Raleigh. Dec. 9. ? Investigators
for the beer Industry will visit 1
every North Carolina county dur- I
log 1941 to make certain that re
tail beer dealers conduct* reputu- 1
ble places of business.
Edgar H. Bain, of Qoidaboro,
State Director of the Brewers and
North Carolina Beer Distributors
committee, announced today tihat
the industry's "clean up or close1
up" campaign has resulted in the!
elimination of 136 undesirable
beer outlets in 41 counties ? 109
by revocation, three by surrender
of license, and 24 by refusal to
re-license.
"A great majority of beer deal
ers conduct reputable places of <
business," Colonel Rain said, "but ;
there is a minority which disre
gards the law and public decency.
Our campaign is directed at t<hese
scattered outlets. During 1941,
our field representatives will
check on these outlets and when
necessary, we will request the lo
cal authorities to revoke their li
censes."
During the past year. Bain
said, more than 1.000 retail out
lets in 84 counties were inspect
ed. He emphasized that the "clean
up" campaign will be carried to
all counties in 1941

Observations
Bj W. V. SHKLTON
If and when
our press be
comes dictated
to by the pow
ers of govern
meuli official
dom has been
tossed iuto the
ash can. Am
erica. thanks to
the fore-sight
ed founders of
our Democracy
is the last re
maining country in the world
where ohe press is completely
free. The newspapers were the
first to appreciate what this free
dom means and they are taking
steps to forever guard that* valued
freedom. From their editorials
and institutional ads they are
hammering home the facts that
freedom brings. Their greatest
campaign, however, is the contin- 1
ued presentation of facts about
persons and the events they bring
to pass. Here in your newspaper
the facts are gathered, analyzed,
well written and printed, free of
color or opinion in order that you
as a free American can reach your
own opinion. True, on the editor
ial page you find the editor and
his staff expressing opinions. But
here on the editorial page they
ar^ engaging in another American
right of free speech. Look not in
t'he news columns for opinion, for
here no one tries to influence your
thought except by the presenta
tion of all important facts. There
is no Hitler or Goebbels telling
American papers what to print.
Only the greater weight of public {
opinions ? these opinions that you
reach yourself ? keeps you free in)
America. Think of that tor a mo- !
ment1. If some Hitler. Stalin or I
Mussolini could control your op-)
inion they could enslave you with
out any force. That is the way Hit- 1
ler conquered Germany. He con- 1
trolled t'he press. He told people i
ouly his side. He told it over and
over again. Finally, because theyi
had nothing else on Which to base;
their opinions, they all came to!
agree with him. True, his sup- !
porters put u handful of people!
in concentration camps. Bui- don't i
make the mistake of believing]
that lit- forced the people to agree j
with him. The great mass of Ger- 1
mans were and are his supporters !
They goose sU*p for him. give up
necessities tor him. They are dy-|
inn lor him by the tens of thous-j
ands. Here in America we get all ?
sides of a question in facts, plus!
the opinions of the leaders. Only,
through these facta and this rig'.it!
of ours to have them are our doors!
of freedom kept open. Defend |
that right ? not for the sake of
the newspapers ? but' tor your
own sake. ; 1

While viBlting with u friend the'
other day I noticed a scene In j1
miniature of The Nativity. Withl
the Christ Child. Joseph. Mary,
the three wine men and small1
daintily modeled figures of cattle
and sheep, the scene was most^
life-like and interesting. I exam-!
ined the scene and the tiny flg- {
ures closely. Stamped on l*he bot

bore another distasteful phrase
"Made in Italy." It> is another of 1
