Where Will Money
Come From?

People ask: "Where will the
money come from?" to reach
the differentiation dollar OBJ
jective of the Second War
Loan. The answer is simple.
The people HAVE the income.
When we produce munitions
or peacetime goods, or any
thing else, we likewise produce
income. For every dollar of
production, there is dollar of
income.
The problem of war finance
boils down to this-if individu-
ais and businesses receive more
income after taxes than there
are things produced for them
to buy, then excess funds arise.
The government deficit is
matched by the combined sur
plus of everybody else. This
surplus should be put into Gov
eminent securities to wipe out
that deficit.
They give their lives /. +. You
lend your money.

NEED IS SHOWN
FOR RECREATION
State Commission Head
Points Out Necessity OF
Planned Program

The necessity for recreation on
an individual and on a communi-
ty wide basis - especially in war
time North Carolina with scores of
communities flooded with soldiers
on week-ends - was emphasized
by DR.. Harold D. Meyer of Chapel
Hill, executive director and CO.
ordinator of the State Recreation
commission in an address before
some IS persons representing the
city and county governments,
churches, schools and practically
every civic and welfare organiza-
ton here.
Defining recreation as one of
the Five fundamental processes of
the individual and the conmuni-
ty," along with religion, health,
education and work, DR.. Meyer
told his audience that recreation
SIS finding a place in the war eff
fort"
"As airplanes, tanks, guns, and
shells will win the war, so will
recreation" the University of
North Carolina professor declared.
1T has a place - a very distinc-
tive place - in the war effort"
Four problems, he said, prompt
ed the formation of the State Rec
reation commission - loafing (es-
pecially in the cases of soldiers
who find nothing to do in small
Carolina towns); excessive" Ii
quor drinking; prostitution; and
gambling.
All, he indicated, were inmedi-
ate because all largely involved
the states wartime population but,
he declared, recreation is more
important tomorrow than it is to-
night - as important as it is to-
night"
He then cited the fact that all
postwar plans conceived to date
include recreation as an integral
factor.
The state commission. DR.. Mey-
er said, is now working ON five
projects, codifying state and local
recreation laws, the trailer prob
lem" attempting to secure a more
thorough utilization of school build
ings as community recreationa1
