MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1945. I- ■ CarMuie) ASSOC Retailers Penalized Retail merchants throughout the coun try are righteously complaining that they have been “caught in the squee2e” be cause of the OPA ceiling price policies on goods not returning to the markets. They said that the ceilings being set by the OPA do not allow them a profit over cost from manufacturers. It should be plain to the OPA and ev erybody else that ceiling prices will have to be based on costs, and the retailers’ ceil- ' ing will have to be based on what the man ufacturers charge him. The price must be held down all the way from the beginning of the process of manufacture to the con sumer’s hands. Otherwise the price con trol business will miserably fail, as it did in so many instances through the war. The biggest fault with ceiling price poli cies all along is that theorists have set the prices at what they thought the prices should be without due regard for the cost of production. In that process black mar kets were indirectly created. Poultry farmers did not want to volate regulations, but the ceiling prices allowed them less than ?50 profit per 1,000 broil ers, and not many can risk that much in vestment so" precariously on such a small margin. The great majority of the American peo ple will follow necessary regulations based on equity and justice through the post war emergency. However, the American people will not and should not stand for arbitrarj^ restrict ions any longer than is absolutely neces sary. V We Have No Choice The reasons the citizens of every nation should insist that world peace be estab lished on a sound foundation this time, is made evident by the casualty figures re leased by the British Commonwealth and Empire. And it is well to remember that the atomic bomb had not added its toll to the figures recorded. If Germany had been able to use it, London would have been a barren waste and New York, a city of sky scraper skeletons. . As it was, the total British casualties were 1,427,643 killed, wounded, missing or prisoner of war. These figures included 532,233 dead or missing. Civilian casual ties were 60,585 killed and 86,175 wound ed. It is no worse for a civilian to be killed or wounded in war than for a soldier- death'is as final for either. But-it brings war closer home to the people and impress es on them the fact that they are respon sible for government, its officials and its policies. They must take more interest in seeing that small cliques and groups of men are not permitted to endanger life and property to gratify personal greed and ambition. » x j • The agencies of destruction perfected in World War II, to turn loose on the world, indicate that if another war is permitted, it will be the civilian population that are wiped out. Therefore, it is up to the people themselves to prevent such a catastrophe. Plan to Can the Planners - " If the regulators who have had control of production and selling of such necessi- ties^as sugar, meat, milk products, clothing and commodities used by the average American family, are responsible for the shortages we are now experiencing, it is time the American people were given the fLcts, and let the chips fall where they planners of our sugar supply started their “coBteol” experiments in the thirties, and the result is economic dislocations - and serious shortages of this basic pK^^^ in every family and industry, in spite of siich a record under a planned economy, it has been proposed to bring all basic foods under world-wide centralized contro . Lawrence Sullivan, writing in the Na tion’s Business, asks the question: “Do^ world planning by committees and chansts produce adequate supplies, or do free mar kets call forth a more dependable abun^ ance?'' Under the planned sugar program of 1934, American beet sugar production was restricted and our needs allocated te various areas, including Cuba, Hawaii, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and scattered sources. After the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor, we lost enormous sugar production in the Philippines, Ha waii. and the Caribbean areas. But despite these losses, the planned restrictions on United States beet production were con tinued in full force and were not eased un til time for planting the 1945 beet sugar crop. Had acreage limitations been lifted when losses began, more United States sugar would have come to market by Octo ber, 1942. If we want things to eat and wear, and buy and sell, in the United States, it is time we demanded a free peacetime economy under which individuals can carry on with out the permission of professional plan ners. Otherwise, we may be eating sawdust another five years. Like government in ownership, a compulsory planned economy in peace will de.stroy a free America. WE UNDERSTAND. (The Charlotte Observer.) Soundly beaten, the Japs plan to escape their proper- punishment by deceit and trickery, swiftly changing to an appeal to Americans to understand the Japanese We understand them. It is like understanding murder, bestial ity. It is no trouble to understand a liar. We understand that the Japanese are a dirty, slimy people; from top to bottom, from Hirohito to the lowest Nip on Honshu. They made it very plain from the start of the war with atrocities that seemed un believable. They couldn’t be misunder stood. Yet, they think to wipe all that out with a few words. It can’t be done. LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E. ISENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. Prosperity of the Righteous The writer of the first Psalm, speaking of the godly, says: “Whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” This is a wonderful state ment. We know the writers of the Holy Bible dealt in facts, not falsehood and fairy tales. Since this is a fact, it looks like everybody would desire to live godly, righteous lives instead of ungodly unrigh1> eous lives. The writer of this Psalm says that the godly “shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Then he goes on to say: “The un godly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judg ment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.” We see by this Scripture, as well as many other passages in the Bible, that the godly, righteous and Christlike have won derful promises and assurances made unto them, and concerning them. On the other hand we likewise see that the ungodly and wicked are warned and warned of the fearful judgments that shall come upon them, unless they turn from their evil, sin ful, wicked ways, repent, seek G/)d and live for Him. 0 that the ungodly and wicked would take heed to the warning given them! Why not? No one can afford to live for the devil and go the broad way that leads to hell. All who do so sacrifice everything that is blessed, good, great, worth while, honorable and glorious. How wonderful to live godly and right eously so we are prospered by our heavenly Father! “Whatever he doeth shall pros per.” This can be in the temporal affairs of life, but especially is it true spiritually. Glory to God. It is good to prosper in one’s business, when it is pleasing unto God, and prosper in one’s undertakings; bul^ the greatest and most wonderful prosperity is that of the soul, and in the^spiritual realm. Such prosperity is not only for time, but it is for eternity. When one is consecrat^ and devoted unto God, and goes forth to live for and work in His harvest' fields, then he is prosperous, God blesses him and makes him a wonderful blessing to man kind. Hallelujah! ' - A B N%R M A Li NONSBNSICAli SQUIBS— A teacber received the follow- ioa note from a parent; “Please excuse Johnnie’s" absence from scbool yesterday. 'He fell In the mud, and by doing the same you will greatly oblige bis mother." . . . Some people’s minds are like women’s faces. They are made up. . . . Remember the depres sion, when times got so bad man had to lay off one of the hands of his watch? ... Free speech is wonderful until the other fellow gets to talkin’ too much. . . . Grey haired people can get some consolation out ^f the fact that the snow on the roof doesn’t make so much dif ference just as long as there is a lire In the furnace. . . . There probably will be plenty of meat, tires, chewing gum, cigarettes, etc., about the time money gets scarce. . . . Ever hear of a guy who hit his girl In the eye so he could go on a blind date? IN SHANTY TOWN— Insurance Man (weeping as he shook his head)—We can’t pay your claim. Tho’ I’m terribly sorry your house burned. It was only a shanty in old Shanty 'Town; and according to all our company’s laws this policy’s e'X- empt because there ain’t no shanty clause. NOT TOO BRIGHT— A certain North Carolina jus tice of the peace, who was not overalert, recalled a witness: Justice of the Peace (sternly) —My man, you may find yourself committed for perjury. Only few moments ago you told the court that you had one brother but your sister has sworn that she has two. Now, out with the truth! IHDN’T TASTE BIGHT— At an after-dinner speech on “Honesty,” Mark Twain told this melon-stealing Incident of his boyhood: “1 sneaked up to the cart and stole A taelM. d went into the al ley to devour it. But I had no sooner set my teeth Into It than 1 paused; a strange feeling came over me; 1 came to a quick con elusion. Finally, I walked up to the cart, replaced the melon— and took a ripe one." be- ONE FRIEND— 1 think I’m very fortunate, cause I have a friend. I know one person who is true— on whom I can depend. We speak so glibly of our friends but I think friends are rare; I mean the ones who cling when we’re disgraced—or in despair. A person who would sympathize it others—all—forsake you; The one who’d understand your acts tho’ all the rest mistake you. If anyone knows all your faults, and still is loyal—-true, Ifou’ca blest Indeed, for friends are scarce; and Fate’s been kind to you.—Exchange. V Bataan Vet Kiiled Playing With Wife Kansas City, Kan., Aug. 27.— Sgt. Gaylord R. Shores, 29-year- old survivor of the Bataan death march, lived through three har rowing years as a Jap prisoner only to die of a gunshot wound inflicted acidentally by his bride of a few weeks. Shores said today in a Kansas City hospital following the acci dental shooting ik his apartment yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Winifred Shores, 21, his wife, told officers her husband was shot during a playful scuffle with .38 caliber revolver. The bullet entered the left side of.the ser geant’s chest about three Inches above the heart. Mrs. Shores was released after questioning. Before he died, Shores was able to tell police that the shot was fired accidentally and ask that his wife be absolved of all blame. “Please don’t do anything to her,” he was quoted by police.

P, We recently heard a most excel lent lermon on the anh^Mt of "Keeping Faith." One of the Im pressive points brooght ont by the speaker was keeping faith with Jesus Christ. We often wonder lust how many church members keep perfect fttfth with their 8a^ vlor? We have seen so ipany of them, who professed to be devout CbrlsUans, especially on the Bkl^ hath day. who evli^ly forgot their allegiance to tho Divine One on oth» days in the w^k. Surely those who wear the garb of Chris tianity shonld not be ashamed to give full allegiance to the Man of Galilee, who gave His life that all mankind shonld be benefltted. Remember the Scripture says: “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend.” You are not celled upon to sacrifice your life In order to serve your Master. All He asks Is you, as a professed Christian, keep faith with Him, and let oth ers, seeing your true faith, fol low In your footsteps, and turn from evil unto good, leaving their wild and wayward ways, and turn to and walk upon the path of righteousness. “Let your light so shine, that others seeing your good works will do likewise.’: Another thought.
