NOTES AND COMMENT
Our two-year plan calls for a vegetable garden
next year.
Children often try the patience of their parents
and vice versa.
The unfolding of truth is rarely assisted by men
who know It all.
If words were acts there would be no problems
left to be solved. ,
1 Trade Hint: There seems to be something of a
glut In the ball-pen market.
Education will help people but It is not the ans
wer to every personal problem.
"Live slow, play slow,” advises a physician who
evidently forgot current prices.
Our Monthly Piece of Advice: Drive slower than
ever and live longer than you might.
A case in court is not only expensive to both
sides but it is long-drawn out affair.
It’s tough on brain-trusters, socalled; they suf
fer from heart trouble more than other guys.
Money has made people forget that trade is
barter and that wealth is to be found in goods.
War Is not likely in the near future but, then
again, it might sneak up on the United States.
It may slound strange to some business tycoons
but you can’t make men work by passing laws.
Few readers realize how much stuff the average
newspaper prints as a public service feature.
No American citizen should be a partisan of
any other country or cause; in brief, we need no
hyphenated citizens.
If you want to know what has happened to the
cost of living look up some record! about fourteen
years old.
We have no objection to the effort to improve
the human race but the process seems to be slow
at-work.
With the world in need of food it is good to
know that American wheat growers have a bumper
crop in sight.
When you plan your vacation trip you might as
well plan to have the Forsyth County News follow
you.
The world has any number of otherwise smart
people who are chonicallv against whatever is pro
posed. s
Economists tell us that many war initiated en
terprise are dropping out of the race to get the buy
ers’ money.
The banner of tolerance is often at the head of
the parade of those who want more than tolerance.
Almost every human being is ready to “do
something” for the unfortunate; the something, how
ever, often varies.
Despite our optimism we are a bit suspicious
of the fellow who is doing something for our good
and at his expense.
It is surprising how little a politician has to do
for a man to make him believe that the legislator
is indispensable.
What has become of the economic expert who
said that abolition of price controls would be follow
ed by lower prices?
Mass movements tend to make modem man,
despite all the talk about the sanctity of the indi
vidual, a rubber-stamp unit.
It is very difficult for an individual, or the indi
viduals composing a group, to study the past long
enough to discover mistakes.
In 2500 B. C. Egytian girls reddened their nails;
this shows that the modem miss has caught up with
the earlier civilization.
The end of the world, when it arrives, will find
some people busy telling the rest of the human race
what Is the matter with them.
The land of the free is fast, becoming the place
where minorities, organized and aggressive, are tell
ing the majority what must be done.
The industrial development of Cumming de
pends, in the long run, upon what the people of
Cumming do with their surplus cash. 11
RED CROSS SUCCESS
The American Red Cross announces that its
drive for $60,000,000 has been met by contributions
of more than $75,000,000. The percentage of over
subscription, it Is said, exceeds that of any campaign
in wartime or since. Naturally, Harvey D. Gibson,
National Chairman of the campaign, is gratified and
concludes that “the American people are congi
zant of the organization's post-war responsibilities.”
It seems 3,000 of the 3,746 domestic chapters ex
ceeded their goals with others getting above quotas
every day. Some 17,000,000 Americans contributed
to the Red Cross, thus assuring the nation that its
program of health education, assistance to veterans
and their families, disaster relief and services to the
armed forces will continue.
NARROWLY MISSED DEATH
Just to show the uncertainty of life, we call at
tention to the experience of a young woman, a col
lege senior, who narrowly missed death the other
day when an unknown man suddenly pushed her in
front of a subway train in a New York station.
The girl, talking with friends, was hurled to the
track by the man, who stepped up behind her and
pushed her onto the roadbed. Fortunately, the train
was proceeding under caution lights and track work
ers picked her up about the time the engineer
brough the train to a stop.
The assailant, it seems, was released from a
mental hospital about two years ago "as recovered
and harmless” but. as a magistrate pointed out, he
was a man roaming around and endangering the
lives of other persons. His doctor said that his pat
ient never showed dangerous tendencies but he ad
mitted that certain tendencies might develop at any
time.
NO PROSPECT
"Satisfactory political and economic relations
are not possible as long as the Franco regime re
mains in power,” declares the State Department, in
denying that loans or credits are being considered
to Spain.
It seems that Spanish newspapers, taking cog
nizance of the assistance proposed for Greece and
Turkey, suggested that in view of General Franco’s
anti-communism, there might be a prospect of
American assistance for Spain.
