Muzzle Those Air Rifles Chief of Police George Arthur Jackson has issued a very timely warning to children and parents alike against the use of air rifles in the Town of Dunn * To shoot an air rifle in the Town of Dunn is a clear Violation of the law. While it can not be held always as y deadly weapon, its use is certainly an instrument against the public welfare and safety of citizens. During recent months, a number of accidents growing £t of the use of air rifles have been reported here During Christmas holidays, a Dunn child came neai to losing the sight in one of his eyes. tT The police department ought not to find it necessary try issue a warning against the use of air rifles. 7/ It is the duty of parents to guard closely to see that ttteir children do not use such weapons which prove harm -101 to the public. . ZZ Air rifles are sold on toy counters, but it is difficult to £ard an instrument that does so much damage and ses so much suffering and misery as merely a toy. S Think it over, Parents.

These Days ' ; • - "• •tOMI 1 NMUkV Columbia University is where I started on this travail of writing some 30 years ago and I am fond of it and loyal to it. It is a big place with all sorts of activities, about which no one can know everything. For instance, there is a place there called “Com munication Materials Center,” which issues Columbia University educat ional films. This office has issue* a catalogue of films on Russia. Why 'the University is th the film business, I do not know, but I find that American universities spread like toasted cheese. To all this, I can only say that if Colum bia can make a buck, that is all to the good in these times. However, I read this in the cat alogue of aims: ‘Election day in the USSR’ “How elections arc carried out in the U.S.S.R. by direct suffrage and secret ballot. The film De gins with fln appeal by Stalin on February 9, 1946, for a full vote on election day. The camera has re corded farmers, actors, soldiers and travelers across the breadth of the Soviet Union as 100,000,000 people go to the polls. It provides an ex tremely interesting glimpse at el ection methods in the Soviet Un ion.” Now this is straight Soviet prop aganda and is based on the lie tnat there is an election in Russia. How can there be an election if only one set of candidates is per mitted on the the ballot? An elec tion involves a choice. How can there be a choice with only one list of candidates? I find no record as to who pro duced this rilm. Some other interesting titles in the catalogue are “One Day Iq Soviet Russia," "Peoples .Os The .Soviet Union," "Rebirth ojHStadifi-2 grad, ’ "Spotlight On The teMrflllf** 1 it is obvious from the explanatory notes that all these filths we de signed to show off Soviet Aussia as a wounderful place of ha;jp> fo'ks, with the imprimatur of Columbia University, as though the University has taken the pictures and approv ed of them, which is not so. Why do American universities I engage in this sort Os thing? If the Russians want to do propaganda in this country, let them do it in their own name and undei their own auspices. For instance, loot at this one, “Children Os Russia': “You wouldn’t expect to are a dramatisation of our Americap Huck Finn In this film but it’s there because it is included In the Russian school curriculum. In this film we see how the Russian child ren go so school . . .garden . . .play parade . . . visit musems and art galleries . . . and live in the summer pioneer camps, comparable to our. youth camping programs." Hie children of most countries go to school, play in the garden, visit museums and galleries. They do it every day in the united States. Millions of children go to school, join Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, and have all sorts of activities. So, what Is the pol vf? There isn’t any, except that some say of T the ordinary events of life that they are wounderful- even amazing, | because they occur in Soviet Rub- • jla. In the United States, they are 1 ordinary; in Russia, they ST6 amaz-.! ing. And therefore, it is necessary to put them on a propaganda film, 1 issue them by a university and give j the impression that they are amaz- i ing. { None of this » related to scholar- t sflip. It, used to he that' our un iversities devoted themselves to the] search for objective truth. The professors were, perhaps, regarded as fogies who lived hi ivory towers, but they delved into source mater ial, checked their data, wrote pain stakingly and taught inspiringty. Today, many professors compete for popularity and prefer the gla mor of being modem to the re straints of being truthful. In courses in history, polities, govern ment and the Social sciences gen erally, too many professors lend to be so current that they are oven journalistic. Thus, they mbs their vocation and do not contribute much to knowledge. In addition, many uh-1 THE DAILY RECORD, DUNN, N. C. L 11 ■ V - . ...F 11 ■11 1 .- SBW--.'

St~ Sftuo Mete by bob ■ Hope BARBS ACROSS THE SEA . . Yes. sir, a minor trans-atlantic feud Is raging between the President and some British tailors who claim Truman’s clothes are not in tne height of fashion. President Truman was going to reply that Americans are the world’s best dressed men. Then he saw a picture of Crosby. Most Americans think Harry’s clothes are extremenly neat, but the Republicans didn’t like his style during the last Presidential election. That’s when he was way out in front. And Truman still has the GOP guessing. They’re wondering whether he’ll wear his hat in ’B2—or throw it into the ring. But Senator Taft is one Republican who isn’t interested in Harry’s suits. He’d just like to try the White House on for size. Os course, it’s rally tough eto have a conservative suit made In Washington The red tape gets into everything. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM TO THE EDITOR: Since I am a citizen of Dunn I am somewhat interested in the mpending controversy over our form' of government. t I understand that a petition, to* been submitted to our lotto %»Sy Board asking that the"issUe 6e placed before the citizens foi\ an other vote. In my opinion this is a deliberate attack on our present city manager and the “petition toters" are willing to sacrifice the city manager form of government In order to get rid of the presept city manager. I am neither upholding or con demning this form of government because I don’t feel that it has been given a satisfactory trial ip our town. We must remember that we have had only two managers thus far, the first Mr. Storey who is a very nice gentleman was fl|evated from the ranks of our present city employees and I don’t believe that he pretended or sold himself >8 ail expert on vity managing and he probably acted wisely in in not of fering any drastic reforms because he knew that the “petition Inters’' would soon put the noose around his neck. Our second city manager, a stranger in our community has advised several new reforms. I am not upholding nor condemning these reforms because I feel that our local board is the only group who should know the true value Os these Contest Continued From Page One Use extreme importance of devot ing every possible spare hour to earnest, eonsciencious solicitation of non-subscribers to the Record as well as renewals of present-sub scribers.

In my oplnon scone of the peti tioners orobably have grievances toward the city manager because they are ’ old home town boys” and shouldn't bq subjected to reforms or penalties like the stranger, in our community. I understand that there was considerable grumbling about the city tags. In the early part of December I sent after my city tag and was informed that I could not per the tag without my car registration card and ,1 com plained considerably but finally produced this card and obtained my city tag. A few days later 1 noticed in the paper that tjils was optional and that the purpose of the move was to facilitate the securing of a stolen car by having your car license number along with your city tag. I , finally decided that this would be a definite ad vantage without too much trouble It appears to me that our town board has been, ignored in this crusade. I have never heard-of these “petition toters” trying to gel rid of the most damnable-disgrace in the history of our town.the s< caned Jury system in our local court. I have seen no petition attempting to abolish Illicit liquor selling in and around oar town, nor have 3 heard of a definite attempt tc support our Chamber of Commerce In. securing new lnterprlses for our town.

That explains why the usually sedate Senate Caucus Boom resembled a 10-ceat store. It also indicates why each Senator walked out with a plastic spoon, a transparent Jewel box for his col lar buttons, and a soup tureen that looked Uke sterling silver, but was lot. When dropped, It bounced. Only exception was Sen. William 3enton <D., Conn.) who got tWo Jewel boxes. Whether this means that ho has more diamonds than other Senators I don’t know; it may be that he wanted these fancy packages to hold bolts and nuts. The trouble seems to be that most piostir articles, from baby pants to Icebox doors, are made of styrene. This also turns out to be | the main ingredient of synthetic tires. When the government order ed more tires, it meant fewer non breakable . teacups. This is threat ening to. put many of the plastic x>ys out of business. So they came to see whether the Senate Small business Committee could help them get more powder to press into merchandise. Across the mighty mahogany tables of the Senators the plastics makers spread out clothespins, toothbrushes, mixing bowls, drink ing glasses, refrigerator parts, flash lights, fine-tooth combs, butter plates, pencil boxes, electric fans, cake dishes with lids, pill boxes, generator covers, distributor heads, and yellow, pink, green, and blue stirrers for highballs. Each Senator was pleased to find! at his seat his spoon of white plas tic wrapped in Cellophane and-his see-through box for Jewels, wrap ped in ditto. The Jouncing sliver tureens were a surprise, to come later.' It turned out that the plastics business started soon after the Civil War when there was a short age of African ivory for billiard balls. The industry then spread to celluloid collars for neat dressers and after the jpst war increased by leaps and also bounds. A procession of presidents of plastics companies, mostly youth ful, said they’d be delighted to go into war production at once, but so fdr no soap. Nearly all their bids have been turned down. Later they expect the war business to boom, but until it does they said they'd >ltiie-to-May out of bankruptcy by manufacturing their usual line. Came George S. Nalle, Jr., pres ident of Nalle Plastics, Inc., of Austin, Tex, a curly-haired young fellow who said 'that as soon as he was liberated by the Air Force he, went- tala'- business with bis., fa ther making unbreakable dinner plates, clothespins, strawberry bas kets, fishing lures, wall tile, waller glasses, book marks, and house couid be secured. Ttiis Ik not a hard task as many people will -reacHy sign a petition. I also believe that the city form government is "undemocratic” and this Is an In teresting observation as citizens of Fayetteville and Raleigh have re cently overwhelmingly endorsed this form of government. If we reject the city manager form of government I would "niff to see our commissioners get SSO to SIOO per month In order to compensate for their loss of time from their other occupation. I feel that our town commissioners should issue a statement either en dorsing or condemning this form of government and that We recognize their opinion and authority and Ignore group* that have petty greiv enees aimed at our present city manager. , ' Dr. C.
