Align hi 10. 1054 Hofs Huns mill In (’.offee Hoi Following an intensive investigation, the Federal Trade Commission comes up with a report showing that the hog ran wild in the coffee pot, and that the American pub lic paid through the snout. While frost caused some damage to the crop the report maintains that that condi tion was not responsible for the high price of coffee. Speculation on the coffee and sugar ex changes produced the upward spiral in prices, the report shows. Importers and roasters piled up huge supplies, following the old plan of buying cheap and holding for a "killing" price. Another factor was the tremendous power in the hands of a few large roasters, enabling them to influence prices and gouge the consumers. The re port went on to refer to inadequate crop re porting and trading irregularities. In short, the coffee drinkers were made the victims of a monopoly President Eisenhower is trying to ride two horses at the same time—one for Me- j Carthv and one for his old friends.

Happiness M ilhin Star Journal (Pueblo. Colorado) Americans have always been known in some parts of the world as dollar-chasers; but according to a recent scientific report, the concern of many people for money goes almost beyond belief. Dr. William Kauf man. a Boston physician, told the American Association for the Advancement of Science that emotional upsets over money can cause all sorts of symptoms of physical illness. Headaches, stomach troubles, and back pains are among the ailments which he has traced to “money-sickness.” Anyone who makes much of a study of human unhappiness and tragedy is sure to be impressed with the overwhelming tendency of men and women to bring dis asters on themselves by their own action. Here is just such a situation. And cer tainly no aches and pains ought to be more avoidable than those brought on by undue preoccupation with money. Since the beginning of recorded history, the world’s gre.e.ievA religious leaders and i 1 pniiosopners have preached'" the danger:' of materialism. Their words are still true —truer and more significant than ever before in this money-mad post-war world. Money alone will not bring happiness. Financial, social, political success will not bring happiness. Happiness comes from spiritual, not material success — from in side, not from outside. Try it yourself! See if going to church won’t do you more good than going to the bank. For All But The Fanner Increased production means higher wages and a better standard of living, the economists point out. But the reward does not go to the farmer. The more he pro duces, the lower the prices he receives. # Education /• or—-No/ Afimrist By Ruth Taylor Sometimes we are so busy talking about the >■:.<!.,i if rtf Ift that trif It ean be used both for and against The Communists are past musters in the art ot educating' 'against. CiiUVUeu ui‘.o tin first object of all education is to train citi zens, it follows that it these citizens can be molded into a tight mass bv ingraining ! false ideas by teaching hatred instead of I friendship, by showing only one side of a picture, thev become so cohesive that they can be swayed and used as one at the beck and call of the creator of their collective mind. In democracy it -is the other way. We take the stand of disputing all facts until they can be proven by the individual. Our children learn to think for themselves — which is excellent if they have some stand | arc! by which to measure the value of their own thoughts. Socrates said. “Whom, then, do I call edu cated'.’ First, those who control circum stances instead of being mastered by them: those who meet all occasions manfully and act in acordance with intelligent thinking: those who are honorable in all dealings, who treat good-naturedly persons and things that are disagreeable; and furthermore, those who hold their pleasures under control and are not overcome bv misfortune; finally those who are not spoiled by success." That is true education. If we could put it into effect in the world we could solve the problems that have so long troubled man kind. If we could learn to control circum stances, and act intelligently, we could bring our accumlated knowledge to the solution of our problems. Only as we educate toward this ideal the youth of our nation, the youth of the world, can bring peace to earth and establish ihe principles in which we in our heart of hearts believe, principles of freedom and fair play for all people. Unless we do this we will remain a prey to war and to the ambitions of self-seeking despots who will arise from the ashes of bitter strife. The task is long and it is not easy but the end is worth all it may cost. Education for good, education in understanding, is the only way out. Promising anything to got elected, the Republicans are going back on one promise after another They knew when they were making the promises that they could not be kept, but they went ahead and promised a program designed and cut to order tor the privileged few. A balanced budget was promised along with curtailed spending. A few days ago, the Senate Finance Committee voted to in crease the debt ceiling by six billion dollars to $275 billion. No one is useless in the world who light ens the burden of it for anyone else. Dick ens. BO Second Sermons By Fred Dodge TEXT: "Some people bear three kinds of trouble— all they had, all they have and all they ex pect.1"--E. E. Hide. An untimely frost com pleted the damage done by potato bugs to Mr. Perkins’ potatoes The tops ol the plants which fed the pests were destroyed, as were Mr. Perk ins' hope's of a crop. That afternoon, in the Village Post Office, he met a friend who asked, "Hello, Perkins. How’s everything at the cross-roads?" "Trouble enough; Williamson, trouble enough," was the gloomy reply. “Ten mil lion potato bugs anil nothin’ for Vfh to- eat.” .■.;.•* * . • 1 Some folks seem to delight in having trouble. They must, because they seem to enjoy displaying their troubles to every one. First, they point to the troubles they are carrying from yesterday; then they show you the troubles they are lifting to day; and, looking ahead, they add tomor row’s troubles to their load. They want you to admire their trouble-carrying muscles. If you offer to help them, they sigh that there is nothing you can do. Then they stag ger down the road looking for someone else to whom they can show the trouble they carry. Of course, it is the "other fellow’’ who does things like that. He is the one we avoid when we see him coming. By the way, have folks been avoiding you lately? I ON R 4 OlO WIAM J Rev.

Pa.) replied to a story in the Wall Street Journal recently as fol lows: A fritcr for the Wall Street Journal advances an interesting speculation as to the need for an occasional economic slowdown in the Nation. Thinking in terms of material things and ignoring the human element, he suggests that reces sions stimulate competition and trius force producers to become more efficient, invent new prod ucts for manufacture, and to re place old machinery with new. In a moment of near exhilara tion over the prospects of con tinued economic stagnancy, he concludes: "II business, instead of surging up this fall as so many expect, persists for some months longer in remaining below 1953’s best levels, the Nation may ac tually benefit by ridding itself of some of its production junk." Although the author obviously in y, we could not help wonder ing whether he realized that tne materialistic mind might also en compass labor within the meaning of "production junk." Unfort unately, many economists in high places are so prepccuoied with «he ...'iLaJLuli! i- ,---1- ■ i graphs, that they frequently tor get that people are involved. What the Wall Street vJriter is saying is that our current unem ployment of 4 million is some how beneficial to the Nation. Fur thermore, he says that a little more unemployment won’t hurt us. It will force replacement of machinery, lie says. Now it is obvious that such ideas could come only from some one who is not unemployed. Mr. Wall Street Journal could hardly sell his philosophy to the wives of the 4 million unemployed who have heard so much from the right-to-work advocates. Nor is unemployment a pleasing thing to tile children in such families. Mo thers and fathers have heard much of tins Nation's greatness, our world’s highest standard of living, and other glowing tributes. Unemployment is a swift disil lusioner. What we need is less concern for economic charts and graphs and more effort on the part of the Eisenhower administration to end this Republican recession. Merely to .. "ease production ef ficiency is a poor substitute for idle hands and damaged morale— especially at a time when we are embroiled in a global conflict with an alien ideology that breeds on unemploy ment and similar social cancers State RanksLow Id Polio Cases North Carolina "ranked near in Hollo incidence during the last five years, U. S. Public "Wraith—f»**, -iH: -w Standing 45th among the 48 states and the District of Colum bia in polio case rate. North Ca rolina’s record a.- a low polio prevalence state -war bettered oi.i.v by Georgia, m 46th plate; Alabama in 47th; Pennsylvania in 48th, and South Carolina on the bottom rung of the ladaer. These official figures were pub lished by the National Associa tion for Infantile Paralysis, and were made public through the office of the North Carolina Board of Health, at the request of Hugh Morton of Wilmington and Linville, chairman of the State Advertising Committee of the Department of Conservation and Development. “North Carolina’s tourist in dustry has suffered unduly in the past because in some manner the public has gotten the impges sion that North Carolina was one of the worst polio status”,* Mr. Morton said “Statistics prove that actually North Carolina is one of the saf est places in the nation, insofar as exposure to polio is concern ed”, he continued. Even in 1953, when there was an abnormal polio incidence in three North Carolina counties, there were 21 other states with greater polio case rate than the Tar Heel State, based number of cases per 100,000 population. Nonetheless, polio reports were widely quoted during the summer and many prospective tourists stayed away from North Carolina, many actually shifting vacation plans to visit states with a much higher polio rate than North Ca rolina, Morton said.
