonplace things, soon forgot ten. Storms to& trivial to have a name can, In a few short hours, undermine huge foundations and | leave stalwart landmarks buried in dirt There are only two factors in volved, whether you view It literally or figuratively: How sturdy is the structure? How fierce is the storm? Noble Intentions Looking with a sort of pity at the supine figure, a relic of Moses' day, my thoughts raced back to a well learned chapter of American history. As a youth I almost wept over An drew Johnson, a truly great man. Before he was many years dead, the things he advocated were proved, in the light of actual events, to be sound and right. But Tennessee school children were forgetting his name. By birth a Southerner and by al legiance a Democrat, Johnson was an independent thinker who wanted the United States to stay all in one piece. He wanted to carry out most of the policies that Abraham Lincoln had established, but he couldn't. Maybe Lincoln covld have succeed ed with the 1856 postwar problem; maybe nobody could. History shows only this: A great man's reputa tion scaled down; all but lost. People the Same In my high school years I had imagined that President Johnson's misfortune was primitive, too crude for my enlightened time?but not so. In a few years it became our un happy lot to watch Woodrow Wilson, one of the grandest characters America ever produced, racked on the same bed of torture; postwar prejudices, a divided party, a Con gress he could not manage, and soma personal traits wide open to ridicule. President Johnson had amazing foresight and a will that would not be walked on. We know that now. He opposed the people's representa tives and his place in history was carved for an unsympathetic crank. President Wilson had vision un clouded by prejudice, vision that overreached his century. But Wil son's contemporaries called him a dreamer and painted out a name that should have brightened the pagei of history. Might Have Been President Wilson's 1920 postwar plans lor revamping Europe (called so visionary), if they might have been backed by other men of his day and political station, could have made World War II unnecessary. Mora than a trillion of dollars and millions of lives might have been spared. But avaricious rulers couldn't see the vision any better in Wilson's day than in Johnson's day, or today. Through lenses fashioned from the past, we can watch history repeating itself with alarming fidelity. Storms lower again over postwar problems. National figures with international ambitions are liable to ferget their responsibility to the representatives of the people. We face another un predictable struggle, and we may as well be ready to watch some high images fall, never to rise from the silt of oblivion. China Quashing Hirohito's dream of great empire will not finish the United States' job in the Orient. Chinese, 450 million of them, already are holding out imploring hands to ward America. Most of them don't know what they need but this fact only tightens our obligation because we do know what's good for them. They need slow, regular feedings of the diet on which America grew strong. On a diet of Christianity, encour agement for initiative, free enter prise and protection for invest ments, America grew in 150 years from 13 rustic colonies to be the world's most powerful nation. China has had none of it. Since the year One China has had everything but a chance, so it had nothing. Fertile soil, timber, iron, coal, oil and man power, China has had. But China stayed poor. China Wants a Chance Far-sighted leaders in China are frankly bidding for capital invest ments from other countries when the war is over. It is- America's invitation; no other big country will have capital at the end of the war. | Will China be a good place for Americans to invest money in the postwar yearsT Will it be a good frontier for adventurous young Americans to enter as industrial pi oneers? Both these questions have the same answer. China offers oppor tunity only if investments will be safe there after the war. Less than ten years ago when I lived there no body, except in a few favored spots, dared own a paying business. If local warlords didn't confiscate such enterprises, bandits would plunder them. Chiang Kai-shek will remedy this, I trust, if he can enjoy united cooperation from his present allies. Business Not Safe ? In order to make profitable busi ness safe in China, it will be neces sary to have a strong, representa , tive government. Government 1 must be able to crush the rule of countless local warlords at home and command _ the _ respect and Recognition of other flrst-rats world power*. Investment of capital there depends upon the creation of a set of conditions that do not now exist. Developments that might take place in China in 25 years of private enterprise are staggering to think about China's population is three times ours. China has ot>* billion dollars invested in industry, we have 130 billion. America's capital invest ment is $600 per person; China's is $2.50. Chinese still farm with hoes while their soldiers fight with Ameri can-made guns. Selfishness Kins Some short-sighted person is al most certain to ask; "Why should . we help Industrialize China, teach | them how to build wealth and beat j us at our own game?" The idea is ( silly. We will prosper with China. Prosperous customers always help. For instance, there are 130 million people in the lands south of El Paso; less than a tenth as many live in industrialized Canada. But Canada buys approximately as much from us. China needs 25,000 locomotives, 20 million tractors and other items in proportion. China also has valu able things to trade for America's goods. It would take 100 billion dol lars or more to make her competi tive with the United States in dustrially, but nine billion would bring her up to about our horse and-buggy days. After that she could finance herself. If we can help Chiang Kai-shek to stabilize China politically there is little doubt the cash would be available. Shotgun Ganges Comparatively few sportsmen, many of whom have been using shot guns for years, know how the sys tem of naming shotgun gauges came into existence. Back in the muzzle-loading days round balls of lead were used in shotguns. One sportsman would like a gun of a certain type?another would like another type. After a number of years standard gauges were adopted by gun manufacturers. Those gauges were based on the number of spherical lead balls which would fit into the muzzle of a gun?and weigh one pound. For in stance, the 12-gauge shotgun got its designation because 12 round pel lets of lead which would fit in its bore would, grouped together, weigh a pound. The same applies to the way in which other gauges, such as the 16, the 20, the 28 and others, got their jtames. WaO Plugs If you have a switch at the outlet ?turn the switch to "off" before you connect or disconnect the plugs. This prevents sparking between metal prongs and outlet. Sparking eats away metal and will in time cause poor connections. If there is no switch, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet first It is much less expensive to buy a new outlet plug than to replace the appliance plug and the appliance terminals. To disconnect either plut. grasp the , plug, not the cord. Pull straight. If the plug sticks, rock it gently from side to side as you pull, to loosen one connection at a time. It's the safest policy to disconnect the cord from the outlet each time you finish using a heating or cooking ap pliance. Complicated Economy Casein prices offer an example of the complications sometimes trace able in trade and industry, accord ing to a recent report on the dairy situation, issued by the U. S. depart ment of agriculture. In order to increase steel produc tion recently, more coke was needed. To produce more coke,'the coke ovens had to be operated at higher temperatures. This resulted In the production of less phenol. Phenol is used in glues which com pete with casein glue. The restricted production of phenol glue caused prices of both phenol and casein glues to rise As a result casein prices increased. ? 1 Bonds 1 Over America I I ST. LOUIS CATHEDRAL When fire swept the city of New Orleans in 1788, Don Andrea Almon aster, a truly great philanthropist, saw to it that some of the city's finest buildings arose from the ashes of their historic predecessors ? the Cabildo, the Presbytfre and the St. Louis Cathedral. Liberty creates and encourages such men. It's the spirit that inspires Americans to buy War Bonds to equip their service men who fight all enemies of individual freedom. America will always have Almonasters to give their fellowmen a lift in dark hours if enough War Bonds are purchased and held to keep those service men in munitions. ^ V. S.
