ments against uie uuuiiaic
ization of medical care. Efficient,
prompt and competent treatment
are the cardinal requisites of a
successful medical system.
S, Everett W. Jones, head hospital
1 consultant of the War Production
y Board, in opposing compulsory
C hospital insurance under governf
ment management, comments,
J. that: "Federal agencies cannot'
* hope to approach private initiav
tive and enterprise in efficient
f: management." After working fif- j
8 teen months in Washington, he
| says: "I have no delusions left
t as to the efficiency of govern^
mental agencies. Delay and red
5' tape just can't be eliminated in
any political organization as giV
gantic as our Federal govern *
ment. The record speaks for it;
self."
S
The more gifts and services
'! people demand of government,
the more complex and inefficient j
} it becomes. There are those who
; think the government should supply
everything but eternal life
At the same time, they com-1
plain of growing bureaucracy and'
taxation. They forget that our
govA-nnient1' is a political organ.
Ization never intended to manage
the personal or business affairs
. of its citizens. Shifting the responsibility
of medical care to
goxernment would not simplify
? the health problems of the in"
dividual. It would add to them
t } by the destruction of medical efi
ficiency and further pyramiding
or Dureaucracy.
Better This
| Than That
f For the past two years Washington,
the Capitol of the United
jj States, has often been described
f as a 'Madhouse". Comparing- it
n with Berlin, the seat of German
g government, it is far better that I
| Washington be this than that.
Berlin has been bombed a full
B 90 times. She has had everya
thing from token and small scale
I raids on up to the tempo attained
last week when a thousand
huge four motored aircraft
. gave her all they had for several
nights in succession. Last week
more than a third of Berlin, a
is city of some six million people,
, was destroyed. The Germans
themselves admitted that tweni
ty-five thousand people were killed
on one of last week's raids.
The deaths probably exceeded
that by a great many thousands
and Germany, like Japan, has
been prone to claim victories
when she had no victories, and
small losses when they really
were great.
The worst for Berlin has not
yet come. The proud seat of
German government and culture,
above which Hitler proudly acclaimed
no hostile plane would
ever fly, has only seen the beginning
of what the German
people now know will be complete
destruction. They have already
observed what happened
to Hamburg and other German
cities and they know well that
the Allies now have the power
to carry the same thing to Berlin,.
If Washington is now a madhouse
we would far rather see it
that way, than to see it as Berlin
Is.
Japan Will Be Next
While the American people are
being cautioned against undue
optimism there is a general belief
that the coming year, perhaps
the early months of It, will

When Germany is out it will

Japan from the beginning. The

solidly aligned with the United
States and England and all three
great powers will have the crushing

on their program. The Japs who
think it a honor to die for their
emperor will do well to begin to
prepare to die soon.

there is an increase of 25 to 50
per cent in the small grain crop
acreage. He is rather strong
believer in small grain on the
Brunswick county farm lands
during the winter. Such crops,
harvested early in the farming
year, permit the growing of other
crops on the same lands. Lespedeza,
soy beans and sweet potatoes
are fine crops to follow immediately
after small grain.
Jimmie Hawes, secretary of the,
AAA at Supply, reports that
Brunswick farmers have been fur- '
nished with sixty thousand pounds I
of seed of winter legume crops. I
Since such seed are small and I
comnarativelv light in weight, the I
conclusion is reached that there
has heen a heavy planting of
legumes on Brunswick county
farm lands this fall and winter.
With an eye to a home after
the war, Carl Mays, of Wilmington,
has bought 75 acres of . fertile
woodland from Mrs. Maria Goodman
in North West township.
This spring and summer 25 acres
were cleared and used for various
crops and have now been sown
to rye and Austrian Winter Peas.
On what was all woodland, Mr.
Mays should have a fine little
home and farm site with the
coming of another spring.
M. M. Nichols, of Wilmington,
has also bought land from Mrs.
Goodman, situated in Town Creek
township. He is now engaged in
improving his newly acquired property.
