Valuable Citizen Leaves Isaac Duncan left North Wilkesboro few days ago to accept a position in St. Louis, Mo., and it is with a feeling of re gret that we record his leaving. If you consider every young man in North Wilkesboro carefully you could not find one whose services will be mis.s( more than his among the boys—future citizens—of the city and community. Isaac did wonderful work among the Boy Scouts here. He was sold on the val- use of Scouting. He knew his subject and he was able to keep interest among the Scouts to a high intensity. Under his lead ership they accomplished things. They ad vanced in practical and moral training. His work as a first aid instructor for the Red Cross was also valuable. He led in this type of work for the Wilkes county •chapter and helped to train many others. This may read like an obituary notice but it is far from that. We are glad to be able to point out the good work of a local citizen and regret that he is leaving our city. Average Life Lengthened Outside a famous Southern city there is an old cemetery where the dead of long- past generations lie buried. There are 1,- 396 graves in that cemetery—and in only four cases were the persons buried there more than 45 years old at the time of death. In other words, only one-fifth of one per cent of them reached what in these modern times is regarded as the prime of life There could be no more graphic illustra tion of American medical science have done for the health of America. One hundred and fifty years ago the lilfe expectancy of man in the United States was 35 years. Today it is 62 years.

Lafayette LMatherly was strivine under a free system of medicine •>'’*’ working for the fellow w o striving, unaer a iree syst _ ,,, “Isms” And Horseless Carriages If all the statements made by the advo cates of “ism” systems were as true as they are arrogant, representative democracy would be a very feeble and ineffective way Of life by comparison. And, gravely enough, there are some people who, ap palled by the roughshod victorie.s, totali tarianism has lately won, are half willing to accept such a belief. For such folk an analogy in a recent book by H. (). Overstreet should be re quired reading. Mr. Overstreet points out that the growth of our representative system of government might be likened to the de velopment of the automobile. In the early days of the '‘motor car” there were people who doubted it.s effectiveness, and shouted “Get a horse!” Then, as later improve ments proved its wonh, there were othei who were quite sure that it had reached stage of near-perfection. But constat trial, constant effort, have made the auto mobile better each year. Similarly, the author observes, there are those who look at government that dejAind on such gradual progre.ss and who shout. “Get a leader!” They feel that if one man is allowed to make all the decisions, a bet ter product will result than if many people are allowed to contribute their ideas. Not merely the analogy of the automo bile, but the whole gradual but tremen dous development of our American habit ctf life, denies the “isms” approach. Con stant testing, constant open-mindedness, a willingness to listen to the ideas of others these are the ways a better product is made. It is the way, too, that the most de sirable—and in the long run the mo.st ef rective—kind of government can be built! which gives every doctor, ever scientist, the chance to achieve to the very utmost of his abilities and energies. Researchers in great laboratories—^specialists in big cities—country doctors in villages and hamlets—all have contributed. They have .spent their lives working to make the lives of others longer, fuller, happier. In those hundred and fifty years typhoid fever has almost disappeared; smallpox has been subdued; diphtheria has been practically conquered; tuberculosis has been robbed of much of its terror.

DOES IT NEED ATTENTION Sometimes we are too close to the trees to see the foresJ. Maybe your house paint needs attention right now. Better look at it today, then call our paint doctor. Big Job The question of government price con trol has been much in the headlines of late The problem of just how far the govern ment will eventually have to go to keep prices within justifiable bonds, remains un solved. In the meantime, important vol- price control action has been taken by the retail industry. Retailers in all lines long ago realized the danger of price inflation resulting from war abroad, with its dislocating effect on world economy, and our unprecedented defense program at home which is releas ing-billions of dollars in a relatively short period of time. So they decided to do all they could to keep prices in line. They pledged themselves to fight profiteering. »Tiiey pledged themselves to make further efforts to reduce overhead costs and nar row marketing spreads. They pledged AN EXCELLENT CHOICE (W.nston-Saleni .lourna!) Governor Broughton hardly could have made a happier choice than Major A. L. Fletcher in naming a chairman for the.Thou State Unemployment Compensation Com- ini.^sion. !\Ia.ior I'letcher is especially eijuipped by natural ability, character, training and wide experience to perform efficiently the duties of his new po.st. Educated at Wake Forest and the Uni versity of North Carolina, he began his career as a lawyer, then entered news paper work, being connected at various times with several leading state papers. .After a di.stinguished career of service with the military forces during the World War period he returned to civilian life as at torney for the federal income tax division, later becoming chief of the department. In 1921 he became connected with the .state insurance department. After severa’ years in this department. Major Fletcher was elected .state commissioner of labor ii 1932 and was re-elected in 1936 without opposition. He resigned in 1938 to become a.s.sociated with the wage-hour division of the United States Department of Labor. As state labor commissioner, Major Fletcher was instrumental in securing the passage of labor legislation regarded as being the most liberal of its type in the South. Under his administration great improvement was effected in the enforce ment otf child labor laws and the relations between industry and the department were placed on a firmer basis of under standing and co-operation. His long experience in the field of labor, and his training and experience in other fields give Major Fletcher an invaluable background which, should be of the highest service to him as chairman of the State Unemployment Compensation Commission. No person in the State knows better than he the whole field of North Carolina Itfbor and its relation to the general economy ol the State. Governor .Broughton has made no ap pointment that seems to be more fitting than the selection of Major Fletcher tc head the State Unemployment Compensa tion Commission.
