Kidnaping is one crime we haven’t been guilty of to this date. were inclined to accept it as final that ttlo city would be forced to get along as best we could with tile present facilities at least for several years to come. There was one man, however, who never gave up. That man was Walter Lambeth who represents this district in Congress. Day in and day out, Congressman Lam beth kept in touch with . developments at Washington, anxious to serve the people of his district in the most efficient manner pos sible. Never dispairing of securing for North Wilkesboro a new federal building, he kept plugging away and when the opportunity came, Secretary Ickes, national public works administrator, released the good news that a new building, less handsome than at first proposed, but one that will meet the needs I Amhrnst; Aimi ■ 5ing At Ciwriott^ Pastors bt Metlbodlsff’^tinrc In the county and lay^idsTagatac from the Mt. Airy dbtrict began learlng Tuesday^ lor the annual session' of the North Carolina Conference o f the Methodist Episcopal church, ''south, which convened at Charlotte last night. The three ministers are J. H. Armbrust, Seymour Taylor and R. H. Kennlngton. Lay delegates to the conference from Wilkes are Attorney P. J. McDuffie, P. J. Brame and Mrs. A. B. Spaln- hower. Little hope for the return of Rev. Mr. Armbrust as pastor of the local church Is now entertain ed. It is the general opinion that the four-year rule will be strict ly adhered to In this instance.

Our representa tive has served well and we assure him that North Wilkesboro is not unappreciative. Selecting Representatives The usual method of selecting members of the legislature is severely criticised by Carll Goerch in his paper. The State, published at j Raleigh. Mr. Goerch takes a sound position! in advocating a wiser and more efficient! system. | With proper methods of liquor control, an equitable salary for teachers, the abolition of the sales tax and numerous other import ant questions to come up next session, it be hooves the electorate to consider carefully the men they are going to send to Raleigh next year. •The State’s editorial is so logical that we quote it in full: It’s not too early to begin giving some thought to the personnel of the next North Carolina General Assembly. We have a .som what peculiar system in vogue when it comes to si lecting men to serve us in our state legislative halls. .As a matter of fact, we don’t select them at all:—they select themselves- Andj that’s where the weak part of our system comes i Distinguished Service Of the distinguished services rendered by the boys who marched forth to war in 1917- 18-19, Ck)Ilier’s, the National Weekly, thinks of none more richly deserving of commenda tion than what the magazine captions, “Dis tinguished Service In Time of Peace.” Acceptance of the decision of the Presi dent to curtail the benefits to veterans dur ing the economic crisis was not an easy one. Colliers says. “Yet beyond all question the willingness of the veterans to make the ad justments demanded will be a source of fu ture strength. Men seldom regret sacrifices made in the national interests. Patriotism lifts men above personal interests in war and in peace.” Collier’s editorially voices a nation’s grate fulness. The American people lift their hats to the veterans for their response to the economic emergency. By their quiet accept ance of a needed sacrifice, the brave Ameri can boys have shown a loyalty and devotion to a nation such as they gave when the coun try called them to arms.

CHURCH BELLS SOUND OUT HITLER VICTORY Berlin, Nov. 13.—Evangelical church bells throughout Germany pealed for 15 minutes tonight, on the order of Reich’s Bishop Lud wig Mueller, "In token of grati-j tude for the unifying result of the plebiscite for the honor and security of the fatherland.” Join the Red Cross. Have you joined the Red Cross? Wear the badge before the campaign is over. Some jack-leggi.(l, wind-broken politician. or some would-be. self-.styled, radical-minded reform er. in your county or in mine, inserts an announce ment in the newspapers and tells the world that he is a candidate for the House or Senate. Nobody asked him to run and—after examining him rather closely—nobody can see any reason why he .should run; but he becomes a candidate, ju.st the .same. j They’ve got no business being in the Legislature.! They're often more trouble than they’re worth. In | many instances, Ih y are responsible for the pas-1 sage of a lot of no-acenunt l gislation and for the! defeat of many worth while bilks. ] TTiere’.s another sy.stem in effect in some coun-i ties which is of an entirely different nature and! which according to our way of thinking, is far mor-‘ efficient than the haphazard, jack-in-the-box j method mentioned above. Civic organizations or groups of public-spirited citizens get together and consider the names of! four or five up.standing business or professional men j of good sense and sound judgment who might be i depended upon to render efficient legislative serv ice. They go to these men and tell them that it’s up to them to run for the li^gislature. whether they want to or not. In the majority of instances, men of that type don’t want to run: they yvant to stay at home and attend to their own affairs. Many times, a good deal of moral suasion is necessary to make them see that it is their duty to make the sacrifice. When men of that type go to the Legislature, they can be depended upon to look out for the best interests of their individual counties, and for the best interests of the state as a whole. They are re sponsible men, and they realize that they cannot afford to betray the responsibility and trust which has been bestowed upon them- Not 80, however, wtih the other type, mentioned in the frst part of this article. They don’t care any thing about responsibility. The decision to be a can didate for office originated in their own minds, so they don’t consider themselves responsible to any body except themselves. In th- majority of inata;u'es, they do exactly as they please. They’re sorry legis lators as a rule. Of course, nobody wants to stop them from run ning. for they have as much right to run as any body else, but th" chances are that when some worth while candidate announces himself, these other birds wouldn’t stand very much show They’d run themselves to death, and wouldn’t get any where. We need constructive legislation in North Caro- liM at the present time. Need it more than ever before- In order to get that kind of legislation, it is necessary to have constructive legislators. Those kind of legislators don’t grow on every bush: they've got to be hand-picked, as a general rule. Let’s begin looking around now and see whom we want to send to Raleigh next year—not to Dix Hill, bat to the Legislature. There have been times, in the past, when the distinction hasn’t been very clearly drawn.

An interesting sidelight on post-election comment is that the drys .have shown no disposition to gloat over the results, nor have the repealists taken a gloomy view of the verdict. Both sides seemingly wish to strict ly enforce the verdict. That is as it should be. riTH a sincere de sire to be of ser vice, we organized a Burial Association.

Golden Text: Acts 17:28. ■ •Athens, at the time of Paul’s visit, ■was not an important political center, fo:’ the capital of the dis trict was Corinth. But Athens was still the queen of the intellectual world. Her schools of philosophy were famous, and she had impressive temples adorned with precious art treasures. But the city was so full of idols that it seemed as if gods were 1 more numerous than men. This idolatry was natural ly a shock to Paul’s monotheistic faith. The lesson contains the sermon Paul preached as! houtaare more he stood on the Areopagus, the splendor of the city | dangaroui fOP in full view, with an audience before him of Epicur- amooth, cans. Stoics, and idlers. Note the tact with which he begins- Instead of denouncing them for their idol atry, he says they are unusually religious- Thus he conciliates them, and secures a courteous hearing, i and ^t'on now Goodycara now! The art of appreciation here exemplified ought to be practised far more zealously. We usually ac complish more by praise than by rebuke. William Lyon Pheps tells of how he criticized se verely a short story submitted by a student to a college magazine. Later the young man, who was subject to attacks of low spirits, committed suicide. It is not a source of satisfaction to hi;'.;, says Prof. Phelps, that he contributed to the poor fellow’s suffering. Paul then goes on to define that unknown God whom the Athenians worshipped in ignorance. An unseen Spirit, He is the Lord of heaven and earth, who created all men. His children, to love and serve Him as one united family. The apostle then stresses repentance, and concludes with a brief reference to Jesus and the resurrection. The response to this carefully prepared, polite homily was not flattering. The Atheninas were too frivolous and conceited to embrace the gospel ■with genuine sincerity. Some jeered, some desired further light, and a few be lieved. The total impression was negligible. No church was founded in Athens, and no letter was written to the Athenians. So far as we know, Paul never went there again- Discouraged, he proceeded to Corinth, where his reception was much more fav orable.
