THURSDDAY, AUG. 22, 1940 Disaster Relief Wilkes people had always been ready to respond to calls for help from disaster stricken areas in the nation and even in other countries but it was not until Wed- Sieeday of last week that it became neces sary of even desirable to receive outside help. On that day and since that time they have had opportunity to appreciate the American Red Cross and other agencies. Our people had been giving yearly to the Red Cross roll call and doing their part in every disaster relief drive. Last week came the time when many here needed the help of the humanitarian organization and they got it. The Winston-Salem chapter of the Red Cross wired national headquarters about the flood disaster here and two represen tatives of the Red Cross were here before the flood waters had subsided offering and using the resources of the Red Cross to alleviate distress, to feed thosQ without food, clothe those who lost their clothing and house all who lost their homes. That is service to be appreciated, help when it is most needed. The services rendered here by the — - American Red Cross make us Oven more appreciative of that organization and more ready to support it in every endeavor for relief of stricken in any part of the world. Now we all have first hand knowledge of how the Red Cross acts, how quickly that organization can help and how effi ciently the task of relief is carried out. We have scen it perform in our own midst and can truly appreciate its value. All this section appreciates the efforts ctf the Winston-Salem chapter in sending workers here so quickly and the services rendered by Mrs. Winnifred Black, of Winston-Salem, and Charles Mix, first aid and life saving representative, before workers from the national chapter arriv ed.. The flood stricken area also appre ciates the special flood relief fund raised in W'instou-Salem. Commendation should also be express ed to other agencies for their fine w'ork. The Welfare department, with the aid of the Surplus Commodities Corporation and the WTA, helped tremendously with foods ' and clothing. | Work of the C. C. Camp members from Laurel Springs was very helpful in North Wilkesboro and the people of the city ap preciate the.r services, which have been along several lines of work in this flood stricken city. The police force and other city employes did their jobs well and the eituation generally was handled wi.h etfi- ciency and a high type of public service. And we certainly would not overlook I the work of the Duke Power company in restoring service to North Wilkesboro on | the same day of the flood and the city I water department for their continuous and faithful labor on the water plant to get it back into operation. ■^ducta tottte 'conilBctr of ^ retail, and wtvice etiteftiiliineritS/yrecb,; establishments are l[ialiddle the products of defendants and'Others even on unreasonable and arbitrary terms, and! at such prices.” All this might make some sense if the current level of cigarette prices had been established by tobacco companies and ar bitrarily maintained there; But any smok er knows that the increase in prices in this field is the work of the government itself —^the very outfit that is doing all the hol lering. While advertising—which.increases sales and hence aims at lowering the price per pack—takes less than half a cent for each twenty, cigarettes. Federal taxes alone amount to six and a half cents, or thirteen times as much. And that takes no account of state and city levies, which frequently run two or three cents more. It strikes us that in the present instance those who live in a glass house are throw ing stones at the far more solid structure of their neighbors, in the hope perhaps that the noise that ensues will confuse the public mind! Shoe On The Other Foot Theorists in this country have from time to time taken some pretty vigorous whacks at advertising, intimating that it places an unfair burden on the consumer. And various high officials in Washington have declared publicly that they believe government should regulate advertising; that too much money is spent for adver tising by manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers; an dthat the cost of such .adver tising raises the price of goods or services. It will be news to many readers, there fore, to learn that a brand new advertiser has now appeared in the paper match-cov er field. The new advertiser is a branch of the Federal government itself! Paper matches are now being distribut- ^ was a fine trip and she had a ed accompanied by this message: “Know your money. Beware of counterfeiters. Sound your coins. Examine your bills.— The U. S.

Var ious people in our government have flirted with this idea from time to time. Now the Department of Justice is accusing the to bacco companies of achieving “public ac ceptance” on too large a scale. Here, in its own rather heavy-footed jyvignage. is what the Department has to cay on the subject: “Said defendants have by extensive and continuous nation-wide advertising 'Asd by various sales promotions schemes created and maintained such public ac- Mptance and demand for their major titat, the ofiferiiig of such pro- France, at Philadelphia Sunday night should serve its purpose in arousing the members of Congress and the people of this country to a greater realizalio:; of the impending danger to this nation. Mr. Bullitt states boldly his conviction that the United States in in as great peril today as was France a year ago, and ap peals to the people of this country to wire their congressmen and to write to news papers demanding conscription and send ing of world war destroyers to England as advocated by Gc-ieval John J. Pershing. He urges also thf.t everyone should volun teer for some son of national service. Basing his opinion on four years of ser vice and actual experience in France, the warning he sounds to America should car- rj' considerably more weight than the conjectural opinions of isolationists and pacifists regardless of the honesty in which these opinions are expressed. Mr. Bullitt also states in an emphatic manner that “it is as clear as anything on earth that the United States will not go abroad to war but it is equally as clear that war is coming toward the Americas.” ■With a warning of this kind from a man w’ho is certainly in position to properly appraise the designs and motives of the totalitarian powers, and in the light of our own common sense and reasoning, it is time for the American people to ivake up and take a hand in the affairs looking to our security. It is time to remind Con-^ gress that the people are not in the mood to gamble with our security and if-England'i needs the world war destroyers to keep war from America, then by all means LET I THEM HAVE THEM FORTHWITH. The opinion of the American people is urgent ly needed at Washington and it should be expressed NOW. God’s blessings on them.
