No Subscription Received Under G Months Thursday. September 1.1. 1951 Born To Cri/M* A well-meaning citizen was griping the other day about the government mailing out various releases and-doetttne-rils in such large envelopes. The griper went on to say that the envelopes used by the government were large enough for a dozen head of cabbages, that his wife used them for a shopping bag. We don’t understand why the government should use such large envelopes, and it is agreed that smaller ones would serve the use just as well. But the well-meaning cit izen, representing one of the giant corpora tions said nothing about his own giant com pany using envelopes just a little bit larger than those used by the government for mail ing out similar material. In other words, we gripe about govern ment boondoggling and accept our own and that of our companies without complaint. Aidin'! Murder There’ll be no charges brought in the i courts, but those responsible for abolishing the motor vehicle inspection system have contributed to the death toll on our high ways. according to statistics advanced by in surance companies. Deaths in automobile accidents in- the twelve states requiring inspection last year were 14 7 percent below the national average ol 7 5 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles. It is difficult to put one’s finger on thi' value of inspection, but the fact that the number of deaths on North Carolina highways was greater than the average in the inspection system is worth every penny it costs and all the trouble real <"■ inummarv i1 caused It is also evident that those who killed the plan are responsible to some degree for some the accidents and resulting deaths on our highways. Defense llnntl Drii'e A nation-wide defense bond drive is un tier way, and those who started investing in the government securities ten years ago icnow now the value of saving as much as possible as they go along. The first of the E bonds are maturing now. and the lump sums are coming in mighty, mighty good now. 01 course the Westbrook Pegglers said some mighty mean things about government bonds, but it goes without saying that there would be little money on hand now had no investments been made back yonder. In addition to the valuable saving angle, money invested in government bonds now encourages thrift on the part of the individ ual. and serves as a check to inflation and a meaningful warning to the communists. The time for investing in government bonds is no: over vet. and It is the duty of evet5*0tie to buy every bond possible. If lien Doe* It Sturt? Some scientist or philosopher says that civilization is certain to last so many thous ands of years. The question is: When will civilization start? Surely, this age is one of enlightenment, but can we call the world civilized when it is mired down in war, rumors of war. con fusion, crime and dragging low bottom morally. Strange Fruit The San Joaquin Valley in California is producing some strange fruit. Reports coming from that spot where so many "Okies” were said to live a few inches removed from starvation, where sweatshop labor exists and little children are denied hardly more than a dog’s chance, declare that a big new crop of millionaires have been produced. In the Name of Little Children In the name of little children, many of them almost helpless, every motorist is urg ed to exercise every safety precaution along the bus routes and near schools. Unfortunately this county has been “rob bed” of all but two patrolmen, and the mo torist is, more than ever, on his honor to abide by the rules and regulations. Remem ber, it is unlawful to pass a school bus when the bus is receiving or discharging passen gers. the law applying to traffic moving in any direction. Motorist' arc asked to be careful when passing bibs'little tots wailing beside the road for their busses. Police may save a life by checking traffic as often as possible on those streets leading to and from the schools. Time and education are important, but human life is more important Let’s recog nize first things first and act in the name of little children. I Sound In rest men! The G1 training program now rapidly drawing to a close has proved to be a good investment. Yes, the costs came a bit high, and there were those—too many—who did not take full advantage of the opportunities afforded by the program. When the federal government can spend $14 billion and educate half million engi neers. quarter million teachers, 117,000 me tal workers and 200,000 medical men, to mention a few categories, it has done a good job. There are those, however, who still talk about the material side of the program and never think about the human resources of this nation. The $14 billion was not a handout by anv means. Most of the eight million veterans connected with the program were entitled to the program benefits by the very tact they had carried the torch of freedom while so many of the current critics were getting rich back yonder when the shooting was going on over there. Parenlal Delintpienvy Jonesboro (Ark.) Evening Sun Fred C Baxter, referee of the juvenile court in Detroit, has retired after many years service. He had become a recognized authority on matters pertaining to youth, particularly those who came before the court charged with delinquency. His parting wore! . when leaving the posi tion where he served so long and so well were: “Our present crop of youth is as gdod as any I wish 1 could say as much for their parents.1’ There is a statement which could be pon dered long and well by modern parents. What Fred Baxter says amounts to this: The youngsters are all right, and whatever trou ble they get into can be blamed on their pa rents. That is the conclusion of a man who has been handling youth for many years. Parental neglect is responsible for youth ful delinquency. Here is evidence of that on every hand: Family life no longer exists in many homes. Families broken by divorce arc responsible for considerable juvenile de linquency, but you listers who lack the in fluence and example of parental interest furnish the major share of juvenile cases. Few boys whose fathers have lime for them get into trouble. Girls who look upon their mothers as their best friends and com panions are seldom seen in a juvenile court. It may sound old-fashioned and fundamen tal. but families who meet regularly around the dinner table have few problem children. If society paid more attention to parental delinquency, younsters would be less of a problem. 7 rend ('heeked The price of cigarettes in Britain were recently boosted bv a penny per pack, mak ing a pack of twenty of the popular brands cost 50 cents. The companies explained that the increase “was made inevitable by the general rise in leaf tobacco prices in all markets in recent year.” Well, the Britishers can be assured that the price of cigarettes has reached a peak, because curreqt tobacco prices on the mar kets are not so “hot”. (lean 1 p Rather Than Hum l!p — • , -- *L t too late to cut the weeds and tall grasses on vacant lots. It is dangerous prac tice the owners follow in allowing weeds and grass to grow and die, inviting fire and pests. Each fall and winter, town fire departments are called to more grass fires than any other kind. Some of the fires threaten property, and the fellow who sets the stage for such fires simply isn't treating volunteer firemen right. Every property owner should have enough civic pride to keep his property clean. Those who are not mindful of that pride could be reminded that there are ordinances requir ing the removal of weeds and debris from vacant lots. CHURCF NEWS HASSELL CHRISTIAN Olin Fox, Minister.
