A. T. Robertson, editor of The
Pinehurst Outlook, told his fellow
members of the Kiwanis Club some
thing about the Tennessee Valley Au.
thority development in a most inter
esting talk at the weekly meeting
held on Wednesday in the Sunday
School building of the Page Memorial
Church in Aberdeen.
He outlined the objection which
had been raised to the government's
entering into the power business in
competition with private enterprise,
then proceeded to outline the many i
advantages he sees in the tremen-1
dous undrtaking which Uncle Sam
has under way, mentioning flood con- j
trol, soil building, fertilization, cheap- ^
er power and light, the opening up
of new fiejlds for use of light and
power in a territory affecting two ;
million people, the stimulation of pri- '
vate industry in the valley, develop- |
ment of arts and crafts and self-1
supporting projects for the rural j
communities. i

he said. “I wish you could see the
beautiful town of Norris, where the
great Norris Dam is under construc
tion. You would then appreciate the
permanence and vilue of this govern

ple.”

Pines Institution Recounted i
By F, Craighill Brown
In an editorial and in a letter pub-1
lished last week in The Pilot it was
pointed out that the Southern Pines
Library is in a precarious position;
that unless the community is willing
to give it further support it must
close. That is true. But it is incon
ceivable that so important an ele-
ment in our community life should
be unwanted. The real reason for the
lack of support is to be found in a
lack of knowledge of the library and
its needs. To help the public the bet
ter to understand the library’s posi-
lion the following facts are presenie'.^.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC
The Moore County Journeyman Painters Association is
an organization composed of residents of this County who are
also experienced, and competent painters with four or more
years actual experience at the trade. Our objective is, through
shorter working hours, to gradually increase, and spread em
ployment eqi;ally among the painters of this County who show
their willingness to co-operate with us.
We wish to establish firmly in your minds as well as the
minds of the public that we are primarily interested in mak
ing each and every one of our members self-supporting citizens
with no need for recourse to relief of any kind, either F’ederal
State or County. Recently our County papers printed a state
ment that 20 percent of the citizens of this County are receiving
some form of relief. Our County is rapidly acquiring the reputa
tion of being gluttonous on the matter of relief. Still our tax
payers, and leading citizens seem very reluctant to take up the
burden of so conducting our affairs as to make relief unneces
sary.
We as painters, and as citizens, abhor this state ot
affairs. We painters are not Radicals. We do not want to ex
change places with the Capitalists. We do want a chance to
work at a wage we think is fair and just for everyone con
cerned. Namely 60c per hour for a 40 hour week.
We are progressive, and welcome to this County, any
Contractor, Builder, or other type of business man, who we
feel has the best interest of this County at heart.
However, there are Builders, Contractors and other
outside interests now operating in our County who care noth
ing for our best interest. If they did care, would they be work
ing men from Charlotte, Greensboro, Durham and elsewhere
when there are citizens of our County dependent on relief who
are fully as competent to take these jobs as these imported
workmen
We say that our fellow citizens, and taxpayers, our
County Commissioners, our Chambers of Commerce, our Vil
lage Councils, our Kiwanis and other Clubs, and our Politicians
should cooperate with us in stamping out this practice at least
until such time as it will take to get our own people re-em-
ploye l by Industry and removed from relief rolls. Leave our
people on relief much longer, and it will be useless to offer
them jobs. They will be too well satisfied with relief to accept
them.
