THl’RSD.W, JANUARY- 17, 1946 TIME NOW FOR LOCAL ACTIVITY Although reconversion and post war prosperity have not as yet shown any remarkable strides, the time Is at band- for everyone and every group to be particularly concovned about possibilities of developments and Improvements that are not only needed hut must come in order to keep abreast of accolornted move- movement that will speed business, add to the comfort of living, and afford relief from some of the aggra vating conditions of the past. We have In mind- right now the sad-looking, holey, rain - pestered streets of Llllington. Ever so often, but not quite so often, those streota are plowed, scraped, dragged and otherwise monkeyed with, in effort to make them passable. But soon, quite soon, the dirt gets back to its wonted condition—high here, low there, soft everywhere, smooth no where. And so Is money spent to no good purpose at all. There ie a time In the life of every town -when it must go forward. Has that time arrived for Llllington? If not. when? Property values in this town are soaring, even with sorry streets. What they would do with paved streets Is anyone’s guess. While we do not like booms, becaiiise .so much of the thing called '‘boom" is based on flctltious value, still there Is a ■way to make a boom stick, and be of real value. Paved streets would help more than anything else to put property values on a high basis and hold them ttorc. We cannot say what percentage of the property owners of the town Is In favor of improving the streete. But we venture the assertion that once the streets were paved It would be a very small perceivtage, If any, that would want to go back to dirt roads. We repeat, it’s time to do some planning, and forthwith to take some action that will start things going. Other towns have already started, and It shouldn’t be said that Har nett’s coun-tyi^eat town can’t do as well as any town. We have .some of the modern Im- -provemenls here, but the fact that streets cannot be listed as one of our modern Improvements .should compel us to start out in a hurry. Now Is the time—while money Is cheap! Dr. Uapbacl B. G. Armattoe. Brit ish sclenti.st, has made the assertion that Russia has developed f.n alomlc bomb that will outdo In destruoUve- nes the bombs dropped on the Japan ese cities by American nir-flghterrs. Dr. Arniattoo, a native of West Af rica, l.s director of the Lomeshle Re search Center for anthropology and 111) man biology at Londonderry, Nor thern Ireland. Dr. Armattoo declines to disclose the eource of his information, but •when pressed, said some memibors of I.ome«hlo Center’s staff wore afflllat' ed wtlh Russian naturar'Sclontlllc so cieties. "The destructive character of the Anglo-^Amerlcan bomb depends upon a determined- size of uranium,” he said, adding "The Runslan bomb, however, develops its force by a spin or angular motion, making It more applicable for engineering work.” Dr. Victor- P, Welsskopf, theoreti cal physicist who was intimately connected with- the construction of the atom bomb at Los Alamos. New Mexico, is reported as saying that the Londonderry report of development of the now Russian atom bomb iiounded "like a lot of foollshueas." Ho said It was absolutely Impossible to derive as much energy from a small quantity of uranium as report ed- by Dr. Armattoe, .It seems that this Is a case of seeing and believing, on the one hand, and not seeing and not -believ ing, on the other. We are inclined to place more faith In what Dr. Armat too tjays than In what those who are not 111 "the know" might say. At any rule, wo cannot -believe It ■possible to hold secret from Russia the mystery of the ato-in bomb. If the Russians do not already know aa much about atom-splitting as we do, then it’s not going to be a long, long time before they do. One thing to romem-bor, and It may bo kept in mind In connection with what Dr. Welsskopf says, Is that Russia, like some other coun^ trle.s, has learned to do great things with loss material than some other nations, Inclnd-lng America, enjoy. ■For our part, we would -believe Russia could do wonders with less uranium than was used in our bomb with which we knocked the flghtin-g spirit out of Japan. Watch those Russians! They are going places! WHAT IS YOUR L Q. RATING? it has been eald that ihe wisest person Is one who realizes limitation In intelligence. Correct information on some matters may be difflcult to obtain, but some *of the simplest questions can stump people w-ho arc supposed to be welMnfonmod. Yes. you've guessed it—we’ve been lirttentng to the Quiz Kids, And we don’t mind saying we feel a little bit ashamed when we hear those young sters answer questions that would puzzle us. It may be, for all we know, untrue what the announcer says abou-t those kids. He says they do not know what que.stlonij are to be asked; that they answer from their own knowledge without prompting. But oven if the program Is full of faking, that does not lessen the fact that wo do not know the answers, not all of them, and therefore we feel uncomfortable when the kids give the answers. Did you ever put yourself on the stand and ask yourself some quea- tions? It's a mighty good way to do termlne for yourself just how much you know that you ought to know For Instance: Can you spell the names of all the counties in North Carolina? Do you know how many people live in North Carolina? In Harnett county? Can you name which ocean bounds North Carolina on the east? "What’s Ihe name of the ocean on the west rtlde of the United States? Mow many States in the Union? Does the Government spend any of the money it receives from the sale of postage sta-mps in local com munities? In what way? Does sap go u-p and down in trees in sum-mer and winter, or does it remain dormant in winter? -Which fmlt trees bloom earliest. DO JEWS REALLY WANT PALESTINE? The controversy still rages over the question of turning Palestine ■over to the Jews. One might Infer from press dispatches that It Is now simply a question of wholhor Great Britain and the United States may agree to let them have it. But it is -well to keep In mind the fact that solution of the matter Is not so simple as that. The Arabs olal-m that Palestine Is thoin?; that it was originally theirs, and that the Jews are w-hat might bo termed In our phraseology a's "squatters.” A few years ago this writer had an Interesting conversation with two young Arab gentlemen, who, by the way, wore above the average of in telligence of ordinary Americans. In the coprse of the conversation the Palestine qucn.tion arose. Immediate ly the young Arabs waxed eloquent In tholi- contention that the country called Palestine was not and never had -been Jewish; that even though the country might -be turned over to them they would not bo satisfled ex cept for a temporary period. Just as soon as they felt their freedom and a sense of ownership, they -would do as they have always done, begin to wander away and- into all parts of world. "Give Palestine to the Jews bah!" oxclaimea one of the Arabs "they want Palentine like a fish wants the air." No^doubt there Is a sincere desire on the part of the Jews—European Jews—for a place to settle, a place where they^ would, for a tl-mo at least, they would be tree from the yoke of bondage. But wasn’t that the story during Moses’ time? The Covenant promised that so long as the Jews abided, by Us terms they would be happy and .prosperous, but it also stlpnlated- that if they departed from It they would disln tegrato as a free people. That amaz Ing document also promised them however, that when they struck up on ovil days, It they would cry out in repentance to Jehovah, they would bo heard, and their needs ministered la that repentant cry now going up? W so, no one can reasonably deny that their cry will be heard-. .But it is well to bear in mind that the demand of the Jews for their , restoration In Pal-estiae is, probably, HOME BREW BY MRS. LOU OBSERVATIONS BY A COUNTRY SCRIBE Well, since all er these here strikes Is on, hits put er noshon in my hade enbout strikin’ myself. An’ I been er thin-kin’ what I’d -best to strike fer—I can-t strike for ■wages fer I’ve worked all my life an’ ain't never got none. I cant strike erbout long hours fer I has to work ontll my work is done. I cant strike er.bout the weather fer I has to take what comes, so my onliest thing to strike erbout is wlm- mosi’s hats, an’ ontil they gits back to my noshon I'm goin’ on or bare- haded strike an’ let ’em all erlone. I seed er woman, yestiddy with er straw hat on, hit wus er tiny little doll-baby lookin' sailor—not much bigger ’an er ash tray. Hit wus bal anced on er knob on her hade an’ propped u-p to er dangeoue slant by her oar, ■She wus young an’ d-ldn't keer et- fon hit made her look like or mon key, but I alut got no noshon er bahoonln’ myself with one er them quaro non-flts. When they hits back to lia-de size an’ all appendages in proporsli-on-— then r’ll be on the market ergin. Ontll then—effon hit busts up the lat blzness, I’-ve d'oiio struck, an’ yo’ll see mo bare-haded right on. * «> * I'm alio sorry to see the kld-nap- ,pln’ blzncfls rovlvln', hits terrible on them thet’B got younguns an’ money: an’ growed -up folks even gits kid- nappod sometimes, When I thinks erbout hit, I’m sho glad r-m ole, red-haded an’ knock- k-noed-, with no mo’ Agger 'a nor Ag ger one.

Er strange man onct come to my house with er note -book an' pencil In his ban', an' 1 wue scant he wus er kidnapper at flrst, so I sez, "Yo’ er sellin’ somethin’ I suppose.’’ ■He had er mighty mean counte nance an’ I sho felt oneasy, "rm not sellin’ anything," sez he, "I'm doing some research work for a biologic society,^and some of your noighbore said you would be a good one for me to see. "You see, wo are taking a cross- section of country and locating dif ferent types of .people. "It seems to mo that the cave- dwellors are the prototype of you an-d your forobears," sez he grln- nin’, "/Cavo-d’wollorsr I’ve beared tell er them folks; pa used to, teach, us erbout ’em, an’ enbout the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, an’ the Iron Age; an’ the Iron Age alnt over," sez I as I started towards him with er hot Iron in my han’, Ho lef’ thet place at er forty mile or hour clip, an’ I alnt hoarod toll or him but onct since: he stopped at one er my na- bors an’ tolo 'em thet he stopped .at my house to write up my type thlnk- in’ thet my fer-erway ancestors wus cave-d-wellers, but ho foun' he had made or mistake an’ Instead I had come from er colony of viragoes.

HOW LONG 00183 A BUNGLER BUNGLE?—-There was once a flue old fellow living around here wlio was n daily gazer at the Jlggs car toon the dally paper funny column. His name was Hec Green—and a repetition—a flner fellow never lived. Hec got tired, mighty tired, of the way things were going in that car^ toon funny, and he remarked to his frlends one day; "I want to .see a cartoon In which Jlggs beats the devil out of Maggie, and then I want lo see the'whole thing stopped-. I'm tired of It," That’s the way a lot of folks—a whale of a lot of folks—are feeling about OPA, They're as tired as Hec of seeing OPA hop on this and that without rhyme or reason. The latest hop was on cotton—raw cotton, mind you, cotton when still in the hade of the farmers, who have toiled and sweated In the hot boiling .‘-nil and through the blinding sheets of rain to bring forth a crop which (bo world declares It can’t, do wtih- oiiL Kuriiiers, do your stuff, the pa- iriolic 8poilei‘H spell, and the farmer does lil.s stuff. Then what? Why, tho OP.\ comes along and tries to knock the stuffing out of the farmer by Ax ing a ceiling price on his cotton? ■Shades of Pharaoh! How much will the cost of living be affecte-d by Axing a celling price on cotton when there Is not thirty cents worth of cotton In a shirt that sells for (wo to three dollars? Are the last and Anal Items about to drop out of OPA’s list tl;,at keeps It In existence? It would seem so when It hops on cotton. Knowing full well whereof he speaks, this Scribe would he willing to gran-t a pension to every person who Is hardworking and Industrious enough to grow cotton. How do I know whereof I speak? Listen; I chopped and- picked cotton when I wasn’t knee-high to a duck-legged duck. I’ve sweated the sweat of a cotton farmer: I’ve done hls work. I know Its back-breaking exactitudes, Also I know its heart-breaking un- ruHnesa at market-time. My daddy hauled cotton twenty -miles to mar ket and sold it for four cents a pound. Do I know cotton? Tills latest hopping by the OPA gets mo all riled- up, I can't help it. If I had my way. I’d order a thor ough luvostlgai-lon bt OPA to deter mine If there were really any brains mixed -up in it, which I seriously doubt. Then, after cleannlg house, I’d put In a crowd who’d know something about the cost ot -living, who'd made an honest living all their livee, and who wanted to see everyone who works as hard for what he gets as the cotton farmer does left alone to get what little he can for the-product of his t-oll. Now that I’ve got that put of my system I don’t feel any better, andi won’t, till OPA craps the notion of IMittlng a price ceUing on cotton. that, though’It can happen here, it doesn’t. 8ALUTE TO VOLUNTEERS ON RATIONING PROGRAM -Harnett countlans who began their flfth year of service on OPA price control boards this month were laud ed today by OPA District Director T. S, Johnson for their work In the past and reminded that tho work la far from being Anished. ".Board m-mobers who gave «o' un tiringly of their time and energy to the rationing of scarce commodities are the people who made rationing programs a Ano example of American democracy," Johnson asserted. -OPA oontluuesi.to need tho assist ance of unpaid volunteers, on local boards to meet the tremendous In- Aationary threat that Is many times greater no-w than it was after' World War I, Johnson said. Reviewing the history of the or ganization of local boards, Johnson related that Immodlately following Pearl Harbor each governor was ask ed to set up an organization to ra tion tires in hls state by January 6, 1-942. Less than one, month after the war begun, he conttn-ued, approxim ately 7,500 loca’l ratioiitug boards, manned- by 20.000 v-olunteer workers, were recelvhig applications and Issu-, ing ration ccrtiAcates for tiree. 'This original ariiiy of 20,-000' vol unteers soon Increased lo 76,000 and anothor 200,000 men and women volunteered to assist tho local boards regularly, he said. These volunteers ■merchants, bankers, factory work ers. doctors, housewlvee, high school boys and Kii'ls, teachers, ofAco wrk- ers and farmers—gave a specIAed am-ouut of their time on a regular weekly schedule. With everything but sugar now off the rationing'list, OPA has changed tho offlclal name-bf Us local organi zations to Area Price Control Boards, J-ohnson .iald. The district director stressed that while goods are scarce'-and In gre-at demand, these price control boards will greatly need the support of the volunteers who worked so efAcleiitly on price control during the war. * • * Gelentlflc agricultural experimen tation Is now on a hemiirpherlc -bBsiu to produce ampplies which the U.

THURSDAY, JAf'UARY 17, 1946 A Father’s Letter To tH*® Sons Dear Sons: I am wondering whether you boys haive -been among^ the number of ser vicemen overseas who have .been protesting so strongly over the delay In demobilization. And If you have taken no part In it, I wonder what your reaction to to* the whole-matter. I expect I can guess, though. I'feeh .litre that you -boys are in hearty sympathy with the protests, whether you have taken part In the demon strations or not. I think so, because praetically everybody here feels the same way. I am sorry Indeed that the mlli- inry authorities have bungled so bad ly the bringing home of the men and women overseas. If there was not *i sure and certain program of demo bilization >ln the flrst place, it should not -have been announced that ihe servicemen and senvlcewomen over seas would ALL be brought homo -by a certain t-lmo. It seems that on the spur of the.,moment, when flushed with victory, the toppers declared 'with a flourish that all fighting men would be brought' home as rapidly as shipping waa available. They even we-ut further, and stated that every one would -be back 'home by the first of the year or soon thereafter. That was unfortunate, for, as I have said, they should-n’-t have made ,any such] statement without -being absolutely sure they, could- carry ou't their pro gram. Really;, r. believe they had-no. Axed program; at all—that Is, one. based upon performance they could' be sure of. But It Is just another case of bung ling—and there have been so many!

CEILINGS ARE RESTORED ON CI'TRUS FRtJITS Celling prices for citrus fruits, re stored to OPA controls Jan. 4, will aagin appear on the new community price lists posted in food' stores, T. 9, Johnson, OPA district director for North Carolina,'said today. Prices appearing on the com-mu- nlty price lists in the eight south eastern states range from 6 l-2c to $ 1-20 per pound' on Florida white grapefruit, from lie to 15 l-2o on lemons, and from 7c to 9c on Florida oranges, be said. Price control- was restored to fresh citrus fruits after several weeks of consideration becaiuse of unexpected price Increases, Johnson explained. The district director pointed out that when fresh citrus fruit .woe' sus pended from price control in Novem- -ber It generally was selling belo-w celling prices and a bumiper crop -was expected. Instead, prices for fresh citrus, especially oranges, continued to Increase until restoration of con trol, he added. Asserting that OPA wants to get rid of controls wherever possible, Johnson .said," hovrever, that they must be maintained until it is (iefl^ nlet that their-removal would not re sult In sharp Incroaeas In prices.
