MONDAY, SEPT. 16, 1946 When Will It Learn? For a few months there have been no “major” strikes in this country. That may have given a large part of the public an extremely false idea of the labor situation. Production in the most vital fields is still being delayed by labor disputes. The automobile industry is a case in point. No manufacturer makes a car from start to finish. All manufacturers buy certain es sential parts from specialized factories. As a result, “little” strikes in concerns making such items as wheels, body hard ware and electrical equipment have forc ed the car makers to close down time and time again. That’s the main reason why motor car production is at only a fraction of the levels forecast when the war ended. When will labor learn that only sustain ed, increasing production can make for fatter pay envelopes in the long run? When will it learn that the old slogan of “an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay” is not so outmoded as some of our advanced thinkers believe? And when will it learn that inflated prices made necessary by vast wage increases without a comparable increase in the worker’s productivity will never make for lasting prosperity? When will it learn that such a policy can only increase the cost of living? The Importance Of The Individual The essence of Christianity is the im portance of the individual. And that doc trine has been the foundation in law of all nations whose material progress has been greatest. The first real step forward in individu al freedom was the Magna Carta, which has deeply colored the history of the world. Its most perfect expre.ssion is found in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States which carried the ideal of freedom a vast distance further. These documents say, in effect, that man as an individual, as a person, is important and that he has cer tain fundmental and eternal rights which cannot be abrogated by men in the mass as represented by the state. It is not coincidental that governments based on the theory that the state is all important and that individual is unimport ant have inevitably destroyed or submerg ed religion and Christianity. For this kind of government must turn itself into a fake religion. Its goals are wholly material. Hitler knew that when he scoffed at Christianity and said that the ideal of Nazism was the one true deity for the Ger man people. Lenin knew it, when he said that Christianity was the opium of the people. Our government was based on a spiritu al concept, not a material concept. Yet unprecedented material progress has been made here. The reasons are plain. The man who is individually important as a citizen is the man who becomes econom ically important as a worker. He is the thinking man, the doing man. He is the antithesis of the regimented man. The great lesson of history is that all institutions—religion, industry, the arts and crafts—must remain free or none will remain free. ’There can be no compromise with oppression, no matter what form it may take. Government domination of the individual or business is slavery. The basic idea upon which our free enterprise sys tem rests is the Christian philosophy— the importance of the individual. Illiiprt Y. M. C. A. Efforts Dkisibn on the part motion committee of the^Wilkes Chamber of Commerce to invite Veterans to parade here on Farmers' Day October-2 meets with wholehearted approval from the public. , The parade will be a tribute on the part of the populace to the men who fought and won the war. According to present plans, the parade will form at Smoot Park, where all veter ans are asked to meet at 12:30 p. m. From there the veterans will march through this city and be reviewed by Senator Clyde R. Hoey, who is to be Farmers’ Day speaker. The committee emphasizes that all vet erans of all branches of service are invit ed and urged to participate in the parade. It is desired that they be in uniform, but those who do not wish to wear uniforms will be welcome in the parade. Along with the farmers, the veterans will be honored guests for the day of cele bration and recreation in North Wilkes- boro. The program is really shaping up well, and the day should be highly enjoy able for all the visitors to North Wilkes- boro. APPLES FOR SALE (Winchester, Va,, Evening Star) Between the lines of two fruit news stories in recent days was a wee small warming, understood well by old heads in the business, proably overlooked by some of the newcomers. One of the stories had a big headline. It said price control on apples had ended. The other story didn’t have such a big headline and was mostly about today’s ap ple advertising commission in Yakima. But there was a paragraph which said some man in the east had just had trouble selling some early apples. He had, in fact, sold them at a sizeable loss. So there is the story. There will be no ceiling on apples and no gauge for every body to look at and try to sell at. And actually, there has come about once more a condition where people aren’t buying ever>'thing that looks vaguely like an ap ple. This is going to be genuinely disturbing for those folks who have ridden on the crest of a get-richrquick wave for the past three years; who have sold for ceiling prices everything from C-grades to extra fancies; who have forgotten some of the cardinal principles of fruit producing. There is every indication that good ap ples will sell for good prices, if they are properly merchandised and if they reach consumers in proper shape. But there is also every indication that inferior fruit will bring inferior prices, may even go begging for a market. And this is as good a time as any for the reminder that the market for Washington apples thru the years has been built on quality fruit and that the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is fast di.sappearing.

Wheat planted on October 16 produced 7.1 more bushels per acre than that planted on Novem ber 15. In seeding wheat, it must be remembered that the crop should not be seeded ahead of the Hessian fly-free date. The yield of barley was in creased by approximately one- half by October 1 seeding as com pared with November 15 seeding. The grain was 13.6 bushels per acre in favor of early seeding. tmH9on ina«h»jsit-af>-iiKitade ImL aS the .ffllDA": xtr wb^ asked bow Be i«!e libotit J Oldss‘came bvarsees In, _. _ of 1948, and was in tBe 7^tB4H- Tlsloa.
