HOW ABOUT A CANNERY FOR HIGH
POINT3

With canned goods sky high and peo-
pie living from paper bags it would seem
this is an opportune time for starting a
cannery and High Point would make an
ideal location.
Hello Mr.. Groceryman, what's a can
OF those tomatoes worth?
Twenty cents.
What's a can of that corn going at?'
Fifteen and zoe
Well, what's that can of peaches sold
Fifteen and zoe.
Haven't you got anything cheap in
canned goods. What's that can of snap
beans?
Twenty cents.
That is about the general run of
prices for ifoodstC.fs. The man in the
country has it on the town folks, who
live from paper bags and buy in little
driblHts But that is not what we start
ed out to talk about. It is this:
There should be cannery esta blished
In High Point to take care of the sur
plus OF vegetables and fruits during the
summer months when everyone has a
garden and there is little sale for veg
etables.
With the world facing food shortage
and people right here in this community
already feeling the high prices for food
stuffs it viii be great mistake if ar
rangements are not made in advance to
see that all surplus vegeta bles and fruits
are saved from waste this summer.
This is matter that High Point pub.
lie spirited citizens should take up a,
once
Each township in Guilford county could
easily afford to establish cannery and
save from waste hundreds of pounds of
vegetables and other things that usually
90 to waste.
The canning proposition is not the
greatest money making institution but
there should be patriotism enough among
us to want to do orr bit towards CON
serving the food supply.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH OUR
MAKEUP ANYWAY?

Do we really want our public servants
to do what we place them in office to
do? 1t seems not. We expect them to
carry out the law or fulfill their mis-
sion without favor, do we not? But APP
rarently when this is done we "have it
in for this or that man. De we expect
one of the most impOrtan tcity officers
for instance to hunt up every man in
High Point and speak to him every
morning or let one fellow cheat the city
out of $500 worth of taxes and then
make the other fellow toe the mark? A
public servant has something else to do
besides jolly the people. For example:
Here's a man who has saved the city
more than his salary every year by act
ing on the square and making each and
every one do his bit, vet because he is
not jolly, good natured, fippant, care
less go-lucky kind of a fellow who
hasn't ten hours day to set apart for
receptions, some people have it in for
him and proceed to start "ousting'' pro-
ccedings, the tongue wags and pretty
soon there are hundreds of tongues going
at a 30mile minute clip. But when
you ask these fellows what's the
charge they reply not courteous
enough Che should be of course) not
worth his salary and such stuff
(All men are not constituted alike and
while they mean well are not taken that
way) But not not one thing to show
lncompetency, that he hasn't attended
strictly to the affairs Of his Office, steer
ed clear of graft, etc, while others per
haps could have taken the office at S1.OO
a year and made money by it through
the hand medown process.
We are hard to please, funny kind
OF people, anyway, aren't we? Could
any one really please us in public or
private capacity fer more than few
years at longest? We name this or
that man and the next two years we
kick them out regardless of whether or

place him with 40 per cent man, jump
from the frying pan into the fire and
play the mischief in general all on ac-
count of jealousy, avarice, greed, wrath,
etc. These are facts and no sensible
man in High Point is going to deny it
and we Just as we'll say SO here. The

Our advice is that when the city has
men that are conscientiously performing
| their work and are graft proof to keep
them by all means, they are cheap at
any price. even if they are not jolly fell
lows. Why, if a policeman does his
whole duty he would be the most I'M
popular man in the city, yet he is sworn
to do it. Here's one, for instance, who
is an immoral rascal yet he arrests the
tough street walkers at first chance,
though he does not bother his kind 1.-THE

by many because he is ''their friend

ty without fear or favor is censured. Of
course there are exceptions. We are
not at this time making a local affair

have no special ones in view but feel
