MOORE The Herald extends congratulations and best wishes to our fellow townsman, Dan K. Moore, who has been elevated to the position pf Superior Court Judge in North Carolina and resident Judge of this, the 20th Judicial District. To be come a Superior Court Judge in North Carolina one must be qualified for the position or else he would never have a chance to warm the bench. That is just how the people from the Governor down, feel about this responsible post. Mr. Moore, coming from a family in which being Judge has become a habit, is amply qualified to make a judge who will do honor to his county, state and to himself and we know that he will do just that. A STEP FORWARD After much study and careful consid eration the Jackson County Commission ers have taken a step forward in changing the old type county home system to a ? private boarding home system for the care of the aged and infirmed of the coun ty. It was announced this week by J. A. Bryson, chairman of the board, and G. C. Henson, superintendent of public wel fare, that the new system is now operat ing smoothly and that the inmates aSe much happier under the new arange ments. Under this new plan the county is re lieved of the operation and expense of the home, except for a small fraction which is handled through the welfare de partment. The funds for providing for these people come from the Federal and State welfare money ? three-fifths of the total cost from Federal funds and one fifth from the State. The county pro vides the other fifth. County officials estimate a saving to the taxpayers of several hundred dollars per month. Each inmate receives a monthly check sufficient to pay board and a small extra sum for spending money. Before the change could be made the home and the parties operating it had to be approved by the state and county wel fare and health departments. PLAIN TAIK ON OIL The American Petroleum Institute has published a booklet which explains some of the facts of life as they apply to oil. Our thirst for oil has attained almost incredible dimensions. America alone consumes more of it than was required by the entire world only ten years ago. The peak reached in wartime was below the present level. And the United States is consuming 28 times as much oil per person as the rest of the world. The industry, recognizing its obliga tions, is engaged in a $4,000,000,000 ex pansion program which is going forward as rapidly as the necessary materials can be obtained. It has managed to build up oil reserves to a new high level ? a remark able achievement in the light of consump tion figures. And, finally, it is develop ing foreign oil resources which will ulti mately relieve much of the pressure on x our domestic facilities. There hasn't been a severe oil short age ? which is a testimonial to prior plan ning by the companies in the "tight" areas. Reasonable conservation by- the using public will prevent a shortage in the future. The public is asked, for ex INSIDE WASHINGTON Washington? Here is the story behind President Truman's refusal to reappoint James M. Landis as chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board: i Washington aviation experts say that] a clique of bankers and airline executives, ! who labeled Landis as too much of a "New Dealer," convinced Mr. Truman that Lan- j dis should go. I Intimates of the retired CAB chief said he knew the "ax would fall' a consider i able time before the president announc ed he was not reappointing Landis. The bankers and airline executives, say friends of Landis, figured him as "too liberal" and opposed his appointment for a long term. He was filling the unexpir-1 ed term of L. Welch Pogue, and had he been reappointed would ftave served a full six years. Landis is known to be bitter about the chief executive's decision to drop him. When the White House made it known that he was not to be retained, the Air-j line Pilots' association* began a strong campaign of protest, but it had no effect. 1 However, Landis has accepted a busi-J ness connection with Joseph Kennedy, wealthy former ambassador to Great Britain, and is consoled by the fact that he should have no immediate financial worries. FEDERAL INSECURITY ? Workers on the federal payrolls are pointing their fingers at recent resignations among gov- 1 ernment bigwigs and saying, "I told you 1 so!" The workers have long maintained that the high cost of living has not been compensated for in federal salaries. The result, they declare, is the em ployes with long service ? some as much as 30 years ? are leaving their govern ment jobs to take better-paying positions in private industry. Most recent examples of the exodus to more lucrative private jobs were the re signations of two key members of the Fed eral Communications commission. Charles R. Denny announced last Oct. 31 that he was leaving Uncle Sam's pay roll to beconje vice president and gener- 1 al counsel of the National Broadcasting company. On Dec. 26. FCC member Ewell K. Jett went to the White House and personally submitted his resignation to President Truman. His reason for resigning, like Denny's, was primarily financial. Jett joins J.he Baltimore Sun as vice president and director, of radio. He left ? his federal post after 37 years with the government, 19 of them with the FCC. VETS EYE CONGRESS? The veter ans and their intelligence forces ? the editors of the service papers and maga zines ? are proving themselves to be more politically wise than in the past. They are keeping a sharp eye on Con gress and on the various state legislatures. And the veterans' publications are quick to interpret events and situations and 'quickly go into print with a diagnosis for their ex-GI readers. The latest illustration is publication by the Army Times of its pick of the 10 top GI news stories of 1947. The No. 1 story, of course, was the redemption of nearly $1,500,000,000 in leave bonds and inter est. However, here is the story that the Times editors chose for the No. 2 veter ans story of the year: "The admitted 'conspiracy of inaction' among Republican leaders in the 80th Congress by which they successfully stal led off a final decision on all new vet benefits and modification of existing benefits until next year ? an election year I - ? for frankly political reasons." I I Neatest trick of the year is that of the J politician who tosses his hat into the ring j and talks through it at the same time. I What, asks a reader, does a backseat ! driver do when not motoring? That's5 easy ? she spends that spare time telling friends how to cure their colds. i I In Nebraska a cow climbed up onto the roof of a barn. Probably just wanted to get a close-up view of the latest price for beef and milk. ample, to keep room temperatures in homes using oil heat to 68 degrees, and to resist the urge to speed in automobiles. All the indications are that the demand 1 for oil will continue to rise. And the in- ! dustr> is expanding daily to carry the ! load.. 1 rebruary** "BI9 Three" The Everyday Counsellor By REV. HERBERT SPAUQH, D. D. Too many people mistake Church anity for Christianity, religious j teaching and ritual for lovable Christian living. A letter is before me now from a correspondent, a | husband who is greatly plagued at home by a nagging wife. He says she is active in the work of her church, nags at him to attend, nags at him a bout everything else. He says she leaves her Chris tian profession at the church, and never practices it at home. He writes, "I know that I need help, but she na^s at me instead of try ing to help me. I have been pray- 1 ing for guidance as to whether I ! should stay on with her for the children's sake or leave her and try to establish a home for myself and the children elsewhere. This may sound like I'm crazy, but I'm not; I just want some peace and happiness in my home and in my j heart." ' Such cases are pitiful, and there j are many of them. Sometimes it is the husband and sometimes it is the wife. The tragedy in such cases is that some times these nag- ' gers and railers are active church members; active in the forms and work of the church. They have forgotten, if they ever knew, that the best definition of the God, whom they profess to worship and serve, is love. No man or woman can be a real Christian without love in his heart for God and his fellow men. . Unselfish love is the most power ful force in the world. It is strong er than any other force, than hate, bitterness, railing, nagging. The wife in this case is evident ly suffering from some mental or emotional illness. She may need competent, psychiatric, or medical treatment. She may be fighting in her own way for something which she does not possess. She may need spiritual conversion. Saint Paul wrote, "Be not over come of evil, but overcome evil with good." Let that method be tried here. He also wrote that an unbelieving wife could be sanctifi ed by her believing husband. Here is a home which desperately needs Miss Sara Jean Sutton Finalist In Contest Miss Sara Jean Sutton, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph C. Sut ton, of Cullowhee, who will gradu ate from Western Carolina Teach ers' College training school this spring, has been named one of five finalists from this region for wom en in the Angier Duke scholarship competition. The selections were made Wed nesday February 4, in Concord af ter a full day of interviews. The five girls were selected from 33 candidates in that district on the basis of their high school records, test results, and interviews. Special consideration was given to the can didates* breadth of interests, na tive ability, qualities of leadership, and personality. Like a man's arm, the soil is built up through proper use, not abuse or disuse. When land is either abused through bad crop ping systems or left to lie idle and erode, it deteriorates rapidly. God. Bitterness and anger need to be prayed out. Let the husband commit himself and his home to his Lord for salvation and guid- j ' ance. If all of his efforts fail, after I ! seeking competent guidance from his minister and doctor, there is nothing in the Bible which compels him to rear his children in a home which is'a constant battlefield. Let him separate himself and his chil dren and establish a home where there can be peace.
