TIIDIISD.VY, JU'l.Y 11. 194G LOCAL TAX RATE HIGH BUT NECESSARY The N. \vs feels that U should com mend the Ulllngton Town Council for its uisdom In deciding to retain till* high tax rate for the next fiscal year. .Mtboiigh {1.74 can be viewed .as rather lofty for a town under debt obligation of only $12,500, still the fact ^.llolllll I) considered that Elll- ington has mueb need for public Im provements. ttewer system and street.s can use a goodly sum in rendering the coun- tyseai more mooern. Other items, too, eonld bo considered necessary, such as. for instauco. more adequate gar bage dispoMal. To be sure, bigb tax rate is not soiiii tlting that can be hold out as in ductive to new enterprises and new„ residents. Ilni the average Investor Is liard-hcaded enough ,to figvj-t,' on what h, will get. for the tax ho must pay. .X tax rate too low would mean that the town is inirsnlng ro course 01 development, has little to offer, and doe.sn’t Intend to do any better than merely “go along" The $1.74 tax rale can mi an a ircniendons lot to Lilllngton if It Is iisid wisely, what with Indebtedness now only a trifling sum, and The .N’ew.s looks forward to some very progrosslvo steps. ATOM BOMB SUFFICIENTLY DESTRUCTIVE First reports from the atom bomb test on Bikini atoll may have caused some confusion among those who had come to think of the newly discover ed destroying agent a.s the absolute "wiper-offer" of the earth. Shortly after the test It was stated that "not . 0 oonslderable damage was done.” -Ml Information about the tests, liowivor, should bo taken with a large dose of “military secrecy.” Tlu ro is plenty of deadly power In the atom itomh, and Just how much is a matter that will not be given publicity—not just now, at any rate. La.st report comes from Capt. Cforge Lyon, radiological officer, who declares that the entire fleet of 73 .ships would have been left help less bad it been fully manned. There 's a bint that we might well gather for oitr own conclusion: why the de- siiuctioii If the ships had been fully manned? The atom bomb, what it can do, and what it may be made to do, will still bi' among the mysteries In the lay mind, and will continue so for some time to come. There Is every reason to believe, however, that what the bombs did for the big Japanesi* cities Is merely a sample of what may be expected if ever tbore is another war—whieb, please God, may never come. CAN OUR ECONOMY SURVIVE WITHOUT OPA? With everybody knowing human nature for what It is, and what It can be eoitnlod on to bo for aye and aye, nobody really placed any faith In the hope expressed by Mr, Chester Bowle.s. retiring head of the emer gency agency that "everybody would try to hold prices down.” lie it said to the eternal credit and commoudullon of many retailers and others that they have vowed they will "hold the line” as long as the inanti- facturer.s and others from whom they l-iiy refrain from pushing them against the wall. Manufacturers, too, many of them, have declared by all that’s good and holy that they will not only maintain reasoiiablf prices but will stoutly re sist any hiking of prices. With these substantial aids for proceeding toward nornialcy without regimentation, the consuming pub lic—and remember, that includes all of us—may with comparative ease take the mailer In hand and go along In even tenor. That la to say, fair- and right- minded people being in the great ma- JorKy, It should bo comparatively easy for the wrong-mlndod chlselers to be dealt with. And how can we deal with them? First, those who seek to take ad vantage of the situation to grab off ixorbltant prices should bo so scorned that they will feol the con tempt which good people hold for them. That again calls for concerted action. But It would seem to be the Immediate concern of all good peop^ that righteousness shall prevail, therefore all should cooperate In the movement against chlselers. .Many ft ports have eomo to light in which landlords have jumped rents to dizzy heights. The good people in every coniinunlly in which such things occur can, it they will, make It too uncomfortable for such goug- ors to operate successfully. 7f everybody will put forth the same effort in cooporallng with such movement as they did lo hold the lino under OPA, then it will not bo long until we can forget OPA ab.so- inti'ly and completely. HAPPY DAYS FOR THE VACATIONERS Taking earliest possible advantage of tbc first summer since 1941 to go hire and yonder In search of relaxa tion and recreation, thousands, yea millions, of people have either boon, have gone, or are Intending to go to their favorite resorts lo rovol in wbatevor form of vacation suits their fancy. After all of the inhibitions of the past several years, togelber with the trials and tribulations Involved in ef-, forts lo abide witbin the scope of rules, regulations, restrictions, and xo forUi, that a war-llmo economy imposed upon them, the vacationers feel soimwhal like a half-grown eltl- zeti out of school, 'rhoy don’t mind, now, what teacbor says, they’re going to do their vacation stuff! .Vnd it's noil going to matter much how blltzy the sunburn and mosaui- loes become. For the 1940 vacationer feels amply able to defend him-or- hei'self against such minor comba tants. This should be, and no doubt will be. the happiest vacation most peo ple have had since Jap treachery threw terror our way and put our bones aching lo the marrow. Tt will bo enjoyable bi cause we now have peace, or scmethlng akin lo it. That joy will'bo reinforced and lo a degree stabilized .by reason, of till- fact tbo Amorlo.in people 'nowL feel that from hero on they arc In complete mastery of the world's des tiny and they are determined to see that it is charted on a .sate and sane course. That there Is much yet to be done will not dampen the spirit of the va cationer, because the confidence is held that, come what may, they w’ill never again be caught napping when world safity la at stake. New Hunting—Fishing Guide Now Available Harnett county hunters may now gain an Invahiablo aid at local Esso statloms, where the new "Esso Fish ing and Hunting Guido lo North Car olina” is now available to all.

This leaf when cooked will command great attention and admira tion from huyors who want it for making cigarolles and other forms of ti.snble tobacco. It’s a great pro cess, and the proee.s.aors aro past- niaslcrs in llie art. For the past coutile of dicades, Harnett tobacco growor.s have attained lo some re nown for their snperloi product. Warehouslinien aro very anxious in deed for the Harnett farmers to bring tobacco to their floors. The reason is obvious. One warehouse man once told The Nows, that if it were not for Harnett tobacco that oamc to ills floors his .soiling aver-; age would drop ' consideivihlyT The, oookoi's aro very Important^ people right now! Hi * « WATCH THOSE YOUNGS’rBRS! — !n Clerk Howard Godwin’s',office last Friday morning a tocn-ngc Negro boy was brought in by the officers bo- causo he had made some improper remarks to a young white,girl. What to do with the culprit was the Clerk’s problem, and .Mr. Godwinladmonish- ed the boy’s father, who was present, that ho must keep a closet! watch on his .son. The girl’s father . was also present, and be it said lo. his ev.dit that he didn’t fly off the handle and slay the boy before the officers had lime to lake action. Over in another county a gang of young while boys were arrested tor robbery. They w’ere teen-age also. There seems to be a wild tendency .among leeu-agers. It should be impressed upon tlteir par ents, as Clerk Godwin did In the case Friday morning, that they should keep closer walch upon thvir young sters. * * * COMING UP.—.■\sk any r.utomobile dealer today when ho expects to get now ears and he will tell yaii, "Don’t know." Thus one of the most press ing questions goes nnansv/ered. It’s the most pressing bocausojAhore are so many people who want'new cars. Others things arc wanted, too. New waslilng machine.s, refrigeijators, ra dios, and tho like, Strikes held np the making of llu*se things. Tli,o strikers got more pay. Then tho mannfaclur- v-rs complained that OPA was holding up prodnctlon. Now OPA i.is dead. What next? It’s this column’s guess that the OPA hurdle was tho list, and (ho new things are going to come out soon. Punk prophesy? Let's wait and see, * Hi * THE IirGHEST T.\X. — We’ve huird many arguments on the pro side of bond issues for roads and schools. But, In our opinion, tho championship for the best argument remains with the late Governor Bob C.h'iin. who hailed from nWinslon- Salem. (For the benefit . of too- yonngsLi r.s, Glenn was oncej|Govei'nor of .North Carolina, when good schools and good roads wore not as popular as now.) Governor Glenn, in speak ing of lax levies for these purposes, remarked (hat: "Mud and illiteracy levy tho hlglust taxes,” Mull over tliat one, and you’ll get a bright idea.
