ARSON IS
STEALING.
Why should North Carolina’s fire
•insurance rates be so much higher
than those of New England (an esti-
' mated 368 per cent) or so much high
er than those on the West Coast (an
estimated 550 per cent)?
Is it because there is a much great
er amount of arson in North Carolina?
Arson, by the way, is the crime of
illegally setting fire to property.
There is some arson which is ms-
‘pired by malice and desire for re-
venge, but by far the bigger per
centage of the arson is inspired by
the hope of collecting on a fire in
surance policy,
A branch of the latter form of
arson is reflected in the widespread
destruction of automobiles by fire,
and it is a statistical fact that auto
mobiles in North Carolina catch on
fire a great deal easier tiian do auto
mobiles in New England or on the
West Coast.
Some wags have ca:lled this pre-
deliction of insured property in the
South to catch fire “selling. out' to
the Yankees,” but it is not the
‘•Yarfiree” insurance companies who
are the real losers. The real losers
are the neighbors of the man who
burns up his house or his automobile,
because their insurance rates are
raised to cover and undue sectional
loss.
The man who deliberately bums
his house or car for profit is ,^iere-
fore a thief, Who kteals from his
nei^dwr—and he sho«dd be treated
I as sli^ in the courts of the State.

AAA Wheat Form*
Not Complicated^
Floyd States
“There is absolutely nothing comp
licated about "the wheat forms that
must be kept by combiners and
tjireshers of wheat who accept foD
for harvesting this year’s crop under
the 1941 marketing quota program,”
says E. Y. Floyd,' state AAA, execu-
^ve officer at State College. A fuU
explanation of the simple forms will
be made to all threshers and combin
ers at the county agent’s office • in
every county, the AAA officer said.
Floyd cited the simplicity of the
forms in the face of reports some
wheat harvesters had elected to cut
wheat for cash only, rather than
accept toll, since the latter proce
dure involves the use of AAA forms.

Any athlete will be “thrown for a
loss’’ if he poisons himself with
beer, wipe or whisky, in the opinion
of outstanding coaches. '
As the late Lord Baden-Powell,
Boy Scout founder, wrote: “. . .
the old saying that ’strong drink
makes men weak’ is a very true
one.’’
Players and coaches would say
“anaen” to that, as they did in' the
following statements in a W.C.T.U.
survey:
Red Grange: “You cannot smoke
and drink and ex
pect to succeed
as an athlete.*’
BiU Tilden: “It
is certain injury
to touch alcoholic
driidc in any form
... it is a poison
that affects mind,
eye, and. wind.’’
Helen Wills Moody: “The preci
sion tlmf teimis demands makes nec
essary total abstifiehee,' even from
beer .
Connie Mack, the grand old man of
baseball: “All the umpires together
have not put as many meq out of
the game as old man booze.’’
Pop Warner: “Abstainers are bet
ter athletes than even moderate
drinkers.”
Alonzo Stagg, grand old man of
football: “A drinking man has not
clear sight, and the athlete has got
to have it; a drinking man has not
fuU capacity in nerves, and the ath
lete has got to have it because he
caUs upon every
particle of the
stuff that is in
him to produce in
the particular
sport he is in.”
Fielding Yost:
“I have never ob
served any good
from the use of
it. I would not
waste my time

“You’U Always
Lose Here”
trying to train or develop one who
uses it. A boy or young man who
drinks does not give himself a fair
chance.”
Lloyd Jordan, Amherst CoUege:
“Alcohol is the deadliest enemy of
perfect coordination, judgment and
all-around efficiency.”
In other words, the boys who use
their heads don’t pour a poison into
their systems.

Raleigh, N. C., June 25—At a
meeting here today the state execu
tive committee of the Old North
State Fund, headed by Governor
Broughton as honorary chairman, and
Judge F. O. Bowman, prominent at
torney of Chapel Hill as state chair
man, placed finishing touches upon
plans for the conduct of a whirlwind,
state-wide financial campaign to
secure approximately $75,000 for the
purchase of an airplane ambulance
to be presented’to the people of Eng
land as *a gift of citizens of North
Carolina. ^
According to Chairman Bow
man, the pressitf needs of Great
Britain for adKional ambulance
equipihent have ?|msed the Old North
State Fimd to speed the effort to
make the proposed gift a reality. The
plane selected for the purpose is an
amphibiaii, tw^-motored Grum
man, fitted with special ambulance
facilities accomodating four stretcher
and two sitting cases, pilot, medical
attendant or co-pilot. It is this type
of airplane ambulance that the Bri-
tish-American j^bulance Corps
recommends as best suited to Eng
land’s present nAeds. “With the ac
ceptance of membership on the or-
ganization’^ Advisory Committee of
many leading citizens of the state
as a result of a personal invitiation
by Governor J. M. Broughton, Hon
orary Chairman of the Fund, we are
ready to proceed,” stated Bowman,
“and our exective committee has out
lined plans which seems to assure
the success of tha movement. The
acute distress of British civilians and
armed forces due to the lapk of ,ade-
quate ambulance facilities makes it
most desirable that this gift be pre
sented the people of England quickly.
We feel confident that the citizens
of North Carolina will respond prom
ptly and liberally to this splendid
humanitarian cause. The efforts of
the Old North State Fund to raise
$75,000 for the purchase of an ambu
lance airplane or such equipment as
England’s situation may. dictate as
the fund progresses, will be carried
on under permission of the British-
American Ambulance Corps, Inc.,
which is officially recognized by" both
the British and American govern
ments and has rendered a great ser
vice in assisting Englaiid by provid
ing ambulance equipment for use on
the British Isles and on many battle-
fronts. It is felt that the advice and
help of this national body wiU be
most valuable in promoting efficiency
and economy in 'the conduct of the
Old North State Fund’s campaign.”
Members of the executive commit
tee of the Fund, which opterates imder
a permit granted by the U. S. State
Department, are Governor J. M. Bro
ughton, honorary chairman; Fred
erick Oi Bowman,.Chapol Hill, state
chairman; George Ross Pou, Auditor,
State of North Carolina^ treasurer;
I. M. Bailey, Raleigh, executive sec
retary; Sen. D. B. Fearing, Manteo.
