The story of this non-prOfit
sharing corporation is one of Swed-
list industriousness from it's meager
beginnings to the present time.
The originator was DR.. N. A. Jo-
hanson, born in Lund, Sweden,
where he studied at Lund Uni
versity. Assisted by nine Swedish
businessmen in Seattle he launched
the project in an apartment house
on Belmont Ave. with only rs
beds in 1910. DR.. Johanson, who
died in 1047, lived to see the hos
pital through various stages of
improvements to its present ca
pacity.
Swedish directors
From a Scandinavian viewpoint,
the most interesting feature about
the hospital and its nine directors
is the fact that the board must
consist only of persons born in
Sweden or of Swedish descent, and
this evidently will prevail as long
as there is a Swedish Hospital. It
is quite obvious that the consist
ent Swedish composition has also

FINANCIAL FILM FLAM
PRACTICED BY GOVERNMENT
Chester, Pa. Times)

During the coming year, a To-
tai of SLIT, 100000 in Series E
government bonds will mature.
They are bonds starting with the
$18.75 price and maturing at $25
in ten years. That's an average
annual interest rate of 1890.
Unlike sound business opera
tons, the federal government
doesn't set aside a sinking fund
to pay off it's maturing Series E
bonds. And faced with tremendous
expenditures for defense, war and
civilian projects of one kind and
another, many of which are an
outgrowth of the welfare state
idea, the government is seeking
ways to have the holders of the
maturing bonds hold them and not
ask for their money.
Ever since the end of the war,
the small denomination govern
ment bonds have been cashed in
at faster rate than they have
been bought. In November, for
example, $246,1O9,OOO in Series E
Treasury Savings Bonds were
bought and $317,s63,OO0 were
cashed in, leaving the treasury
ST., $4,000 in the red on its Ser
les E bond operations.
Meanwhile the federal govern
ment's infationary policies have
cut the value of the American
dollar so that the $25 a Series E
bond owner receives today will
not buy as much as the $18.75
he paid for the bond ten years
ago.
All of which is additional evil
dence that governments are not
creative forces in any sense of the
word. They simply take by taxes
the wealth that is created by the
enterprise of the people and use
it up faster than the people are
able to create it. And knowing
that heavy taxes lead inevitably
to an overthrow of the officials
in power, such devices as govern
ment Savings" bonds are issued,
and social security" taxes are
raised and expanded to bring in
more and more millions for i'm
mediate spending by the govern
ment.
This financial hocus pocus and
official film fam has been prac-
ticed by governments down
through history, Just as it is be-
ing practiced today by our own
government.

LET'S TREAT
OUR VISITORS WELL
I'm the Sanford Heraldl

(In the Sanford Herald)
Word comes to US that tourists
dropped a cool million dollars in
the Sanford area during the year
of 1850, and this amount of new
money gaining circulation in this
section is boom to business in
general.
1t is hoped that our businesses
which provided the food, shelter
and amusement for these visitors
in our area did a good job of MAX
ing these people welcome.
The tourist business is the third
largest industry in the state, rank
ing behind tobacco and textiles. So
it is big business. Let US get all
we can, and do all we can to
nurture it. Kindnesses shoun these
visitors constitute the best adver-
Using we can do.
It sounds so good when you
are travelling to hear a person
say: Sanford? Yes, I remember
Sanford. / stopped there for a
good meal. / was treated so well
by the people and I enjoyed my
stay there a lot. The people there
are nice and very friendly, just

Will Our Routine Be Interrupted?
I'm the Georgetown, S. c., Times)
In these critical times, events
of national and international i'm
uortance should be of absorbing
interest to each of US here in
Georgetown. This is a tense mo-
ment in the history of the world.
Life as we know it may become
a thing of the past if a third
World War is entered into. Many
of us are so absorbed in the daily
routines of our lives that we ig-
more the trends of the outside
world. We may say that we will
leave politics to the politicians,
foreign policy to our statesmen,
military matters to military ex-
perts, but in a democracy it is
our responsibility to keep check
on all these. 1t has been proven
that public opinion is often way
ahead of our legislators, that
many heads are better than few,
that the common sense of the
American people is evident.
OF course, most readers who
read editorials are already aware
of all this, so it would not apply
to you. Perhaps We should write
an editorial suggesting that peo-
pie read editorials.

General Lucius Clay of Georgia,
now special assistant to Charles
E. Wilson, of the Office of De-
tense Mobilization, in the January
Is NEW YORKER. One of the
most provocative sentences in the
article, written by E. J. Kahn,
was one about another general,
however. Kahn had been describ-
ing how well Clay got to know
Germany when he was military
commander there; then he added,
unlike Macarthur, who hasn't
visited any part of Japan but Tok-
20 since his occupation started,
Clay travelled all over Germany"

Robert w. Winston, chairman
of the North Carolina Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board, and Geo.
Andrews, chief of the North Car
DINA Enforcement Division, join
ed liquor law enforcement officials
of seven other southeast states in
Atlanta last week to discuss me-
thods of preventing bootlegging.
The group decided to ask Con-
gress for laws limiting issuance
of federal permits to supply ac-
curate identification. One of the
officials at Atlanta said federal
permits are now issued to "any-
one who goes up and pays $27.50.
We get the lists of those per-
mits," he added, "but these boot
leggers who do not have a state
permit usually give some fictitious
name and we don't have any idea
who they are"

Incidentally, though the U. S.
Marines don't often take "the long
way around" to get anything done,
Marine Sgt. Simpson tells US that
he has to go all the way around
via Elizabeth City when he comes
home from Camp LeJeune. He
can't get off before 4:30, which
is too late to enable him to catch
the last ferry at Manns Harbor.
He inquired about the progress
that's being made to get bridge,
and we had to report the sad
news that is the last we've heard
that everybody seems in favor
of building the bridge at once, with
the rather important exceptions of
the highway commission, the gov
ernor and the general assembly.
After the Sgt. left, it occurred
to US that maybe the Marines
would like to go on maneuvers in
Croatan Sound, throw a pontoon
bridge across it, and then forget
to take it away with them. .
They could undertake the same
project on the Alligator River the
next week.

We know that speaking criti-
cally of the great Macarthur is
about as dangerous as criticizing
Hhey Long in rural Louisiana, for
he has admirers everywhere; but,
as the title of this column sug-
gests, there have to be a few sour
''kinds," even some who feel that
Macarthur would be a less vul-
nerable "hero" if he spent the
time he uses composing those
flowery, quotable press releases
in looking around him to see what
sort of thing his troops and the
public ought to be told. We've al
ways thought of General MacAr-
thur as the Gorgeous George"
of his profession-probably an ex-
cellent fighter, but rather more
concerned with the way he looks
to the public than a real fighter
ought to be. For US, he was char
acterized in the same issue of the
magazine referred TO ABOVE, III
a happy bit of phrasing that had
nothing to do with Macarthur at
all. The movie reviewer was dis
cussing a movie about the late
war, in which the characters
talked unrealistic, chest-beating
bombast. Of one of the characters,
he said: He "talks more like a
Fourth of July orator than any
man has a right to do in the
presence of DEATH" That's
what we've been struggling to say
about Macarthur for years, bat
we've never had the wit to get
it nutshelled so neatly.
