LET'S use OUR HEADS

Every once in while good sign
appears in this disordered and unpre-
dictable world. One such sign has been
the cessation of the scare buying and
boarding that followed on the out
break of the Korean war.
At that time, comparatively
small number of consumers thronged
into stores and bought up just about
everything in sight. The result was
temporary shortages of certain items.
Now, for the most part, this disloca-
ton in the normal supply-demand sit
uation has been corrected.
1t is a tribute to the good sense OF
the American people-to say nothing
of patriotic considerations that only
few followed the disgraceful prac-
tice of boarding. And it is also tribute
to the character of American business
that, in every way possible, it discour-
aged scare-buying and pointed out

how foolish, dangerous and unneces-
sary it is. Business, in other. words, re-
sisted to the best of it's ability the op-
portunity to make fast profit, on be-
half of the long-term interests OF the
country and itself.
Retail stores, includi"" 10th the
chain systems and the Independents,
were especially active in this work.
Through advertisements, signs, press
releases, and other means of commune

A Sign OF PROGRESS

Two months ago the BARRIERS in Co.
lumbus county got together for the
first time for the purpose of forming
an organization with a common pur-
pose. Last week they held their second
meeting, this time in Tabor City.
In their organization are BARRIERS
from the four principal towns in Co.
lumbus, Whiteville, Tabor City, Chad
bourn and Fair Olrff
last Thursday night, they had more
than two third of all the BARRIERS to-
eether for what probably was the first
time.
They have great number OF prob
lens to iron out. Many of their opera
tons even within the same community
are varied and different. Yet, the tact
remains, that it is sign OF progress
to see these persons striving toward
organization that is designed to I'M
ton, there can be none.
They are paced with the inevitable
problems of all young organizations,

HOW LONG WILL OUR COAL LAST?

underground supplies of coal are safe
from enemy attack on a significant
scale.
We have heard that coal is 'sick
Industry" and that the cure is some
sort of political medicine. The same ex-
pert scotched this theory. The indus
try, he said, will continue to progress
"without any props from the govern
ment. 1t wants no subsidies at the tax
payers expense. We want our tree
competitive system to be allowed to OPP
crate, which in the end means that
those who are competent, efficient and
aggressive will carry on and produce
and sell their coal at prices consistent
with sound business principles"
That is a wise and sound point Of
view. Free enterprise has brought coal
to its present high peak of develop
ment. Free enterprise can do still better
in the future.

that is, views are so far apart that
much discussion will be required be-
fore they come to see eye to eye. Yet'
these rough spots will eventually be
another noteworthy organization to
those already in existance in Columbus
county.
The BARRIERS of today in this area
probably put in more working hours
than any other trade. When you stop
to think that BARRIERS are on the JOB
about Sc hours week the year a.
round, you stop to realize the need for
an organization. Whether they will be
able to get together on fewer num-
her hours remains to be seen. However,
the very fact that they do now have
functioning organization gives them
something from which to start their
negotiations. Without these gatherings
and the basic opportunity for coopera-
ton, there can be done.
The Columbus County BARRIERS AS
ISOLATION has our every good wish tor
success.

During 1850, Americas soft coal
production will total about 500,000,-
000tons. That is huge amount, even
though it is far below the proven capa-
city of the industry. At that produc-
ton rate, just how long will our coal
reserves last us:
An expert in the field recently
supplied the answer to that question.
He didn't give specific date, for the
reason that, to all practical purposes,
our coal reserves are unlimited. He
said that Illinois has enough coal to last
for 5000 years, Indiana 1000, and
Kentucky 1,400 years.
Coal comprises about s. per cent of
all fuel reserves. 1t is and will be for
years to come the backbone of our
economy. 1t is absolutely essential to
the operation of the steel, power and
other industries. And, of great poten-
tial importance, our widely dispersed,

These "farmers.in-the-making"
from every part of the country
are the state and national
champions who far their out

a trip to the Al Congress. They

and 227 watches will be given to
state winners, and beautiful gold
and silver medals representing
twenty projects will be awarded
to 4-H members for winning
county honors.
All this has been made pos

their own irresponsible monetary poll
cies onto private scapegoats known as
''profiteers" go.
'sThere is in existence at present
more than three times the volume OF
money and credit as in 1889. 1t is
this increase in monetary purchasing
power, brought about by government
policy, and not a continuance OF war
shortages or so-called "profiteering, y
that caused the high prices prior to
June IS of this year."
Until the people understand these
hard facts and demand a new
measure of integrity and frugality
in the administration of government
there is nothing but increasing misery
in store for them-war or no war and
regardless of controls. This applies
with added emphasis to labor, agricul-
tural, business and civic leaders who go
along with the promotion of local pro-
jects at Federal expense and the en-
dorsement of officeholders and candi-
dates whose primary qualification is
ability to secure Federal handouts.

Critics have pointed out that the
above self-imposed rules, literally in
terpreted, would have slight effect on
the scale and expense of the Dept.
of Interiors construction activities.
And it is safe bet that if given enough
rope the Department will interpret the
rules literally, since it has been the
chief protagonist of naturalization
of the electric industry under any
guise that comes in handy. At present
the public power spokesman are claim
ing the war emergency as an excufe
for going ahead with plans to spend
billions of tax dollars for unnecessary
construction of Federal electric gener-
ating and distribution systems, regard
less of the fact that the most efficient
electric industry in the world, owned
and run by private citizens, has DEM
onstrated that it is more than able to
meet the country's requirements, and
paw heavy taxes in addition.

WHY NOT A MAN OF THE YEAR:

those who have in years past and Will
continue to give great deal OF their
time to the betterment OF our town
and Improvement of our ideals.
This project would not require a
great deal of effort. 1t simply would
require canvassing of persons tamil
Jar with civic operations once each
wear. The selection of the man from
the opinions of those persons contacted,
and the calling of general meeting
of citizenry at which time the mans
name would be disclosedi he would
get the official recognition an per-
haps be given small gift as token
Of the services which he rendered.
1t most certainly should be done.
1t is a worthy project that doesn't call
for the solicitation of funds like SO
many projects require that civic clubs
through necessity sponsor.
Won't some one take this sugges-
ton to heart and get the ball rolling:

SUGAR-COATED STOPGAP

Many people assume that wartime
controls are Just around the corner but
before being panicked into them they
should realize that at best controls are
no more than sugar-coated stopgaps.
In the long run nothing can control
initiation except the balancing of gov
eminent income and outgo. This has
not been done for nearly generation.
The present threatening possibility OF
third world war is merely aggravat-
ing chronic problem.
One of the most competent OF the
dissenters insofar as the price control
craze is concerned is Henry Hazlitt,
author of column entitled Business
Tides, in Newsweek magazine. Recent
Iy he warned that: General price con-
troll is at once an ineffective and
Gripping device by which govern
ment pretends to protect it's citizens
against the inescapable consequences
of it's own fiscal and monetary policies.
But it has the merit-for the bureau
crats-of DETECTING attention from

Opposed to him is Candidate B,
who stands for curbing Federal
Government power, the sanctity

believes that security can only
be attained for the individual by

Yes, with few exceptions, there
is a real choice as between can
didates. and it is our right to
choolsc. No matter what the
choice, every eligible voter should
exercise his or her precious A.
merican privilege next November

to vote for that choice. May your
choice be wise, but wise or un,
wise, do your duty-VOTE.

This practice is carried on IN many

usually sponsored by the Junior Cham
Der of Commerce. However, we nave

THE AMERICAN WA Y
A PRIVILEGE AND
DUTY
By George Peck
By George Peck

What will happen to America
in the next few years does not
depend entirely upon the Masters
of the Kremlin. 1t is true that
we may have to meet and defeat
in an about global war, a tyrant
obSeSSed with an unattalnable
ambition for world conquest. NO
one can tell what is in Stains
mind, perhaps not even Stain
himself. He may or may not de-
eide to unleash his mad dogs
upon the non-Communist world.
However, there is something
we can do to make sure that II
Stain becomes really unpleasant,
he will be ANONYMOUSLY defeat
ed. We can elect men and women
to Congress on next November
+, on whom we can rely to do
what must be done to keep this
nation militarily strong and
ready; to skillfully cement our
relations with. other nations op-
posed to Russia: and who will
not weaken our economy in riot
Gus spending upon socialistic
schemes.
IN recent years the number OF
countries in which citizens have
retained the privilege Of going
to the polls to vote for candidates
of their choice, without fear OF
reprisals, has narrowed down to
a very few. How fortunate in
deed are we Americans that our
country is one of that handful!
In view of this is almost
beyond comprehension that mil
lions Of American citizens in past
elections have been so unappre-
ciative of their American herlt-
age that they did not take the
trouble TO vote. But statistics
can not be denied and the records
are there to prove that millions
among US failed to exercise their
voting franchise.
Every American of voting age
owes ii to himself and his fellow
citizens to vote. The voting fran
chise is not only a right, 1t carries
an obligation as we'll. That fran
chise was originally purchased
for him by the Fonding Fathers
at great expenditure of Blood,
Sweat. and Tears" He is indeed
an migrate who fails to use It..
It is paradoXical that much of
the clamor against the actions OF
Congress and the Administration
comes from the very people who
/ at election time show absolutely
no concern as to who is to rep
resent or misrepresent them at
Washington. They who bestir
themselves the least are the loud
est in their condemnation.
On November we will again
choose Congress-We will elect
men and women to represent us
at Washington. We must make
certain that the candidate OF our
choice measures up to the title
Representative" in the spirit
and action as we'll as in name.
The political party tag the can
didate wears must not influence
our vote-rather, the integrity,
the ability, and the craftsmanship
of the candidate should be the
determining factors.
The old hackneyed excuse that
there is little or no difference
the policies of the candidates
most assuredly can not be offer
ed at the forthcoming election.
Perhaps never before in our his
tory has there been such a dis
tinct line of demarcation between
candidates.
In nearly every. Congressional
District there is a Candidate A,
who stands for concentration of
power at Washington, negation
of States Rights, wasteful Gov
ornnoenta1 exnenditrra on over.

There's nothing we can do about
it now. But I hope the public dis
closure will discourage loans in the
future"
Senator Douglas said the loan
was against public policy, should
not have been made and is impos-
sible to justify"
Construction of the Mapes Ho-
tel was financed in 1867 by the
Bank of America and the First Ma
tional Bank of Reno. Last October,
the RFC took over $975.000 of
their obligations and left the banks
with $325,000.
RFC Notwithstanding Direc-
tor Harvey Gunderson and Board
Chairman Harley Hise-defended
the loan as a legitimate transac-
ton in the public interest. Mr..
Gunderson said it was no worse TO
loan money to a hotel with a legal
casino than to one with a bar.
They argued the hotel could pay
it's way even without the income
from Lou Wertheimer's Sky Room
which last year paid the hotel
$103, 900 for rental.
At Reno, Wertheimer said he
didn't even know about the RFC
loan. The hotel financing, he said.
was. hotel business and entirely
separate from the casino.
Senator Fulbright noted the
loan was made despite disapproval
of the San Francisco RFC agency
examiner, the agency advisory
committee. the agency review COM
mittee and the Washington RFC
committee which reviews loans.

Ijections by a 3-to-2 vote to approve

What happens if Mert Vert
heimer'S swank new gambling spo
starts taking the play away from
his brother LOUIS Sky Room Casino
at Reno, Nev.?
Two Senators. Fulbright, Dem.
ocrat, of Arkansas and Douglas
Democrat, of Illinois, said yesterday
that the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. may have to take chips tc
back q $975, 900 loan it made last
year. Disclosure of the loan yes
terday started a furor at the
Capitol.
Senators Fulbright and Douglas
are members of a Senate Banking
Committee checking on RFC lend
ing policies. They contended at a
committee hearing that: (A) The
United States Government, through
an RFC loan, is a stake holder in
LOUIS place and (B) if Merits joint
starts drawing the crowds, RFC
may have to raise the ante at
LOUIS to stay even.
Lou operates the Sky Room
Casino at the Mapes Hotel. The
hotel got the $975,000 loan.
Over at the Riverside Hotel, a
81 million batch of privately f.
nanced improvements will give
new class and tone to Merits gam
ing room. opening August /. Gam
bling rooms are legal in Nevada.
Senators Fulbright and Douglas
said the RFC never should have
become involved with the Mapes
Hotel in the first place, especially
since Lou Wertheimer is a known
big-time gambler with police
record.
There's just no excuse for the
1oan," Senator Fulbright, chair
