The Other Side of the Storu

The governments price efforts designed to curb
imitation and profteerng have brought forth news
paper and radio commentators flood of damnation Ed-
toras cartoons and air harangues against control
over prices have boiled down to simple tactic demand
Tor ceiling on They argue that high wages have
forced prices and below that wage control will keep
prices down. Nothing could be further the truth and
knows this better than those hypocrtes of the
and radio who are spreading this lie
The spectacular advance in prices now punginq orr
country into imitation from two sources both of which
can be controlled by the The first course

resulted in shortage of civilian goods the same time
the total number of workers ard the of

and more workers with them are being
forced up The government alleviate this condition by
assisting industries which do compete with arms pro-
ducton to expand their production to the limit.
With respect to the increase in food prices it should be
pointed out that the effect of shortage has not vet even
begun to operate The fact is that less than the
nations food supply is going England and for defense
purchases The food SURPRISES in this country are far above
these figures Moreover the increase prices the

the difference.

than doubled the predefense period Obviously cell
ing on wages would be slick device prevent workers
from receiving share of these exhorbtant profits In add
tion lowering of standard of living will result if the
buying power of labor is decreased while unused capacity
for production is available and idle labor be employed
Plainly it is the duty of government keep prices
down. at least to the extent of preventing proteering
without fixing ceiling wages and salaries.
We have felt discuss these issues because

surprise to a great many people.
The average reader has the firm
conviction that, next to motor We

from an unbiased source to reveal
that firearms, even in the hunt
ing field and in the hands of i'm
properly trained youngsters pink
ing and playing with guns in the
home, are very minor factor in
Americas accident picture.
However, in spite of the fact
that the automobile is II times as
deadly as guns, even though slip
perry bathtubs and rickety step
ladders are 10 times as deadly as
guns, and even though the record
of target shooting is almost I'M
spotted with firearms accidents,
it still remains that 2,400 men,
women and children were acct
dentally killed with firearms in
this country in 1910. Every one

deaths occurring in the same
neighborhood. Each of these
2,400 deaths represented one fam
lily and one neighborhood where,
in the future, mothers will be
afraid of firearms and will warn
others against the dangers" of
owning a gun.
at has been found that slightly
more than half the gun accidents
occurred in homes! Twenty-Five
per cent of all accidental gun
deaths involved youngsters Is
years of age or younger; another
% per cent fall within the 10 to
"a year group. Eight out of ten
gun shot accidents in the hunting
field are caused by shotguns, and
seven Of every 10 gun shot wounds
in the hunting field are self-in-
fiicted."
Experienced shooters know, and
the National Rife Association is
constantly emphasizing, that
proper training Of youngsters in
the safe handling of firearms and
adherance to simple safety rules
On the part Of all persons who
handle guns, can entirely eliminate
accidental gun deaths!
If the tentative plans of the
GOA and the Greenbelt Gun Club
relative to a local training class
go through, the fundamentals of
handling firearms properly will
soon be made available to young
and old in our community. And
if past safety records mean any
thing, the Gun Club is well quail
fled to conduct this course. The
club has been operating the local
target range for the benefit of
residents, visitors and club MEM
bers alike, for two years without
a single accident! Some 10000
shots have been fired from %
calibre rifles and various calibre
handguns on Greenbelt's range
during the period from October,
1889, to October, 1941, at targets
placed on the clubs special racks
built for that purpose, and not
an arm, leg, or ear punctured to
date! This record is due, in no
small degree, to the fact that the
club lists a dozen members quail
fled to function as range officers;
most of them have had Army or
National Guard craftsmanship
training.
