r THE FRANKLIN TIMES Iuuod Every Friday US Court Street Telephone 288-1 A. P. JOHNSON, Editor and Manager SUBSCRIPTION RATES Oh Tear 91JM Six Months' 70 Month* 140 Pour Month* 00 Porelgn Advertising Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION New Tack City Entered at the Postofflee at I/Oulsburg, N. O. as second 1 Organized labor continues to fight, and to explain "why a draft method should not include labor. The hard thing they will have to do is to explain to the mothers and fathers of the boys who have been called into ser vice and many of whom died for their country, why they are any more immune to the draft than their boys. If its right for a boy to be drafted to be sent to war to be shot at, at the meagre pay they receive, it is more right that one should be drafted to work and provide the necessary employment and sustenance for these boys at an even rate of pay and without the power to strike. This should include fanning, and every other kind of business. ? oOo? GLOBAL AIR TRANSPORT The United States has always been a nation of move ment ? transportation. In the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, American sailing ships made historic records. Later came our development of the clipper sailing ships, the steamship, and the steam locomotives and the railroad train;, then came the automobile. The first World War saw the practical application of the next great means of transportation ? aviation. Its progress has outdone a tale by Horatio Alger. When the second World War broke, three factors were predominant ? production, transportation and speed. Failure of either meant failure for all. Our airplanes stepped in with speed before undreamed of. They span ned continents and oceans in hours. Each wffr, from the day of the Revolution, has promo ted transportation and speed. After the present war, the story can be told of the advancements in our air arm of transportation which will help America hold her rightful place in global air transport. American air lines are already planning to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in the newest type " of equipment for service at home and abroad, thus provid ing work and opportunities for tens of thousands of fighting men when they come home. PULPWOOD MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD A member of Congress has made an observation that is more profund than he probably realized. It was that pulpwood is more important to this country now than gold. The congressman was Rep. Shafer, of Michigan, and he was making a proposal that the government's gold policy with regard to Canada be changed so that Cana r dians wonld transfer from gold mines to pulpwood cut ting and thus increase the production of newsprint. The ancient legend of Midas illustrates the worth leasness of gold as a substitute for living things ?r for the food we eat or the clothes we wear. It might well be brought up to date to include pulpwood. No amount of gold could take the place of thousands of military articles made of pulpwood. Gold cannot be made into gun powder. It would be wholly unsuitable as containers for food and medical supplies, or as shell cases. And imagine the discomfort of a flier with a vest of gold, or a soldier with a helmet lined with gold. No, as military men have observed, paper is a substi tute for many things, but there is no substitute for pa per. And pulpwood makes paper. Gold is but a med ium of exchange or an ornament, while pulpwood is a fighting weapon of war.
