Our Leading Disaster

w. E. Mallalieu, General Manager Of
the National Board of Fire Underwriters,
has called upon all sections Of industry
for better compliance with safety stand
ards, in order to prevent such disasters
as the fires and explosions which RACED
Texas City, killing hundreds Of people,
injuring thousands, and causing an e.
normous property loss.
The American Red Cross has stated
that fires are responsible for more disaster
relief calls than all other causes, incTud-
ing tornado, hurricane, and flood, com
bined. Furthermore, fire is often a con-
tributing factor to loss of life even in
floods and tornados. 1t has become one
Of the greatest killers-even as it is one
of the greatest destroyers of property.
No community and no home is safe

When Service Counts

There are many things we purchase
in which service plays an important part.
Automobiles and electrical appliances are
among these.
Attention has been called to the fact
that farmers of this county and others are
being persuaded by group of electricians
from distant state to have their wiring done
by them. Our experience in this is that
there are usually some adjustments and
minor changes necessary in electrical wiz
ing. Like others we believe that it is much
wiser to have the job done by some one
near enough to render this additional SER
vice. when it is found necessary. This
should certainly be taken into consjdera-
ton. Don't wait until your lights go out
to decide that service really counts.

Freedom And Strength

The basic strength Of this country lies
in its philosophy Of life and government
hot in its natural resources and its in
dustries and its wealth. These last, vital
as they are. are but the consequence Of the
first. They are the natural development
Of system which places maximum free
dom for the individual above all other
considerations.
Other nations have great resources
greater, in some particular, than our own
Russia is case in point. But others nations
have not been able, despite grandiose
''five-year plans" and similar schemes,
to put them to full use for the benefit
of the people, uper-gOvernment which
robs the individual of his freedom, like
wise robs him of his ingenuity and his
ambition. The individual is simply the
tool Of the state. He is denied much and
often most of the fruits of his labors. Re-
suits are gained by mass action, by driv-
ing and terrorizing the people, But the
individual, save for the man in the saddle,
never benefits
This country grew great under the Con-
stitutional idea Of a government of limited
p0Wers-a government which maintained
the Army and Navy, the courts and other
essential services, and acted as an arbiter
in the economic affairs Of the country but
never as a competitor or participant. This
IS the kind, and the only kind, Of govern
mcnt under which the rights and freedoms
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1947-05-29

We believe in wise economy, where
economy is needed; but We do not believe
in economy for economy sake where it
not only works hardship, but prevents
progress and development.
Two government programs, that Of
federal aid for the school lunches and funds
for the agricultural conservation that are
perhaps among the most popular and far
reaching, stand now to be SO badly GRIP
pled under proposed budget cutting bill
that few benefits can be derived from
them.
Last wear more than $500 farmers bene-
fitted more than $100,00OOO from the
program and until this curtailment plan
arose indications are that the program
would have been expanded even more this
wear. The bill before congress would cut
this by approximately 45 percent.
This means that the soil conservation
practices now being carried out would be
severlv cut and that this county along
with others. would not only feel the loss
now, but for years to come. Farmers know
the value Of the program, what it viii
mean to do without the lime and phosphate
and to stop other Improvement practices
that the program makes possible.
Write or wire your congressman and
-enator to make every effort to keep the
rrc-~am going. Let's stop those, who in
thair zeal Ior economy, would cut the
,,roorano to the bone. We do not think
# is ever sound economy to stop soil

members of Congress is now ten in favor
of UNIT to one in opposition. The Ameri-
can people are now speaking.
This late result of concentrated effort
bore out all reliable public polls of the
nation. But congressman were receiving
communications from the pitiful minority
who simply don't want the United States
to have a security system Of any sort. The
reasons of this minority vary from honest
conviction down to downright loyalty and
adherence to foreign ideOlOgies and plans.
1t is certain that the core of opposition to
the American Plan of National Security
Umt) is in the communist element of the
Nation.
The question boils down to the simplest
terms Do the American people need or
desire any sort Of national defense system
against the World of today?
If the answer is yes, then opposition to
the Universal Military Training plan takes
the Knockout punch. For this system a
advocated by the American Legion is non
miliaristic, civilian controlled and aimed
to improve the youth of the nation physi-
cally, mentally and spiritually.
If the answer is against any type of
national defense and security, then the
gates are open to world aggression and the
invitation is extended.

Vacation time is here, but in this period
we should think more than ever about the
needs of our schools and do something
about them. Let's start now in this county;
but let's start right Again we suggest that
an official from the planning unit of State
Board of Education be invited to make
survey of the county and give his pro-
posals on the county's educational needs.
Let's have consolidation, where con-
solicitation is needed and let's make an eff
fort to build buildings where they will
serve the greatest need 1t will take money

There has been a discussion for some
time for a countrywide reValuatiOn. II
this could be done we believe that not only
could the revenue be raised but the tax

this now.
There is no vacation time from the
serious consideration Of the needs Of our
schools.
