LX Number Forty-four WEIMAR JONES, Publisher Entered at the Post Office, Franklin, N. C., as second class matter One Year ..... Six Months . Three Months tmigle Copy . Sit Down Strike? THROUGHOUT the nation we read of strikes * In the various labor unions for increases in pay. lor shorter working hours with the same pay lor infringement of union rules, or for other rea sons, yood or bad. Fortunately, Macon county is free of such disturbed conditions, yet such strikes have a direct bearing on each and every citizen. As long as they continue the day for refrigerators, kitihi'ii equipment, autos, or a set of tires for the old jalopy, is deferred just that much longer. In the end the consumer will pay higher prices for all household items. Right in our midst, however, there seems to be a Mt down strike by most all residents of the county if we may use such term in connection with the current United War Fund drive. The story is told in other columns of this issue. It is not a rec ord of which we can boast. It is sad to compare it with the county's records since Pearl Harbor day ? "the. day of infamy", as pronounced by the late President Roosevelt. Since December 7, 1941, Macon county has over subscribed seven war loan quotas, every Red Cross drive, exceeded every salvage drive, and over-sub scribed the two previous War Fund drives by a large sum. As reported to date the present drive heads towards failure as the amount is slightly above one-fourth of the $4,0(X) goal, or about one seventh of the amount raised during each of the two previous drives. Let us hope that those who haven't subscribed will do his or her duty before November Xth when the local drive terminates, and thereby complete our excellent war record.

The paths of the rivers wending toward t'he sea were made in the valley of least resistance. Socialism is paving the way for ultimate control via so-called "liberal'* legislation supported by quasi-socialist-democrats (and Republicans) who don't seem to care along which road they are leading us, as long as it is the highway marked "political expedience." And, instead of the people doing something about it, we slumber like the proverbial hare while the tortoise of socialism, lumbers onward to win the race. ? Fust is (Fla.) Lake Region. Service Will Again Rule HIKF among postwar changes in retailing will l?e the increase in competition as we settle hack into normal peacetime' living. This will offer a challenge to the retailer who has enjoyed a "sell er's market." Only the enterprising, progressive and alert re tailers will survive to enjoy the prosperity which competent operation in peacetime brings. Will Fire Jeopardize Reconversion? I. Mi time is here- for- tKe final chan ge-O V<GU4lU. peacetime production. It will he a difficult pe riod for most industries. Forwarddooking compan ies arc making plans now to avoid possible com plications. One possibility to be considered is a plague of industrial fires. The present trend of fire waste in the nation is steadily upward. For the twelve months ending June 30, 1945, the total of $442,<X77,(XX) represents a 10 per cent increase over the corresponding 12 month period a year earlier, and a gain of 33 per cent above the losses two years earlier. There have been an increasing number of fires in plants essen tial to both war and peace. During World War 1, fire losses likewise rose, steadily, and after the war at 411 accelerated pace they continued their upward trend. By 1926 the national fire waste of $561, 981, (XX) represented a 75 per cent increase over 1919's losses and a 175 per cent increase over the pre-war year 1913. Manufacturers are under pressure to get back into peacetime production. The very speed of their reconversion effort, plus- shortages of some mate rials. may cause them to overlook essential safety precautions. Moreover, some enterprises may at tempt to utilize buildings unsuited for a new or dif ferent type of manufacturing process. Manufacturing concerns should take all possible steps to avoid fires in order to prevent interference with peace-time production and a high level of em ployment. Thorough surveys of possible fire haz ards are the first step toward eliminating dangers and safeguarding reconversion projects, NOTICE OF PUBLICATION OF SUMMONS In The Superior Court NORTH CAROLINA MACON COUNTY Tim McMahan vs Mae McMahan The defendant, Mae McMa han, will take notice that an action entitled as above has been commenced in the Superior Court of Macon County, North Carolina, for the purpose of se curing an absolute divorce for the plaintiff, Tim McMahan.
