NATIONAL f DITOftlAl, Monday Afternoon, May 29, 191)0 You, Too, Stand To Lose : Many people, who have been sharing in the governmental hand-outs and would like to See them continued indefinitely, seem to think that they are benefiting financially from the excessive spending that has been in effect for the last several years. Everybody is bound to lose, so far as thit is concerned. ' On the contrary, they, too, are bound to lose. Suppose you have a life-insurance policy for $10,000. You figure that your wife will be able to get along with the $10,000 you'll be able to leave her if you happen to pass away, i But will she receive $10,000 from the.com ipany that carries your insurance? . ; Yes and no. The company will pay her $10, ;000, but it will lack a lot of b6ing the $10,000 that you or she figured on. "When you took out the policy, you believed -that it would provide your wife' with exactly '$10,000 in coverage. But today the dollar is i worth only 60 cents. That means that your ;$10,000 insurance policy is worth only $6,000. 4In o$ervypaXjour. policy js.'worth just a Uittle more than half of what it Was Worth iwheh you took it out fifteen years or more jaga The same is true of annuities. When you i took out an annuity which you figured would pay you $1060 a month, you were of the opin fion that you could get along comfortably on that sum if you were economical. But now 'pay you 1100 a month, you were of the opin- purchasing power. Do you think you can get along as well on that amount? I The same thing likewise is true of savings 'accounts. When you had $10,000 in the banks i fifteen years ago, you figured you had $10, 1 000. You still have that sam6 $10,000 in the bank, but it is only worth $6,000. These are some things for yo.u to think a bout. The more deficit spending on the part of the federal government, the less your sav ings are worth. " State Magazine i Reason i According to the way the average Ameri J can thinks, if he doesn't save any money, it J isn't because he's spending too much, but because he isn't making enough. Bridgeport 'Times-Star. , . ,j . ' ... . ... .- . . . -- - ' 1 --- More Protection Needed For Patrolmen ' Several months ago one of the state High way Patrol cars operating here in Haywood had the windshield shattered by bullets from a high-powered rifle. Two officers in the car narrowly escaped sudden death by the rain of bullets. : At the time we urged that state officials take immediate steps in installing bulletproof glass in the cars of officers. As far as we can learn, no steps have been taken in that direc tion. ' Now comes news from down in Bladen county that almost duplicates of what hap pened in Haywood several months ago an other patrol car has had the windshield shot out by bullets from rifles in the hands of wanted men in a racing car. ... ' It seems that it is time that state officials take every precaution in seeing that the men they send out in uniform are given the ut most in protection, and not just expect the law of averages to keep the patrolmen from getting hit. At one time we thought of such onslaughts von patrol cars as only happening in Chicago when gangsters were being given a chase. That is no longer true it is happening in rural North Carolina, and from the records, quite frequently. .-' , If we are to expect officers to go into bat tle and compete against high-powered rifles, we should provide them with every means of safety and protection. Our highway patrol men are given careful, and precision training; they are carefully selected as being men of ability and fitted in every degree as efficient officers. That is important, and also their pro tection is important. It looks as if it is time for the State to start investing in bullet-proof windshields or at least give reasons why they are not doing so.

The Parkway Is Open Again The 4-mile section of the Parkway in Pisgah National Forest, from Wagon Road Gap was opened again to the public over the week-end. This section of the mountain-top road af fords some of the best views from any drive in the area. The grandeur from Green Knob overlook is so impressive that year after year popple from far and near drive back to feast on the sweeping panorama of more than 300 degrees. ' This particular section of the Parkway is not paved, and while it is a good troad. it does not lend itself to speed. The officers in charge are in constant patrol of the area, and will be on the job until the road is closed after the color season next fall. ' The citizens of this area can look forward to a real treat when the entire section is open ed from Wagon Road Gap to Beech Gap this route is along the top of Pisgah Ridge, and will be perhaps one of the most publicized motor trips in Eastern America when com pleted. Only about five miles remain to be built to make the loop complete.

He held a penny in his moist little hand and he was studying with serious contemplation the candy display in the Five and Ten. It was most inviting yet it seemed there was nothing that one penny ;ould purchase, but he kept on hoping. Finally he looked up at he sympathetic young lady clerk md pointed to a large, paper-wrapped chocolate bar that had fallen .rom us container- aown against he glass.

Capital Letters By EULA NIXON GREENWOOD MOVING OVER The Rtory Was around Raleigh Saturday that Tony Tolar, late of the State Highway Patrol, had sent a wire to Scott Secretary John Marshall in Wash ington saying "Come on back, Iqftn; Jeff .Wyjtou, and I are mak ing a place on the behch fbr you." P. S. Tolar and Wilson were r--ently moved out of their positions n the Scott Machine. ' The usual "after-election", conversations get underway, "I felt like it would work out this way all the time." However, on Saturday, the same person would not even venture a guess as to the outcome. One of our readers who is aware of the fact that this newspaper has as its major pro gram "making this a better county in which to live" called to say: "I am positive it is bet ter now, since so many 'untruths' were told during the campaign, there are no more- they are all used up." We would not be surprised but what his version would fall in that category. rmmw m to mind A3 ' 1111 1 ' i mi .

And this summer, he's planning to do just what he's been doing for the last 15 summers drive his car cown to Waynesville for the an nual Masonic Summer Assembly. Mr Sullivan, a retired oil com pany executive, was described in a recent feature story about him in me Dayton (Ohio) News as prominent Mason. He's been secretary of the Unity Miapter 16, Royal Arch Masons since 1931 ("That lob fools me into thinking I've got business to attend to") and has been a Mas ter Mason since 1897. uaytons York Rite Masons named their spring Class of 1949 af ter him in honor of his long service in Masonic work. About early July, you can start looking for Mr. Sullivan's car ta drive toward the Piedmont, where he has been staying during his summer vacations hera. inspection law and thus regain his popularity and be in position to help Umstead. He steadfastly re fused, saying the auto inspection law was a good thing. Umstead lost. Gov. Scott's Legislature laid the hatchet to the law, with no objec tions from the Governor. He picked up a lot of popularity there. High way deaths have mounted. All types of cars are now on the roads. And the Governor is issuing state ments . . . and has named a High way Safety Committee . . . in an attempt to reduce the highway death rate . . . but apparently to no avail. Cherry placed safety over political expediency. Voice of the People Who Is your favorite newspaper columnist? Hugh Jolly: Drew Pearson, 1 be lieve.

PREMIERES Last week Nash ville, one of the most beautiful little towns in North Carolina, had the world premiere of "Waves of Green," a technicolor movie which tells of the contributions' made to agriculture by colleges like State, Clemson in S. C. and VPI in Vir ginia. Oh May 31, the world pre miere of "Bright Leaf," the story of tobacco written by Foster Fitz- Simons of Chapel Hill, will be held In Raleigh. "' Both communities are receiving nationwide publicity as '.the result of their promotions of these spe cial events. Raleigh Merchants Bu reau Secretary Wesley Williams, with the assistance of chamber of commerce and merchants associa tion secretaries, is.ramroddipg the1 Raleigh promotion. Dollar days are here today and gone tomorrow, but wholesome attractions and promo tions build trade for the future. Both Williams and Thomas W.

Charles Moody: I don't particu larly care to read the columnists. Those features seem to me to rep resent just one mans' opinion. You only get a single viewpoint, reading one of them. If I read them, I'd read them all, to get sev eral different viewpoints. Marvin Leatherwood: I don't read the columnists at all, though I do a lot of other reading. In the Mountaineer, as Well as other pap ers, I enjoy the sports page and the comic strips. I always turn to the sports page first as soon as I get the paper. Tony Davis: I prefer Drew Pear son.
