The oW eaw th»t'“freet oeks from
little eoome grow" ie applicable to
fire proTentloa aa well as to other
mattess. 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.

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

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.
