Welcoming Mr. McCarthy North Carolina newspapermen welcome a new member in the person of Mr. John Mc Carthy, of Washington, D. C., who has just purchased the Statesville Record. The hand of fellowship is extended and we trust that Iffr. McCarthy’s association with the newspa per business will be both pleasant and profit able. The announcement that both Mr. Sronce and Mr. Jennings, who are recognized as very competent newspapermen, will be re tained on the paper is of interest in this sec tion. Under their management. The Record K«k within two years taken its place among the better semi-weekly newspapers of the state. We predict for The Record a long and use- ful career under the new management.

Loved and KM^iected for his uprightness of character, admired for Us triumph obstacles wUch beset his ministry^'in the rural churches and venerated for his Christ like friendship for man, W. C.

Mills Home might not have been the great institution it is today. Certainly, hie liberal support help ed mightily in the trying days through which the orphanage passed. His education interrupted by the War Be tween the States, Mr. Meadows by his own initiative became a man of considerable learning. Here again was revealed the strength of character which the man pos sessed. His was a wholesome influence exerted in a great cause. He not only taught the re ligion of his Master, but lived it in his every walk of Kfe. His was the Christ-like re ligion which calls not only for spiritual food, but which realized the physical need of man and endeavors to fill that need. His was the religion not only of advice and admonition, but also of kindly deeds and actual assist- Christmas Needed America needs the Christmas spirit. It has a wholesome influence in times like these. The limitless hope which springs up in the hearts of men is beneficial in an hour when there is danger of surrendering to des pair and uncertainty. 'Thousands of years ago, a pagan people feasted on their scanty provisions in winter because they knew spring was on the way. Those pagan people who knew not God had faith in the eternal cycle of seasons. 'There is a lesson to be learned from this example of faith. Surely, we as a Christian people, believing in the goodness of our Creator, should have faith at this Christmas season. Spring is on the way. God will provide fo us in the season ahead. Let us, if we have not already done so, make sure that our less fortunate neighbors are provided for. Let ns spread the message of “peace on earth, good will toward men.” It is not too late even now to receive a blessing from this Christmas season. It is not too late to catch the Yuletide spirit. Make somebody happy, if you have not already done so. In the happiness of others, we may obtain happiness. Out of the Yuletide season, let us catch an inspiration that will carry us forw'ard in . the year ahead. Let us tell the story again ..and again of Christ’s me.ssage to the world. That message will save the world. By Way Of Congratulations In an age when court dockets are clogged with divorce suits, it is a happy privilege to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. James A. Fores ter, who have made the journey together for 64 years and are still “traveling along side by side” into the sunset of life. Mr. Parker, who summarizes the lives of this happy couple, very aptly supplies the answer to their successful journey together. “Mr. and Mrs. Forester,” he writes, “have seen modernisms flit by, but none took them off their feet. They have gone on the phi- ance. UQBOnhr ..... in bmt tepAi A good many y«ar« ago a col ored aiii& who Mnred aa door man fit a jiopalar Kew York Btore, and^arhoM courteay and unfailtng *taUe made kim popu lar with all the euBtomera, told me that he had taken a Federal ClTil Service ezaminathm lor the l^tloa of elevator operator. A little later I saw him and asked him about that Qoveni- meut job. “They done appointed me to go 'way out West,” he said, "an’ I can’t do that, nohow. So I turned the Job down.” “Whereabouts out West did they want yon to go?'’ 1 asked. “Port Wood, wherever that Is,” he replied. He was ohargrln- ed when I told him that Port Wood was the official name of Bedloe’a Island, ta New York Harbor, on whlcff the gigantic statue of Liberty stands! What reminded me of the Inci dent was the announcement a lit tle while ago that Liberty has been taken out of the custody of the Army and put under the care of the Department of the inte rior. It Is a part of the economy plans of the Government. Wash ington thinks the Army is rather extravagant. HOTJSIiiS another room “One more room for every family in the United States with an Income under $2,000 a year, is the slogan suggested by Tro- fessor O. M. W. Sprague, as a means of stimulating the build- to Ing industry. His denomination was close to his heart.; I agree with Professor Sprague, Religion wan doner etill. Faithful to church, just as he was faithful and loyal $b,ooo a year, ,but not the members of his family, he saw first of enough, or not good enough, all the good in all mankind and endeavored to bring the best to fruition. He was a man’s man who kept himself close to the Master of all. No greater eulo gy can any man write for himself than W. C. Meadows wrote by his daily life. Borrowed Comment THE SKYLINE DRIVE (EUkin Tribune) The Public Works Administration has allotted initial funds for beginning the work on the great Skyline Drive through Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. The amount stipulated for this purpose will not build the road, but gradually its significance is affixing on the minds of our people nationally, and the continuance of the project is not to be doubted. houses for people who have live on a lower scale. To carry out such a project will mean more economical meth ods of building, but I have been surprised to discover how many great business organizations are at work on ways to solve the problem of cheap, attractive af’'*, durable homes. I expect to see the day when a completely modern five-room or six-room house, with land land enough for gardening, can be bought in the vicinity of any big city for $4,000 or less. SILVER Gold’s partner This is probably the last time I shall refer to silver in this column.

I went to a concert in New York the other night where one young woman, Winifred Cecil, held a large audience en tranced for nearly two .honrs singing songs in Italian and Ger man. We didn’t care what the words meant; it was the beauty of the music and its perfect ren- diton by the singer that enthused us. To me, the fiuest service the radio can render is its power to bring the best music into every home. I am a typical middle-class American, and I know that in my- home we “tune out’’ most of the so-called “news" and music of the third-rate vaudeville that comes over the radio and tune in whenever a really good singer or orchestra is on the air.

A part of the Star’s comment follows; Obviously, such a development is imperatively whenever the subject of the in ternatlonal monetary situation is publicly discussed, almost every one who is regarded as an auth ority includes the rehabilitation of silver as a part of the pro gram of recovery.

No rich er scenery exists in the eastern half of the United States. No more inspiring experience could be the lot cf a pilgrim back to nature’s unviolated gran deur and nobility than that of a journey over the three or four hundred miles of boulevard which the drive, when finished, will constitute. “The states through which the highway will pass are doing their part by providing the two hun dred-foot right of way. For the building of the road i:self federal aid was necessary. 'That now has been arranged, and Public Works Administra tor Ickes has pledged further allotments to be made available as required until the project has been completed. “Perhaps it is true, as some have thought, that a civilization may be judged by its road-making genius.

Arey, dairy extension specialist at State college. “This event encouraged farmers to secure a few extra cows to supply this market with cream and the idea spread into adjoining counties. Since that time, 25 creameries have been established and numerous other milk plants, ice cream factories and cheese fac tories. Last year 13,000 farmers sold neariy a half a million dollars’ worth of cream to the creameries; others sold about $90,000 worth of milk and cream to ice cream plants.” Arey says the value of the milk sold to city and town consumers last year had a farm value of over ten million dollars and he notes that dairyman are learning how to do better feeding, how to do better feeding, how to cull out their low-producing cows and how to breed their stock according to preference records. Fewer cows are today producing more milk than a larger number did ten years ago. Back in 1919, for instance, only 21 per cent of the dairy bulls were purebred ani mals. 'Today over 55 per cent are purebreds. This has had a result ing good effect in the kind of stock being raised at this time- However, says the dairyman, there is still plenty of room for further improvement. What the future holds will depend upon the ability of dairymen to bre^, feed and weed successfully- The newspapers never write up a rac between a train and an auto for a grade crossing nnless it results in a tie Thomastou (Ga.)
