Your Share Costs $405
This week President Truman asked Con
gress to approve a military budget of over
$61 billion. The huge sum was sought as a
means to help prevent "another and more
frightful global war."
, Most of us looked at the staggering figure,
and realized it was a lot of money, but did
not go beyond that point. in trying to deter
mine just how much.
' Hud the president announced he was ask
ing every man, woman and child in America
to come across with $40;! in the next year just
. for .military needs we would perhaps have
taken a different attitude towards the re
quest. I In short, the request is for $405 -from every
American citizen. Now we can begin to real
ise what war or even .the preparation for
tyar-costs'' in dollars and cents. Yet, that is
(illy the secondary costs the costs in human
suffering, anxiety, and disruption of homes
cannot be counted in figures behind a dollar
mark.
Edwards Gets Defense Post
Mayor Dan K. Edwards, of Durham, and
Lake Junaluska, was given an editorial in the
current issue of the Southern City, official
organ of the North Carolina League' of Mun
icipalities, as follows:
President Truman has appointed Mayor
Dan K. Edwards of Durham to be Assistant
Secretary of Defense. Mayor Edwards who
served in the Army during World War II won
the Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver
Star with oak leaf cluster, the Air Medal, the
Combat Infantry Badge, and the Purple
IJeart. He rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel and
served on the general staff,
j, Washington's gain in getting Dan Edwards
i$ certainly the League's great loss. As Mayor
of one of our largest cities, as Vice-President
of the League and as its Legislative Commit
tee Chairman directly responsible for the suc
cess of the Powell Bill, his absence from the
municipal government scene in North Caro
lina will be keenly felt. League officials and
members' heartily congratulate him upon the
hjpnor he has received, and wish him good
fprtune in his new post.
MIRROR' OF YOUR MIND
Typographical Errors
Like all other publishers, Miss Beatrice
Cobb, of The News-Herald, Morganton, is al
lergic to typographical errors. In a recent edi
torial, she wrote:
Typographical erri)rs have caused me more
concern than all the other newspaper troub
les I have ever had added together. Maybe I
worry about them too much. As a matter of
fact it's a wonder, with all the chances there
are for errors to creep in, that the average
newspaper is as free of them as it is. That it's
a common failing with all newspapers offers
a little consolation, but I much prefer that)
those that are bound to happen dod out in I
some other paper than The News-Herald. It's
always after the paper is on the press or in
the mails that they stand out like "sore
thumbs" and I can always find them then.
They are certainly elusive little pests that
have a habit of showing up after the search
for them has ended.
The person who wrote feelingly the follow
ing rhyme was no doubt a newspaper man or
woman:
"The typographical error is a slippery thing
and sly,
You can hunt till you are dizzy, but it .some
how will get by.
Till the forms are off the presses it is strange
how still it keeps;
It shrinks down into a corner and it never
stirs or peeps,
That typographical error, too small for human
eyes,
Till the ink is on the paper, when it grows to
mountain size.
The. boss be stares with horror, then he grabs
his hair and groans;
The copy-reader drops his head upon his
t hands and moans
The remainder of the issue may be clean as
can be,
But that typographical error is the only thing
you can see."
In this connection the thing that has al
ways amazed me about typographical errors
is the tendency of a wrong letter to fall into
a place where it will spell a right word with
a ridiculous meaning. It took me several years
to be able to see anything funny about an er
ror of this kind that occurred one week on the
society page of The News-Herald. In the story
of an announcement it had been written that
at the close of the luncheon the bride's moth
er arose and gracefully announced the en
gagement of her daughter." The letter "t"
fell instead of "c" in the word gracefully,
making us say that the bride's mother "grate
fully announced the engagement of her
daughter. ''
' I have always felt very grateful because
that bride had a sense of humor and did not
hold against us such an absurd error.

Answer: There is little use in
trying to do this, says Howard
Jones in Mental Health (London).
Young delinquents as a rule are
ultra-social rather than anti-social
and try to make up for the
unsatisfactoriness of their family
ties by intense devotion to a
group of other children of their
own type. It will be better for
leaders of youth to work with the

so as to steer the group spirit

AND THE LATE Speaking of
marriages, one of our friends last
week fell to talking about "men
working themselves to death these
days". His thought was that the
average man is laboring and wor
rying himself into an early grave
in order to supply labor-saving de
vices for the missus. This idea had
been in the back of his head, it
seems, for some time: but he had
no proof of the dark musing until
he happened to be looking over
the society page the other Sun
day. "Just read the society section of
your paper and you will see what
I mean," he remarked. We follow
ed his advice.
Try it yourself. You will find
sentences like this:- "Miss Kmma
Bloke, daughter of Mrs. I. y. Bloke

was married to Joe H. Doakes. Jr.
son of Mrs, Joe Doakes and the
late Mr. Doakes." -

MORE FACTS ABOUT APPLES

For the benefit nf those interact

wish to correct an error in a state
ment attributed to nie in your
article on Saunook aPbles in Am i)
30 issue, You stated that I point

manded a striped apple. You must

ply because the red snort strains
of these and other varieties had
either not been discovered or not
introduced long enough to be
available or recommended Im
planting.
My earliest recollection of annle
markets is that thev h ave shown
a decided preference for red ap
ples and those showing most red
color, even in the striped varieties.
nave Been in strongest demand nnd
sold for the most monev As soon
as the red sport strains of the old
standard striped varieties reached
tne markets in sufficient volume in
: make an effect, the demand hecam
insistent for these redder strains
that produce more solid red or al
most solid red apDles, so that it
has become increasingly difficult t0
sell the old striped varieties as
long as any of their red sport
strains are available and the mar
kets pay materially less for the
striped apples they do take. So,
progressive orchardists have been
planting the red sport strains for
a number of years and either re
moving the old striped varieties or
topworking them over the red
strains,
Some peoDle say that some of
the old striped varieties have high
er eating quality than their red
sport strains. While this is to some
extent a matter of individual taste,
there is evidence that some of the
red sport strains do not have as
nign eating quality as their strip
ed parents but in the case of Red
Delicious, Red Stay mans and Red
Komes I tmnk generally speaking
that the eating quality is as Bond
