OPED FORUM This Is a •olumn opea to the poblic fbr fw» expression. THE IOURNAL-PATRIOT does not assume any responsibility for articles printed onder this beading, And neither endorses nor condemns them. Please be I as brief as possible. W. M. ALEXANDER WRITES ABOUT FLOOD CONTROL If, ''Of the People, By the people and For 1116 People," all the rivers and streams of the eartfi were harnessed with dams, greater and lesser as the situation required, for the* production of electricity, flood oontrol, irrigation and navigation, to what extent would such a program benefit the peoples of the world? Since our chemists are fast finding means of destroying insect pests, blights and cumbersome weeds of which our food vegetation is subject to, the net ultimate results would be, hotter protection for human and animal life, protected and irrigated soils where needed for better find more abundant crops, relegating into the past the pestilences of flood and famine, abundance of electricity for power and the heating of our homes, further means of transportation by water, untold millions of protected fish life for the benefit .of humankind, additional beauty to an already beautiful world and real co-operation with nature in its eternal effort to provide humankind with all its food and raiment needs. That such an undertaking would accomplish just one of the above mentioned blessings, the elimination of famine from the earth, what would be wrong with such a program, even at a cost equal to that of our two late world wars? On what grounds can we oppose projects that w^uld mean flood control, if nothing more? W. M. ALEXANDER. — o Civil Service Jobs Oak Ridge, Tenn. Rockingham. — Rep. C. B.

T FORMER COUNTY ATTY.GRATEFUL TO RETONGA Prominent Citizen Tells About His Own Case In Hope That Others May Regain the Joy of Living As He Hid, He States. • Felt Like He Was About at End of Row. "Retonga made life pleasant for me when it looked like I was about1 done for, and it would be impos- J sible to express my gratitude to the medicine", states Mr. Ferd P.1 Veeck, Petersburg, Ind., former county attorney, Republican committeeman, newspaper publisher, and one of the most highly respected men in Southern Indiana. "I suffered tortures from indigestion after every meal, and by four o'clock in the afternoon I felt almost completely exhausted", continued Mr. Veeck. "In the middle of each summer I had to stay away from my office for weeks, and I spent most of the time in bed. In '39 I had an old gentleman about 75 working in my garden. Neither the intense summer heat or the hard work seemed to bother him, while I, as usual, was barely able to be up. He told me he took Retonga and advised me to try it. "Before I finished the first bottle of Retonga I felt so greatly relieved that I began to eat better and feel stronger. By the time I finished three bottles I felt better and stronger than in years. I have continued to enjoy unusual good feeling and strength. Retonga was grand for me, and I hope this statement will enablfe someone else to regain the joy of living as I did". Mr. Veeck is one of hundreds of prominent men and women praising this famous medicine. Retonga is intended to relieve distress due to insufficient flow of digestive juices in the stomach, loss of appetite, Vitamin B-l deficiency, and constipation. Retonga may be obtained at Horton's Drug Store in North Wilkesboro. (Adv.) I
