Criticieme—Here and There
On highway 18—Between North Wilkes-
boro and end of concrete at Fairplains
Aoulders along concrete pavement are
Ido narrow and in some places are rough
and in need of repair.
In Wilkesboro — Dirt alongside pave
ment on Main street washed out in some
places to depth of 12 inches or more.
Bazardqus enough to cause serious acci
dents.
In North Wilkesboro—Taxicabs speed
ing on streets with impatient drivers
acreeching to sudden stops, blowing horns
on almost everybody at stop lights and
otherwise behaving like they own the
atreets.
On Highway 421 and Highway 18—
Pfedestrains west of this city on 421 and
north on 18 to Fairplains have tenacious
and dangerous habit of walking on pave
ment regardless of amount of automobile
traffic.
In Wilkesboro—Unsightly weeds waist
iigh on Main street between sidewalk and
pavement.
In North Wilkesboro — Broken and
rough sidewalk pavement at number of
places; minor repairs needed.
In timberland—Sawmill men cuttin
' lfipirrigs~ njbt large enough to saw into a
four-by-foir clear of bark, practice repre
senting in^cusable waste of growing tim
ber.
At school buildings—Window panes
broken by prowlers during vacation sea
son.
Along highways—Telephone poles
broken and being kept in semi-upright po-
eition by props or by support of wires.
Everywhere—The weather is too hot,
too cool, too wet or too dry—take your
choice and say what you want too. It will
probably do as much good as the other
priticisms listed above.

Similar comparisons to show favoritism
for other classes over soldiers could be
made. Some interesting things could b
said in comparison of a treatment accord
ed a soldier and a WPA worker.
It is time that our nation recognizes the
importance of the men who bear the bur

financial remuneration equal to that given
persons who face no danger and carry
very little responsibility.

'• Treat Soldiers Fairly
Our government is about to take an un
precedented step by conscription or selec
tive service during peace time.
However, the proposition is debatable
and there is loudly voiced opposition in
some quarters. We believe, however, that
the majority of the American people at
tbi.s time favor selective service draft be
cause it offers the only sure way to get a
large number of men into military train
ing in the least possible time.
Heretofore in peace time our govern
ment has always depended upon volun
teers to maintain the standing army. The
main argument at present against the vol
unteer plan as against selective draft is
that an insufficient number will volunteer
and that the type of men who volunteer is
not as high as could be obtained by selec
tive draft or conscription.
The draft question causes many Ameri
cans to pause for just a moment to con
sider what we have been offering young
men in the service.
The United States array pays $21 per
month and to get in you must sign up for
a three-year period.
That is not so lucrative, to say the least,
and it is little wonder that an insufficient
number have answered the call for volun
teers to safeguard our nation’s security in
the world.
Let u.s compare the proposition offered
a volunteer with some other government
work, notably-the C. C. C.
As we said above, a volunteer for the
army must sign up for three years, and he
4pets $21 per month. Upon his shoulders
^ reeta tbe defense of the nation—^the re-
yn^faiJer of the population and all which
hold, dear. the security of the
threatened bound to
ft with his life.
It is true that these are not regarded as
absolute rights. We impose limits by cus
tom and by public authority. But we try
to adhere to the pattern and we recur to it
whenever it is temporarily disregarded.
The conviction persists that this individual
fre.;dom must be maintained—limited on
ly in order to preserve the maximum of it
for all. For in the freest possible exercise
of individual initiative and energy we see
the mainspring of our past achievement
and the guaranty of a greater future—the
fulfilment of the promises of American
life.
There is no other plan of human rela
tions we know of that has produced or is
producing a like result. Certainly the to
talitarian systems now spreading over
Europe—and not without their advocates
here—bear no fruit that we crave. We
I believe in hard work—but in occupations
of our own choice; ii\ discipline—but self-
discipline; in individual duties and group
I duties—but not imposed by artitrary pow-
I er; in cooperation—but of a free people.
I Free institutions, however, affording
the maximum of individual opportunity
I are not an accident of nature, like the cli-
I mate—nor do they persist like the sun,
I moon, and stars for whose existence and
I movements and continuance we feel no re
sponsibility. Generations of vigorous, in-j
ddustrious, and adventurous people have'
established these institutions. Only people |
of the same sort can safeguard and main
tain them. A corollary; of individual free
dom is individual responsibility; each gen
eration must earn again, by hard work, de
votion to duty, loyal cooperation, produc
tive achievement, its right to be free.
Through all the changing conditions
that our increased mastery of nature
1 creates, through all the adjustments and
i readjustments of human relations that
1 such changes require, we are insistent on
j maintaining our heritage of freedom. Els-
sentially, this ideal, interpreted in practice
as well as our social experience and social
; intelligence permit, is the American way.
