British Might Consider -Some Amarican Granite , ..The theft of the Stone of Scone from London’s West ~*Phnster Abbey leuft all Britain aghast with horror and gave newspapers over the world something besides war hews to toy with. 'We fear that we cannot share England’s tradition-bound -herror at the acct, which was ascribed to “extreme Scottish —nationalists.” ' r _“*Tt is only fitting that England, home of the world’s first -««d finest mystery stories, oe the scene of the most bizarre bit of hijacking in history. I-- - - ■ Zm. JThat anyone could make away with a rock weighing up wards of four hundred pounds is a newsworthy feat in it «S3f. But the fact that Scotland Yard, reputedly one of the JgJlst efficient and dogged of police forces, cannot catch up -with the hallowed hunk of sandstone makes the situation jaSightful. sympathies, however, go out to the English. For, with no Stone of Scone, they could hardly coronate a new -fctng if one is suddenly needed. So we are more than glad to offer them our services by lending His Majesty’s Government an old hunk of granite we use as a base for cracking walnuts But they’ll have to get Lloyds of London to insure it first. Christmas Slaughter ~Should Be Warning With another holiday week-end fast approaching, it is time to ask a question which seems to nave no answer: Will Americans continue to maim and slaughter Themselves on the nation’s highways as a means of expressing ’their of a day s rest? Tne long, Christmas which should have brought pleasure ana relaxation to millions, brought in steau aeatti and suxleftog to-Jthe families of more than seven hunarea ana twenty persons wqo aied to Yuieiiae ac ciaents. More than six hundred of these were killed in automo ble misnaps, ana over unity ox mat numoer died to North caronna in one oi tne gicatest mgnway massacres this Btate nas ever seen. In aaaiuon to road deaths, almost two dozen brutal and senseiess Killings mosuy muruers graced this past Christmas weea-end in tne i'ar neei State. Harnett county got more man its snare of murders, two oi wnich were committed to Dunn during the four-day Christmas holiday. Tne tnree siaymgs recorded in the county during tne past weex maue me Cnristmas obser vance look luce a revival oi tne saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre. • Wnat will the coming New Year’s Day week-end bring? Possjoiy more muruers, «*uu oeiutnny many more hign way fatalities. It seems to be the rule that Americans on holidays are bent on seif destruction, like the Norwegian lemmings which rush periodically to me sea to drown themselves for no apparent reason. A Repeat performance of the past week-end would put the State's oeath toll at the one tnousand m^rk —a peak seldom reached in any past year. Will we continue to waste lives, time, money, and talents in this useless slaughter? It is time holiday drivers paid some heed to the warnings printed and broadcast by the State Highway Patrol, winch never ceases to urge holiday joyriders to use the utmost caution in driving. The Record hopes that repentant, Americans, looking back on the Christmas carnage, will keep the New Year's holiday free of unnecessary death, sorror and destruction.

It is a guide to the present policy of our government in its foreign rela tions. It is clearly written, easy to ead, and an excellent guide to un derstanding. It is numbered 3972, if you want to send to the State Department for it. • I cannot help, even in this mom ent of enthusiasm over a good job, wondering why they waited un til September, 1950 to publish this. It would have served us better had it been given to our people five years ago. During the inter vening five years, the State De partment issued considerable doubtful, if not fraudulent, propa ganda, including the fictitious white paper on China prepared by. Dr. Philip Jessup. Had the de partment come clean in those days, it would not- be so unpopular to day. This pamphlet shows: “Since 1945 the Soviet Union has taken some 72 million square miles of new territory and more than 500 million people under its con trol. It is now trying to extend its empire across Asia. “Soviet expansion has wiped out three nations: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. It has reduced to ser vitude six nations which were in dependent before 1939: Poland, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, Al bania, and Czechoslovakia. Soviet leaders have marked Communist China for the same fate. “The people who have come un der Soviet rule have lost not only their national independence but their individual liberties. Each satellite is a police state on the Soviet model. Its government is controlled. . . and often actually run. . . by Soviet agents. Its econ omy is exploited for the \ benefit of the Soviet Union. Its people live in terror under the eyes of the se cret police. They have no freedom to speak, to vote, or to worship as they please. They can 1' and often do. . . disappear in tne night to : prison, concentration camp, or death, and no one dares ,to ask what has become of them.” That is what many of us have! 1 been trying to tell the American 1 people for five years. It attracted dramatic attention in the Mind szenty and Vogeler cases, but there have been thousands of such cases. While we were playing with ap peasements, with speeches in the UN, with conferences with Vysh insky and Malik and such, Soviet Russia was doing precisely what this pamphlet is describing. And the State Department knew it is it knows it now. It reads like the confession of a crime. The material on China is not up to the quality of the rest of the pamphlet. But. the pamphlet does explain how our "policy in China was developed. We feared that in tervention would bring war. But non-intervention has brought war. We "appeased the Chinese Com munists in the hope that they would keep the peace; they ac cepted appeasement for weakness and made war on us. Reed this paragraph: “Only one alternative course of action might have saved China from Communism: A full-scale intervention by United States mili tary forces on behalf of the Nat ionalist government. To intervene in what was then still unquest ionably a civil war betwqpn Chin ese Nationalists and Chinese Com munists would have meant rever sing our history and our character, abandoning our principles and our good name. . . and risking defeat. It would have branded the United States as an Imperialist power In the minds of the people of Asia. It would have embroiled the United States In a war In China which could have brought neither peace nor any real victory.” So, we are embroiled In that war anyhow, and It is bringing neither peaqe nor real victory. It Is even bringing an expanded war. Fear of war la never a policy;, it la a re treat from policy. For what ye do IP keep out of war often puts us right Into war. Our policy in Asia has accomplished precisely that and we shall either go back to what we were afraid to do, that Is, shaU°suffer a total defeat in Afts .and withdraw from that continent; as Herbert Hoover proposes. The alternatives have become limited due to .our low of initiative through SartjS .jS** \ • |u .Ha , THE DAILY RECORD DUNN, N. C. x “Personally, I think it might be better to call the DOCTOR for a heartburn case .; . Frederick L. OTHMAN WASHINGTON.—Having burned the tinsel ribbons and the star spangled tissues with only a slight scorching of the mantel piece, I think I’d better tell you about my Christmas gifts. Everybody, includ ing my bride and American industry, showered down. Mrs. 0., came up with a small jug of a yellowish fluid distilled by an obscure order of monks in the mountains of Graustark, this is supposed to be sipped by the thimblefull after dinner and a grate ful fellow I am, too. It tastes vag uely like polish for light tan shoes. To my ever-loving wife I present ed something she long Imß"wanted: a garden dictionary. Cost me $3.95, plus sales tax, and if this results in better strawberries by spring I am doubly blessed. From the largest distljery in the world I received something especial ly nice. Consists of a hand-painted box with a handle which; I believe, is known as a silent butler and is | used by nostesses to empty the ash ■trays of their guests. ( Upon a pad of green tissue in my sflgiht butler nestled half ja pint of tMA factory’s finest product. Just right the hip, if I only w&e a reporter fee Holly woods puts in the movifcs. America’s greatest producer of soda pop also came up with some thing de luxe: a cigarette* lignter with a bottle of the product em blazoned on one side in bronze and thd firm's trademark in red enamel on the other. I now own lighters bearing also the emblems of one airline, one auto lactory, one brick works, and one steamship company. If I only had some gasoline, I could make a beautiful light. .*» A leading aluminum company sent me a- large dish, made of exactly what you might imagine, and dec orated with signs of the Zodiac. It is a handsome thing and the only Christmas gift 1 received from big business which did not bear any advertising message. From now on 1 shall know what day It Is because I received calendars from a hardware firm, a railroad, two flying machine companies and an insurance outfit. I also have an automatic pencil with the Insignia of the Little Giant Grundle Co., on it; a four-motored chromium fly ing machine and ash tray combined from a maker of the big ones, and Chiropractic ' For LAfk°::-.g| Stomach 'jHgsEl Trouble ■Ppsb:i -’>• - STOMACH-- *4*i •toe stomach, being regulated in $ its function by nerves, it is only logi* ■ m oal to }oqjt to the nerve supply for tLS -- - *itever the c adjust- -^^K|Voveß—• he points r • emerge, H HOUSE CALLS MADE I■, m, GERALD JAMES I Ivi* * "■ 2 “ 5 P *• DUNN, N.^C || 3031, Res. 3(160. X-RAY LABORATORY | 1 a lipstick (my bride grabbed that) ’ from a leading cosmetics manufact ; urer. The country’s largest dairy has sent me a package of assorted cheese. And as for my Christmas ■ iscally any business you’d care tof isally any business you’d care to mention, including zinc base paint. I also have a few cards in a special pile from people whose names ring no bell with me: one uses as part of the decorations as stick of chew ing gum. So I did fine on the Christmas loot. Each gift 1 appreciated, trade marks included, and while I never realized that Christmas was the time for advertising the product, I’ve got to remember that this is. after all, a capitalistic nation and I am part of it. The only gift under our tree that flabbergasted me was a bicycle with chromium-plated murguards, silvery ! wheels, and royal blue running gear; the doggondest job of its kind I ever saw. My bride brought it, all I right, but she said it wasn't for me. A 10-year-old youngster down the pike, said she, sad been dreaming : about a bicycle for the «sT v 'two Christmases,- with never a chance of owning one in the normal course of events. So she got him one. Said she believed II would make him happy and her too. I kind of liked the idea, myself. One other nice thing my bride did: no turkey. We had roast beef, the first in months, and salubrious it was, when I got the cost of it out of . my mind. NEXT QUESTION CHICAGO,—(UP)—The Encyclo . paedia Britannica reported that its ; research workers answered 34,200 r questions for subscribers during the ; past year. r „ Among the queries were the fol lowing: ; ( “What is the cause and cure of ; [child psychology? “How did the elephants in Noah’s I Ark get down off Mt. Ararat?” i But the research workers couldn’t l answer; i “How can I keep my wife home ■ nights?” j, “How many dog and cat ceme i teries are there in South Africa?” COAST-TO-COAST From Tokyo, holidaygree tings signatured by Navy chaplain Ed Harp, still In service. Harp was chaplain on the flat-top Hornet, when it carried Doolittle’s bomber raiders to Japan, later served as chaplain at St. Albans Naval Hospital in the New York area. His card reads: “Dear Ed: This will be late reaching you, but I cannot let the season pan Without saying at least ‘Merry Christmas.’ I spent the day visiting 4,000 casualties at the Yokosuka Hospital. It! was a humbling experience! And tonight, as I sit here writing this, I recall similar scenes in which you participated at St Albans. Os all the desperately-wounded men I visited today, I didn’t hear one single com plaint. The, fighting is grim, bht morale is high. Hastily, Ed Harp.” With the A. S. expenditure of 500 defense billions,in the last 10 years, and a similar amount earmarked for the next 10 years, Eddie Ricken backer’s letter to this desk points out acute dangers: “This will mean taxes on top of taxes, along with the danger of controls on top of controls, resulting in the loss of liberties on top of liberties. And a lower stardard of living, but no penalties dr consequences would, or could, justify the loss of any of our liberties or freedoms. God and our forefathers gave us a great country, with a Constitution and a Bill of Rights second to none, so we adults must not fail in our duty to preserve the freedoms and liberties we enjoy, for the benefit of generations to come. Let us rededicate ourselves to the spirit of Christ, and thus rejuvenate the spirit of Americanism handed down to us, by our fore fathers." U. S. Marine Hospital, Ellis Island, will be shuttered by Washington in February, with all patients and some personnel being switched to Marine hospital at Staten Island and Manhattan Beach. Just recently the Government surveyed the Ellis Island hospital as a possible outlet for atom bomb victims, but the economy wave washed that out. . . . Navy job at Hungnam a fantastic epic of American organization and Yankee “know-how.” Failure of Russia to commit planes and sub marines, in an attempt to achieve a paralyzing coup, indicates the Kremlin has become fearful ... So the Americans who didn’t have a Chinaman’s chance got off the Hungnam beachhead, under their own power, and with a minimum of losses. At Harrisburg, Pa., a reporter telephoned Mrs. Clara Smith of Mid dleburg, Pa., to acquaint her with the shocking news that her son, Pfc. Robert L. Smith, had suffered the loss of both arms and both legs in Korea . . . The mother fainted ... It seems to this reporter that the Harrisburg reporter might have availed himself of more thoughtful measures. In World War n, we campaigned for measures more tender than a terse Western Union death notice. Many communities adopted the suggestion that the local clergyman always accompany the bearer of news that, at best, was heartbreaking. This Harrisburg instance points up the necessity for tenderness to relieve stark cruelty. Gen. George C. Marshall 70 on Sunday . . . Hopalong Cassidy to south America next week . . . Composer Emmerich Kalman suffered a stroke . . . Copa’s Judy Tyler and Colin Rlmoff honeymooning . . . Bill Miller's brother died after rallying from his auto crash injuries. . . .

Along with the burning of books, in Budapest, the Commies now have outlawed such dances as “samba, rumba, Congo,” because of “capitalist reflection.” One of the books burned was “Cinderella.” Others: “Snow White” and “Moby Dick." ...

George j Shearing’s MOM platter, “Pick Yourself Up,” winning raves. Mete by Bob ■ Hope Britain and Hollywood get together. Yes, sir, Irene Dunne jias just portrayed Queen Victoria in a movie, and both Gertrude Lawrence and Vivian Leigh played Southern belles in recent pictures. If this continues, we may see Clark Gable as Disraeli, Spike Jones as Sir Thomas Beecham, and Bing Crosby as The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street. American and British films have mych in common, but the love scenes are still different. In an American movie, the hero knows the horoine for only a few reels before he is apt to say: 'Tm nuts about you, baby. I can’t live with out you. Let’s get hitched.” But the British movie lover says: “Daphne, I’ve admired you for 27 years. I hope you won’t think me presumptuous, but I’d like your per mission to speak to your father about us.” Our movie makers have a fair trade agreement with the British. We send them three of our actors for every Sydney Greenstreet. Funeral Directory Mrs. Emma H. Gilbert, 77, died in Salisbury Thursday afternoon.
