MR. LIPPMAN VIEWS
THE LABOR PROBLEM
Walter Lippmann wrote re
cently about the captive coal
mine strike. Mr. Lippmann is a
writer for the New York Herald
Tribune. This in itself is suffi
cient guaranty that he is not
blindb” biased in favor of la
bor.
In writing about the coal mine
strike, Mr. Lippmann made a few
general observations. He said:
“ . . , The right way to go
about stopping strikes, and-as
suaging the bitterness, is to open
the window, let out the stale air
and start working for an active
and positive cooperation, not
merely for a passive and nega
tive suppression of strikes . . .
“ . , , Let us not repeat the
costly mistake of last winter
when the C. L 0. offered the
Reuther plan for using the auto
mobile industry' in national de
fense, and we were told all the
reasons why the plan was im
practicable in detail. As a matter
of fact, as w’e now see, it w’as
fundamentally right in princi
pal. "That piece of Philistinism
cost us not merely an uncon
scionable delay in using the re
sources of the motor industry
but it cost us the enthusiastic
participation of labor in national
defense ...”
Mr. Lippman is apparently
suggesting that genuine coop
eration of labor be enlisted. La
bor in this country has not
shared proportionately in the
planning and administering of
national defense plans. Mr. Lipp
man pointed out only one time—
the refection of the Reuther
plan—when labor’s volunteer as-

lian A. Roberts were a little amazed
to find New England papers making
fun of the Sunny South.
They referred particularly to an
editorial in the Boston Post of No
vember 13 which read:
"The New England boys of the 26th
division getting ready for their big
maneuver tests in North Carolina
will smile in the future when the
vagaries of New England weather
are under discussion. A temperature
reading of 18 degres at reveille and
water frozen in canvas buckets will
be a memory of the "sunny South”
that will not dispose them to be too
harsh toward weather at home.
"Our Chambers of Commerce have
never made the weather a strong
talking point in selling New England.
We get it—good and bad—but thus
does it come to the other sections,
too.”

climax of their song. With deep
richness they sound the last line,
“Let the light from the light
house—Shine on Me!”
There’s glory in the light from
the lighthouse in this song.
There’s faith and hope and
health and life.
Perhaps that is why the
Christmas seal of the Tubercu
losis association carries a pic
ture of a lighthouse, sending out
its cheering beam. For years,
the tuberculosis associations in
America have kept burning a
beam of light, filled with hope
and health, shining forth to
thofse who are afflicted with an
illness which, like all others, re
spects no class nor color line.
The Moore County Tuberculo
sis association and its branches
throughout the county this week
begin the annual Christmas seal
sale. The funds raised by the
sale of these seals become the
fuel whidh keeps the light in the
lighthouse shining. These funds
are used, not only to assist in
treating those who have already
contracted tu“berculosis. Of
more importance to each of us
is the luse of these funds to
prevent the spread of the di
sease throughout our commun
ity and to halt all signs of t. b.
before the disease develops.
An actual lighthouse on dan
gerous reefs is not merely for
the comfort and information of
a sihiip’s pilot. It is for the pro

passengers and crwe.

lighthouse sends forth its beam
also not only for those immed

Somewhere in N. C.
Dear Jack:
I was awfully sorry I couldn’t meet you the
other week-end when you wrote me, but you know how
those things are in the Army. I did get leave the next
week-end though and took your advice about going to
Soutihem Pines.
The Army truck got us there about 3 o’clock
and, being a stranger in the place, I went straight to
the REX BILLIARD ROOM since you made it sound
like a very hospitable place. George Straka, the guy
who runs the place, was there. He remembered you and
said how disappointed you were when I couldn’t get there
before. He let me shave and wash up, and, boy, I felt
like a new man. When I got through, a gang of fellows
were starting a game of billiards and'invited me to join
them. I did and it was real fun. The tables are the
best I’ve ever played on and tBe lighting is swell. 1
won a couple of games before we all went to supper.
During the evening I saw something of South
ern Pines and got a place to spend the night. Tlien I
went back to the BILLIARD ROOM and had another
game. There were some fellows listening to the radio
and reading or playing cards or checkers. I found a
Blue Eagle Bugle—imagine it, our home town paper
this far from home—and buried myself in it for a
while, then joined in the fun. Before I left I stocked
up on cigarettes, chewing gum and a couple extra tins
of tobacco. Also got some of the picture postcards to
write to the folks back home. Just wrote them and left
them there—George said he’d see that they got mailed
for me. Some service, huh?
So long, maybe ij/e'll run up with each other
some other time while we’re down pn maneuvers.
JOE.
