THURSDAY, SEPT. 30, 1943 15 BILLION DOLLARS (Non-banking quota) Thanks, Tom—Very Much! The lead of Tom Bost’s column. “Among Us Tar Heels”, in Monday’s Greensboro Daily News, had this comment about The Journal-Patriot (Semi-Weekly): “By way of the Journal-Patriot of North Wilkesboro, which is the best looking, most metropolitan displayed weekly seen in these capital parts in years, it is learned that the Lentz-Scott case, involving a state highway patrolman and an agent of the SBI, cost Wilkes $1,152.97. “The Journal-Patriot not only looks good; it is good. A lively paper it is from first column, first page, to the seventh and last column on page eight.” The above is greatly appreciated, es pecially when it comes trom one of North Carolina’s ablest and most versatile news paper men, and even more appreciated when Mr. Post ranks with the he.>^t not on ly as a news writer and coli; ..iu. t. .».,t as an authority on history, ana me greatest book in the world—the Bible. ave Electricity Public Utilities companies depend upon e sale of their commodities and services the public for their existence. During normal times the utilities wisely d aptly placed advertisements urging the blic to make liberal use of electricity in eir homes and places of business. Now the electricity is needed to make iterials with which to defeat the enemy. The manner in which the Duke Power mpany is unselfishly supporting the )vement to conserve electricity is very pressive. The Duke Power company is w spending advertising money to ask the mpany’s customers to conserve elec- , this‘effort the company is reproduc- the following letter of J. A. King, di- ;or of the office of War Utilities as af- ited with the War Production Board, ch is addressed to public utilities com ics and their customers: The War Production Board has pro- med that maximum war production re- res the greatest possible conservation manpower, transportation, fuel, equip- it, and critical material such as copper, ,1 ’ tungsten and many others — much ater than has been heretofore accom- hed. It believes that this greater conser- ion can be accomplished by the volun- . cooperation of all citizens of our coun- in the effort. It has called for the in- „tion of a program to effect savings on home fronts by the Office of Defense Lportation, «nd Petroleum Admims- War, the Solid Fuel Adminis- Za for War, the Office of War Utilities, clher governmental agencies. These hive been developing the details JS^fljiiittrvaiion program. ppt. industry and agency is ^ «rtini?Ing to carry the « P War Production Board to they, in turn, to their customers fullest conservation may be obtained. This is a definite challenge to each opera^ unit and each individual in the electric utilities industry to do his or her share m backing up our fighting forces. We can not exert maximum force against our ene mies if waste on the home front is tolerat- ed. . “In the electric utility industry, the in stalled generating capacity, together with capacity now under construction, is ample to meet all forseeable electric needs. But. it is essential to save the use of electricity wherever possible .-?o as to reduce directly or indirectly, the 'demand for materials, fuel, transportation, and manpower. “The Office of War Utilities, in consul tation with representatives of the electric utility industry, both public and private, has developed a comprehensive program to achieve the objectives of the War Pro duction Board within that industry. NOTICE W dwii^t NICHOLS et al “The desired result will be obtained through the full cooperation of millions of people in the conservation program. With everyone contributing, the effect will be tremendous in hastening the day of Vic tory”. -V Cost and Ceilings Many have been the complaints hurled at OPA on price fixing, and some of the complaints seem to be well justified. Farmers now are wondering how they are going to come out on some certain items with feed prices going up, labor go ing up and becoming harder to obtain. One dairy farmer was heard to remark this week that it was difficult for him to m'ake ends meet if his cost kept going up and up. What he cannot understand is why what he must buy can be so high while the ceiling on what he has to sell remains the same. OPA in needs a great shake-up, or perhaps a shake-down. There are so many inequalities that are easy to see, and the layman is made to wonder why the OPA bigherups cannot see them. V Let’s Call a Spade—a Spade Unles.s Congress votes otherwise, the So cial Security tax will automatically be doubled from one to two per cent this year. And, if some Washington planners have their way, it may even be increased to five per cent. This money might and probably would be used for the war, which means that afterward we would be paying all over again to make up the difference. No American wants to get out of paying his .share of the war cost. But let’s call it that and not try to delude ourselves by tricks of bookkeeping. Americans are sufficiently adult to be able to know where their money is going and why. Borrowed Comment TWO OFFICERS CLEARED (Oxfo d Public Ledger) The work of the enforcement officer calls for alertness, skill and tact. Those engaged in this work are not immune to criticism and even charges of violations of the law. During the past week, two officers em ployed by the State of North Carolina, one with the Highway Patrol and another with the State Bureau of Investigation, were cleared in Superior Court of Wilkes coun ty, of charges that they made away’with a quantity of whisky seized in a raid in Wilkes. Governor Broughton, aware of the se riousness of the charges and of the reflec tion cast upon the agencies of which the two officers are a part, promptly ordered a special term of court in Wilkes for trial of charges against the two officers. With Judge R. Hunt Parker on the bench as the presiding judge, that special term of court was convened, indictments returned by the grand jury and the defendants brought to trial have on any occasion or for any reason ob served Judge Parker at work on the bench are aware of the thorough manner in which he applies the law in measuring the evi dence and in considering the verdicts re turned by the jury. Judge Parker held that the State of North Carolina failed to prove the guilt of the tv^o officers, and under the law, they must be presumed to be innocent of the charges. It is well that the case has been tried, and the shadow of doubt eliminated b.v action of the court. The State should as sume all expense to which the two officers were put as a result of the trial. Prompt disposition of the case should be a source of courage to enforcement officers in go ing about their duties conscientiously and without fear or favor. , Gospel singers in Wilkes coun ty are invited, to take part in the ^ f ■ .

'■ ROBERT TAYLOR WRITER-- Robert Taylor, not the one of, Hollywood fame, bat the Robert Taylor who used to drill mathe matics into the head# of high school students in North Wilkes- boro, is doing the same thing for soldiers at the Greenville, S. C., air base. Sgt. Bob writes tin interesting Thtter, which we quote as follows: “Dear Dwight: ' "I have 30 Intentions of trying to'convince you that I read AB NORMAL ABSURDITIES {>eoause you would have something to hap pen to me in order to keep the readers down to the prescribed number. At least I do not know that such a column exists. “The main purpose of this note is to get by address changed from .'142nd Base Hq.—AB Squardon, GAAB, Greenville, S. C., to 100 Augusta Court, Greenville, S. C. Such a change will enable me to get my JOURNAL-PATRIOT a day elarlier part of the time and a few hours earlier all of the time. I realize that someone else is responsible for making the above change, but I am sure that you won't mind passing the reque.st on to the proper person. ‘The army has been pretty good to me so far. Since I had taught school so long, they give me a similar assignment — as suming that I could do nothin.g else I suppose. I am a Link Trainer Instructor and it seems that all such men will fight the battles of GAAB and other bases of this type. A few of the trainers are being set up ‘over there’, but I imagine that the majority of such training will be confined to the U. S. "It is cerluinly good to have Capt. Johnston back in this coun try. I think your paper did a nice job in the articles about him. “Sincerely, “BOB TAYLOR” .TU.ST rHATTKR— Once a woman called trying to sell us some eggs. We asked in ;i fresh manner if the eggs were fr^Ji. "These eggs are so fresh that if the hens had not . been looking at the wrong month on the calendiir they would not have laid them until tomorrow”, she said. We bought ’em. Sometimes you buy eggs and don't know' whether you are get-_ ting eggs, or baby chicks, or the in-between state. Some of the ceiling prices ar.'; so high they floor us. Once in a restaurant we com plained to the waiter that the chicken was too hard. She said it ouglit to Ive hurd, that it was a Plymouth Rock. The man left holding the bag was the one who was killed 1)> lightning while milking. MKRRY-GO-ROUXD— ' This is said to be a true story. A Minneapolis ludy—Mrs. Frank J. Bouiger - has a daughter nam ed Catherine who works for the government at the nation’s capi tal. Mother Bougler wrote to her daughter to Inquire just what kind of work the latter was doing to aid in the war effort. And this is daughter Oatherine’s reply: "I work in the data-analysls group of the aptitude-test sub unit of the worker analysis sec tion of the division of occupa-' tional analysis and manning tables of the bureau of labor utilization of the war manpow er commission.” Well, the girl seems to know exactly what her duties are, which is saying a lot for anbody working in Washington these days. But stiU—come to think of it—what the heck IS she doing there? V- By J. B. A«e3«f>. , There ‘-.will. ha,.» Querosey sale on.
