Make The Candidates Work HK old-fashioned political rally with its long speeches, big dinners and free drink is ridi culed by many today. No doubt the speeches were long, filled mostly with trite phrases and promises designed to appeal to the individual's emotions and particular desires, rather than furnish a constructive governmental program. Also, those attending were probably more interested in the food aud drink than the speeches. However, in view of the lack of interest and apathy of present office seekers, particularly local candidates, we wonder if a few "old-lashioned ral lies" by both parties wouldn't l>e beneficial. Despite the buffoonery and sham connected with such meetings, there would be several healthy re sults produced by bringing the candidates closer to the public. First, candidates will explain how they plan to carry out the administration of the job they are seeking. Although, at least half of what they say may be only "campaign promises", the voter will have a lietter chance to know where the candidates stand on sj>ecific issues. If the office seeker fails completely to keep his word it may be remembered at the next election. Second, by creating interest in the campaign it will cause more people to vote. The fact that we rarely ever have more than sixty-five i>er cent of the voting population taking part in any election is the most glaring weakness of our form of gov ernment. We realize that all voting brought about by the propaganda of a spirited campaign will not be that which has been given" the most careful thought. However, the more people we have cast a ballot the closer we come to the democratic ideal of government by the people. Speech making, hand shaking, and all that goes with seeking a public office tend to create interest in the current issues of public concern. The candi dates are given the chance, although, it isn't al ways taken, to find out the real desires of the public. Lastly, the various values of competition would be brought into playt Americans, as a rule produce their best results -when they are working against stiff competition ? the stilfer the competition the better the results. To both Democratic and Republican parties. Let's have some rallies. Bring the candidates before the public and have them state how they will perform the duties of whatever office they seek. The winner would have the satisfaction of knowing that he was elected because his ideas were closest to what the voters really wanted. The losers could also find satisfaction. By being in the race and putting up a strong fight they would help to represent the va rious view points, help create interest and make the winner a worker. Let's Protect Our Game _ Many local sportsman, cither because of an over zealous interest in hunting or fishing or because of a lack of realization of the harm they are doing, are showing a complete disregard for our game laws. The results are very harmful, and our none too plentiful game will soon be destroyed if, nothing is done to prevent the present trend. During the war years there has been only, one game warden in Macon. Clay, and Swain counties. Due to the lack of hunting and fishing during those years perhaps this was sufficient. But with the re turn of thousands of veterans, many whom are ardent game devotees and with people more able to take a little time off from their work there should be at least one warden for each county. Our game is a valuable resource which should be protected. Not only are many tourists attracted here to take part in the hunting and fishing, but a wholesome recreation is provided for local sports man as well. In brder that our game may be pro tected from that small minority that does not real ize the value and necessity of game preservation everv effort should be made to obtain at least one game warden for each Western North Carolina county. Just tune your soul till the wave lengths chime, For God Is broadcasting all the time. ? Ohariss Wharton Stork. j ??? LETTERS ? ?? FAVORS MOUND PROGRAM Dear Weimar: I have just read In the last edition of the Franklin Press that $435 00 has been collected for the purchase of the Indian Mound to be preserved as a memorial. I think this should have been done long ago and I am glad steps are now being taken to make it public property. I want to add a small contribution to the fund, and I on close you my check to the Nikwasi Indian Mound Association, which you can deliver to the Treasurer, whose name I have misplaced. I hope you have been able to secure an extension of lime for the option from Mr Carpenter. With best wishes, Sincerely yours, T B. HIODON I ' j Atlanta, Ga. ! Sept. 2, 1946. Letters Of Appreciation Cartoogechaye, ^Jullasaja, Co wee, Walnut Creek, and carson Chapel Clubs have sent cloth ing and other articles directly to the families in Holland and Greece with whom they have corresponded. Other clubs in cluding Watauga and Oak Grove have given generous con tributions to the overseas relief drive. Over $30.00 was given in cash donations by club women in addition to shipping 243 cans of meat, fruit and vegetables. Macon County Home Demon stration club women joined in the International Christmas party last year by sending gifts to war-torn countries. They received letters of thanks from Holland and Greece. The fol lowing are paragraphs from va rious letters: ? ? ? "We received the presents those you have send for my lit tle boy, and we thank you very much. You can't imagine how glad my boy felt when he saw the gifts. We shall be grateful to you and all the Greek people are grateful to people of U. S. Three little boy doesn't write English but he said that when he will learn English he will write you. Many regards from our family and perhaps one day we shall meet you." "Through this letter I inform you, that we received your gifts and that my little daughter Is very joyful with it. Thank you very much for your kindness for sending it. My daughter is only five years old and cannot write herself, therefore her mother writes in her place." "You wrote me that you send us something which I think very kind of you, as we can use everything. When it is not too difficult for you, please be so kind to try and send us shoes, for the sizes I enclose a foot-print, and when you have, or can get, dresses for my daughter Charlotte and me we have the sizes 70 (Charlotte) and 44-46 (for me). Socks and stockings are also welcome but of course you should not send all the articles I asked for. I should like to send you the money but as you know we cannot get American dollars and with Holland guilders you can not do anything. Perhaps you know something you like and which we can buy here, write me that, than 111 send it to you." "I was so happy to receive your letter, I found it wonder ful because the letter that I received has been mislade My boy also was so glad and he has the wish to learn as soon as possible the English language in order to have a correspondence with you. All the people In Greece suf fered during the occupation and we hoped that one day our country would be free. You wrote also about articles that we may need. Everything is useful for us. Everything has been destroyed during the occu pation. We expect letter of yours. Many regards from my family and my best wishes to your family." Others' Opinions ? HAPPY PHRASE Winfleld Blackwell, Forsyth nominee to the House and fifth district representative of the North Carolina O.I. Democrats^ avows that "as citizens first and veterans second, we wanted to organize to keep North Carolina a progressive state and to work for better government and benefits that would be of help to all people." After some confusion, not a little of it created, as to the purposes of the O.T. Democrats, we take this supplement to the veterans' credo as a healthy manifestation. The G.I.'s have never repudiated the party's record and they do not propose to bolt its ranks. They do not seek a preferred status for veterans, but rather for progress. That should fit in, we think, with the preferences of most North Carolinians. The war veteran will be a potent Influence in American pol itics for the next generation. In the main, he will be an in fluence for the good, once such antics as the resort to arms in Athens, Tennessee, work out of the postwar bloodstream. Perhaps this incident and others have over-fired imaginations of political observers, who are prone to attach excessive mili tancy to anything new. They would be out of character in North Carolina. "Citizens first and veterans second" is an exemplary phrase. North Carolina and every other state could well afford to see the first half of it attached to any and all pressure or special interest groups, real or potential. ? Asheville Citizen. MORE POWER TO THEM A sordid and dreary little episode of current hUtory teems about to repeat itself. On the eve of the restoration of price ceilings on meat, large stocks reportedly are moving Into the hands of black market dealers. To this intelligence the deputy administrator of OPA re sponds: "We are going to see to it that It (the meat) goes out under the new ceilings or not at all." And to this manifesto the majority of Americans, we think, will respond in turn: "More power to you!" OPA, for that matter, has much of the power U needs. Its enforcement personnel has been doubled in recent weeks. It has lost some of the skittishness which affected its earlier enforcement efforts. Black Market dealers in meat will get short shrift. This, to be sure, is their due. The traffic in "hot" meat has been scandalous. But the black market has been aided and abetted by some cattle growers and some slaughterers and some packers who have resisted any notion of price ceilings from the start. Indeed, one of the most powerful lobbies against OPA in the last Congress was a packing institute which spent a small fortune in newspaper advertising. The tenor of the appeal was to drop ceilings and let meat prices find their level. This was done, of course, during the price holiday. But prices never conformed to reason and to the level of antl-inflatlon safeguards. And even with reasonable Increases in ceilings the packing industry seemingly is not disposed to play ball. The familiar famine pictures of stockyard pens already are reap pearing on the front pages. Where future traffic in meat moves in black market channels the government must act with firmness and dispatch. The gen eral interest cannot abide the selfishness of one group, no mat ter \t8 Identity. OPA is armed, as perhaps never before, with the good will and encouragement of a law-abiding people. ?
