MONDAY JULY 9, 1945 \®, WAR LOAN Preventable D seases Dr. A. J. Eller, Wilkes- county health officer, has repeate 31y urged Wilkes peo ple to be vaccinated. Yet there remain some who disregards all warnings and who fail or refuse to be immunized. The record clearlV shows that typhoid, diphtheria and smallpox are preventable by vaccination. Surey there are none now who can argue that noint. And the State of’ North Carolina has passed laws which make in mandatory that children be imirunized against these diseases. Teachers an required by law to refuse to allow a child to attend school who has not been va( cinated. Any parent who f lils to have his chil dren vaccinated coul I not help but feel a sense of guilt should the children take the disease. Vaccinations are administered without charge at t le county health of fice, thus eliminatirg every excuse for failure to have child 'en vaccinated. Farmers and Prices Judging by the waj OPA has been treat ing prices farmers r( ceive, one would be led to believe that all the inflation there is is due to increased prices for products sold by the farmer, According to the j)PA, it is a terrible crime for a farmer to get more than a stip ulated figure for his chickens, but there is nothing wrong wit i his feed costs soar ing out of prpportioi. _ Men wear shirts, £ nd men don’t have to have any figures frc n Washington to tell them that shirts cos s twice the price be fore the war. If a $1. )0 shirt then costs $2.- 00 now, that is all r ght in the eyes of the OPA. ■'* But the fact rema ins that for the cotton which goes into the shirt, the farmer who grew it gets only 1 hree cents more than he did before the v ar. The other 97 cente on the increase is tot inflationary, but it would be disastrou for the farmer to pt more than three ce nts increase, according to the powers that be. With more pouH ry going through black market than otherv ise, OPA LOWERS the ceiling price on p ultry, offering further temptation to a i oultryman to look out for himself by way of the black market prices. * . , It is inflationarj for a f^er to receive more than a starv ition price for his milk, BO the govemmeni steps in with subsidies, which will cost he American people a least two dollars for each dollar paid the milk producers. , . „ Will somebody pleawe explam all this -without passing tl e ^ck? ciAund Recon waVdra vs toward ite final stage, clear thinking is ^ have fought for, r against, are not lost in The m^ impoitant development since V-E Day is the announced policy War ProduiytionBoard, asthe report of Chairman Krug. It sets fom the prinpiples that will govern the decisions of the .WPB during the reconversion period, and-stands out as a document of history- Making importance. It affirms faith in free enterprise. It rejects the idea that govera- ment planning,* in the sense of control by blue print, can be as effective or lead to as desirable ends as private planning • * • takes its stand on the simple ground that government regulation, administration and eontool would impede and slow up the re conversion process and diminish produc tion and employment. The keynote is the declaration that is necessary to get rid o regulations and production limitations as quickly as possible. They automatically put ceilings on initiative, imagination, and resourcefulness, the very qualities the country will need most if we are to have a. resilient and rapidly expanding economy after the defeat of Japan. ^ “As the cutbacks increase,” say’s Mr. Krug, “some areas are bound to experience unemployment... In many areas, time vdll solve such dislocations—as peacetime in dustries start up and hire workers; but in some areas, special measures taken to ma'intain employment would merely post pone the eventual day of reckoning as for 'instance a war boom town which is greatly expanded because of a particular war plant with little or no postwar future. We must prepare to meet such emergen cies when they are real; but we must also be prepared to resist the pressure when they would only delay necessary readjust ments.” Mr. Krug’s position is eminently sound, Business and labor both can take heart from his statesmanlike utterances. As be tween efforts to shelter people from ines capable readjustments, and policies rely ing upon government economy and indi dual enterprise to establish the benefit of some people or communities are at the ex pense of others, while policies designed for the general benefit help all go forward together. t LIFE’S BETTER WAY • WALTER E. ISENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. ENRAPTURED. I fell enraptured when I love The good in ev’rything; And as a peaceful, harmless dove My spirit then can sing. Although I do not speak a word The song is in my heart; The music, though it be unheard. Is felt in ev’ry part. I feel enraptured when I live For all that’s clean and right; And when the best I have I give And walk in Heaven’s light; Then feel as each day passes on And when this earthly life is gone I have the sweetest peace, My joy shall never cease. I feel enraptured when I speak The kindest word I knew, And when the best I humbly seek Wherever I may go,— The best that God has stored away For those who do His will. Who walk the blessed narrow way That leads up Zion’s hill. I feel enraptured when I pray. And when my faith mounts up, And as I labor, day by day. To fill another’s-cup With peace and joy and love and grace. Instead of gloom and doubt. And help him nobly fill his place And in his race win out. ’ I feel enraptured just to find That I am living straight; That in my heart and soul and mind There’s something^ that is great,— Yes, great because it is of God And shall not pass away. And-helps my fellow-pilgrims trod The road to endless day. I feel enraptured when I do Some deed to bless a* soal; , To help some pilgrim make it through To Heaven’s shining goal, Where we shall live forever there In bliss and holy joy. Where Heaven's glories shine so fair And nothing can annoy. Hdp Fight Wth Bind QoHars By DWIGHT NIGHOIB fflWATJ.

It was an o-'-al-shaped piece of covered pastry, about 18 Inches long and six Inches wide. “What Is it?” her husband in quired. “Why, darling, can’t yau see? —it’s a pie.” “Rather long for a pie, isn’t it?" "Of course not, silly. It’s rhu barb." NOT HYPOCRITICAL— “So you were late to school, Bessie?” “Yes, mamma.” “Why didn’t you run, dear?” "Because you told me never to deceive, Mamma.” “But how would that deceive, my child?” "It might give some one who saw me running an Idea I was anxious to get there, and I wasn’t."

Workers Decline In State Raleigh, July 6.—The number of women production workers In North Carolina manufacturing de creased from 44.3 per cent In April to 44.2 per cent In May, the state labor department reported today after a survey. The survey showed 1,258 firms employed 237,134 workers in May, of which 104,726 were wo men. Labor Commissioner Forrest iShuford, outlining the part wo men are playing In the state’s war production program, gave these figures based on the recent sur vey: Of the total of 82,514 Indue- trlal workers employed in 220 plants in the eastern or coastal area, 8,780 or 27.0 per cent were women. The percentage In April was 26.5. In the Piedmont section of the state, 880 plants reported employ- .•ng 177,193 production workers, 85,045—or 48.0 per cent—of whom were women.

" Feeifl B^ter' Now ’Than In Tears. ‘ . “After the WMiderfuj relief He- tonga gave me I would feel selfish not to pass the grood word on to others”, gratefully declares Mrs. Mary I«la Lawrence, well-known practical nurse of 4600 11th Ave., North Birmingham, Ala. Discuss ing her case she happily stated: It seemed to me that every bite 1 ate disagreed -with me and caused gas in my stomach until I could harBy breathe. I tossed and tumbled all night and felt as worn out moilungs as if I had done a hard day’s work. My appetite dwindled away, my weight went down to only a hundred and twelve pounds, and I felt terribly nervous and weak. I -was forced to depend on laxatives for elimin ation, and I had about lost faith in all medicines. “The relief Retonga gave me seems astonishing. All that ter rible distress from gas and indi gestion is relieved and I eat, sleep MRS. MARY L. LAWRENCE and feel like a different person. I have regained several pounds, my nerves seem strong, and I no longer have to take harsh laxa tives. I feel better than in years. Retonga is the best investment I ever made.” Retonga is Tntendea to reU^^ distress due to Vitamin B- cieney, constipattom insufficient flow of digestive jui^ in the sto mach, and loss n appetite.
