gipe the public background on
the current program OF Building
for Defense"
Machine tools are number one in
our national defense program
Plants and facilities are number
two. Let's take look at them.
It is pretty simple to build
plant. Many engineering firms. with
experienced contractors, can knock
together plant for turning out
anything from ashcans to airplanes
in a comparatively short time. But
that is only the beginning of the
problem. In the first place, since
it takes so much time to build ma
chine tools, they have to be ordered
well in advance. But even so, a
structure is not plant just because
there is a building with some ma
chinery inside.
A plant is about as useful as
handles on a pyramid if there are
no facilities to get the raw materials
to the plant and get the finished
product from the plant to where
it will do somebody some good. So.
although there is plenty of room
to put up plants in this country.
they must be located along lines OF
transportation and, more important
than this, they must be located
some place between the forests,
mines and fields, where the raw
materials originate, and the Army
and Navy supply depots where the
finished products are going.
Otherwise We will have our trans
portation lines tied up in knot
carting half-processed materials
from Springfield, Mass, to Spring.
field, Ohio, to get nut No. 80 screwed
on and then have them go back to
Schenectady to have nut No. ~
applied
Orderly System Needed.
That is why the National Defense
Advisory Commission can't approve
just any old plant located in any
old place. This program has to have
rhyme and reason.
Then, as we have discovered,
there is the item of labor 1t is all
very well to talk about using surplus
labor, but a man who is an expert
on turning horses hoofs into glue
may not be the handiest man in
running final tests on thousand
horsepower alrplane engines. There
fore, in building plants and facili-
ties, arrangements have to be made
for securing the necessary expert
enced man power to run them
Apparently, America has licked
the problem of interchangeability of
machine parts, but we have not
made much progress on the inter-
changeability of skilled workmen.
The National Defense Advisory
Commission is at work on this prob
lem at the present time. AS was
suggested recently, perhaps the man
skilled in dumping hot bread from
bake-oven can also use his skill in
dumping hot castings out of their
rnoldS.
There has been quite bit of dis
cussion as to why not turn over the
automobile factories to inanufac-
turing airplanes. There are a couple
of reason why this would not work
so well.
Automobiles Still Needed.
In the first place. the country
still needs automobiles for private
use, and in the second place, we
are going to need plenty of auto
mobiles and truck units for our
national defense program. And
when it comes to equipment, auto
mobile factories will need the new
machine tools anyway because the
machine tools they have, by and
large, are set up to handle auto

ONE SIDED RACE

AS much as we usually side with news
paper brethren in everything to the exclu-
sion of all else, we must acquaint Brother
Rivers of the Watauga Democrat, over in
Boone, with the fact that if we had vote
in the Congressional race, if you would
call it that, between him and Congressman
Robt. L. Doughton, we'd just have to de-
sert the newspaper ranks and mark our
ticket in favor of the Congressman.
Brother Rivers probably has some pref
ty good reason, sufficient to himself, why
he is making the run. Frankly, we can't
figure it out, although we do say that any,
body has perfect right to run for any
thing he wants to in this country. Brother
Rivers may have as we think, his eye on
future years when Congressman Dough-
ton finally succeeds in following the die
tation of his own conscience and retires.
Brother Rivers may think, and properly
so, that by going out in the byways and
hedges now he may have better chance
for election later on. Certainly, even on his
most optimistic days he can't figure for
himself to be an even fair long-shooter
against the Congressman.
We don't have to go all into the prop
osition, but Congressman Doughton has
served his country too we'll and too hon.
orably for anybody to have an outside
chance of taking over his place now. For
that matter, if there were any such pos
sibillity, nobody could take Congressman
Doughtons place until after serving some
quarter of a century or more in the Con-
gress, and we have our doubts if there's
any such person who could do it then.
Somehow, we're sort of regretful that
Brother Rivers has stuck to his purpose
of running, even if he is doing it for fu-
ture years. We'd like to see that grand
Congressman, Farmer Bob, just sent on
back to Washington as long as he wants
to go there without even the suggestion of
opposition, for whatever purpose.-The
Northwestern Press.

apparently normal conditions that is, they
had not been drinking and had no physical
defects. This means that ninety per cent of
the 331 fatalities were due to negligence
or recklessness on the part of pedestrians
or motorists or both.
"A large proportion of our pedestrian
fatalities arise from failure of drivers and
pedestrians to understand one anothers
habits inclinations and mental processes.
Motorists, drive as though you were walk
ing; pedestrians, walk as though you were
driving. Only in this way can we do much
toward reducing the growing number of
pedestrian fatalities and injuries in North
Carolina"

EDUCATION AND DEMOCRACY

In these days when the very foundation
stone of our nation, which is democracy, is
under attack from many sides, it is more
important than it ever has been that the
young people now going through high
school and on their way to becoming citi-
zens should have clear understanding of
the differences between the conflicting
ideals and principles of government which
are struggling for foothold in sorely
troubled world.
It is not enough" said Dr. J. w. Stude-
baker, U. S. Commissioner of Education,
recently, merely to propaganda demo-
cracy. People must be taught to under
stand democracy by understanding the
other ideologies which are striving to dis
place democracy"
The best possible education for demo-
cracy is one which demonstrates how,
throughout the course of history all 9TH
er forms of government have been tried
and have failed. Only government such
as Lincoln called "of the people, by the
people, for the people" has ever survived
for long.
1t was clearly seen by the founders of
our nation that the system of free institu-
tons and intelligent self-government could
not work if the people did not have suf-
ficient education to think for themselves.
We have succeeded in maintaining de-
mocracy in proportion as we have been
able to maintain the standards of educa-
ton at point where even high school
children are able to discriminate and to re-
cognize democracy as the only form of
government under which human rights
and human liberties can be or ever have
been assured.
That is the essence of Americanism.
That is what makes us different from any
other people in the world. Democracy is
our most precious national possession,
which no foreign propaganda must be per-
mitted to impair.

No Toll Charges
On Bridge During
Month OF April
Interested Citizens at Mouth
of Wilson and Piney CT.
Hope to Get Bridge.

During the month of April
there will be no toll charge for
transporting cars across tn e
New River ferry onto the Pr
ney Creek highway at the Mouth
of Wilson, it was announced here
this week.
A group of leading citizens at
the Mouth of Wilson and in the
Piney Creek section have leased
the ferry from Opal Halsey for
the month of April and during
this time a traffic count of all
cars crossing the river will be
made, it was stated.
For some time there has been a
movement underway to secure a
bridge at this point and it is be-
lieved that the information OBJ
tanned as to traffic volume will
be helpful in getting this bridge
erected.
There is no doubt but what a
bridge is badly needed there, an
interested citizen told The News
this week.

been accepted to attend the

Other applicants which have
not yet completed their typhoid
shots are Claude Allen Howell,
Warrensville; James Eller Rhodes,
West Jefferson.
There are still two more vacan-
cies for Ashe county and will
probably be more, 1t. Barr stated,
as other sections will probably
not fill their quotas. He urged
that other young men file ap-
plications for their training camp
period.
1t. Barr pointed out that trans
portation rules had been changed
and the boys accepted could ira
vel to Fort Bragg any way they
wished, and that upon arrival
they would be reimbursed at the
rate of five cents per mile.
