Youth Problems
Of Modern Day
Broadway Capitol Film
Points TO Factors in
Juvenile Delinquency

Hollywood has neatly packaged
many phases of the nations youth
problem in the new motion pic
ture, where Are Your Children -
now showing at the Broadway
Capitol Theater.
Entertaining in itself the pic
ture deftly points up some of the
contributing factors that have
caused police records Of juvenile
delinquency to skyrocket.
Far better than any words, for
example. Betty Blythe portrays a
common type Of parent. The type
who smugly thinks. when reading
or talking about juvenile delin-
quency. those are some one
else's children, not mine.
INDIFFERENCE OF PARENTS
II is this attitude Of indiffer-
ence or of opposition that has
slowed preventive measures advo-
Gated by public officials and soci-
ologists. Parents who believe their
own children immune from temp
tation and trouble are inclined 10
boggle at costs of a youth pro-
gram.
AS Betty Blythe argues in the
picture. there is no sense in cod
ding these children. Arrest them
and have done with it."
And as she was shocked to find
her own son involved, other par
ents have had the same misfor-
tune in real life

nile delinquency is not a slum

0PA Ignored
In City's Milk
Price SqudbbIe
Fitzgerald Declares His
Office Has Received
No Request TO Act

The OPA officially acknowi-
edged that the question OF in
creased milk prices in Detroit was
e matter that would fall naturally
into its hands, but declared that
il never had been asked to act in
the matter.
w. L. Fitzgerald, Detroit OPA
director, said that Gov. Kelly was
correct when he declared at a
press conference early in the day;
1.-THE OPA controls the price
Of milk from the cow all the
way along the line to the con-
sumner"
NO COMPLAINT MADE
Fitzgerald said the authority OF
the local or regional OPA office
TO act on increased milk prices
depended upon local conditions.
and that il was possible such a
proposal would 60 before the di-
rector of the Office of Economic
Sterilization in Washington.
However, he said, the matter
was not before the OPA at pres
ent and that no complaint had
been made by any of the parties
concerned.
KELLY'S STATEMENT
At his conference, Gov. Kelly
said.
There has been some DIS
cussion between dealers and
farmers as to farmers sharing
the dealers profits. The dealer
says IL Is impossible to pay the
farmer more money. The OPA In
the only agency that has the
power to check the dealers
books and set prices.
81 have been asked whether
could place an embargo on
milk leaving the state. The an
swer il that I have no power
to regulate milk distribution or
its price"
The governor said he considered
the possibility of an increase in
Detroit's government milk quota
as extremely remote"
AS for supply, the governor said
that a survey by Capt. Donald S.
Leonard, state OCD director, dis
closed that hospitals. schools and
other institutional milk users are
getting enough milk to supply
their needs.

Horticulture In n. C..

The Department of Conservation and
Development or North Carolina has re-
Gently issued an attractive booklet devoted
to the advantages and opportunities which
this state offers in horticulture. But what
is more, the publication is filled with defin-
tie facts and figures with illustrations
showing the many possibilities.
We like this type of advertising for
North Cardinal for we believe attention
should be called to the advantages it has to
offer in this field. The booklet divides the
state into sections and graphic map shows
what the various sections are best suited
to- Fruits, berries and a wide variety of
vegetables can be produced for profit in
this state North Carolina is also peculiar
ly adapted to Horticulture, the booklet
points out.
The Department of Horticulture of N
c. State College has made rapid progress
in the development of this phase Of the
States resources and possibilities, And
the department owes much to Dr. M. E.
Gardner for his work in this field.

our independence? Let's all work or fight
to keep America free
Useless Dollars

In July, 1940-before we started doing
anything about getting ready for war
the average American-man, woman and
child-received $47.92 a month in income.
Now, with the war at is height, the av
erage American is earning $85.O3. Thus
the average family income is almost double
what is was before the war;
Although taxes have risen and prices
are higher, there is still enough margin to
make it apparent that Mr.. and Mrs. Amer
lea are profiting from the war from the
purely dollars and cents standpoint.
But even those who are getting fatter
pay envelopes than they ever got before
are rapidly becoming aware of the fact that
dollars don't mean much unless you can
get the things you want with them. This
country has always been noted for it's rev.
erence of the dollar but that reverence is
vanishing rapidly. We are learning that
you can't eat dollars you can't wear dollars
and you can't travel on dollars. There are
plenty of us today who would be glad to
get fewer dollars if we could spend those
as we used to on gasoline, roast beef or silk
stockings.

The Fuse Is Burning

During recent years while the pendu-
lum Of political strategy was swinging in
favor Of benefcent labor laws and increas-
ed regulation of business, vote-seeking
politicians have time and again stepped
across the line in their capacity of law
makers to show open-armed favoritism to
certain groups, principally labor.
Out of the weller came such laws as the
Wagner Act, the National Labor Relations
Act, the Guffey Coal Act, and Others
These laws were drawn to appeal to the
votes of organized labor. Justice and the
national welfare were ignored Labor
racketeering and strikes increased Evil
as these are, especially in wartime, some
thing worse has come of the class-con-
scious legislative thinking that has ruled
Westinghouse frightening admiration for
personal government has sprung up within
the groups which the politicians have pa
tronized If this admiration prevails in
definitely, our republic will perish, for it
was founded on government Of laws, not
of men-and it's laws are to be just if it is
to survive Government seizure of the ma
TONS coal mines is only supperficially at
tributable to the war; Under constant pol
itically-inspired labor strife, it would have
come eventually anyway. At last an i'm
portant segment of the private enterprise
system has been engulfed. AS long as the
coal mines remain under the total control
of government their former owners to-
gether with the mineworkers are operating
under a system of state socialism. If we
want the system to expand and become
permanent substitute for capitalism, we
have only to sit back and continue along
the path we have been following. At its
end there is neither private enterprise nor
labor unions
Congress should move Immediately to
amend or remove every law which deliber-
ately favors labor or any other single
group.

A Wartime Plague

Into the picture of America at war, on
the battlefront, in the factory, and on the
home front, has crept new practice, the
very name of which has been foreign to our
vocabulary.
Blackmarkets are a disgraceful adjunct
to Americas wartime economy. The buy
ing and selling of foodstuffs and other ra-
toned goods for higher than ceiling prices,
and the securing of these products through
illegal means, all are part of this vicious
game. = ri ~~.'-~~~-.'~ '~"-~'
Every stOrekeeper who sells his goods
without demanding ration points, who sells
"speciaP' things which he could not him
self buy through regular channels, is pa
tronizing the blackmarket, and putting the
customer who buys from him in the same
class. ~'~A'a.- ,l.~.. il d"
1t is the duty of every patriotic American
with friends and relatives at the fronts, to
stamp out blackmarkets by refusing to pa
tronize them directly or indirectly. Black
markets are the manifestation of individ-
ual selfishness, and refusal to make neces-
sary sacrifices.
If the armed forces can do without COM
forts, if industry can work night and day.
the rest of us can do with little less now
SO everyone will have more later.

Opportunity For Service

The establishment of two proposed ag-
ricultural departments in high schools of
the county will call for two teachers we'll
trained in this field. There is a scarcity Of
these at this time but with continued eff
fort, we believe that suitable teachers can
be found
To the vocational agriculture teacher
seeking a real opportunity for service,
these new departments in Ashe will offer
an unequalled opportunity. There will be
work to do, but we are sure that the re-
suits that can be achieved will make the
teacher feel we'll rewarded.
=" Ashe represents real opportunity for
farmers and we know that our schools
have some outstanding future farmers who
will make any vocational teacher proud of
his efforts in their behalf.
