The "City Fathers" and the Street Committee, as -well as WPA, are to be congratulated upon the splendid condition they have placed Elm Street and other soil top streets in recently. It has been fine work and is great ly appreciated by all. Now lets join in extending Cedar Street out to Halifax road. This will open up good building property as well as provide another northern or eastern outlet and may be taken over and paved by the State Highway department. oOo The announcement in Wednesday's News-Observer that Ernest F. Thomas, Candidate Maxwell's Manager for Franklin County, being connected with the FRANlv LIN TIMES, makes it necessary for the TIMES to state its position. The FRANKLIN TIMES will take 110 part in the nomination of any candidate for Governor, recog nizing the primary a family fight. It will take up the fight for the nominee in the election. The TIMES will give as much of its space to each of the candidates as it well can, but owing to the fact that candidates are pay ing for no publicity it does not feel under any obligation to stretch its limitations or finances to do so ? this will be given as nearly equal and impartial as is possible. ? " 0O0 The argument of T. K. Stockard, Chairman of the Roads Committee of the Louisburg Chamber of Com merce, against the widening of State Highway No. 1 from Norlina to Raleigh, is sound and should receive the serious consideration of the Commission. With two j good paved highways running parallel through this ter- | ritory there is no need to spend the money 011 an already \ good road to serve foreign travel and truck traffic when j it is so badly needed on the farm to market roads 1 throughout the County serving a large number of citi- j zens who are shut off from these super highways by a I system of dirt roads that become almost impassable at I times. Before anything else is done to these highways, j othSr highways that have not been completed should be 1 finished and then the rest of the money should be spent j on improving and paving the present dirt roads in all j communities. It would not only be economical but j would be giving better roads to a large citizenship who j justly deserve it. ^C\n IN A NUTSHELL Labor is awakening to the fact that laws which kill business also kill jobs. The Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor recently made this declaration: "We urge that all Government actions that tend unnecessarily to dis courage business expansion cease and that a positive ef fort be mad# to encourage greater industrial activity. . . At tbis time there are not enough jobs in private indus try to go around . . .This is largely due, in our opinion, to the fact that lack of confidence has stunted business growth . and expansion. ' ' Any policy, any law, or any political clique which fights and discourages private industry, fights and dis courages employment. That's the case in a nutshell ? and it's a good sign that labor is recognizing it. OUVI I NEW HOUSES FOR OLD ! The suggestion is being made this spring thai most of us can get new houses for our old ones. Fire chiefs are explaining that anyone can make surprising home improvements with just a little effort. Spring Time is Clean-up1 Time. The chiefs are interested in the safety angle, too. They recommend checking up on conditions in the cellar, spying that any burnable material that is becoming charred by radiated heat from the smokepipe, should be moved to a safe area or else propertly insulated. Fur naces and stove should be checked for broken or rusted parts and should be thoroughly cleaned. Chimneys should be inspected for cracks, the soot cleaned out, and hot ashes put into a metal container. Don't overlook attics, closets and cellars; remove ac cumulations of paper, rubbish and any old and broken furniture. Clean up the yard and burn papers and trash in an incinerator. If you leave paint rags, oily waste, or cleaning mops about, they may spontaneously ignite. Keep this dangerous material in a metal can with a tight cover. -~ Electric fuse boxes should be checked to make sure that the correct size fuse is used and that no burned-out fuses are bridged with a coin or piece of metal. All electrical work or extensions should be done by an ex pert electrician. Replace all worn or frayed cords on appliances. Let's make Spring Clean-up worthwhile this year. Get a new, safe house for an old, hazardous one! ooo LESS LAWS ? MORE FOOD According to the Federal Surplus Commodities Cor poration, 14,000,000 families in the United States have an average annual income of $312, and an additional -f 8,000,000 families have an average income of only $758. As a result, twenty-two million families can spend only $1.00 to $1.62 per week per person for food. Economic theorists and politicians of all stripes have bandied figures like these about the country for years. The economists don't agree, and neither do the ploitic- | ians on the solution to the problem. But while their heads have been high in the Vilouds of acrimony and de bate, the rest of us have had to get along as well as wo know how. One fact is clear. In the long run, if we are to eat at all, it will have to be through our own efforts. You can't eat ceonomic theory, and government panaceas are shortlived. Modern retail distribution has done more for consumers during recent years than most of us realizp. There has been a steady reduction of "in be tween" costs. Distributors have cooperated with pro ducers on an ever-increasing scale. Producer-consumer campaigns in which thousands of retail merchants join with farmers in promotional drives to move surplus crops into consumers' homes, have been amazingly suc cessful. Too, retailers have worked wholeheartedly with the Surplus Commodity Corporation to adequately feed those in dire need. The food stamp plan has prov ed successful in many territories. These are only a few of the measures that promise to go far toward solving America's nutritional problem. The biggest hazard to success lies in the continual agi tation of political and business minorities who seek to abolish the natural laws of retail competition by work ing for man-made laws that embrace stringent price fixing and class taxation. These laws are the enemies of the 22,000,000 families who need more food.
