Arkansas Oil and Mold Vol. VII Thursday, November 29, 1945 No. 12 LINDSAY WARREN FOR GOVERNOR During recent months, we have been seeing a great deal of speculation in Washington, and North Carolina publica tions anent the probability Of Lindsay Warren being a can didate for Governor of North Carolina in 1948. On a recent trip almost across the state we heard the same speculation, verbally express by several persons whenever the subject of state olitics came up, and in every instance the opinion was freely expressed that he would make a formidable candidate and an excellent Governor. It is now gratifying to see the State getting around to some thing we advocated in these columns six years ago. As far as we recall, this newspaper is the first one to give considerable publicity to the idea of Warren for Governor. As a result of an editorial on the subject at that time, we got many letters of endorsement from prominent citizens of the state. One of the men most prominently mentioned as a candidate at that time said he would not enter the race even if Warren should toe a candidate. Now let us see why Lindsay Warren has it all over any of those who might toe in the field for this high office. To toegin with, he had early legislative experience, and as a member of the State senate from our Second District, made a notalble record for his wise leadership. He served 18 years as our Representative in Congress and became a National figure; a leader who was destined to be Speaker of the House; during the time he resisted appeals to run for Governor as well as U. S. Senator; and finally when pressed several times toy President Roosevelt, he accepted in a critical period, the post of Comptroller General of the United States. , In this high office with 15,000 employes to manage, and the disbursement of all the national expenditures to super vise in wartime, he has made an outstanding record which has been noted widely in the foremost American publica tions. i He is a man with an intense love for his district, and his state, and from bis earliest political days has said the office of Governor is the highest honor that can come to a North Carolinian. Where else in the state is there a man with greater all round experience to qualify a man for Governor? Consider well his legislative experience, his National experience, the fact that h has travelled much, both, inside and outside the United States, and consider further his ability for getting along with people, certainly, we can find no one in the state an3rwhere nearly approaching his qualifications. ; Now let’s take a look at North Carolina’s needs during the ' term of the next Governor. In our mind it is going to be a critical time. We will just be beginning to take up the slack ^ of peactime. We will have entered into great expansion ofl industry, agriculture and commerce. North Carolina will be^ leh center of that great boom of industry which is steadily I working south, and mark you well, the state will be hum-' xning with excitement, all of which will bring countless new prdblems 'to demand a steady hand and a clear head at the helm. Where else could you find a better man for Governor dur ing such times? Lindsay Warren is-a national figure. He would be ornamental as well as able. His voice would com mand respect and action anywhere in the country. And it will be needed during the trying times to come. Times that will surround us with the racial problems stirred up by northern agitators during these war times; problems caused by the rapid encroachment df Government during the past several years of crack-pot bureaucracy that has settled like a foulpestllence upon the American people; and finally prob lems to be expected of the expansion of industry, and the demands of lalbor, all of which will make us sit up and take notice. Certainly we’d better give some thought to who is the best man for ^Governor next time. We don’t need any fledgeling politician, nor impractical dreamer in that high office. We are going to have plenty of headaches, even though pros perity surrounds us. A careful study of the situation reveals Warren far out head of any candidates we can imagine, and it doesn’t require much 'figuring to figure out we would be darn lucky if we could get him to run. Thus world war it lives in sound and PICTURES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS**. A STORY OF VICTORY AND DEFEAT TO STRENGTHEN IN THE HEARTS OF ALL MEN THE DETERMINATION TO BUILD FOR PERMANENT PEACE* May happiness and health Follow us through; May We desert not each Other whatever we do. United we stand, may 'We keep it that way. We give up thanks For this Happy Day. SLADESVILLE N'EWS Credle.

Lhe Group Theatre lasted ten years—from 1931 to 1941— and during that time had a profound influence on the American the atre. Harold Clurman, one of its founders, tells the story in "The Fervent Years.” How the Group Theatre came into be ing, who were the first courageous idealists to launch what proved to be a hit, how, after periods of flops, financial straits, and depressing activity, it spiraled to as glit tering success as any on Broadway—in such well-remembered successes as "Men In White," "Awake and Sing” and "Waiting for Lefty”—that’s one part of the saga. Amazingly varied persons were attracted to the Group and found opportunity un der its auspices—among others Clifford Odets, William Saroyan, John Garfield, Maxwell Anderson, and Sidney Kingsley. Clurman himself was one of its directors from its debut, and his own dreams and aspirations were tied up with it during its hectic existence. When they were rehearsing their first play, Paul Green’s "The House of Connelly,” Franchot Tone, then a young actor of great promise, once became discouraged and remarked, "In the old days we talked only when we didn’t work. Now we work only when we don’t talk.” Director Lee Strasberg' agreed with him at once, "Yes,” he said, "we talk a lot because we are not simply rehearsing a play; we are laying the foundation of a theatre.” HABOLD CLUBMAN COX FAMILY HAS REUNION IN HYDE At Mrs. John Siiverthorne’s Home Thanksgiving Day There wa.“ u farihly reunion of the Cox fF.:r.;ly at Hrs. John Sil- vertro.nes home near Lake Landing Thanksgiving 'Day. Here is the way Bob Jones, who mar ried in the family, wrote it up in poetry: ’Twas Thanksgiving morning and With dawn came the light; There was laughter and Merriment at the old home site. The Cox clan was assembled And they thanked God above That they were alive and Happy, united in love. Brothers and sisters, with Loving embrace, Were thrilled at the sight Of a long missing face. Children were playing, the Air filled with cheer. For the Cox’s were united with Their loved ones so dear. There was singing and dancing Everyone was so gay. There was happiness pervading On this /happy day. There was Erna, Maggie, Angus And Belle; Fannie, Dixie, Walter, and Brid- gett As well. From Milton Berk’s book of gags, "Out of My Trunk”: The much preoccupied professor walked into the bar ber shop and sat in a chair next to a Wo man who was having her hair bobbed. "Haircut, please,” ordered the professor. "Certainly,” said the barber, "but if you really want a haircut, would you mind taking off your hat first?” The customer hurried removed it. "I’m sorry,” he apolo gized as he looked around. "I didn’t know there was a lady present.” A grand crowd of children Filled up with fun, Thrilled at the thought of Being as one. May God in His wisdom, keep Us in safety this year, So we can join once again With our loved ones so dear. William Allen White, whose Emporia Gazette was the most famous small town newspaper in America, and who helped to guide the liter ary tastes of the nation during the 17 years he was on the editorial board of the Book- of-the-Month Club, was a man of humil ity, says his biographer, David Hinshaw, in "A Man From Kansas.” A few years ago, White was standing in line at Columbia f A \ { . \ University to receive an honorary degre’e. II \ I I The man in front of him asked him where ^ I I from. He replied, "I guess I don’t belong here; I’m just a country editor from Kansas.” To this, the other said, "I guess I don’t either; I’m only a country j Apostles of government ownership ! of business agree sometimes that j private management can do better I with little things. When it comes to iiliing prescriptions, mending shoes or making clothespins, they admit, private operators may be more ef ficient. Not so with the big stuff, they argue; coal, iron, oil, railroads are different. These just beg for bu reaucratic bossing. Of course big industries are more interesting to politicians because they employ large numbers of peo ple and affect the daily lives of mil lions more. The fact remains how ever, that government can and does make mistakes in the operation of big industries. Moreover, appropri ate encouragement from govern ment in relatively small, enterprises has been known to result in much good. Signif.cant Decisions Since government enterprises tend ultimately to become monopolistic, mistakes in them can be far more fateful than private blunders. Our government made two important de cisions in 1942 which illustrate the case perfectly. One, to take a spec ulative flyer in Arctic oil, has cost American taxpayers 300 million “good-bye” dollars already. The other decision had to do with penicil lin. I Penicillin is a drug, a mold ex tract that most people know less about than they do about gasoline. Some perfectly astounding cures are being worked with it, including cure of meningitis. It was discovered by an English scientist. Sir Alejxander Fleming, in 1929 but production was tedious, slow and costly and conse quently few sufferers were helped by it for 13 years. In Mass Production By 1942, our first war year, some American capitalists had taken a hand with marked success. The product was costing $20 a bottle then, and the average patient re quired three bottles. Government authorities realized that war would create a need for it so they guaran teed a large market and provided capital for mass production. His tory will record the splendid results. With the government’s bPg pur chase of this successful item, vol ume production started. Now there are 20 factories. The largest cost more than 3% million dollars but penicillin is costing less than $1 a bottle, $3 per treatment. Many lives have been saved and more will be. Mankind will be healthier and hap pier. Government encouragement of this business proved wise and bene ficial. Smell of the Yukon How different was the Canol oil venture. The Army drilled wells on the Mackenzie river, built a 27- million-dollar refinery at White Horse and tied into Fairba.aks, Alas ka, with 1,000 miles of pipeline. Nothing was gained. Gasoline from the white elephant plant at White Horse costs 26c a gallon. OO com panies can ship a better product there from the states for 18c. The venture has been abandoned. The Canol experiment failed. Very apparent obstacles made the opera tion too costly. Known sources of supply are better and 300 million dollars of taxpayers’ money is gone. Government’s support of one bene ficial drug can’t justify its manage ment of big business. What official, spending public money, is cautious and thorough like a private investor with his own money? Never has government management achieved the efficiency of American private management Increased Bag Needs Grow as Supply Drops Continued high production levels expected on American farms in 1945 give new emphasis to the need for conserving textile bags and return ing them to channels of trade promptly and in good condition. Reports from Washington are that requirements for these bags have increased about 20 per cent over last year, while allocations of tex tiles for their manufacture are ap proximately 5 per cent less than in 1944. Need for this type of “contain er” has been made more acute by requirements for bags to carry food for relief feeding through war-dam aged ports and transportation sys tems. Government oificials agree that slight opportunity exists for cutting the use of bags in this country. On such items as flour, livestock and poultry feeds, sugar, seed, potatoes, peanuts, beans, peas and rice no alternate packaging seems possible on a large scale, and in some parts of the country bags are essential to proper handling of wheat, barley, oats and some other commodities.

Box 113 MANTEO, NORTH CAROLINA U«iii Vast Lumber Volume Used by Armed Forces Today the army is spending ap proximately a million dollars a day or some $30,000,000 each month, for lumber. The office of the chief of engineers buys all lumber for the armed forces, including the army, navy, marine corps and maritime commission for . direct military needs. This does not include lumber b»ught by contractors for use by the military forces. For instance, a con tractor who ships tractors or other heavy equipment, requires large quantities of lumber to crate this equipment properly. About half of the total amount of lumber produced is now required for shipping. The' crate for each half track personnel carrier takes over 2,000 board feet of lumber and about 206 board feet of lumber are needed to crate a jeep. Every 10,000-ton cargo ship of the Liberty type leav ing the U. S. ports requires 10 car loads of lumber, approximately 250,- 000 feet, merely to fasten its sup plies in place in the hold. Since 1940 the armed forces have purchased 20,000,000,000 board feet. Neal Thanksgiving with Mrs. Leslie Simmons.
