C. As Second Class Matter • APRIL 1, 1946 *» : —- • SPRING IS CLEANUP TIME ; It’s Spying, and Spring is cleanup time. Many a housewife is now in the process of giving her home and yards a thorough going-over, using, if she is tactful, the serv ices of her reluctant husband in this back breaking work. Closets which have not seen the light of day for many months will be opened, aired and cleaned. Spider webs which have grown up in remote corners will be swept down. Household furniture will be moved around and rearranged. And when the whole job is done, there will be an air of newness, of freshness, about the place such as it perhaps has not had since last spring. Cleaning up is hard work. But, in away, it’s fun too. As you examine and move the various articles in the house and in the yard, you never know what you will find next. In this drawer is a letter which came months ago, which you wanted to save be cause you value the sentiment expressed in iti but which you were afraid you had lost until today, cleanup time. In the basement, perhaps, you will find Johnnie’s long-lost bAseball. And so it goes. You discover old things which have been lost so long that they seem like new. * All the effort which the patient house wife expends on cleaning up is fully reward ed. When the job is done, she can look around and survey her domain with as much pride as any Charlemagne, any Caes ar, any Emperor ever knew. She can show off her castle and her yards to her friends and neighbors, and glow with self-satisfac tion as she listens to their compliments. Such cleaning up at each individual house gives the whole community an improved appearance, and all of us—except the house wife, who did most of the work —are so pleased with the results that we wish Spring would come more often. And citizens of Roxboro are inclined to wish that we had a housewife or two in our city administra tion, so that the business of cleaning up the town, and keeping it clean, could and would be carried out just as energetically as it is in private homes. o • RECREATION AND THE FUTURE Dr. Harold D. Meyer, chairman of the North Carolina Recreation Commission, who will discuss recreation here Friday night at a joint meeting of the Person County Council of Social Agencies, Rotary, Kiwanis, Exchange, and Business and Pro fessional Women’s clubs, comes to Roxboro and Person County with a timely message at an opportune time. Members of the Council of Social Agencies have been study ing recreation for several months, and their interest in the subject is now very great. They hope to arouse enough enthusiasm to plan and carry out a program to in crease recreational opportunities for both old and young in this area. With the war over, and with the crying need for increased local recreational facili ties now more obvious than it has ever been before, this is the time for the whole com munity to put forth its best efforts in be half of such a program. The Presbyterian, Baptist and Methodist churches are to be commended for the attempts they have m#de along this line, in the form of Satur day night parties for young people of Rox boro and surrounding area. But leaders of these three churches would be the first to admit that their program is not the com plete answer to the problem. The coopera tion of every public-spirited citizen is neces sary to begin and to continue a community wide movement for more and better recrea tion. Do we need a public swimming pool? A park? More tennis courts? Bowling al leys? More dramatic and music programs? Other types of recreation ? Let all citizens who care about the welfare Os our boys and gi rte ask themselves these questions. And then let each citizen go further and ask himself, What am 1 as an individual willing te do to give to our boys and girls these things ? On the answer to that question de- pends, to a large extent, the future of Rox boro and of Person County. , o *——; — • LET’S BE READY WHEN TtlE BAN IS LIFTED Just now we believe there is well over half a million dollars in the way of build ing ready to be launched here at this time, but the late order of Housing Administra tor Wilson W. Wyatt puts a stop to most of this, for, we regret to say, very little of this amount of building here was intended for homes for veterans. Os coursey when you have selected your plans and are just about ready to ask the contractor for his best price, to pick up your favorite news paper and see where you can not build scarcely anything except it is for the vet eran, you just kinder want to say ugly words. Still it is like the OPA with the ceil ing control. Probably none of the alphabeti cal departments has been as universally disliked as the OPA, and yet everyone at all cognizant of the many blessings which have followed the OPA will say that it has been the salvation of this country. The condi tions today would be appalling if there had been no control of prices. So with looking out for the comfort of the veterans —they should have first consideration, even though you would like to have a more com fortable and up-to-date home. However, there really is no real reason why the town or city should be disturbed by this ruling, for it is not going to be many months before most of the ceiling prices and restrictions will be removed, and then if you have made vour plans you can go right ahead with them. Rest assured when everything is ready for this country to pro ceed at its fullest, we will hear the hum of the saw and the rat-tap of the hammer. Just bide your time for a short while. _o • OFF THE RECORD ♦.W imm i ■!'» iima» ri »Lß»MßaßMtaMißw,aMeMr»* Why is it that almost every great, and near great, when in talking with a crowd or even addressing a meeting, will close with the adjutation, “this is off the record.” Recently we heard an address, and it was seall.v a worthwhile, great speech, worthy of the man who made it, and in closing he warned that it was “off the record.” This address was delivered to one of our civic clubs, and in lieu of asking that nothing be said, or perhaps it would be better stated, that he be not quoted, he should have asked the newspaper men present to publish it in the interest of mankind, feut that is the way of. our public men today ; they want to keep it secret —why, no one knows. o WHAT OTHERSS ARE SAYING • SUGGESTS GARDNER FOB PRESIDENT The Shelby Star Julius C. Smith, prominent Greensboro attorney, who knows his way around in politics, said yesterday while in Shelby for a hearing in Federal Court that Tar Heels generally share with Shelbians a feeling of pride in the elevation of 0. Max Gardner to the acting secretaryship of the Treasury. But Mr. Smith thinks the appointment doesn’t go far enough—he thinks a move ment in project Governor Gardner lor the Presidency. Unless some man of the Gardner caliber is nominated by the Demo crats in 1948, as Mr. Smith sees it, the next President is likely to be a Republican. o • TRAVEL AND BUS STATIONS Oxford Public Ledger The stock excuse for neglect and poor service during the past four or five years has been “blame it on the war.” That excuse has been overworked by ev eryone, and the public is beginning to show an eagerness to resist by asking pertinent questions. One wholesome sign is that the North Carolina Utilities Commission is speaking out, after too much silence, in behalf of the traveling public. Orders for new bus sta tions at Henderson and Chapel Hill, and an order closing the station at Hickory, have been given by the Commission. It was such an order that finally brought a modern sta tion for Oxford. Bus lines have become a vital link in the nation’s transportation system. They are indispensable in North Carolina. They are organized and operated on a permanent, business-like basis. Why, then, should not the operators be required to provide ade quate and comfortable waiting stations for all patrons? The public is beginning to clamor for more evidences of good service; more evi dences that those, engaged in serving the public are intensely interested in going the limit. The actions of the Utilities Commission should portend a day of better accommoda tions at bus line waiting stations. THE COURIE&TIM&S • JUDGMENT CONTUSED 4 , Greensboro Daily News V: The Daily News frankly confesses that it’s not sufficiently military-minded to grasp the full significance of a national guard for North Carolina of three times pre-war size. For the moment we prefer to defer to the judgment of Governor Gregg Cherry, who endorses the'movement, and await results. But we can see in a national guard of the size indicated, if other members of the union show a like interest in the undertak ing, a real curb on the' army caste system sij many former soldiers aVe inveighing against. A citizen soldiery such as the na tional guard develops little of caste. Indeed there have been suggestions ' before ahd during the last two "wars that North Caro lina’s guardsmen were not conscious enough of caste to be made promptly into profes sional soldiers. A military establishment of almost 12,000 men and officers, however, is not to be un dertaken lightly by even . North Carolina.

I. disappointment was registered. Ordinarily, sports equipment would be as welcome as the first cherry blossoms—but in this case occupation troops wore hungrily awaiting mail already a month old. Nearly* 1,000,000 additional pieces of air mail would have Weighed no more than the athletic equipment. General MacArthur now has ordered all soldier mail to move by air from both sides of the Pacific, even at the expense of cargo and passenger traffic. But the. Durham Victory’s arrival after the speed-up only emphasized how badly mail service had deteriorated, and how seriously the rapid demobilization of naval and military pilots continues to hamper efforts to serve those who cannot come home. ffIpARD OF THANKS We wish to take this method to thank the many friends who were so thoughtful in their many acts of kindness during the illness and death of our husband and father.
