SUMMERS SERVE A REAL PURPOSE The Sandhills seem pretty quiet in summer, in comparsion with the busy winter season. But summers serve a very neces sary function in our program. It is then that our missionaries and messengers are spreading the gospel of our attractiveness in winter throughout the land. That this is being done very effectively was evidenced in metropolitan newspapers during the past week or two. And along all fronts. Golf—“Dick” Chapman was showing the north country what Pinehurst training does for one’s game by winning major tour naments, carrying on the mes sage of Sandhills courses where George Dunlap, Jr., our for mer national amateur champion, left off. Trotting — Pinehurst-trained horses were competing in the Hambletonian race at Goshen, New York, with one of them a favorite to win this annual clas sic Hores Shows—A Pinehurst winter resident was in charge of the show at Lake Placid, New York, and Southern Pines winter residents were judging this show and the North Shore Show at Stony Brook, Long Is land. The Tates were managing the show at Blowing Rock, in whhic they and the Moss Stables were competing successfully. Steeplechasing—Horses whicl raced here in March were run ning at Saratoga, the north’s racing headquarters in summer. Photographs of several prom inent winter residents here ap peared in the society sections of New York papers. Almet Jenks had a good story in this week’s Saturday Evening Post- Johnny Allen, who used to live in Aber deen, was winning more base ball games for the Cleveland In- dans. And every day, up at the New York World’s Fair, theres’s a young lady telling the visitors about the attractions of this section. The summers help make our winters. More and more people are hearing about us—and it won’t be long before they’re finding their way down. INTERESTS IN COMMON The farmer and the urban businessman are often repre sented as having drastically con flicting inter^o^s. The truth of the matter is that their basic interests are identical As Secretary Wallace recent ly said, “Underlying the agri cultural situation and seriously limiting the progress of agri culture toward a higher stand ard of living, is the low level of industrial activity and the large volume of city unemployment.” And, looking at the other side of the medal, is the fact that bad conditions among farmers mean limited profitless markets for manufacturers. The wise farmer knows that prosperity among businessmen is essential to agricultural pros perity. And the wise business man knows that good conditions on the farm are essential to wide and growing consumption of manufactured products. It is for this reason that representa tive business is solidly behind sound farm-betterment activi ties” such as the growing mar keting cooperative movement- TAXES AND ELECTRIC RATES Writing in Forbes, F, A.

North Carolina has just added 51 men to its Highway Patrol. Our idea of the best headline for the WPA strike story was the Chi cago Tribune’s “MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY.” Congratulations to neighbor “Bill” Horner, editor of the Sanford Her ald, on his election as president of the North Carolina Press Association. ,Down” is a good one to put into I actual use. Good street lighting at dangerous curves, intersections and on narrow streets will aid mater ially to eliminate some of the dan ger of after sun-down driving. An or ganization like the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce can do a valuable work in promoting a pro. gram of this nature. The Unued Slates Junior Chamber of Commerce is promoting a most val uable project in its campaign to se cure better lighting for America’s fa tal streets. This organization gives money prizes to local Chambers which organize and conduct the most constructive “Safety with Light” pro grams toward promoting night traf fic safety in their communities. The slogan ‘Slow Down at Sun upon the utilities—must be paid by residential and small commer cial users. This is a harsh con clusion. But it cannot be avoid ed.” The power utilities have done wonders in constantly reducing their rates in the face of rapidly mounting costs, including taxes, of all kinds. But it is apparent that, irrespective of the degree of operating efficiency realized, a point of diminishing return must eventually be reached when further reductions will be impossible—and increases made likely. Tltat point, it seems, is being approached now. In 1922 the electfic utilities paid a tax bill of $73,128,000; in 1938 they paid more than $315,- 000,000, In 1922 taxes took 8.28 per cent of the industry’s total revenues; in 1938 they took 16 per cent. In 1922 the cost of taxes per customer was $5.75; in 1938 it was $11-30 The reason why further in creases in costs must be passed! on to the residential user is ap parent. Power selling is a high ly competitive business. Any in-j dustrial establishment can gen-| erate its own power, if a cost, differential justifes it. The facti that comparatively few indus tries do this at present is a trib-j ute to the eeonomy and efficien cy of private utility service. But if, due to circumstances beyond the utilities’ control, the cost of serving the consumer is'mater- ’aly increased, it would be im- nossible to pass much of the in crease on to the industrial user without losing his business. And the result is that, as a matter of nracticality, the small user ’vould have to absorb the added burden. Past record proves that no in- ^UvStry is more eager to cut costs *^^han the utility—after all, a de- -lining price is the key to in- '•re^sing consumption. But the 'Jtilities are helpless in the fact of a government policy which *akes more and more of their revenues for taxes. Don’t miss the New York World’s Fair, is the advice of Robert L. Hart of Southern Pines, who spent part of everyday last week at the exposition. He was on the grounds last Saturday when the attendane approximated a quarter of a million people. “Bob” says it takes a week to see all you want to see. Harry Goldsmith says there are more deer around Southern Pines than at any time he can remember, and they're getting closer into town all the time. They are frequently seen in the Boyd peach orchard and around The Paddock. MISS STRICKLAND WEDS HAROLD SATTERWHITE In a ceremony of beauty and sim plicity Miss Millie Lee Strickland and Harold L.
