said he believed the Russians had
eoncurred in this policy.
The restricted news media pol
lev was decided by the Allied mill
tary governments, Davis said,
with owl concurring.
He explained that Germany Is

what the doctors prescribe. Later
on, he will have a more ample
Diet
The policy is necessary, DAVIS
asserted, to maintain order now
and to bring the Germans back
to SANITY and order"
The news the Germans get now
will be the beginning of their re-
education, Davis said.
In an earlier interview a re-
porter asked him why Allied o.
ficials were 'afraid of giving en-
try to American newspapers.
II think the Germans would get
too much impression Of divided
policies of Davis reply. "For II
years their papers have expressed
one policy, and they are out OF the
habit of understanding what
free press means"
However members of the arm
les Of occupation still may receive
publications from their own cour-
tries to which they subscribe.
Davis disclosed in his news con-
ference that the first booklet which
OWL will distribute to the Germans
viii describe and picture the hor-
rors of German concentration
ramps.
The booklet will be given test
distribution, said Edward Bar
rett, owl overseas director, to de-
ter.nine whether later it will be
distributed free Of charge or sold
to the Germans.
Davis explained that while radio
programs within Germany will be
under military government con-
troll, and most Of the broadcasts
within reach OF ordinary radio
sets would be from Allied nations
there would be no attempt to pre-
vent Germans from listening to
radio programs of nearby neu-
trails, such as the Swiss.
Davis asserted that the admin
istration of this restBicted news
policy within the U. S.-occupied
zone, which will employ about $50
owl staffers, does not provide for
indefinite continuation of owl.
Although owl plans to ask Con-
gress to appropriate several mil
lion dollars to handle this opera
ton in Germany, Davis reiterated
that the agency will be dissolved
at the conclusion of the war with
Japan and, if necessary, another
group would have to be created
to continue to handle the editorial
control in Germany.

Premium On LOafing

This newspaper is thoroughly in accord
with the view expressed few days ago by
Representative r. L. Doughton in regard
to the payment of unemployment compen-
sation to the defense workers during the
reconversion period.
The distinguished chairman of the ways
and means committee declared that the
payment of $25 per week for 26 weeks
would place premium on loafing.
In the first place, this nation cannot af-
ford to pay out that much money now. At
the present time we owe approximately
three hundred billion dollars, which
amounts to approximately $4,000 for every
man, woman and child in the country.
In the second place, there is serious
danger in giving people that much money
to do nothing 1t might cause some inter-
nal disintergration as WPA did. Many
might get the false idea that the govern
ment owes them living,
Instead of this philosophy, Americans
must be taught to create for themselves a
place in the world and that the only way
to success is through hard work and thrift
After having earned high pay for sew
eral years, these war workers should have
been storing up for the change-over which
they knew would come sooner or later.
In this connection, we also agree that
industry and labor must reach common
understanding that there must be maxi
mum employment in this country and that
wages and salaries must be maintained at
the very highest possible level of pay.
This is the only way by which the huge
debt can be paid back. And this is the only
way that distribution can be maintained.

Boom In Aviation Underway

One of the fastest announcements con-
corning peacetime aviation comes from
Tennessee, where contract was let for
1875 four-place planes for civilian sale.
Other plans call for the construction of
5000 to 5000 new airports and the enlarge
ment of many more. Surveys seem to in
dictate that rural jewellers will account for
nearly sixty per cent of the light personal
planes, while another ten per cent will be
purchased by suburban residents.
Sale of planes is to be financed on terms
similar to prewar auto purchase contracts,

tails do not differ greatly from those in the
automobile business.

School Attendance

The need today for an education is more
acute than at any time in history.
In the world of tomorrow a man or
woman without an education will have
difficult time making a success and the
chances are that sometime during their
lifetime they will become public respon-
sibility.
In this complex mechanical and special
lied age, skill and training are essential. A
person must know how to do job we'll if
he is to get and retain one.
AS result, it is of uttermost Importance
that our school authorities make every eff
fort to enforce the states compulsory school
attendance law between the ages of and
16
This is public responsibility and every
good citizen should cooperate in reporting
children who are not in school.
Parents who have any regard for their
children and their future welfare should
be the ones who are most vitality interested
in seeing that their children obtain an edu-
cation.
With the opportunities for an education
within the reach of everyone, rich and
poor, white and black, there is no excuse
now for children staying out of school.
A good school is located in each COM
munity Bus transportation is available to
all central Schools textbooks are furnished
free and the instruction does not cost any,
thing
Another fine service that has been add
ed in recent years is the school lunchroom
program. Hot lunches are served at a ri
diculously low cost.
Let's see that all children in the coun-
ty of school age are given the opportunity
to learn.

Our Country Roads

Recently, a representative from the
State department of education inspected
some proposed extension lines for school
buses in this county and failed to approve
of them chiefly because of the condition of
the roads. The explanation is, of course,
that during many of the winter months
that it would not be safe for buses loaded
with children to travel over these proposed
extensions. AS a matter of fact some of
them probably become impossible Safety
is the first rule of transportation in con-
nection with the school children and in
deed it should be; but let's improve roads
so that the buses may travel over them in
safety.
We are told on good authority that many
of the children, living in the sections of the
county covered by these proposed extern
sions have to walk two or more miles to
reach a bus before they are transported to
schools. This is too far and it is certainly
too bad that the extensions could not be
approved This should make us stop and
think, and do something about it. Let's
make an effort to have rural, unpaved roads
improved Now that the war is over it is
high time to consider such problems as
these There were postwar appropriations
and plans for such work. Let's put these
plans into effect now.

24HOur War

The Japs say that the two atomic bombs
which we dropped on their nation killed,
injured or made homeless almost 5000
people.
If two such bombs will disrupt the lives
of half million people, it would only take
200 of them to cripple the lives of 5O,OOO,-
OOO-a job that could be done in one days

The same fearful destruction, if waged
against our own cities by an enemy nation,
could mean the wiping out of all our in

ton could stand up under such an attack.

The American Legion

Throughout North Carolina, posts of
the American Legion held victory meetings
recently chiefly to express their thanks
and appreciation to the men who fought
and won this war.
Most of the veterans of World War II
are young and have the greater part of
their lives before them. And while the
members of the American Legion are hon
oring them for the courageous task they
have performed we hope that they in turn
will give thought to the Legion and the
principles for which it stands. In doing
this they should surely want to join this
greatest of all Anlrl lcan organizations :.
"For God and for country"
We can think of no better way to per-
petuate the peace for which they have
fought, than to join together in an organi-
zation so dedicated to our country. The
future belongs to these young veterans.
They must assume responsibility along
with opportunity. They must serve in
peace the country for which they have
fought One of the fine ways in which
they can serve is through the American
Legion. .:l>5# ...
