THURSDAY, NOV. 27, 1941 When Tomorrow Comes ‘•How are we going to find jobs when lis emergency is over?” That’s a thought in the minds of millions men and women who are now working defense factories all over the country. That will happen to them when America ■eats its swords into plowshares? Industry is tackling that problem right low, along with the dozens of other prob- pms created by defense production itself, p’s laying plans for a speedy change-over increased civilian manufacturing when lis emergency is ended. Evert while they’re busy turning out lore and better armaments, many com panies are studying defense inventions, (ring to figure out peace-time applica- kons for them. At the same time they’re jontinuing their customary research on ci- lilian articles. They’re developing new products of every description—develop- ig them right up to the point where they jan be put on the market. Only, instead If patting them on the market now, they’re jtoring them away on the shelf. \V hen |his emergency ends, those new products rill be taken down and put into produc- lion immediately. Facts like these indicate that industry. Its usual, is doing its job today and plan- jiing ahead for its job tomorrow. And vhcn tomorrow comes, it will have many jiew articles to manufacture. In manufac- luring them it will be able to create new lobs and give u.s all more of the comforts and conveniences of life that we Ameri bans want. Morale In The Medical Corps There has been a gr,at deal of discu.s- [;ion concerning the morale problem of the American Army lately. The government las taken steps designed to improve lorale, and a MoraJe Branch, headed by Brigadier General, has been e.stablished. In the Medical Corps, however, the War lepartment has adopted a policy which ,’ould seem to be definitely damaging to lorale. This policy provides that promo tions above the rank of major are suspend ed so far as reserve officers are concerned, ^hat means that no reserve corps doctor in the country’s military services, no matter /^hat his abilities or e.xperienee, can ad vance beyond the grade of major. The importance of the finest po.ssible cind of medical service in a great army i.- dear to anyone. Ten thousand physicians tow in active service have the job of keep ing our soldiers physically and mentally lealthy. Only 1,2.50 of these doctors are regular army men. All th? rest have been Irawn from the Medical Reserve. These reserve officers, in many in.stan- ;es, have given up prosperous practices to inter military service. They are definite ly making sacrifices on behalf of their iountr}-. And these sacrifices are being lade willingly—in any kind of emergen cy, the doctor is the first to respond. Cer tainly, it is unfair and unwise to make pro- lotion to high ranks impo.ssible for these len. Medical reserve officers should be giv- 3n promotions precisely as are regular ar- ly doctors—on the basis of merit, age, etc. It is to be hoped that the War De- jartment changes its policy. Menace To Labor The troublemakers in the ranks of la- )or would do well to read the Gallup poll irhich was published on October 29. The poll asked this question: “Are you ii favor of the closed shop—that is, re- luiring every worker in a company to be- ong to a union before he can be hired?” Seventy-seven per cent of those quen- sd answered No. Only 13 per cent ans wered Yes. The balance of 10 per cent fwi undecided. In short, sentiment against the' closed shop was ^ the ratio of six to„onel, The important part of this is that the bulk of major union disputes of late have dealt with the closed shop issue. When wage and hour issues are involved, gov ernment meditation board exist to protect the workers against exploition and unfair treatment. What union leadership wants is a closed shop which will prevent any man who doesn’t pay tribute to a union from getting a job and earning a living. The continual strike threat in the coal mines supplying the nation’s most basic de fense industry, steel, was over the closed shop issue. The head of the mine workers defied the government of the United States and told it, in effect, to accede to his de mands—or else! The temper of the American people is clear. No group, whether it be labor or capital, can be allowed to imperil this country. No group can put its own self fish interests ahead of the nation’s safety. It is unquestioned that the bulk of workers in this country are loyal and patriotic They want to work, and they know that today wages are at record levels. But a few troublemaking union heads stop them. The radicals in the labor movement are digging unionism’s grave. Let them re member the President’s word.s—“That small minority is a menace to the true cause of labor itself, as well as to the na tion as a whole.” f ^ ^ ^ AbsurdiHe^s By DWIGHT NICHOLS, et *1. Miiipp Borrowed Comment THINGS YOU CAN TRUST (Winston-Salem Journal) This would be a desolate and fearful world if we could no longer believe in man and in certain institutions that men have established. If there were no longer light houses along dangerous coasts, no longer other symbols showing that mar. still pro tect man, times like these would be terri fying. But there are symbols proving that man looks after man. One of the best known of these^ symbols is the double-barred cross, spotlighted by the beam of the light house pictured on this year’s Christmas Seals, which are now being purchased by public-spirited citizens throughout the country. Americans have confidence in the dou bled-barred cross, the insignia of the Nat ional Tuberculosis A.s.sociation and its nearly 1,700 affiliated a.ssociations. Thi^ confidence is deeply rooted in the victories over tuberculosis that have been gained in the United States since 1904, when the National A.s.sociation was founded. Time and experience have proved that the menace of tuberculosis can be abolish ed even though science has not yet found the .specific drug for cure, or for immuni zation. The death rate from the disease has been cut three-fourthsTin the la.st thir ty-odd years. Utter despair has been tak en away from the doctor’s verdict—^tuber culosis. We know now that the disease can be cured if found in Its early stages and if proper treatment is given. The .social .stigma that once hovered over the disease has been completely di.s- pelled. From a hopele.ss, .shameful dis ease, tuberculosi.s has become .simply an illne.ss which affects rich and poor alike, black and white alike. It can be con quered, not only as an individual handi cap, but as a national handicap. The a.ssociations carried on their life saving work through the first World War, through the depression year.s, and not on ly will carry on through Lhe year.s to come, but are now .steadily tighening the “reins on tuberculosis. Millions have gone back to work. Bil lions are being spent for defense. And bil lions of these billions are going into pay envelopes. From these billions there are surely enough dollars to build up the addi tional financial support the tuberculosis as sociations will need during the coming year. A faithful group of Americans have fin anced the associations’ work even during the depth of the d.epression. By buying Christmas Seals, ju.st as they will buy them this year, they have protected those who were unable to protect themselves. This Chrismas surely the millions who have gone back to work will again assume their responsibility—a small responsibility; one or two dollars in the fight against the dis ease that still kill more young people in America than any other cause of death.' Should the price of milk go up any higher oil may lose its rights to the nick name of “liquid gold.” A scientist says the average American head is growing longer. Goody, then it will take more time for us to get bald! SHINE AND THE ARMY ' Latest -nrord from Shine Kil by, one of North Wllkesboro’s most popular draftees, is that he has been working: hard during the army maneuvers. He is in the Engineers, that part of the army which gets the hard work and makes possible the progress of the others. Latest word was that he had not had opportunity to shave or get a bath for a week. OOULDtrr FOOL HIM A very conscientious colored preacher, so the story goes, was not able to read and his memory was nothing to brag about. Bu when preaching time rolled around he was ready to preach from whatever he happened to remember from quotations of scriptures or anything else he heard which he thouught was scripture. On one occasion he rose be fore his congregation at Uncoln- ton and announced: "Now I will preach on that part of the Bible which .says: “You can fool the Lord but you can’t fool me—I know you.’’ VERY ACXXIMMOD YnNG Later this same preacher was hailed into court for beating his wife and the judge asked why he did such a thing. He said; “Well, it was this way. I asked the Lord to lake away my religion long enough for me to beat her. He took it Just like that. When I had her beat good I asked for it back and here it come just like I asked’’. TABLE.S TURNED It was reported that a man was drunk and was beating his wife when neighbors called police. Two cops went to the house. The wife helped her husl)and through the back door and locked up the cops to make sure he got away. bX>R DK.AI) LETTER OFFICE Dear Buddy, i am writing to you.

Graham Warns Labor Of Its Responsibility Greensboro.— Dr. Frank P. Gra ham, president of the University of North Carolina and member of President Roosevelt’s national la bor mediation board, in an address last night before a banquet session of the Southern Business Educa- ■ tion Association, warned labor unions that if they attain a mono poly of pow'er they must accept with it public responsibility within | the framework of the public wel fare. I He added, however, that he | stands for the labor union as one cf “the institutions of human free dom.’’ At the ban(iuet, results of elec tions held during Thursday were announced, with M. 0. Kirkpatrick of Cecil’s Business College, Ashe ville, being elected president to succeed R. R. Richards, Richmond, Ky.; George Joyce of Woman’s College, Greensboro, was elected first vice-president of the asocia- tion, which covers 12 southeastern states. 3 Solons Hit Navy Secrecy On Sinkings Washington, Nov. 2’2.—Three leading nonJnterventionlst Sen ators today assailed the Navy’s policy of withholding information on the sinkings of Axis raiders by American war vessels. They contend the public has a right to all the facts. Chairman Frederick Van Nuys (Democrat) of Indiana, of the Senate Judiciary committee, said: “I think the American people, having sent their boys to the ar my and spent their treasure for the Allies, are en’Jtled to know all the facts as they come up without, of course, revealing military secrets.’’ Senator Gerald P. Nye (Repub lican) of North Dakota, said the nation should know when and if j the American Navy sinks foreign ships, adding that: “If the country knew all that we are doing they would accept the sinkings of our own ships as) the logical result of the Presi dential war.” Senator Burton K. Wheeeler (Democrat) of Montana, said: “The Navy’s policy displays a lack of confidence in the people and is the same kind of tactics used by Hitler and S'.'alin.’’ Use the advertising columns of •hie naner as vniir ahonoinff imi'**’ WILL Greet You at the DOUBLED W.
