NATIONAL CDITORI At ASSOCIATION 7JCun6t4Z fW II i Kt4A b Carotin i UJKL A. TUESDAY. JUNE 10, 1947 Crime North Carolina, Jike other sections of the country, seems to be in the throes of a crime wave which .s a challenge to the citizens of the state. Drastic action must be taken in trying to combat and eradicate this tendency. We note that there is great concern in the press over the clearing of criminals, which makes us all realize how much better it would bo if the courts upheld the laws of the com monwealth as written and not be influenced by anyone. However, this seems like lock ing the barn after the horse has been stolen. There also arises the question of how far should clemency be granted these criminals? Strict enforcement of the laws would cer tainly have a deterrent effect on potential criminals. Patched Up At Last We have an idea that every American who reads of the latest relations between the United States and Argentina will be relieved that at last the two countries have patched up their differences after a five year dis pute for the misunderstanding covered some very critical years. Naturally, we did not like their relations with the Nazis during the war and we sup pose that most of us will never know just the extent of their aid to Germany, but that is water under the bridge now, and we will have to forget it. as we try to build one solid position in the Western Hemisphere. We have everything to gain and nothing to lose if we fail to forgive them of their past attitude. At the Roots THE HOT FOOl In his farewell talk to the members of the graduating class, M. H. Bowles, superintend ent, -struck at the very roots of American life and those of every nation when he made a plea for the founding of home with sound principles. When he told his listeners to find God in the way it suited them he showed great tol erance which should make the people of everv communty understand that no matter to what creed you may belong, finding God as vou understand Him is the aim ol all re ligious creeds. No nation is greater than its homes and we regret that during the war years, the Ameri can home was demoralized. The time has come for those responsible for its perpetua tion to come back to the ideals of lasting qual ity which made this country the great power among nations that it is today. Leaves a Monument The following from the Raleigh News and Observer will be read with interest and ap proval throughout the state on the work of Mr. Ward: "T. Boddie Ward, who has just retired as State Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, leaves a monument to six years of untiring efforts lor highway safety in this state in the form of the highway safety law enacted by the 1947 General Assembly. "Commissioner Ward was by no means the only sponsor of the new law, but it is gen erally conceded that the measure would not have been enacted except for his persistent support. The bill, as finally passed, was far from a perfect bill and many of its strongest provisions were weakened by amendments. However, the law now requires for the first time periodic inspection of automobiles and periodic renewals of licenses of drivers and j the new statute also contains many other im provements over previous laws. "Mr. Ward was a good commissioner and his devotion to the cause of highway safety was beyond question. Both through his ad ministration of his department and through his success in persuading the General As sembly to improve the traffic laws, he made a notable contribution to that cause."

"But do you know I really got my Inspiration right here at home to become a cartoonist, for my first cartoon was published In the old Haywood Enterprise, of which John Norwood was editor. The theme was on the old Waynes ville Board of Trade, and illus trated the fact that "it was always asleep at the switch", which is certainly not true now of your very wide awake Chamber of Commerce, but this is 1947 and that was back in 1!U." he commented.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Do you think that the Universal Military Training program is need ed by the I'nited States at this time? Hugh Rogers: "Yes, it is needed more than ever now. The only way to stay out of war is to be prepared second to none." uiiHl : () n Irau-liiig' Howell Crawford: "We need it 100 per cer.i. Ii' ve had had it be fore, there probably wouldn't have been a World War II." Jim Kilpatrick: "I don't think it is necessary.'' Charles Edwards: "I believe it is badly needed. Emphasis should be placed on local training, however, such as in the National Guard, and a way worked out to keep young sters from regular Army posts." We feel sure that the number of inspection tours win annually increase at the State Test "am House, then known Farm, as the farmers of this section of the state become more convinced of the advan tages of scientific methods. It was interesting to learn that the aver age inspection party is composed of from 30 to 50 persons, showing how widespread is the interest in the experiments at the farm, which in time will become in many cases the established agricultural practices in this area. The tests carried on at the farm will save the farmers of this part of the state thousands of dollars as the best ways of growing cer tain plants will be worked out by the local employes under the supervision of the state experts. Tack left Waynesville in 1913 Tack (Thacksloni Knight, native I with his niother, Mrs. Lura Knight, of Dillsboro. moved to Waynes- to make their home in San Fran- ville with his family when he was ciseo with his brother Charlie literally a babe in arms, and his Knight, but came back on visits F.

In these clinics are checked many defects in the younger children which are not ap parent to the eyes of the layman and might even go unnoticed by even the most loving 'and attentive parents until they reached an incurable stage. Having the clinics in the spring gives the parents ample time in which to have the cor- rections made before the child enters school. A physically handicapped child has a difficult time in his association and competi tion with the normal child and often develops a complex which lasts many years, if not through life. The immunisation program is likewise commendable and does much to keep down epidemics which are often far reaching and brings down many innocent victims. Justice Not Delayed Magna Charta guarantees to English speaking peoples that Justice (with a capi tal J) should not be "denied or delayed." The observance of both in our courts is es sential. However, while Justice is not often denied by actual miscarriage, by delays Jus tice is often actually denied. Too often men submit to injusfice, saying: "It is better to compromise than go into court where delays for months sometimes years would virtually deny me my rights." In view of the too frequent denial of Jus tice by delays, honor and praise should go to the county of Jackson, and the jury brought from Macon county, as a special venire. Two men in Jackson county committed a double murder about a month ago. And last week the trial ended in the conviction and sentence of the two men found guilty. Raleigh News and Observer. WASHINGTON People came from Chicago. Huston and Balti more recently to help members of the Washington Art Council eon duct a symposium on the prospect of raising the cultural status of the capital city. The Council is thinking in terms of making Washington an art cen er. So far. .lames H Whyte, Chair man of the Council, says consider ation of the program is merely of an "investigatory nature '' Inez Boulton. former President of the University of Chicago's Re naissance Society, in discussing how Chicago achieved its status cul turally, said: "We marie art fun. We took away the awe of art that some people have. This sort of thing sounds easv here, but it would mean sacrifices for many of you j to insure its success.'' Miss Boulton didn't elaborate on j the sacrifices entailed, but James S.

Ray H. Everett, director of the District of Columbia Social Hy giene Society, who has handled more than 16,000 marriage clients, believes the "worst is over in the nation's seven-year divorce epi demic." However; he says what we really must worry about is the long range increase in divorce, which he says "goes on despite the end of war- born marriage difficulties The War Assets Administration has sold $15,000,000 in surplus property from false teeth to fac tories.

The attitude of Mr. Wallace, who seems to Wish to stir , up doubts and discontent, at i. a time when the people are trying to get 'i back to a normal state of mind and business t is not wholesome. While there is much to admire about Mr. Wallace, and we do not condemn him en- tirely, his views and attacks on our govern- t-mem oo not swu uecuuuug w a wnu .is trying .to-help, build back to a peacetime program.
