NATIONAL EDITOtlAl. ASTpCMUdiN j 3XL f CnSti pk. gjUJ.ASaukiaJtaj Thursday Afternoon, March 9, 1950 Showing Its Worth v: Coming of Olin Industries, Inc., to Western North Carolina where it has acquired the fa cilities of the Ecusta Paper Corporation and will go into the manufacture of cellophane with a $10,000,000 to $20,000,000 construction program and employment of at least 500 more workers, ought to give North Carolina a niw and increased conception of the value ojf its water resources. It was, we learn from the Alheville Citi zen, the pure water of Davidson River which brought Ecusta to North Carolina in the first place and is now responsible, for the acquisi tion and expansion which have just been an nounced. But let's call in the Citizen to give its direct and first-hand testimony. Once more, it should be observed, one of the most prized of all natural resources good water was the deciding factor in bring ing this now factory to Translyvania County. It has been said that Ecusta found no rival for the water of Davidson River, ; and that primacyusfstill tiolcftflehis'lble&iftfof' pure water, it is a proper time to remember, is one that is giving such scientific students as William Vogt increasing concern because of the wasteful forestry and agricultural operations that are ominously depleting water resources in the Western states, particularly. This mountain area of a half continent boun-, tifully endowed by nature should resolve to continue, without wearying in well-doing, its course of forest and "water conservation. Ecusta. Olin's prospective cellophane, Enba and other industries demonstrate in striking, and very substantial, fashion that conserva tion pays. Certainly here is as strong an argument as anyone might wish for the sort of stream con servation and anti-pollution program which North Carolina does not have but which vest ed interests have succeeded in defeating at one legislative session after another. North Carolina's future is to large degree, as syn thetic chemistry comes more and fore into its own and the everyday lives of the consumer, dependent upon the natural resources which enter into its products; and of these pure, un polluted water is to the forefront. Greensboro Daily News The shooting incidents on the streets here Saturday night and early Sunday brought out several points regarding our law enforce ment departments. First, and foremost, the officers proved themselves fearless and able to cope with the situation, by making carefully laid plans,' working together, and keeping cool heads. The results prove all this. It was also proven Saturday night, the value of two-way radio in law enforcement work. The fact was all officers cooperated together 100 per cent, and the use of radio kept them informed every' minute as to the whereabouts of every other car in the search. This would have been impossible without radios. Those two points could be listed under assets. Under liabilities should come the fact that the officers did not have guns for heavy duty work, and were poorly protected by the lack of bullet-proof windshields. "Mass" shootings like this do not happen often, but then one never knows when the difference between life and death might be a windshield made to withstand the onslaught of bullets. The life of an officer is at stake every time he stops a car, or goes to make an arrest He has no assurance that he will not face a hail of bullets. Their work is dangerous, and they should be given every possible means of protection. Not even our. patrol care are equipped with bullet-proof windshields. Such glass is much heavier, and more expensive, but after all, protection of the lives of officers should be the first consideration. One case of the value of bullet-proof wind shields will be remembered back in the late 1930's when Hugh J. Sloan, Jr., a Waynes- ville man, was a member of the highway pa trol. He was chasing three men down near Wilmington for killing a patrolman at Ashe ville. The men opened fire on Patrolman Sloan and peppered his windshield with 30.30 bullets. The heavv class withstood tho on. slaught, and all three men 'were caught. Two were electrocuted, and one given 99 years in prison. The bullet-proof windshield enabled Patrolman Sloan to make the arrest. Other wise, he would have been killed within a few minutes after the chase started. There are numerous other incidents where bullet-proof windshields have; saved the, lives Of officers-, Wodfbttfrerartre&o1isf6thediscon tinuance of the heavy glass windshields, but off-hand, it appears that the time has come for using them again.

After the necessary computation and the reply give, the customer thanked him and added: "I am leaving In a few minutes for a three weeks' visit to Florida, and 1 just wanted ot know." Then as the rest of the office force drifted in, each stopped to chat en route to his desk.

Capital Letters By EULA NIXON GREENWOOD GRAHAM SUPPORT They arent saying much about it in the school room, but reports reach ing Raleigh are to the effect that 90 per cent of the school teachers in North Carolina are doing a lot of mental whooping it up for Sen, Frank Graham to be returned to Washington, D. C, for another four years . , . a recurrence of 1938 and 1944 McDonaldism. Our Newest Industry Our newest industry is operating "full blast" and from all indications, getting off to a good start. We refer to the Smoky Moun tains Fertilizer Company. It is the only plant of this type in all West ern North Carolina, and is making plant food that is especially suited for the crops and soils of this area. The plant represents a large outlay of money, and the men behind the project have spent a lifetime in the fertilizer business. A number of men are employed, and as the business expands, even more men will be given jobs. ' The management of the plant is working closely with all agricultural agencies in mak ing the fertilizer which is found by local scientific tests to be best suited for farms of Western North Carolina. AWAY Since most of them will be away from home and in the midst of commencements on the day of the primary, their active strength will be as weak as a May wind. However, indications are that more than one teacher will leave for home after school on Friday so as to be able to drop one in the box for Frank Graham ... on the weekend of the primary. himself only echoing the senti ments already expressed by Frank Graham.

Education Association sometimes referred to .. as the Teachers Union friendly nods will be made in the direction of Incum bent Graham. Nevertheless, when they return to their schools silence will prevail, for school boards frown exceedingly angrily on school people dabbling in politics until they, have reached the super intendent or principal stage. , MIRROR OF YOUR MIND tfy LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist titled to, or which someone "ought to" give you. Psychologically, your rights are the. satisfactions you caa fight for with a clear con science if necessary, but that does not mean at fighting for them is in your own long-term interest.

Answer: Yes, says Dr. David C. WilseA of the University of Vir ginia Medical School. Just as deep emotional disturbances may bring oa bodily illness, so the illness, if prolonged, may warp, the patient's thinking and emotions. He may lose interest in everything but his symptoms, (nay unconsciously capitalize his helplessness and keep himself ill becauso he en isibainjjtakenc xt,t65 bis self -absorption ma become 'so complete that he stops trying to adjust to the adult world and slips back to the childishness of pay- , chosia. - HAIL ALUMNI! The report was out last week ana it came from deep within the heart of the Frank Graham - for - Senator head quarters that alumni 'of the Unl versity of North Carolina would be contacted by circulars and other wise with appeals to go down the line for the alma mater's former president. The matter has been discussed with Dr. Frank, but he thought it hardly fair. However, latest plans are to move ahead with the idea, which eventually may do more harm than good. If the alumni list is made available to Graham head quarters, it will no doubt be sent, also, to Candidates Willis Smith Bob Reynolds, Olla Ray Boyd, et als. Since Smith is chairman of the Duke University Board of Trustees, he might be able to obtain some names from there. Frank Graham's publicist Is an alumnus of Wake Forest, so he might rink in the Baptists. All in all, it does look as if coL lege grads are going to have a lot of reading to do. Let us all hope that the letters-to-alumni idea came, from someone in Graham's camp who is letting his, or 'her, enthusiasm for the cause get the better of his, or her, judgment. NOTES Regarding Gov. Scott's blast at his Utilities Commission: The feeling here in Raleigh was that it was all right if he wished to lambast his appointees, but what was the advantage in doing it for the public . . . that is, through the newspapers and radio? . . . Although businessmen are complaining about sales, the sales tax in February ran about $125,000 over February a year ago . . . General Fund revenue, including sales tax, income tax, and about eight other items was nearly a million dollars less this February than in February of 1949. In oth er words, some income was up, others down. Income tax collec tions accounted for the biggest loss . . . and the General Fund is in bad shape, is staring hungrily at March 15 . . . . . . If the people who are writ ing wiring, and phoning Willis Smith aren't kidding, the Raleigh candidate will have no trouble getting into the second primary . ... with the chances good that he will be high man . . Of course. it is; stilt over two months until the .'first 'primary and a lot of things can happen . . . One of his staunchest supporters is Col. W. T. Joyner, son of former Super intendent of Instruction J. Y. Joy ner, who has already written a let ter to be used by Frank Graham's front men . . .

FEPC, after all; he's against socialized medicine; and he's Interested in a lot more things than history and world plans.
