On Being Vigilant
That the price we pay for liberty
is eternal vigilance may seem like
old stuff to some ot us. We are
prone to relax after being vigilant
for five years during a hard war.
Like the next man, we pay more
attention to signs of optimism than
to those danger signals that are
likely to call us to vigilance.
As modern-day Americans,.^ve in
dicate by our actions and our inter
ests that we are concerned about a
lot of things?but perhaps least con
cerned about playing Paul Revere
roles. Let Samuel Adams and John
Hancock and Thomas Jefferson and
Patrick Henry and A. Lincoln and
all the others stay in their history
books. v'.We won our freedom in
1776, and we've kept it since. So why
take the trouble to worry about be
ing vigilant in 1947?
Take the Trouble
During the war we were told what
to be vigilant against, and much of
what we were fighting for. Even
particular freedoms were enumer
ated. We knew too, which particu
lar dictators were giving us trouble.
But today Hitler is gone. Mussolini's
ambitio.is are dust. It was a lot of
trouble, but we paused to finish the
job. We were strong enough to do it,
and we are still strong.
It is always a lot of trouble to have
a mind toward our freedoms. With
three-fourths of the world embrac
ing doctrines which oppose our cher
ished freedoms, and with many of
the nations of the world scorning
our kind of Republic, we shall have
to keep on taking trouble to defend
our way of life. This is true, even
when we know that our Republic is
the best and most prosperous any
where in the history of *ivilizati6n.
Defense of the Mind
We have called America the melt
ing pot, the place where the cradle
of liberty was first rocked, the
refuge of all the persecuted of hun
dreds of brands of minorities. We
have been a thrifty people, an active
people, a people building a con
tinent?all the while warding off ty
rants from abroad and havingy care
at home for your freedomsVajnd
mine.
How is it, then, that we have
been caught napping? Have we not.
in times of confusion at home and
ailowed doctrines to creep
tll-^hieh would chain our minds
and shackle our bodies as well?* Dis
torting, misleading, Coring from
within, state socialism at home and
abroad presents to us the kir d of
curse that tyranny has always been
to free man. Inroads have been
made on some sectors of the Amer
ican mind.
Constructive Program
Did you know that polls have
shown that 51 pec ccnt of our people
io not know what a balancid budget
is? That virtually a third have "no
conception of the meaning of "free
snterprise?" That many of us think
it all right to owe a huge. national
Jcbt to ourselves? Th:.t secur.tv is
something Congress can hand out?
That inflation is acceptable because
t creates wealth? That there are
*a>'s to cam more by diiuvg kss?
All these thir.es are fallacies. Y.VJi
Dther fail icits they will en 'ave, ju: t
as sure.y as any tyrar.t. We must
nake our plot form fret r'orri. Can
.here be ^ more constructive pro
gram than that of free men? Amer
cans cverywh; re must pr pa re the
defense of their own r. :j , against
Ibe inroads of e- ? >v:r.g lO-as.

IN ROACH CONTROL,
THOROUGHNESS PAYS
The secret of thorough eradica
tion of the cockroach is thorough
application of the material used to
combat the pest.
The reason why cockroaches so
often appear soon after the appli
cation of an insecticide is that some
hiding place has been missed in the
treatment, says Dr. Clyde F. Smith,
Associate Professor of Entomology
with the N. C. Agricultural Experi
ment Station.
Reaching every crack and crev
ice where the pest might lurk is
particularly important with DDT,
which is the recommended ma
terial for eradicating the cock
roach, because the pest is killed by
coming into contact with the ma
terial.
He recommends the use of the
DDT in either the 5 or 10 per cent
dust form, applied with a dust gun.
However, a cheesecloth bag of the
dust, which can be shaken against
the openings where the cockroach
might be hiding, has been found
effective as a means of applica
tion. ?
Before the dust is applied, all
cooking utensils, dishes and food
should be well covered so that none
of the dust could fall on, them.
Any dishes that might be left un
protected should be washed thor
oughly before using.
If the firit application has been
thorough, a second one will not be
needed for several months, Dr.
Smith says. However, should the*
roaches appear sooner than that,
make a second application at once,
being sure the second itme to in
clude more possible hiding places
of the pest. w
