Let's Drink Our Own Milk
A recent survey made by county agricultural
leaders show that there is considerably
more milk consumed in Jackson
county than is produced in the county.
This would indicate that now is the
time for our dairymen and those contemplating
getting into the milk producing
business to expand . . . and that
is exactly what we mean. At the same
time a serious over-supply of milk is occurring
with the firm now supplying
most of the milk consumed in Sylva, the
county schools, and at Western Carolina
Teachers College. This same firm has
been buying most of the raw milk produced
by Jackson dairymen, processing
it, and bringing it back, or other milk in
its place, to be consumed here;
Our farm leaders and county dairymen,
foreseeing the possibility of a curtailment
of the market for their raw milk
brought about by the milk brought in
irom other counties, have taken action
and have secured an outlet for their milk,
provided the people of the county, will
buy this processed milk. A. B. Slagle of
the Nantahala Creamery at Franklin will
-- 11- 1 J U..
Duy t!16 raw miiK, pruuuv;cu \jy o ativauii
County farmers and will deliver pasteurized
milk to the homes and business
places in the county daily, beginning
March 1st. / >.
Jackson County milltf"usert& are urged
to buy their milk from the Nantahala
firm in order to further the dairy industry
in Jackson county.
There is hardly anyone in the county
who does not want to see more farm and
industrial income in the county. Patronizing
Jackson County milk producers
is one way to help increase Jhis income.
o
Bondage In The Name Of Liberty
In a discussion of the welfare state
idea, Dean Russell of the Foundation For
Economic Education observed, "The advocates
of this compulsory 'security' honestly
seem to believe that most Americans
. . . are too ignorant, or lazy, or
worthless to be trusted with their own
destiny; that they will literally starve
V w
in the streets unless their welfare is
guranteed by a 'benevolent' government.
However good their intentions may be,
these disciples of a Relief State are demanding
that they be given the power
to force mankind to follow their plans.
In the name of liberty they advocate
* bondage!''
The complete welfare state must be a
slave state. In the early days of this
country, when slavery of the Negro existed,
Georgia passed laws that guaranteed
all slaves "the right to food and raiment,
to kind attention when sick, to
maintenance in old age ..." The slaves
thus were given "security". But they
were slaves nonetheless, subject to the
unchallengeable orders of their masters.
In modern times, we have seen "security"
on a far wider scale. In Russia, for
instance, everyone is given a place to live
q nortain amount to eat and wear.

THE
Pine Creek Goes Forward
The citizens of the Pine Creek community
made a big step forward Monday
night when they met and organized an
area development program and elected
officers to carry on the work. A. C. Edwards
was elected chairman of the committee,
Fred J. Brown, vice chairman and
Mrs. Pearl Stewart, secretary.
An article elsewhere in this issue of
The Herald states the purpose of the
program and the goals it hopes to attain.
This community is to be commended for
leading the way in this type of community
work. We expect to see many more
communities of Jackson County follow
these wide awake Pine Creek citizens.

Why Advertise?
Advertising should be expanded rather
than curtailed in times of recession,
Paul G. Hoffman, UJconomic uo-operauon
Administrator, told the Sales Executives
club of New York recently.
Linking the United , States business
situation to the cold war, Mr. Hoffman
declared, Editor & Publisher reports,
that an economically strong America is
a bulwark in the defense against totalitarianism.
"I don't need to tell you," he said, "that
when it comes to a cut in the budget, almost
the first item on the list is advertising.
When sales start going off is no
time to let up on advertising. If we meet
our responsibilities, that is obviously the
time to expand."
"At the present time," he added, "such
expansion is not only significant in the
marketplace; it has political significance
of great moment indeed, because this recession
has started to recede, and if we
' hit, and hit hard now, the recession upon
which the Russians have been counting
will not come off."
' American business, said Mr. Hoffman,
has a "unique advantage" in the range
and effectiveness of its advertising media
as compared with those in European nations,
"but these instrumentalities will
not be effective unless they are employed."
o
Supporting Our Band
This newspaper has carried numerous
editorials and news stories concerning
our school band, urging everyone to support
the band in order that we might have
a creditable organization. This is to
again urge as many as can to hear the
band in concert Friday, March 3, when
it plays a special benefit performance in
order to raise funds for a much needed
bass horn. We feel that our people now
need little urging to support the band,
merely to suggest attending and you will.
The performances given by the band
since last September amply prove that
it is a big asset to the community and has
its place in the promotion of our community
just as much as any other organization.
The boyS and girls, under Director Ben
Cole, are developing into a fine band and
we expect to hear much from them in
the future.

seeds of the welfare state here through
public medicine, housing, banking
power development, farming, etc.

The Everyda;
By REV. HERBERT
The only way to get ahead fi- f

tailing the sovereignty of states, '
and reducing the self-determination

local government.
"Make no mistake. It is social'

"If socialism is what we want

WHAT OTHEh
Not Idle Talk
Raleigh Newt And Observer
Professor Albert Einstein says
that the "hysterical race" for the
hydrogen bomb between the United
States and Russia "threatens to
poison the atmosphere and annihilate
life on this earth."
Coming from the one man who
probably knows more about the
subject than any other single individual,
this it not idle talk. It is
a serious and solemn warning.
Concerning the public debate
over whether the hydrogen bomb
should be made, this wry parody
of Churchill's famous remark may
be made: Never have so many
known so little about so much.?

Spectacular Results
Newton Enterprise
The remarkable record made in
the 1950 March of Dimes Campaign
in Catawba county merits a
post script to previous comment
in this column.
Donations totaling over six thousand
dollars over the quota given
in the campaign make headline
news. But it is spectacular news
when the quota is as large as that
assigned Catawba county?twenty-five
thousand dollars.
The county organization that
produced these results and all
who aided, through ^ime, talents
and money are to be congratulated.
Chairman Hubert Kelly of the
county campaign is due a hearty
"well done" from all citizens for
the manner in which he led ^the
county to successful completion
of the drive.
Our 'Campaign' Problem
Ashevllle Citizen
Appointment of a committee of
seven persons to draft a plan for
regulating solicitations in Buncombe
County is a long step toward
correcting an unhealthy siti
loUftn in this rnmmunitv?the
tireless and demanding round of
"drives." There were 70 of them
last year, some legitimate, some
dubious, and nearly all of them
failures.
The Citizen hazards the gu?ss
that the community at large and
certainly the major givers in Asheville
and Buncombe would support
a Board of Review to pass on campaigns
and screen out the undesirable
ones. Dozens of times during
any given year businessmen and
individuals are put under pressure

to give to causes of which they
know little or nothing. The result
is that the important causes and
projects suffer badly. It is safe to
say that tens of thousands ^
of dollars leave the community
every year to serve no worthy
purpose whatever. Much, too
much, of the "giving" game is a
simple form of racketeering.
The community could put its
foot down on this unsavory business
if it wished. Thus we look
forward to the recommendations
of the committee of seven named
by a number of civic agencies to
get at the root of campaigning and
bring it in line with Asheville's
capacity to give. Other cities have
found this procedure to be the only
rpmpHv which would really work.
