* Rich Have No Cause to Worry
A young man, who is vice
president of a New York bank,
told me that he dined recently
at a fashionable resort.
"All the other guests were
very rich," he said. "They were
older people, many of them re
tired. They were shaking in
their boots. They are afraid

there will be a social upheaval
and that their money will be
taken awayl"
I told him I thought these
people had a right to worry.
"The social order will not be
over-turned," I said, "nor will
people like your friends be strip
ped of their possessions. But I
do believe that the rich will be
poorer and the poor will have a
degree of comfort and security
that they have never possessed
before. And this will be better
for everybody.*'
In saying this, I am taking a
position which is contary to my
own selfish interests, for, while
I am not and never shall be rich,
I have an income that is much
above the average. If taxes are
higher, mine will go up with the
rest.
But shouldn't they? What have
I done to deserve as much as I
get out of life? ,
If I have used intelligence, it
is not greatly to my credit. I hap
pened to have been born into a
home of culture. I was sent to
college, and my expenses were
paid.
Many rich people, who are wor
ried for fear they will have to
bear a larger burden in the fu
ture, have had all these advan
tages, plus the added advantage
of inherited wealth. When they
grumble they give me a pain.
Surely, we who have had the
best luck in this country are go-

ing to be wise enough to recog
nize it and to assume cheerfully
our full share of the load.
• . . . Take the Profit Out of War
My friend Admiral Samuel Mc-
Gowan was purchasing agent for
the Navy during the World War.
He saw' something of the fine
idealism and sacrifice which war'
calls forth. But he saw, also, how
greed and profiteering and the
basest sort of foolishness wrap
themselves in the cloak of patrio
tism and proceed cold-bloodedly
to exploit the public necessity.
He suggests a plan for preven
tion that would entirely remove
the present premium on war and
in its stead impose a very heavy
penalty.
I cannot see how any intelli
gent patriotic person can object
to that proposal. If we had the
sense and courage to write it into
the Constitution at once we should
destroy war propaganda, for no
one would be so foolish as to spend
money on propaganda when no
money could possibly be made
from war.
The silliness of war, under
modern conditions of destructive
ness, is almost as appalling as its
horror.
The
FAMILY DOCTOR
(By John Joseph Gaines, M. D.) |
SUGAR IMPORTANT TO
HEALTH
An authority from Vienna at
tributes "strikingly favorable re
sults" in the treatment of heart
disease and stomach ulcers, with
table sugar. If I had these sort of
complaints, I'd consult my doctor
as to how to use the sweet. You
know, sugar is one of our staples.
The value of sugar "in relieving
fatigue and supplying quick en
ergy," also has scientific endorse
ment. The Vienna authority is
believed to be the first to suggest
the use of sugar in the treatment
of certain widely prevalent dis
ease. He, (Dr. Rocht) claims to
have used sugar in the treatment
of stomach and duodenal ulcers,
with good success. He noticed in
crease of appetite, with better
food-tolerance, an increased sup
ply of mucous, favored by the su
gar.
_ He saw improvement in the ha
bitual constipation in such cases,
with notable gain in weight. Too,
remarkable increase in nerve
force, less melancholia, and more
happy disposition in the gloomy
victims.
The relief was not immediate
but gradual and lasting. He says,
"sugar is the most important nu
tritional element of the heart, in
that it lowers blood-pressure and
stimulates the liver and kidneys."
Dr. Donald A. Laird, of Colgate
University, contributes to a scien
tific symposium on sugar; he
states that sugar contributes to
restful sleep. This argues, almost,
for a chocolate at bedtime, doesn't
it?
Dr. Laird also deqjares it to be
valuable in curing "vague feelings
of fatigue, so common among phy
sicians' patients." A remedy for
"that tired feeling," so commonly
met. In short, if sugar helps re
lieve mental and physical tire,
and favors restful sleep, then it
certainly is among our most val
ued foods.

As Federal reports and studies
dealing with national affairs dur
ing the last few years are given
to the Congress as a basis for
considering new government pro
grams and policies, ample evi
dence is found that North Caro
lina has underlying stability
equaled by only a comparatively
small number of states. Support
of this statement is available in
volumes of Federal statistics and
data regarding the state's indus
try, commerce and agriculture.
They tell a graphic story of how
well North Carolina weathered the
storms of the depression and
how well the state is prepared to
move forward during the fairer
economic weather ahead.
One reason the state enjoys
such a favorable position is be
cause of the diversity of its agri
culture and industry. Farmers are
not forced to depend on a single
commodity nor industrial workers
on a single branch of industry.
And along the seaboard, in the
Piedmont region and in the
mountains, are found many indi
cations that the economic stabil
ity in North Carolina is well
founded.
Naturally, the fine standing of
the state, reflected in the reports
and studies sent to Congress, is a
source of much gratification to
the members of the delegation in
Congress. It should also bring
pride to all citizens, particularly
at this commencement season for
schools and colleges, when so
many of our younger generation
prepare to face the problems of
life, economic and social.
On numerous occasions, my
colleagues in Congress who have
visited North Carolina or passed
through the state enroute to and
from other destinations, have been
loud in their praise of the physi
cal appearance of the state. They
have referred to the skyline of
smoke belching from factory
chimneys and the hum of busy
machinery. They have referred
to the well-painted and well-kept
homes that line the highways.
They have referred to the busy
communities reflecting the active
life of North Carolinians —all in
dicating that people are noticing
the way in which our state is
quietly going about solving its
problems to the advantage of all
citizens.
Hardly a day passes in Wash
ington that some member of
Congress does not pass along to
Itorth Carolina colleagues a fav
orable reaction to some activity
within the state. As those who
have their eyes on North Caro
lina come from every far-flung
section of the United States, here
is indeed evidence that the peo
ple. throughout the country are
favorably attracted to the state.
It has been said on many oc
casions that a steady flow of vis
itors to the state means new rev
enue for our people without un
dermining our soil, denuding our
forests, depleting our mines or in
terfering with basic means of in
come. It is gratifying to know
that the state is preparing to
launch an aggressive program to
increase the flow of visitors,
many of whom will remain as
residents. Many section of the
state have been developed by the
capital of the people who visited
the state, became attracted by its
possibilities, and have become
North Carolinians in spirit and in
deed.
These observations lead to one
important conclusion. It is that
North Carolinians should find in
the interest of others refreshing
evidence of what their state of
fers. Students should have full
knowledge of the opportunities to
be found. Tours of the state for
and by North Carolinians should
be encouraged. The fisherman
at Nag's Head should know the
woodsmen in the mountains and
vice versa. In this way a great
er degree of state pride and civic
consciousness will be developed
and the high standing of North
Carolina among the states will
draw even more favorable atten
tion, „
