Blast Proposal for
Higher Teacher Pay

My folks came originally from
New England. We followed the va
rious migrations west in jerks. But
my New England ancestry is the
only reason I've always been proud
of American schools. As school boy
had tough time because wasn't
tough enough. There we're a lot #
fights that had to be negotiated. But
l came out with the idea that I'd
take the public schools of America
because they taught democracy
whatever else they didn't teach.
Later. ! studied abroad and didn't
change my mind.
Then I joined the army and dis

five francs for writing letters for
them). that parts Of America
hadn't grown up in we're as litter
ate as parts of Europe which I'd
held my nose going through, and
that some of Europe was more
literate than the United States, al
though at our worst we had better
school for the poor man, proper
tionately, than Great Britain.
Years passed and finally l began

people complimented my stand for
higher remuneration for education.
(Of course we couldn't expect to
pay as much as we pay for liquor
to redden our noses or the women
pay for cosmetics to redden their
lips).
But what shocked my New Eng
land soul was some Of the letters on
the other side:

varied experience:

the world are the mothers and

Urging Family Budgets

THE INSTITUTE of Life Insur-
ance recently inaugurated a
series of advertisements to pro-
claim the central theme that fam
lily budgets and family happiness
go hand in hand.
The advertising campaign was
intended as a public service and to
help families meet the cost factors
Of the present day. 1t recognized
that financial problems often cause
trouble and urged family financial
planning whatever the income of
the family might be.
We call attention to the adver-
Using campaign because the idea
has merit and it behooves families
in this county to carefully consider
their financial status in connection
With the family existence. Some
e has said that happiness comes
'tooany family which spends less
than one hundred per cent of it's
income and unhappiness is apt to
dog any family which spends more
than one hundred per cent of it's
income. The amount of the income
makes no difference. The rule is
the same.

Cost Of Living Climbs

THE ECONOMISTS seem to be-
lieve that there will be some
thing of a slump in prices during
the present year, basing their be-
lief on the fact that the commod-
ity market alone seems to be on a
price spree.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
shows that there has been con-
siderable increase in living cost be-
tween 1889 and January, 1947.
1t should be noted that the items
which go into the ordinary ex-
penses of living show big jumps.
Clothing has advanced from 1OO.3
to 1888, fuel from 96.3 to ZAP,
house furnishings from 1905 to
1855 and food from 96.5 to 1888.

Ether's Anniversary
WHILE NOT generally recog

WHILE NOT generally recog-
nized by the people of this
county, March Both is the anniver-
sary of the first use of ether as
an anesthetic, which occurred one
hundred five years ago in Jeffer-
son, Georgia.
DR.. Crawford w. Long, living in
small village away from any
railroad, learned that druggist
clerks inhaled ether for their
amusement. Experimenting, he
discovered that it not only made
him unconscious, but insensible to
pain. On March Both, 1912, he ,ad-
ministered it to James M. Venable,
a patient suffering from tumor
in his neck. The tumor was sue
cessfully removed and the patient
felt no pain, whatever.
While DR.. Long used ether fire.
quently in subsequent operations,
he lived SO far from the centers
of population that the report of
what he was doing did not become
known until 1849. Then there was
a dispute as to the authenticity of
his use of ether.
The use of ether to prevent pain
on the part of patients has done
much to promote surgery through
out the world. 1t has eliminated
most of the pain that, prior to it's
use, accompanied operations.
Moreover, it has probably made
possible the success of delicate
operations which would hardly
prove successful if the patient had
to writhe in agony.
1t is somewhat remarkable that
many devout individuals did no.
approve the use of ether as an
esthetic. These good people
argued that it was the will of God
for people to suffer and that il
was wrong for human beings to
interfere with the workings of
the divine will. The idea seems
somewhat silly today when most
intelligent people have concluded
that men of science, in their dis
covery of truth, are performing
the will of God for the benefit of
mankind.

New Canal Needed?
THE UNITED STATES

The UNITED STATES Govern
ament is studying plans for a
new Atlantic-Pacific Canal or i'm
provements on the present Panama
Canal route.
Two plans are under study, one
being the construction of third
set of locks and the other being
the project to lower the present
canal to sea-level. A third sugges-
ton involves the digging of new
sea-level canal in another part of
the isthmus, with consideration of
a route through Nicaragua.
The cheapest and easiest plan
would probably be that of COM
pleting q third set of locks. Con-
struction on this project began in
February, 1941, but was discon-
tinued by agreement between the
War and Navy Departments in
1912. To lower the present canal
to sea-level would require, it is es-
timated, thirty years or more and
/. It over $1,OOO,OOO,0O0. What it
s%ould cost to construct a new ca
nal, in Nicaragua, where it
would constitute a defense against
destruction of a single canal, is
uncertain.

Aid The Fight On Cancer

THE PEOPLE of this county
should be interested in the
drive to raise funds for the effort
to treat the victims Of cancer and
for the support of scientific re-
search designed to discover every
thing possible about this dread
disease. n
Second only to disease of the
hsart, cancer and other malignant
nnors account for more deaths in
the United States than any other
disease. In 1914, for example, Ill.,
I'll Americans died from this
cause. 1t should be noted also in
this connection that the death
rate, per 100000 of population,
from cancer has steadily increased
from 1900 when it was Ga to 1914
when it was 1891 per 100000 of
population.
Obviously, there is need for a
well-financed campaign against
cancer. The fact that many cases
can be cured, if discovered prompt
ly and properly treated, adds en-
phasis to the plea for popular sup
port Of the current campaign. We
hope that the readers of this news
paper will generously support the
battle against cancer.

American Cities Obsolete

Il 49, - ' lava IL <AAAASAANohH ivy
is as obsolete as 1910 auto
mobile" declares Luther Gulick,
president of the Institute of Pub
lie Administration, who calls at
tention to the fact that the auto
mobile, bus and truck have done
more to make the physical plan of
the American city inadequate and
outmoded than anything else in a
thousand years.
There can be little doubt of the
correctness of the conclusion of
this authority on public admins
tration. Undoubtedly, the pattern
Of city streets and inter-city high
ways was not constructed for mo-
tor vehicle transportation and the
layout of American cities occurred
long before anybody imagined the
present-day congestion of motor
traffic.

They have set up a Communist

We haven't done so we'll with our

Not because of lack of good inten-

due to lot of things including the
spectre of the past which has har-

the past is vague promises. Other
nations beginning with japan took
them and tore them. They have

fact that the Moscow agreement

Americans attempting TO abide by
their understanding Of the Moscow
