THUBSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1933 Small Hope For Will’s Hope While fl3ring over Hoover Dam on a recent air trip frW Chicago to the Coast, Will F.og- ta dn^ped off his daily message to news- pi4>ers. One of his remarks was: “E^ they don’t irrigate more land so they can raise more things they can't sell; and will have to plow up more rows, kill more pigs to keep ’em from becomin’ hogs.'*’ It is a funny worM. The idea of pouring more millions into irrigation schemes to make more farms out of waste lands and de serts, thus boosting over-production of agri cultural crops, would also be funny if it were not so ridiculous. President Roosevelt’s Civilian Conserva- tidn army has sometimes been referred to as a joke and as a “sappling army,” but if it is a joke, it is not so “rich” as the irrigation |M»jects. At least the boys are not doing anything that will force a process tax, cause plows to devastate full-grown cotton and Iwfng the butcher’s knife to pigs. ^ Do Your Part Now Production, continued production, is neces sary if our manufacturing plants are to keep men employed. Buying power must be built. Buying power must be used. Only through consumption which demands increased pro duction can payrolls be built up. No plant can continue to operate beyond consumer demand. A dollar spent now for building does two things. It helps the construction industry put back to work thousands of skilled and un skilled workers; it buys needed materials now cheaper than they can be bought later. Even though the cost is now higher than it was a few months ago this merely proves that costs .are increasing. To ^ave money and create jobs, act now. Statistics show a shortage of over 1,000,- 000 houses. This figure is based on a definite crarvey in 257 cities. Millions of homes al ready built are sorely in need of modern’zing —a concrete driveway, a basement, a paint job, a new roof, refurnishing. A dollar will buy more for you today, do more for your country, than later. Analyse your building needs. Ask yourself, “How can I best do my part ?” tax 15^ge The largest electric company in Oregon statement to attaches.^ following . monthly bills || ^ "Tax collectors now take IS cmts out d every doQar our custbmmrs pay us. ‘“In Oregon ttie taxes on privately-owned public utilities amount to a sum g^t« than the cost of generating the lijpdtp^elaetrie power.’ (FVwn Oregon Voter, December 24, 1982.) “As taxes are part of the cost of sully ing electricity, they must be included electric rates.” . That statement is simple enoujdi to be understood by anybody. Publicly-owned electric plants on the oth er hand pay no taxes. They have strenuous ly opposed any move to make them bear a share of the burden of government. They en joy all the privileges of government protec tion without paying their share of the cost. They ask tax-exemption for their properties and the favored customers whom they serve, at the expense of other taxpayers and elec tric customers who could not even get serv ice from the tax-exempt publicly-owned plants. This is a sorry spectacle of the abtise of governmental privilege. When tax-paying electric companies are crippled or destfuyed by tax-exempt municipal or publicly-owned competition, taxes on remaining private property will be given another rapid boost. An Able Leader In Richard G. Finley, the North Wilkes- boro Kiwanis Club will have a leader whose record of public service indicates that no stone will be left unturned in an effort to promote the best interests of the organiza tion and the people of North Wilkesboro and Wilkes county during the tenure of office. The men chosen as officers of the club are men of ability and with them in the lead, we expect nothing less than a splendid record of service from the club during the ensuing year. We believe the club chose an able leadership, one that will carry out the motto of the organization, “We Build,” in the same efficient manner as his predeces sors. Along with the Lions Club and the Wo man’s Club, the Kiwanis Club has proven it self a tower of strength for public better ment in North Wilkesboro and Wilkes coun ty.

I Bin ot the opinion that it will not he what a great many ot os thinks it wonld he. Of 'coarse’ the government '’will n6t let llqnor go on tha tree Uet; if the wet vote carries It will want some revenue. Jnet as soon ah Congreea'' approves and rati fies the election, I am estimating that it will pass a law, to regu late the llqnor traffic, allowing bonded distillers, with a revenue tax any where from 80c to jl.lO on every gallon of Uquor made, and then those that can bond will be allowed to make and sell liquor In accordance with the government law, but the little man that’s inclined to make liquor and cannot bond will blockade and sell his liquor as cheap or cheaper than the bond ed man’s tax will be; creating a sharp competition between them, then the drys and the bonded man perhaps will prosecute the bootlegger, and I am of the opin ion the penalty will he more se vere. We need not think the courts will decrease, but In crease, both state and federal. Crime will Increase about 50 per cent so It will not be wise to vote In liquor, but vote It out; We have already more Mquor than we need. The Bible, religion, the church, good morals, and everything good Is against llqnor In any form. The making and selling and drinking is not successful In anything but the devil and his angels. Solomon the wisest king said wine is a mocker, strong drink Is raging and whosoever is deceived thereby Is not wise. I’m very much afraid that many of our people are deceived and not wise. For In this period there has grown up a generation of voters that have never seen a saloon, and do not know the hor rors of drink. The enemies of temperance have almost captur ed the public sentiment, and if we would save our nation young men and women, we have no time to lose now, let us get busy and put away from our midst rioting, revelling, and drunkenness, we as civilized and Christianized people, do not want to train our children up in a bar-room’to be a drunkard, rov ing the public roads and even follow them to a drunkards grave.

Let us be more careful in selecting some of our officers and we can have prohl- bition.

We see crime after crime, murder after mur der, death after death, and peo ple say that liquor Is the blame for It all; so liquor Is the pack horse for all our mean deeds.

PAPERS WILL GET VICK ADVERTISING In accordance with its policy for nearly 30 years, the Vick Chemical company will receive most of the heavy advertising this season for Vicks vaporub, Vicks nose and throat drops, Vicks medicated cougl; drops and Vicks voratone antiseptic. During the past four years Vicks has Increased Its advertis ing 150 per cent. It has increas ed the number of its employes 72 per cent and maintained salaries at the high 1929 levels. Vicks has continued the ag gressive merchandising that b$n always characterized its ' dales' policies. In these four yeai probably the most disastrous economically that America has ever known^-sales of Vick pro- 'ducts have increased from 26,- 000,000 packages in 1929 to more than 52,000,000 packages this year. For many years Vicks vaporub. It Is stated, has surpassed in sales volume all other cold reme dies. Mr. Richardson attributes much of the tremendous vaporub sales—over 26,000,000 jars last year—to consistent newspaper advertising. Good yields of Korean lespe- deza are reported In Alexander county. Lee Roy Bresler says he secured 254 bales of hay from less than five acres. ' This Traffic Problem After listening to Grady Cole’s broadcast in “The Man on the Street,” most radio listeners were convinced that many other cities and tow’ns beside Charlotte might easily take steps to lessen traffic hazards ^ ^ and eliminate some of the inconvenience' the Jews, envious at this success, stirred up suf-; which inadequately enforced traffic regula tions produce. North 'Wilkesboro has one problem that could be easily solved if the people would co operate with the police department. We re fer to the double-parking habit which has become more noticeable during the past few weeks than at any time in recent years. It is nothing uncommon for an automo bile to stand parked on Tenth or "B” streets, two of the main thoroughfares, for several minutes while the traffic endeavors to make its way through a one-way lane that is not only annoying but dangerous. Automobile owners should and do know that the streets, except for the parking lanes, are for mov ing traffic, not for parking. Double parking is not a necessity and could be avoided, thus eliminating some of the danger to life and property which motor travel naturally brings. Automobile owners residing in the city should endeavor at all times to facilitate the movement of traffic through the city and we are of the opinion that local people are the potest offenders in this respect. Double parking is a habit and not a necessity. Parking conditions, which become more serious on Saturday than any other day, would be relieved considerably if local auto- mdbile owners made it a point, insofar as possible, to leave their cars at home' and thus give shoppers a chance to park on the main streets. The situation, we are firmly convinced, could be materiafly improved if the public ^will five the matter a little thought. ed the people that they deified the apostles and tried to offer sacrifices to them. But this adulation, at the sinister suggestion of hostile Jews from An tioch and Iconium, soon turned to bitterness. For Paul was stoned, and dragged out of the city as one dead.
