PLAYING Safe

The latest method the unions have
thought up to call strike without labelling
it as strike, is to have all members play
sick.
By this subterfuge, and by having
union leaders say that they had nothing to
do with it, milk delivery men in New York
and New Jersey thought they had found
smart way of getting around the anti
strike law.
This is just one of dozens of similar
methods which have been tried, including
slow-downs, sit-downs, and various excus
es for absenteeism In practically all cases
union leaders declare the strikes to be
wildcat" affairs over which they have no
control
All are clear demonstrations of the
fact that our anti-strike law is full of loop
holes and is too weak to deal with the lab
or situation satisfactorily. They also de-
monstrate that the "no-strike" pledges of
the parent union aren't worth the paper
they are written on.
There is no doubt in most everybody's
mind by now that the only way to prevent
strikes is to give labor anything it's leaders
demand or to have a law which will deal
out real punishment to all strikers So far
we have been settling strikes by the first
method. It's time we did something about
the second.

Cold Storage Plant

Realizing the need for freezer lockers
now when food distribution and conserva-
ton has become a problem, the govern
ment is now allowing a number of these
plants to be built, under certain circum-
stances.
There are only freezer-locker plants
in North Carolina according to a govern
ment survey. And from the preliminary
information we have gathered, those in
charge of the location of such plants are
anxious to place some more within our
state
This paper is making an investigation
of the possibilities of erecting one in Ashe
at this time and will be happy to report
any findings justifying action in the mat
ter
According to our information, applica-
tions for these proposed new plants must
go in by December, and this would require
some immediate work on the part Of in
terested parties
But if we could secure a cold storage
plant at this time think what it would
mean! Our point worries in many cases
would be over Much of the meat now sent
in here by packing houses could be re-
leased elsewhere. We could have fresh
strawberries and other fresh delicacies
from our gardens, on Christmas.
It is surely worth thinking about, in
vestigating and doing something about too.

Vichy Reoreanizes
Press Censorship
TeIeerophic Privileges Of
Correspondents Curbed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, Feb. ga
reorganization OF the Vichy French
government press censorship has
resulted in the withdrawal Of tele-
graphic privileges from nearly all
correspondents Of neutral countries
y Under the new system there is
ostensibly no censorship at all, but
the privilege Of filing dispatches is
extended by the NaN-controlled
French Information Bureau only to
correspondents approved by IT..
Telegraphic filing of dispatches
has been denied to all Vichy CORE
spondents of Turkish newspapers:
OF three Swedish correspondents,
only one was permitted to file and
he is reported to have refused unless
the same privilege was given his COL
leagues.
No Swiss correspondents are al
lowed to use the telegraph and they
are permitted to use the mails only
under rigid censorship.
With the exception of the repre-
sentatives Of Poster Lloyd. even
correspondents from the Axis sat-
elite, Hungary, are barred from the
wires.
German and Italian correspond
ents. however, continue as in the
past to work without censorship.
Pierre Mason Forester, head of
the foreign press service, and A
liaison ofncer with American troops
in the last war, presented his resig-
nation as result OF the reorganiza-
ton.

were praised by the Rev. Franklin
P. Cole Of the Church in the Gar

Hills. at memorial services attended
by Mr.. Crockett's friends, relatives
and fellow -newspapermer.
Mr.. Cole related how the 3l-year-
old reporter was fatally wounded in
the torpedoing of a British warship
and said:
I'VE all owe far more than we can
express to the war correspondents
who are in the front lines of bat
tie that We may receive the news
swiftly and correctly. Too seldom
In our easy chairs, as We read our
papers about exciting, far-o6 events,
do We stop to think that the cor
respondents left their homes and
native land for a life OF hardship
and peril that we might be informed
about battles which are deciding
the destiny of the world. -
Those reports are also the living
stuff from which history is made
and you may be sure that the his
torians. writing this era, will study
the eyewitness accounts of men
now making history in the front
lines OF duty. -
