Mortgaging The Ittlure - The Selective Service Acl in operation is un covering sortie startling facts as they relate to health and physical disabilities Add to these facts the general lapse in moral decency and it is quite apparent that there is no strong metal similar to that so heroically and willingly dis played at Vallet Forge aiid Gettysburg to de fend what little we have to defend today. Within a single generation, the Army's ex amining doctors are turning aside just twice as many young men as were turned away on ac count of physical disabilities in World War No. 1. Unofficial but reliable facts coming from the various draft examining boards in North Car olina indicate that more than 25 out of every 100 men examined are victims of syphilis. While heavy infestation is among the coloredmce, it? is an established fact that a shocking percent age of young white men is included in the list of victims North Carolina is mortgaging its future when it does not make every effort to stamp out the social disease It is a generally recognized fact that social diseases have, to a large extent, help ed pack our asylums for the insane to overflow ing. The meaning "6f the trend is strikingly re flected in the ever-increasing appropriations necessary to house the unfortunates, and if the truth were known. North Carolina is not han dling the job commensurate with the crying need. M ill The I'eople hornet? Will the people forget the disgrace brought upon them in the past by Robert Reynolds when 'e runs again for United States Senator in 1944? Ushered into office by conditions rather than by any meritorious claim. Reynolds has been one big disappointment to the people back home Apparently without the capacity to hold down the job. Bob Reynolds has disgustingly held himself in the spotlight bv cheap publicity schemes and extended traveling mostly at gov ernment expense. Reynolds, a few days ago said, "I'm getting awfully weary of being denounced in the legis lature of my State and all its newspapers . ." And. Mr. Reynolds, the people of North Caro lina are getting weary of your four-flushing and disgraceful antics. The people will forgive you. however, if you will only forgive them for ev < r nominating and electing you the first time And by some miracle they hope^and pray the record of their vote and your record in the Unit ed States will be obliterated from the records that future generaations will be spared the shame and humiliation that is certain to follow And it is to be hoped that nearly all of your colleague's record be blotted out. too \torkery It ib nothing more than mockery for the Al mighty when men in high places close their eves to the needs of the oppressed and then masquerade in the temples of God as teachers of men. ? ?? The rights ill little children have" been denied just recently by the lawmakers of our State The working man has been advised that there is no immediate hope, that the time is not right for him to press a claim for a decent livelihood along with others The time was not ripe for Christianity when Christ first appeared, and the time isn't ripe for him even until this day. But there were those daring few who champion ed with all their power and even their lives to build up hope in the souls of men There are those today who dare to sacrifice their popu larity in the name of that which is right and good But in our law-making body there are those who say the time is not yet ripe to give the less fortunate a decent chance in life. Sun day found some of them in the Sunday School teaching men a lesson, the subject of which by coincidence was in bold disagreement with the action of the law-makers. Two paragraphs from the lesson read: "To discover the unpopularity of Jesus and to stand by that is dtscipleship. To discover the present unpopularity of Jesus and stand by? that is discipleship. To discover the present un popularity of causes Jesus would now endorse and stand by that is discipleship. To associate oneself with those whom the world often calls fools, radicals, revolutionaries, visionaries, ideal ists. fanatics, dreamers, disturbers?that is dis cipleship. "To be willing to die 111 be! alf of truth, of greater freedom for the oppressed, of greater opportunity for the poor, of he. 1th and strength for the hordes of sick, of ligl : for those who struggle in impossible darkne s. physical and intellectual, for the spiritual liberation of so ciety from its unbearable weir ,I of sin I bat is discipleship."

PATENT MEDICINES Defense Changes Business Set-Up| In World War I. England adopt - I ed "bu&ine*s as usual" slogan, main I ly to symbolize traditional British | imperturbability. We fell in with j that idea, toov over here. The pres- I ent war, by its very nature, puts a j lot more physical obstacles in the i way of "business as usual" for the 1 bomb-rocked British. Yet so far as the symbolism and mental attitude are concerned, the philosophy is again dominant there. And over here ! too, we have tried to cling to that ! idea, mostly expressed in the phrase | saying that we could "super-impose our defense program on our normal industrial program " For months it j was felt we could do it?could take on any foreseeable task in the way j of defense production, and turn it . i out, without having to cut down on ! ordinary peacetime goods and serv- j 1 ices. Our business has not been "us- ' iual," it's been unusually good, for j many months, because to a large ex - j | tent the defense drive was set right ( I on top of our normal schedule. But in recent weeks it has becoine increasingly clear that the defense drive is going to require some men, materials and machines that other wise would be producing consumer goods. Already adoption of manda tory priorities has* brought home this fact to many manufacturers, jand la some consumers. On the whole, though, the general predic tion is that the most "unusual" thing about Uncle Sam's business ? for many months to come?will be its! "unusual upwardness " Although in dividual lines may be set back by the rationing system, the continued growth of defense production will more than offset those declines in non-defense lines caused by ration ing of materials. The Federal Re serve Board's index of industrial production stood at 139 in January, and is expected to hit 150 before the end of the year In that index, the activity rate of 1935-39 is rated as "100."
