TRUE TO OURSELVES, OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR GOD. ForlvvTIl hed June 5,1902 McCOftMTCK, S. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1944 Number 21 k G.

Although the War Labor Board wS* not set up to be a policy making group, it is difficult to understand why they listened to thousands of words of testimony on this quesuba if .they didn’t intend to make suggestion's. But when the long>awaited decision was finally made it consisted simply of a rese at a.ACent meeting of government and iMttitity cAcials teems to be xneetihfc WHh the greatest favor.

But it was empha sized that, to keep Germany under • Control, it would be necessary for the Allies actually to operate these , Industries indefinitely and not just . have a plan for inspecting their ac- . tivities. In addition to control of these industries, the plan also calls for control over toe distribution of Important metals so that the Allies i would permit their use only when they approved the purpose for which . they were to be used. Of course this is only one of doz ens of plans which have been sug gested. But at present some plan lor controlling German industry, Jrather than making Germany en- I jr an agricultural country, as osed by Secretary Morgenthau, is to be the, general aim. How- , although the Morgenthau plan met with little encouragement , it is possible that it Will be ^Bosvuraged by Great Britain and teflon which stated: bdard is not sufficiently in formed as to toe possible effects of a modification of the Little Strri formula on the price structure on the national economy genera bv to warrant any assurance that any modification could be made cons s- tent with the stabilization needs of the country.” As a result of this resolution, the Board has passed the buck to the President. The President has the power to break the Little Steel for mula, and approve higher wages, but it is doubtful if he will give it any further consideration until aft er election. It is also not clear, at present, what tactics labor will now take in working for increased wages. The labor members of the War La bor Board strongly opposed the res olution which the Board passed, but were over-ruled. It is now prob able that labor leaders will put pres sure on the President to increase the wage scale and will thereafter not bother with the WLB in seeking increases. ‘The way farmers save their I after sixty days from issue, they can- be redeemed at fixed cash time prices will in a large measure determine the prosperity of agri- 1 cul ure for the next generation.

Give To The War Fund Drive Now The War Futid Drive for $2,600 is now on in McCormick County. That sounds so little to ask for, when we stop to think of all that is being asked of Our fighting men and women. It is a little, but wo haven’t come near to raising it yet! We need to stop and think! And when we think we will thank God - _ for the privilege of shar ing in the war relief effort _ _ and we’ll give cheerfully—not a mere pittance, in comparison with our income, but a gift we won’t be ashamed of. Please don’t wait for a solicitor to come to you. Carry your gifts now to one of the com mittee members. X— Mt. Carmel News HOLLYWOOD THEATRE McCORMICK, S.
