8 nm movie camera the item
which caused the disagreement men,
toned above
It is not that don't appreciate
having a movie camera: I like to
have one as much as the next fell
low. But I keep feeling that when
enc only earns enough to barely
break even by being careful, and
what's more. earns within the limits
of the Yesler Terrace low-income
housing project, one should con-
fine his Spending to essentials.
But. here we are again MY wife
says an 8 nm movie camera right
now is an essential for us She ar
CUES that if we wait until someday
in the future when we can afford
it. the most valuable shots = those
of cur kids in their various growing
oeins will be no longer available.
Therefore the camera is an essen
tial.
Oh but wait a minute. I would
stubbornly begin to argue. BY the
way. have told you about the beau
tiful 8 nm magazine-load Briskin
camera that now own? My wife
surprised me with this beautiful
gifi. 1t seems that shop downtown
was having sale on cameras about
the time my annual birthday was
coming around. and my wife always
remembers her husbands important
days. And for the next Fathers
Dav. she has already presented me
a leather case to go with the cam
era.
l don't want anybody to think
fhet I don't appreciate the camera.
I am very proud of it. and have al
ready taken many rolls in koda-
chrome Cat $494 a roll: don't mis-
understand now. I'm not complain
ing) What disturbs me little is
the way we compromise on our diff
ferences. All too often. our final
compromising solutions seem to be
identical with my wife's original
claims.
Some of you might have the idea
that I'm hen-pecked. Well. I'm not!
YOU should see the way I put my
foot down and make her wipe the
dishes. After all, I know what "es-
sential' means.

THIS THING CALLED
ESSENTIAL

What kind of thing is an essen
tial'? The question seems simple
enough. but I am sure most single
people do not really understand the
full meaning of the term.
Not so long ago my wife and
disagreed on the classification IF
an item; she classed it as an essen
tial, and I felt it was luxury item,
at least something of secondary
Importance. Before I describe how
we arrived at compromise. let me
present some background material.
I grew up on a farm; I can re-
call year after year of our family
just barely making ends meet. In
fact, many were the years when our
summers crops merely paid off the
winters grocery bills so that the
following winter doomed before us
without much financial cushion on
our part.
In an atmosphere like that. one
cannot help but learn frugality
Room. board, and clothing are the
basic essentials and anything else
comes as extras, luxury if you
can afford it.
Now, my wife. on the other hand,
comes from family background
of somewhat different emphasis.
Like myself, she grew up with good
lessons on frugality, because her
father never was much of a money
maker. He was man of many
ideas; creative and interesting ideas
for living came easy. but he Was
not much interested in making mo-
ney.
He was busy volunteering for re-
lief work in France. or helping to
organize an earthquake relief crew
for Mexico, or taking group of
high school kids on a boat for an
educational trip to Alaska. or taking
his family along on nationwide
lecture trip None of these ventures
made money for himself, but it
gave his family an unusual zest for
living.
Room, board, and clothing. there
fore. were to my wife merely tools
for fuller living There were other
things just as essential, such as an

HUNTING TOLL REACHES 81

Since September 1st, sixty persons have
been killed by accidental gunshot while hunt
ing and, with the annual Fall shooting season
approaching it's peak, other deaths will un-
doubtedly occur.
Strange to say, squirrel hunting has account
ed for the most of the deaths, eighteen in half
dozen states. Eight deaths occurred in the
pursuit of deer and like number in the shoot
ing of duck.
One hunter, who sought safety from death
by wearing a white sweater, was shot when
mistaken for an albino deer. Another curious
report tells of the death of hunter in West
Virginia while using the antiquated bow and
arrow.
It may be impossible to prevent the acci-
dental killing of some hunters but the death
toll is large enough to warrant the suggestion
that all hunters exercise extraordinary care
before pulling the trigger.

TO WIPE OUT T. B.

The battle against tuberculosis is rapidly
being won" declares DR.. Leonard A. Scheele,
|Surgeon-General of the U. S. Public Health
Service, who predicts that, as major health
problem, the disease should be virtually wip-
ed out" in the next fifteen years.
The Surgeon-General explained that mass
chest screenings by industries and community
groups, followed by the isolation of infected
persons, had erected a barrier to the spread of
the disease. This, in turn has made the disease
itself "self-imiting." He also called attention
Ito the BEG vaccine which is of great assistance
in immunizing large groups of tuberculosis vic
Tins in slum areas
This is interesting news to the people of the
country and reflects the progress being made
lin the fight to eliminate the disease. This is
offset, however, by the fact that DR.. Scheele
reports close to $4,000 cases poliomyelitis this
Iyear making 1949 the most devastating year
in the history of the disease He points out
that there has been marked upturn of polio
myelitis since 1943 and warns that ''the end is
not in sight"
In the fight against infantile paralysis the
most pressing need, he says, is for "a simple
diagnosis test'' to determine the presence of
the affliction. In addition, field investigation
must determine how poliomyelitis is spread
and why it behaves as it does.
Referring to another dread scourge of man.
kind, malaria, the Surgeon-General termed it
dying threat" and said that the disease is
now referred to as "the ghost of malaria" This
is another illustration of the progress being
made against the enemies of good health. Ma
laria, while not now the scourge it used to be,
is sometimes considered the likely cause of the
death of some of the earth's earlier civiliza-
tions.

EvERYBoDY's NUMBER ONE PROBLEM

Almost everybody likes riddle. Here's one.
What is it that every person needs, wants. and
would spend fortune to get; yet something
that everybody has within easy reach, often
already possesses without appreciating, and
as often loses by ones own carelessness, and
something that all who have sense of respon-
sibility in society should be willing to help all
others attain and keep?
The answer is easy health. Yes, health is
everybody's number one problem. It is Nc
Dowell County's Number One Problem, just
as it is North Carolina's Number One Prob
lem"
Too many things in our modern and complex
society rest in the realm of the visionary and
the impossible, but here is great need that we
here in Mcdowell county can do something
about. And a group of determined North Car
~olinians already have demonstrated that they
intend to do just that.
Recognizing the perilous state of the health
of our citizens causing North Carolina to be
ranked woefully near the bottom in compari-
son of health factors in the nation, these citi-
zens through the North Carolina Good Health
Association have set out to sell good health to
the people of Tar Heels.
This means providing medical care for every
citizen of the State, placing disqualification
within twenty-fi mile reach of every cit
izen, preaching the practice of preventive
medicine to lessen disease and it's results, and
providing more doctors, dentists, nurses, and
medical associates to serve the State.
A great program but not an impossible one!
The State and Federal governments have put
up two-thirds of the money needed to do the
job It is up to the county and the State to come
through with the other third
Mcdowell county has a chance to partici-
pate in this magnificent program, and by so
doing, to acquire MODERN well-equipped CO.
bed hospital at less than one-third it's actual
cost.
Make generous contribution to the current
Embarrassing drive for the new hospital. Dem
onstrate your interest in this vital effort to pro-
vide improved medical care facilities for all
our people,
Your money will be an investment in the
future welfare of Mcdowell county. It will
help to enable this generation and generations
yet unborn to receive the health care and pro-
lection which is necessary for full and a.

"DIVINE RIGHTS" FADE OUT

For centuries, the "divine right" Of kings to
govern their people was accepted throughout
most of the world regardless of the type of
government. The rulers were backed, in most
instances, by the prevailing religious organi-
cations of their lands but occasionally, the
kings and the religious leaders disagreed, with
resulting bloodshed
The doctrine of divine right for Kings is a.
bout passed. King Leopold III, of Belgium, now
in exile in Switzerland, is anxious to return to
his country and the people will soon hold re-
ferendum on the question. The monarch has
announced that he will abdicate if fewer than
fifty-five per cent of the voters favor his re-
turn.
The victory of the people, over their rul-
ers is complete except in some of the more
backward countries In the place of hereditary
monarchs however, there have come into ex-
istence other types of rulers to dominate the
people and to control their thinking and their
activities. In time, the people will remove
them from their pedestals.

Some months ago, the Marion
Garden Club started a plan for our
town to have an official flower.
The Club suggested four flowers
which are suitable,-1ris, rose,
chrysanthemums and pansy. The
rose was unanimously chosen and
then the Garden Club was given a
vote, since their vote had been re-
served for final decision, in case
of a tie.
Now that all have selected the
rose, the Garden Club plans to have
a series of articles appearing in our
Marion papers in regard to this
flower. These articles will be writ
ten by members of the Garden Club
and other towns people who have
experience and success in growing
roses. Our aim is to encourage ev-
cry Marionette to grow roses, and
MORE ROSES. We want a rose
bush in every garden and yard in
Marion. To do this successfully, we
have to know the kinds, the vari-
eties best suited to our section, the
selecting and proper planting of
bushes and then their care from
week to week.
We feel sure that no other plant
can give as great returns in beauty

nation. We can't answers all your
questions but we can direct you to
folks who can give you the desired
information.
Our rose today is really an inter-
national, flower. Many nations have
developed different kinds and have
improved them from very humble
beginnings, the dog rose and briar
rose. The countries that have con-
tributed much are the following:
Syria-Damask rose, 1875.
Southern Russia-Moss and Cab
bage rose, 1895.
France-French rose, 1896.
China-China and Tea, 1859.
China-Polyanthas, 1922.
Japan-Japanese rose, 1845.
New varieties are produced by
cross pollination. This is long,
slow process, as long as seven years
may be spent on one rose. Some
years ago there were $500 seed
lings in one garden. Two years later
they had been reduced to 800 that
seemed worth while. One year later
only Is were retained to continue
further development. A true gar
dener must be a cruel despot and
not gentle soul.

SOLVING A OUANDRY

On the last day of it's session Congress solv-
ed the perplexing question of what to do with
the mountains of agricultural SURF lu e s
bought with taxpayers money and which were
giving officials of the Department of Agricul-
ture headaches and nightmares.
It cut the Gordian knot by the simple die
tum of giving the stuff away. The new farm
bill gives the government permission to un-
load whatever food it cannot sell. It can do so
through barter with foreign countries for 9TH

stuff to the national food lunch program, to
the Indians, to public welfare institutions or

OUR DEFENSE BUDGET

The budget of the United States has been
termed "defense budget and there is reas-
on to believe that it is.
Something like $4,000, 100000 is being al
located the three armed services, another sew
en- or eight billion goes for aid and assistance
abroad, and about five billions are being spent
annually for the benefit of veterans of past
wars.
In addition, interest on the national debt,
most of it incurred in the prosecution of war
fare, amounts to four or five billion dollars a
|year.
Despite the large sums involved it is we'll to
remember that it is cheaper to win wars than
Ito lose them Moreover, retention of freedom
and liberty is worth whatever number of bill
lions of dollars the job requires.
