The big advantage to this area will be faster service to all points, west, which is sorely needed. Eforts are also under way to speed up the schedule, which will mep earlier arival here and at all postoffices in this area. Socialism By Default In the March issue of Fortune, John Davenport writes on "Socialism by De fult." His basic thesis is a simple one—yet one that is being tragically overlooked in these days of overpowering government. He says: "It is apparent that, internally at least, this country is in no danger of collectivization by the Communists . . . Equally certain it is that the U. S. is in no danger of formally espousing Socialism in the sense that a sincere Socialist of the stripe of Norman Thomas uses the word But socialism and collectivism do not always have to enter a country by the front door, especially if the rear door is left ajar .... The essence of European socialism is not that the state owns the means of pro duction but that .... it seeks to guide the course of production and distribution by a complex process of controls over prices, materials, imports and exports, and takes on such enormous functions that the pri vate citizen is either subject to perpetual inflation or crushed beneath a staggering load of taxes. This kipd of socialism. . ..is technically different from the old-fashion ed brand. But it leads to the same result a vast and dangerous increase in the power of the state over men's lives." What Mr. Davenort is saying is that we can drift into. socialism and collectivism without knowing it. If we do, it will be be cause we permit the government to become too big and too strong. We are going to have big government in such fields as the military, foreign relief, international rela tions and so on. But to believe that this must be accompanied by big government in every conceivable human activity is to surrender before the battle. The very size of Federal spending directly endangers economic and political liberty. If we must spend huge sums for arms and kindred purposes, that is aD the more reason for paring to the limit that which we spend for unnecessary activities. This is not just theory. It is hard, ines capable logic. No nation ever asked, eyes rtoen for oppression and tyranny and dic tatorship—the hall-marks of collectivism. But a score of nations have fallen beneath .

It meet he earned and pro Scott's Choice For Senator Big Surprise Governor W. Kerr Scott's choice of Dr. Frank Graham to the U. S. Senate seat vacated by the death of Senator J. M. Broughton was a complete surprise to the people of North Carolina, because the un iversity president had not been mentioned among the aspirants for the senate. News of the appointment was received with mixed comment among the people of the state, abont the only thing in agree ment being that the appointment was a sur prise. Dr. Graham is known as a liberal. He does not favor any radical laws on the sub ject, but it is known that he favors at least a part of President Truman's civil rights proposal, which the senate is prepared to filibuster to death at any time it comes up. Dr. Graham has been known in his cap acity as heading one of the great educa tional institutions in America—the Great er University of North Carolina. But it is yet to be learned how he will perform in the U. S. Senate, which is known for great * deliberation. The new senator is a man of great knowl edge and wisdom, and in his new capacity may bring great honor and renown to our state. His record in government is yet to be made. Many fears his views, which they say are too liberal. But Dr. Frank Graham in the U. S. Senate may be a more cautious statesman that he has been an educator. Tup EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Rev. Herbert « Spaugh, D. D. j Hurry, pressure, confusion, frustration, irritability, sleeplessness, illness, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, heart attacks, finally death! We are living in a world of this. The problems which come to this desk reflect it continually. Is there any escape? Yes, there is. The Lord has provided a way out, if we will take it. Jesus wrote, "In the wdtld ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.' The history of the Hebrew nation in the Old Testament presents the picture of an entire nation called of God to separate it self from the confusion of pagan living and to dedicate itself to live according to God's plan for happiness and peace. They never achieved it as nation, but there are many recorded instances of individuals who did find the way to happiness and peace with God. Jesus Christ came and offered a new plan —the Christian gospel. He described it as a new way of life. He said it was the way of peace in the heart. Again and again the gospel writers relate how he said, "Peace be unto you." He likened the en trance into this new life as a new birth which comes to the man who accepts Him as' Saviour and as Counselor. St. Paul em phasized the same theme throughout his Epistles. n The Cross is a symbol of the new life. It is a sign of the crucifixion itself. The King James version of the Bible uses an old En glish word to describe this process of chan ging our lives from one of confusion and frustration to one of peace — sanctifica tion.lt runs through the whole Bible, from the Old Testament to the New Testament. "I am the Lord Which sanctify you. . .. I am the Lord your God which have separa ted you from other people. And ye shall be holy unto me; for I the Lord am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine. "Jesus that He might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered with out the gate. . . .Our Saviour Jesus Christ gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a preculiar people, zealous of good works. "Blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again un to a living hope by the ressurection of Jesus Christ from the dead. "Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
