The Crime Wave
The Joui-nal-Patriot wishes to^be among
the first to give full endoi-seraent to the
mass meeting of citizens of Wilkes county i
which will be held at the courthouse in j
Wilkesboro Sunday afternoon. The purpose
of the meeting is two-fold, according to the
high officials who have been chosen to lead
in promoting it.
First, ways and means of combatting the
crime wave in Wilkes county are to be dis
cussed. And second, plans for some kind of
an educational campaign in the interest of
law observance are to be considered. The
permanent success of the movement lies in
what steps are taken regarding the latter
pui-pose-
If the crime wave is to be combatted suc
cessfully, the people must have instilled in
them a greater respect for law observance.
If the mass meeting can start something
looking to that end, it will have served nobly.
The Journal-Patriot is convinced that
there is nothing lax or ineffectual in the en
forcement of the laws. We are confident
that our municipal and county officers and
federal officers operating in Wilkes have
made a record in catching guilty persons
Whatever else the recent legislature may have | that equals the average • record elsewhere.

officers.
Neither do we believe that prosecution of
criminals has been lacking in force an^

Judging from the swimming carnival, the rial after the ciime has been committed. If
children not only were taught to protect 1 society is safeguarded, steps must be taken
themselves in the water, but they learned to j to prevent the crimes
help in saving the lives of others if their
services should be needed. How many lives
may be saved through this knowledge will
not, of course, be known.
Messrs. Adams and Klundt are splendid
young men and we recommend them to any j
town or city which may be asked to sponsor
a swimming course such as they conducted
here.
That is the pui-pose
of the mass meeting and we sincerely trust
that it will be productive of good results.
Borrowed Comment
t A Real Service
Upon the success of her efforts to land
the convention of the North Carolina branch
of the National League of District Post
masters for North Wilkesboro, Mrs. Mattie
F. Greer, Boomer postmistress, is to be
congratulated-
In securing this convention for 1934, Mrs.
Greer has set an example for delegates to
other conventions of various kinds. It should
be the goal of North Wilkesboro’s represen
tatives to bring back with them the con
vention for next year.
Certainly it does no haim to extend an in
vitation and The Journal-Patriot hopes that
many other delegates will l>e as successful as
Mrs. Greer.
Mrs. Greer has rendered a real service
both in performance and example and we
extend a vote of thanks on behalf of
citizens of North Wilkesboro-

AGENTS
(Caldwell Record)
We are willing to concede that in these times
everyone has a right to do any kind of honest work'
that will bring in a coimpetence. We want to be
courteous to anyone with whom we come in con
tact. but the hardest person with whom we have
to deal is the high pressure salesman who is sell
ing something we do not want, cannot afford, and
for which we have no earthly use.
Such a salesman came into this office recently.
Some one, who had no intention of doing us an
injury, told the agent who was selling a set of
books what our hobby is and the number and age
of our children. Thus equipped, she came in. It
was press day, a dozen things were requiring our
attention, and time was at a premium. We told
her this, and told her that we could not spare, the
time to look over her books and had no money
with which to buy them.
”Do you mean to tell me?” she asked, ’’that
you will not give ten cents a day to the education
of your little children?”
We told her we devoted most of our time and
money to that laudable purpose, but reserved the
right to select for the children the books and ma
terial best suited to them. The remark was a
mistake. She quoted a dozen authorities high in
the educational world who had said that no chil
dren the age of ours could receive proper training
without just this set of boks. Presumably they
would replace the -dictionary, Grimm’s Faary
Tales, the Hible, Shakespeare and the catechism.
Then we told her that perhaps we would be in
in the business world and indications are 1 a position to buy books later. It seems that
i hich have already I chance a dlstresssd public is going
11 to have to buy this particular set. We regretted
this, but our regret could not be coined into the
I si,\ty-odd dollars with vhich to purchase them.
Convinced that we had no regard for the wel-
that commodity prices, w
advanced, will continue to rise. Coupled,
with that is the certainty that the three;
per cent sales tax will be added on all mer
chandise sold in North Carolina after July
1st.
With this as a basis, it is evident that

Washington, June 13.—Beat
ing down a triple-threat opposi
tion, senate administration forces
today put the final stamp of con
gressional approval upon the In
dustrial revival bill and sent that
king pin of President Roosevelt’s
plan on its way to the White
House.
The vote was comparatively
clo.se, 46 to 39, but It was enough
to overcome a combination of in
dependent Republicans and regu
lars from both parties, who had
seen their favorite amendments
greatly changed in conference
without any help from the senate
conferees. The senate passed the
bill originally by 57 to 24.
Taking the floor just before
the seven-vote victory margin
was announced by Vice President
Garner, Chairman -Harrison, ot |
of the senate conferees, defended j
the finance committee, and head
the bill a.gainst an all-day on
slaught He asserted the conferees
’’tried to carry out in good faith

were prejudiced and made no
real effort to retain amendments
for full publicity of income tax
returns, prohibitions against
price-fixing and combinations in
restraint of trade, and removal
of tax exemptions from govern
ment securitietl
On the final vote administra
tion leaders lost all the Republi
can progressives and many Dem
ocrats who voted last Friday for
the bill. In all, 23 Republicans,
15 Democrats and Shipstead,
Farmer-Laborite, Minnesota, vot
ed against adoption of the re
port.
However, five Republican regu
lars and near regulars—Barbour,
Capper, Davis, McNairy and
Seiwer—decided the issue favor
ably by joining 41 Democrats
for its adoption.

Every dollar that could be scrimped out of our
salary for years has gone into the purchase of'
books on that subject, and we do not have half the
material we want. A vision of the rare and ex

we had sixty dollars rose in our mind, and gave

I was dismissed.
Publishers of sets of books perhaps have a
I greater understanding of psychology than we do,
