CARING FOR CHILDREN
Orphanages of North Carolina have made such a fine record
in caring for the health of their children, that it has put some
of us real parents to shame. Consider the fact that only 16 of
young men who grew up in the five large orphanages of
the state were rejected for military service on account of phy
sical hanicaps. Compare this 1.4 per cent to the general rejec
tions in the state of 56.8 per cent.
What is the difference?
The difference, we are sure, lies in the jealous care with
which our child-caring institutions watch over the development
of their wards and the measures they take to prevent the spread
of disease among them.
We are not disposed to take an iota of credit from the or
phanages. They are certainly not working with a group of
children who have the physical advantage. Orphanage children
start out with the Same body equipment as most other children.
Attention and care make up the difference and for these the
institutions deserve the highest praise.
We only wish natural parents would develop a like conscience
for the welfare of their young. Moreover, with the aid of the
new medical care program in North Carolina, we believe they
will at least approach the same kind of care.—Shelby Daily Star.
STILL THE BEST SYSTEM
The production of 100-octane aviation gasoline by American
refineries, has been one of the wonders of World War II. It
was discouraging to our enemies. It shows that brains and
initiative are more important in winning wars, than dictators.
It shows that American industry can do when called upon in
an emergency. It not only had to build the plants to produce
this high-test gasoline, but it had to perfect the processes by
which it could be produced in quantity. It was ready to “go,”
however, without entangling delays.
American oil companies set a record that no government-dom
inated industry could meet. It is accomplishments like this that
should cause the American people to be proud of their free en
terprise system. Like all human activity, it may not be perfect
and there is room for constant improvement, but so far no other
system of industrial production has been able to hold a candle
to it. Furthermore, as in the case of oil, it is elastic and ready
to meet emergences, instead of being bound by redtape and
and inefficiency which are unavoidable under politically con
trolled industries where expediency, from the standpoint of
maintaining party power, is too often more important than ef
ficiency.

IDEAS HELPED WIN THE WAR
HERE’S something that may be of help to you. And.
that’s what to do with your idea of something lhatl
may be used in winning the peace.
I visited the other day an organization that welcomed
anything, or any idea, that had to do with winning the
war. And you know where that is! Its the Victory Cen
ter, New York Cjty.
It's a cleaning house for war-winning ideas; doesn’t
make- a penny on them. The idea came from Nathaniel
Singer, who is in the optical business in New York, and
he puts up the money to run the ottice.
This is the way Victory Center works; when
an idea comes in, three experts examine it. If
it seems worth while, it is sent on to the proper
agency. This may be some department in
Washington, or it may be some civilian organi
zation somewhere in the United States. It sorts
the little potatoes from the big potatoes before
passing the big ones on to where they’ll do the
most vood.
The head examiner is Dr. Theodore Abel, professor
of sociology at Columbia university. New York.
I asked Mr. Singer what kind of ideas Victory Cen
ter wanted and he said. “Tell your readers not to
One man sent in this idea: that the United Stated
finance the war with a national lottery. He said that
the Louisiana Purchase was paid for by public lottery,
and that the idea i» just as practicable now as it was then.*
He was slightly mistaken about the manner of paying
for Louisiana.
One man sent in this, and it’s a good one; that every
life raft be equipped with a kite which could be sent up
to attract attention of aviators to the men adrift.

bought war bonds with the money taken in. Victory Ren
ter liked the idea and wrote letters to 9.000 chambers of
commerce throughout the United States suggesting they
get their own town or city to adopt the idea.
A woman suggested that neighborhood groups put
on home talent shows that turn the profits into war
bonds.
