Now would be the ideal time to let the Communists take control of the country ?if only to see how they'd divide up the $11,000,000,000 deficit.?Judge. College Education High school students who this week are members of graduating classes at our five consolidated high schools in Brunswick county should be encouraged by teachers and parents in their resolve to continue their education. Commencement speakers no doubt will j drive home to their audience the importance of education in the battle for busi- , ness supremacy, and these warnings are ( not to be taken lightly. 1 Sometimes, however, these speakers in their enthusiasm give the impression that , higher education is to be desired only be- cause it will enable boys and girls to go ( forth from their home surroundings and . conquer the world. They overlook the } fact that it is important that they con- ( tinue their education in order that they ] may return to their homes and make ( their community a better place in which ( to live. , We wish that every high school senior ( in Brunswick county could enter some , North Carolina college or university this ] fall; but we should like to see them edu- , cated for their home community?not ] away from it. , The No. 1 Spot Every red-blooded American citizen , feels a justifiable pride in the remarkable record being made by the United States Bureau of Investigation, agents for whom are familiarly known as G-Men. Just as it was beginning to appear that' the better element of our nation was ready to admit that it was unable to cope with gangster forces the bureau sprang into being. One by one the names of big shots of the criminal world were promoted to the Public Fnemv Nn 1 snot, and iust as often these I men have been taken. A1 Capone, John Dillinger, "Machine Gun" Kelly, "Pretty Boy" Floyd?they all were victims of the dauntless federal agents. Citizens who formerly had felt a shameless admiration for the daring of bank robbers and murderers whose names had been glorified in the headlines of American newspapers soon were pulling for the G-Men, and Melvin Purvis, capturer of John Dillinger, and J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the United States Bureau of Investigation, are new national heroes. The federal agents have just about wiped out the list of famous criminals still at large and recently captured three claimants to the Public Enemey No. 1.1 title within a week. Truly, the forces of law and order are' making things uncomfortable for crimi-j nals of all classes. A Marauder There's an intruder who enters homes by stealth and leaves them in ruins. He creates fire where there is no fire? by spontaneous ignition. Spontaneous ignition is one of the leading causes of our tremendous annual fire loss. Yet, a little information in the hands of the property-owner enables him to easily banish this intruder. The most common causes of spontaneous ignition fires are cleaning mops and cloths, floor cleaning compounds, pafrit-stained clothing, rags and oily waste. It takes but little imagination to picture the serious fire that can develop if a pile of paint-stained clothing or rags is left lying alongside of cans of paint in the basement, an empty THE STATE P room or a closet. When flames spring up the paint itself will be involved. The National Board states that rags or litter saturated with fish oils, linseed oil, soy bean oil or cotton seed pressings are particularly susceptible to spontaneous ignition because practically all vegetable and animal oils have a tendency to oxidize and heat up. Oxygen only is then required for flames to develop. Daiiy feeds containing the vegetable: oils mentioned and wheat middlings, oats,' barley, distilled grains, hay and similar v j fodder are also subject to spontaneous ig-; nition if they become damp and are not b properly stored with provision for ventilation. Recognizing these dangers the property owner can take steps to prevent spontan- n eous ignition fires. If paint or oil-satura- e ted clothing or rags must be kept tempo- a rarily, all air should be excluded from them in order to keep out oxygen. This can be accomplished by placing them in fi a tightly closed metal container. Quanti- ? ties of floor cleaning compounds that have a been used should be disposed of at once. b In the interest of safety to life and property, let us banish the intruder that y performs such damaging miracles of chemical magic. hj si Ruined Roads hi This season, an unusual amount of at- hi tention is being directed to the road damage caused by heavy trucks. Reports from er all over the country chronicle the tremendous repair bills the public must meet to econdition its highways. jot Here, for example, is an excerpt from tr an editorial in the Binghampton, New 71 Fork, Press: "What the overland trucks did to the second-class highways of this and other counties over which they were ~ outed in detouring high water?is dis- no closed in a highly significant survey by ne Broome County Highway officials. The rounty and towns will pay a repair bill pr )f approximately $35,000 because trucks ne rt eighing as much as 22 tons were routed aver macadam and combination roads ]y still heaving with the spring thaw. Three ar bridges must be replaced in one town; ha acores of culverts were broken by the ^ heavy loads; the state's new farm-tomarket road between East Maine and Endwell is practically ruined . . The tax- ra payers of this state will foot the bill." 'ar Comparable damage in North Carolina 811 I 01 could be cited, resulting from abnormal ai use of public roads by commercial car- in riers. Trucks and busses have a logical w place in the nation's transportation sys- 01 tern but they should pay for extraordinary destruction they cause to the roads. b* Modern trucks are almost as large as ?* railroad freight cars and normal public ai highways are not built to carry such weight. It is unfair to force the general ^ taxpayer and automobile owner to pro-jai vide and maintain roads for such com- 01 mercial traffic. Over-burdened taxpayers U1 will demand a more equitable adjustment of this situation. ** P' as Malaria Control ^ While much is now known about the cause and spread of malaria?the anopheles mosquito?its control remains a l difficult as well as a perennial problem. The mosquito and the house fly are said & to be the two remaining insect pests that S' affect human health and happiness to^ any great extent for which no perma- w nent and definite control has been found. However, enough is known about malaria G control which if applied rigorously and ^ persistently will greatly reduce the incidence as well as the severity of the dis- " ease. ie In addition to cooperating in the pro- n gram of malaria control that is sponsored by the State Board of Health, the ob-|" servance of the more easy and yet prac-i tical methods of controlling malaria is e urged by malaria experts. These include!* ditching, draining, filling-in, straightening; , streams, oiling stagnant pools, covering < dump heaps, screening houses and rain- ^ barrels, keeping rain gutters open, stocking lily pools with fish and minnows, and a spraying. |? Pyrethrum sprays are recommended as 8 being among the most effective, the ingredients to be had from local druggists. ^ This spray used in large quantities two hours in advance would repel mosquitoes^ 1 at out-door gatherings such as barbecues, ( picnics and camping parties. i The treatment of malaria should always be under the direction of a physi- ^ ^ian. |\ ORT PILOT, SOUTHPORT, N FANCIES and FACTS Something New, Something j Old, Something different (By Carter Burke) Some married men would like j /ind-shields behind the front seat j "Do you know what your troule is?"
