HearD about TowN Our friend A. B. (Buck) Buchan an, who Is connected with the Oraphic in Nashville, paid us a visit Satuittay. Buck writes a column for the Oraphic similar to this column, and recently he paid his respects to Hon. O. Max Gardner. Buck says before another election rolls around In which Mr. Gardner might figure he is going to make it so hot for him that he will not have the nerve to ask anyone in this State to vote for him. Well, Buck certainly does call a spade a spade. You can almost always hear some thing about what Is going on. if you step Into Hambrick, Austin & Thomas' drug store and take a seat on the long bench near the door, for nearly every one who comes to town is almost sure to visit this popular place before returning home. The other day when we dropped in the crowd was after Nat Jordan, want ing to know when he was going to move to town; said they understood he said he would have more time to devote to his farm if he lived here, for he would not have so many trips. Living in the country as he does now he has to make about three trips a day, whereas if he resided here it would only be necessary to make two trips, as he would not have to visit his farm after supper. Anyway, Nat is a good farmer, raises good tobacco and always manages to get a good price for it. Jake Tay'.or, the man who put across the President's ball, says if the President will listen to him lor just a few minutes he will help him out of this depression, Jake's idea is to replace al! married women now holding johs with men and single women who are out of work, Of course, he would make some excep tions, for instance, where the woman is supporting a family, bu?~as'a rule he would give the preference to married men and single women. He says this would put not less than two million men and single women to work, and help materially lessen the army of unemployed. Jake is a single man and insists that a man who can not care for his family hasn't any business with a family. There is sdmething in this to think about, even if some of our very best friends are married women holding jobs. The good women are rejoicing, and we are rejoicing with them, over the prospects for a commun ity building, but unless there is an improvement in past performances none of the thrqp projects- which have been allotted this town will be finished before the expiration of the CWA. First there was the swimming pool, and it is far from completion; though there is good reason for this delay, as the matter of pouring cement is purely a sum mer time proposition; then the school succeeded in getting through j the project for a gym, and while, {his has been urider construction for j more than a month up to this good| day, the foundation, with about aj half dozen window frames, is all I there is to show for it; not a piece of lumber on the grounds or any thing indicating a new building; and laslty, the community house. This was started last week, and we must say. shows much more speed, as the foundation has been' dug, and some little material Is on hand, hut we Insist the good women must keep behind this project if they hope to see It completed by May st?the date set for the winding up of CWA work. We have some good contractors here, and we beg to sug gest to the women that some of I them not only know how to push i matters, but they are pretty good i cussers?and you know, sometimes ! this helps, even If the preacher does not approve of such language. In talking to a railroad man the other day he said his road had hauled more fertilizer so far this season than it hauled all of last season. Looks like the farmers are going to plant more of something, tobacco or something else, regard less of reduction. We can not say how this will apply to this good County, for the farmers have hard ly begun hauling it out so far. Saturday while strolling around on that beautiful (?) day we met one of our best farmers and a good citizen who said he wanted to apologize for all he had said about Mr. Groundhog. Well, we told you what you might expect, and we have no apologies to make. However, we are mighty glad that his rule is about over. We know it is over be cause the robins have come, and this is a sure sign. These beautiful birds are to be seen on all sides, in every front yard, and we have never seen them more numerous, or quite so plump and fat. TODAY and FRANK PARKER I STOCKBRIDGEl GOATS?were needed J "What is the motive behind the I anti-Jewish activity of the Nazis?" II asked my friend. "What was the motive behind the anti-Hoover activity in America?" he countered. "The people were in trouble and they needed a scape goat. Mr* Hoover was elected" the goat. It was easy for people to lay the blame for everything on him. "Just so the Nazi movement needed a goat. Why not the Jews? They were not numerous enough to set up serious resistance, only two percent of the population; but they were the bankers, merchants, in dustrialists, against whom it is al ways easy to stir up the populace Of any nation. Nothing is easier than to arouse the poor and the lazy against the well-to-do and the industrious. "So Hitler and his aides made the Jews the scapegoats for Germany's troubles. .It makes no difference that the German Jews have for centuries been more patriotically and devoutly German than the Ger mans themselves. The appeal was to the ignorant masses, and the. Jew had to suffer." I may be wrong, but I imagine it will not be easy for Germany to finance its next war. NAZI aim, equality I spent several hours the other evening with an old friend, an American citizen who has lived lor many years In Germany. "What Is at the bottom of this revolutionary movement In Ger many?" I asked him. His answer was prompt and concise. "The Treaty of Versailles," he replied. "The German people feel that they have been placed In a position of inferiority ever since the war. They are a proud people. They believe themselves superior to all other peoples. The present genera tion refuses to pay the price which its parents accepted to end the war. It took only shrewd leadership and an appeal to patriotic pride to arouse them to a new sense ot nationalism. Everybody in Ger many is in uniform. The military spirit is being cultivated. When the lght time comes there will be an other war unless the nations whom Germany regards as its enemies yield their rights under the Ver sailles treaty." Other observers have told me the (same thing. I think they are prob ably right. But I also think that the United States will not itself be drawn into another European war. RELIGION?revised One of the amazing things my friend told me was' that the German people are openly abandoning Christianity; not all of them, but the element which is strongest in support of the Nazi program. "The children are being taught to believe in the old gods of Val halla, in the ancient Teutonic myths instead of the Bible," he said. The very next day I read a dispatch from Berlin giving the text of a new version of the 87th Psalm, which has been amended by a Nazi leader so that it begins; "The Lord loveth the height of Germany more than all the dwellings abroad." In the preface to this "revised version" it is asserted that the Bibllical story of Christ must be wrong, because it represents Christ as a Jew. I got an entirely new idea of what is happening in Germany. It is not a pleasant picture. o HINTS FOR THE HOME By Nancy Hart To expedite baking, especially de sirable in kitchenettes, use large shallow pans instead of.deep ones. A meringue must be baked in a moderate oven' for delicate brown ing. Too much heat makes it tough and wrinkled. Too little heat leaves it half liquefied so that it falls. Mushroom sauce is the proper ! complement to a pigeon dish? cran berry sauce or currant Jelly should be served with rabbit, i ... I One pound of lobster, shrimp or i crab meat will make enough salad lor ten servings. To make your pie crust richly brown and flaky, spread a little , cream over the top before putting It into the oven. Should the crust brown before the filling is cooked, cover the pie with another pie tin tor the remainder of the baking, t When egg whites will not beat up stiff, add two or three drops of lenjon Juice. Economy Recipe bits into joints; lay th(m in cold water for an hour. Dry and fry in butter till about half (lone. Also saute in the butter, with the rabbit, if preferred, four or five onions, and a head of celery, diced. Add this mixture to three quarts of cold wa'er, one pound of spll; peas, salt arid pepper to taste. let it stewl gently four or 'five hours, then strain; ' and serve. Dumplings miy be com-1 . bined with this soup to make a more nourishing dish. IN MEMORY Friday morning. Feb. 16. the Lord had need of another angel in His holy band so He sent His death an gel into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Denny about five o'clock and took away their darling baby. All was done for him that loving hands could do but nothing could stay the cold hands of death. His stay with us was very short, only one month and nine days. Why he was taken from us we cannot understand. Of course we loved him but God loved him more and took him to the hap i py home over on the other shore.; I The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh j away. ? He was just a flower planted here on earth and is removed to i heaven to bloom. ? Of course we . know it is hard to give up this lit-'! tie one but he is gone where pleas-! ure never ceases. We are sure that, he will meet his sister and twoj brothers in heaven who have gone on before. He tleaves to mourn1 loss a broken-hearted mother, fa-1 ther, sisters and brothers. He was laid to rest iri the family cemetery under a beautiful blanket of^flowers. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Joe B. Currin. Death Of Lea -On \yednesday, Feb. 7th, our pet dog. Lea. died. His death was I caused by a tree. We were out in the woods cutting when a tree fell on him. He wds a big red hound dog and was a beautiful pet. His master, Jasper Hill, sure hated -to give him up. * t * READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS Roxboro Drug Company Phone 114 "WE DELIVER" Coty's Powder with Perfume . . .97c Ex-Lax (large size) 21c Creomulsion $1.08 Alarm Clocks 98c Williams Shaving Set 33c Jergen's Lotion 39c Dr. Caldwell Syrup of Pepsin . .49c Wine of Cardui 89c Black Draught 19c Pond's Tissues 19c Unexcelled Fountain Service yA^S the shipwreclcecf mariner seek* with eager anxiety the haven of the lighthouse, so you can _ look to us with perfect confidence.
