It's A N uisance, But What To Do
Mayor Conlry Lanham and Die members of
the city council are laced with an embarrassing
ftuation which, far from bcinp solved, appears
to be growing worbe by the day. It is with rela
tion to the disposal of garbage, a matter with
which the present administration and previous
councils have struggled for a number of years.
In the present situation it is not so much a
matter of having a place for disKsal of the town's
refuse; it is a matter of getting the best use out
of the property owned by the ci;y for that purpose.
The location of the tract is such that it is not
acceptable to residents of the neighborhood and
in recent years this has led to more or less friction.
In all justice, no censure is due the neighbors
for their dislike of the dump yard. On the other
hand, the city has a right to use the property and,
according to tjie opinion of attorneys present at
Monday night's session of the council, the right
extends to the roadway leading to the property.
Closing of this roadway in recent weeks has led to
friction between the city and one of the neighbors.
At the same time it has handicapped garbage dis
posal, causing dissatisfaction with the service and
placing the garbage collector in an unfair light.
It is an unpleasant situation and one which the
city council would like to remedy. A canvass has
been made in search of a new location but as yet
nothing has been found that can be obtained for
a price within the city's reach, or that could be
developed satisfactorily. This means that the
present site will have to be used until a suitable
tract can be found. It is not possible to dispose
of garbage here and there. A suitable pi ice has
to be fixed and that will require some time even
after a site is acquired.
At the time the dump ground was put into
operation no one could foresee the eventual
growth of the town and the large volume of waste
the tract is required to handle. It might have
been possible at that time to have acquired an
acre or two more which would have forestalled
the present situation. As it is. the city has the
ground, it has been used since the early '20's and
from present indications it may have to be used
several years longer before a change can be made.
Nagging and placing obstructions will not solve
the problem. That only leads to greater misun
derstanding. Just Who's Doing Too Well?
A current issue of one of the numerous maga
azines coming to the editorial desk contained this
paragraph: 'The labor press is publishing names
of corporation officers who receive more than $75,
000 a year. The corporation executives are sens
itive about it but not sensitive enough to have
their salaries cut below $75,000 where they will
not be exposed to the public glare."
On another page is an article entitled "The
Unions Own a Chunk of Washington," which re
veals tne growth of the unions in recent years
and their descent upon the national capital where ither
they are as deeply intrenched near official circles Pnding a few days there .visiting

quote: 'There was a time when labor unions
rented cobwebby quarters in out-of-the-way build

unions hold other commercial property, concealed

No one will deny the right of the unions to own
their own buildings and strengthen their position,
but they should also scan the payrolls of some of

USDA, Growers, Food Trade Combine To Urge
Use of Country's Most Bountiful Apple Crop
The United States Department
of Agriculture is conducting an
abundant food program on ap
ples, in cooperation with apple
producers and trade groups,
which will reach a peak during
the period between October 27
and November 5.
The apple crop this year is the
largest the country has seen since
well before the war, and the con
certed effort is to move apples
through normal trade channels
so that governmental price sup
port buyng can be held to a mini
mum.
Major stress on apples Is sche

HISTORY OF THE APPLE
Man started early on the Job of
improving the apples he found
growing wild in western Asia and
temperate Europe thousands of
years ago. More than 20 centuries
back, historians show, our an
cestors were familiar with meth
ods of budding and grafting fruit.
It is said that Cato, in the third
century B. C, knew seven differ
ent apple varieties, and that Pli
ny, in the first century A. D. knew
36 different kinds.
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture says that by the time first
settlers were coming to our shores
hundreds of apple varieties were

Some of the ancients had an
interesting way of killing off peo
ple so as to avoid suspicion of
what they were doing. Instead of

but resulting finally in the death
of the victim. The poison was
dropped in doses so small as not
to be apparent in the delectable
contents of the cup from which
the victim drank
That is what is happening to

the double-forked attack on so

No one in his right senses
would accuse Harry Truman and
his cohorts, the socialist-labor
dictatorship of this country, of
deliberately trying to destroy
America.
But Harry Truman's wishful in
tentions and what he is actually
doing, are two very different
things. The poison that is being
administered into the cup' of po
litical promises from which Ame
nca drinks is no less lethal be
cause Harry does not know what
he is doing. It is still poison, and
it is still destroying America. The
death poisons administered with
kindly ignorance are just as fata
as though they were administered
with deliberate malice.
The product and self -consecrat
ed disciple of one of the most
practical and corrupt and vicious
political machines ever known in
our country, a blindly faithful
follower of the political boss who
facetiously made him a United
States Senator, Harry Truman has
never risen to the heights which
enable a man to see past his im
mediate political interests, the
minorities through which he can
control the majorities, and the
temporary benefits of legislative
and political manipulation which
so often cost far more than their
immediate benefits.
Harry Truman is only a symbol
or example of the kind of leader
ing to the October 11 crop report known in European countries.

The newcomers to our eastern
coast brought seeds with them
and, in some cases, grafted trees
of European varieties. Apple trees
were bearing fruit here within a

n public life who places party
and personal power above the
real interests of the people. He
does not know enough of the long
term forces that control the desti
nies of men, to let such knowl
edge interfere with his temporal
and Immediate interests.
Meantime, the poison continues
to drip into the cup the poison
of something for nothing, let the
government do it more and more
welfare for weaker and weaker
people!
Under the guise of what Is call
ed the "Welfare State," the pleas
ant concoction that is poured Into
the cup for America, carries with
it the inescapable poison of grow
ing governmental power and re
sponsibility, the substitution of
federal paternalism for individ
ual self-reliance and growth.
More and more, the indvidual is
relieved of the responsibility and
burden of his own support, which
alone can keep him strong and fit
to be free, and persuaded to ac
cept instead theservices of gov
ernment which finally waste
away his powers and abilities
through disuse.
The final tragedy is that we
pay for our own destruction. Ev-!
ery dollar that the federal gov
ernment gives us in one form or
another, subsidies and what have
you, must finally cost the tax
payers two dollars or more out of
future earnings. It is a bad buy
to have government do wasteful.
ly what we can do much more
economically for ourselves.
England is already learning
that social medicine is costing
the average family more for less
efficient service. In industry after
industry, production goes down
as the government takes over
and, if it were not for the charity
of the United States, the English
Socialist-Labor government would
have fallen by now. We are ac
tually helping to keep alive a
socialist welfare government at
the ultimate cost of destroying
England as a nation.
And, when America, having
dissipated her resources and sap
ped the vitality of her people,
needs the kind of help we are
now giving England, what coun
try in all the world will do for us
what we are doing for the Eng
lish socialists? We are the last of
the countries able to give such
help, and when our turn comes to
ASK HELP there will be none
left to give it.
Except perhaps Uncle Joe, with
his sardonic grin, who can then
take us into the family of slave
nations worshipping the pagan
bones of Karl Marx.
