THURSDAY, SEPT. 13th, 1945 PAGE TWO THE NEWS-JOURNAL, RAEFORD, N. C. The American Way BY GEORGE PECK 11 it idle to deny that the trend in America has been and still is, toward totalitarianism. This has been trans pired despite the fact that we have had an opportunity to witness its de vastating etfects on countries which have adopted totalitarianism, or hoi it forced upon them. On the other band, we have before us the indispu table evidence of the beneficience of our American System of Competirive Private Enterprise. Why this deiire for a chRi'ge? We know tiia" competit'on unatr Pr vate Enterprise is the greatest as surance to the consumer of reasonable prices and high ever-improving qual ity of products; that by and thro'igh competition the consumer gets ever increasing value for his expended dol Ju.'. Why should any consumer (and that is all of us) wish to have this nation abandon such a beneficial sys tem? We know that the profit motive of competitive enterprise is the vital propelling force that creates effici ency and stimulates effectiveness in industrial operation and that con stituting a further stimulus to io't: Etive. is the constant threat that with out efficiency, insterrl of prof't. there may be a loss. Why should ar.y A.rerion, therefore, object to any individual or corporation making a reasonable profit? We know that money invested in . competitive enterprise, in the main, represents the savings of people who have toiled and earned, and have saved part of these earnings by the practice of thrift and self-denial. It- 1 vestment in industry and business is in part "venture1 capital, which has been risked in enterprise in the hooe of making a profit. Such" investmet t is entitled to profit commensurate w:th the hazards involved and the ten-ice performed. We know that millions of Americans have a stake 1 in co repetitive enterprise.

Why have we come to believe that government and government only, has the pan acea to cure all our ails and ills? Can it be that we are losing fai'h in ourselves?

In the postwar era we are going to need the benefits that derive from ' competitive enterprise as we have never needed them in all our history Why not insist that government cease competition witn ana control over private industry; and that it turn business back to the business man, or of course, under reasonable and non hampering conditions and regulatoins? Under competitive enterprise i n peace, we became the wealthiest na tion in the world; under the direction cf men trained in competitive enter- 1 prise, in war, we became the arsenal of the world. Why then should we have the slightest doubt that this same ' competitive enterprise, which has' serv;d us so magnificently in peace f.r.tl in war. will not go on to even f. -ester aecompl.shmer.ts for the br. efi: of a!", the American people sf'.er J..o. n teert vr.nqu'ihfd? Question: How should I handle my woods to maintain a good stand of growing timber? Answer: The first step is to :ut out worthless and low quality trees in the average woods, says Extension foresters at State College. Second, Cut only the larger trees because log ging and milling costs will be lower. Then, take advantage of the pulpwood market bu converting tree tops and whole trees, that win not make saw logs, into pulpwood. In managirg mixed stands of pine and hardwed selective logging returns the great est dividends. State College Hints To Farm Homemakers (by Ruth Current) Canning is still in order. The fresh er the food the better the canned product will be. Better looking, bet ter tasting, and better lasting so select firm, fresh, ripe fruits and young tender vegetables, if you can't process them immediately, be suie to keep them cool and well ventila ted Be ready to can before you buy or gather your produce. Get up-to date, authoritative directions. Be sure the canner is ready for work. Line up your jars and lids for inspection. Discard chipped or cracked jars, dented or bent lids. Be sure you know how to scald the type you are using. Read directions carefully. Pack only what you can handle at once, and process quickly. Don't be carried away by bargains and lug home 2 bushels of this or that when you have only time and equipment to process a peck. A few jars at a time is a good plan. Look over your produce with an eagle eye and put aside any trnt shows the slightest bruise or decay. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Que.-t'n::: Can alfalfa r.r-y be fed to chl.-kens?

LADY NEARLY CHOKED WHILE LYING IN BED DUE TO STOMACH GAS One lady said a few days ago that she used to be afraid to go to bed at night.
