Stir EN- Up!

We recently read a note by a
brother editor in which he said he
never expected to convert anyone
by his editorials; that he only hoped
to make them think. That has long
been our conviction. Perhaps, now
and then, we can cause little more
thinking. And sometimes it is more
effective If one is aroused some
what, perhaps just angered a leetle
bit. We believe the sagacious editor
will now and then use that weapon
IN his efforts to get more to think.
Stir EN- up; rub EN- the wrong way.
Arouse EN- and see what their re-
actions are. -

Polio And Schools

The Consolidated Board of Health is expect
this afternoon that the opening OF New Han
over county's schools, originally scheduled for
September 4, be postponed for at least two
weeks because OF the infantile paralysis cpl
demic.
We believe there is but one sound decision
if the disease continues to make Roadway
here longer.
There is sound basis for such action. The
health Of its youth is one of the greatest as
sets Of a community. To date, five cases of
the horrible disease have been reported here
and another incident is in the suspected stage.
Everyone knows it is highly contagious and
the Health board has ordered general restric-
tons on the gathering OF youngsters. If the
schools are opened on schedule, then these
bans may as well be tossed out the window.
During the weekend, the state health officer
issued his second appeal for a delay in the
opening Of North Carolina school units. as
sorting that approximately a million school
children would constitute a menace to pub
lie health with the epidemic still at its height
Yesterday. Governor Broughton called on the
state Board Of Education to adopt uniform
delayed opening date for the public schools.
Any educational losses this or any other
community may suffer through postponed
opening will be practically universal through
out North Carolina as conditions prevail in
dozens of other counties which Jar,,ra ~ ~
schools remain closed until the epidemic
abates. There is no comparison between few
days out of school and a wrecked body. The
lnroads the disease has made here, when
compared with the Piedmont counties, have
been relatively light It is up to the health
and school authorities to do everything p6s-
slble to keep it under control and the delayed
opening of the schools is one of the most
effective steps.

The Army is returning many of the planes
taken from the commercial airlines for war
purposes. They are being converted to civilian
use. This will mean better and more fire.
quent schedules says Mr.. Merritt, and with
a decrease in production of certain war ma

The business man who has been reading a
lot about the advantages of shipping his prod

As an example Of how air shipments can be
used for entirely new purposes, and thereby
create entirely new business, Mr.. Merritt cit

flown in planes which carry mail and express
only.
A study by Wayne university on fruit and
