Six Meals A Day

In spite of the fact that our nation has
assumed the role of being the bread-basket
of the world, we hear more and more Of
over-supplies of food. We hear that eggs
are so plentiful that there is danger of huge
quantities of them going to waste. We hear
that the meat supply will be so huge by fall
that our eating capacity can never keep
pace with it.
Other food items, of course, are scarce
and will be getting more scarce. But, in
general our farmers have shown that, even
without the best equipment and without
sufficient manpower, they are able to pro-
duce more food than we could possibly con-
sumo without the help of millions of for
eign appetites.
After the war, when plenty of machinery
is available again, this means that we will
have choice of three possibilities: (D Our
farmers will have to curtail production, or
(2) We will have to keep large, permanent
markets for food products, or (3) The
American public will have to double it's
eating capacity
Perhaps in our postwar planning we
should include a program for eating six
meals day.

POLITICS weather
So far 1 haven't heard anyone
blame politics for the kind of
weather we have been having
lately, but that is about the only
thing to which some people have
MT attached a political motive.
know, as everyone does, that
in a presidential year like this
one thousand and one things are
done to further political detectives,
but don't think either party goes
quite as far as some of the more
rabid political conversationalists
would have us believe.
don't agree, for example, that
the invasion is planned so that the
Roosevelt star will be in its high
est ascendency on the day we 60
to the polls to cast our ballots.
Even if the President would like
to release a day-before-election
picture of Hitler Surrendering to
him, I don't think this happy event
could be that we'll timed or that
Hitler could be persuaded to en-
ter into the spirit of our election
in such way.
And some other things which
don't belive are - that Chester
Bowles ended meat rationing
purely for vote-getting purposes,
that we will get all the gasoline
we want before election whether
the supply is plentiful or not, that
General Hershey is saving fathers
from the draft in order to sway
them at the polls, or that chocolate
candy and chewing gum will soon
b plentiful in order to influence
the "kiddies.'

Congress Is Human

The Congress of the United States, al
though individuals may try to circumvent
it, is and Till remain the most important
assemblage of men and laws in the world
today, shaping the destiny of democracy.
But momentous as it is, Congress is no
collection of super men or brains set upon
an Olympian peak. It's members are no
better or worse than those of us who elect
them; they have their headaches and heart
aches, even stomach-aches, too. In short,
they are humans.
Realization of this forms the theme of a
pamphlet just issued by the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufactures to its $4,000
members who produce more than 80 per
cent of our goods for war. "Too few bus
inessmen know enough about Congress"
= the pamphlet says, "and too many know
too little about it."
Pointing out that some 5000 bills are
being considered by 100 committees of Con-
gressmen who are as bedeviled by doubts
and stresses as the rest of us, the NAM
pamphlet gives an indication of the terrific
strain under which our solons work. And
it might add that Washington in summer
time could give cards and spades to the hot
and humid tropics themselves!

Dear Mr.. Anderson:
I have been reading with a
great deal of interest the informa-

your paper in regard to soil con-
servation. Your editorial Of May
Is, Save Our Soil, is very timely
and certainly should be before
every farmer in the country, so
it would arouse his interest in soil
conservation.

SECRETS
candidates

SECRETS candidates
On the other hand, 1 cannot help
but feel that there is a lot of
behind closed doors" manipulate
ing being carried on by both par
ties which offers a challenge to
our democratic form of govern
ment. For in this most important
of elections the people are being
given only token opportunity to
eXprSs their choice of candidates.
In the Republican primaries in
many states the people have been
forced to vote for delegate to the
party convention without having
any knowledge as to whom those
delegates intend to support. In
other states, while some candi-
dates have been named, the favor
tie has been missing. The voters
are, in many cases, bling asked to
vote with their eyes shut and to
leave the nomination up to a group
of delegates most of whom mean
nothing to them.
This condition is even worse in
the Democratic party except that
anyone is pretty certain that he is
casting vote for President
Roosevelt.
But in both parties the taken
for-granted candidates, President
Roosevelt and Governor Dewey.
have been unwilling to throw their
hats in the ring. The governor
feels that he shouldn't do so be-
cause he said he wouldn't run
when he was made governor, and
the President probably takes for
granted that everyone knows he
is candidate.
Meanwhile the public is forced
to accept the primary election as
Ia national guessing contest.
FRANKNESS voters
The Republican general staff
may not think it psychologically
expedient for Governor Dewey to
say he will run until he is draft
ed" at the Republican convention.
But personally I think he is apt to
lose the confidence of lot of peo-
pie if he starts up the road to the
White House with a lot of secrets
under his hat. I think most of us
voters, if we are still to be con-
sidered, would appreciate an 'I
will run" or II won't run" spirit
of frankness.
And the same applies to the
President. If he should decide
not to be a candidate to succeed
himself, the Democratic party
would be at a total loss to know
whom to nominate-andn no mat
ter what man they picked the
choice would have to be made
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1944-06-01

without an expression of prefer
ence on the part of the rank and
file members of the party. If the
President does intend to run again
which seems a Likely assumption,
there is no reason in the world
why he shouldn't come out and
say so right now.
At a time when we are fighting
a war to preserve and strengthen
our democratic government ''of
the people" it somehow seems
very dangerous for our presiden-
tial aspirants to give such little
consideration to the wishes of the
people Both men know that the
majority of voters want to have
frank statement on whether or
not they are candidates. That
should be all that is needed to
force them to put their cards on
the table.

The Shape Of Things
To Come

The record-breaking flight of the Lock-
heed Constellation from coast to coast in
less than seven hours is not only historic,
but is portent of things to come. The
performance graphically illustrates that we
will have more closely knit world and
than space. Furthermore, it proves that
the United States must be ready with the
planes and with the filters, for what we can
do, others will do.
According to an analysis published by
The Index, quarterly publication of the
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1944-06-01

New York Trust Co., aviation, 2O-billion-
dollar industry last year and ranking as the
largest in the country, is due for an ad-
ditional so per cent increase lin 1914. lin
1884 passenger transportation for the first
time represented the source OF more than
half the total revenue of the airlines-55.2
per cent, compared with AZ per cent for
mail and 28 per cent for express. Seven
years later, the breakdown showed pas
senger revenues contributing rs per cent,
mail about 81 per cent and express ap-
proximately per cent" Total revenues
of the air transport companies in 1913 were
estimated at 1875 million dollars, of which
Y per cent was passenger traffic, 81 per
cent mail and 7 per cent express
"These figures reveal story of unusual
progress. Aviation faces future in which
millions of individuals in this county and
abroad will have personal knowledge of
what airplanes can do as transport ag-
ency; a vast number will know how to fly
and repair them, and the general public is
convinced that new improvements will
soon provide safer, cheaper, more comfOr
table and more dependable air transporta
ton for peace-time world. Few indus
tries face such an expansive outlook with
such legacy and such an obligation"
The companies responsible for develop
ing the constellation deserve the higest
praise for achieving another milestone on
the roads of the sky.

Making Plans For
Postwar Education

Perhaps nothing is so important in post
war planning as education. Not only must
the youth of many nations of the world be
educated to different ideals and Ideas if
we are to have peace on earth, but there
must be changes and proper adaptions in
our own educational system here in Ameri-
ca.
Not only must we stress how to make a
living, but how to live, how to think as
we'll as what to think. The thought back of
this is to enliven the perception of the
youth so that he will want to become a
thinker as we'll as doer. In doing this, he
will not only have better approach to his
own problems but those of the rest of the
world, and should be better and more use
full citizen
People must be taught that education
must continue long after formal training
they receive in school. Enough of the right
kind of education for all kinds of people is
assurance against want, against war and
many of the other evils that now beset the
world 1t is worldwide problem, but we
must begin with individual communities
counties and states before we can encom-
pass nations.
Many communities have definite plans
for education in the postwar period. We
were interested in reading the other day
that New York State has worked up a
statewide program on postwar education
which covers every phase of the subject
from kindergarten through college. That
part dealing with elementary and second
airy schools essentially is described by the
N. A. Journal as follows>
"A more liberal formula for extension
of state aid to the school districts is recon-
mended in view of the increased costs of
education and the extension of it's service
into the kindergartens, counseling services,
and adult education. The increase in state
aid under consideration would provide an
additional annual distribution of Is to 80
million dollars, the increase to come grad
ually over period of years.
I'm elementary and secondary educa-
ton, the regents recommend steady prog
ress toward complete Capitalization of ru-
raj education The states annual share of
construction in this field is estimated at
about million dollars An extension of
school services to include the kindergarten
year for all children and perhaps the de-
velopment of a single administrative unit
to cover the nursery school, kindergarten,
and primary grades is suggested
STRENGTHENING the facilities and ex-
panding the curriculums for training
teachers are recommended. This program
proposes establishing such a college on
Long Island, where there are no facilities
for educating elementary teachers It is
also proposed to prepare business subjects
at this new college, All teachers are to be
organized so that in addition to their gen
eral program they will have one specially"
