They Have Done No Wrong

The Star is in receipt of a letter
from the Fellowship Bible Club, a group
within the Y. M. C. A., complaining
of a deplorable condition at the county
Jail. Because it concerns a part OF the
population which can do nothing for
itself, and which has not been adequate
ly provided for by the state, whose
charge it is, the communication Is given
prominence in these columns.
The complaint is against combining
mental patients in cells with proven
and often hardened criminals" These
PATIENTS" the letter says, "have to be
incarcerated for reasons which have no
connection with wr~ong-doing; and it is
a source of deep humiliation to be thrust
among persons awaiting trial for crimes
committed or serving sentences for
punishment thereof"
The club concludes it's letter: "Cor-
rection of the situation =. would be
in keeping with our laws and justice"
The failure of North Carolina to
make proper provision for the care of
insane persons-not the criminally in
but those whose minds have be-
come subnormal-is well known. 1t is
none the less permissible to note that
it constitutes a blot on the fair nam
of the state.
So far as the county Jail is concern
ed it may be said that separate cells
are not always available for persons
of this class who, for their W as well
as the community's sake, must be placed
under restraint and held until a vacancy
occurs in any of the states hospitals
for them.
At the same time, there would seem
to be no reasonable excuse for failure
on the county's part to make provision
for this temporary care outside the jail.
AS the County Commission is consider
ing its new budget, the present is the
proper time for this provision to be
made.
So far as the state of North Caro-
lima is concerned, it's delinquency in
establishing hospitals for the insane, or
materially improving and expanding
those now in existence, should be among
the major projects before the forthcom-
ing legislative session.

"Fair And Reasonable

Wilmington business organizations
and individuals with some exceptions
have shown a splendid spirit since the
OPA sank into a coma on Sunday night.
Their expressions of determination to
maintain ceiling prices in general and
increase costs to consumers only as
their prices from manufacturers ad-
vance are c~ommendable. They are in
sharp contrast with the news from other
sections that prices jumped from 10 to
200 per cent following expiration of the
OPA law.
If they continue to "hold the line"
as the vast majority have indicated
they will, the wildfire initiation fore
cast by President Truman and other
executives in Washington will di e

dustries do not seek to make up actual

There is little wonder that a
feeling Of unrest has come over
us all since VI Day.
Up to that day we were all pretty
much together, unified to throw
off the tormenting clinging Of the
Japs. Everybody had put all their
heaves together to beat down the
Nazified DULLES Of Germany and
then everybody turned to make
short shrift of the despicable little
Japs.
Even in war America was a
happy nation because America
seems to be at its best, and hap
piest, when it is doubling its fists
and saying "You can't do that to
u.s."
Sociologists and philosophers can
explain it all to you, very simply.
The feeling goes right on down
to the family. There can be family
fuses when the family becomes
chaotic, divided against itself. But
let some outsider intrude and the
family becomes happy all over
again, ready at the drop of an an
cestoc to show the latent strength
in a common blood.
But after VI Day we started
fighting among ourselves and we
lost that natural strength of a
family bound strongly together by
common ties. There we're strikes
