THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1945.
THE TIMES’ PLATFORM FOR DADE COUNTY AND GEORGIA
1. Plan to meet the needs of an expanding Trenton and a
greater and finer Dade County.
2. Home Rule for counties and cities.
3. An improved state school system with adequate pay for
for competent teachers and officials.
4. Help win the peace—and keep it.
WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN—
The government has ordered all limits off any construction,
including house building, as of Oct. 15, despite the fears of OPA
and other agencies that prices will skyrocket. This is in line with
true American tradition. Agencies which controlled the nations
activites during the war are bound to develop a feeling that their
services are indispensable in peacetime, and no matter when con¬
trol are released they can figure up a good “emergency” argument
for continuing them.
As government throws of restraints, industry and individuals
faces the obligation of showing themselves capable of voluntary
control over their own actions to prevent inflationary prices. The
people now have a chance to prove that they are intelligent enough
to conduct the affairs of this nation, as in the past, without gov¬
ernment policing to prevent price gouging. It is probable that price
increases in some cases will be necessary to meet increased cost of
production. On the other hand, it is Just as probable that mass
production and distribution may in many cases hold prices at cur¬
rent levels or actually reduce them under the stimulus of competi¬
tion.
The nation’s leading retailers, including chain store systems
in all lines of activity, will be a powerful brake on any tendency
to unnecessarily inflate manufacturing costs. The consumer and
the retailer can refuse to buy any article whose producers seek to
take undue advantage of the demand for goods.
Aside from all this, when the chips are finally down it should
be remembered that in the long run the authoritarian system which
price control represents must be abandoned at any cost if repre¬
sentative government is to be preserved. We are Indeed a fickle
people if we let the stresses of inflation destroy the free institu¬
tions of our Republic.
WHAT PATTERN FREEROM—
The labor situation in the United States today causes any per¬
son with the welfare of his country at heart, to think of its future
with a feeling almost of fear. We see powerful labor unions calling
strikes which force hundreds of thousands of men to be ldlel If
there are a million men in the United States today without work,
who do not care to join unions, they will not be permitted to take
Jobs in “struck” plants. Little dictators all over the United States
can lawfully prevent a man from exercising his constitutional right
to earn a living, unless he “joins” and “pays” for the privilege, re¬
gardless of his wishes in the matter.
Take the situation in the oil industry, for example. The presi¬
dent of the Oil Workers International Union which has a dispute
with major oil companies, has the authority to call out nearly
300„000 oil workers and close down oil production without regard to
the damage and suffering cause a nation of 135,000,000 people. The
oil workers are among the highest paid in the land, and they work
short hours. They not only clanm the right to destroy the oil indus¬
try if necessary to enforce their demands, but they can prevent
other men who might be idle, from taking their jobs. And they do
this under the law. How can such a condition exist in a country
that is supposed to have a Constitution guaranteeing and pro¬
tecting individual freedom?
What would happen if the oil company should organize a union
of corporators, and say to the public: “We are going to raise the
price of oil products 30 per cent, and we will hire any man, union
or non-union.” That would be collusion in restraint of trade, and
such companies would find themselves in the hands of the law.
But how would that be collusion any more than in the case of labor
organizations that agree on a uniform policy and price which must
be met by companies and the public to prevent a shutdown?
The whole situation is preposterous: First, because one man or
a group of men can tell another man or a group of men that they
cannot work, and by right of might get away with it. Second, be¬
cause an unregulated "international” organization can, by col¬
lusion and agreement within our borders, close an entire industry.
Third, because our national labor policies actually prevent a
“struck” company from hiring American citizens who might "dare”
to go through the “picket lines” of strikers. Fourth, because we
consider passing full employment laws and paying unemployment
compensation when our national labor policy permits unregulated
labor monopolies to prevent unemployed men from working if they
so desire, or employers from hiring them if they need them.
While maintaining this burlesque on freedom in the United
States which leaves 135,000,000 people at the mercy of unregulated
labor organizations and labor dictators, we are presumptuous
enough to think that we can be a major influence in working out
peace policies for the world, that will guarantee liberty and op¬
portunity for oppressed individuals in other nations. What pattern
of freedom can we offer from our own land where a man hasn’t the
right to work without joining specified organizations and paying
lor that privilege whether or not he so desires?
Unless labor organizations adopt 'appeal and service” as their
drawing card for securing members and social gains, rather than
“force and coercion,” they are repudiating the principles on which
they were founded, and destroying the freedom of the worker.

The children's bureau is also

It is pointed out that veterans’ or¬

THE EDUCATED HYPOCRITE
Did you ever have a person
criticize you because you did’nt
use “correct” English? I have
plenty, but it don’t worry me
none because I know I have th r
"goody and they have the hull”
Advocates of correct English
are usually full of vanity and
often use the practice of thi'
super-artificiality to cover up
a weak character full of defects
which they are constantly afraid
will “show through” the thin
veneer. The true gold of any
language or literature is no +
measured by rules of grammar
or laid down by any one mar
of any certain age, but by it’r
essential sincerity of tone and
expressive beauty. They try ir
vain to cram the rules of correct
English down the throat of the
oeople when they ought to br
teaching them something which
will stand them in good stead
when perilous times come knock¬
ing on their door. We realize the
falsity of these foolish empty
theories, we plainly see through
the continual changing of their
.standards and values. There are
people who have little enough
sense to believe that an over¬
dose of “correct” English will
make a gentleman or a lady out
of them and their brats. They
strangle what scant personality
they inherit by striving to clothe
themselves In this subtle sin
thinking it a magic salve that
will raise them above their fellow
man. They are just bald face
bypocrits. It takes guts of the
right variety to make a person
worth the salt that goes in then-
bread, and “correct English” ha r
not got any thing to do with
it. There appeared an article in
a paper once which stated that
to find the only “correct English
”ir. America you would have to
go into the mountains of North
Carolina where descendants who
came down directly from Eng¬
land nherlted a quaint language.
One word they used was “fetch”.
Very often it has been my ex¬
perience to listen to some dear
friend who could neither read
nor write and their speech and
tonal quality completely charm¬
ed my ear. It was said of Pres.
Roosevelt that he never ffcade
a mistake in writing.I have list-
ned to some of several of his
speeches and what gained my
respect was not his correct gram
mar, but some spirited quality
with which every phrase was
i nriched. It seems indeed an em¬
pty and foolish practice to listen
to any worthy voice to find
h' ther the grammar is perfect.
For thereby you lose the true
.leaning of wTiat you’re listen¬
ing for-it’s impossible to do two
things at once. Only a rattle¬
brain person will put correct
grammar before spirituality
Sincerity and the rare natural
richness that is born not ed¬
ucated into the human makeup.
It is disgusting to see adults go
through life with a min¬
cing artificial air tight lacing
themselves not to make any mis¬
take in their English. I figure
they are missing every thing
that counts and even their best
friends hold them in secret scorn
I guess it’s a blessing such char¬
acters don’t multiply rapidly.
Give me sincerity above every
thing else and Lord keep me
away from such company for
I have despised it ever since I
could remember. %

5:1-5 we learn that they had
died unto sin (as Christ died on
the cross), were buried in bap¬
tism (as Christ was buried in
Joseph’s new tomb), and were
raised up from the watery grave
of baptism as Christ was raised
from the dead by the glory of
the Father). In verse 17 of the

with the assurance that “he
that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved” (Mark 16:15-16).
Surely that is still the way to be
saved from sin. On Pentecost,
Peter preached this gospel for
the first time. Many hearii it.
three thousand accepted it and
vere baptized, the Lord forgiving
their sins and adding them to
the church (Acts 2:47). In II

of Christ. ’’And to you who are

ed with everlasting destruction

The question is asked in Heb.
2:3 “How shall we escape, if we
neglect so great salvation?”
There is no escape if we neglect
the gospel of Christ.
Only in this life time do we
have the opportunity to prepare
for heaven. There will be no
second chance. Luke 16:19-31
tells the story of the rich man
—he had failed in this life to
prepare, and no other chance
was offered him. You will fare
no better than he did if you do
not prepare in this life.
The saddest of all wo.'ds of
tongue or pen are the words, “It
