NATIONAL V EDITORIAL Sf vl- CruUJM 1 Monday Afternoon. Sept. 23. 19.10 People Too Silent One should not be regarded as a mere alarmist who declares national solvency is threatened by present iantie proportions of the Nation's debt and the burden of financing , another war. That was the assertion of J. Paul Leonard of Statesville in an address to the Hickory Rotary club last week. He is no mere alarmist. As usual he was advocating curtailment of government spendim- for non-defense pur poses at this time when such gigantic financ- ial burdens are necessary for the prosecution of the war in Korea and probably for a third World war. But, like Senator Byrd and other government-economy advocates, the North Carolina Fair Tax Association's executive secretary ., has been like "a voice crying in the wilder " ness." He was reported by the Hickory Daily Record to have told the Rotarians that one of 4 the most amazing and disheartening aspects of the present crisis is the lack of vital con cern on the part of a large percentage of the ' People as to the- crirastrous effect it may have oi-fnrf"rrfttionai ceoin.ftiy. '- "Generally speaking." he said, "taxpayers have just muffed one of their best opportun ities to exert their influence when they fail ed to rise up in righteous indignation and un ite in a vigorous demand that the Congress disregard wishes of the national administra tion and proceed to cut non-defense appropri ations by at least five or six billions of dol-,-' lars before voting the additional ten billions ; for armed servicer, considered essential to im - mediate war efforts." He added that "the economy bloc support ; ing Senator Byrd's proposals to cut general ; appropriations were able to reduce non-de-:: fensc items in the omnibus appropriations . bill only about one billion dollars . . . simply -'. because the economy advocates did not get . greater support in their efforts.'' It is discouraging that more people do not write their congressmen and demand greater economy in the Nation's non-defense expendi- tures. The Charlotte Observer No Closed Season Many people have rejoiced with the arrival of fall weather, as they now believe they will Steadily Rising Costs : t The current issue of Editor and Publisher,'; a leading trade publication of the newspaper ! field, carries another pathetic story of aj large newspaper closing its doors because of! continued high publication costs. . j In the past six months a number of the na- j lion's largest and best known newspapers have sold, merged cr closed their doors all to gether because of inability to break even in the business office. , The last newspaper, on the west coast, em ployed 350 people. - Earlier this year, the New York Sun merg ed with the Woi Id-Telegram. Then for 73 clays this summer, the paper was closed be cause of a strike. The cost of producing newspapers both large and small have risen sharpjy in the past few years, while management has tried to keep the cost of advertising and subscrip tions to the "pre-rise" level. In our own case, the cost of newsprint, gen eral overhead, engravings and features have increased time and time again. We have tried, through rigid economy measures, to hold our advertising rntes to the 1947 level, and the same with subscription prices, Just how much longer we will be able to maintain these pres ent prices we do not know. Many fellow publishers, and auditors have advised sever al raises, but thus far we have gone along, just hoping. We shudder to think that such was the case with so many larger newspapers they tried to fight the steady rise too long, and were swept overboard. We would not want to imply that The Mountaineer is about broke neither is this a "poor-mouth" story. It is just facts which all newspaper publishers are facing. When a merchant gets, a price increase of -0 cents a pair on shoes, he just charges ac cordingly. Newspapers find it difficult to op erate in such a manner, as much business is contracted a year ahead including subscrip tions. Today's newspapers are giving their read ers more for their money than ever before, and we know for a fact, that The Mountain eers is giving its advertisers more for their money than at any time during the 19 years the present publishers have had the paper. The circulation and readership is at an all time high. In fact, the realization of knowing that we are reaching more people twice-a-wcek than ever before has encouraged us to the point of overlooking the steadily shrinking little pro fit Uurc?, , They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo VhEN COLP CUTS EV&S AZ SZUEPJJED FOR 5v,TrCOCx ?oy :l.5RS Th:m at 3 p.m. YOU? v ' " ( ALREADY?

POU BAIIEV Some Surprising Facts According to the recent survey of farm lands and products here in Haywood, we have less than four per cent of the farm lands as being "idle". Needless to say, that is a splendid record. It shows the iniative which Haywood farmers have, and the breakdown of the various crops shows that we have a substantial backlog in every item. We were surprised to know that there are more than 104,000 apple trees in the county. The whole story is one of encouragement, and shows w hat a tremendous agricultural referendum in ui.'i operation Haywood's 3,000 farms have. 1JF.VO -- That bei -r-for-t he-boys- been off the air for three weiks, in-Korea wrangle u hMv entertain-1 will begin his Sunday niuht broad ed W'a: l:m',!;)ti lor two or three ; casts again this weekend . . .

There may be purely routine tasks at which you can keep on going till you drop, if necessary, but with work we like to call "creative," tthere are times when for largely 'unconscious reasons your "re sistance''' becomes so strong that to keep on "going through the mo tions' is a waste of time, or worse.

There is a type of teenager who has no specific disease, yet never appears "strong" enough to live the actiye, vigorous life of other youngsters of the same age. This is probably not due to malnutri tion, even where food is compara tively scarce, as In Great Britain.
