March 17. l'H2. lnron?i?lenl Three months after Pearl Harbor finds this nation tied up tight in unity bundles, each clap or class tightening its unity for reasons, more or less, selfish. A short time ago labor haters got all set to hang the common worker in the National House of Representatives. The New York Times, a be littler of the South and blinded to facts that do not have to do with stock market gambling and corporation dividends, rushed down from its empire and stood ready with the rope to per form the lynching The self-acclaimed leader of a press that wavers under monopolistic powers, despite its eagerness to lynch laboi continues to fight adequate excess-profits taxes The New York Times, so often referred to by the ultra smart two-by-four group as a beacon in news paperdom and democracy, talked about produc tion and more production That same rag of in digestible facts overlooked the fact that two fifths and nearly ope-half of the war plants in this country were running as ilvuch as 160 hours a week, that others were idle even during the forty-hour week because so much of the raw ma terial stock had been used months ago to main tain business as usual and to keep you and me , hell bent on a pleasure schedule The labor record as entered in the books by scoundrels and irresponsible leaders is not all that one could wish for. but when those people years stop trying to take advantage of an emer gency to choke the worker then there'll be no trouble along the production front. The Byrds of Virginia and their axe-man by the name of Howard Smith and others of their ilk are more interested in enslaving the work ing millions just now than they are in winning the war. Throw labor in chains, it necessary to win this war. But, pray chain the greedy swine, the profiteers, the idle, the leeches along with the workers where each may watch the other. While Representative Smith, the Byrds and the New York Times were gathering in Wasli ington and making ready for the round-up and lynching of millions of men. industrial owner ship. on the basis of reports from nearly 100 of the mighty corporations .were declaring prof it increases of 16.3 in 1941 over 1940 and 77 per cent over 1939. And the increases were record ed in that percent ratio after all taxes and oth er legalized dodging acts had been consider ed. While the New York Times was rushing to Washington to participate in the labor mur der. shipyards and machines were idle right there in the big city. Why? Because the own ers. while admittedly small operators and with out pull at the dollar-a-year office in Wash ington, had not been able to get contracts. One New York newspaper dared print pictures of the idle machines and tell why they were idle, but the Times at that time was busy trying to cut somebody's throat and further delay the war e ffort. SireunilininH U oriitt Leave it up to the Americans to streamline the nation's vocabulary. Judging by the intro duction and wide use of slang, the American people have wandered far from the old diction ary version of the English language. Possibly a? we have degenerated ourselves we in pro portion have coined new words to better de scribe our downward trail. Not even the war could stop us. The war might be causing headaches along the production and management fronts, but the vocabulary artists come through with their task and with one word describe the country and whole segments of its production The word is "Sitzkrieg." f Itra-l'roitri'Hxive EtlmalUm Scottish Rite News Bureau. l)r Hermann Leader, history professor of Sacramento Junior College and a member of the California State Board of Education, recent ly admitted, at a Los Angeles education confer ence, that the children of the state were not re ceiving proper instruction in the "three R's." He laid the blame on what he called the high priests of ultra-progressive education in the State De partment of Education. No wonder," he said, "that parents complain that children leave school with no knowledge of the fundamentals, and no wonder that tax payers groan at the expense of all the fripper ies and fads" and lime-killers that engross the public schools." Stating that United States school children to day face.a hard future, where common sense and practical knowledge will be at a premium, critics of the ultra-progressive educational the orists pointed out that a basic training in the "three R's" is still indispensable Editorially, the Masonic Trestle Board, pub Pack the minds of the average child with all the artv' frills you will; beguile it with fancy 'projects'; titillate it with pleasant excursions into vague abstractions; cast it out into a hard, unfeeling world, and this so-called knowledge will not have the commercial value of one slim dime. And, after all, the average parent expects the schools, which draw so heavily upon his pockctbook .to prepare bis sons and daughters for a job or a career whereby they gain > livelihood and support a family. Few of us have the financial means to become dilettantes in the arts and sciences. We need jobs, and to hold those jobs a thorough knowledge of the 'three It's' is essential." DO IT EVERY PAY DAY1 - - ' -T* ? wo ?bom] Axt; fm j*?m tlMmUl+u WW* Seniors Will Present Piny Here Thursday "One Mad Night," a mystery com edy in three acts, will be presented by the Williamston senior class, on Thursday evening at 8:00 o'clock in the high school' auditorium. Jim Critcher plays the leading role, that of a young playwright who chooses a haunted house as a place to linish the third act of his new play His Chinese valet, Benny Wea- I ver, is at hand to assist him and to | lend moral support by quoting Con fucius. From the moment of their arriv al the action is fast and furious. There are raving lunatics, secret | passages, a beautiful girl in distress, j and even an escaped murderer. j The "lunatics" are Mary Warren (Lady Macbeth); Irving Gurganus I (Mir. Hyde); Thcron Gurganus (John | Alden), and Bessie Newbern (Pris cilla). Garnetta Swanson is the dam- \ std m-distress; Frank Lilley. the es capted murderer; Robert Jones, the doctor; Jimmy Li ggett, a crooked | lawyer; Elizabeth Ward, the Harlem ; maid; Madelyn Taylor, the house keeper; Evelyn Griffin, the snob bish society matron, and Catherine 1 Turner, her daughter. Proceeds from the play will l>e used to finance the class gift of two band uniforms and the expenses in volved in commencement. Soda Nitrate of soda, used principally as a side-dressing, is somewhat short this year, but it is almost certain that at least 30 per cent of the norm? al supply will be available, possi bly more. Wool Mill consumption of wool in the first quarter of 1!)42 was limited to 80 per cent of the rate of the first half of 1041 under the Government's' wool conservation program. Flaxseed The Argentine government plans greatly increased domestic crushing of flaxseed to ease somewhat the surplus created by the large 1941-42 crop, the record carry-over, and the reduced European market.
