O ELDERLY LADIES SHOWN NO RESPECT BY SCOOTER Memphis, July 2.—A 60-year-old youngster, 'Mrs. Mattie Driver, bought a motor scooter, and invited Mrs. Ida L. Frisby, 82, for a ride. But the scooter—with Mrs. Driver at the helm—got out of control. The ladies landed in the hospital, Mrs. Frisby with a possible fracture of the shoulder and Mrs. Driver with a head cut. Piped Mrs. Frisby: “I have no re grets. I was doing something I’ve always wanted to do.” Bragged Mrs. Driver: “This won’t stop me—l intend to ride my scoot er to Chattanooga just as soon as I get up.” 4 O JAPS WANT MACARTHUR TO DO MANY ODD THINGS Tokyo, June 27—Do you want to become emperor of Japan?

Japanese of all degrees apparently have decided that the American com- i prl WORLD’S LARGEST CARGO PLANE ...

Senator Taft, Pepublican of Ohio, said today that President Truman threw up a “smoke screen” to hide his real rea son for rejecting the compromise bill in what Taft called a “personal veto” directed at him. Taft’s assertion came as Capitol Hill buzzed with speculation that Mr. Truman had drawn a political issue, with the Ohio senator as his chief adversary. The fact that the President twen ty one times mentioned by name the Ohio senator —who has been talked as a possible Republican candidate for President in 1948 —lent weight to the belief of some lawmakers that Mr. Truman had hoisted a political flag on what might well be a major issue in the presidential campaign. Taft told a reporter he regarded the message as a sort of “personal veto,” adding: “The objection the President rais ed to my amendment is just a smoke screen ” mander is “Mr. Fixit” for everything. The three problems mentioned above i were among 2,497 letters received it: 1 the past two weeks, a typical period. LINCOLNTON, N. C., THURSDAY.

An unusually large crowd attended the hearing here Monday afternoon. BLOWIGROCK HIGHWAY OPEN Blowing Rock, July 2. Detour signs on the Blowing-Rock Lenoir highway have caused motorists to travel many miles since the road is not actually closed by the construc tion taking place. Os the 23 miles separating Lenoir and Blowing Rock, only about four miles is under construction. Except after a lengthy period of rain this stretch, although consisting of grav el, is suitable for automobiles. The only time the road is not open for travel is when blasting is taking place. At such times men are post ed to stop ears for the short period of time required to complete the ex plosion. Public Urged To Observe Simple Rules To Prevent Further Spread Os Polio The alarming spread of infantile paralysis this Summer in certain areas of the United States, has , caused the National Foundation for . Infantile Paralysis to call upon the public for cooperation in helping safeguard children from the dread disease. Dr. L. A. Crowell, Jr., head of the Lincoln County Chapter of the Foun dation, says that certain simple pre cautions are being stressed and the strict observance of them may mean the difference between prevention or infection. The two most important precautions for children he believes are: 1. “Avoid over-tiring and extreme fatigue from strenuous exercise.” 2. “Avoid sudden chilling such as would come from a plunge into ex tremely cold water on a very hot day.” “Keep flies away from food,” is another one of the important pre cautions urged. Lacking a preventive or cure for the disease, the Ameri can public’s protection against ser ious infection with infantile paraly sis lies in a rigid adherence to the list of simple precautions formulated by the National Foundation, Dr. Crowell asserts. These safeguards are important for they constitute the results of scien tific research made possible by the j financial support of the Nationaal' Foundation in its search for a pro- [ vention and control of the disease. Like the other protective advice in its list of precautions, the admonition to keep flies away from food has a sound scientific background. The fact that flies can carry the virus of infantile paralysis in their \ bodies is not news to the men and women who have devoted their j lives to the fight, against infantile paralysis. On Various occasions the scientific detectives of the medical l world determined the presence of the infecting virus in flies. But how important this fact is in the actual transmission of the disease has never definitely been, settled. Granting that flies can carry the disease, scientists pondered, can they actually be a link in trans School Board Finds Action Necessary to Maintain High Level K. OF P. NOT TO MEET TOMORROW NIGHT —J The Times has been asked to an nounce that there will not be a meet ing of the Knights of Pythias this week, due to the fact that many of the members will be out of town ob serving the Fourth of July. It is also announced that on next Thursday night, July 11, officers for the coming year will be installed and all members of the lodge are asked to be present for the ceremony. M’ARTHUR SAYS HE MUST HAVE FOOD OR MORE TROOPS Washington, July 1 Gen. Douglas MacArthur, commander of United States forces in Japan, has wired: “Send me food or send me soldiers, and if you do not hurry up, you will have to send both.” Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhour, chief of staff, received this message from MacArthur. He told a Senate Ap propriations Subcommittee that ad equate funds for food relief in Japan and Germany are essential to main taining peace and order in United States occupation areas. “The feeding of these countries is 'extremely meager; and the people re sponsible have had to cut and cut un i til they have it down to nothing but a ! starvation diet,” he said in asking a j $50,000,000 appropriation for food shipments. | Eisenhour’s testimony was made | public today.

Many well-known experts zeal ously had studied this problem. ] John Paul and the late James j Trask of Yale University, Albert 1 Sabin of University of Cincinnati and John Toomey of Western Re serve University were some of the famous doctors who had proved that flies could carry the tiny germ-like virus of infantile para lysis. But merely finding that flies can caiTy the agent of the disease is not enough. Proof must be had that the infected flies actually take part in transmitting the disease to people. Each year’s epidemic of infantile paralysis presents many opportuni ties for* scientists in their never ending quest of how infantile para lysis is transmitted. Right now most authorities believe that the infecting virus gets into the body through the mouth and the food passages. If it could be proved that food contaminated by virus-laden flies could produce the disease, then one more link in the chain of transmission would be forged and flies could he definitely incriminated as important carriers of the dreaded disease.

Lincoln County’s Favorite Family Newspaper And Advertising a uOPY: FIVE CENTS Asks Everyone Registered To Vote Favorably On Tues day, July 9th The Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, Pilot Club, Business and Professional Wo man’s Club, Parent-Teacher’s Asso ciation, and many other organizations and individuals ask all Lincolnton voters who are registered to VOTE FOR TAXES in the special school election Tuesday, July 9. The Lincolnton School Board haß found it absolutely necessary to sup plement or increase the pay of their teachers if the operation of the school system is to continue to main tain anywhere near a satisfactory level of education for the children. School teachers have always been, possibly, the worse under paid of all professions, yet the public has always expected so much from them. From the time a child starts in school an influence greater than the home it self, in many instances, ie exerted. Unless that influence is of the high est calibre an unrepairable damage is done to the child. All parents and the public consequently suffer for the problems they carelessly or un wittingly have permitted. School teaching is an honorable profession, costly to enter, in time and money, yet many have made it their chosen field well knowing the sacrifices. But the fact is, that thous ands of would be .teachers are no longer choosing to enter those re spected positions and thousands more are leaving the profession, for one reason only—low pay. Some towns, however, have recog nized the trend and have voted for increased taxes so as to keep their school system intact as much as pos sible. Some of those towns surround ing Lincolnton are: Valdese, Glen Alpine, Morganton, Concord, Kan napolis, Lenoir, Hickory, Newton- Conover, Kings Mountain, Shelby, Lowell, Ranio-Speneer, Lincoln Acad emy, Cramerton, Belmont, Victory, Mt. Holly, N. Belmont, Bessemer, Stanley, Cherryville, Gastonia, Moor esville Statesville, Mecklenburg, Char lotte, Salisbury, Albemarle, Elkin, Mt. Airy, and Monroe. Living costs are up higher today than for many years. Most every per son on a payroll has received one or more wage increases during the last few years.

Johnson. Democrat of Colorado. Johnson instructed clerks of the Senate military committee t 0 obtain an immediate report on the terminal pay bill from the Budget bureau, the White House’s fiscal spokesman. Previously the Budget bureau had informed Congress that the terminal pay plan was “not in accord with the program of the President.” The House ignored this when it passed by an overwhelming 379-to-0 vote the bill to give all wartime en listed personnel the same terminal leave pay granted officers. “Let's get the President’s views on the measure as it now is revised,” said Johnson, acting as chairman of the military committee. The senate revision would elimi nate cash payments for accumulated leave for both men and officers after September 1. It would require that leave, accumulated at the rate of 2 1/2 days a month, be used up during the current year 0 r lost, with a limit of 30 days upon accrued leave. This limitation drew protests from botlf the War and Navy departments ■ at a hearing today. I O M/Sgt. W. L. (Bill) Haynes, of the U. S. Army, reported to Ft. Bragg, > N.
