C.. a> second-class matter under the act of Conjresl of March 3, 1879. Addreas all communicationa ta The Enterprise and net to the individual members of the firm. Friday, November 23, 1934 Conversation?Then and Now One young lady from another town complained re cently because she could find so little company among the multitudes 9f people with whom to raise a worth while conversation. She says it is true that one can hear a lot of gossip and discussion about bridge winners among the women and a lot of noise among the men about the curvature of a certain baseball, or whether the football went to the yard or the yard and a half line; and then, too, you can hear, if you listen closely, some of the disre spectful things some t>f thr mm are saying about smw of the women, both old and young. She says that some of the con versa! ion carried on by women is far different from what the mothers of old talked. The same young lady thinks the jokes among young girls show a lack of modesty and refinement that go so far in the making of the ideal woman. This young woman frankly savs she is yearning for the good old days when her ilass thought of something besides card playing, hanging around drink stands lis tening to and adding their bit to the frivolities of life, with so little thought of grasping some of the many golden oppoituiiities that roll by us daily.- She thinks" girls would profit by slaying home more, reading good books, not the high powered magazines exclusively : help with the home duties, resting a tired mother, rather than running hither and thither both day and night, keeping mother and father on thorns fearing for their safety, from the various dangers and temp tions. We admit we kind of like the ybung lady's view point, and we understand (hat. young |)cople who con template marriage and homrbuilding are looking with disfavor on the present course of society. Better Houses Mean Better Homes Millions ol American citizens pay so little a 1 lent ion to the houses in which they live and take care of their familes, that not only are their comforts neglected, but many of them do not offer protection to the health of the people; many dangerous diseases coming as a result of poor housing. flur gn ye r n rnr n t 'if n nw making a housing smvey~al all its icliel subjuls. which will |mhaps cause a deep? er interest in better homes. If all the homes in the country which need better flues and fireplaces, I tetter roofs, window |>anes put in, door steps fixed so the family can get in and out without stepping on a black 1 feet high or more, houses ceileO and painted -not only would millions be heal thier and happier, but it would go a long way in giv ing work to those who are without jobs. The public should give hearty cooperation furnishing informa tion to those working on this survey. Save the Editor The Kansas Cunninglon t'lip|>er gives an instance of a minister who truly appreciates an editor. Fol lowing is a toast which he offered at a recent editorial convention: To save an editor from starvation, take his paper and pay for it promptly. To asve him from bankruptcy, advertise in his pa per liberally. To save him from despair, send him every item of news you can get hold of. To save him from profanity, write yijur correspond ence plainly on one side of the sheet and send it 1n as early as possible To save him from mistakes, bury him. Dead peo ple are the only ones who never make mistakes. The Pennsylvania Upset One of the strangest things of the year is Pennsyl vania going Democratic, and possibly no single inci dent has gratified or pleased so many folks. All the way from Maine to Texas and from Hatteras to Men docino people are rejoicing, all because of the free teg of so many people of that state, who have been ground down to frazzles by Pennsylvania machine pol itics. It shows to the world that the steel mills and coal barons have lost their grip, and that the ten mil-| lion souls of that great state may get some assurance that their souls are their own. May the day speed on when a more equitable dis tribution of the income of the Mellons aad the work will prevail. Suggestions Wanted Some ago this paper suggested a hospital for Martin County The response was not very encour aging. Yet we contend the county greatly needs a hospital. It would doubtless save lives, save pain, and save expense?all of which constitute excellent reasons for the establishment of a hospital N et our people sit idly by and let the opportunities pass. We can spend for thing* we want, whether they are worth anything to us or not. On the other hand, we fail to strive for the thing- we need for the most frivolous reasons. Hundreds of communities in the country not half so rich as we are, and which do not need a hospital more than we do, build and maintain hospitals. We can, too, if we try. But so long as we are satisfied to spend all our mon ey for pleasure, we will not think of a hospital until -somebody dies because of the lack of one. We would like to have more suggestions on the best way to start a hospital movement. Do Not Rush Peanuts To Market f ormer!., you will lose by rushing your peanut crop to market too fast. Yet some farmers seem to want to get rid of their peas, whether they get good prices or not. Some of them who have been getting big prices for tobacco seem to be inclined to sell their pea nuts for anything they can get and rid themselves of both the care and responsibility. The government and the peanut millers are anxious for the farmer to get good prices for his crop, yet he just will not cooperate. The mills are so anxious to stabilize the price and the market that they are pro viding storage and insurance at the. very, lowest fig ures, which will enable the farmer who must have money to borrow liberally on his crop. 'lake the Columbian Peanut Company, for instance. It has advertised throughout the belt its storage facil ities, without the farmers being under any obligation whatever to sail to them, and he has every privilege ?f carrying all buying companies' representatives -to their warehouses to bid on his peanuts. If farmers will store a large part of their crop and put them on sale as needed, they will get very much more than if they foolishly rush the market. Merchants buy goods as they need them. No good merchant any longer buys a season's supply all at one time, he buys as he needs them. Peanut buyers would like to 'do The same. When a year's crop is thrust upon them at one time, they are forced to drop the price. An Impartial Agency T he L'nited States Chamber of Commerce, an indus trial group, organized and fostered by industry for the purpose of helping industry, opposes the proposi tion for the government to standardize Consumers' goods, and advocates that the standardization should be done by industry itself. We can hardly understand why they are unwilling to abide by government standards. The man who pro duces an article of food, and the man who buys and eats the food after it has been processed by industry, are just as much entitled to know in what they are dealing as is industry. Industry may be so anxious for profits that it may buy a poor steer at a low price, run it through the tanning factory and sell it to the consuming public as fat steer. Yet the factory man says he should be jiermitted to standardize to suit the producer and con sumer, rather than let it be done by an agency that gets no dividends from or has any special interest in the consumer, the factory, or the producer, and which lias no nilit't iiueiest than to see fair play between all men. Less Selfishness Needed Many sections of the state an(j country are gather ing together funds to care for the needy during the coming winter?a very commendable thing, a thing that is motivated by the very spirit of Christianity. Vet we hear of no movement in this section so far, whereby the needy may be hel|?ed, except the Red Cross Roll Call, which, by the way, is not being as well answered as it should be. Our folks who can give seem to lie willing to dodge their obligation and pre fer to see the government handle the whole job, while those who have been getting aid are still rushing to the trough. So there should not be too much criti cism, when one crowd wants to get all they can and the other wants to keep all they can. We need to look at the situation with less selfishness. Liberty League or Plunder Gang? That big I masting Liberty league says it is not lighting President Roosevelt. Certainly, we all know I it is not fighting him now; but we all know it was lighting him, tooth and nail, until he gave it a solar plexus knockout at the recent election. We also sus ) pect its langs still contain the same old vitriolic pois I on that existed Itefore the knockout. 1 It is strange to see a body of men come out and ! proclaim themselves a Liberty League, when Plunder Gang would be a more appropriate name. The sheep-clothed Liberty League wolf has already found that it can't fool the folks all the time. Desecration of Shrines The News and Observer certainly bears down sharp ly on one Bennett, ol Greensboro, who had engraved his name deeply in the Andrew Johnson home, now standing in Pullen Park at Raleigh. Yet when we think how some ignoramuses cut and carve their un hallowed names on some sacred shrines, we must con fess that we commend the paper for lashing such cat tle.
