NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSpcfATjdlTi 7 V 3 Monday Afternoon March 6, 1950 ; i " .- -- - - i . . j i H j 1 1 1 1 Exactly As Ordered. In recent months, many commynities have openly declared war on crime. , President Truman has come forth with a program to combat organized crime. There is nothing new to such campaigns. The only' thing new is those who instigate, and push such programs to completion. No community is plagued with crime long if the citizens demand' law and order. ' Every dirty town is -dirty because the ma jority of the people want it that way, and don't care enough to clean up. The same is true of crime, beauty, or any thing else. You will find in every American town, county, state and the nation just exactly what the majority of the people want. The Brannan Plan Congratulations to the 'North ' Carolina Farm Bureau on its decision last week to op pose adoption of the Brannan plan. The action was most decisive. There were . 328 delegates at the Raleigh meeting who op posed the plan; there were II who favored it. Said the resolution in part: "Farmers are entitled to receive fair prices in the market place. There is no reason why the Govern ment should pay part of the grocery bill of every citizen. The great bulk of our people in America are able and we believe willing to buy agricultural products at prices which will reflect fair market prices to the farmers. "We therefore reiterate our faith in and de mand the continuation of the fair-exchange concept of parity, which has' been the basis for farm programs since 1933. We will con tinue to oppose aggressively the Brannan Plan or any other plan that discards this fundamental principle and seeks to put farmers at the mercy of Government doles or handouts.", . , , Them's 'flarsh Words,' if ryou'll; pardon the expression, but we glory in the spunk of Farm Bureau members in giving voice to this sentiment. We're glad to see one group of American citizens come out vigorously in op position of "Government doles and handouts." We'd like to see other grqups take the same course of action. The State Magazine. An Unjustified Attack The Dunn. Dispatch seems pretty much bothered and upset over trie bill introduced in Congress by North Carolina's two senators and Rep. Monroe M. Redden asking for suf ficient monjy to complete" "the Blue Ridge Parkway. ' , ' The Dispatch captions their editorial, '"Ri-! diculous At This Time." The newspaper ' scorns at the, idea of setting aside $128Q0,pOO ! for work on the Parkway, adding e can think of. few bill? more ridiculous at such a time."..-.'';.: .. .' ': ." ; The newspaper of -Punn then continues to SiCQjfo and rebuke the id,ea, and in each state ment made, shows very clearly that the jssue they are discussing is cot thoroughly under stood by them. . We shall no4 go into the "many flaws" found in their argument, except to say that The Mountaineer regrets that te editor, of The pispatch did rwi get more information before launching out in such an untimely attack. . . . ';: ::: It would not surprise us if the writer of the scornful editorial had ever set foot on the Parkway. We further doubt if he is familiar with the Blue Ridge Parkway route, or the country it will open up. But be that as it may, Congress, nor those interested m the completion of the Parkway are not too concerned about one man missing such scenic treats. r-r-" The Blue Ridge Parkway is partially com pleted. Until completed, it will never bring tq its full usefulness the inlent and purpose of the great highway, Because of the" ter rain through which the Parkway passes, it has been built in sections of just several miles each. Many of these sections now need to be united, or the missing section between completed. We have a good example of this right here in our own back (or front) yard in Pisgah. There is just a mile or so that needs building in order to complete the loop along the very top of Pisgah ledge. v The same story holds true, in other sec tions, and that is one of the reasons, that pur Congressmen put such a bill into the hopper, and are asking for money to complete the job. ; ; ;";;V;; We started to get a little sarcastic and say that the editorial of The Dispatch, appeared to b a little sectional jealousy. We will not make such a charge. In fact, we are for any program that will help build up any part of the state we have that much pride in North arnAy,iAn.d.j,4ght,1kereJetu&.hasten to add, the Parkway will funnel more motorists into North Carolina than any other one at traction. And every person coming into the state is a potential citizen another home owner, and taxpayer, That is the way places grow, and become big places on the map--and we cite Gathnburg, as a practical exam ple of advertising and growing. We could go on and on, and never agree with The Pispatch and their attitude towarls the Parkway and this section. We feel that North Carolina is entitled tq have the Blue Ridge Parkway completed, and we further feel that this state stands to benefit far be yond all vivid imaginations from the finish ed Parkway.

But one day she went to unlock her trunk and when she opened her key case, the trunk key was missing. A fran tic search ensued n4 all the like lyand unlikely places were look ed into.

Capital Letters By EULA NIXON GREENWOOD Making Democracy Real The Young Democrats of North Carolina are waging a consistent campaign to get peo ple registered, and then out to vote. .. One would think that in a country where voting is a vital part of a Democratic gavern ment, that such a program of urging people to vote would be needless. . .' . The campaign of the Young Democrats is timely, worthwhile, and should'bea'r fruit in this and all other elections. MIRROR QE YOUR MIND By LAWRENCE COULD Consulting Psychologist they had been sheltered .and in dulged but also had been expected to be models of behavior.

You're Telling M 1JNDER RED TAPE Some of the counties in the State are rais ing pluperfect thunder those days at the high-handed - manner in which ihe N. CJ poard of Educa tion is handling funds for school house building ($25 million by ap propriations and $25 million through bond issue) projects. The, charge is that instead of merely dealing out the money pro portionately to the counties on bases of population, etc., the board is having the final say-so on where buildings will be placed. The coun ty school superintendents in many cases don't like it at all, and a handful of them have said in ef fect: "Keep your money if the people here in the county don't have enough sense to know where they want and need their school- buildings. Three or four counties have seen bonej issues fail within tfte pas three months because of the con solidation plans. ,- Legislators wh,o have been con tacted say it was not the intent of th General Assembly that the State Board .of Edu,cation assume such a czaristic attUd,e, but that distribution of the " $5O,QflO0rW should mejrely be "under the super vision of tJe State Board of jEdn cation". Som agency had Ho frje in charge of it, and it was oniy natural that this board should be chosen . . but, working with that phrase "under the supervi sion," the State Board of Educa tion is riding with spurs.
