MONDAY, AUG. 9, 1943 Must Have Airport Capt. Richard Johnstoi. Friday evening told the North Wilkesboro Lions Club to get to work for an airport for North Wilkesboro. Capt. Johnston, who had never dream ed three years ago that he would be a fly er, told the club that air travel will be the mode of travel and transportation after the war. And towns that do not have an airport will find themselves off the map. He suggested that inquiries be made at once as to the possibility of federal aid for construction of an airport. Readers of these columns will lemember that we have brought this subject before the people with the same kind of argu ment. But now we have the word of a man who has seen much of the world during the past year. We can and should have the utmost respect for Capt. Johnston’s judg ment when he says that towns without air ports will be off the map. After the war planes will be used for rapid transportation of products to market as well as for passenger travel. We don’t want to be left out in the cold ih fraltis^ftItto^’l)ro^sS. " And in order that we may not be on the outside looking in we must get an airport. —: V Ten Minutes Before Midnight Charles T. Lucey, staff writer for the New York Telegram, in describing a ride in a cab of a transcontinental freight lo comotive has painted in words a picture of war-time railroading that hits the imag ination with thundering power. “It was 10 minutes short of midnight when the arc of the brakeman’s lantern, a curving pin point of a light more than a half-mile back, gave the highball signal . . . Slowly the throttle eased back. Thousands of horse- pov.’er throbbed in steel casings. “With a barely perceptible start, 7.- 000,000 pounds of war cargo was rolling. The moon was brilliantly full . . . The big train picked its way through a labyrinth of switches like an elephant walking a tightrope . . . “To the men in the engine cab, there was nothing dramatic about it. The man at the throttle lighted a cigar; his fireman looked back over the crawling train. Here was stuff that in a few days would be feeding into Pacific Coast airplane plant* and shipyards, and a little later headed ou* acro.ss the ocean to American men waiting for the weapons of war. “Eight miles out and the lights of the first opposing train showed . . . .still miles from wheVe we were. In a couple of min utes- the engines were racing toward each other—on the same track, it .seems. The tearchlight came straight at us, a giant tracer bullet in the night. The engineer’s face was set, and none in the cab spoke. Just as it seemed sure to meet us, it roar ed past on another track.” ' More than a hundred miles later the steel monster came to rest for a moment and the dazed observer climbed down to record an experience that few people will ever enjoy. He had seen a single tiain with millions of pounds of priceless war materials snaked through mile-and-a-half high passes. He had witnessed the expert touch of the engineer’s hand on throttle -and brake that nursed those millions of pounds -up and down long punishing ^adeS where a miscalculation m speed will ever ride in the cab of - Iftcifeotive. the word pieture of the Jkda*^ work, recorded pi 'The' coal .until next Octbhi&i'^l^ proviso that, . restain lihder S..r.PRf.r Ism in the'eoai^idust^^ermPf gotiationsi ia' prrferal^ tq Uie bargaining processes between employer and employe "inherent under' the AmeHcan system of free enterprise. ' j ^ Commenting on such “arrangemente, the Saturday Evening Post observes: HJp to now, the only means'of Enforcement con sidered available when a strike menaces war production, is to seize the factory or the mine in which a strike is threatened. In' other words, we meet the situation, not by punishing the individual who refused to arbitrate or negotiate and ordered the strike, but by taking over the,property of his employer who may have obeyed all ‘directives’, agreed to every proposal to ne gotiate and conduct himself in a general ly responsible manner. The result, if logic guided all such transactions, would be that the communists, who want the government to seize industry, could attain their heart s desire simply by fomenting enough strikes!” Blame, for interrupted coal production rests on the Federal government. Until onesided legislation such as the Wagner Act is corrected, giving both employer and employe equal rights; until the present ad ministration abandons, expediency and favoritism in labor matters; until top offi cials in the Federal government stop put ting po’litical careers ahead of country, in justice and the trend toward socialism will continue. And as socialism broadens its grip, labor unions march toward oblivion, as in dictator nations where state social ism has displaced both labor unions and private enterprise. The miners are play ing with fire when they promote destruc tion of ownership and opevation of pri vate enterprise. V by one man ,lw. railrwim*. * LIFE’S BETTER WAY • WALTER E. ISENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. IaZTNESs ^ Laziness is not godliness. People who profess Christianity, and really have the blessing, are up and doing. They are ac tive, prayerful, wide-awake, studious, working people. When I see those who say they are following Christ, and that He is their Savior, sanctifier and keeper, who are trifling, lazy, and sometimes dirty and nasty, I know there is something tremen dously wrong in their lives, and a deep need of Holy Ghost sa-lvation. God never ^aves men for them to become drones. If they are drones when He saves them from their sins, they are likewise saved from laziness. Lazy Chri.stians? Just about as well look for truthful liars and honest rogues God .saves men from lazine.ss just a.s He saves them from lying, drinking, cheating, cursing, committing adultry, etc. Chri.s- tianity and laziness don’t go together. Laziness belongs to sin and the devil. When men say they are Chri.stians and are too lazy to go to church and Sunday .school on Sunday morning, but lie around all day and neglect the assemblying of them.selves with the people of God, I know they are lackin.g in their .souls. And when men profess to be Christians and are too lazy to build churches and parsonages; and too .stingy to support the Go.spel, and to send missionaries forth throughout the earth to win souls to Chri.st, and enlighten heathen, but let churches rot down Bj NICHOLS W^ii^oq;—-0^{>ite *1^ re»>rd- rwe, i 'tinitftd States deeUneA l3,- _ ,[Mj SetweeatAprfl the said. - '■’c«lfv.lr^hiiK>i|^es sfionld be- m I ppii&da' pots^oes fw bgsal ta-a [ IktmlaM’tki iteiR otfa^ . ^ feii8j|-:.ot:eith«r..«9lSpaai»a, ^ p^ttt aeal. f>Be‘ateo oot that the nlaeral ^ beforeYhe’^i edUiQ oj fq»|.^js;raphf£si "Jreas, onlyThe a galh dur ing the 35-month.'jiri^, althoagh j I Northeaetem, north central and umn 18 coming- to you dow aonthern states lost iiSoia! .hsrT^ked’hefort^^iufd' hoca- and ;^ttoiti’dlth the of the ration h^iiil the aanaf'l^miii, pro tein BOppIenient. .'nd mineral mix ture.

SOLVE THIS PROBLEM— As you very well know, this col umn has a capacity of twelve readers. Thai is aTl we can write for. When and if this number gets over 12, we have to shoot the ex tras to get the number back down to the limited capacity. And as we have stated before, the readers will be shot in 1-2-3 order. The first reader is the writer, the second the linotype op erator. the third She- proorreader, ard on dotro the line through the faithful 12. But we had a new and perplex ing problem. Yesterday a man said: “You now have 121^ read ers . . . what are you going to do almut that?” ^ Only thing we know to do is ii have one of the readers half shot.
