More Schooling Needed It is generally agred that an extra grade and an uniform nine months term is needed for the schools, but a twelfth grade and an additional month are not all that are needed to round out the educational system in this state. There is lit tle doubt but what the State is receiving a far greater return from its millions spent on schools than it is receiving from any other ex penditure. At the same time the youths of this State, not all to be sure, are not taking full ad \antage of the limited educational facilities now at their command", if you call those facili ties limited. The trend has been to render secondary scholastic activities, and push to the front what are known as extra-curricular events. Few chil dren can follow?the sports five nights to the week, witness several good shows, pursue a general good-time program continually and really take advantage of the opportunities now offered by the taxpayers through a centralized bureait of education, in Raleigh., The youth is not to be denied a balanced program, but the evidence that is boldly offered by many youths today shows there is no balanced program, that the taxpayers are not getting the greatest pos sible return for their money. No one would suggest that the burdensome task of making a living should be pointed out as a stark reality to the youth in our schools, but it would not be amiss to point out the value to every child the value of recognizing an obli gation in his youth that he might not consider it smart to shun obligations that are certain to be his in later life. In working for extra schooling we should not forget the big majority of boys and girls who are denied the four years of training now offer ed in the high schools of the State. Out of a to tal enrollment of more than 800 white children, the six white high schools in this county are graduating this week and next around 120 boys and girls. Evidently there is a greater need to have more boys and girls take advantage of the present system than there is for added educa tional facilities. The average taxpayer is willing to be taxed that the youth of the land might be educated, but he wants value received for his tax dollar. Facts That Speak For Themselves One million, one hundred and sixteen thous and cases of syphilis and one million and thir ty-seven thousand cases of gonorrhea come to the attention of the medical profession for the first time this .year, it was brought out a few days ago in hearings on the LaFollette-Bulwin kle veneral disease control bill before the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce com mittee. Syphilis costs the nation an estimated $41, 000,000 annually for the care of only the syphilitic blind and insane, it was also brought out at the-hearings. More than 60,000 infants were said to be born infected with syphilis each year and a consid erable number of Still births was caused by the disease, it was further pointed out in the hear ings. These facts speak for themselves, and offer in bold relief a condition that is probably far more serious than an unbalanced national bud get, war threats or a lack of confidence. These facts do not apply only to some other county or state; they apply to conditions right here in Martin County where preliminary sur veys show that one out of every three colored persons and about one out of every ten white persons are^victims of the disease. Bad Timing Charlotte News _ . - It is a striking illustration of the disjointed ness- of our times that Congress, after finally mustering the nerve to oppose the President's will, is asserting itself by overriding good leg islation, such as the reorganization bill, where as all the bad legislation is safely enacted. For instance, the President wrote Pat Harrison a note recently anent?the-newest tax?bill in which he said: "The repeal of the undistributed profits tax, and the reduction of the tax on capital gains to a fraction of'the tax on other forms of income strike at the root, of fundamental principles of taxation." ; - ? ' ? ' To this, Pat replied tersely that the Senate - would insist on the adoption of its amendments to the House bill. But the President is right The Senate amendments, if they are retairied, will favor the large stockholder in corporations at the expense of the small stockholder, the closely-held corporation at the expense of the widely-owned corporation. We shall have two income tax systems, one, that upon individual incomes, based on ability to pay, and the other, upon corporate incomes, based on ability to get out of paying. It is true that the Senate bill is the choice of business men, hence may have a stimulating effect. But it will be at the expense of uniform ity and consistency in taxation.

Margolis Brothers Barnhill Brothers Harrison Brothers Belk-Tyler Company Farmers Supply Co. Isn't this the real problem of Beer ?and almost its only problem? i THERE ARE people, of course, who stead fastly and sincerely believe beer to be intox icating, or its use sinful, harmful, or a first step toward use of "hard liquor." Just as sincerely we hold that the weight of the evidence is overwhelmingly against them...that beer is a mild, wholesome food beverage...and that "there is nothing more promising to combat the evil of too much alcohol than the opportunity of drinking good beer." No.. .it is not in beer itself, we believe, that its gravest problem lies, but in those condi tions, undesirable to us all, which sometimes surround its sale. How should that problem be handled .. . by brewers, by retailers, by consumers, and by the public authorities? On its handling, we believe, depends the ultimate success or failure of the art and science of brewing, with all its manifold contributions to human pleasure and happiness and to the farm and industrial welfare of this country. In that belief, a short time ago the Brewers Foundation was organized ... to align the brewing industry with forces working for the public good in this country. Our underlying motive ... to perpetuate and promote our industry ... is of course obvious. But equally obvious, we hope, is the fact that our interests coincide with the public interest. Important progress has been made. Brewer members of the Foundation already represent nearly half the production of beer and ale in the United States; and these members are pledged, individually and collectively, to the Brewer* Code, one significant clause of whicn is as follows: "We pledge our support to the duly con stituted authorities for the elimination of anti-eocial conditions wherever they may surround the sale of beer to the consumer." Being practical men, we promise no mira cles. We cannot immediately or effectively "police" the quarter-million points where' beer is sold (nor, to be fair, have we legal authority in many cases to do so). Nor can we, immediately, bring about full compliance with the law among all retailers, nor honest enforcement by all authorities. But a beginning has been made...and wc do promise that you will see results from it. a a a How far we can go, and how soon, depends very much on ourselves...but partly also on yon. Public opinion, once aroused, can operate to bring about honest enforcement of exist ing laws. Restriction of your patronage only to legal, respectable retail outlets can and will operate to raise retailing standards. Public preference for the products of Foun dation .members* twill bear witness of your approval both to members and to cooperat ing retailers, and will encourage them to renewed efforts. s sea This is, therefore, at once a statement of our objectives and an appeal for your support, without which we must fall short of our high hopes. Wc urgently invite your full and sympathetic cooperation. UNITED BREWERS INDUSTRIAL FOUNDATION 21 East 40th Street, New York, N. Y. .rfSiBfe, Correspondence is invited from groups and in dividuals everywhere who are interested in the brewing industry and its social responsibilities. ? ?M?I .MDBIfk 'Identified in the advertising of msmhert h this symbol.
