ROPE treasures
After being tied to the surface
of the earth for countless ages,
mankind has begun in the past
few years to explore both the
heights above and the depths be
neath.
We fly nigh above land and sea
with the ease of the birds and at
far greater speed. In submarine
boats we swim under water like
the fish.
There are still higher heights
and deeper depths about which
we know nothing. While one
group of scientists explores the
stratosphere in balloons, another
group is trying to discover what
lies at the bottom of the ocean's
deepest valleys.
The Carnegie Institution of
Washington has made a steel
rope seven miles long, with which
its explorers are bringing up
specimens from the bed of the
sea.
One of the most interesting
discoveries so far made is that
there are greater concentrations

of radium far down under the
ocean than have yet been found
on dry land.
Since every river has been de
positing the minerals washed
down from the hills into the sea
for millions of years, it is prob
able that the greatest store of
treasure on earth lies miles under
water. Whether much of it can
ever be recovered is a problem to
which there is as yet no answer.
JEWS service
In awarding the American He
brew Medal for 1938 to President
Roosevelt for the most outstand
ing service of the year in promot
ing better understanding between
Jews and Christians, the com
mittee of eminent citizens and
churchmen of all creeds said they
selected Mr. Roosevelt.
They selected him because by
all his words and actions since he
has been in the public service he
has promoted better understand
ing among all races and creeds;
because in the past year he took
the initiative at every crisis in
Jewish affairs and did everything
in his power to bring about a hu
mane solution; and because he
was responsible for the Evian
Conference for aiding refugees of
Central Europe.
Nothing so sharply marks the
difference between the concept of
democracy as we hold it in
America and the autocratic gov
ernments of Europe, than the
complete absence of discrimina
tion against Jews in public office
or industrial and business lead
ership which exists in America.
There is still too much of the
ancient prejudice inherited from
old European traditions. It show
ed itself when protests were made
against the appointment of an
eminent Jew to a seat on the
Supreme Court bench, vacated by
the death of another great Jewish
jurist. There is no place for
racial or religious prejudice in a
democracy, and neither our dem
ocracy nor that of Great Britain
tolerates discrimination against
Jews.
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
LUMBER .... submerged
To many a New England farm
er the stand of white pine tim
ber in his woodlot is an important
if not his chief source of cash
income.
The hurricane which devastat
ed the northeastern states last
fall blew down trees which would
have been worth to their owners
more than twenty million dollars.
Eight times as much timber is
lying on the ground as would be
cut in a normal year.
The double problem which the
people of New England and the
United States Forest Service are
trying to solve is, first, how to
prevent disastrous fires from
destroying the fallen timber and
spreading to standing timber;
and, second, how to keep the
fallen timber from rotting before
it can be marketed over the next
few years.
The best answer, timber ex
perts say, is to get the logs under
water as quickly as possible. Pine
logs will last for years under
water, where they would rot on
the surface in a year or two. So
all over the devastated sections
of New England farmers are
sledding logs to the nearest
ponds, and the Government is
lending them up to 80 per cent,
of the timber value as soon as
the logs are safely under water.
FLYING Jobs
If tne present plans for enlarg
ing the air forces of the Army,
Navy, Marine Corps and Coast
Guard are carried out, there will
be a greater demand for compe
tent flyers than there are young
men to take the new jobs, by the
time the new planes are ready
for service.
The plan proposed, to include
aviation in college Reserve Offi
cers Training Corps courses,
ought to develop a large number
of new young flyers in a year or
two.
At present there are fewer
than 2,000 Army flyers in active
service, and fewer than that in
the Reserve Corps. The Navy
has a few more, but both services
have nowhere near enough to
man the 10,000 or more fighting
planes which will be put into ser
vice before long.
And there is even a greater
shortage of skilled airplane me
chanics. It takes three men on
the grcund servicing planes, for
every flyer in the air.
It looks to me as if a great op
portunity was opening for young
men who want to fly—as most
of them do—or to qualify them
selves for goad jobs as expert
airplane mechanics. The com
mercial air lines are expanding
almost as fast as the military fly
ing services, and are learning
that it is easier and quicker to
build planes than it is to train
competent men to fly them.
IMPROPER, .... weapon
It certainly seems to me that
it is improper for any govern
ment to collect taxes for any
other purpose than that for sup
porting the government. There
is a growing tendency among
politicians to use the taxing pow
er as a weapon to discipline peo
ple or institutions they don't like.
