Tar Business Lool.inf! I ft
With all the smearing going on in Wash
ington, the tar business is looking up. There
has been some talk about revitalizing the in
dustry in North Carolina.
Byrd-Dcmocrats and Tuft-Republicans
have been busy with the smearing task, us
ing the tiny “five-percenters” as a mop to
smear thr administration. They apparently
figure much liberal legislation can be snuf
fed out by a covering of tar.
Now, much tar has been needed in the
smear campaign, but that need is small com
pared with what is needed to tar and feather
those who really need tarring in a big way.
A little tar is needed for the investigating
committee that strained to make mountains
out of molehills and overlooked, intention
ally or unintentionally, evidence that would
oave helped clear up the muddle.
Then an unlimited quantity of tar and
feathers is needed for such men as Senator
Joe McCarthy, the Wisconsin man who, it is
alleged, acted to defraud his government out
of income taxes after cleaning up $40,000 on
the stock market.
Yes, if all those who need it are tarred
and leathered in and around Washington,
the tar, pitch and turpentine industry is cer
tain to make a come-back in North Carolina
right away.
Go To Thr /tools
Great Britain's economy is tottering on its
foundation and, in keeping with our modern
fay trend, the economists are trying to save
the structure by patching the roof and paint
ing the outside.
Britain needs and possibly is entitled to
consideration, even beyond the billions al
ready advanced. But some cold facts must
be recognized, and once they are recognized
r, new course must be chattered if Britain
j hop s to live.
For years and years, Britain to its own
aggrandizement, milked her Asiatic colonies,
took toll of trade going and coming in all
parts of the world, manipulated to its own
advantage the currencies of other nations
and ruled the roost with an iron fist. Its
j natural resources were adequate until re
i rentlv. To hold its favored position, Britain
i had to fight one war after another, until now
it has fought itself out, lost the egg-laying
goose and exhausted many of its resources.
It was not the labor government that
wrecked Britain. No government of any
kind could have been expected to deliver
under such conditions. And as long as these
conditions exist, and it looks as if they are
permanent, Britain will have to go to the
very roots and start a new foundation if it
would survive.
The little island is overpopqlated and not
self-sustaining. Instead of maintaining a
surplus population, old Santa should offer
transportation to the colonies where honest
work will bring a dollar, and make unnec
essary so much dollar-sending.
{Jnulity First
It is an admirable trait in any one, a group,
organization, town or city to grow big. But
in recent years most of our attention has
been centered on “bigness” and not enough
on quality.
Too many of us measure the value of a
town, one’s fortune, a school, library or most
anything by the population count, the num
ber of dollars under command, how many
pupils are in school, the number of books in
a library. Too often we overlook the type
of citizens a town has. Do the A1 Capones,
the hoodlums, the ones who take more than
they give to a community predominate the
population count. We’d rather see a little
community of 100 good people than to see a
big city crowded with bad people. We'd
rather see a poor man with a rich heart than
to see a rich man with only greed in his
heart. We'd rather see a few good books in
a library than to see the shelves bulging
with cheap books and comic books and filthy
volumes. We'd rather see a school with just
a few sincere pupils than to see a building
crowded with young folks who, some how
or other, harbor the false idea that the world
owes them a living, that the very best is not
good enough for them.
And we see tobacco towns going to court
to try and maintain what have been dubbed
“Rump sales.” Yes, it is fine to try and
grow big, but let quantity be accompanied
I by quality.
