Thursday, June 8, 1950 Savings Bonds Thrift Opportunity Independence campaign on U. S. Sav ings bonds is now nearing a climax and will end on Independece Day, July 4. Independence and bonds in this instance go hand in hand. Purchase of the bonds means financial independence for the buy ers, and successful financing of the govern ment's defense objectives means continu ance of national independence and the power to ward off communistic threats to the American way of life. The treasury department is advocating a plan of "Buy a Bond Each Month" for systematic savings. A person with substantial income could spend $75 monthly for savings bonds and after ten years would have an income from bond maturities of $100 per month. These in lower income brackets may be able to save enough for a $25 or $50 bond each month and in ten years have a bond income of $25 or $50 per month. No one can forsee the future to know what money will be worth in ten years. But with industrial advancement predict ed, it is reasonable to assume that the dol lar in ten* years will buy as much or more than at present, which would assure the bond holder a good return per dollar in addition to earned interest. o Women Drinking Growing Menace Alcoholism among women has increased sharply in the past decade, according to C. D. Cunningham, Director of the Alco holic Research Division of The Keeley In stitue, Greensboro, North Carolina. "Housewives mpre often become chronic inebriates than business or professional women," Cunningham emphasized. "More than 80 per cent of the feminine patients at Keeley are housewives and 74 per cent have children. The average age of the fe male alcoholic is a little over forty." "Women in business cannot afford to drink for economic reasons. Their col leagues will not 'cover up' for them as does the family of the drinking wife. Sooner or later the career girl who drinks finds her self jobless. On the other fiand, the house wife can ease the hangover by staying in bed with a bromide or another drink." Cunningham noted that continued social drinking can advance into alcoholism or compulsive drinking in which the victim seeks drink after drink as a sedative for the nerves. Whiskey leads on until a very serious condition is reached. Treatment is then necessary to relieve acute intoxica tion and accompanying nutritional defici encies. "Public understanding is necessary to alleviate the problem," cautioned Cunning ham. "The road to prevention and rehabi litation may be found through education." o Look At The Record! In a recent address, Harold E. Stassen, who is now president of the University of Pennsylvania, said that American workers W are "grossly misinformed" about the op ! eration of our economic system. He cited a survey made of a group of workmen which asked their wiews on how much profit industry usually earns. The aver age answer was 43 cents on each dollar of business volume. The correct answer would have been less than 10 cents. Mr Stassen then urged business men to tell their employed the facts, and added, "(Jive the American worker the truth; give him constructive leadership, and he will be an indomitable bulwark against the ene mies of freedom and deaf to the sirens of j Socialism." In other words, our best defense against the left-wing propagandists is simply the truth. Under the capitalist system, the pro* fit earned by business is a relatively small item, far exceeded in most cases by wages, taxes and all other major business ex penses. Under the capitalist system, the standard of living of labor has reached peaks undreamed of elsewhere. Under the capitalist system, any man can go as far as his abilities and ambitions permit — a Vvery large percentage 6f the top business leaders of today started out in menial jobs/ And finally, under the capitalist system, these enormous human gains have been made while the maximum of individual freedom has been maintained for everyone. Without individual freedom they would not have been possible at all. * The record is the best argument in ex istence for our kind of social and economic system. „—— o COURT REVENUE AND TRAFFIC . DEATHS (Winston-Salem Journal) Out in Los Angeles, the traffic court has been losing revenue for the city. But it has been saving lives and limbs for the people of Los Angeles. A news report from the Glamorous California metropolis states that Munici pal Judge Roger A. Pfaff has caused that "motor mad" city to lose $600,000 in traf fic fines and forfeitures. But the City Council isn't in any mood to fire Judge Pfaff. The members aren't angry with him. On the contrary a resolu tion adopted by the Council says that this body "looks with deep gratification upon the loss of over $600,000 to date of antici pated revenue from traffic fines and for feitures because it realizes that the $600, 000 so lost represented many times that amount in the savings of lives, bodies and property." The Christian Church celebrated her birthday on Whitsunday, or Pentecost, May 28th. She received greetings in the form of jeers from 500,000 controlled Ger man Communist youth, who with apparent purpose staged their great parade in Ber-I lin on that date. Such a challenge should cause to re-value the Church and what it means-to us. Read thoughtfully this evaluation by Dr. William Henry Bobby: "MY CHURCH" "Before I was born, MY CHURCH gave to my parents ideals of life and love that made my home a place of strength and beauty. "MY CHURCH enriched my childhood with the Romance of Religion and the les sons of life that have been woven into the texture of my soul. Sometimes I seem to have forgotten and then, when I might surrender to foolish and futile ideals of life, the truths MY CHURCH taught become ra diant, insistent, and in escapable. "In the stress and storm of adolescence MY CHURCH heard the surge of my soul and She guided my footsteps by lifting my eyes toward the stars. "When first my heart knew the strange awakenings of love, MY CHURCH taught me to chasten and spiritualize my affec tions; She sanctified my marriage and blessed my home. < - "When my heart was seamed with sor row, and I thought the suii could never" shine again, MY CHURCH drew me to the Friend of all the* Weary and whisper ed to me that hope of another morning, eternal and tearless. "When my steps have slipped and I have known the bitterness of sin, MY CHURCH has believed in me and wooingly She has called me back to live within the heights of myself. "Now have come the children dearer to me fhan life itself and MY CHURCH is helping me to train them for all joyous and clean and Christly living. "MY CHURCH calls me to Her heart. She asks my service and my loyalty. She has a right to ask it! I will help Her to do for others what She has done for me. In this place in which I live, I will help Her keep aflame and aloft the torch of a liv ing faith." § Mrs. Bd B. Hendren wu hostess to the Gllreath Home Demonstra tion clnb, Wednesday, May 84, at 1:30 p. m. with twenty-seven women present. The president, Mrs. .Albert Baity, opened the meeting, the group sang "Hall Clnb Women, Crowned Thru Service." The sec retary Mrs. Bd Hendren read the minutes, and called the roll, each answering naming the vegetables they had eaten from their garden this year. Mrs. Hendren also read a letter from Mr. R. C. Jennings postmaster from Pores Knob, con gratulating the Gllreath club wo men for the fine drive on "Rural mail-box improvement in their community." Here are some of the things the club did in improving looks and convenience to our fine mall carriers, Mr.'W. C. Hendren, carrier of Route No. 1, Mr. Joel Tedder "and Mr. Major Robinson of Oakwoods and Gllreath routes. Some of members are patrons of these routes. We erected boxes of approved design, painted old boxes, put the name of the owner on the side of the box visible to the carrier as he approached it, corrected the approach to the box so that it might be serviced under all weather conditons, grouped boxes where practical, erected box on post of regulation height, three and one-half to four feet on a level base. The club women have done a wonderful job in this campaign, and we hope and would appreci ate if women" living on the Oak wood, Gllreath, and Pores Knob Route 1 will join us in doing away with all unsightly mail boxes on our highways, especially on route leading out from Wllkes boro through Oakwoods, on up on top' of the Brushy Mtn. which is the garden spot of the world. "Come on women, all Join to ether in helping keep this a beau tiful highway, and rural section."
