THURSDAY, OCT. 16, 1941 \© The Navy Asks For Men The United States Navy is making an in teresting experiment in an effort to secure recruits to man the two-ocean navy that is now under construction. An extensive ad vertising campaign is being undertaken in the hope of attracting the attention of men who wish to enlist in the Navy. There are many advantages available to a young man who enlists in the Navy to day. Not only will the sailor be paid for his time, but, very often, he will be in structed in a skill that will open new avenues of employment after the naval en listment period has been completed. To earn and to learn at the same time is a combination not often found. No Discrimination In some quarters, it is being urged that rigid controls be placed on the prices of farm products of all kinds. It is difficult to see how this could be done without bankrupting a large segment of the agricultural population, unless equally strict controls were placed over the farmer’s costs for materials and labor. Farm labor, for "instance, is at the high est level in history, and is extremely diffi cult to obtain. The farmer’s taxes, like everyone else’s, are shooting up. And the price he must pay for practically every thing he buys is rising as well. A ceiling should be placed on farm prices when, and onl.v when, equitable ceilings are applied to all other prices. Any other course would be rank, ruinous dis crimination. will never Habit gets the best of some men. Many a man who worked his way through, col lege is now working his son s way through. —Los Angeles Times. North Carolina can take little pride in the number of people killed on its high ways; the'conclus on is inescapable that some of these deaths can be prevented. Log-Jam “Industrial managements strike against defense!" In spite of uncertainties of what the fu ture holds in the form df unnecessary re strictions and controls, industiw has rolled up its sleeves and gone to work in record time. And it will continue to work, come what may. Such is the promise that NAM president Walter D. Fuller recently made to the nation. According to Mr. Fuller, however, in dustry could do an even better better job than it is doing if some of the uncertainties were removed. At the present time, for ex ample, management “w'onders how impor tant defense production really is, w'hen government sits blandly by W’hile two groups of labor leaders make defense plants the battleground for juri.sdictional warfare. “It builds armaments for the defense of freedom, while the principles and institu tions on which that freedom rests are pro gress vely being sacrificed. It worries^ whether we may not be preparing to de fend the assassinated corps of freedom rather than our liberties themselves. “It sees, for the first time in the Repub lie’s history, the individual’s right to work made subject to the arbitrary whims private organizations, all with the implied sanction on the government itself. “Here is the basic log-jam of defense . . . Unle.ss American industrial management has freedom to pursue its function of free enterprise and unless the American wor ker has the Fght to work, neither can con tribute its “full participation in the nati onal defense program’ which the Presi dent requests, and which the people of the nation are entitled to get.” NoftHwiHanr Dr. Kendall Emerson has written a rery informative article on the causes of ttber- culosis, in a late issue of Ufe and Health magazine. He endeavors to answer some df the leading questions which often re main a mystery to the average person. “No matter how poor, run-down, mal nourished, overworked, or badly housed you may be, you will not have tuberculosis unless the germ gains entrance to your body,” he says. “It is the tubercle bacillus alone that causes tuberculosis, and^ the only way to prevent the disease from develop-’ng is to eradicate these genns from the world. “Tuberculosis is eminently a family dis ease. Obviously the reason for this is that tuberculosis, being an infectious disease, ih most likely to pass from one member of the family to others with whom he is in in timate contact. The old belief that tuberculosis ‘runs in PATRIOT. NORTH WHJKESBQRO.

Then there were only the old buildings which looked like a sedate college cpmpns and a few temporary buildings.

Thus there may be some family lack of ability to in hibit this growth or to kill off even a small number of invaders. The lesson from this is that those in whose families tuberculosis has been prevalent ^for some generations are under special obligation to watch their health and to avoid contact with known cases of the disease.” Df. Emerson points out that keeping physically fit is important in combating tuberculosis, and that being run down opens channels for the entrance of disease, precisely as the holes in worn-out shoes al low moisture to enter. If you suffer from “that tired feeling” or have other symptoms indicating a phy sical maladjustment, see your doctor at once. It is to the credit of the medical pro fession that it is as much interesting in preventing disease, as it is in effecting cures when disease has been contracted.

X.’n- iformed men we saw seemed con tented enough and without a worry in the world. There was an occasional M. P. but there seemed to be no oh. jectio^ to going over all parts of the fort except one. A M. P. stopped our car as we turned in to one side street hut he prompt ly waved us by, seeing how dumb and perfectly harmless we look ed. However, after driving two blocks and turning another corn er we were stopped again and told that we were not supposed to be in that section. We told the guard that we had been allowed in there by the outer guard but he very courteously told us the nearest way back out to the main road and our immediate destina tion, which was Pope Field.

There is no Bottleneck in Brains Borrowed Comment TRIAL OF RIOT CASE (Oxford Ledger) News coming from Roxboro indicates that state and county officials who have been investigating the riot of civilians in an effort to lynch Cy Winstead, negro, * jr the alleged rape of a white woman, wil! reveal the names of those taking part in the riot and possibly submit their names for warrants, and subsequently for prose cution. For sometime now State Bureau of In vestigation detectives have been investi gating the activities of the mob, but so far have refused to reveal the names of the Roxboro defendants who took part in the affair. We know not those who took peirt in the ’hameful disturbance, but we do believe ^hat those taking part should be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The time has long been in this democ racy when a man arre.sted and accused of a crime gets his just dues in the court room, when and after he has been convict ed by a impartial jury of twelve. Certair ly it is democratic when a man, arrested for a crime but not duly convicted “be yond a shadow of a doubt,” has the right of a free people to defend himself in a court set us for just a purpose. \ (’trssi.v srB.jK T Ciissin’ not pernii.ssable in print, we’ll just resort to calling certain people fifth columnists. The certain people include any and all who charge soldiers high er prices than civilians. Army of ficers have reported that in cer tain maneuver areas and nearby towns and villages cafe operators ::nd others have been charging soldiers higher prices than to others. We wish it were in our power to send every one of the grafting profiteers to Germany and Italy where they would have to live under the heels of Hitler and Mussolini.

"Irhe sure way to gauge their mettle and their inmost goodness is to plump them squarely into the stiffest task your imagination can supply.
