Post War Planning
P. W. Eshelman has been named to head
the post war planning activity in Wilkes
county.
The Post War Planning committee is
headed by Paul G. Hoffman, president of
Studebaker corporation, and the purpose
of the organization is to plan ways and
means of providing jobs when the war
ends. Robert M. Hanes, of Winston-Sa
lem, is North Carolina chairman.
Business men and many others realiV.e
that industry must provide jobs after the
war or the trend toward socialism will
gain instead of being crushed. ,
People must have jobs, means of earn
ing a living, and it is up to industry or gov
ernment to provide those jobs.
Those of us who believe in the American
way insist that jobs whenever possible
should be provided by private enterprise
instead of government.
When the government plays Santa Claus
too much, the people not only lose their
initiative but they lose their freedom little
by little until they find themselves living
according to the dictates of the hand that
feeds them.
The mo.st important job is winning the
war, but in the meantime there should be
some sound plans about the economic well
being of the nation when the global con
flict ends and millions of men now in ser
vice return to their jobs.

Vaccinations
Only a few decades ago .smallpox took
thousand.s of lives each year in the United
States.
It has been a long time since any of your
neighbors died of smallpdx.
But the absence of the di.sease did not.
just come about. It was brought about
by medical science providing a preventa
tive vaccine and by administering that vac
cine to the people.
Yet there remains today people who re-
fu.se to be vaccinated and refuse to allow
their children to be vaccinated.
The same applies to typhoid and diph
theria.
Now the county board of health ha.s
ruled that the law compelling vaccination
against smallpox before entering school be
enforced in Wilkes county.
If leaving off smallpox vaccinations was
a general policy in.stead of e.xception to
the rule, the dreaded disease would return
to kill and scar the people of our country.
It is essential that stubborn people who
refuse to accept a known and tried preven
tative be ma4e to do what is best for them
selves, their families, their friends, neigh
bors and all the rest of the population.
The law also states that babies be im
munized against diphtheria when they
reach the age of six months.
If your child dies of diphtheria and has
not been immunized, how can you help but
feel that you were in part responsible for
the baby’s death?

Borrowed Comment
WHEN THE BOYS COME
MARCHING HOME
(Oxford Public Ledger)
There is much of altruism based u^on
sound thinking in the proposals revealed
by President Roosevelt for post-war «con-
sideration of those in service.
There is no doubt but that many of those
now in uniform are already concerned
with their post-war employment or with
plans for “picking up” where they left off
in their educational efforts or other en
deavors.
In making preliminary announcement of
studies now being made, the President
said six points are under consideration, but
he emphasized that in final analysis, Con
gress- will determine the measure of con
sideration that service men are accorded
at mustering out and immediately there
after.
The man who goes through present-day
military training gains in self-reliance and
independence. He learns to do things for
himself and he does them. The lesson is
one he will bring back into civilian life at
the end of the war. The service man of
today has no intention of asking special
favors, but his Government is obligated to
him and must be the agency through which
he is enabled to get a toe-hold toward re
gaining his position in civilian activities.
As the President emphasized, the plan
as it is now being formulated is for th(;
purpose of avoiding a “hasty, inefficient
and ill-considered job at the last moment.”
LIFE’S BETTER WAY
WALTER E. ISENHOUR,.
Hiddenite, N. C.
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING
Perhaps the great majority of mankind
want something for nothing. This is ac
cording to the natural tendency of the
heart apart from God. However, this is
not right, especially when it comes to
things of great worth and real value. We
.should realize that everything worth while
costs something, and we should have prin
cipal enough to give sufficient for values
received.
Manj" people want a living, but are not
willing to earn it. They know it co.sts
others to feed and clothe them, and to
meet their expenses in various ways, but
they are willing that it shall be done while
they fail to give of their time and labor
sufficiently to earn it. No doubt tens of
thousands of people are living off the gov
ernment, or off of charity, many of whom
are plenty able to work and make their
own way. It is not right. Somebody has
to labor and toil for the food they eat and
the raiment they wear, therefore it isn’t
right for them to idle their time away and
depend upon others making their living
for them. It is true there are tho.se who
are too disabled to work) therefore .some
body has to work for them. Again there
are those who are honest and willing to
work, and want work, who sometimes get
out of a job and need help. However, they
do not want a living for nothing. It is not
their principal. When they can get worjc
they go to it willingly and gladly. This is
as it ought to be.
It means a great deal in life to carry
fair with everybody. This hurts no one. It
puts no extra burden upon others. Whev
we lift and carry your parfiJTiife’s load,
and not try to shift it upon others, wd
have a clear conscience in that respect.
God blesses those who treat their fellows
right.
No doubt many a strong ' young man
idles much of his time away and lets his
dear old father labor and toil and make
his living for him. Also many a ybung girl
who is well able to work lets her mother
toil for her, while she lays in the, bed un
til a late hour of the day, then: gets up.
eats and dresses and Jdunges about, p’
gads around. This certainlj^ Isn’t right
No youths can make a success of life y?hc
depends upon theip parents feeding and
clothing them while they idle and lounge
about, or gad around for a “good, time.”
Life’a better^ way ia to carry fair heune
and everywhere else. ■
