One Polio Case
Diagnosed in
Big Horn County

Theresa F. White Hip of Wy
ola is in the Sheridan County
Memorial hospital being treated
for poliomyelitis, r. P. Ross,
secretary of the Big Horn
County chapter of the National
Foundation for Infantile Par
alysis, said this week.
Mr.. Ross said the local chap
ter is making arrangements
with the Sheridan county chap
ter for her care.
He also called attention to
the suggestions issued by the
National Foundtion for recog-
nizing and avoiding polo. A
recently issued leafet of the
Foundation says in part:
IF infantile paralysis breaks
out in your community, follow
these suggestions:

through the country as harvest
progresses, N. A. Jacobsen, the
county extension agent said,
but they cannot be placed

operators are also making in
quiries at the county agents
offices along their routes, since
the Extension Service farm la
Dor program has again been
designated to direct this activ-
ity.
Jacobsen pointed out that
farmers wanting to engage
custom combines should leave
information on the number of
acres available for harvest
when they file their orders, as
the custom cutters need to
know how long the job will
last.
The Extension service takes
no responsibility beyond getting
the farmers and prospective
workers or harvest operators
together to work out their own
details, Jacobsen said. w. J.

charge of this activity and may

We bow our heads in shame

the ones like Murt that have

Honest, all you people whose

as well as Tuesday and Sat-

We think the cooperation SO
far has really been wonderful
on this watering proposition,
but a little rain would help.
Perhaps we won't have to
have water rationing in Hardin
next summer. It's pretty much
up to all of you. Anyone whose
name appears on the tax rolls
and who is a registered voter
in any of Hardin'S three wards
may vote in the special cleo

Everyone should vote, for to
pass the measure, 40 per cent
of the qualified voters must
cast a ballot. None of us can
question how badly we need
the addition to the water plant
for which the bonds are being

that Hardin is growing, and
with that growth, its needs
for city water are increasing.

On End Of Sugar
R%utioning. Says

Frederic A.. Adams, acting
director, Denver Field office,
Sugar Rationing administration,
U. s. Department of Agricult-
ure, said recently that numer-
GUS inquiries received at the
Denver office indicate that
many restaurants, lunch rooms,
soda fountains, etc., apparently
do not understand that sugar
rationing for institutional US
erS was terminated at 1901 a.
m. on June IL
Institutional users in addi-
ton to the above include sand
wich shops, hotels, public in
situations and any other estab-
ltshment in which sugar is used
in the preparation of food
which is served to consumers
on the premises. Establishments
of this kind have been able
since June IL to purchase SUI
gar without surrendering any
ration evidence. They are no
longer required to submit re-
ports of any kind to the Sugar
Rationing administration since
sugar rationing as far as they
are concerned no longer exists
although it is still in effect for
industrial users such as bak-
cries, ice cream plants, candy
manufacturers, bottling works
and other concerns of that
type.
Inventory controls are still
in effect on wholesalers and
retailers. These concerns may
purchase sugar up to 1909 of
their allowable inventory with
out surrendering ration evil
dence but must at no time have
sugar on hand in excess of
that limitation.

In a recent statement, Con-
gresham Wesley A. DEwart
said he believes the adoption
of an MVA program would de-
lay for several years work al
ready under way on the devel-
opment of Missouri river basin
soil and water resources.
D'EWart said advocates of an
MVA were deliberately sabot-
aging" the Pick-Sloan plan for
river development and charged
that they were interested not
as much in the development
of our resources as they are in
changing our system Of gov
ernment."
"The Pick-Sloan plan is q
reality" D'Ewart said. 1T has
been approved and authorized
by congress and the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Congress has
appropriated millions of dollars

Heinz Points The Way

Former President Herbert Hoover,
through the Society of Friends, has
issued a statement declaring that pri-
vate help is needed to tide millions of
starving Europeans over the lean sea-
sons until they can provide their own
food.
Mr.. Hoover's use of the above or
ganization as the agency for his an
nouncement and tacit appeal is pecul-
iarly appropriate al he comes from the
Quaker stock that throughout the
war provided relief for var sufferers
as the American Friends Service Com
|mittee.
Furthermore, Mr.. Hoover's knowl-
edge of the European food situation is
indisputable, as he recently made a
second survey of conditions on the con-
tinent at President Truman's request.
That his plea has not fallen on deal
ears is made manifest by a special ad-
vertising campaign to be conducted
next week by H. J.. Heinz Company
with the beneficent purpose OF stimu-
lating gifts of baby foods.
To give momentum to it's. campaign
the Heinz Company is giving n mil
lion packages of baby foods, to be dis
tributed by the Friends, and allotted
to the neediest of Europe's children
without regard to nationality, race or
religion. It is to be emphasized that
this is an outright gift, with no strings
attached - a gesture Of true charity
that cannot be too highly commended.
In addition, the Heinz advertise
ments next week will announce that
for every package of Heinz baby food
purchased by American mothers the
company will give another package to
feed another hungry child in Europe.
This proposal holds good until April
Z through April IL. If American moth
ers, for example, buy a million pack
ages for their own offsprings, Heinz
will add another million to the COM
pany gift.
Considering the cost to Heinz it
would be unfair to ascribe this to a
strictly business motive. We prefer to
see it as application of Christ's ad-
monitor: "Inasmuch as we have done
it unto one of the least of these -.
We have done it unto Me-"

Greek King Dead

What effect King Georges death
will have on Greece's troubled internal
situation is not easily foreseen. In larg-
est measure, we may believe, the fu-
ture Of Greece will depend on whether
his successor, Prince Paul, is strong
enough to set up a stable government
and control the factions. chiefly the
communists, which are keeping the
country disturbed.
King George lacked the qualities OF
strong leadership. 1t is doubtful if Sc
cure peace could ever have been estab-
lished under his banner, whatever aid
the democracies might have given
him.
Now, it becomes doubly important
that Great Britain and the United
States come to the rescue of Greece.
1t can only be hoped that Prince Paul,
the dead Georges brother, can imple-
|ment their assistance.

Symphony Campaign

Some months ago the Wilmington
committee of the North Carolina Sym
phony Society decided to hold a spec
ial membership campaign a sort OF
special gifts" drive such as the Red
Cross and Community Chest conduct
- and wait until spring for the gen
eral solicitation.
The early canvass was Quite sue
cessful, but failed to reach the goal set
as a guarantee for the orchestra's ap-
pearance.
Notwithstanding this, the feeling is
that there will be more than sufficient
members to bring the orchestra to Will
mington, with result that a date has
been set for two concerts - April II,
with a special matinee for school chill
dren.
Now the campaign is on in earnest,
It is hoped that it may be concluded
this week. Surely the program should
be sufficient guarantee of that. Or il
that is not enough, patrons of last
years evening concert should turn the
trick.
DR.. Benjamin Swain has gathered
and trained a group of musicians who
have to give ground to no symphony
of similar size in the country. Music
lovers in all southeastern North Car

to invest a small amount of money in
gratifying that love than in subscrib-
ing now for seats.

Who Are The Public

In q thoughtful article in the At
lantic Monthly, Richard E. Danielson
writes on "The Right to Strike" In
his conclusion, he states that one prin-
ciple which must govern the exercise
Of all human rights is that the public
good is always controlling. He then
says: Except as you subscribe to and
support this doctrine you are not
entitled to the exercise Of any right of
any character whatsoever. The public
Is not an abstraction. It is everyone,
the mass of US trying somehow to
build things better in a sorry world. 1t
includes the housewife and the clerk,
it includes the farmer and the young
mother, it includes John Lewis and the
miners Of coal, it includes doctor, mer-
chant, lawyer, chief, the student, and
the soldier. The rights of each must
yield to the public good. And the public
Is you"
Here is the yardstick by which the
practices of labor, and proposed legis-
lation dealing with labor questions.
must alike be measured. Does the clos
ed shop, which denies a living to a
man unwilling to pay tribute to a
union, serve the public good? Does
industry-wide bargaining, which gives
one or a few labor leaders the monop-
olistic power to completely prevent
the production Of vital goods and SER
vices without notice serve the public
good? Does the law which prevents
employers, under threat Of severe pen
alties, from honestly presenting to en-
ployes their views. on controversial
labor matters serve the public good !?
Does that vicious monopoly, the clos
ed union, serve the public good?
The answer the American people
make to these and kindred questions
will find their reflection in the law

RECOMMENDATION of the medical profess
sion would inevitably result in at least
two developments which would be ex-
tremely unfavorable both to the doc
tor and the patient.
First, the practice Of medicine
would be dominated by lay people, such
as social-service workers with great
enthusiasm for reform" but little
medical knowledge. Bureaucrats of
this character would largely control

difficult to forecast what that would
do to medical standards.
Second, if the government is to
be arbiter in all matters Of public
health, it would certainly establish free
di~spensaries - which has been done
in all countries where medicine has
been partially or wholly socialized. The
doctor would be forced to treat a GER
tain number Of patients, whether he
could give each one adequate time or
not. In Germany, prior to the war, I'M
der government medicine doctors were
expected to handle 60 to 100 patients
daily. What that meant was that treat
ment had to be standardized, and in
dividual attention became virtually i'm
possible. Do Americans want assem-
bly-line medicine?
There are many other dangers -
physical, economic, social - which are
part and parcel of any kind of bureau
cratic control of medicine. Once we
make the doctor the servant of the
state, we place a barrier in the way
of progress. We raise the political ap-
pointee to power. Then the standards
of medical practice can move in only
one direction - down. "

A PLANTS STRUGGLE FOR
LIFE.
~ Competition in Crowded
Areas

In the early summer, we see
men busy thinning cotton plants
with a hoe, destroying several
and leaving others. Or we see
gardeners thinning out young car
rots. There are too many young
plants; they crowd one another
and dwarf one another. If the
farmer Or gardener is to get prof
liable tull-grown plants, he must
thin them out.
Similarly, in wild nature there
is natural thinning. The young
plants that get a good start elbow
out their neighbors. There is
ceaseless sitting.
But while the sitting is often
effected in early life by a great
'infantile mortality" of seedlings,
there are sheltered and luxurious
places where many plants get
past the juvenile stages. There is
extraordinary crowding and,
therefore, great competition for
foothold, for Eight and for air.
Such places are sheltered - self
sown woods, tropical jungles,
thickset hedgeroWs, and rich
meadows.

For Crippled Children

1t is just a little piece Of paper with
little or no intrinsic value. But on the
face is the picture of a child stepping
out boldly toward a star. 1t is this
that gives it value far greater than
any dollar alone could destow upon it.
For the child, if you get the signifi-
canoe of the design, is whole in body
and free of movement. He has no
physical handicap to make his years
a burden to himself or any n else.
In the course of nature he will grow
into manhood ready for the responsible
tiles that maturity involve.
You are asked to make a contribu-
ton to the North Carolina League for
Crippled Children by buying a couple
of sheets of these little perforated
stamps, and the time for the Leagues
campaign could not be better selected.
It is an Easter-time campaign -
Easter, the period of resurrection in
nature and the time that gives
Christian civilization it's assurance of
eternal life.
Your gift alone may not put some
crippled child on his feet, but it GER
tainly will bring him nearer that great
goal. The Leagues program provides
medical and educational services
to the children who cannot play nor
mally, as your own do. But the pro-
gram, like so many splendid undertake
ings, is lacking in funds to give these
services to all youngsters who need
them.
The campaign here is sponsored by
the Junior Sorosis Club. Contributions
may be sent to C. G. Berry, treasurer,
whose address is 1902 Perry avenue.
Or they may be sent direct to the
League headquarters, 1873 IL East
Franklin street, Chapel Hill.
The address is not as important as
that the gift be made.

THE AMBOY DUKES, by
Shulman doubleday;
60 snA

pNsOVJs
As hard as nails, and in some
respects no more palatable, this
novel is about young mugs who
haunt Brownsville poolrooms,
bars and dives, carry homemade
guns in their zoot suit pockets,
pick fights, pick up 'hooers," and
generally act infinitely worse than
little savages.
Frank and Benny are the
heroes or villains, and the girls
are Betty, Ann, Fanny, Rosie,
Maybelle. Franks parents work
all day, since it is wartime, and
Frank skips school to hang around
with the Dukes when he can get
rid of his kid sister. His gang has
its own clubroom where enter
teinment ranges up and down
from brawling and scrapping, but
mostly down. The two young
devils, angered at their teacher,
kill him and their growing sus-
picion and fear of each other form
the body of the story, brought to
a climax by Crazy's rivalry with
Frank.
No one will quarrel, I think,
with the sociological background,
for where you have a slum, you
have a sort of slumgullion spew-
ed over it. But Shulman piles ii
on too thick; this Is like a script
for a movie, written as a shocker
without regard for literary merit,
and it is the authors great mis-.
fortune that Howard Fast's 'The
Children" furnishes such a fresh
contrast.
Shulman has a misplaced hiss,
