Campaign To Start
The American Home Front Ple
dge Campaign is expected to get
under way in the near' future. It
has to do with efforts to' keep down
Inflation.
The campaign will be of an ed
ucational nature, instructing peo
ple about the danger of. inflation
and explaining what the citizens
can do to prevent it. i i t
am interested in seeing
that I am a part of OPA and
and that every man and weman that I pass on the street Is a
part, of It too. I feel that OPA is we, the people, Just as the
Government as a whole is we, the people.'
"I think price control and rationing, are policies of th peo
ple, by the people and for the people not policies, conceived
in ignorance of the public good. And to I think all of us
should do all we can to tee that price controj and rationing
work not lor the sake of God and the Democratic party,
but for the sake of Wei the people. ' .

EDITORIAL
The , national Labor Relations
Board election to determine wheth
er or not the North Carolina Ship
building Company's Wilmington
yard will be operated under a Un
ion or on an open shop basis, .will
be held Friday, Sept 3rd.
' The successful operation of this
ship-yard is a matter of grave con
cern, not only to Wilmington and
the State of North Carolina, but
also to our nation.
In less than two years, this
Company has built one hundred
and twenty six Liberty Ships of
ten thousand five hundred tons
each. The part these ships have
taken in carrying supplies of war
to our armed forces and to our
allies would be hard to over esti
mate. We believe they have con
tributed in a large measure to the
success of our boys on the battle
fields. Aside from the fact that the No
rth Carolina Shipbuilding Comp
any is our state's largest Industry,
with a payrpll near a million dol
lars a week, aside from the fact
that many hundreds of men and
women in our Country are employ
ed by it and their earnings are
reflected in the business of our
section.
We believe, in this vital war in
dusty, which the United States
Martime Commission publicly sta
ted holds one of the two best re
cords of all shipyards building Lib.
erty Ships.
We believe that for the best In
terest of the company and the em
ployees they should vote to contin
ue on an open shop basis.
