Page 4 THE DANBURY REPORTER. N. E. PEPPER, Editor and Publisher Issued Wednesdays at Danbury, N. C., and entered at the Danbury postoffice as second class matter, under act of Congress. Danbury, N. C., Thursday, November 26, 1936 A Commendable Idea W. Y. Davenport, one of Carson's good Stokes county teachers, advances the idea tnac the school teachers ought to have Thanksgiving We' can imagine no proposition that could be presented to the North Carolina general as sembly which, in our opinion, would be more popular, or more certain to pass. At present, the teachers get this holiday, ot course but the price of it is omitted from their pav checks. Why not let their salaries run on while they observe the great national holiday. This would insure every pedagogue a fine tat turkey on the fourth Thursday of November, and leave a better taste for the training of the children afterwards. _ . Considering the faithful and patriotic ser vices of this fine body of our citizenship—the teachers—who everybody knows are poorly paid, any member of the legislature who would vote against the free Thanksgiving turkey for them, should be summarily catapulted back to the obscurity of impossible politicians. More Advertising Than Ever Before "A greater volume of advertising than was ever published before," boasts the head of the Hearst publications. -j Is this a tribute to RETURNED prosperity. Hearst owns 27 big dailies in the cities of the United States, besides the Cosmopolitan maga zine and many other publications. Hearst, the multi-millionaire, influenced all his various newspapers and magazines to put up the meanest fight on President Roosevelt that any candidate probably ever sustained in America. The country's ruin and the des miction of legitimate business was screamed from every editorial column and every fiont pace controlled this leader of intrenched privilege prior to Nov. 3. Since that time the Hearst prints have been silent is seven languages on the nation's rum. Too busy, we guess, measuring increased linage due to unparallelled recovery. Business Men Of Walnut Cove No town of its size in North Carolina can claim a more wide-awake, energetic and enter prising group of young business men than Wal nut Cove, Stokes county. There's Bailey, Marshall, Tuttle, Fulton, Lovin, Dun lap. Taylor, Jones, Linville, Neal, Turner, Boles, Byerly and others. Thev know their stuff. They are going af ter the'trade and getting it, by advertising in the papers, by circulars, by personal solicitation and by premiums, and last but greatest, deliver ing the bargains. It's no strange sight to see from 2,000 to 1'.,000 people gather in the town Saturday even ings when the fireworks are set off. The Reporter congratulates this bunch of boosters for their acumen and perspicacity. They've got both plus. War Insurance Pacifists object to naval and army appro priations. Their contention is that America should scrap her navy and disband her army. This would set a beautiful example of peace to the world. Pacifists should be confined in a quiet asy lum for the harmless insane. History shows that the peaceful peoples and 1) e unprotected territories of the world have b'-en for time immemorial the prey of ruthless imperialism. America with its giant resources can 'build 100,000 bombing p'anes in 12 months. America THE DANBUBY REPORTER f " should build such a fleet, and teach its fiery youth to man them. The next war will be fought in the air. The pirates of Europe and Asia would not at tack America if they knew we were prepared. The lives and property of America should be adequately insured. We have the rrfbney, the material and the men. Give us this insurance. Francisco News Mr. Sam George and Nera Vaden called on Misses Era George and Frances Simmons Sunday afternoon.

Foster, Vocational Counselor, International Correspondence Schools Difficulties Provide the Opportu nities for Success A PROMINENT business execu tive has said that if he had to name the one quality most essential for success in business, he would say that it i 3 the ability to find genuine pleasure in overcoming difficulties. A tendency to shrink from or avoid difficulties can be a wellnigh fatal handicap to the young man starting his business career. Every responsible job in every line of work presents its difficulties. The more responsible and better paid the job, the more it abounds with them. It is this very fact that accounts for the fascination of busi ness, and that assures the man suc cessful in overcoming difficulties an ample reward for his is safe to say that the size dividual's earnings is an accurate measurement of the number of diffi cult situations he must deal with in the course of a day's work. There are miljions of people who can fill the routine jobs which busi ness provides. Their reward is the reward the rank and file always re ceives. The opportunities for suc cess lie in doing the difficult jobs. The man who finds himself in a job where there do not seem to be any difficulties can be sure there is no future in£hat job for him. If your goal is a successful busi ness career you cannot do better than hunt for difficulties. Never try to avoid them or pass them on for someone else to worry about. Learn to discover and cope with them bet ter than the men around you, arid youi l success is assured.

Getting a Job and Getting Ahead By Floyd B. Foster, Vocational Counselor, International Correspondence Schools Obtaining A Raise Or Advancement THE advantages of analyzing yourself beforehand are never greater than when about to inter view your employer in the hope of obtaining a raise or advancement Know exactly why you think you should have a better job or more money, and before you step into your employer's office have all the points you want to make mar shalled in their logical order. "What are you prepared to do that is better than you are doing now? What assets do you possess that make you capable of handling a more responsible job, or that make you worth more money to me than I am paying you?" These are questions that are certain to be in your employer's mind. It is up to you to have the answers. It all boils down to selling your employer on you, just as you had to do when you originally got the Si>. You must make him realize the nefit and profit to him that you can offer in return for a salary increase. If you have figured out before hand just what you can deliver, how you can measure up to the more exacting requirements you will be expected to meet, you will have the self-confidence that banishes nerv ousness and hesitation. And that self-confidence may be the most telling argument in your favor, for self-confidence based on ability is s quality that every employer valuer highly in an employee. * BURDENS "Life Insurance does not add to a man's burdens.
