YOUNG Superintendent's Office ELIZABETH HARTLEY Production Office HALLENE BECK Community Reporter MARGARET SKINNER Warehouse, Shipping, Dyehouse and Outside HODGE PHIGER, KELLY PAYNE We Register A Protest This paper has no sympathy with Communistic philosophy, and we are quite aware of the fact that Russian leaders have failed to cooperate with the other powers towards world peace. However, we are just as much opposed to Nazi philosophy, and we confess to some rising of temperature when every man with an idea is called a Communist. Some of our opponents of Russia have leaned so far backward in an attempt to avoid touching Communism that they have fallen fiat into Fascism. One of the best cartoons which we have seen lately was one in which Uncle Sam and Congress were riding in an auto which had Pro-American in front and Anti-Communism in the rear. The driver has his face turned backward, and is running the car backwards. The caption says: "Couldn't we make better time if we drove for ward?" This is our policy. Let's drive forward for the real American way of life; forward for Democratic ideals and practices. If we make Democracy work for our own people we shall set, up the most pow erful check to Communism that can be devised. A working Democ racy will be its own best defense. One can be positive for something without being offensively aggressive to the opposition. We must remind those who are sound ing the war drums that a war with Russia will open the floodgates of Communism throughout the world—if there is any world left. If we enter upon another world war, it will make world war number two look like a Sunday School picnic. So, let's be firm for some thing, and stop calling the rest of the world bad names. As we have remarked before, riding high horses is extremely dangerous busi ness. Stop! Look! and live! Colonel Hatcher of the North Carolina Highway Patrol is wag ing a war on highway accidents. He is angry about the whole situ ation, for with our highway and city traffic casualties mounting daily, one can hardly blame him for "blowing his top" about the evident don't care attitude of those who drive automoViles. Colonel Hatcher revealed some interesting thoughts and facts at a recent meeting of the Mid-State Safety Council. North Caro lina highways are antiquated and the ability to do anything revo lutionary about this situation at present is handicapped by lack of labor supply and materials. While the State has a great mileage of paved roads and highways, the highways for the most part were built to accommodate speeds of 35 miles per hour. This is not a criticism of the highway system, but it is a fact that every driver in this State needs to know and rfipflgPY p!
