• LET US NOT FORGET
The is over, and most of the young
men and women who took part in it have
come home. And all of us are glad that this
is so.
Let us not, however, forget that there
are still men and women wearing American
uniforms in the far corners of the earth.
Let us not forget that there are many,
many thousands of young men who have
not come home, and who never will come
home. They are the ones who made victory
possible by giving their lives.
Let us not forget that there are many,
many thousands of young men who will
spend the rest of their lives in wheel chairs,
on crutches, or in hospitals because “To
morrow the World” was the
of the fascists and because the Japanese
dreamed of world domination.
And let us not forget that it is the Red
Cross which is still “the greatest mother of
them all,” ministering to the needs of our
youth in camps and hospitals throughout
America and in the lands across the sea.
A dollar contributed to the Red Cross is
a dollar given to the greatest constructive
organization in the world. It is a dollar in
vested in youth. It is your way of saying
that you are with American servicemen
wherever they are located and whatever
their duties may be.
According to latest reports, the Red
Cross drive here has not even reached the
half-way mark yet. Give today!

• FOLGER DECIDES TO QUIT
Surprise greeted the sudden announce
ment in Washington last week by Repre
sentative John H. Folger that he will not
be a candidate for reelection to the House
"if other persons file for the post.” Mr.
Folger ,who has been a member of Con
gress since 1941, has already paid his fil
ing fee, but at this writing his statement
that he will not run if opposed still stands
even though Thurmond Chatham of Win
ston-Salem and Elkin has announced his
candidacy.
Friends of Mr. Folger throughout the
Fifth District—and they are marly—regret
that he will not be a candidate for reelec
tion. He has made an enviable record as
an able and liberal Congressman. Should
he stand by his announcement not to run
again, his successor, whoever he may be,
will indeed have a hard time filling the
post as acceptably as Mr. Folger has done.

• DR. L. E, SPIKES
The selection of Dr. L. E. Spikes as the
new president of Eastern Carolina Teach
ers College was, in the opinion of this
paper, an excellent one. Dr. .Spikes is well
qualified to fill the position and more than
that he will fill it in away that all con
berned will be proud of.
A very careful checking of all records
will prove in no uncertain way that this
man has done his job well on.each and ev
ery occasion, and that goes from his col
lege days until now. His record of things
. accomplished is a clean sheet. But—more
than that, or as much anyway, Dr. Spikes
has always been a clean upright citizen.
Os course he has not yet accepted the
position but it is understood that he will
and we can see a new era for the Green
ville college.

• NOTE TO CORRESPONDENTS
The Courier-Times regrets that, because
of limitations of space, it- is not always
possible for us to publish everything we
would like to publish. In Thursday’s paper,
for example, contributions of several cor
respondents had to be left out simply be
cause there was no room for them. We wish
to assure these correspondents that their
contributions will be carried as soon as
possible, and we solicit the continued co
operation of all in our endeavor to publish
all worthwhile news as quickly, accurate

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
• CANNOT BE ANTI TO ANY NATION.
Smithfield-Herald.
The UNO cannot succeed if it is to be
an anti-Russian organization. It cannot
succeed if it is to be an instrument for pre
serving the British Empire with all its in
justices.
Fewer Churchill speeches and more dem
onstrations that UNO is not established to
destroy communism or protect any nation
in the pursuit of imperialistic courses are
needs of the hour in the figljt for peace.

• DIPLOMATS ARE HUMAN
Anderson (S. C.) Independent.
The little people—the mothers, the sons,
the fathers, the daughters—can only wait
and place their faith in the diplomats.
It is a great pity that the millions who
want peace in Russia, Britain, the United
States, China and all other nations still
find themselves at the mercy of policy
makers who, despite a flock of good inten
tions, are fallible humans after all.

• ROMANCE IN BRICK
Morgan ton News-Herald
Reports say that the nation is on the
verge of the greatest vacationing impulse
it has ever experienced.
Relief from restraint is a good thing, but
let’s hope there is one old-fashioned Amer
ican traveler they keep at home: the wand
ering correspondent with the rose-colored
glasses who sees nostalgic beauty in anci
ent piles of brick.
The trouble with that type is that he only
reads the surface. If he stayed long enough
he would change his time: he would hear
the rats whisking through the chapters of
antiquity.

not wise legislators that would have im
proved the measure. But nobody wants' to
retire the able men whose experience has
increased their usefulness.
Now, if Congressmen will deny to them
selves and those in executive or military
positions the increases asked we may look
for a balanced budget. The next bill to kill

• WANTED: A STRIKE CURE
South Boston News
In spite of the fact that for the past four
years strikes hampered the war effort and
are absolutely disrupting reconversion ef
forts and the full production which alone
can save this country from inflation, no
formula has been evolved and enacted into
law which would avert strikes or minimize
them.
It is not too much to say that the future
peace and security of the United States de
pends upon the enactment of some legisla
tion, fair to both sides, which would keep
essential industries and essential services
going by averting strikes. It seems to us
that compulsory arbitration before a medi
ation board chosen from labor, manage
ment and the general public should have
authority to settle the issues that cause
strikes. A continuation of the present poli
cies can only end in economic disaster for
all of us.

corn seed must have a germination
