Missed It Again The Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion sends out periodie statements and reports on the progress of industrial conversion from war to peace manufacture, employment outlook, and various other matters. Last fall there was the prediction, repeated early this year despite continued high employment, that by June of 1946 there would be eight million people hunting jobs. On the basis of this estimate, President Truman demanded increased unemployment compensation and some other legislation to steer the course of the ship of state clear of a tidal wave of recession or depression. The Washington planners missed it again. We are as near to full employment as this country has ever been, and there are jobs for all able and willing to work.

The Census Bureau has just announced that 55,320,000 are now gainfully employed in the United States which is an all-time peak, and there would be more except for the fact that more than a million ex-servicemen are taking a year's vacation in order to draw their $20-a- week unemployment compensation. Something Else To Worry About Fearfully destructive as the atomic bomb is, there is another death-dealing weapon even more so, and unless it is controlled and outlawed it may be used if there should be another great war. 'This new weapon isn't new at It is the old enemy of mankind, the germ and the microbe, and its application to armed conflict goes by the name of "biological warfare." In 1943 it was reported that the Nazis were contemplating an attack on the British islands with biological agents carried in rockets. Thereupon our War Department through its chemical warfare service, and the Navy through Medical Research Unit No. 1 went to work to develop both offensive and defense methods: fighting germs released by an enemy, and ways to spread them most effectively over enemy territory.

Scientists point out that this method of waging war is not only against human beings, but can also be used to destroy growing crops and domestic animals, all forms of life being subject to germ diseases. Indeed the War Department is said to have contemplated destruction last year of the Japanese rice crop by this method. The only drawback to biological warfare is that it is difficult to control spread of diseases unleashed by it. Germs recognize no battle lines. no boundaries, and once an epidemic has been started it may sweep a continent, even the whole world, telling friend and foe alike.

The Fourth Peace Conference The foreign ministers of the victorious "Big Three" are now meeting for the fourth time to work out a permanent peace settlement for Europe, and from what has gone before we may be certain that it won't be the last. No one knows how many more conferences it 11 require to write finis to World War II. It is true that all of the meetings thus far have been brief. whereas in contrast the Versailles conference took up more than five months and was a continuons wrangle among representatives of the big powers among themselves and with those of smaller nations. some of them not yet created, before the final draft was written.

and students of history are agreed that it was far from a model peace. In fact some of them have called it merely a truce between two 1 world wars. Still, as the months went by in 1919, a pattern emerged based upon President Wilson's fourteen points. with such alterations as were necessary to appease contenders for grabs here and there. but there was a give-and-take spirit which made agreement poss1ble and which has been entirely lacking at the London meeting last September, at the Moscow conference in December and at Paris last April.

What the second Paris meeting will bring is stril problematical. for although Molotov has agreed to discuss the Austrian problem in principle, there is no assurance that the terms he can offer will be acceptable to the other powers. While the foreign ministers are now in their fourth session, their deputies have been meeting almost continuously since the Big Three conference at Potsdam. More than a year has gone by since fighting ceased in Europe, and the stubborn ness of one of the conferees still prevents formulation of even a rough plan upon which a peace can be based. For A Clean City Beginning next week there will be two weekly garbage, collections in Statesville, made possible by the arrival of a new dump truck.

The City Sanitary Department is now about to do its part in communal good housekeeping and it becomes the duty of the citizens to co-operate to full extent in keeping their neighborhoods clean and sightly. City regulations require storage of garbage in covered metal containers, which should be kept on premises of property owners. The grass plots between sidewalks and curbs are city property, and no one has a right to use them as garbage dumps. Cans and garbage should be deodorized and treated to hold down insect pests and the stench of decomposition. Vacant lots should be kept free of weeds and brush, and stagnant pools drained or filled in to destroy mosquito larva.

These are a few things we can and must do in the interest of cleanliness, sanitation and health. The majority of citizens will comply willingly. If there some who refuse, ways must be found to make them conform. Cool Spring News The Home Demonstration club met Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. C.
