PAGE FOUR Hear Ex-Gov. Morrison Sp^ak at COURTHOUSE TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, at 1:15 P.M. LADIES ESPECIALLY INVITED. J James W. Gerard will never get women’s votes —saying that men run the country. <$ —- The height of insult i« a fly a lighting on the handle of the swat ter. 0 . No vacation for Mr. Hoover in 1931. His time wil be taken up hearing reports of his commissions. <y Ain’t nature grand! Winter will ** stop the tree and flagpole sitters. -ft The jack of all trades is the dollar. ® America will be all right so long as liberty-loving does not turn to law-hating. Too many people boost their town with a boot. Financial experts tell us that there are better times ahead, but all signs say “Detour”. Who’s going to take care of all these master minds in tneir old age? $ Married Use as a give and take proposition is all right provided the account is mutual and neither spouse seeks to balance it. Do your Christmas saving early and the shopping will take care of itself. $ President Hoover has appointed a commission to investigate the prob lems of home ownership, with a view to the “removal of the influences which seriously limit the spread of home ownership, in both town and country.” If the commission really wants to accomplish any thing it should recommend such moves as shutting down the auto mobile and radio factories, closing 'the beauty shops and minature golf courses and bringing back the good old five-cent hamburger with all the trimmings. If all of the farmers in this country were laid end to end they wouldn’t be in much worse shape than they are right now. Regardless of his yachts, Sir Thomas Lipton is never the loser so as Americans continue to drink his tea. With the colleges and universities filling up, there seems to be no serious unemployment problem among the educators. The real un employment will come when their students are graduated. 1 “RIGHT TENDENCIES” (From The Hamlet News-Messenger) Sometimes when one is in clined to be discouraged and thinks that the evil in the world is over-balancing the good, it is well to recount the tendencies toward right think ing and right living in modern life. Os course, no institution however fundamentally right in its objects can function 100 per cent. But in the main the purposes of better citizenship are attained. Let us recall here a few of these tenden cies about which we believe one should take an optimistic view. The church comes first, even if not in doctrinal agree ment, certainly in moral en deavors for the right. The public and private schools, while academic, surely do lead the children and young people into higher ideals and standards of liv ing. This is true because ed ucation- itself has as its ulti mate aim and the building of 1 good citizenship. The majority of books and plays have their “moral”; and while we hold no brief for some of them, the intent of the authors must be admitted. In every day life in the community, in commercial transactions, in the administra tion of justice, in the spirit of the game and in all of our dealings with you th the spirit of fair play, intergrity, and ambition are noticeable. At least, we would rather look for the good than the bad in the many transactions of life. As a matter of fact, whatever bad there is in life necessarily must be overcome by the good. No citizen and no community can afford to stand idly by and permit the violation of law, and bad moral influences and all other tendencies that detract from human happiness without rais ing a voice of protest, and actively participating in the ' stamping out of such wrong 1 tendencies. We hold this truth to be • self evident, that if we fill ■ our lives and our communities with the true and the good i there will be no room for the » false and the bad. “CAVEAT * EMPTOR” l —— Angelo Patri famous cHild , psychologist is reported to have paid out good money for some gondolas to operate on j a California desert. Mr. Patri, • so well versed in child-life certainly must have been the 1 victim of an expensive joke. ® t The real problem of the un : employed is that they can not eat until they work, and they . can not work until they eat. There are many kinds of depression, but right now the ? pedestrian seems the hardest ; hit. <s> We wonder how many of r Gerard’s sixty-four men who s run the country Doc Osier would have had put to death . at fifty ? The fourth dimension is da > mention of Mussolini. I ft BUSINESS PICKING UP 1 ;—ft (From The Hamlet News-Messenger) There is considerable evi : dence throughout the country on which to base the belief | that business conditions will get better as winter approach es. Economic influences on > trade can be augmented quite r materially bv human optim ' ism, IF THAT OPTIMISM IS MADE REAL BY HARD ■ WORK. The other day a fellow rode a motorcycle through a bill i board. The best part of that i stunt is that there is now one 1 less billboard. CASH IN ON AN OPPORTUNITY (From The Charlotte Observer) A Splendid example of a com munity making the most of op portunities that lie right at their door, is revealed in a survey which has just been made by The Times- N ews, of Hendersonville, of what the new canning industry is doing for the farmers of Henderson county and, indirectly, for the city of Hendersonville. Three -years ago a cannery of considerable ca pacity was established there, through the joint activity of the Henderson ville Farm Bureau and the busi ness men of Hendersonville. During the season which is now nearing ! its close this cannery has recorded the largest business it has ever 1 done up to date, and two additional 1 ! smaller canneries have been estab -1 ’ lished in the county. j The survey by The Times-News revealed that $470 a day is being , turned loose among the farmers of Henderson county for vegetables and fruits for canning. It is’ con servatively estimated that the three cannieries will turn out during the present season 6,000 cases, 24 cans each, of vegetables, berries and | fruits, including 2,400 cases of can ned beans, and 3,000 cases of to : mat-oes. Here is a significant thing: Man ager George E. Evans of the Hender son county Cannery, has turned , j down tVo orders for every one he has been able to fill during the . present season, and it is said that l during the past two years the can nery could have sold 10 times as • many tomatoes as it had available. Some small cities and communi ■ ties are sometimes disposed to be-^ wail that fact that they are not] able to attract great industries, j Industrial experts and economists ! who have given thought to the mat- 1 ter are practically unanimous in ] the opinion that the small city or ; town or rural community, rela- j tively, is at no advantage as com- , pared to the larger City in the mat ter of industrial progress. Hender sonville is not a small town, but the canning success which has been made there might just as well have been made at any one of a hundred ( or more towns in North Carolina with a population of a few score -or a few hundred people—any com munity in fact that has adjacent to it a rural community of intel ligent, N industrious farmers. Not only in canning but in other fields there are opportunities at the door of practically every city and in ! North Carolina regardless of size. THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO, N. C. 1 My favorite Stories Examples of Higher CriAiciem WHENEVER actors gpt tegetj&er it is almost inevitable that shen er or later Hie sutqeet of dramatic criticism will come up and that some one present will quote a notice far,oc aftle or unfavorable —but generally fa vorable—hmchi-pg on his (\jyiT work. No symposium of tins sort is com plete without reference to the instance of tact displayed in print by a local reporter on a certain historic occasion in a small mid(He-\\;estero city when ambitious nonprofessionals gave a classic drama. The newspaper man who'had been detailed to cover the performance was wishful to avoid giv ing offense to the members of the cast yet, in honesty, he could say nothing complimentary. So he merely wrote this: “Fdr the benefit of the new hospi tal fund, our leading amateurs pre sented ‘Lady Audley’s Secret’ at the theater last night before a large audi ence of our best townspeople. The orchestra rendered several pleasing selections and the acoustics of the hall were never better;” Then there is the famous criticism done by an editor in Rising Sun, Ind., when a certain native-born prodigy essayed the role of the melancholy Dane. The criticism ran something like this: ‘‘Among scholars there has long been a dispute as to whether the works attributed to Shakespeare were writ ten by Shakespeare or by Bacon. The editor of this paper has hit upon a satisfactory way of settling far all time Miis ancient question. Let the tombs of both he opened. The one who turned over in his grave last oight was the author of Hamlet!” I am reminded also of what Kin Hubbard, better known as “Abe Mar tin.” had to say years ago otf acer tain theatrical entertainment. For brevity and yet for completeness J think it would be bard to bent this: “Al Jeffrey’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin company played at the opera house last night. The Siberian bloodhound was badly supported.” Hap Ward, the comedian, furnishes one from his own experience: ‘‘We were playing a one-night stand in Oregon,” said Hap. ‘‘On the morn ing following' the performance I found a notice of our s. ow on the front page of the town paper. The opening sen tence was promising—l smiled to my self as I saw it. For it read as follows: “‘Ward and Yokes in their new play, ns given here last night, were not half bad.’ “Then I read the second sentence and quit smiling. “‘On the contrary, they were all bad!’ ” (© bv rhe McNaught Syndicate. Inc.) TOO MUCH TO DO (From The Hamlet News-Messenger) Have you tried to call a meeting' ‘lately? If so, you know the difficulty in getting a n attendance, unless the meeting was an established one. Even then, there have been so many attractions and distractions that all meetings have suffered some what in attendance. The competition between meetings has contributed its full share toward this malady of non-attendance. The radio and the automobile have had their part. One argument against formation of new or ganizations is the fact that there are now too many foj; the good of all. This argu ment holds good only as it is proved that the existing are not function ing for any good purpose, or that their objects may be ob tained and their purpose ful filled through some other ave- ; nue of endeavor. J ( There are more things to do and more places to go, but there are also more people to do these " things and more people to go these placets. Modern inventions have made possible more efficient trans portation and better facilities generally for doing the things that contribute to human wel fare. m\f\ , The factor of commercial attraction enters into the pro blem. Theatres, minature golf courses, baseball and football get people out of their ac customed channels.

If the form of play is not wholesome, continued work is more so. There may be too much to do, but the pro cess seems to be the survival of the best attended, no mat ter what the interest or at traction. —MORE ABOUT— COUNTIES CONSOLIDATING STARTS ON PAGE ONE of Senator Patterson, looking into recent Democratic Senatorial pri mary. Both Democrats and Republi cans, some of them, say that it is nothing but a political move or a fiasco, and all are confident that nothing indicating excessive cam paign expenditures wil be dis covered or opened up. Both Senator F. M. Simmons and his successful oponent, Josiah Wil liam Bailey, in their sworn state ments, showed that they had stayed within the SIO,OOO limit of cam paign expenditures for the Senator ia nomination, and little else is ex- ! pected to be discovered by the in- J vestigators. Both of the candidates and their headquarters were worried because they could not get or supply ] the funds their workers demanded ( during the campaign.

'-v ' . ■■ ■ , Photos from Wide World Ph oto , NEW BRITISH AUTO EMBODIES AIRSHIP FEATURES London, Eng.—A revolutionary new automobile shaped like an air ship and capable of greater speed as a sedan seating seven than as - stripped chassis, was recently demonstrated in London by its invented Sir Dennis Burney, designer and builder of the giant English ab\*h ’ R-100. In appearance the “Burney streamline,” as the new car is called suggests, the airship with low front, sloping windshield, crescent curved top and long, tapering end, extending far beyond the rear wheels. Another innovation is th* engine at the rear, which efennimates noise, heat and fumes while driving. Sir Dennis asserts that if the car could reach ig* miles an hour it wouild actually rise in the air oving to its streamlining It is a straight ejght, of twevle-two horsepower and is eapable of 90 miles an hour. Smooth riding fe assured by having each wheel independently sprung. \ Photo shows a broadside view of the new airship model car. board, some including later the com missioners, to force them t® provide the number of teachers allowed by the State schedule. Judge W. A. Devin, who probably would have held that the commissioners should furnish the state minimum of teach ers, held that the education board acted properly in making the cut.
