The article argues against moving to a 35 or 30 hour week amid wartime economic emergency. It stresses that greater production and feeding a hungry world take precedence, and that forty hours remains a fair target for workers during this period. It questions fairness for those unwilling to work longer hours.
The editorial argues state highway commissioners are chosen for political support, not road expertise, but defends politics as the backbone of democracy. It cites Governor Cherry and lists respected figures like Charles Cannon and Capus Waynick, asserting commissions have shown ability and integrity over decades. It calls for more of that politics in North Carolina.
Governor Gregg Cherry earns praise for stepping in to broker a settlement at Erwin mills after long negotiations. He deflects credit, while capitol square sentiment lauds his intervention. The mills will reopen once required physical adjustments are completed as talks yielded a fragile accord.
The column blames a longoperator for a mistaken column about candidates in the congress race. Col. Lukl Martin is the only suggested candidate for one district while Karte Rives was inadvertently left out in the sixth district. The Greensboro lawyer is noted for long service.
A flurry in the eighth district as W O Burgin announces he will not run in the May primary. Horner W E Bill Horner leads the field after canvassing the district while John Lang of Carthage is viewed as a longtime contender. Other hopefuls are anticipated as weekend talks shift the race.
The eighth district, described as wildly shaped, stretches from Scotland county in the coastal plain through the sandhills and piedmont to Wilkes near Tennessee and Virginia. Despite Lee county’s extreme corner location, the district’s odd shape makes many areas reachable as if near the center.
Thurman Sensing argues that economic factors push southern youth to seek fortunes elsewhere. Citing the 1940 census he notes the south has about one million more females than males, while the nation shows more males overall, and highlights the south’s higher birthrate and youthful population.
The speaker argues that after years of reconstruction the South now offers strong material opportunities, resources, and capital. It promises personal value and community spirit, urging young men to remain in the region rather than migrate to other areas for economic gain.
The article argues crime, especially among youth, rose after war and requires preemptive agency planning. It cites Leonard Probst on probation versus parole, noting probation acts before confinement and both aim at protecting society while rehabilitating the offender.
The essay argues probation should identify causes of crime and rehabilitate offenders without prison, noting juvenile crimes stem from wild impulses or weak moral grounding. It criticizes New York’s fragmented probation system, urging modernization and depoliticization to build character and protect society.
The executive order aims to extend wage and price controls beyond wartime needs. It envisions a general wage rise, price boosts to restore prewar profits, and government oversight of material supplies and profits. Wages could rise 15 to 22 cents an hour in some industries, with broader increases tied to inflation concerns and industry returns.
The piece outlines a wartime style price and wage control shift to a profit ceiling pegged to prewar purchasing power. It argues this third law would crack the income of business, moving beyond general ceilings to target each profit figure. A follow up will test feasibility.
The article reports Democratic leaders Hanneg an and Truman optimistic about 1948 prospects despite current political strife. It highlights expected large consumer savings, a planned $25 billion in expenditures before the election, and hopes for peacetime production gains by November. It notes congressional fights over maritime appointments and the influence of trusted aides in the administration.
