The latest query is what will the Nazis do after tak

The Commissioners are to he congratulated on their
determination not to raise the tax rate. Let's hope
they can succeed.

The British would receive more sympathy from
America if she had won the favor of the American boys
who \rent across in 1918 and had attempted to pay its
War debts.

It's worth a little extra effort for the town to get an
other bridge across Tar River and two miles of street
paved. Especially when the labor is to be furnished
by others than the town.

Either the Town and County Commissioners or the
Chamber of Commerce should send a delegation to see i
the Highway Authorities and get an agreement on what
the Commission contemplates on doing at Louisburg |
with reference to connecting the several highways on a
permanent basis. Next year other matters may de
plete the funds. ? ?

PRACTICAL FARMING
That Louisburg College is forging ahead and is
abreast with the changing times is demonstrated in its
recent announcement of the addition of a course in J
practical farming to its already long list of instructions
offered young ladies and young men. This course is not
intended to take the place of the courses offered by the
State institution, but to supply useful and practical in- !
formation to the young men and women who may not go
to these full course institutions. The course has been
especially prepared to give real information that will
serve the boy or girl in their every day life problems in
planting, cultivating and harvesting the several crops,
soil conservation, and in addition how to do the many
little jobs in an advantageous way. This is a long step |
forward in the right direction of supplying the practical
information one needs as he passes along through life,
and contributing to a broader and more profitable
future.

BACK FAITH WITH CASH
In a recent address, President Robert M. Hanes of
the American Bankers Association, said that if ever
there was a time when America needed to be on guard,
, it is now ? opce our personal liberties were lost, they
would never be regained. The nation's job now is two
fold: prepare against possible invasion; keep out of
foreign war.
He said: "The bankers of America are behind the
President's- defense program 100 per cent. They are
ready to finance that program."
As in the past, private banking is preparing to give
all its energies to the service of the country. Banking
has faith in America. Banking will back that faith
;with dollars.
National rearmament means that great new factories
must be built, and old factories expanded. It means
that obsolete machines must be replaced by new. It
means difficult and costly readjustments throughout the
whole industrial structure. And to achieve this, will
ing minds and hands, vital as they are, are not enough.
Money, vast amounts of it, is necessary. And the banks,
as Mr. Hanes said, are ready with the money. ,
Today all industry is unified ? eager to do all it can
to perpetuate our American way of life. And banking
is among the most important servants that we have.
ooo
WASTE ! OUR NUMBER ONE ENEMY
There is growing public) demand that all government
expenditures be drastically reduced by legal mandate,
with the sole exception of appropriations for interest
on the national debt and for the great rearmament pro
gram.
The American people are today ready and eager to
make any necessary sacrifices to the end that the coun
try may be made secure against invasion. They will
literally give until it hurts, and then give again. But
the American people are in no mood to see their money
further squandered for uneconomic, unnecessary and
.wasteful purposes.
The time has passed when we can afford ( political
"luxuries." The time has come when every possible
nickel must be saved for the necessities. In all proba
bility, great cost cuts could be made so far as most
governmental activities are concerned without impair
ing in the slightest any important work. The high pa
triotic duty of every official is to weigh, analyze and plan
budgets for the various departments which will be mod
els of economy. Will they do it!
The American people must demand maximum r?saltsi
for every dollar spent. Economic preparedness is a vi
(fHi partner of military preparedness. Governmental
waste fjrpxn now on is one of our country 's most insid
ious enemies, for it can be disguised in so many forms.
STOP LABOR RACKETEERING
The amendments to the Vflagner National Labor Re
lations Act, which were recently approved by the House
by a two to one vote, represent a praiseworthy attempt
to correct a law which has been a constant source of
industrial discord. ? ? : >,-<?
The amendments provide fpr the appointment of ? a
new labor board, separate administrative and judicial
functions, permit employers to discuss labor problems
with employes, require the board to obtain the approval
of members of craft unions before forcing their absorp
tion into industrial unions, and make it legal for em
ployers to refuse to bargain with alien labor leaders.
In no way would these amendments deprive labor of
any legitimate right of protection which it now has.
The cause of hopest, unionism would not be imperiled
to the slightest degree, and the right of collective bar
gaining would not be weakened. All the amendments
would do, is to eliminate certain abuses which have no
place ; in a free country. They would stop the labor
board from acting as judge, jury and prosecutor, all in
one ? and they would deprive czar-like alien agitators of
powers which have been employed time and again to
foment unnecessary and unjustified industrial strife
and violence.
The laboring man himself will gain most, in the long
run, from reform of the Wagner Act ? even as the honest
laboring man is the worst sufferer when labor racketeer
ing is permitted to run rampant.

DON'T CONFUSE ISSUES
There is a small group of defeatists in this country
who seem to have become persuaded to the view that op
position to totalitarianism requires totalitarian methods.
They observe the success of the dictator-ridden nations
in creating gigantic military machines in a brief period
of time, and reason that a form of dictatorship must be
exerted here if the United States is to swiftly build its
armed defense to the necessary level.
Anyone wh? believes that has forgotten or never
knew the history of this country. We have met great
crises before ? and we have met them as a free people.
When emergency comes, all Americans ? worker, capital
ist, executive, farmer ? forget their differences, and join
thfeir resources in the interest of the common good. And
no dictator is needed.
That is happening in the present emergency. Big
business men and little business men have glgdged them
selves to do all in their power to assure the swift com
pletion of the defense program. The great basic in
dustries of this country ? the railroads, the utilities, the
steel companies, the machine makers ? are prepared to
do whatever is necessary to meet the exigencies of the
future. They are prepared to cooperate with govern
ment to the limit, to the end that democracy may be
perpetuated through democratic methods.
America has never had a dictator ? and America
doesn't need one now. Americans arenU robots, who
must be treated like the cogs of a machine. Americans
are individuals, determined to do th? finest job they
ever did in the interest of their country. Those who
talk of the need for dictatorial powers to save demo
cracy, of ruthless government domination of business
and industry, would destroy our traditional way of life
which has proved its strength in times of greatest dang
er. They would destroy the very thing they profess a
desire to save, namely freedom and opportunity.

THIS IS RAILROAD COOPERATION
The first pledge of industry 's whole-hearted coopera
tion with the new air expansion program came from a
railroad. William M. Jeffers, President of the Union
Pacific, said in a full-page advertisement:
"There can be 110 doubt, in the light of world events,
that America needs an air force second to none.
' ' There can be no doubt that supported by the cooper
ation of American industry the genius of United States
plane builders can find ways to meet any demands put
upon them. i
"Attention centers} today on the building of military
ships.
"As citizens of the United States, we stand four square
behind such a project.
"As transportation men, we see another need ?
strengthen commercial aviation too.
"Anything which increases the speed of communica
tion and trav'el knits the nation more closely^together.
"That is what transportation has been doing since
the first railroad was built, what it must continue to do
if America is to develop and be secure.
,"Some may see in this a diversion of business from
the rails to the air, which at first thought would seem
to work against our jBelf -interest.
? "That is the narrow view.
"It ignores the fact that in times like these coojiera- ,
tion counts for more than competition, and that intel
ligent self-interest starts with having the nation strong.
""What helps the country helps all business, and what
helps business helps the railroads.
"On that basis, we welcome the growth of aviation,
and to the speeding of its expansion program we pledge
foil cooperation. "

Now is th^jseason of the year
tor vaccinations. FREE Vaccina
tion Clinics are now being held
at Riley's, Baker's Cross Roads,
New Hope and Royal. The Health
Department will be glad to ar
range Free Clinics in any neigh
borhood upon request. Typhoid
Fever vaccination has reduced
the incidence of this disease to a
minimum in Franklin County but
unless you are vaccinated every
two or three years the risk of1
having the disease will recur.
There are certain dangers that
may breed and disseminate ty
phoid fever and other intestinal
diseases among which are the
open well with chain pull where
any one drawing water from such
wells, no matter how dirty the
hands, wash them in the well and
this becomes a possible source of
contamination of the drinking
water. Drinking water is one of
the greatest breeders of typhoid
fever.
The last legislature passed a
law requiring parents to have
their children vaccinated against
Diphtheria at six months af age.
Diphtheria vaccination protect^
in 95 per cent of cases. Parents,
if your child contracts diphtheria
and is desperately ill or dies from
the effects of game, think of the
regret and remorse you will have
and the injustice you have done
your child. Diphtheria vaccina
tion is practically harmless and
almost painless.
Kmall-Pox
Small Pox in this territory has
almost become an obsolete dis
ease. Why? Because of vaccina
tion. Small-Ppx vaccination is al- I
moat a positive insurance against 4
this 4iaeaaa. With vaccination
