Speaking of gas, the Catfish Club
of Kirven produces the kind that
burns and explodes. Mr. Adams and
Mr. Marberry drew a bucket of water
out of the well just back of the Cat-
fish bench at the filling station the
other Sunday and detected the smell
of gas on the bucket, so they struck
a match and the bucket caught on
fire; then they decided to let the
bucket down in the well to put it out,
and behold, the well blew up, knock-
ing both of them down and burning
them slightly and throwing the top of
the well about 10 feet. Now if any
of you Fairfield Catfish or other
doubting Thomases doubt this, just
drive over and drop a match into the
well and see what you will see.
A nice shower would be appreciated
in this community. Not many of
our farmers have enough moisture to
bring up their cotton. It seems that
it is hard to get everything just like
everybody wants it, but that does not
seem to bother the weather man, as
he just continues to dish out the
weather, and we just continue to re-
ceive it. So far even the long haired
professors, or the New Deal has not
been able to do anything about this,
but we are expecting an order from
the White House most any time re-
straining the weather from doing
certain things.
There was a time in this country
when people believed that the only
wwr.tft accumulate ami.get ahead was
to work hard and economize; but,
alas, we have outgrown this doctrine.
Powerful forces are working to bring
about state socialism in this country,
under guise of “Planned Economy.”
An ever increasing stream of propa-
ganda informs us that if we are to
have “individual security” the Gov-
ernment must become more powerful,
mere responsible for the welfare of
the individual with respect to food,
shelter, medical care, old age, unem-
ployment; but not a word about the
liberties we must sacrifice to get such
security. Yet we have the warning
of Benjamin Franklin who said,
“They that give up essential liberty
to obtain a little temporary safety de-
serves neither liberty nor safety."
History proves conclusively that
the stronger government becomes the
more power it possesses to regulate
the every day life of its citizens.
“Regimentation” is the word we
have for this. Under it we cannot
have free enterprise, free industry,
free agriculture, or free labor. These
things don’t exist in state socialism
and we need not kid ourselves for we
are certainly traveling in that direc-
tion, and if we do not make some
drastic changes in Washington we
will reach this goal in a very short
time. I know we have those among
us who say that our system of free |
enterprise has failed. If this is so, if j
communism or socialism are the only
workable systems remaining, why is
it that capitalistic United States is
being called upon for billions of dol-
lars to bail out socialism in England
and communism in Russia? The
whole thing just doesn’t make sense.
| Yet the American people are sitting
| down with their hands folded and do-
[ ing nothing to prevent this from hap-
I pening. The democratic name does
I not mean that we have a democratic
I government. It is not the name but
| the principles that makes democracy.
