M. there will be a display of pictures taken in this section of the country—in the Chape! of Anderson Auditor ium. The public is cordially invited to join with the Schools of Montreat for the interesting evening. —lola Sigel went to Lenoir Sun day. ★ Say You Saw It In The NEWS j"|pr- JUST WHERE is all the nation’s I money ? Probably we’ve all asked , that question at some time. How- I evt-r, we don't have to go far to | find a multitude of “experts” ! coper ro point out the answer j their answer. These might range from the old wheeze about “90 ter cent of the wealth in the riands of 10 per cent of the peo ple," to other outdated adages just as economically unsound. The real answer is simple enough. In investigating the pos sible culprits who command the 'nation's economy most of us fail to consider the most important individuals—ourselves. Yet many .•eople think only of wealth as being controlled by a few. These usually are pictured as pompous capitalists exploiting the masses for their own gain. A more un true picture could hardly exist. More ACTUALLY, the dis- tribution of the na tion’s money consti utes the most striking argu ments for freedom of endeavor :n our country. Together with v.ere than 50 million of his fel- Ic-V employed workers, Mr. Aver age Citizen in 1945 took home some 114.5 billion dollars 71.1 per cent of the national income. As members of the largest group they received the largest share of the country’s money. This is the natural consequence of democ racy. i Wide distribution does not stop here. In the same period 15 per cent of the national income went to the proprietor class—the farm ers, small businessmen, doctors, dentists, and other professional people. It is difficult to think of the local farmer, the corner gro cer, or the family doctor as Don't Bern Brash Without Permit It shall be unlawful for any per- I son, firm or corporation to start or cause to be started any fire I or ignite any material in any of , the areas of woodlands under the | protection of the State Forest j Service or within five hundred feet Icf any such protected area, be tween the first day of February and the first day of June, inclus ive, or between the first day of October and the thirtieth day of November, inclusive, in any year, without first obtaining from the State Forester or one of his duly authorized agents a permit to set I out fire or ignite any material in such above mentioned protected areas. (Section 14-139, General Statutes of N. C. as ammended by Chapter 120 of Public Laws of 1939 session.) Each year, forest fires resulting : from burning of brush, grass and other materials cause a large per centage of privately owned wood 1 land acreage lost by fires. This percentage of forest burned has j been as high as 50 percent, during ! some years, off the total area j burned in some counties. I Those counties having forest fire protection and requiring burning permits in District One of the North Carolina Forest Service are as follows: Buncombe, Henderson, Madison, Mitchell, McDowell, Polk, Rutherford, and Yancey. No charge shall be made for | the granting of burning permits J which are necessary during the ! fall fire season from the first day of October to the thirtieth day of November, inclusive. The Forest Service Organization appreciates all effort made by the public in preventing and suppressing forest fires and in reporting any fire that is uncontrolled in any forest ed area in North Carolina. A. C. Peek of Weaverville is County Forest Warden and in his organization the following wardens and agents are authorized to issue ■burning permits: Merrill’s store, J. M. Williams, I. B. Reed, J. B. Guffey, Will Pinkerton, and Volley More people /S£f/4tf7<* than are smoking ever before! I lie Monc\ Aien By GECRC-E fr r ';ON Prtiident of Hjir.’ng Ccilig* Sscrcy, Aryans a* vsr greedy exploiters. Through .heir own work and training they have provided themselves with a live lihood. What THE REMAINING Change? 12.9 per cent is again distributed. Rents, in terest and dividends account for the major part, with corporate savings amounting to only 2.8 per cent of the national income. Included in rent income are large numbers of small property own ers, whose rent-bearing holdings might be only a home or build ing. Then, too, thousands of small stockholders account for s good share of the interest any dividend income. The 4.5 billion dollars earned as corporate savings is a far cry from the ‘ profiteer” pictures painted by those who would change our way of economic life. For the most part, this is the source of the laboring man’s in come. This 2.8 per cent return to corporations is their share of a system which puts 71.1 per cent into the pockets of the em ployed man. As a minority group, corporations receive a minority share. Despite these sobering statis tics, there are many who would call for a change. There are those who would take the responsibility away from the individual and vest it in a central authority. It is paradoxical that these interests would “give the wealth to the people" in a nation where the majority of the people now re-- ceive a majority of the income. They would junk our successful economy to institute an unproved one all to achieve an ideal which we have achieved already in greater measure than has any other country, FORMER RESIDENT HERE Mr. and Mrs. Deward E.
