North Carolina, as Second-class matter iiiiicr Act of March 4, 1879. MONDAY, APRIL 8, 1946 Political Medicine There is jrreat agitation in this country to socialize the practice of medicine. Those favorinir such a plan would even tually put government in direct control over physicians and surgeons. Eventual ly, the situation woud become such that if you needed a doctor you would be .sent one picked out by the political bureaucrat in charge. The doctor would lose his in- divduality and become just another num ber in a political stew pot of patronage and red tape. Political distribution of medical care would entail making a public record of the characteristics and the most intimate and sacred personal relationships of each and every patient. The privacy of every human being would be invaded and vio lated. It can be imagined how the infor mation might be used by the curious and the unscrupulous. The effectivene.ss of medical care is wholly dependent upon the skill of the physician. The American doctor is a human being—a personality. He must be free to act as an individual. He should not be robbed of his freedom of action and decision. Bureaucratic direction would de.stroy the factor that is the secret of his effectiveness. Important Subject We note the public speaking contest on “Soil Conservation” which many high school boys and girls are preparing for and e.xpect to compete in the Wilkes Coun ty finals April 18, 1946, at the courthouse. We wish to compliment the North Wil kesboro Kiwanis Club, the North Carolina Bankers Association, and other civic clubs and individuals within the thirteen coun ties competing in the contest for sponsor ing such a worthy cause—that of the building up of our soil so that we will have better production per acre, more products to sell, and a much better standard of liv ing on the farm. This contest goes deeper than teaching school boys and girls self-contidence and speaking ability—which is a worthy cause in itself—but it goe.s to the very gra.ss roots of our actual existence; that is, the con.servation and building up of the pro ducing capacity of our basic natural re source—the soil. Did you ever give seri ous thought to what might happen to North Wilkesboro, Wilkes County, ar.d for that matter, the Nation, if the top six inches of topsoil w’as w'ashed off our farm lands down into the rivers and streams? We know of one farm among many that seven years ago was approaching this stage. In 1937 the farm wms support ing: 1 mule, 1 cow, a few acres of corn (10 bushels per acre production); a few acres of wheat (15 bushels per acre pro duction) ; a handful of chickens; and four acres of poor grade tobacco (grown on land not suited for tobacco). In 1946 this same farm supports: 24 head of milk cows; 1 purebred bull; 13 hog.s, 300 chickens; 2 head of work stock; a flock of turkeys: ample fields of alfalfa for hay: permanent pasture and tempor ary pastures to support the dairy herd; corn fields that yield 70 bushels per acre; a new Grade-A milk house, new silo, and many improvements to buildings, home, etc. This change took place by following a systematic soil conservation improvement plai which included good land use, ter racing, meadow strips, strip cropping, good rotations, developing adequate per manent pasture and hay lands, woodland management and reforestation, using im proved seeds and good farming orse sense. In short, the farm changed from a liability to an asset in the short period o seven years through soil conserving in stead of soil depleting methods. Multiply this farm by the approximately 4,000 farms in Wilkes County and you get some figures that are worth studying. We say again this contest is well worth the effort. Each year new scientific advances make it possible to save more people from can cer. ^0— If newspaper accounts are true, most of the murders committed, the majority of traffic accidents and injuries, the mor al breakdown of family life would lead us to believe that liquor is at the root of the trouble, that our beverage rooms have become cesspools of iniquity, breeding crime, .social disease, lawlessness and heartaches.—Keidsville Review. -0 X U F _ EVERYDAY COVNSELOR By Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. There is only one la.sting basis of mar riage: physical, mental and spiritual love. No doubt there are marriages made every day for other reasons, but unless they be gin with, or eventually resolve themselves into love, they miss the highest possibili ties of marriage and all too often end in dwarfed and unhappy lives. But men and women marry for reasons other than love. A New York Commis sion on Marriage sometime ago made a study of the institution, listing ten reasons why men and women marry. They follow with certain added comments: 1. Companionship. This is an integral part of a successful marriage, but compan ionship without affection and mutual in terests soon becomes a dry and arid des ert. Solitude is a blessing compared to the boredom that companionship alone brings. 2. Pleasure. A real marriage is more than pleasure, it is happiness. Pleasure alone is like a pretty face or a fine pair of shoulders, of which one soon tires. 3. Freedom. He who marries for free dom usually wants license, which breeds selfishness, brings forth loneliness. 4. Adventure. Marriage is not a land to explore and then go home. The adven turer in marriage finds himself forever seeking, but never finding. The good land is always on the other side of the moun tain. 5. Economic Security. It was Esau who sold his birthright for a good dinner and lived to regret it. Those who marry for a meal ticket may get just that, but even tually learn that “man does not live by bread alone.” 6. Children and Family. Marriage is more than a scheme of the Creator to propagate the race. Children brought into the world without their knowledge or consent deserve a home atmosphere of mutual affection and respect. 7. Self-Realization. This places the emphasis upon self. He who marries for self finds a self-realization which brings no comfort with the advancing years. It is a foundation which crumbles, 8. Self-Respect. Again for self. Mar riage for self-respect has a way of turn ing into sour milk which is not swallowed easily. 9. Happiness. Happiness without love is impossible. It is not to be had for thd seeking. It is a bi-product of seeking the welfare of others. 10. Love. Love is the only enduring foundation upon which a happy and suc cessful marriage can be reared. It is the only .solvent for the obstacles which be set the pathway of marriage. It is the only lubricant which can oil the wheels of matrimony as they grind the grist of life. It is the only cement which can bind together two different personalites into a lasting union, “and the twain shall be one flesh.” It is the only atmosphere in which a home can grow and develop. It is the only light which can illumine the dark and stormy days which come to all. Love has a way of blending all other reasons for marriage into a beautiful whole. Without it marriage may survive through deference to duty and convention. With it marriage becomes a glorious mu tual adventure. ’$ New Arrivals! rj |'( P5. ® 1 ' BUY A KROEHLER LIVINGROOM SUITE...
