She American way of life has many definitions, be- I means difierent things to different people. But to | “rffie most people for the longest time it has meant free | “tforn.’TrOm domination of the individual by the state. I ntees of freedom of religion, speech, press and j viASSfiHibly, contained in the Bill of Rights, are simply de finitions of specific parts of this over-all freedom from the tyranny *of too much government. New Deal and Fair Deal of recent years have ; helped many people in need. At the same time, the fed- I" eral government has grown increasingly powerful. His tory may record some of the names of the people who wsT£sdped. It is certain to record the development of centralized government. ..Concentrator! of power in the hands of the national * government can bring benefits that people like it.

But the same power that enabled them to help their countrymen. other kings to rule with an iron hand, with out mercy. The Democratic party has taken the lead in build ineup centralized government in the United States.

This resentment is counted on, by the Repub- 1 produce a victory for their party in the next RpßMMM^election. v'. J. v But if a mere change in parties is made, without a change in spending policies, the nation will be little better off. If the tremendous power of government is turned over to the Republicans, without having limitations placed upon it, there will be the temptation for the new administration to dip into the pork barrel just as the Democrats have done, and try to stay in office by spend 'ing money to build political fences. The alternative is a cleaning up of the Democratic party from within its own ranks. If the political pro fit can oe taken out of government voluntarily, by. the party in power, then the Democrats and Republicans can quit fighting over the spoils and concentrate on sound government instead of vote-getting. The Truman administration has witnessed the growth of corruption and the decline of morals in gov ernment. Hardly anything more can be expected of an administration dominated by bureaucrats and big city machis& politicians. But the fact that the Trumanites wear" the Democratic label gives them no stronger claim jjb it-than conservative party members. * .

Father An selm of Graymoor. a Franciscan monk of my acquaintance, came to my house to discuss that surprising hostel where lost men can find a 1 moment in broken lives for retreat f, and peace. Such charities always need money and Father Anselm suggested that if I wrote a letter, he might raise some. I had never > done anything like that before. While Graymoor never asks a man his religion, his origin, his | past, it is a Catholic institution 1 managed by Roman Cahtolic ■ priests. I am not a Roman Catho i lie- I am a Jew by religion. Yet, charity can know no sectarianism. I agreed to write a letter and ‘ Father Anselm mailed it out on lists he had. Then I began to re ceive mail. Some wrote that they regretted that they could not con ' tribute. Some resented that they were solicited by a religion other than their own. The interesting phenomenon is that a great many sent their checks to Graymoor. Taxes, high cost of living and other i i inequities have not lessened the . I American grace of charity. Nor are we a sectarian people. Each of us has his own faith. By ■ birth, by adoption, by association. But the differences of belief should not separate us from each other. That was the essence of the 1 broad attitude of such a rligious lader as Roger Williams in the early years of our people on this continent. He wanted men to have the right to sustain their differences if that meant much to them. As' long as we are free to choose our own ways of life, we shall never force others into a spir itual or intellectual bondage. In no country throughout the long history of my faith have we known a freer and more kindly world than in the United States— j even before it became the United States. It is true that occasion- I ally one encounters bigotry and •even lunacy, but the whole picture from the middle of the 17t,h ? cen-. . tury until today has been oh of | • liberty to live in the faith of our ancestors. Before that, every other consideration becomes trivial. And lor this equality in the eyes of the law and for the right to live as one chooses, gratitude can best express itself In the warmest coop eration among all of us without regard to sectarian differences. The best way to defeat the forces of evil now stomping through the world lies in this cooperation. Those who stimulate hatred over differences are aiding those who would destroy our civilization of freedom. My job is to write about the forces and events of these days and that, it may be presumed, haa to do with politics and economics and wars. But. what happens to man himself? What happens to his personality, his character? In all this welter of words over how gov ernments are to live together in this confused world, we sometimes forget that the most important problem that faces each one of us is how we. are to get along with each other and with ourselves. We all seem to know everything because we can all read and be cause we listen to millions of words on the radio. But what of the increase of divorce? What of | ' the broken homes what a silly phrase that? It is not the homes j that are broken, but the hearts of: litle children for whom one flow- j er on the stem of life has with ered. What of the young people | without guidance who find it so | difficult to pass out of the un- j , certainties of youth to the respon sibilities of manhood and woman hood? There need to be reported as much as a battle in Korea or an error of statesmanship. We need to deal with the corruption of the spirit and the morals of a nation. And not only need we report the evils but the surviving goodness of our people. As long as charity lives in our hearts, we are not a dying people. May I make this suggestion for the yar 1951: That after each of us has contributed to our usual charities, to the community chest, the Red Cross and so on, we se lect one excellent charity of a group to which we do not belong and we give also to that. ' - That would be the American way— a cooperative way of va ried human beings, each of whom retains his own differences while living in friendship with all bis neighbors. That would answer the challenge of a classless society in ' America. . HATCHER AND SKINNER Ilf - *• iA.*"< I HI It mm m M •>' £*mU -II I | .Or Night inns ew _ , THE DAILY RECORD, DUNN, N.

IB Scientists are hen.turkeys through Frederick OTHMAN >•••••••••• WASHINGTON Ammonia turns out now to be the stuff that makes the rutabagas grow. It’s al so. good for building bombs (as well as multimlllion-dollar Federal fracases) and I guess I’m just ignorant: I always regared It as the fluid that ladles used to sniff when on the verge of fainting. Before we consider the big fight, let us first-get straight on the pun gent liquid that has the gentle men snarling. Ammonia is made of air, water, and coal. The manufacturers turn the coal into coke and while that still is hot, they spray it with steam. This makes water gas. The gas they put under pressure with a catalyst and what comes out Is synthetic am monia. This consists largely of nitrogen, which is one of the best fertilizers of ’all. Farmers now sprinkle their fields with this ammonia and up come crops bigger than ever before; fact Is, one expert has calculated that one. ton of ammonia Is equal in growing power to 14 acres of normally rich earth. During the war the government built numerous gigantic factories, to produce ammonia for use in making high explosives; this in dicates It is one of the most versa- i tile chemicals of all. It kills people and it also feeds them, according |as to which way you turn the valve. One of the biggest of the war time ammonia plants was built in Morgantown, W. Va., where coal, water and —of course air were handy. This cost us taxpayers $75,000,000. For the last year this mighty factory has been shut down, des pite a serious national shortage of ammonia. Nobody has explained to (he House Military Affairs sub committee why this should be; all hands are too busy arguing over which mighty corporation should get the lease to put It back In op eration. Half a dozen outfits submitted bids to the Army to rent out am monia works. The Justice Depart ment said skip Allied Chemical and Dye COt'p. DqPont ‘Co., because they" both werer making a whale of a lot of ammonia. The Ihwyers explained that) If either firm got the' plant, they might be Violating the anti-trust laws. So, fine.

Dr. Armand Hammer, president, said this. was the, pest bid of all. You could have knocked him over with a whiff of ammonia when he discovered that the Army had decided to rent the place to the Mathleson Chemical Works of Baltimore. Md. So he, along with assorted other ammonia moguls, cams to Congress to protest. The subcommittee, after all, had to approve any such rental deals under a recently passed law, and this was Its first case. Chairman L. Gary Clemente . (D., N. Y.) said it looked to him as (though maybe the Army had been guilty of favoritism. This made :Under-Secretary of the Army Archibald Alexander sore. He said •the Army wouldn’t stoop so low.

Take the matter of traf fic fatalities about which North Carolinians are greatly distressed. Since January 1 there has been an average of almost three persons a day killed on North Carolina's highways and streets as result of motor vehicle accidents. That is above last year’s deplorable record and in actual number Is more than most neighboring states. When fig ured on a mileage and percentage basis the showing is not so bad. RATIO For the first nine months of this year automobile registration in the state was up 5.2% above the comparable period last year. Estimated traffic volume was up 7.5%. Fatal Injuries were up 2.6%. Stated another way, there were 7.9 fatalities for each one hundred million miles of automo bile travel between January 1 and September 30 this year. The rate last year was 7.7 deaths per hun dred million miles. The national rate for the entire year ot 1960 was 7.5 deaths for each hundred million miles. -Reduced to lower , figures tAat means one death for I each thirteen million nfiles of ve hicular travel; and thirteen mil lion miles means about thirteen thousand round trips between Man teo and Murphy. That seems to be an excellent record on paper. Os course. It does not help any one of the 756 persons killed or their families. CALCULATED The only (ac tor in this ratio that is not fixed and certain is the mileage. There is exact information on number of vehicles registered and on number of accidents reported with resul tant property damage, personal in jury or death. The mileage figures is calculated on a formula embrac ing gasoline sales, automobile reg istration, actual traffic counts as numerbus points over the state and other factors. It cannot be exact, but it is believed to be approxi mate and is commonly used throughout. for esti mating traffic volume. REMEDIES State and private safety ’organisations are seeking remedies for the conditions now prevailing. |faih the problem h«S developed radre rapid ly titan mewv tij 1951 legislature authorized sutfttafi tial increase in the highway patfe and enacted other laws desigiNtl to make the highways safer tor traffic. Most of these laws became effective July 1 of this year. Im > mediately after that date steps -were taken to enlarge the patrol. More .than a hundred additional 1 men were put through training ' school at Chapel Hill and then as signed to duty on the highways. Fact is, that because of the neces sary training period, delay in ob taining equipment and other fac tors, the enlarged patrol could not begin functioning until about a month ago. Even now there is a deficiency of twenty-odd men in the authorized strength of the pa trol. ; - TRAFFIC None of these sta tistics or explanations relieve the -tragedy of .sudden death on the highways. There have been three persons too many killed every day this year, every one of which ac cidents could have been avoided by proper care on part of indivi duals responsible, directly and in directly. When one remembers that the 756 deaths reported for the first Bine months occurred in an estimated nine end a half billion milee of travel, the wonder ie that the number- was very much larger. .'M.ilk Approximately hair the ■toe Commissioner of Agriculture talteqtlbe ««ttds in his offlee i* devoted to phases of the milk sit uatien.

Ip fact, Ms .tieadly ajriHs matter and serge to etophasfce that Tact. S.? * ' v BASIC—MiIk is recognised as a basic food and many of thg faotoxs qnterin g into its production and handling are basic in the state’s agricultural scheme. Actual figures are available on in-state produc tion and Importations from out of state to make up deficiencies. Ex aot number of gallons produced, f bought and sold are not necessary to understanding of the total pro blem. Suffice It to say, the drought which cut down graripg pastures and production of other feeds.. in North Carolina, thereby reducing the milk supply, also prevailed in other states from which we nor kr’ less supply to draw upon and mally import milk. Therefore, there what can be obtained is at higher than normal price. Add to that bl and transportation. Another factor ( creased labor costs In production Is the abnormally high prices for beef, leading some dairymen to switch from milk to meat produc tion, and even causing the sale of some milk cows for beef. Meantime, Regulations affecting the handling of milk have not been relaxed, because of sanitation and health angles. That adds further expense to the overall job of getting milk from the cow to the baby’s bottle or the breakfast table. | WATER—And it all gets back to shortage of water—not for the pur- ’ pose of adding raw milk, but for the purpose of growing feed for milk producing cows. There is also shortage of materials for equipping dairy farms with facilities required by state laws and regulations. So, Commissioner Ballentine and his associates are holding conferences two or three times a day, seeking some way to get enough milk ipto g normal trade channels to supply * the needs for a fast growing indus trial state, without sacrificing too much of the gains achieved through past years In making sure the milk offered to consumers is pure enough to drink. COMPLEX—So complex has come our modem eivillcation tjfiat. believe it or not, federal wage-t)our laws and load weight limits Im posed on .interstate trucks, as'hrell as rainfall in N4w York, affects i the price and availability of milk on the North Carolina breakfast table. - y " CHARLOTTE —ltP Rulane ,<3as Co. today announced sale ate! its controlling stock to four subsidriiy corporations of Suriifban Proplane o» Corp of WWppay,iJl. * RALEIGH flh— Building per mits in 76 citric reached SI4,<ORMI during September, the State De partment of Labor said today. m V\ J LJ\ jM' < [H D | HEAVY J. ■ Rirrrffe 1 rlTCntlij liOnlM \||l LS-
