Thursday, April 21, 1949 Are You Ready For J Clean-Up Week? In case yon had forgotton, Clean-Up Week will be April 24 to 30. This year Clean-Up Week bids fair to be a successful event, because work has been under way for weeks and much of the desired results have been accomplish ed. Thoroughly organized, the drive under direction of the Civic Affairs committee of the Chamber of Commerce and cooperating organizations laid the ground work for genuine results. But now that Clean-Up Week is almost here, those who have been engaged in the work should continue their efforts toward beautification as well as Clean-Up. There are myriads of ways in which appearances of grounds and buildings can be improved. During Clean-Up Week town authori ties will cooperate fully in hawling away garbage. Those who collect rubbish to be hauled off are asked to. call and have it removed. Special efforts are being made by municipal authorities to help in the Clean-Up efforts. These who are interested in civic pride may extend their efforts beyond their own property. It may be that there is a vacant lot near you and that the owner is away. With the owner's permission you might help the looks of your neighborhood by some work there. Concerted and cooperative effort can do much toward making this community and all Wilkes county a more pleasant place in which to live. Borrowed Comment Don't Whip Dead Horse (Greensboro Daily News) Should we provide more aid for the Chinese nationalists? There is a very vo cal group in Congress which thinks so, but Secretary of State Ache son got at the heart of the matter when he said: There is no evidence that the furnishing of additional military material would alter the pattern of current developments in China. Unless such evidence is forthcoming, it would be foolish to extend more aid. There is no use pouring water on a duck's back or money in a rat hole. Since V-J Day we have given China more than $2,000,000, 000 in aid and it has accomplished noth ing. Thus when Senator Bridges of New Hampshire accuses Secretray Acheson of "what might be called sabotage of the valiant attempt of the Chinese nationalists to keep at least a part of China free" and asks for "a full-dress congressional inves tigation," it does not make sense. We have done all we could for the "val iant" Chinese nationalists, and far more than we were required to. It is not our pol icy 4n China that has been at fault but lack of material for it to work on and the fail ure of the nationalists to take advantage of it. We have given advice and it has been ignored, money end it has been wasted, goods and they have been hoarded, arms and they have been surrendered. What more could we have done? General Mar shall urged military and governmental re forms on the nationalists and his pleas fell on deaf ears. We certainly do not like it, but it is folly to argue that additional doses of the same medicine will cure a patient who bM never had any idea of following the directions on the bottle anyway. Our resource)# are not unlimited. We m«st reptijct our eid to plaoes where It win count, China unfortunately if, accord ing to aO the evidence, not one of them. Unsafe Ladders Lead To Falls ! "Check your ladders and your climbing habits if you want to be safe," County Agent Paul Choplin of the State College Extension Service said today in reminding farmers that unsafe ladders lead to falls. Periodic inspections should be made so that unsafe ladders can be either repaired or discarded, the county agent said. Ladders should not be left where they will fall, be tipped over, or bumped into. They should be stored in a readily acces sible location where they can be obtained in ft hurry in case of fire. Before mounting a ladder, be sure it is set securely. The National Safety Council recommends that it be set from a wall so that the base is one-fourth the distance to the top support. A ladder should also be tied or someone should hold it, if used where there is danger of slipping. Always face the ladder going up or down, and hold on with both hands. Take one step at a time—don't hurry. It is easier and safer to get on and off a lad der that extends well above a landing. Tools or materials that cannot be carried safely in pockets should be hoisted with a hand line. Work facing the ladder, and hold on with one hand. Avoid working in a high wind. Avoid over-reaching or over-exer tion in pushing or pulling while working on ladders. Remember that it is easy to lose balance and fall. -THE EVERYDAY COUNSELOR! By Rev. Herbert jj Spaugh, D.

With two electrodes attached to electric sockets in the house, he carried them into the yard, spikes them into .the earth, turns on the current and in a few minutes the worms are wrig gling to the surface to avoid the electric shock. Cabanlss then fills up his bait can, turns off the current, gets out the fishing poles and is off to the river bank. NOTICE North Carolina, Wilkes County. In the Superior Court Before the Clerk.
