IUSAN THAYf ft
A "FREE ENTERPRISE"
)' That's a literal dBcription of this
j little book with the red, white and
blue cover called ' How Can I Help 7"
The author write- it out of the
low of their hearts and the disturb
ance of their minds. An artist read
the manuscript and designed the
cover without thought of recompense.
The publisher whittled the cost of
paper to the minimum and his print
ers offered to work on a holiday
without charge in order to get it
out on schedule.
It seems to have met a very defin
ite need and swept the country as
seon as it was out. It is being
,,, bought by all sorts of groups as well
'; as by individuals. The boy scouts
yhave distributed 6,000 copies of
f T"Whalt Can I Do?" and 5,000 more
are ear-marked, for them. Schools
have bought it and factories and
clubs. .
. It talks in a language so simple "a
' 1 child can understand it but so intelfli
genitly t'he wisest persons finds it
food for thought. It tells what you
and I and our neighbors down the
"f street and our cousins in other
.states can do for our country now
.' this winter without leaving home or
i making any great change in our way
.? of living. It tells what to do with
our mind and our body to stabilize
them for any emergency; it discusses
the VArimia tTnrA nptfOTu'vjifinna in tliA
i iommunity and how to organize the
;.' town still further for the good of i
y America. It analyzes propaganda
and fifth-columnism and tells how
'j J to meet them. I t talks of sound la
Sqf bor relations and how to check un
fair abuses of business. It suggests
.', how to work with new comers to this
country who are still having trouble
; '. with our language and it talks of
ways to know our South American
; neighbors much better.
.1- It ends with a two page "Crystal
izing of our creed" which high spots
the activities that all of us can un
dertake and which will help us be
come a part of a "flood tide of na
tional unity." And it & that unity
' that will mean as much to our na-
tionaK security and to our future as
the army or the navy or even a sky
.,; dark with planes.

Under such a system less is nro-

BAD APPLES
You'll probably find a few bad apples m ereiy
bushel.
That's the way it is with beer retailing.
There are several thousand wholesome, law
abiding retail beer establishments in North Car
olina. But there is a handful of undesirable,
anti-social outlets that reflect discredit upon the
entire ber industry.
The Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distribu
tors Committee aims to eliminate every anti
social retailer. During the past 18 months its
"clean up or close up" program, in cooperation
with law-enforcement authorities, has forced out
of business 133 dealers who refused to operate
according to the high standards demanded by
public sentiment and by the legalized brewing
industry.
You can help in this important work by restrict
ing your patronage to reputable beer dealers.
