Acknowledging Fundamentals
Hope lor the masses working with product* direct

in a statement issued recently by A. Obici, presidm'
of the Planters Nut & Chocolate Company, in con
nection w.ih an announced wage increase for he.
workers Incidental)', the statement comes when
peanut prices are far front a starvation point, and it
?supported by action ?plainly acknowledge? one of
the fundamentals apparently too often overkried i>y
business in general
The Planters chief said
"It has been clearly demonstrated tha' improved
buisnrss conditions can only be sustained by the
maintenance of increased purchasing i-*?cr in linr
with price advance?. Such price advances, in turn
are the result of increased wage? and a hcrher level
of raw material values which must he the basis oi
cuatuiued recovery"- '' also denote- thr ihanged trend
within the minds nt industrialists who seem now to
be espousing the New Deal and talbng in line with
the march of progress
The statement, supporting a principle that is vi
tally necessary to sound recovery, is accepted as ?ne
of the greatest signs lor prosperity on eastern Caro
lina |ieanui farms of any business uwirx yet so far
issued on weekly carloadings. steel production, bank
clearings, production rates of industry. and so on.
Surely, the action mean? much to peanut farmers and
gives ne to the questions, "Why can I the tobacco
and cuttun manufacturer? -u|>(?irt the principle to a
greater extent than they are now dump*-"
Commenting on the action mure as it affects the
wage earner, the Suffolk News-Herald savs:
"We find ourselves wondering it others in the same
line of business and class of cutnpetitiua will sub
scribe to the proposition so well stated by the Plant
ers chief. At the same time doubtlessly himdreds of
other workers at their humble tasks ate asking each
other, are we to have the same cuosaicratioo and are
we to have a similar Ineak' W e wonder, but we still
hope, for Planters theory is incontrovertible.
"Let us look fur a moment beyond the immediate
employees of this concern. Who stands to profit by
tin? wage increase? First, oi course, the mm and
women directly affected by the raise. Thru come
the families they support, followed by the merchant?
into whose tills the money will find its way. thr banks
as the final re;jo?:tories. the farmer who will find a
greater demand for his product?, landlords who have
properly to rent. and. finally, the entire population
which depends on general prosperity for individual
benefits.
"Thus the New Deal goes wrrhing on Its prin
ciple is basically Muad and its spirit hitraanitariaa
But it cannot continue or take longer strides until the
vision is caught up by every industrialist, big and
little, in the land. Every intelligent industrialist and
employer is fully aware that the old system of ex
plnitation of their workers has failed, and in failing
recoiled upon them in the end
ft has served its purpose after trtiidi it failed mis
erably Then why cling to an cronornir corpse and
chase a phantom when there is at hand a solid rock
to build on and a safe haven into which to cast an
chor? Increasing mass buying power increases mass
consumption, which in turn buttresses mass produc
tion. Only those are blind who will not see."
Old Christmas
w^www wrial fOtffSWO
Old Christmas, once observed on a fairly large scale
in this section of the country, has about run its course.
These modern times have just about swallowed the
custom and placed it in a more up-to-date setting.
And with its passing apparently have gone, or are
going, the real ideals of the day
These was always something about Old Christmas
observance that failed to make itself felt on Decem
ber 25. .As the old folks once gathered around on
Old Christinas Eve, the spirit of revelry was marked
by its absence. In its stead there was a spirit of
i tank fillness for the hope those old people entertained
for life after death. In the evening of their lives, they
used Old Christinas probably in a truer meaning than
many of us do today on the real Christmas.
Probably the observance of any other than Decem
ber 25 as Christmas was old-fashioned, and, however
unlounded the custom might have been, it still car
ried hope and understanding that are too often ab
sent on the real Christmas day.
The Common Cold Costly
UttrgtHlon Kerns-Herald.
It has been found by the United States Public
Health iwivite that tlie common told, tugeiliei with
!>ronchitis, influenza, and pneumonia head the list 01
all dieases causing sickness in this country. Intlu
crza and pneumonia were found to have a very high
mortality rate, being surpassed only by diseases of
the heart and cancer.
Another important finding in regard to colds, in
tiurnza and pneumonia was that they are among the
most costly of all diseases. They cause mote time
s|?-nt in bed and away from work than any other
group. They are a drain on personal efficiency and
therefore expensive fo industry and to other fields of
employment. The patient, the wage earner, and the
taxpayer all pay the cost.
While there is no record as to the number of cases
of illneir. caused by the common cold each year, it is
known that more people suffer from this seemingly
mild disease than from any other ailment. The loss
of time and efficiency that it causes to industry,
schools, and every field of labor is enormous, and yet
the cost of colds is not their most serious considera
tion ? Often they are the forerunners of more seri
ous diseases, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, laryn
gitis. and other respiratory affections. If neglected,
they prepare a fertile field for the ever-ready and
waiting tubercle bacillus. Therefore the)- should al
ways be regarded as dangerous and deserving the ut
most precaution.
Streamlined Horse Collars
Now they are stream-lining horse collars, a thing
that is a bit on the extreme side of our make-up. But
since that is being done, it may be well to sream-line
the plow; behind the horse, and the youth behind the
plow.
Fanning has had its drawbacks, but it is still the
best bet for Southern youth to follow it and remain
away from congested metropolitan areas. Probably
more stream-lining on the farm and less in the auto
motive industry will prove beneficial to youth.
