North Carolina, es Second-Class matter under Act of March 4, 1897. Thursday, November 24, 1949 THANKSGIVING As in the days preceding the first Thanksgiving, Americans should a p proach this day with gratitude for bles sings of a kind and merciful providence. But today our blessings are multitudin ous compared to what the early settlers had to be thankful for. The very early American who started Thanksgiving had grown crops under the most adverse circumstances imaginable and had in the meantime fought off hos tile indians, wild animalls, disease and had labored under great handicaps. At this Thanksgiving season America is in a state of prosperity with a bounti ful plenty of everything. Today America produces with comparatively little effort. America can grow and make practically everything the people need. America grew great because it was founded by people with courage and with gratitude in their hearts for their mater ial possessions. America grew great be cause its founders recognized God as the giver of every good and perfect gift. America grew great because of thankful hearts and valiant souls. If this country should fall it would be because its people strayed from the fun damental purposes of its early people? those who instituted Thanksgiving as an annual holiday season. America today is not able to count her blessings one by one. Favored as no other nation is favored, America is the land of plenty and freedom. While practically every other nation in the world is a land of want, America is a land of bounteous abundance. To be a part of this great country is perhaps the greatest blessing we can enjoy. But unless we are grateful, unless we have a willingness to share with thosy in want the material and spiritual values which are ours, we stand in danger of losing all which means so much. To retain its favored spot in the world, America must not only share by helping those in distress and want, but must be willing to aid and encourage oth er peoples to attain our great standards in freedom, democracy, individuality and liberty. We should show to the world that America has attained greatness through individual liberty and the sov ereignty of the individual. We should share with the world the Christianity that is the true foundation of our fundament al principles. Sorrowed Comment SHOCKING ABUSE (Columbus Evening Dispatch) Action of the anti-trust division of the U. S. Department of Justice in "investi gating" county and state medical socie ties affiliated with the American Medical Association is a shocking misuse of fed eral authority. And if the Justice Department agents are responsible for the breaking into and entering the board room of the AM A trustees in Chicago and searching of its records, on last February 10, this move represents a new low in government mor ality even for an administration which has displayed a notable lack in that re spect. The reason behind this obviously po litical persecution of one of the nation's most respected professional groups is childishly transparent. The AMA has vig orously opposed President Truman's state medicine proposal. Therefore, the doctors are to be put on the spot, smeared in the eyes of the public and harried by gov ernment minions in the hope that they may choose the lesser of two evils and bow to socialized medicine rather than face possible trial in the courts on anti trust charges?however remote may be the likelihood of making such an absurd accusation stick. ^ By what possible stretch of the imagi nation can medical societies be properly condemned as combinations in restraint of trade? Or as illegal combines banded together to fix prices? Unqualified persons are forbidden- to practice medicine by law. The statutes lay down the qualifications. If there is any restraint, it is the government that imposes it. As for fees, every physician is his own arbiter in this respect. Medical societies are merely loose, professional organizations primarily dedicated, to the interchange of data for the benefit of all their membership. If medical societies are in violation of the anti-trust laws, so are bar associations and engineers' socie ties and professional groups of all sorts. It would make just as much sense to in vestigate the Democratic National Com mittee, but it isn't attacking socialized medicine, so of course that won't happen. X 14 IT EVERY im COUNSELOR By Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D "Take it easy, take it easy!" How often do you hear this admonition passed* out today to those who feverishly rush around and finally hurl themselves into a prema ture grave ? As I visit the hospitals I can't help being struck by the number of peo ple suffering from various complaints which I am convinced are greatly aggra vated by the rush and strain of modern living, if not actually caused by them. In the days when steam engines were the chief sources of power for factories and mills, the large Corliss engine was widely used. It had a large fly-wheel which often measured from ten to fifteen feet in diameter. The engine ran slowly, but developed power and speed by the large fly-wheel driving a belt which ran on to a much smaller pulley. Geared for slow speed, the enduring power of this engine was tremendous, and its wear negligible. Occasionally a governor or a belt on one of these engines would break, and the engine would "run away." On such oc casions the fly-wheel was known to "ex plode." It simply blew apart as the re sult of centrifugal force and terrific speed. " Something like that is happening daily to human machines. Most of us are not physically geared up to run continuously at high speed. Sooner or later we "ex plode," and we do it at the weakest place in our bodies. One of the best remedies offered today for such conditions is to relax. It might be summed up in this homely~ advice of an old negro woman who lived to be 107 years old. Asked the secret of her long life she replied, "When I walks, I walks slow, When I sets, I sets loose. When I sets down to worry, I goes to sleep."
