FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1941 BIBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK THE TRUTH MAKES US FREE I tell you the truth. John 8:45. Perquimans First Congratulations are in order for Perquimans on being the first coun ty in the 'State to report its quota to the USO. The fact that this county, through its local committee chairman, Emmett Winslow, was the first to report to State Headquarters that it had raised the funds requested to provide additional relaxation for men who have been inducted into mililtary services, shows that our local people are vitally interested in the boys who are and who will be the mainspring in our National Defense. It Seems Silly What with all the rumors and pro paganda going on today, we are at a loss to understand the news item this week regarding a possible oil shortage in this Country . . . proba bly by July First. To our way of thinking, Harold E. Ickes, now defense petroleum coordi nator, is to a certain extent an out and out alarmist, but not only he hints at this possible shortage, but members of the oil industry, itself, proclaim it. However, the part that strikes us as being outright silly was reported in Wednesday's News and Observer. Two news stories, side by side, tell of the possible shortage and, also, that, the Allies, including America, continues to sell OIL to the Japan ese, who are evidently in cohoots with the Axi forces ... our avowed opponents. Certainly, if there is a possibility that this Country faces an oil short age, it seems to us that now is the time to stop selling oil to forces or countries that may at some future date be our forceful opponents. Why not cut off the oil leakage where it will be of greater aid to this country, instead of cutting it off on the home front. If this nation needs more oil and gasoline than it is now producing to further our national defense, The Weekly heartily favors the rationing of these items, but let's start the ra tioning with those peoples who are the least interested in the protection of our way of living. Gotta Dime? A week ago last Tuesday, Presi dent Roosevelt, in his "fire-side chat" told this country of the pre dicament which it now faces as a re sult of conditions in Europe. Almost a year ago the Government began our Defense Program in antici pation of what we now face. That Defense Program is costing money . . . tons of it, and in order to continue that Defense Program our Government on May 1 started the sale of Defense Saving (Stamps and Bonds as the best method of pro curing it, and as the best means to enable the most people in the United States to participate in our Defense Program. The sale of the stamps and bonds, thus far, has been gratifying, but more and more people should begin the purchase of these stamps and bonds remember, that Program is taking "tons of money" every iday) as a matter of investment as well as a means" of helping "Uncle Sam." One doesn't need a huge amount to begin. the purchasing of, Defense bonds , . all you gotta have is xme thin ' dime. You can boy a Saving Stamp, with that ten cents and be on the road to the purchase ox a bond at a laW date. No doubt all of us have had the idea in mind to start buying stamps or bonds ... let's not put it off. Let's get started today. Wine Control With the formation of the North Carolina Association for Wine Con trol, cne State can now look zor a "clean-up, campaign within the wine industry in this State similar to that which has been carried on for several years by the Beer Industry within North47aaUna. While Perquimans County is not directly affected by the formation of the county is dry and has no outlets for either libuor or wines, -It ; hi In directly affected and should welcome such an effort to control the sale of this beverage. '..iU-.tfj ' As long ai beer&quor and wines are toi'be sold witiin tour State, all of them should be undor strict control and those places where such bever ages are sold should be rigidly in spected and ruled as to the sales they make. The Weekly believes that this new Association will make a thorough job of seeing that the sale of wines will now be on a strictly legal pro ceedure and that fewer complaints can be made against the industry it self. Defense Strikes Are "Outw Along the shores of San Francisco Bay eleven shipyards are largely idle because of a strike of C I. 0. and A. F. of L. machinests. This strike ia holding back the bridge of ships on which aid to Britain, and conse quently American safety, vitally de pends. It is a strike in defiance of national officers of the American Federation of Labor and of a master agreement between the shipyards and organized labor. These strikers, or many of them, doubtless feel that they have legiti mate grievances. But such griev ances are trivial in comparison with the freedoms that are at stake in the war or with the effort other workers are making to preserve those freedoms. At first the crux of the issue ap peared to lie in demands for $1.15 instead of $1.12 an hour and for dou ble time instead of time-and-a-half for overtime. Then there was talk of paid vacations as at the Navy yards; 38,000 employees of Curtiss Wright Corporation have given up their vacations in order to speed air plane and engine production. Now the machinists' union president at tacks the refusal of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation to sign the master agreement, including a closed shop clause. If this is the issue, why are the other ten yards struck? All the yards were said to be observing the terms of the agreement. The strikers in this and a few other defense walkouts are virtually striking against themselves. They are being "unfair to organized labor" in that they are misrepresenting the loyalty and the willingness of the great body of their fellow workers. That loyalty and willingness was bet ter expressed in the resolution of the executive council of the A. F. of L. Sunday urging redoubled aid to Bri tain and pledging "whatever sacri fices the workers of America may be called upon to undertake for the de fense of American democracy." The attitude of labor also is indi cated by a Fortune magazine survey just released which found that more than 56 per cent of the factory workers polled believed the Govern ment should forbid strikes .over wares or the cloHed Rhnn in defense industries and more tftan 68 per cent! favored a Government agency with power to force settlements between employers and labor. Under the circumstances, the strike in the shipyards of San Fran cisco Bay and every other unjustified strike in defense industries adds sup port to the Vinson Bill in Congress which has just been narrowed down to the relatively mild proposal of a compulsory 25-d.ay waiting period in disputes in defense industries.
