A SQFABHLE OF liltOTHERS-IN'LAW The recent visit of Elliott Roosevelt to Piiieluu’.'^t localizes interest in the little family squabble over the question of who is goiny to be nominated for President next year by the Democratic party. Elliott likes the chances of Vice President Garner, and followini? a state ment to this effect John Boet- tiger, publisher of The Seattle Post-Intelligencer and son-in-law of the President, quickly replied (on the first page of the news paper he edits) that “You can’t stop people from insisting that your pa has got to stand for a third term.” Then Elliott bumped into print under a Pinehurst date line with an open letter in which he said that he regrets that Mr. Boettiger, his brother-in-law. saw fit to address him person ally on the front page of the paper he edits and sarcastically comments that undoubtedly the move must have been made for the purpose of attracting pub licity to the paper. In this note soaking his brother-in-law, El liott makes some astonishing statements. For example, he says “that he is not a New Deal er, anti-New Dealer or any oth er type of supporter of isms, but I am as loyal as you or anyone else in the country to my fath er. I do not always agree with his (President Roosevelt’s) in dividual programs and I believe he appreciates constructive sug gestions and criticisms . . . Tex as would like to see a Texan in the White House and so would T. Texans regard Garner as a progressive who has supported the President’s fundamental ef forts throughout and has l)een loyal to the bottom of his heart. He mav disagree from time to time, but any man who thinks for himself would.” That last remark “any man who thinks for himself wotdd.” is delicious. Young Elliott seems to be torn between love for Tex as and love for his father.

When Tarheels drift into the New from above the Mason-Dixon line, V’oi'k World's F'air they will feel a certain amount of pride and satisfac tion in the Moore county girl elect- td to head the staff of the North Carolina division. Miriam Johnson, born and reared in Aberdeen, is a j’oung woman who has developed a large circle of friends pretty much through her genial and cordial char acteristics. In her friendly spirit, it will be her job to help promote harmony iiml good will, as chief hostess of the North Cai’olina exhibit. Miss lohnson reached her election over ^00 anplicants. The people of the K-andhills will approve the selection 'f the affable Miriam as she wel- 'onies visitor^ to the North Carolina 'cpi’.rtment, and the capable manner in which .she will be able to handle matters pertaining to her native ‘tale. The choice has been a good one. A pair of three-year old.s, one fiom an adjoining state and one witnessed their fii-st drag hunt not long before the .season closed. When the Moore County Hounds start out with staff in full regalia and pink coats prominently sprinkled through a field of 30 or 40 riders, they create quite a picture, and one that appeals to any passerby, regardless of age. The three-year olds were particular ly impressed. The little girl looked out of the car window with keen ap preciation and said something to the effect that it was the nicest band siie had ever seen. What the small boy saw was a reti coat, not a pink one, and it enveloped a living Santa Claus. He beheld not one of the fine old scouts he held in high es teem, but a noble ariay of them in joyous duplication! Vi.itors have been known to show various kinds of enthusiasm over the Moore County Hounds and their outfit, but it would be hard to find a couple who were more tlelighted thaii the pair who were only three. Quite a crowd enjoyed a commun ity gathering held at the public li brary on Friday evening. Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Dean are to be congrat ulated for such a splendid program of good, wholesome entertainment and music. Sandwiches and lemon ade were served as refreshments. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Harris of Siler City, visited friends here Sun day. Mrs. Alice Rogers, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. L. W. Rhodes, has returned to her home in Cranes- ville. Pa. Bill Turnley has returned from a trip toi Georgia. Mrs. F. S. Harris and daughter. Miss Lucille, of Bynum visited at the home of J. V. Snipes Sunday. C .E. Covington, who is working in Durham, spent the week-end with hi.s^ family here. Mr.s. L. R. McKeithan, of Cameron, called on Miss Elizabeth Ray Friday. Glenn Harris and Miss Webster, of Hill.sboro, visited Miss Evelyn .‘^nipe.'? on Simday. Memorial services for Dr. Holden were conducted by Dr. Grier of Sou thern Pines on Sunday. Miss Mary Condit continues quite ill at the home of her niece, Mis.^ Nettie Williams. We were especially impressed by the Bible explanation at the Niagara church Sunday evening, by Miss Nell Simons. It was a talk leading up to Faster, so fully, yet fo .'■imply, ex plained that even a little child could understand. We feel very fortunate to have Miss Simons with us, as her talks are always fine.

But it seems very doubtful, on the basis of the feeling revealed in the dispute between Elliott and John, that any members of the Roosevelt family would sur vive such a family gathering. And then what would the re porters do for fight stories? HOW ABOUT YOUR THIRD CHILD? Fifty-nine lives were lost on North Carolina roads last month. Five hundred and for ty-five accidents took place, injuring 518 persons, says the Safety Division of the Highway Department. Five hundred and eighteen i^ople crippled in four weeks! Injured entirely through neglect and carelessness. One insurance company says that in the typical American family of three children, the probability is that one of them will be killed or injured in an automobile ac cident before he has lived out his normal life span, and yet we make mighty little effort to save this third child. We watch the moves of the war lords of foreign countries with fear and dread and shut our eyes to the machine that continues to wipe out thousands of lives in streets and roads in front of our own door. We can’t see the philosophy of con cerning ourselves over anti-war organizations and peace leagues brought up in Congress. The debt is rapidly approaching the legal limit and there it must halt unless the American peo ple. through their representa tives, change the present law. Indications are that it will be no easy matter for the “spend ers” to change the law. Con gress, at least temporarily, is of a mind to economize. But Con gress cannot be expected to stem the tide of spending or head the country off from bankruptcy entirely on its own initiative. Again it must be pointed out that in the last analysis there can be no such thing as effec tive economy in government un til the people themselves, through the polling booth and otherwise, express a desire for economy. Local business men will have to learn to look farther than the end of their noses and refrain: Dr. James EMward Mason, famous It is a convenient thing to have in the village able and willing ar tists who can be called upon when posters are needed for entertainments or an illustrated bulletin is wanted announcing an important bit of news for the hotel colony. Louise and Mary Katherine Crain and Anna Walker are three accom modating youngsters who can always be counted on to produce the re quired product in expert fashion. These three Southern Pines school girls are capable with brush and pen and have turned out work that would be a credit to trained work ers. Last week the Civic Club want ed some posters telling of a coming event and asked the Crain girls for help. These talented sisters have the faculty of catching the idea wanted ,and are able to create the material asked for. Anna Walker recently won a prize for the best drawing submitted of the Sandhill Exchange in Pinehurst. The work of these youthful artists appeafs from, time to time in promi nent places where they catch the eye of appreciative observers. The girls give their time and work for little or no remuneration, and those who request their aid get full sat isfaction in response. NEGRO ORATOR WILL SPE.\K AT VILLAGE CHAPEL TODAY from lobbying for pet local pro- iects which require so-called “free” government money. Lo cal Chambers of Commerce and civic bodies will have to forego the hypocrisy of demanding economy on the one hand while on the other acting as “pressure groups,” howling for public money for pet projects. Home town boosters of this sort are almost as serious a menace to Democracy as the worst of the dictators! The nation needs real econ- '■•mv but it can never have it until the American people exhib- ’t a sincere demand for econ omy—beginning back home. negro orator, will speak at the reg ular Friday afternoon Lenten service at the Pinehurst Village Chapel to day.
