Tuesday, January 9, 1934 "Who's Who" in Martin County? The Enterprise is anxious to secure a "Who's Who* list of Martin County citizens. We are inviting any jierson who will to send in his or her list, ' We would like to ask each person to nom inate five people now living in the county and give, in one or two sentences, their reason fo£ naming the one in first place. The name of the nominator will not be given, nor the reasons given, without the con sent of the person writing it. Please write the name and post office address of your five nominees distinctly and then sign your own name and post office. Also number your nominees from 1 to 5. We hope to hear from at least 500 men and women on this proposition. All answers will be kept in a permanent file and may some day become of much historical value. Coton and Home Ownership Cotton has given the United States a large trade bal ance since the Civil War. It has brought into this country no less than thirty billion dollars. Vet while it was enriching our nation, it was impoverishing those who produced it. This fact has been proved by recent figures re leased in the News Letter, published by the Univer sity of North Carolina I'ress, which shows that of the 46 counties where 50 per cent or more of the people own their own homes, only a half dozen of these coun- ties produce cotton. The counties which produte most of the cotton show a very small percentage of home ownership. Dare County shows 8b per cent of the families there own their homes; the next highest is Alleghany, a little mountain county that has never produced cotton, with 78 per cent of the people living in their own homes. Martin County, which stands seventy-sixth in the line of 100 counties, has 38.6 per cent of its families living in their own homes. In the big rich counties of Nash, Pitt, Wilson, Hali fax, Gaston, Edgecombe, and Wayne, the percentage of home owners ranges from 31.7 in Nash down to 23.2 in Wayne. In Greene, which is the lowest in the list, only 22.1 per cent are home owners. These coun ties have all been among the big cotton-producing counties for 50 years, and for 20 years most of them have been big tobacco producers. It seems to show one 6f4wo things—the producer does not get enough for what he does, or the people who get the most money know least about thrift. The Liar Most Dangerous The most dangerous man in America today is the liar. Perhaps it i? because he is found in a wider range than almost any other class of men. They are found from Wall Street down to the smallest trader, where some men may be found who will lie for the best end of the bargain. TheS- is already being built up on the sly a line of false propaganda against our president, while at the same time there are many who are trying to profit the national policies he promulgated. In every case of lying there may be found the de sire for profit. Men should remember that Ananias was not killed for wanting to retain a portion of his property against the law, but he met his fate because he lied about it. Now is a good time to prove the saying that we hear as we go along, if we wish to retain the rules of jus tice. Seed Loan Bill Before Congress The bill introduced by Representative Lindsay C. Warren on the first day of the present session of Con gress to appropriate $90,000,000 to be loaned to de serving farmers who are unable to furnish security for loans to enable them to farm again this year, some what on the seed loan plan followed last year, is one .of the most important bills that will go before the Congress thi% session. The seed loans last year took hundreds of thous ands of farmers out of the roads and their families off the charity lists. The seed loan helps the fellow who is down and unable to rise without the helping hand of some one. The government can certainly help a fellow to help himself easier than It can feed and clothe him. - - - - • » W Hitler Is a Hard Master Hitler is a hard master. He has just held up seven people for taking too much of their own money out of the country. The law allows only SSO to be taken out by any one person. The parties admitted in court that they carried more than that sum, and one was fined $25,- 000 and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment; the other six getting lighter fines and shorter prison terms. So far as we know, there is no other nation that is so drastic as Germany is in this line. Certainly an Englishman, German, Greek, or Assyrian can put as many dollars in his pockets as he wishes in the United States and go about the country and go home when he gets ready. Excepting, of course, gold, which af fects all people alike under the President's non-hoard ing order. Better watch Hitler. He would be worse than Kaiser Bill, if he could. Overemphasizing Play Sometime and somewhere in this country somebody will have to do some work if we are to preserve the freedom we inherited from our fathers. Yet we seem to be drifting farther and farther away from work and more and more into play. Flay is constantly rooting work out of the fields and the schools and perhaps other places, and has forced us to put up_wi).h a condition wise men are terming as a "racket." It has run riot in the minds of many people, make good easy money, and in some cases those who never make money, until it has gripped the public mind and is causing a wild reck less neglect of duty, especially in school children. It has run much of the hard work out of the schools. It has crucified Latin, shunned mathematics, physics, and most of the things that constitute the basis of trained minds and useful citizenship. One of the greatest reforms needed today is the elimination of so much play and the introduction of more work. A very large part of our expenditures is for play, which is far more expensive than work. Criticism and the CWA The competition for CWA jobs is growing very keen and assignment is unusually difficult. Many answers to questions on the applications are untrue. It has been entirely too easy to get affidavits and recommendations from neighbors and friends. The general rules provide that all those on the gen eral relief rolls come in the first class. The second class embraces needy war veterans with dependents. The third class covers any needy person with depend ents. The war veterans without dependentsjnake up the fourth class; and any needy person without a job and with no de|>endents is in the fifth classification. The rules do not contemplate that any man who has plenty of provisions, wood, house rent free can enter the service except for the purpose of filling positions of responsibility which cannot generally be filled by men who are on the relief list. Many farmers are found on the jobs wBo are in fair circumstances, while some others are waiting, shiver ing with cold, and hungry. About all the help the employing committee gets is criticism. Perhaps some of it is just, but in nearly every case the critic to give information and help-to right things. No man has the right to criticize anything who re fuses to help correct it. Private Use of the School\irounds Will the school board convert the school play grounds into a private playground by building high expensive fences around it? According to some re ports, that is the plan. However, we cannot conceive of anything so sel fish as to fence out the children —for whom the school was built and the land purchased—for the promotion of league baseball. We submit that it is far better to prepare 750 children for capable and useful lives than it is to train a few, perhaps a dozen or two, athletes. Senator Bankhead's Cotton Plan We fear that Senator Bankhead is too drastic in try ing to limit the cotton production to nine million bales this year. Such action would certainly raise the price of cotton in the South, wool in the West, and silk in Japan and China, yet there is another side to it; and that is the great consuming class must be con sidered, too; and they are more in numbers than we. The New Deal does not mean that one class shall share more in the opportunities of life than some other class. The real substance, as we understand it, is to give every class an equal opportunity. Driving Drunk in North Carolina Charleston News and Courier On the seventh of November the State of North Carolina was said to have declared for a continuance of national prohibition by a refusal to authorise a convention to declare for or against the Eighteenth Amendment. The praises of North Carolina have been* sung in prose and poetry by dry leaders. Among these praises is the cold rep6rt by the North Carolina State Highway Patrol that in November 115 automobile drivers were arrested for driving while they were drunk. "In addition to the drunken drivers," a dispatch from Raleigh says, "the patrolmen found 101 persons sauntering along the highways in an intoxi cated condition." Unless North Carolina shall adequately punish its drunken drivers, their tribe will not decrease, HiminUh, and dwindle. The drunken driver is notoriously a serious menace on street and highway in North Caro lia and in all other states and sections. With an in toxicated operator at the wheel, an automobile is a deadly weapon. THE ENTERPRISE DR. VIRGIL H. NEWBORN Optometrist Next Visits: Bethel, at Rives Drug Store, Mon i day; January 22.
