CLINTON, S. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1941
Back To School
It’s the hard truth for boys and
girls, but vacation is over and dur
ing this month more than thirty mil
lion children will flock back to the
public schools, besides the great num
ber who will go to church and pri
vate schools of all kinds. These thirty
million promising youngsters are
soon to take the places of as many
oldsters in a few years. This means
that the future of the United States
of America lies largely in the hands
of these boys and girls. It is there
fore of the highest importance to give
attention'to what they are taught in
school and to the men and women
responsible for their training. It is
fortunate that the fxmdamental vir
tues of honesty, industry and per
sonal good character are still incul-
by man . . . Never forget”^ that
the holiest right in this world is
the right to own land . . . and
the holiest sacrifice the blood one
spills to get this land.”
That philosophy expressed by the
German ruler in “Mein Kampf,”
plunged Europe into war two years
ago.
“I have put on my old soldier’s
coat, and I will not take it oft
until we achieve victory . . .
November of 1918 shall never be
repeated in the history of Ger
many.”
It was in Berlin’s opera house that
the Fuehrer spoke those historic
words as his hearers burst into ap-
cause airplanes, tanks, guns, etc., are
needed by America to defend its
^freedom, and are made from the
same raw materials as washing ma
chines, automobiles and similar ar
ticles. The argument is that by mak
ing it more difficult for people to
purchase such consumer goods, less
of them will be sold. As a result, the
'materials and labor that would be
used to produce them can be divert
ed to urgent defense production.
There is this other added factor to
.be considered — doing without those
{articles will create a demand for
theni when the defense program is
over. In that way fac^ries will be
I given something to manufacture
when they stop making armaments
and jobs will 1m protected.
Sound credit has been a far more
important factor in the commercial
ahd geographical develojKnent of this
nation than most of lu realize. And
it will continue to be a vital pro
gressive if the whee^ of business are
to be kept moving.
The puTQpses of the board’s order
are worthwhile if they work. Though
they may be expected to cause in
convenience, they will be accepted
by the public which is willing to do
its bit for the defense program.
The federal government is ^calling
upon the public to adopt an opposite
practice to that which it has been pur
suing for the past eight years. We
have been incessantly told to buy, to is done
spend and spend to swell the nation
al income and ther^y increase the
nation’s tax revenue. The- govern
ment is borrowing and spending and
wasting for every conceivable pro
ject, with the sky as the limit. Now,
