For most ol j us there’s no good reason tor such a foolish practice. Those who live in poverty and whose health and welfare are threatened by unsavory conditions can't ire blamed lor j .-.pending in excess of the-i-r-itwiwne.. But a repi>rt comes from Washington, maintaining that the national legislators j can’t exist on the SIS,000 salary paid them. Jt is claimed the legislator has to pay $4,20(1 < for housing, $0,700 for living expenses, $1,200 1 for social obligations, $2,520 for political obligations, and $3,500 taxes. And the irony of it all is that some of those who draw $15,000 annual salaries voted against increases in si km at security and con demned auv and every movement to l««>st tbim-cent basic wage. We don't know, but it seems the $15,00fl-a ycar man could cut his expenses somewhere along the line and still provide himself nour ishing food, adequate clothing and a favor able health and social environment. But the man drawing 75 cents an hour, forty hours a week, can’t do much cutting his $30 a week and iK'gin to provide the bare necessities for himself and family. Yes, some live beyond their means when they do not have to, and others live beyond theii means because they Wave to do it. Gvo^raphy anil Foot! About half the 2,500.000.000 people in the world are on the edge of starvation. Yet with thc> help of modern technology a population 10,000 times that on earth today could be maintained. These are among the thought-provoking statements made by international geogra phers meeting at the centennial celebration of the American Geographical Society. An othoi speaker dec'a red that the Mississippi Vail< y alonewhich he described as one of the most underdeveloped regions of the world -should be able to provide food for 500.000.000 people. The study of geography has assumed a vast new importance in today’s world. The geographers are, in a sense, the advance scouts of the agronomists and technicians of al Isorts who are moving out under the Ivan ner of Point Pour to help raise the level of product ion i vei y where. They warn of the danger of rushing into Point Four in too T>P , emea? and slapdash a fashion. As one of them pointed out, there is not even available a good map of Liberia, which is a Point Four country. Here is a reminder that technical aid pro grams cannot be looked on as quick stop communism expedients. The enemies, as General Marshall along ago pointed out. are hunger, poverty, and geographers play a vit al part in mapping out the trrain to be won for peace, prosperity, and production. Christian Science Monitor. i\o llanilonts An Industry spokesman declares that the practice of the government allowing indus < trial plants to depreciate plant expansions in i a hurry is no handout. The same fellow says industry is entitled to the consideration, that i industry is gambling when it undertakes ( such projects. The same spokesman turns and shouts that 1 any consideration shown the farmer is so ; eialism. After gambling with the elements and losing rather frequently, the farmer then gambles with the markets. But if he • loses, he still isn’t entitled to any considera tion of any kind whatever, even if he pro ‘ dueed life-sustaining food and fiber. Now, » if the industry spokesman can reconcile the two situations, he’ll have to throw out all ■ rhyme and reason and write a book on his ; own foolish and absurd economics. Too Much Or Too Lillie The love angle has just about been lost to the big money group. Many marriages have gone on the rooks because there was too lit tle money to maintain economic standards. Just about every marriage at the tig top of the economic ladder has gone on the rocks apparently because too much money was m “vofve-d. Just recently the Dick Reynolds divorce and the $2 million settlement on his ex-wife ■■vr, •TCST-tv*wli nr. *'• "W-. son of possibly the richest man in the world, are in the news again. Mr. Mansfield has not been in the news this week, but it's been only a short time since he was there in big headlines. While all the Reynolds money apparently could not keep Dick and his second wife to gether, eastern Carolina toliaeeo farmers could use a little of it to keep their families together. Sol i P rival e 4 ffair Concerning the action of the State Board of Bar Examiners in the Mvron Ross case, The Greensboro Daily Nows says: The state board has a difficult and deli cate task on its hands, one of great impor tance to the public. There is reason to be lieve that it could make that task much eas ier for itself hv being more frank with the , people whose agency it is. The Durham Herald says: Until the board give a better explanation for its refusal to permit Mr. Ross to take the examination, it must face the suspicion that ii has acted unfairly toward a young man who wants to become a lawyer and who has completed, with distinction, the course pro scribed in the law school of the State Uni versity. This is not a private matter. This case does not merely involve one man. Indeed, ] when the power of all the people in licens ing lawvers is exercised in secret and as il it were a private matter, both law and jus 1 ice an' endangered in this State. The hiriilenilx ff enl On During the 55-day steel strike, wages stop ped, certain manufacturing enterprises dos- | ed down and they said the flow of arms slowed up. But the dividends went on just the same. Surely, the holders of steel stock are on- , titled to a return on their investment, but I it is baffling to understand how dividends won' maintained when the steel industry j was idle. There is a groat deal about the steel strike that has not been cleared up in the minds of the people, and it is generally thought that J only management can clear those things up. And if inflation follows the steel episode, the people are certainty entitled to all the facts. Ilyril Economy? I j I i l The federal government, at the insistence of someone along the lino, is spending S>675, 000.00 to keep Virginia Beach from washing away. Possibly it is fair that the government should step in with North Carolina taxpay ers dollars and the dollars front taxpayers in all the other states to save a beach resort for Virginia. The project has ail the ear marks of that Byrd economy all the other forty-seven states have been hearing so much about. Mr Bvrd has "yapped” alxmt economy. Wr it, let him start the movement in his own backyard. When the better part of a million of the taxpayers’ dollars are spent on a beach resort, Mr. Byrd in his ohwn beach I't'sort in his own state, Mr. Byrd should not begrudge the helpless individual who receives a few dollars to sustain life itself. Sovereign Or A Surlier The Wall Street Journal says the consum er is sovereign. Catching the ultimate price load, the consumer is of the opinion he is a sucker. Of course, lie doesn't have to buy and that is a sovereign right. But when he does buy and has to pay about twice as much and more in many cas es than the actual producer received, it would appear the consumer is being made a sucker, pine and simple. Musi It, Same Mistake It is hard to believe that Kerr Scott would allot three-quarters of a million dollars for road building in his home county, rather than spread it out over several or more. There must be some mistake in the report. However, Alamance could be entitled to the sizable allotment, and the Governor could be recognizing a legitimate claim, but the vast majority of the people are question ing the action. Certainly the act, if it is concluded, will do Alamance much good, but, at tire same time, it is doing Mr. Scott much harm. CHURCF NEWS COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN Russell Smith, Pastor.
