SCHOOL GROUNDS NO PLACE FOR SHOWS
This editorial is not written in criticism of any
body; but merely to call attention to a few salient fact
that may have been overlooked. Now that the circu
of last spring is over; and now that the carnival of las
week has come and gone, we wish to point out that th<
campus of a school is not the proper place for sucl
, things.
In the first place, schools are usually located nea:
where are situated the homes of a good many citizens
and these things constitute a nuisance to the nearby
wHrkco ricrhtjc shmilH hp taken into consider?
I COlUCll UOj TV 1IUUV/ A VW MAAW ?W ? ?
tion.
In the second place, all such performances take f
lot of money outof a community, that is needed to pa?
the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick-maker?
money that usually comes from people who need it fo]
other purposes. (But, after all, perhaps that is thei]
affair, and not ours.)
In the third place, these things are always accom
panied by elements that do not .have a good effect upon
the morals of a community. Gambling devices anc
gambling dens operate in open and flagrant violatior
of the laws of the State, and are engaged in by young
and old, by grown men and women and by children
whose natural gambling instincts are cultivated. (Bui
perhaps, that is something that could be taken ir
charge by the officers of the law.)
In the fourth place, it is beneath the dignity of ar
educational institution to harbor this kind of thing
upon its campus. It cheapens the entire educationa
system in the eyes of the people to see the grounds o:
an institution that stands for cultural developmenl
used for these performances.
In the fifth place (and this is the " ^dr r^or
which we think that the matter is wormy 01 an editorial
in a dignified newspaper) we shudder to think o:
the possible effect upon the health of the community
Here great numbers of people are brought together
and the nerformers and attendants spend the day*
and nights in a place where there are no toilet facilities,
no provisions made for sanitation. As a consequence,
the grounds become polluted. In a few day*
the children will be playing on those same grounds
This brings into being a distinct menace to the health
of these children. Summing it all up, The Journal ha*
arrived at the inevitable conclusion that the ground*
of our schools should not be used for these purposes.
For a good many years the town of Sylva entirely
banned these shows and carnivals from the town. I]
we are to throw down the bars and let them in again
some more appropriate place should be found than th<
campus of our school.
NEAR TREASON IN HIGH PLACES
Last week, The Journal had some very pointec
remarks to make about the CIO. We are still of the
same opinion regarding that organization. It and ifc
methods have no place in our life, especially in sucl
times as those through which we are passing. It shoulc
not be tolerated in this part of the country; and prob
ably will not. 1
However, there is a story, revealed to a Senate In
vestigating Committee, the other day, that make;
the CIO appear as a piker in sit-dawn strikes. Th<
names are not given, because the wrath of the Amer
ican people would probably be so great as to make i
dangerous for these men. A group of manufacturer;
has refused to begin the manufacturer of munition;
of war, vital to our national defense, until the new tas
bill, which is to raise money with which to provide ad
quate defense of American institutions, is written int<
law. In other words, these manufacturers have stagec
a sit-down strike against our Government, in an effor
, to force it to enact a tax bill that will let them go a
nearly scot free from paying part of the national bil
as is possible. We can think of nothing, in this time o
great danger to all of us, to our country, to our institu
tions, to our freedom, that comld be more reprehensi
ble than the action of these manufacturers unless it'b
out-right treason; and their action is almost treason
able.
Another storyy that is sordid is that about ;
group of industrialists meeting, a few weeks ago, witl
T> ttprhnrdt A WPatrick, trade counsellor of the Ger
man Embassy, and going over plans for trade agree
ments with Germany, as soon as Britain is conquered
