Monday, April 28, 1947 >##############? A Sorry Bargain Proponents of Federal compulsory sick ness insurance, as projected by the pend ing Wagner-Murray-Dingell Bill, use as one of their principal arguments the fact that some 30 nations have compar able plans in effect, some of them of long duration. But, as A. M. Simons has point ed out in the Christian Science Monitor, "No favorable evidence drawn from the working of such systems is ever present ed. No unprejudiced visitor returns from any of these systems with praise for its operations or vital statistics of its ac complishments in improving the health of the people insured." A great many experts nave studied tne operation of compulsory sickness insur ance abroad, notably in England. Prac tically all of thejn have reported that doc tors are overworked and are unable to give the ordinary patient the degree of individual attention he should have. And some English authorities have themselves come up with unfavorable testimony. For example, the Regional Medical Officer of the Department of Health for Scotland has observed that it was felt that Eng land'^ National Insurance Act would ?"have some effect not only in diminishing the amount and duration of disabling ill ness," but would prove to be "an import ant preventive element." Instead, he found that both the number of cases of illness and their average duration had in creased. Compulsory government health insur ance, in short, would cost our tax-burden ed people four to six billion dollars a year?and in return for that we would get a system of bureaucratized medicine which has not been successful anywhere it has been tried. That would be a sorry bargain indeed. lashes, yep?you're right?the honey moon is over. o I * Persons in whom a spark of ambition reposes should not expect to set the town on fire in a day. O ? Remember the times when more auto mobile drivers than pedestrians were seen under automobiles? Borrowed Comment NEW WILDLIFS COMMISSION (Greensboro Daily News) Governor Cherry is following a sound course in indicating that he will name members of the new North Carolina Wild life Resources Commission as soon as pos sible so that they may familiarize them selves with the problems which they are to be called upon to handle and be ready to take over effectively and intelligently when the law creating this new commis sion becomes operative July 1. This commission is going to have no easy time. It takes over in what has been a highly controversial field, it has to start from the beginning as a new agency and it faces the psychological handicap *at least of having been given such a build-up that many more 6r less thoughtless North Carolinians are going to expect too much of it too soon. Repletion of game sup plies simply cannot be accomplished over night but will require a period of years. Far be it from the Daily News to barge in on any of the gubernatorial considera tions and prerogatives or responsibilities of the appointive power, but there are cer tain points in connection with the selec tion of these commission members which ought to be emphasized for the good of the cause which, so far as we are concern ed, is used synonymously with the public interest. Wildlife of the state does not be long exclusively to the organization of sportsmen and conservationists who are largely responsible for action taken in this field by the lately adjourned Legis lature; it belongs rather to the whole state and the Governor will undoubtedly keep that fundamental in mind in making his appointments. But advice and consul tation with leadership of this organiza tion are desirable. Full responsibility for selection and appointment of commission members rests upon the chief executive. But it is to be remembered that the new agency and its charted assignment repre sent the law.and, we believe, the will of that part of the citizenry most vitally in terested as indicated through their duly chosen representatives. The new arrange ment ought to have every opportunity to work, to succeed and to accomplish what has been claimed forJt; and that, in turn, presupposes that citizens will be chosen for membership who are sympathetic to the cause represented, whose foremost in terest is in wildlife, its propagation and protection, and who will do their best to see that the program does succeed in its basic purposes and accountability. The test of the new wildlife program lies in its unfolding; and in that unfolding the board which the Governor is now con sidering will be the key and determining figure. We do not expert the new board to be free of politics but we do expect politics to be subordinated and held to a minimum. o A gentleman is a husband who doesn't say anything when his wife forgets she's a lady. o 1 Henry Wallace tells London that "the next war would cost the world $1,000, 000,000,000 and only a world-wide super new deal could prevent it."

Rally to the wise and civic-minded call of the Clean Up-Faint Up Campaign now in progress. Besides doing year share in this Community-Beautiful effort, It is personally thrifty to "UP" every part of this splendid Idea. ? -t ABNORMAL 1 IBSUI Ml FIES Bj DWIGHT NICHOLS ?t al SHOPPING AWAY? Some merchants -wonder why ladies go away to larger cities and pay much more for the same merchandise that they oould buy in their local stores, A p&ir of shoes may be the same style, size and quality in North Wilkeeboro as in Charlotte or Winston-Salem, and the price may be several dollars more there than here. So, it is natural to wonder how the ladies figure they can afford to make those expensive trips and pay higher prices. But have you ever stopped to think that the conversational value of a pair of shoes bought in Winston-Salem or Charlotte is much ,greater than those pur chased at home? When they get around the bridge table, at the lunch count er or in the beauty parlor it makes good conversation to say that their shoes came from so and-so and cost $24.96, PLUS TAX. adding that it was a shame that they just couldn't find a pair of shoes here wihich would fit. Often it is the case that they oould have found a better shoe and a better fit locally at half the price, but the conversational value is nil. A man-now working in a store in North Wilkeeboro used to' work in that company'* store in I Winston-Salem, and he was much amused while there at selling 1 merchandise to North ^ilkes boro people when he knew that his company's store in North Wllkeeboro had the identical merchandise, made by the same manufacturer in the same . sixes and styles and at the same price.

One han dicap to gardening is that every time a man starts digging and finds worms he quits digging and goes fishing ... It may be true that half Mhe world does not know how the other half lives, but you couldn't apply "that to a small town. END OP THE LINE? A man slipped at the top of a long flight of stairs leading to a subway station and started elid ing down. About midway he up set a lady who fell backwards into his lap and finished the trip with him.' Reaching the bottom, the woman was too dazed to get up. Somewhat embarrassed, the man spoke politely: "Madam would you mind getting off now? This is as far as I go." POOR FROG? The professor of biology was carefully unwrapping a package before his afternoon class ex plaining that he would show them a fine specimen of dissect ed frog. The package, however, proved to contain two sandwich es, a banana, two radish and a hard boiled egg. The professpr scratched his head in bewilder ment as he muttered, "But I know I have already eaten my lunch!" PLEASE PUNCTUATE?
