Thursday, June 26, 1947 _J Carolina . Jk ASSOCIATION?, * Z' Fourteen Reasons Not To Have Recession Ten leading economists say that there should be no business recession unless "we talk ourselves into it." The reasons cited by the economists were listed unless the following 14 points: 1. National income is $165 billion? compared with $100 billion prewar. 2. This has made the highest per capita purchasing power in history. 3. Broader distribution of national in come, especially among the "have-nots." 4. Population is up 8 per cent?making greater demands for goods. 5. 15 million new families will have been created from 1940 to 1950. 6. 58 million persons are employed?11 million over prewar. 7. Demand for durable goods is far from filled. 8. Bank structure is incapable of col lapse. 9. Inventories are still a lot smaller to day than after World War I. 10. Credit is abundant today. 11. Orders for industrial equipment are at extremely high levels. 12. Exports are 5 times prewar levels and will not shrink. 13. Some prices will decline, which will encourage buying. 14. There is an enormous need for pub lic works, which will provide a backlog in event of any depression. Two Concepts of Medical Care The American people mast choose be tween two diametrically opposed systems of providing medical care. That was the gist of a recent address by Dr. Harrison H. Shoulders, president of the American Medical Association. One system, Dr. Shoulders said, "would vest in some agency of the Federal govern ment the power to tax, the power to spend, the power to regulate, the power arbritrarily to determine need . . . and finally the' power by regulation to direct . . . That proposition has its origin in a totalitarian philosophy of economics and can lead but-to tyranny." The other system, he then said, "is the application of the principle of insurance through voluntary prepayment medical service plans to the financing of medical care. \ This will solve the major difficul ties in the financing of medical care. The sound and wide application or use of in surance will spread the most in two di rections?over a large group of people and over a long time. This proposition has its origin in the philosophy of freedom. It is pftrely voluntary. It will make medi cal care easily available to people of all income levels ... It will preserve the free dom of the individual." There might be some argument for gov ernment-dominated medicine if prepaid, voluntary, medical care plans had failed. But they have grown with remarkable rapidity in late years. The extent of the services offered has steadily been enlarg ed. The cost is very low and the worker's entire family can be covered, tliey offer a sound solution to whatever general medical care problems the country faces. Scientists say that they have discovered 33 diseases that are usable in war time. As far as we are concerned they needn't be apologetic about not finding more.? The New Naval Reserve The New Naval Reserve provides an opportunity to eligible men to perform a district and essential service to their coun *? try?and to become proficient in skills which are of value to them in civilian pur suits. The record of the Naval Reserve is known to everyone. It has performed mag nificently in time of crisis. In the last war it provided a trained nucleus upon which our great fighting fleets were built. Its basjc purpose is the defense of the United States. Reserve instruction involves spare time courses not only in the military sciences, but in a long list of technical subjects and trades. Recreational activities are regul arly scheduled by Reserve units. And Re serve groups on the coasts of the nation and 'the Great Lakes are assigned Navy ships for short training cruises in local waters. Membership in the New Naval Reserve is open to citizens between the ages of 17 and 39. War veterans will be given the grades they held when on active service. The Reserve offers its members a splen did chance to serve both the nation and themselves. J A hammer is a hammer until you hit your thumb with it. o Cumberland County cafe operator re ports that his wife shot herself to death just after he had criticized her cooking of fish and cornbread for a fish dinner. And she was a native of Rion, S. C., where they know something about cornbread and fish! Just think of the cafe cooks who ought to be shot for attempting cornbread. ?Greensboro Daily News. ? THE EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. "We don't want pity and Sympathy, we only want honorable means to earn our! livelihood and to be accepted for what we are and what we can do," declared a blind veteran in one of the most moving address es I have ever heard. He was addressing a civic club convention to which he was a delegate as president of his local club. His ability to overcome his handicap, and reach the important post of president of his club was a tribute to ability and de termination. He made a moving plea for the disabled and handicapped. He said that one out of every five persons in the United States was either disabled or handicapped; that one out of seven needed rehabilitation; that one out of eight had a disability which was more or less permanent. There are now eighty-five thousand disabled civilians, and two hundred and twenty eight thousand disabled veterans in the U. S. available for reemployment. Of these, he said one hundred thousand dis abled veterans are now under training. The disabled veteran wants a job which gives him the dignity of self-support. He has earned it, and is willing to work for it, and to maintain it. The federal and state government is providing increasing service to enable the disabled and handicapped to train for em ployment by which they may earn their livelihood. Any disabled civilian or vet eran can learn of this service through the welfare agencies or veteran's organiza tions. l"he time was, when these handicapped people were considered a total financial loss to society. Now it is realized that the majority can be trained for useful occu pations. This not only restores to a man his self-respect, but also relieves family or state of maintaining him in unemploy ment, to the cost of from $300 to $600 a year. ' These disabled veterans deserve all that we can give them. They want to be re habilitated so that they can move in so ciety as normal people and not as objects of sympathy and pity. Let's give them what they ask and what they deserve, a fair chance. During the war, they were in our prayers, our bond campaigns, in our letters. Now they deserve to be in our thoughts and plans. They emminently de serve a fair ^and large place in our econ omy. BNORMAL By , DWIGHT NICHOLS " "" et al HOME MIHMtONB? After giving liberally to eve ry cause under the sun, and keep ing Wilkes' record clear In every campaign from Jerusalem to Jericho and from Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, Wllkee peo ple have decided to do some badly neglected home mission work and are raising money for a lighted athletic park. We are not belittling any drive ever conducted here, because we have supported them all with this newspaper and personally with a few dollars any time we could. But we point out that while we can get touched and dig down to help the unfortunate all over the globe that we have forgotten such things as boys and young people right In our own midst, who grow up to crowd criminal court dockets, mainly because no body was interested in giving them encouragement to go the other way. Now we think it is high time and past time?to do some thing in our own backyard and better conditions at home. There has been a great demand to bring in outside industries, but the demanders, (including ourselves) often fail to realize that people want to live and in vest where there is a good place to rear their children. After all, there are people who care as much for their sons and they do the opportunity to make profits. Wilkesboro school accomplish ed a major project in raising $12,000 for a gymnasium. This is indicative of what people can do 'to improve their communities and to provide something for their youth.
