Tuesday, December 4, 1945 Inviting Trouble Holding a choking monopoly in the business, manufacturers of artificial limbs are inviting trouble when they v>v •V.c ^^Umb^for^W and Such absurd practices will and can do more to tear down free enterprise than all the “soap box” orators in the land. And it is our sincere belief that those why cry so loud in the name of free enterprise would do more for it if they took a firm stand against such exorbitant prices than they are doing by talking about the red bogey all the time. The United States has anti-trust laws, but it is apparent that an effective monopoly was built directly in the fact of those laws. When the laws of the land fail in their purpose, then other action generally follows, and often it is taken at the direction of irresponsible parties. We are read}' to condemn the irresponsible par ties, but refuse to correct the evils that give rise to those parties. Group Thinking By Ruth Taylor I know I seem to keep harping on the dangers of group thinking in this country—but every where I go I see evidences of the growth of this tendency. When 1 point it out, I am answered with the question, “Well, you believe in (naming their own group) getting their rights, don’t you?" I do—but I believe in something much more than that! 1 believe in all people everywhere in the world getting their rights, improving their standards of living, and availing themselves of new and wider opportunities for advancement. I do not believe the way to accomplish this is by leveling off. I believe *n leveling up. But group thinking tends to level off. ' Whatever tho grrycv w.ha.tev3£* thft. cir.Qjjjn stances, group demands for special privileges are disruptive. Dwight L. Moody used to tell a story which illustrated just this point. A small boy caught his hand in a valuable vase and it looked as though the vase would have to be broken in order to free him. The ”631 trouble was he was clutching at a miserable penny he had dropped in the vase and he couldn’t get his clenched fist out. Too many groups are clutching at pennies to day. They are see what they tuav endanger fo^that larger group of. which they are. a part They want things for themselves and in their ov/n way. They do not see ahead and recognize that to seek prosperity and freedom for all, is the only way to achieve prosperity and freedom for any. Freedom is universal. Only license is priv ileged. There was a straw once that broke a camel’s back, and if we’re not careful, some thoughtless, selfish group is going to undo much of the good that has been done by conscientious, public spir ited individuals, working throughout the years to put into practise the ideals of democracy. We need above all understanding of our fel low men. We need to appreciate how allied are the desires of all of us. Nine out of ten times the difference of opinion between groups is just the same as between individuals, that is, we want our kind of work done in our way—our opponent wants his kind of work done his way. If we would once look at a problem from the other fellow’s side—we would start our think ing from the points we have in common, not from our differences, and we would think as friendly individuals, not as opposing groups. Relief Bound Down In our nearly every move providing relief for the suffering, we have to stop and pay tribute to our own whims and fancies. It is all right to make certain that our relief dollar will be well spent, but it is disgusting when we act in the name of the needy and at the same time force our own selfishness and greed into the picture. When the relief dollar is raised right here at home, we have to contend with over-manned and sometimes over-paid office seekers. The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Agency has had to listen to the politicians, not for guidance but for the gain of the politicians and greedy. Before we will send a dollar to a starving child, we must be assured that the dol lar will be spent so as to benefit ourselves. We will be treveling the right track when we place the welfare of suffering humanity ahead of our whims and fancies and forget our own greed. We must place first things first. And when we do that there’ll not be very much cause for a lot of this tiring and useless wrangling at home.

(International) Cancer Control Plan To Be Put Into Effect —®— North Carolina is to have a com I plete, practical cancer control pro gram that is unequalled in any other state in the South. It will be initiat ed just as soon as the right physician can be found to direct it. Some fea tures must wait for legislative enact ment and appropriations to supple ment the provisions of the cancer i control bill passed by the 1945 Gen eral Assembly. It is estimated that about five years will be needed to get the program in full operation. The six-point five year cancer con trol program, which is calculated to fill a void in the state’s medical and health picture that has troubled thoughtful doctors and lay citizens who have watched the rising toll taken by cancer, was mapped out by , the cancer committee of the Medical Society of the State of North Caro lina, of which Dr. Ivan M. Procter, of Raleigh, is chairman. The six steps in the development of the program will be as follows: 1. Procurement of a qualified, practical physician as director. 2. Education through the North Carolina Department of Public In struction. Legislation to put a course in cancer control in the high schools of North Carolina. A. Education of physicians through refresher courses at medical schools. Organization of clinics and lectures at medical centers, and organization of traveling clinics to visit every county in the state, 3. Establishment of cancer preven tion clinics. 4. Establishment of diagnostic and treatment tumor clinics. 5. Provision for the care of termin al cases in nursing homes. 6. Institution of a complete follow up record system through full time public health nurses. -<$. . 4-H’ers To Receive $123,000 In Awards Rural boys and girls throughout America will receive $125,000 worth of honor awards this year for meri torious achievements in 4-H Agricul tural and home economics activities, the National Committee on Boys and Girls Club has announced. “These coveted awards, which com prise medals, Chicago Club Congress trips, U.

R. Gra ham, director of the Credit Union division of the State Department of Agriculture. Graham said the project will deal principally with credit unions and other cooperatives among Negro farm families throughout the eastern counties. The program will be sponsored by the N. C. Department of Agriculture, the University of North Carolina, the Fellowship of Southern Churchmen, the State Department of Public In struction, and the American Mission ary Association. I If the plan proves successful, it j will be carried into other Southern stales! “Since North Carolina leads the USE COLD PREPARATIONS Liquid, Tablets, Salve, Nose Drops Caution use only as directed. ation in the number of Negro farm >operatives and since virtually all : these groups ar« in the eastern aunties, it is logical that such a pro am as we have in mind should be n among our Negro farmers of astern North Carolina,'' said Gra-, w, . - At a meeting attended by repre ntatives of these groups, tentative ans calling for the expenditure of iproximately $160,000 during the ;xt five years were discussed.
