The School Bond Issue Again
* During the past several months we
have written a number of editorials giv
ing our views on the proposed school bond
election, and endeavoring to point out
why the citizens of Jackson county can
not afford to do less than vote in favor
of the bond issue in the July 3rd bond
election.
We again want to urge our fellow citi
zens to support the bond issue by voting
in favor of it and by urging friends and
neighbors to do the same.
We realize as well as you that to go in
debt that there will be a pay day sooner
or later, that the taxpayers *vill have to
foot the bill. We, like you, also realize
that our county school situation is a des
perate one, a very gloomy one in fact.
You know and we know that some relief
must be had if our children are to have
anything like the educational advantages
that children have in other parts of West
ern North Carolina. The only way that
Jackson County can ever have this much
needed relief lor our schools is through
the issuance of bonds. We cannot afford
to raise the money need etdo do this work
by direct taxation, but that is just what
we are likely to have to do if the bond
election fails. Our county officials will
probably be directed by the courts to do
this.
We are very much averse to any kind
of increased taxation, but when the meth
od proposed is much the lesser of two
evils then We are for the bond issue.
In making application to the bonding
-company for the proposed $450,000 the
board of education had to name certain
specific schools which this money be
used for. This does not mean, however,
that only these school will benefit from
the bond money. Since both candidates
for Governor have announced as being
in favor of State aid for county school
buildings and practically all the recently
nominated representatives and senators
have done likewise, it is almost a fore
gone conclusion that the next General
Assembly will provide up to fifty per
cent of the cost of buildings. In other
words if Jackson county puts up $450,000
then the State would match it with an
other $450,000 giving the county $900,000
which would enable the board of educa
tion to carry out their proposed county
wide school building and remodeling
program. If the bond issue fails then,
and in that event, the county of Jackson
could not benefit from any State aid as
she would have no funds with which to
match the State's fifty per cent. This is
why the citizens of Jackson County must
not fail their children and the children
of future generations by providing better
schools through voting for .the school
bond issue.
We again urge you to go to the polls
July 3 and vote yes on your ballot.
Heard Over the Coffee Cups?"And I
told them of the proposed expenditure of
seventeen billion dollars and as I spoke I
remembered that in my purse at that
moment rested not one red cent."?

INSIDE WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON ? The "new" Army
offers career officers the brightest pros
pects in United States military history
and this point is being stressed by the
men seeking to build the service to for
midable peacetime strength.
In the post-war officer integration pro
gram 11,322 wartime officers, 60 per cent
of whom started as enlisted men, were
given permanent regular Army commis
sions.
The Army still has 9,000 vacancies for
regular commissions and plans to fill
these over a 10-year period. This, plus
the vacancies created by normal attri
tion, will permit 1,800 appointments a
year. |
Instead of the "West Point or else"
policy which prevailed before the war, the
Army now is able to offer commissions
to enlisted men, reservists, national
guardsmen and graduates of civilian col
leges.
Moreover, the increase in pay for which
Army officials long have been plugging
is due for favorable congressional action.
"ABLE" CAIN ? Senator Harry P.
Cain (R), Washington, is the man prin
cipally responsible for the new rent con
trol bill, and its "break" for tenants.
Cain, alone, withstood a last-minute at
tempt to weaken the 1948 rent law by
giving stronger powers to the 660 local
rent advisory boards which in many sec
tions are admittedly pro-landlord.
The youngish Washington senator bat
tled single-handed against House con
ferees who were determined to write
local autonomy on rent boosts arid de
control actions into the law.
Can, after a bitter, two-and-one-half
hour night session with the House mem
bers on the conference committee, suc
ceeded in winning them over to the com
promise arrangement under which the
United States emergency court of appeals
is the final authority on area-wide rent
actions.
Even the housing expediter admits that
Cain did a good job. j
ANTI-JIM CROW ISSUE ? As the
Senate gets to its much-heralded show
down on President Truman's civil rights
program, trouble centers around the fact
that the handling of homicide cases is in
the province of the states, and some think
it will be hard to establish, to the satisfac
tion of the Supreme Court, that a lynch
ing is substantially different from any
other homiide.
Senator James O. Eastland (D), Mis
sissippi, leading the committee fight for
the southern bloc, reportedly has won
some unexpected reinforcements as a re
sult of the constitutionality squabble.
Anti-poll tax legislation is out of the
rules committee and ready for action.
However, a growing log-jam, plus the
GOP disinclination to tackle the matter
first may combine to shelve the civil
rights fight for this session.
WASHINGTON CO-OPERATION ?
The Republican Congress and Democra
tic administration are co-operating re^
markably when it is considered that a
presidential election is approaching in
which there is a good chance thaf a Re
publican will take the White House.*
In such a situation, it' is only natural
that the party controlling Congress would
be loath to approve administration re
quests when the "outs" may well be in
to write their own ticket within a few
months.
Look at the striking example of co-op
eration, however, evidenced in rushing
through foreign aid legislation.
Also Congress is expected to approve
a short extension of the terms of atomic'
energy commission members, and prob-;
ably would endorse a presidential state-!
ment on military aid for the European j
western union.
CLAM DEVELOPMENT ? Congress
hit a new high in investigations when the
Senate passed a bill authorizing the fish
and wildlife service of the Interior de-|
pariment to investigate the soft shell
clam industry. More than one senator,!
including Senators Homer E. Capehart!
(R), Indiana, and Henry C. Lodge (R),:
Massachusetts, were confused as to the;
purpose of the bill. j
Lodge said the idea was very "appeal
ing" while Capehart asked his New Eng
land collegue, Senator Theodore F. Green
(D), Rhode Island, to enlighten the Sen-'
ate about the measure.
Green disclosed that there was no
skullduggery that merited a Senate probe;
merely that the investigation would at
tempt to find ways "to develop the clam
industry to a greater extent."

TIMBER TALKS
By W. C. HENNESSEE
What do all of our forest acres
mean to us? Why should we pro
tect them, keep them in continuous
production, use them over and
over again?farm our fore?t?? We
want and need good forestry to
day because we can see the trees
of the future serving an even
greater usefulness. We know that
with care, forest, unlike most oth
er resources, will renew them
selves. Good management and
careful harvesting can make our
woods worth more tomorrow than
they are today.
In 1947, 1,600,000 workers earn
ed $2,208,160,000 in the forest in
