According tc Dr.' Millikan, the post emergency period probably will bring new developments in transportation and inter national communications as a result of the “enormous” progress in military aviation. Among the other advantages he lists new plastics, improvements in short wave ra dio, better sterilization of drinking water, new knowledge of vitamins to chan,ge our eating habits, and further developments in medicine and public health. Such advances by no means exhaust the list of improvements in store for us, how ever. To our children, our pfesent day lives will probably seem as uncomfortable and old fashioned as the lives of our grandparents seem to us today. If the scientists continue to make life more and more attractive for us here in America, we may not want to take that trip to the moon when the time for it does arrive. Banks Are Growing Many newspaper readers frequently miss some of the best information contain ed in the issue. During the past week this newspaper has carried the statement of condition of both banks here. The Bank of North Wil- kesboro and The Northwestern Bank. Probably only a few of the people who are directly interested in finance scanned the statemenrts. But those who did could not help being impressed with what they saw. Both banks have gro^vn in resources and deposits by leaps and bounds since the last ^statement was issued. The growth has been larger than usual for that length of time, but w'e would call attention to the fact that there was a steady increase throughout the past several years, indicat ing a sound condition. We know of no territory that is better served by financial institutions than our immediate section of North Carolina. ^Ve congratulate the banks upon the splendid growth and w^eli deserved success. There could be no sucn measure of suc cess were it not for the fact thati the bank^ render a financial service unexcelled in their line of business. Fire Must Be Licked Fire Prevention Week, October 5 to 11, is of greater a gnificance this year than at any tim« in the past. In any period, fire prevention marks a definite contribution to the security and prosperity of the nation. Today, fire prevention is essential to the nat'on’s defense. Such organizations as the National Board of Fire Underwriters are carrying on a great w'ork—without charge to the government — in defending our army camps, naval bases, munitions depots, air fields and other militar>' establishments against f'.re. They are also redoubling their efforts to prevent fire and, build bet ter and more efficient fire defense organi zations in our great industrial centers. But, vital as this is, it is not enough. The orgart.’zed groups cannot do it all. For successful fire prevention must be a nati onal endeavor. It must be carried on in every town, every place of business, and Many young men arc not aware of the fact that they can enlist in the U. S. naval reseiwes to serve only during the period of the national emergency. If that knowledge was more widesprea there would be more recruits for Uncle Sam's growing two-ocean navy. The navy offers wonderful opportunitie.^ for learning a trade and getting paid 1, learning. In a period of national emergency every young man may be expected to sene in some branch of the service if he is physi cally fit and is otherwi.se eligible for lA classification. Unless they voluntarily en list, they may be expected to be drafted In fact, they may be sure of being drafted sooner or later. In the draft they have no choice. By enlisting in the navy they may choose one of many things to study and they may expect travel, adventure and possibly ro mance with some “girl in every port.” Some choose the draft thinking that they will get out in a year. Uncle Sam cannot afford to let go of young men are trained as long as the emergency lasts. Our opinion is that navar reserves- will be reelased about the same time as draltees We are convinced that the navy offers good opportunities. We invite eligible young men to fill out the coupon elsewhere in this newspaper, get a booklet giving information about the navy and consider the question of enlist ing. Or, better still, call at The Journal-Pa triot office and get one of the booklets. every home. That is how Fire Prevention Week of fers us all an opportunity. It gives us a chance to learn those .simple rules w'hich, put into effect, will prevent the bulk o1 fires. It gives us a chance, therefore, to save l.'fe and property. And, finally, i gives us a chance to preserve materials and resources w'hich are needed for the do fen.se of this country. Give fire an inch, and it takes a mile.

Borrowed Comment Future Wonder World We Americans may not be riding in rocket cars or making regular trips to the moon w'ithin the next ten years or so, but other worders are in store for us. There’s a chance that some of these wonders maj change our lives as completely as the auto mobile did, or the radio or any one of the many inventions that have appeared with in the past generation or two. That, at least, is the prediction of Dr. Robert A. Millikan, eminent physicist and Noble prize winner. He says that the life of many during the next few deca'des will be “powerfully” influenced by industrial and other scientific developments that are under way at the present time. For several of these inventions we may lot have to wait long, either. .

He said there were instances of army men having to pay 55 cents or more fo breakfast without eggs and twenty cents for thin ham sandwiches. “It is very disconcerting,” General Lear declared, “when prices change the minute after soldiers arrive in a particular area, and it is even more disconcerting when the soldier feels he pays one price for a pro duct, while ciMilians pay another.” It is worse than disconcerting. It is al most criminal. The tradesmen who takes advantage of the presence of large num bers of soldiers in thefr communities, t profiteer on prices are not only unpatrio tic. They are not many steps removed from a saboteur. It may be that the general is mistaken about the prices changing because of the presence of the soldiers. Restaurant prices in Winston-Salem changed almost over night. Not only have the prices been rais ed on plate luncheons, but ;n several eat ing places, the amount of the lunch has been-decreased, though the patron is pay ing more for it. But if soldiers pay higher than civilians for the same kind and amount of food tha' is a condition that should not be tolerated in any community. AhsttriiHis By DWIGHT NICHOLS, et *L BABEBAU, WORTH IT W. A. McNIel, who made a fly. Ing trip to New York to see the championship fight and some of the World Series, was plainly dis appointed about the Joe Louis- Lou Nova fight. It just took Louis six rounds to catch up with Nova, was the way he put it. But he said it was well worth $5.50 to see the Dodgers and Yanks play baseball, and the pa rade with a million people in Brooklyn when the Dodgers won the second game was a wow. TTiey had planned a parade to end all parades Sunday If the Dodgers won but Owen dropped the third strike and the parade was dropp ed at the same time. COSTI,Y ERRORS Speaking of errors, next time the boss jumps us for making one we are going to point out that Owen, Dodger catcher, made one which costs a half million dollars. The Dodgers had the fourth game of the World Series won Sunday when catcher Owen dropped the third strike of what would have been the last out with the score to .1 in favor of the Dodgers. After he dropped the hall and the runner got on base the Yanks went on to vin the game and the game Monday. If Owen had held the ball there would have been at least one more game with a half- million dollar gate. • %qbim*46 (lui* i*y th* lira iraa£ siim th*’ dr6*iilU up the TVA ; .

I T WAS no time to duck or dodge the facts. So we didn’t try. ^ Now we’re announcing those 1942 cars. Instead we said — these b( 'ng the materials critical in the defense program, we’ll do our planning for 1942 with that foremost in mind. Why waste words telling you how good they are! You can’t put language in the gas tank and learn either how many or how enjoyable are the miles you’ll get per gallon. Not merely for an “acceptable” car—cer tainly not for any “ersatz” number. There’s a better answer—you drive these cars themselves. Come on, do that! Put your own yardstick on their quality. We had to have a real and representative Buick. One we could be proud of. One a6/e enough, active enough, durable enough to serve till annual new models are the rule again. It would be a shame, for you and for us, to have you miss the dreadnaught Buick we’ve built to stand up successfully to the toughest job in years. We resolved on a 1942 automobile of such merit as could c£^ry the Buick reputation without fault until other new Buicks, however far oflf, could come along to refresh it. r No other car has ALL THIS FOR YOU' IN ’FORTY-TWO BUY BUKK EXEMPLAR OF GENERAL MOTORS VALUE FIREBAU STRAIGHT-EIGHT VALVE - IN - HEAD ENGINE ★ COMPOUND CARBURETION (standard on most modals) * OIL-CUSHIONED CRANKSHAFT PINS AND JOURNALS ★ STURDI-LITE CONNECUNG RODS * STEPON PARKING BRAKE A BROAORIM WHEELS ★ FUUY ADJUSTABLE STEERING POST ★ BODY BY FISHER * WEATHERWARDEN VENTI- HEATER (accessory) blue ridge motor CO. 311-313 Tenth Street • North Wilkesboro, N.
