THURSDAY, MAR. 2S, 1943 Manpower Muddle Threat of a food shortage before the next year ends has caused much hasty or dering from Washington. With so many men from rural areas m the service, and others leaving farms for lucrative wages in war plants, the nation has belatedly become alarmed over the prospects of producing the amount of food necessary this year for our armies, for fighting men of our allies and for the civilian population of our own country. Back in the early days of Selective Ser vice many farm boys were drafted into the service. In some localities there were charges that the lists of inducted men looked like the “farm census," because town and city boys were getting easy de ferments. Now much of the farm labor has gone. The situation has become next to des perate, and regulations have been drasti cally changed. Selective Service boards have been ordered not to induct a man who is farming to a certain, specified ex tent, or who is going to do so this year. This has given an opportunity for town people with previous farm experience to go back to a farm and stay out of t'-e fighting. Naturally, the feeling ia..».ot,.8Q «ood among relatives of those who had been drafted previously. But the nation and our allies must have food, and there is no question about the matter of the necessity of farmers keeping on farming. What thinking people are wondering is why the present situation could not have been forseen a year ago and a policy .set up then to govern the farm manpower sit uation as it is related to the armed forces. Farmers who remain on farms to pro duce food should not have to be persecuted as “draft dodgers.” But the policy of al lowing deferment to a person who goes to farming after being out of agriculture tV several years is going to be the cau.se of much unpleasant talk. A person who works hard to produce food is doing a patriotic duty of major im portance. Without food otherwise mighty armies are helple.ss. V Match This Record mination to maintain for our? and the people at home the higheet mMi- cal standards in the world—not for this year, or next year, but for every year. .V T Conform To Nature's and Live Man lost his longevity through disobe dience to the divine law and only througn conformity to nature’s law can that longe vity be regained. Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, president of the State and Provincial Health Authorities of North America, de- * dared in his annual address before that body in Washington. He pointed out that in the beginning according to the Bible, man lived hundreds of years; that, because of sin, he was put on his own and that when the Ninetieth Psalm was written the span of human ex pectation had been reduced to “three score years and ten"—or 70—^years. In cluded in this period, he pointed out, was the destruction of the world by the flood, when God spared Noah, his family and specimens of animal life for future pro pagation. But man is on the upward climb. Dr. Reynolds said, reminding his hearers that since 1850 the span of human expectation at birth in the United States has been in creased from 38 to nearly 64 years, or to within six years of what it was when the Ninetieth Psalm was written. By conforming to the laws of nature, he said, therfe is no reason why the human race should not continue to regain its lost longevity. Preventive and curative medi cine, which include and are aided by mod ern science, offer the way, he emphasized —^the way of escape from the curse that was imposed when Eve was tempted by and yielded to the serpent in the garden, which he termed the first dictator. "The serpent in the garden today,” he said, “is exemplified by those forces of evil impersonated by Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito, the Nazi and Fascist philosophies of life, as opposed to the higher concepts. These spiritless devils,” he continued, “rep resent all that is evil in the world and our mission is to make them crawl on their bel lies and trample them underfoot.” Humanity can be rehabilitated and is being rehabilitated by the proper use of forces at its command, D^-. Reynolds said. But, he added, it must throw off ignorance and utilize those forces and materials which are available. By doing this, hu manity can give an affirmative answer to the question, “Am I my brother’s keeper?" and can back up that answer by its con structive efforts Bom UfU4. vice, i'of fo^iirhifonastton call at XBplojrraent Of fice, over tb^^Onlce i'ower Co.

Abnormal Absurdities By DWIGHT NICHOLS, et aL SOOTC7H REPORT Macdonald was a leader of the kirk. His increasing redness of nose I very much alarmed his brother elders, end a delegation waited on him to inquire the rea son for the increasing color. Mac donald explained thus: ‘‘It Is glowing wl’ pride at never putting itself in anybody else’s business.” More than 28,000 phy.sicians volunteer ed their services without pay to the Selec tive Service boards. More than 40,000 physicians gave up their careers in civilian practice to serve with the armed forces, four of these being from North Wilkes- boro. The directing board of the Procure- ment and Assignment Service for Physi cians, and its many representatives throughout the nation, serve without one cent of remuneration., The hundreds of physicians on the consultant committee of the Division of Medical Research Council, and in the Office of Research and Develop ment, contribute time and income without one cent of remuneration. Throughout the nation, thousands of doctors furnish countless services in connection with civi lian defense, without one cent of remun eration. It would be interesting to know what other trade or profession can match this record of public service. And yet proposals are made to throw American medicine into the political arena, and level it off to the standards prevailing in Europe countries where experiments in socialized medicine have utterly failed to produce the health records and btmefits to the general public which are the rule rath er than the exception in the United States. Fortunately for the people of this country, gjch efforts seem to have failed. American medicine is marching ahead unselHshly and scientifically in its deter- High Flight John G.

V Now we know what lawyers mean by “the bulk of the estate.” A New Jersey woman bequeathed her automobile tires to her son.” V We got 14,995 Japs out of a possible 15,000 on the way to New Guinea, and now we look for some pre-Pearl Harbor is olationist to demand a congressional inves tigation on why we let five get away.— Greensboro Daily News.

Pat wrote at the beginning of his next letter: ‘‘Bridget, please don’t dig the garden; thrt’.s where the guns are.” The letter was duly censored and in a short time a lorry-load of men in khaki arriv ed at Pat’.s house and dug up the garden, from end to end. Bridget wrote to Pat in desperation, say- ,ing that she didn’t know what to do as the soldiers had got the garden dug up, every bit of it. Bat’s reply was short and to the PQi*t: .-Put bMJta spu,d8.” . . HE GOT THE JOB A Carolina farm boy walked in to the recruiting office and said he wanted to join the Navy. An offical asked him: ‘‘What are your qualifications?" "What?” the young man asked. “Are you a mechanic, plum'her. radio operator, machinist, or just what do you want to do?’’ ‘‘Do you have any place for a good fighter?’’ the fellow asked. (P. S. He's now in the Navy.) LO.ST HIS HEAD Once while campaigning in the home state of his opponent. Wil liam Howard Taft found his speech constantly interrupted by heckling from the gallery.

I see that one of my adversaries has lost his head." M ARBI AGE WILL >IT Upon boarding the train, Mr. uiid .Mrs. Newlywed tipped the porter generously to keep their marriage a secret. The next morning, noticing the many knowingly looks cast in their direction, the angry groom called the porter to task for his treachery. “Lan’ .sakea, boss!” said the porter. ‘‘When dey all asked me ^ if yo’all was jest married, I sed. .
