'& Address all communications to The Enter- w prise and not in ividual members of the (jJ firm No Subscription Received Under fi Months i —r~r=l j Tuesday, February 12. 1052 ^ The Ollier Side In their well subsidized trade magazines and teleases. the reactionaries have repeat edly referred to the cost of government un der President Truman. They have pointed out that more debt was accumulated under Truman than under all the other Presidents from the beginning in 17!i9. Well, there’s another side, and one that should be consid ered. Senator Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma points out: “After paying federal taxes last year the American people had nearly three times as much income left as they did after federal taxes in the best years of either the Hoover or the Coolidge administrations.” That changes the angle of the reactionary claim, and then the Senator throws more light on the reactionaries’ ballyhoo by point ing out: "By the end of this year the American people will have had more income left, after federal taxes, in seven and one-half years under President Truman than they had left after federal taxes in all the Republican ad ministrations we have ever had, all put to gether." And in conclusion Senator Kerr said: "By the end of this year, the American people will have had more income left after federal taxes in the twenty years of Truman and Roosevelt, than they had left before fed eral taxes in all the previous administrations in the history of our country combined.” On The Car pet Presidential Candidate Dwight D. Eisen hower is being dragged across the carpet with little padding to absorb the shock. Employing the old Joe McCarthy style, a 1 ational magazine, apparently sold on that TellSw^Talt',' is showing pictures of Eisen .lower riding around with a Russian gen eral The magazine goes on to charge Eis enhower with just about everything in the book, almost questioning him for having the Russians on our side in World War Ii. II they are the tactics to be eg ployed by the politicians in advancing the interest of this or that candidate, then this nation is sunk. Taft is lined up with McCarthyism, and the Republican Old Guard is rapidly 'top ping into line, it is predicted that the un holy crowd will not confine its attacks to what is wrong with the country, but will go on to harp about tilings that are not wrong with the country. And any crowd that will do that simply is not lit to run this coun - f*-v. 1 •' mmmmmm Crying In The M i/de/ness Every now and then an enlightened mem ber of the Republican party comes forth with a ringing declaration, but when pro nounced among his fellow partymen it amounts to little more than John’s crying Tii ’he wilderness. . . Nebraska’s new Republican senator, Fred A. Seaton, warned his colleagues that o ;, time to stop branding reform as social sm. He was quoted as saying, “Certainly t ■, Tt socialism to abolish the sweatshop, n («■ retire, and puF'S "cnrder v, ages, Tvdf is it socialism to regulate the stock exchange or dealings in agricultural commodities. Nor is it socialism to conserve our natural resources, or build dams for flood control, irrigation or electric power. Such programs are simply the hallmarks of an enlightened state.” But the Republican party turns its back on enlightenment and still harps about so many petty things, leaving such men as Sen ator Seaton crying in the wilderness. Ideas are funny little things They won’t work unless you do. The Challenge Of Heroism By Ruth Taylor February is the month of heroes, the month in which we do lienor both to Wash ington and to Lincoln—to the first President and «o the Great Emancipator. But what makes an American hero? It is not class -our heroes range from Washing ton, the landed aristocrat, to Lincoln, the railsplitter. It is not nationality—there was Columbus, the Italian: Voh Steuben, the German: Roehambeau. the Frenchman: Ko ciusko, the Pole, it is not reil^ion—Wiiliam Bradford was a Protestant: William Penn, a Quaker; Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a Catholic; and Haym Colomon, a Jew. It is not race—the Negro mess boy who set a standard of bravery at Pearl Harbor was but carrying on a tradition that started with Crispus Attacks, the fiist to fall in the Ri val ut ion. The challenge of heroism lies before each and every one of us. A hero is anyone dis playing great valor or fortitude. Heroism is a height to which any of us may, climb, a path on which there are no barriers of dis crimination. A brave heart, a valiant spirit and a sincere desire to serve others are all that is needed. The heroes of today are the best we have to offer. They come from all ranks of so ciety, from all faiths, from all national back grounds Thompson, Kelly, Goldberg and Giardina. They are not the hard-boiled, hard -living adventurers of the swash buckling tales of the past but are fine, clean living youth with high ideals, firm faith and a great desire to act boldly for the right. Today we are face to face with'destiny. The need for heroes has never been great er. Across the pages of the past eel o again Lincoln’s words, with added significance and import in this fateful hour: “Fellow citi zens, we cannot escape history. * * The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation. We shall nobly saw >r meanly lose the last, best hope of earth." Courage is contagious. We can translate the inspiration of the bravery of both new and storied American heroes into positive action. No repining, no complaints, just j a determination to put Peace on a firm foundation! This is the least we can do for j our honored dead. On itlrtfitaii’ Medical dare For All -— Smithfield Herald Oscar Ewing, the Federal Security ad ministrator, explu'ning the* President’s pro posal for national alth insurance in an ad dress at the Institute of Religion in Raleigh Monday night. The American Medical Association and other opponents of compulsory insurance may be able to detect real weaknesses in the President's plan, but the opposition will not easily attack the fundamental position of President Truman and Mr Ewing in seek- j ing adequate medical care for everybody, i regardless of economic status. This was the' heart of Mr. Ewing’s speech: | “Neither President Truman nor 1 are j \vi‘(ide»u lo this particular proposal. wo arc* instead wedded to the conviction that the people of this country want, and should have, some means of coping with the high costs of medical care, if anyone can come foi ward with a better way of doing this than the one we have suggested, we will all be happy to welcome him and his ideas.” Mr. Ewing doesn’t think anybody has presented a better idea so far. Providing more hospitals and doctors is a necessary part of the total health problem, but will this solve the problem of financing hospital and medical care for all who need it'.’ Voluntary insurance plans have been a great value, but will they ever extend ade quate health protection to all the people? Mr. Ewing’s answer to both questions is no. In the Monday night speech, Mr. Ewing declared that the President’s proposal is not socialized medicine, which he described as a system under which doctors would be employed by the government on salaries. Under the President’s plan, said Mr. Ew ing, doctors would maintain their independ ence and patients would retain their free dom u;.choose' and.change t'acidis..He stressed that national health insurance is intended to do nothing but provide the ma chinery for paying medical costs. The pro posal would simply extend the principle >f social security to cover the costs of sick ness as well as provide old-age benefits The President’s proposal hasn’t been fair ly debated so far. The critics have shouted “socialized medicine” and frightened the people into shying away from even an hon est examination of the plan. This is not the way of democracy. We should study national health insur ance more closely. And if we decide that the President’s proposal is undesirable, we should continue the search for a workable plan that will bridge the gap between the high cost of medical care and the inability ot millions of families to pay for the care that is needed. _ _ — Patients In The Martin General Listed among the patients in Martm General Hospital this | morning were the following: Mis Ruby Barnhill of Cherry Point and Williamston, Mr. R.

Pays To Go Slow In Selling Timber C. W. Slade, Negro farmer of Route 2, Robersonvilie, believes many farmers lose money by rushing to sell their lumber as soon as an offer is made. "If il takes me •40 years to get a good growth of timber why shouldn’t I take my time selling it'.’’’ asks Slade. According to R. McK. Edwards, Negro farm agent ir^ Martin County for the State College Ex tension Service, Slade decided to sell the timber off 50 or 00 acres of land. The first lumberman to look it over offered him $5,000 for all the trees 10 or more inches in diameter. Not knowing much about tim ber, Slade decided to wait a few days Through the county agent, I he obtained the help of a State j College extension forestry spec ialist who visited the farm and] showed him how to estimate die I amount of timber he had Within a wi ck the same lum- j be: man came back and. offered him $11,500 for all trees above 12 incln s in diameter. At last report, Slade stall hadn’t sold and the bids were still go ing up.

Today we live in a world if hate and anger. Tumor iuU we ina see the atom bombs dropped around the world, pro vided there is any one left to see. On the aver.j,; \ J out of three goes to the divorce courts to say no thing of the many couples who decide to carry on the light unto the end. Every way we turn we see the results of hared, strife and jealously. The world is engulfed in anger. We have heard of many cures for anger. 'Some recommend cul ture, some self control, some re ligion, some physical check-ups. some different kinds of food and we could go on enumerating until we covered page:; with prescrip tions. Since we make no charges for our prescriptions, and since the ingredients cost nothing, am, since we do not expect a single person in :.li the world to try it, we have no fear of being prose cuted for practicing medicine without a license. Yet we believe if it was prac ticed there would be no more need for armies or navies. There probably would be no more mur ders, no more fights and no more courts and no more divorces. The world would be a much better place to live than it is today. The remedy is so simple and cheap that all may use it. Here is the remedy. At first stirring of anger, drink a glass of ice water, a gourd of spring water will do just as well, if you do not get immediate relief, repeat the cure every two seconds, and we guarantee a cure, for we have never seen a mad person yet who had a gallon of ice water in him. If you live so far north that all the water is frozen, use the same amount of snow or ice, it will do iust as well. New anapbean Is Now Available —*— Seed of the new, highly produc tive Wade snapbean variety are now available in quantity from most seeds men in North Carolina according to H. Jvl. Co-vtnf'.ton, horticultural .specialist for the State College Extension Service. The vanety is recommended in North Carolina for use bv home gardneto 'Mid' lt<t vrtvfi plantings .<-.n 3 cMf!r,rnrjrc!3l scale. . Tht: o. S. Department of Agri culture, which released th° new snapbean recently, describes it as “outstanding in productiveness and appearance." It matures 54 days after planting and bears over a long season, a characteristic that appeals to home gardenrs. Other favorable characteristics include resistance to major bean diseases, superior quality, low fi ber content, and ability to ship well and to retain freshness. The nearly round pods of the Wade snapbean are dark grgen and the color remains through blanching. This makes the variety suitable for U. S. fancy frozen pack. Seed are the color of port wine. Pods are stringless. After harvest the new bean does not wilt nearly so rapidly as other commercial vareties. The variety has been widely tested by USDA’s Vegetable Breeding Laboratory in coopera tion with agricultural experiment stations of the Southern states and with commercial producers and seedsmen. Stale College Has Timely Answers Prices for dairy products are expected to be moderately to ma terially higher this year. There will be a further shift in a con sumer demand for butter to fluid milk, ice cream, and cheese. From January through Septem Der iasi year, nui m waiuiuia nu* ported nearly 14 million pounds cf milk for bottle sales. The shortage of milk for manufacturing pur poses was even greater. To help Tar Heel dairymen ob tain maximum returns, special ists of the State College Extension Service make these suggestions: 1 1?!' i eaoc m.ik p* ...dUv-tio,i oy using high quality roughage and pasture. Good pasture can provide ,••1, ,v.i!needs at about hall the cost of that produced from other feeds. 2. Cut costs by culling out low producing cows while beef prices are high and feed scarce because of the 1951 drought. 3. Breed as many heifers and cows as practical during the No vember-January period to make milk production more uniform throughout the year. 4. Use bulls proved for high pro duction. This can be done at small expense through the arti ficial breeding program. 5. Keep milk quality high by following the practices of good sanitation. Maintain herd health through efficient management. Buy only disease-free cattle. -- Deficit Expected To lie About $6,000,000,000 The Treasury reports that the Government wound up the first six months of the current fiscal year $7,407,242,215 in the red. Heavy income tax payments in the next few months, howevei*, are expected to reduce the year-end deficit to about $C,000,000,000.
