THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1943 Government—By the People No reasonable person will object to gov ernment controls during the emergency. The American public has accepted the dic tates of Washington as they have been handed down, willingly and cooperatively. But nowhere in America are the words “directives,” “orders,” and “controls” pop ular. War words possibly. Peacetime words in this country—never! Under tje present tightening manpower controls a man is told what he may earn, whether or not be can have a raise, what he can eat, how much he can charge for what he sells, what materials he can have, whether he is to go into the military service or not, whether he is necessary or unnece.s- sary, whether his business is essential or nonessential. As a result of many Washington con trols, millions of people in this country are now in a quandary over their rapidly diminishing rights. Bom and reared in freedom, America resents the possibility that a controlled economy may persist, for some indications have pointed to a contin uation of such a condition after the emer gency has past. Let us never forget for a moment that this is a democracy, that the Government of the United States, the State govern ments,’'driff the local ‘governmental bodies are servants of the people and not their masters. The American people will sub mit to controls during an emergency but they will never “goose .step” to any tune nor w’ill they ever “heil” any dictator. When war threatens and national unity is paramount in defense against a common enemy, the American people will go over the top, all-out, willingly, enthusiastically. But with victory behind them they will re turn to their homes, their farm.s, and their jobs as free men with the knowledge that' their government is by the people and for the people.

Outstanding Achievement Americans have good cause to be proud of their industry. In two years a tremen dous job of conversion has been accom plished and a powerful war machine has been built up. Only recently the President revealed that the aircraft industry plans to exceed this year’s enormous aircraft production schedule by more than 55 per cent next year; and that our current production rate is greater than that of all the other nations of the world combiijed. According to War Production Chief Nelson, the 1943 muni tions goals will be fully achieved, and in .gome instances, exceeded by a comforta- .ble margin. Speaking before the Senate Military Af fairs Subcommittee Malcom Muir, chair man of the war committee of the national association of manufacturers said: “I only wish the public could know more of this wonderful production record— “Of how many bombs we have stored to drop on German, Italian, and Japanese soil ... “Of how many extra shells we have stored for our heavier guns . . . “Of how, as disclosed by the Under Sec retary of the Navy, 40,000,000 20-mm. an ti-aircraft .shells, or more than 1,000 for «very minute of the day, were loaded for the Navy during February.” When historians came to view the war to date, along with the defense of Britain, the resistance of the Russians, and the amazing performance of our own fighting forces they will no doubt cite the produc tion achievements of American enterprise as one of the outstanding events of the conflict. Under the tme'ot'“'Wage the ReidsviUe Review carried the follow^ ing editorial comment: "The War'Labor Board* reports that ft has so handled wage increra.es that thrae have not appreciably affected the eost of living. . V “The Bulletin of the National A^ocia- tion of Purchasing Agents finds that aver age wages in all manufacturing industries rose from $23.10 im January, 1939 to $40.58 in January 1943., “Specifically, in that period the aver age wage in the automobile industry mounted from $31.59 to $55.85, or 77 per cent; in bituminous coal from $23.26 to $37.55, or 61 per cent; in textiles from $16.72 to $26.80, or 60 per cent. “Civilians no longer buy the products of automobile plants, so this rise is reflected only in taxes, present and future. Civilians buy little bituminous coal, but this is a cost factor in all manufactured articles. Civi- lions do buy textiles, and wages have much to do with cost. “It would be interesting to know how the WLB reached its conclusion tha^: it has kept wage raises from affecting material ly the cost of living. — V t- III" T Borrowed Comment “FOOD FOR FREEDOM” (Morganton News-Herald, Mey 14) The Journal-Patriot, published by D. J. Carter and Julius C. Hubbard at North Wilkesboro, issued last Thursday a big “Food for Freedom” edition which reflects credit on the enterprising publishers and their co-workers, the farm agencies of Wilkes county and the county itself. In 72 pages there is presented a graphic picture of the possibilities and prospects for this year in farming, dairying and fruit and poultry in the fertile “State of Wilkes.” The edition is profusely illustrated and was well patronized by local advertisers, whose messages take equal rank in interest with the many well written articles which are featured. , J., a- Hefewith our congratulations to all who had a hand in the big paper. V ^— ■ When Norway joined the Allies, the United Nations gained more than 1,000 Norwegian merchant ships, manned by some 25,000 experienced sailors. V By substituting paper-board boxes for those made of critical materials the fold ing box industry in 1942 saved 215 million pounds of critical metals, 8 million board feet of lumber, 750,000 pounds of glass, 220,000 pounds of cellophane, 36,000 pounds of pliofilm, and 12,000 pounds of rubber. LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E. ISENHOUR, Hiddenite, N. C. WHEN THE DEVIL GIVES YOU HONEY When the devil gives you honey. Don’t forget the bitter -gall, Though you think it's mighty funny As he rolls you pleasure’s ball—’ Gives you beer and wine and liquor. And the movies filled with lust. Making manhood’s light to flicker As your spirit trails the dust. When the devil gives you roses. Don’t forget the prickly thorn; For where sin and wrong reposes. Sighs and heartaches will be born; Yes, within the sweets of evil There are always bitter pills. And like some destructive weevil They will bring you many ills. Uatted States was producing fight- inr ■nntnir'*”* times as fast as Japan the As you go the way of pleasure Offered by the devil’s hand. Though you think you’ve found treasure That’s the sweetest of tHe land. Just remember sin’s mtsleac^ng; It will always bring remorse; Then while God and right are pleading. Seize what conscience can endorse. • When the devil gives you honey You may know it is a bait That will take you from ijie sunny To the dark domains of fate; Then resist the dreadful tempter Who would take you down to hell; Flee to Christ, the great Exempter, That in heaven you may dwell.

In the northern pert of VIHlkes, deep In the Blue Ridge country, a party of reveaue officers .were going along a trail one day and ran across a youth seated on e log. In his hands the young fellow had a 22-calibre rifle. “What are you going to do with that gun?”, one of the officers esked. The boy did not know to whom he was talking, so the story goes, and he wanted tot say something which sounded smart and would meet with approval of the visi tors. So, he said: “I’m going to shoot d—m revenoors.” At that instant one of the offi cers, the knid who should never have been trusted with a gun, started shooting at the boy and one shot took effect, striking the the boy in a leg. The boy was treated for his wound and recovered, but he was prosecuted In the courts and giv en two years in the pen. Later, his sister beard that the officer who did the shooting was killed in a poker game. She fairly shouted; “That’s one more in h—.” ‘North WBkesbon J-'DewyMr. Mablmrd: _ wik1it:hpiw-‘SfMan- o») I jwrtr i e6py of the btf^.78- a sploHdldleh. ■y - dld* a|^ me dlssy to thihk l»ro BOW dotsf » IHOq'.exttit ■ WT^hile - thej:' get. out ■ediyoB. ^ FroaLthe genenl ratwanhcq^M «elleke’”yoa 'madt b«Tq a lot iw’^^, a hew haps k new linotype. ‘♦Very Trnly Toprs, "HD F.

This is what he handed in: ’’Water is a light colored wet liquid that turns dark when you wash in it. If the water turns you red, it is too hot. If it turns you blue, it is too cold. If lt( turns you white, you need it." FIRST STEP HIGH— Two slightly intoxicated sol diers wandered into a hotel hold ing a soldiers’ dance. One asked the location of the check room where he might check his coat. He was told to take the first door to the right and go down three steps. Due to the lickerlogged condition of his brain, he got the elevator shaft by mistake and fell eight stories to the bottom. His friend watched his sudden departure, and leaning through the elevator shaft door called out: ^ “What are you doing down there?” . , Soldier at the bottom .of the shaft, after a pause — “Hanging up my coat. Look out for that first step; its an awful one.’’ AOMlNlSTRAtBlX’S Having qualified aa kdra^ tor o(f the estate oTW.
