Tuesday, January 16,1934 Plenty oi Hog and Hominy Big hog killings are reported all over the county, especially on the peanut and soybean (arms. It now seems certain that nearly every farmer will have plen ty of lard, pork, bacon, ham, and Kravy. The doc tors say it will kill people, but you can t beat them when you want something good to eat, and if a fellow works enough he can stand a fair quantity of real hog and hominy. At least Martin County farmers have the assurance of plenty to eat this year, with some to spare. And every farmer, both little and big, needs to prepare now for something to eat in 1935. It takes a year to produce a safe food supply, and farmers need to start now. Putting More People To Work The new order of cutting the hours of CWA work ers and doubling the force is a distinct step forward. Of course, we believe it would be better to continue the same hours and cut the price per hour. At least half of the people who have applied for jobs will never get them unless either the hours are cut or the pay reduced, and the half who have not been called are just as much in need as those who are now on the jobs, and when one gets on, it is practi cally impossible to prize him off of it. They run to all their friends and all the politicians to bring pres sure on the employing committee, in order that they may reta»n their jobs, even though they are not half as needy as the fellow on the outside with no strong friends to push his case. Mr. Hopkins, the Civil Works Administrator, has taken the right step in devising a system that will ex tend the npmber of opportunities to the unemployed needy. Give Full Measure One thing we especially need to teach in school is the importance of giving 100 per cent service for the things we get. There are too many people who are trying to get by through tricks and "skin" games, with no desire to give honest service. The whole trend of the day is to try to get by with the least possible ef fort. We need to teach in the early life of people the same lesson that Captain John Smith taught the Zi onists, "Those who do not work shall not eat." And yet there are millions of people who pull through from year to year and never do a valid lick of work, but have to be fed by a faithful father or mother, and in som ecases a dutiful son or daughter has to slave to carrv others. Banishing Law-Breakers We have never been in sympathy with a judge who follows the course of banishment of a person who has committed a crime in any community. If a man or a woman commits a crime in one neigh borhood, let them remain in that neighborhood, where they are known and can be watched and shunned, rather than to be run away, where they can play their unlawful games on a new and suspecting people. Vet many judges will banish lawbreakers to a new county or state Especially is this true in cases of bootleggers and harlots, which gives them the oppor tunity to debauch and disease unsuspecting victims. What we need is more judges who will assume full responsibility for vindicating the law in their own territory, and who will not run their undesirables off on some other community of people to be victimized. Passing Up Politics We like the way Governor Ehringhaus short-circuit* ed the politicians in his selection of associate rate commissioners. We just cannot help rejoicing when these old mangy politicians, who have lain around the feed trough and talked big for ages about their politi cal wisdom, knowledge and power, are kicked out of line for the fleas to prey on. One of the country's greatest troubles today is the fact that politicians have had too much to do with the business of the country. When men .like Dr. W. L. Poteat and Dr. F. W. Hauft arc put in authority in matters of state we may aspect cleaner government. "Who's Who" in Martin County We wish to thank those who have already sent in their lists of "Who's Who in Martin County." We invite every person in the county who will to submit their list of 5 nominees, naming them in order of their choice, from one to five, and giving in one or two sen tences the reason for their choice. We see that it is going to be a matter of much interest and, we hope, of some value to the people. It will at least put us to taking inventories of ourselves and our neighbors. Still "Choosing Up" for a Game Of Peanut Ball Hertford County Herald. From every vantage point along the battlefront in the game of Peanut, it appears that the forces are still unprepared for battle, are unarmored and complete ly shorn of weapons with which to either fight or play, depending upon your mental attitude in respect to the continued attempts to provide a code for the millers and cleaners and to secure the aid of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. That is to say: Peanut growers are either selling off their 1933 crops bit by bit at too low a price, or they are holdflig on to them while they nurse forlorn hopes of a better day. It has been a great "game"—this doing something to help the grower of peanuts. Congress put on the well-known act of marching up the hill and down a gain when it was in session last spring. Finally, it denied the grower the same rights under the Farm Act that were given to other agricultural interests. Now comes the announcement that Congressman Lindsay C. Warren and John H. Kerr, and Senator Bailey will start the game all over again at Washing ton. During the congressional recess, conferences, meet ings, trips to Washington, miller and manufacturing codes, and every conceivable side activity has been engaged in by the players in the game of Peanut. In the wind-up, things seem to be pretty much as they were before the 1933 crop was planted. All hands are still choosing up for this little game of peanut. All of which doesn't give any comfort to the pea nut growers of this area who made a half crop on the reduction acres they planted in 1933. A Real Job Goldsboro News-Argus. A Civil Works Administrator in a certain city found several men on one of the projects he was supervising who persisted in "soldiering" on the jobs. And he "fired" them, which was the proper thing to do under the circumstances. "This is real work to be done," he told his men, "and not merely an excuse to pay you some money. "Every man on this job is expected to put in a full and an honest day's work, just as much as though he was working for a contractor. "The government is i>aying out good money, and is entitled to its money's worth of work accomplished." Which, we believe, is the attitude most men-* both workers and administrators, are taking in these thous ands of CWA projects all over the country." There are occasional groups of men like these few mentioned, who have an idea their jobs are simply a new form of political pap, and all they are really ex pected to do is to put in their time for a wage instead of drawing a dole. Idleness, the depression, and too much dependence upon the dole have developed this attitude to an alarming extent. It is being fomented and fostered by the reds in their various demands for "free food, free rent, and three dollars a day." A score or so of men on a CWA job in another city had that same idea in another city had that same idea —and put it into practice a week or two ago. They were fired—with a salutary effect, it is said, (fp those who remained. Bank Insurance Sampson Independent. The new Federal banking law, which insures in dividual deposits in banks up to $2,500, this to be increased to SIO,OOO after next July 1, will doubtless bring much of the country's cash from the hiding places. In fact, there already has been a noted in crease in the amount of money being deposited in the banks of the country. While there were many safe banks before the de positors insurance law went into effect, a great many people were skeptical and kept their money at home. Now that the new law is effective, there can be no doubts as to the safety of the member banks. Naturally the confidence of the public in banks was shaken, due to the large number of bank closings and the large amount of money tied up in the closed banks. Something was necessary -to restore that confidence, and we believe the new banking law will serve that purpose. Sound banking is one of the greatest needs in bringing about recovery, and now that we have sound banking, it will serve to bring the money out from the hiding places and put it to work again. Books Catawba News-Enterprise. A negro preacher went in a newspaper office and said: "Forty-three of my members take your paper. Does htat entitle me to a free church notice?" Yes; sit down and write it," they said. Here is what he wrote: "Mt. Memorial Church, John Walker, pastor. Preaching morning and evening. In the promulgation of the goqxi three books are necessary.
