Manufacturers InvitedToSee Govt Exhibit A special Invitation to small manufacturers of Cherokee Coun ty to attend an exhibit of products the Federal Government Is buying under Its multibillion dollar pro curement program, to be held In Atlanta) September 10, 11 and 12 has been extended by the Armed Forces Regional Council for the Southeast. The Council, composed of Army, btavy and Air Force, is sponsoring (he exhibit, which will be held in the new exhibit hall of the Atlanta Biltmore Hotel, so that those firms interested In serving as subcon tractors in the fulfillment of gov ernment contracts may be afforded first-hand information as to what the United States is buying from prime contractors and how they might fit into the procurement picture. The United States De partment of Commerce is cooper ating in the project. Lieutenant-Colonel Robert R. Kay, of the United States Air f orce, has been appointed project officer for the exhibit with head quarters at 770 Spring Street, Northwest, in Atlanta. According to Colonel Kay, prime contractors who sell goods to the government located in a number of sections of the Southeast have engaged space for the displaying of their goods with the result that hundreds of different items will be exhibited. The Atlanta exhibit will consti tute the "greatest single opportu nity" for smaller manufacturers in the region to discuss the capacity, productivity, facilities and ability of their own plants to participate in the government purchasing ac tivities with representatives both of prime contractors as well as the armed services. "We are not promising any actu al contracts as a result of the ex hibit, but we are confident that it will be of intrinsic value to many small manufacturers in the way of educating them to just what the government now wants in its na tional program of defense, and just about how they may be able to par ticipate in the defense work," Colonel Kay said. Recent figures from the Muni tions Board showed that firms in the Southeast had sold goods val ued at nearly half a billion dollars from July of last year to April of this year, which leaves little doubt as to the potentialities of the gov ernment's purchasing program, it was stated. OPS Warns Grocers To Use Only Price Tables From OPS The District Information Office of OPS at Charlotte warns the re tail grocer against using pricing tables that are being passed out by manufacturers and distributors. These tables compute the pricing tables erroneously, says J. Ray Shute, deputy district director. Mr. Shute says: "The Charlotte district OPS has a large supply of government-printed pricing tables on hand, correctly computed, and retail grocers who are in the least confused on this point are invited to write for them."

In a ear tain eouthern itate there are two eountriee through which run aome main highways. Bat teuriita arc well advised to stay away from there, btciuM the road* hava been pounded into a mau at pot hole* by overload ed coal trucks op erating at high speeds and often on the wrong side at the road. Now the Df. Foremca state has Iiti against overloading trucks; it has laws against speeding. There is an honest state police de partment But although various ar-' rests have been made, the head el the police department reports that in those two counties they never yet have been able to secure a single conviction in the courts. Why! Who b to Blame? Sometimes politics is to Blame. That Is to say, a man wants to get, or to hold, office, so eagerly, that he will ignore or defy the law in order to keep his little place iri the sun. There is another county where a policeman shot a law-breaker resisting arrest and attempting to shoot the officer. The county Judge tried to make three suc cessive grand Juries Indict the policeman, but after looking into the facts they an refused. Here was the interesting spectacle of a judge on the bench (elected there) trying to make the law work against itself, trying to force a grand Jury to indict an innocent man. The thing was, the policeman was from out of the county, but the man he killed, being a bootlegger, had many friends who were also friends of the judge. ? ? ? We Get What We Deserve BUT we can't blame big business, or mean politics, for the lawless ness of America. If individuals re pected the law. if every man re pected the law Just as he wants otners to respect It, we could handle business and we could get rid of dis sonest politicians. An official high In federal clr cles, who had had plenty of op portunity to observe, remarked last spring, speaking of con trols, that every one wants the other man controlled, every body wants to control somebody else, but nobody wants to be controlled. That's Just the trouble. We can make all the laws we please, but so long as we are the kind of people who will not respect a law if it cramps our own style, then we need not be surprised at the sort of thing a senate crime committee digs up. No Government Is Perfect MANY of us try to excuse our selves by saying that the gov ernment is inefficient or even crooked, and that the laws are un fair. Christians, certainly, can see very easily the failings of both gov ernment and law. But Christians ought to be the very persons to set the example of respect for law and government. Consider the New Testament. Hardly a single Christian men tioned in that book had the least thing to do with making the laws of those times. The gov ernment was from the top down, the exact opposite of democrat ic. None of the early Christians conld vote or hold office. The government, whether In Pal estine or in Rome, was in non-Chris tian hands. The laws lacked a good deal of being wholly just and fair. Nevertheless, Jesus and Paul and Peter, all 6f whom suffered from the laws of their times, urged men to pay tribute (taxes) to Caesar, to support the magistrates, to obey the laws. Even a selfish, money hungry and often cruel government like that of Rome deserved support. : Jesus and Paul alike remind ns that we rely on government for pro tection; that government, in spite of all exceptions, is on. the side of good men, not against them. If we had no government we should miss it and want it St Peter, writing to Christians who were ac tually being persecuted by the gov errJSsefit, urged them nevertheless to be loyal to the authorities. There may come times?Indeed, human nature being what it is, such times are bound to come?when a govern ment proves so corrupt and unjust that It deserves to tall; but even then the way out is not the way of lawlessness. Reforms come best from the law-abiding, not the law deriding. Women's Army Corps 000 recruits; demand grows.
