A little care can prerent great conpagrations. As an example of this, a large merchandising srstem has adopted the policjr of collecting dally all trash which is not immediately disposable ai^ placing it nnder an automatic sprinkler system in the store base* ment This has prerented at least three fires daring the past year. . Pire prerention is as much a duty of the householder and the small busi ness as of the great Industry. During 'the war years, most property has de preciated from lack of maintenance— and the fire danger has increased ac cordingly. If a home or a business is destroyed, the cost of replacing it is two or more times as much as in 1941—and in many instances, suf ficient labor and materials are not available even if cost is no object. Last, and most important, every fire brings with it the risk of loss of life —as the recent hotel disasters so ho^ rlbly demonstrated. Such hasards as accumulated trash, Inadequately insulated heating sys- tMas, worn, exposed electric wiring and faulty cooking equipment aiw re sponsible for a high proportion of fires in homes. All of these hi^rds can be corrected. And this is litMwUy a case where tomorrow may be too late to effect the needed repairs. Newspaper misprint from a Georgia paper: "Mr. and Mrs. J. J.

THE ROAD TO WAR According to a recent nation-wide survey, 62 per cent of the American people now believe that we will have another world war within 26 years. Only 24 per cent believe that we will have a lasting pqace. By comparison, three years ago, when the last war was at its height, 47 per cent oPnbe people felt that a lasting peace was probable, and only 43 per cent wfere convinced of the inevitability of an other war. The diminishing faith of the Ameri can people in man’s ability to prevent wholesale murder and destruction on an incredible scale is in itself a ter rible commentary on the state of the world. Its origins are obvious enough. We have watched the failure ^f the United Nations Security CouncbMo arrive at workable agreements. We have seen the trend back to the old balance of power policies which did so much to foment World Wars I and II. Wer have seen the rights of small nations destroyed and the voices of dissenters violently stilled. We have seen authorities pessimistically fore cast that the world may break down into two great opposed spheres 6f In- ftuence, led by the Soviet Union on one side and the United States on the other. The challenge this offers to all the natlona of the world Is the greatest they have ever faced. For, should war come again, it could very well end on ly in the death of civilisation as we know It. The atomic bomb is in its Infancy, and the "Improved" bombs of the future, compared to those of today, will be like a 1947 car beside the primitive vehicles that appeared forty-odd years ago. Other weapons of unimaginable scope and destruct Ive power, are in the experimental stage. It is perfectly possible that this kind of scientific progress, once unleashed for - war, may mean the ruin of aULmaajgnd. What nation wants this? What government, no matter how greafly it distrusts its neighbors, will assume the awful responsibility for another war? What differences are so import- that they cannot be reconciled In the interest of a lasting peace? The very THE FEORLB FAY ALL THB COffTt Despite maAy Dmarias tw tiU siii»- trary, the Seattle Times t^wsrres, "‘The government of a nation Is wholly dependent upon the people for financial support .... Goremment produces nothing. FWple pay thq costs of their government — all the costs." The Times describes the enormous inroads made by government into the pocketbooks of the people. In the early days, the government found suf ficient support in indirect taxation— the "dies, imports and excises" speci fied by the constitution. Then came direct taxation in the form of the in come tax, with its steadily ascending rates. After that came the withholding tax idea—nnder which a certain pro portion of each worker’s wehkly or monthly pay check is paid into the federal treasury to Support some ser vice or other. The social security law which, as the Times says, is based on the premise that "aU the people were too unthrifty to provide for their own Welfare and old age," is the prise example of this. Now the country is threatened with one more bite in the form of the pro posed, compulsory nsttonal health hill, generall known as the Wagner- Murray-Dangell bill.' To quote the Times again, “The President, some members of congress and some gov ernment agencies have decided that the people, as a whole, are unable to take care of their health, and govern ments must do It for them .... “After the health bill, the logical succession of laws must be for more pay roll withholding to provide the balanced diet, the proper apparel, and the right kind of homes for all the people—ell to be prescribed by gov ernment "What the government may try to do from there on is anybody’s* guess; but the safest guess is that by that time there will be nothing more of earned income to withhold." If the American people are at last i^dy to admit that they are com pletely incapable of caring for them selves, and for their own de cisions as free agents, government J. 8. HHfiORMR Warns Motorists About Acdidwits If you have worked hard all through the war years and you’re looking for ward this August to the first real lelaxatloa in a long, long time, how would you like to spend a pain^ack- ed vacation in a hospital? J. 8. litniamson, chief highway commissioner, pointed out yesterday that many South Carolinians will be spending time in hospitals during August, the most popular month for vacations, suffering from painful and serious injuries received in pff-the-Job traffic accidenU, Jf the present trend toward more and more highway smashups is not checked. August last year, 28 motor ists d^thla state were killed and 160 tragedies. And during ^ same month of 1941, the peak year for highway crack ups and comparable to 1946 so far, the total stood at 42 killed and 276 injured. Our motorists must realise that when they head out on the open road, in a happy, holiday mood, dan gers will be lying in wait along their entire route, the commissioner em phasized, and gave the following ad vice. If you’re headed for the beach you will be travrtlBg for Ore most part, over straight, level roads. You may be lulled into a false sense of se curity. You may have the urge to step on the gas ahid cover ground, feeling that no danger could lurk on such a road. Don’t be fooled! Seventy-five per cent of our accidents last year occurred on straight, level highways. Be ready for any emergency. Watch the road signs, slowdown when ap- existence of every being, whether he be Russian or American, Pole or Greek, Indian or Briton, depends up on the answers given to these tre mendous questions. will of course step in and ordw our lives. And, if the American people acept that premise, everything the country stood for, everything that made the country great—private op portunity and personal liberty—^is ir retrievably gone.
