In a prepared statement o. w.
Anderson, County Agent, states:
"This is National All Club
Week, a period set aside for medi-
tating upon the many problems in
cident to the proper development of
rural boys and girls, into whose
hands we, as adults, will soon
throw the proverbial torch, and
this time the torch is red hot.
"There are approximately 1,800,-
900 farm youths composing the
local clubs throughout the breadth
of this country, who, by the aid of
parents, voluntary local leaders,
and County Extension workers,
are moving forward under the
motto TO Make My Best Better
This is great start, but the num-
Der receiving such training should
be increased several fold, not only
because they learn the best known
practices in farming and home
making, but more important yet,
they are trained in the fundamen-
tails of democracy and citizenship.
On enrolling in a club they COM
nit themselves to this proposition :
| Pledge .
My HEAD to clearer thinking
My HEART to greater loyalty
My HANDS to larger service, and
My HEALTH to better livintg
For my Club, my Community
and my Country.
"They grow to manhood and
womanhood under this influence,
and l challenge anyone to cite a
a case where a 4-H'er has. been
brought before either a juvenile,
police or circuit court accused of
any major crime. No wonder then
that after national study by one
of Americas greatest magazines,
the editor told me Beyond doubt,
All Club work is the greatest
organization of any kind in the
world today 1t is said in holy writ
AS man thinketh in his heart, so
is he; l say that as boy or girl
voluntarily doeth in his spare time,
so is he or she.
"Our County ranks among the
top few in All training, but we
can still do better by the rank and
file of our county youth. Suppose
you were of high school age, where
would you go during leisure hours
for entertainment and recreation =?
Where? Thank goodness, we have
sufficient citizens of foresight to
be doing something about it right
now. 1t is the dream of these lead
ers that our Fair and Recreational
Center now under construction will
be sufficiently attractive to sue

people are not looking for trouble
but for fun. 1t is up to US to fur

GAS the mark of a good citizen

womanhood and manhood. It.
therefore, behooves us as adults to

RED CROSS is A SERVICE
ORGANIZATION

The Red Cross is primarily SERVICE or
ganization. The Red Cross serves people in
need but more often than not, their need is not
something popularly considered "relief'-such
meat and potatoes clothing, or money to

Take these examples:

the rapids of river and screams for help A
Red Constrained lifesaver plunges in, rescues
him, resuscitates him.
whole community is stricken with influen-
Ia or typhoid or polio, and scores of Red Cross
trained nurses aides are recruited to assist
the graduate nurses available.
Far out in the country farmer is injured by
his tractor. A responds to give him first

government benefits to which he is entitled, but
something from his narrowing war experience
has retarded his rehabilitation. He needs no
groceries or money or anything that can be
handled. He needs intelligent COUNSEL sensible
sympathy-a friendly hand on the shoulder
And the Red Cross hospital service worker does
just that
In every case-the child saved from drown

injured by the tractor, the war veteran needing
counsel-All were aided mmeasureably by the
Red Cross, but not without cost in salaries paid
to people who serve these people in need, or
who train or supervise people to serve others

Relief cannot always be wrapped up as a
tangible commodity. Part Of the annual budget
of Red Cross is expended for direct Erelef,"
such as groceries, clothing, and shelter; but

"WE NEED NOT FEAR"

eve need not today fear the Communists
in this country" declares Justice William O.
Douglas, of the U. S. Supreme Court, "for their
numbers are SMALL What we should fear, ac-
cording to the jurist, is the Communist propa-
ganda
In this connection Justice Douglas proposes
two major steps in the campaign against Com
munism. One would end the "shameful prac-
tice' of attacking genuine liberals as Commu-
nsts and the other would withdraw the sup
port of this Government for all "sef-seeking
corrupt or Facist'' foreign governments.
In line with the first observation, the Justice
says that we must quit "branding as Commu-
mist one who espouses liberal reform pro-
notes program for the underprivileged
pointing out that when liberals are pilloried as
Communists, Communist influence grows and
spreads.
On the second point Justice Douglas says
that the victory over Communism Twill be won
in the factories and rice felds'' and depends
"for its ultimate success on the people of the
various nations, not on their governments.'
The Justice did not specify any nations and
his comments were couched in somewhat gen.
eral terms. The thoughts contained will be
generally approved by the people of this coun-
try but when it comes to putting them into ef
fective application, the trouble will begin

Hoey Praises N. G..
Negroes In Filibuster

Washington, March 3-senator
Hoey, d., N c., joining other
Southern Senators in the fight to
keep the fiibuster, had loud praise
for North Carolina Negroes yester-
day.
The North Carolinian labelled the
civil rights proposal against poll
tax, lynching and segration and for
fair employment the "four horse
men of politics." He said adoption
of any of the civil rights proposals
will do violence to the Constitution
and invade the rights of individuals.
But at the same time, he prais-
ed Negroes of his State, declaring:
81 pay tribute to the Negroes of
North Carolina, to their good
sense, to their Judgment, to their
patriotism and to their loyalty"
Using North Carolina Negroes as
an example, Hoey turned to their

OUT FOR BUSINESS

According to survey, many retail stores
increasing their promotional efforts this
year. That simply means that still more effort
will be devoted to seeking the good will and
patronage of the buying public.
In all but few fields, the buyers market is
back and shortages thing of the past.
The "easy money" spending spree has lost
most of it's momentum, and people want full
value for what they spend. This has led to
more aggressive competition among stores of
all sizes and types, and to even greater real
ization on the part of merchants that their
future depends how we'll consumers are
are served.
situation such as this can exist only in
free market, where one has monopoly on
the business, where anyone can go into retail
trade if he chooses, and where every consumer
is free to take his trade where he will. The re-
suits are seen on every hand-in voluntary re-
ductions in profits by retailers, in better ply
sical equipment in stores, in higher standards
of service and courtesy, in the wide range of
stocks that await the shoppers selection.

PANGS-PHYSICAL AND MENTAL

Some readers will recall the panic that was
created in the northeastern part of the United
Estates some years ago when Orson Wees put
Mars Thousands Of people were completely
fooled and there was danger of something like
NESS hYsteria.
In Ecuador the other night, a radio station
put on drama, based on H. c.. Wells fantastic
novel. "The War Of the Worlds" but localized
to desribe strange creatures from Mars landing

tic efforts to calm the people and to show them
that the story was fictional failed to convince
Ia vstal'ical mob. EM
The mob Immediately attacked and burned
the building of newspaper, which housed the
radio station, killing six persons and injuring
score. The building and the equipment of the
with loss estimated at more than $35O,OOO.
The incidents demonstrate the danger Of
mass hysteria, however inspired. The dramatic
presentation of ina aginary invasions when ac-
|cepted by listeners as a fact, become terrible
and people, in their recklessness in the face of
immediate danger, lose their reasoning powers.
Much the same comments can be made about
every effort to organize people along the lines
of mass action. The proponents of such demon
strations may not succeed in causing mob vo-
lence but they do succeed in creating mental
violence that runs pretty close, at times, to
lynching the truth.

A PLAN TO PREVENT WAR

t,might be a good idea, in connection with
discussions about the proposed North Atlantic
Security Pact to understand that it's prime pur-

to deter Russia from aggression and thus pre-
vent war.
The idea is general in Western Europe that
the Russians will not attack the countries of
Western Europe if Moscow knows that the
United States will Immediately come in on the
side of the nations attacked If this is made
abundantly clear to the Russian leaders, the
leaders seem to be confident that no war is in
