Something EUe To Think About
Navy Secretary Knox said a few days ago
that time lost through injuries would have built
45 battleships, 75,000 fighter planes or 15,000
bombers.
We have heard much about delays caused by
strikes, but it is very seldom that one hears
about the welfare of the worker. It is fairly evi
dent that the worker is exposed to risks, but
the time lost by accidents of one kind or an
othre docs not seem to be as important as time
lost by strike American industry has eliminat
ed many accident hazards, but the bare records
show that they were, more or less, forced to do
it, certainly in most cases It is apparent that
more action should be taken in the name of
safety when time lost through injuries would
have built 45 battleships. 75,000 fighter planes
or 15,000 heavy bombers.
But accidents in industry are similar to those
on the highways we seem to recognize them
as a matter of course.
Reaping Our Reward
Recent deaths on the highways in this coun
ty and section have brouglf^ forth a call for
more patrolmen and the strict enforcement of
the highway laws. PoSsibly the addition of
one, two or more patrolmen and the strict en
forcement of the present laws will help check
death in its impartial drive.
If is humanly impossible for the law, regard
less of its enforcement, or for thousands of pa
trolmen to free the highways of death and de
struction. The task rests with the individual.
We are in our mounting accident toll reaping
our reward, and until the'spdividual values his
own life and the lives of his fellowman, the
death count and the accident list will continue
to mount.
Are we to helpless that we must have a pa
trolman to escort us on the highways and
through the streets? Are we so important that
we have to drive as mad men? Are we so In
different to our acts that we will drive reck
lessly and carelessly even at the risk of our
own lives and the lives of others? These ques
tions are to be answered, and efforts made to
attune our acts to a safe and sane program. We
cannot hope to build a program of safety on
the foundation of the law or on others; we
must first practice safety as individuals
How indifferent we are on the highway is
suggested in our nearly every act. We drive
in the middle of the road. We seldom dim our
lights, but head toward a death-dealing object
with lights glaring and blinding the pilot of
the approaching machine. We speed when we
are not in a hurry. We mix alcohol with gaso
line. We still think it smart to show off. to take
chances and to frighten others.
More patrolmen may be added and other ac
tion taken, but we are going to continue to reap
death and destruction as our reward until we
?you and I?look the problem squarely in the
face and do something about it ourselves
Mr. W'arreji Speak* Out
It was not idle talk when Comptroller Gen
eral Lindsay Warren, former First District Con
gressman, spoke out recently about shady af
fairs in the National Youth Administration
set-up. Mr. Warren's record in the Congress
leaves little doubt as to his stand when it comes
to feeding the hungry and clothing the naked.
Tils more recent action indicates that he is not
in favor of tolerating corruption and the self
perpetuation of relief agencies.
The principles upon which the NYA was con
ceived and advanced are deserving of support,
but the questionable practices so closely asso
ciated with the organization and so boldly
pointed out by Mr. Warren and observed by
others in the field have no place in this land
of ours.
We glory in Mr. Warren's forthrightness, and
sincerely believe that his charge was made not
to smear the NYA but was voiced for the good
of his country. NYA leaders will dare answer
the charge, but they would do well to start
cleaning out their own houses before a show
down is ordered, and until that is done to keep
quiet.
It may be possible that Mr. Warren has a
perfect right to say more, to ask why with peak
employment and a record in favorable condi
tions this land is still pumping billions into cir
culation through agencies similar to the NYA.

Survey of Highway
Vehicles Be Made
All farmers and others who own
trucks are to be asked to help the
War Department in its transporta
tion planning for national defense,
reports John W. Goodman, assist
ant director of the State College Ex
tension Service. M. L. Wilson, di
rector of Extension work for the U.
S. Department of Agriculture, has
asked the cooperation of all State
Extension Services in the survey to
be made.
Each truck owner will receive in |
the next few days a special National
Defense inventory card, Goodman
explained. He will be requested to
return the card (postage free) with
information regarding the make of
his truck, kind of body, capacity,
time of year the vehicle is most ur
gently needed in the owner's busi
ness, and whether in an emergency
he would be willing to hire or lease
it to a Government agency.
The purpose in collecting these
records, Goodman said ,is more ef
fective planning of highway trans
portation in the assembly of defense
industry materials, delivery of mili
tary and civilian supplies, relief of
dock and terminal congestion, and
movement of passenger traffic in em- j
ergencies.
"England was forced, in the midst j
of the war. to make an inventory i
similar to U e * tlu^Uniterj States
is now about to begin," the extension
h ad't declared, and he added: "I am

This State To Make
Ail-Out Food Effort
Dean I. O. Schaub, director of the
State College Extension Service, who
led a group of North Carolina agri
cultural leaders to the recent Mem
phis, Tenn., meeting where a "Food
for Freedom" campaign for the
South was planned, returned home
with the statement that "North Car
olina will make an 'all-out' effort to
produce food and feed for defense
and security of the United States."
"Our farmers have been given a
definite job to do in this food pro
duction plan," Dean Schaub declar
ed, and he added: "I know they will
do their job with true patriotism."
Continuing, he said: "Secretary of
Agriculture Wickard and the other
Government leaders have outlined
the needs very clearly. The farmers
will be paid 85 per cent of parity for
the food they produce.
"The Agricultural Defense Boards,
headed by the AAA committee chair
men, will coordinate the campaign
on State and county levels. Shortly
the members of these boards, who
include representatives of every
agency financed by the federal gov
ernment, will begin to visit every
farm in the State and will help the
owners to make plans for his pro
rata share in the increased food and
feed production.
"This has nothing to do with al
lotments, but is a new feature of the
war effort. State goals will be brok
en down into county goals, and these
into the individual farm goals.
"North Carolina has been called
upon to increase, in 1942, its milk
production by 58 million pounds, its
poultry production bv 6.453 000 doz
en eggs, its beef by 10,164,000 pounds .
and other food and feed crops in |
proportion.
"Every North Carolina farmer
must do his part," Dean Schaub de
clared, "and I'm sure he will, just as
he has done in past emergencies."
will cooperate .in this survey since
it seems vital to the preparedness of
our country for any wartime em
ergency that might arise."
The North Carolina Highway Traf
fic Advisory Committee of the War
Department will send out the inven
tory cards. A similar survey will be
made of buses.
