September 10. 1052 $ The Pessimists S/M’nh Following years of "good living" and ma il rial progress, the pessimists are now en gaged in loud talk, A spokesman for an economic research bureau par:.!;- a pretty dark picture for i vTvbod' except the holder of cash. ’1 he man with cash is about to come into his own, the researcher declares. He says the city people of the United States are broke, that the corporations are buried under a $116 billion mortgage debt, that the home mort gage debt now stands at $50 billion. He continues, pointing out that seventeen mil lion families last year went into debt for more than $16 billion, and that three million other families saved not the first penny. The same researcher says there are filty million automobiles and trucks in the Unit id States, that the motor vehicle market has reached the saturation point. The researcher may be right, but there is the p> ssibilitv he lias overpainted the dark picture, and the picture for the cash-holder is not as rosy as he would have one believe. The money man may buy a house cheap, but a cheap house with no renter is still cosily An idle factory, bought for a song, is still no bargain. Some adjustments are due, no doubt, but the cash bears may re gret ilu day tlux gobbled up property at 11: < • . .til I fellow's expense, for Until there's rent money available, houses will not be • rented and iinliss the consumer has mom y putrhase.- of manulaetuioil products will net and cannot be inadir Offering little The Republicans ;uv hav ing much to sa\ about tl.e Dcmoci .its, but it becomes more cv kK n day ir. dav that M:dEisohhoW'cr and ■Ins party have little to offer. II the Republicans have no one better to offer than McCarthy. Jenner and Company, thev should simply close up and quickly fade away. As; le from polities, the McCarthy victory in Wisconsin recently is a defeat for decency and fair play in this country. Corruption, Iniwcvi i bad it may be, is nothing compared with McCarthy ism. Thi action of the Wisconsin voters is about as sickening and provoking as any thing that has ever been perpetrated upon the people of tins land. If Candidate Eisenhower goes along with that crowd, and he has said he would, then he has little claim to support at the polls on November 4. McCarthy has inflated his war record. He has not accounted for big income, and he al legedly dodged taxes. He vilified General George Marshall, one of the great patriots of our time And. yet, Wisconsin voters re nominated him. Appraised in its true light, the action is worse than anything Washing ton has ever done or ever thought of doing. Take Art ion I\o tr Instead of waiting until the end of the ferm and censoring the schools for the weak nesses ol then children, parents and patrons should check up on their charges and the schools now. Parents should visit the schools and check up not necessarily to take issue but to lend a helping hand. Parents should see that their ✓ children remain home evenings during the week and study. Thre is too everlastingly much gallivanting around all during the term and too much ‘beefing” at the end of the term. The taxpayers will have spent tens of thousands of dollars for schools by the end of the 1952-53 term. They are entitled to a fair accounting of that money. And unless there is a fair accounting, the time will come, sooner or later, when the value will be ques tioned and the apropriations harder to get. Life !s Funny Man comes into this world without his consent and leaves it against his will. Dur ing his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misun derstandings. In his infancy he is a devil In his manhood lie is everything from a li lt he doesn't raise a family ht «s too sellish. If he raises a check he is a crook. If he is a poor man he is a bad manager'and lias no sense If He is rich he is smart but chshon cst. If he is in politics he is a grafter. If he is not in politics he is an undesirable citizen. If he goes to church he is a hypocrite. II he doesn't he is a sinner If he gives t;; charity it is for show. If he doesn’t he is a tight wad. When he first comes into the world everyone wants to kiss him. Before he leaves the wyrld everyone wants to kick him. If he flies voung there was a great !u tiire before him. If he lives to a ripe old age he is in the way. Anonymous. Hy F xa m [>lr Casualty and surety companies are upset, and rightly so. over the ever-increasing number of highway accidents and road deaths. Special driver courses for the schools are being established in many schools and proposed in others. More leg islation is advocated by some, and the rais ing of the minimum driving age to 18 and possibly 21 years is even being suggested. Some, if not all the proposals are good and should be broadened. During the meantime, the older loiks can set an ex ample more worthy of the youthful driv ers to follow. Possibly there is a greater tendency on the part of youth to show off and act folishly than there is among the adults. But the adults are doing their part of the reckless driving in this part of the country. For the most part it is the older guv who hasn’t the common decency to dim the headlights on his car. Thr Christian l iaa/atitil People are more important than money. The story is told of an evangelistic service held many years ago. At the end of the two weeks of preaching only one little boy. aged twelve, had joined the church. The faith ful church treasurer bemoaned the fact that the meeting had cost the expenses of adver tising, entertaining the visiting preacher, and an honorarium for him. Nobody had come into the church who would help pay the expenses for operating, lie complained. How wrong he was! That little hoy was .John 1) Kockefellei, who was to give more money to the church than any one man since I he coming of Christ. Men control money. Men are more im portant than money. “See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for 1 say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.” (Matt 1: 8-10).

And then one looks at another and releases a great big smile. A few days ago one reached the office, showing a former charge of the Barium Springs orphanage cuddling a dozen or more homeless Korean children. The one-time charge of the orphanage had a genuine look of compassion as he held his hand on the shoulder of a little fellow whose arm was in a cast and his eyes holding fast to another little waif whose emaciated body told a story of privation and suffering. Eastern North Carolina farmers are not producing bountiful crops this year, but they are producing enough to spare, and it is firmly believed that through a cooperative effort a box car can be loaded with peanuts for shipment to the hungry homeless in Korea this fall. CojiileHiniiiti Mis (hen Makers •Dwight Eisenhower is condemning the De mocratic administrations for this and that, making few or no exceptions. Mr. Eisenhower was promoted to his rank by the Democrats. He was honored by the Democrats. Now. he overlooks the fact that he was made by those he is now condemn ing. Eisenhower, the candidate, should re member he was up until a few months ago a part of the administration he is now’ at tacking. IMief For Channel Stein i mers A tunnel under the English Channel is be ing talked again. Such a connecting link would help solve the tmnsportation problem between England and France, and, at the same time, relieve all those .Channel swim mers. Even now all the Channel swimming is at the best a foolish venture, but no san< reason would prevail once the tunnel i completed. Social News Here From Wilsdn Mr. and Mrs. 1. L.

In making this appeal Weeks said, “the Farm Bureau is respon sible for the tobacco stabilization program we have today, which has meant millions of dollars to the growers of North Carolina.” The general manager pointed out that through the stabilization program every producer in the five bright leaf states is guaran teed at least DO percent of parity for his tobacco on the auction warehouse floor. “I have been connected with the tobacco program for some 18 years and I know that had it not been for the Farm Bureau under the able leadership of R. Flake Shaw, who led the fight for this program when the going was tough, farmers would not enjoy a price for tobacco which enables them to maintain a reasonable standard of living,” he added. Weeks said the Stabilization Corporation is operating in its der bv. the president, Mrs. C. B. Fagan We sang "America the Beautiful" followed by the De votional. Minutes were read and roll called. There were 16 mem bers present. Old and new bus iness was discussed. Mrs. Sam Coburn read a nice letter receiv ed from a pin-pal in Australia.
