THE NEWBERRY SUN
FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 14. 1947
Smart Lines Characterize New Chevrolet
Re-ityled for the new year, with emphasis on a more
massive tront end and a smoother sweep to body contours,
the new Chevrolet will soon make its debut. New front-end
grille and complementing bright work, as well as elimina
tion of the body belt molding, have done much to give
the new model an air of greater luxuriousness.
Tremendous Seed
Crop This Year
Nature offers man a golden op
portunity this year to reforest cut
over forest land and abandoned
farm land free of charge.
Pine trees all over the state pro
duced a bumper crop of pine cones
this year. If given a chance each
cone can produce fifty or more
seedlings.
Don’t let fire destroy this seed.
The spring fire season is just around
the corner so start right now being
careful with your matches and cig
arettes. Plow around your brush
piles before you start burning and
don’t leave them till they are out.
Notify your county ranger when
you intend to start burning and
give him a hand when he calls for
your help. Your ranger and war
dens are trying to help you protect
nature’s gift.

First Cal very Taking Recruits
The 1st Calvary Division, one of
six famed Pacific units now open to
direct enlistments for three-year
volunteers, is a mechanized outfit
doing occupation duty in Japan.
Known as “Calvary Troopers,” men
of the 1st were the first to enter
both Manila and Tokyo. Earlier,
they fought one of the wildest
battles of the Pacific war, captur
ing the important Momote airstrip
on Los Negros in the Admiralty
Islands and then holding it against
wave after wave of counter-attack
ing, hysterical Imperial Japanese
Marines.

Monopolism
/ By GEORGE S.BENSON
ftasidant of Harding Oollego
Soaicy. Arkansas
' ea
NORWAY has little government-
managed industry, as such. The
only things wholly owned and op
erated by the government are the
post office, telephone, telegraph,
electric power, and railroads.
There seems to be no agitation
for extension of government own
ership and management. la fact
some leaders feel the trend is in
the other direction and that the
government has shown no ability
to provide efficient service.
However, cooperatives are nu
merous in Norway. Entirely dif
ferent from government manage
ment, they nevertheless control
the buying and selling of almost
everything and are monopolistic
in nature. The effective organiza
tions of the co-ops, while indi
vidually owned, have been used in
some instances for extension of
government control. Subsidies
have been offered to farmers co
operatives in an effort to please
everybody: the producers with
higher prices and the purchasers
with low prices.
Wait ’Til THE COMPLETE-
You’re Old NESS of the co
operative monopoly
may be seen in the association of
drug store operators, to which all
operators belong. To open a new
drug store a man would first have
to become a member of the asso
ciation and get its approval, after
which he would appeal to the gov
ernment which could never grant
a license unless the applicant
were admitted to the association.
•
Drug store operators admit no
new members except at their own
pleasure, and then seldom except
to replace a member who has
died. I was told that an aspirant
to the drug industry can seldom
be admitted to the association and
obtain permission to operate his
own store before he is 45 years
old.
Plenty of UNDER the right
Frontiers kind of economic cli
mate, the Norwegian
people could raise their standard
of living. And this right climate
Communism can never provide.
Norway <’ )es not lack for fron
tiers. Their farms produce as
many bushels of grain per acre
as our farms. The fishing waters
of Norway are not surpassed.
Possibilities for electric power
are the best in the world. Manu
facturing and lumbering offer
only the ordinary difficulties. The
country is not Vver populated.
Yet their standard of living is
not more than half as high as
that,in America.
When forward looking Norwe
gians try to modernize an indus
try, they are met squarely with
the deadening hand of monopoly,
either private or public. If one
fishing company manages to find
a way to sell its products at a
good price, while another com
pany exports its fish to Europe
for a lower price, the former com
pany pays a tax which goes to
the second company for the sake
of equalization.
This policy invariably discour
ages excellence and tends to
mediocrity. A premium is thus
placed on inefficiency and on fail
ure to make money. But a realis
tic incentive system, based upon
honest competition throughout,
could soon make little Norway
one of the most prosperous smaP
nations in the world.
