Subscription Rates..._ ....S2.O0 per year in advance PAUL DICKSON ^ Editor and Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Raeford. N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1870. Let*s Keep Our Schools Free Notice appears in an article about a PTA meeting this week to the effect that a resolution was passed favoring Federal aid for education. We hope Congressmen in receipt of such resolutions will always pause and consider their source and the fact that Parent-Teacher associations often have their opinions influenced to a great degree by the teacher half of the association. We do not say this to detract from the credit for the manifold good that Parent-Teacher associations ac complish every year. We are against Federal aid to education because we hate to see this country just lie down and go 100 percent bureau cratic. with all its institutions and individuals becoming par asites to the government. It’s that way to an alarming degree right now. It is getting to where an individual or an organi zation doesn’t have to be able to produce, because there is frequently some form of government handout on which he or it can get along. Any individual thought becomes increas ingly more unnecessary under this setup, because all that is necessary to qualify for the “check” is obedience to the rules. It appears to us that such a system can lead us to become a nation of drones with only a few top individuals doing the thinking. That, friends, is what we have referred to as “Total itarianism” for the past several years. Therefore, let us keep our schools, where people are being trained to run our country in the years to come, free from the Federal control that will inevitably and inexorably come with Federal money. . ‘ 0 Clear the Way for Firemen / Mayor W. L. Poole lays down the law in no uncertain terms this week to those of us who act like a mob answering a fire alarm., and we commend him for it. It is a fact that bad acci dents almost happen frequently because of people being where they shouldn’t be after a fire alarm and getting in the way of the firemen. In missing these accidents the firemen are diverted from their pressing duty, that of getting to the fire and fighting it. , Two results if this sort of thing doesn’t stop are: 1. Some one is going to get killed; and, 2. Someone is going to lose a home or store or valuable property that didn’t have to be lost. Funny thing is, the person who is in the firemen’s way today may be the person who suffers the loss, now or in the future. At any rate, there s a law in this town against obstructing the fire company and the mayor says he’s going to enforce it . He may need the support of the town in doing this , and we want to see him get it. MORE ABOUT Cage Practice V - ander.
