This is a worthwhile project whole every one will benefit, yet no one person i.r ur-iu profits financially. Such things warrant ur undivided support. Situation Grows Worse Drunken drivinc is increasing in Carolina, according to the official r made this week by the safety division . I .'epartment of Motor Vehicles. During March 829 persons lost thr li es license for driving drunk, while !.i: lor the same month the number wa.s 7r;; the first three months in 1948. there 2.400 convicted of driving drunk r. hkh n. North Carolina. Two thousand four hundred potential rers. No law has ever been written that i stiff to be imposed on a person who ri. ive on the highways while drunk. L ,t legislature stepped up the minimum but it is still too liyht. North po According To The Experts The Department of Agriculture is suuest i. I Americans with backyards raise rab bits for meat. ' The experts point out tha tl.ree does and a buck will provide l.'n pounds of choice meat a Tear, and at low cost. The experts quickly remind would-be rab bit raisers that tame rabbit meat is much mi p. nor to the wild game. The cnnpa:iso:i fx ing that tame rabbit tastes like breast of chicken. The experts go on to explain that when you get tired of rabbit meat that you soil rabbits and buy other kinds of meats. And there you have the meat problem comple'c lv solved, according to the experts. Beating Communism Some practical instruction in dcalinj with Communists was offered in a recent issue oi Collier's magazine by a youn" man. Walter P. Reuiher, who has had a wealth of success ful experience in the field . . . The story of how the Commies were beaten in the UAW reads, as Mr. Rcuther puts tt with justifiable pride, "almost like the re port of an experiment in creative democracy, and provides a demonstration of techniques which can be applied in the larger strugclc to save democracy in the world.' Mr. Reuther has no easy formula. He ad vocates alertness, education and. above all. "the momentum of a positive democratic program." Exposure of Communists, in his view, is a great deal more effective than re pression. "You can't beat Communism," he says, "by throwing embarrassing questions at witnesses in a Congressional hearing. You can't slug it to death with a club or a slo gan. You can't burn it to the stake. You have to show it up in the market place of ideas, expose it by honest dealing.

MIRROR OF YOUR MIND Are bigamists oenwally "wolves"? Rambling 'Round -Bits Of Human Interest News Picked Up By Members Of The Mountaineer Staff Answer: I doubt it The man who is married to half-a-dozen women ne-rly always is after their money, and makes love to them for purely business reasons, while the chap who marries "No. 2" without divorcing "No. 1" but doesn't make a habit of it Is too much afraid of women either to aeiy one of them or to tell the other the truth. A man with a childish craving to be "mothered," married to a wife who nags him, may be so strongly attracted to a woman he believes will treat him kindly that he will use any sub terfuge to get her. Can babies feel "nervous tension"? Answer: Even more than adults in fact, it's in infancy that the seeds of "anxiety" are planted.

LIQUOR MONEY One of the arguments used by the wets for the establishment of AHC store- i that the income derived limn liciuor decreases taxes. It ain't necessarily so. Look at these wet counties. Durham county's tax rate was a 4 Cents in 1933. It is 5.ri cents in day. Edgecombe. 91 cents in 1HM. but $1.30 today. Tyrrell. SI hi 1933, $1.54 in 194G. Carteret. SI an in 1933. and $1.80 in 194(i In Nash, the tax remained the same in 194G as in 1933. Of course, tin tax rale might have gone higlu-i had Ihere been no liquor stores m these counties. Although North Carolina's per capita income is nothing to bia.' about, we sent approximately S.'in 000,000 into northern states i, n liquor last year. Did we save that much in taxes? We used to curse the mountain moonshiners ttli, white-likker boys), but money spent with them at least continued to circulate in North Carolina. ALL-AMERICAN Some this summer Pat Preston.

Thompson Greenwood, our Raleigh correspondent, in his column on this page today, cites the record. The question of liquor stores has many angles, and one of the first to always come up is the matter of revenue the stores pro duce. The "net" on this money is not al ways as pretty a picture ac it might sound.
