I.rft in thr laid A few days ago a widowed mother appear ed in a United States Compensation Commis sioner's court held in this county pleading for benefits from an insurance company as a re sult of the death of a son. It was pointed out that the $3 awarded her was the maximum allow ed by law under the circumstances. Two striking points were brought out dur ing the course of the hearing and by the court . at the close of the evidence The mother claim ed that her son for several years prior to his untimely death gave her around $5 or $6 week ly Rill ihe ciinit acting m accordance with the terms of the law. allowed her only $3 a week with the understanding that her lawyer's fee and part of the burial expense are to come out of that amount. The body of the dead son was identified. The company for whom the son nvorked had paid- its insurance premiums as dic tated by law It would appear that there was undisputed claim to the benefits. But to get those benefits $.! a week in this case- the serv ices of a lawyer were necessary. The insurance company, through its lawyer, apparently work ed to have all benefits denied the mother But there was no evidence that the insurance prem iums had not been paid. And then there is the other side of the cast1 It was well pointed out that the son had spent money freely upon himself, that he owned and operated a worn-out-automobile up until a short time before his death, and that his mother or no one else could have received much help from him after the Spendings had been deducted from his pay check which seldom averaged as much as $12 a week. But there is still another meaning to the case The law, as interpreted by the commissioner, only allowed the mother a small sum, develop ing a set-up that is likely to cost the taxpayers money while the insurance company is virtual ly excused of its responsibility. The mother is 53 years old. There are three minor children in the home. Should the mother fall ill, the three children will, more than likely, turn tTTthe wel fare department, and it is just such cases pos sibly of a little different type or nature that are boosting the budgets year after year. At the present time the mother and her small brood are out in the cold awaiting fate's next turn. The husband and father was killed in the logwoods about twelve years ago Benefits were paid in due course, but the reports would indi cate that the common working man's life is val ued low even in this highly civilized world of ours excluding Hitler's Germany. Mr. Ilory W oidd liong (In There's quite an interesting fight underway over North Carolina's membership on the Na tional Democratic Committee. Mr. Clyde Hoey, recent governor of this "great state," is bidding for the place, and Mr. Dick Reynolds, of Wins ton-Salem. is seeking the post. A Hoey supporter said the other day that Mr. Hoey had worked hard for the Democratic par ty in North Carolina. Mr Hoey and his support er are to be reminded that the people of this State settled with Mr Hoey when he got the governorship. They should also be reminded that Mr. Hoey has not supported the Democra tic Party outside of North Carolina with any great fervor, and if the curtain were rolled back on all his actions, those actions would be rec ognized as belonging more to Republicanism than to the real Democratic party of North Carolina. ' . Back yonder when the Democratic Party was facing a strong opposition. Dick Reynolds came to its rescue He did not bray about this "great I State of North Carolina", he met the issue as it should have been met North Carolina's government, to use the phrase of Professor O. J Peterson, has been re moved from the Shelby-Pittsboro axis It is hoped that it or any part of it will not be return ed so soon And it won't if the members of the State Democratic Executive Committee, includ ing our own Hugh G. Horton. act in accordance with the wishes of the people Mr. Reynolds, whatever his faults may be, if any, is entitled to the post regardless of what some say in the present Raleigh administration I hunt h.tlilorials I Hutchinson (Ka?.) Newt-Herald. William Allen White once said hi- had writ ten so many of them that he could 'compose editorials while falling from an airplane. Today the job isn't so easy The News-Herald doesn't hesitate to take its readers into confidence and explain why. The criticism one invokes is the least dis tressing aspect of the chore. A seasoned writer isn't surprised when the same paragraph causes If one reader to damn him as a dangerous radical and another to blast him as a moss-backed re actionary The most patriotic sentiments are , sometimes interpreted as treason, compliment ] jiry words sometimes bring anger from those they were designed to please. You get used to that The worry today is the writer's own inade quacy. Once it was the fashion for editor to pontifi cate, to write as if they were omniscient, ubi quitous prophets operating under divine guid ? ance for the direction of the multitude and the good of their particular political party. These editors were stuffed shirts. Their works were 1 tripe, often venal. Fortunately, most of them are now retired. If any survive, this war is enough to prick their bloat The honest editor knows he is only a half-edu cated cub whose livelihood demands he ex press so many opinions each issue. Habit has given him some facility, although his ease of style is often spawned by his lack of thought. The sad realization is accentuated by today's events Old standards and values crumble as disastrously as did the fortifications of the Ma gmot lane There seems no whole and practical wisdom anywhere. Some men can be blindly loyal to a rigid creed but not the writer whose job it is to investigate all sides. The editor, for instance, who swears by every plank of the Re publican platform and sees 110 good 111 the New Deal is of no value to the intelligent reader and has missed his calling. He should be a stump - speaker wrth-a sound truck What is a man to say now? We want peace for our country and yet we want to keep it worth having Try and find a perfect formula for that with Hitler loose in the world and be I cause of him men are crazed with fear and" ' greed strangely complicated by messianic am bition The editor has been kicked out of his sanc tum He can serve only with humility and be perversely cheered bv knowing what he savs may not be important, possibly won't even be read It must suffice he is honest with himself and knows his limitations. The world doesn't rest on his shoulders. He can be thankful for that. tHHi In grdat matters men show themselves as they wish to be seen; in small matters, as they are.?Gamaliel Bradford.

Extension cloth ing specialist of State College, that careful storage of winter clothing will reduce expenses next fall. "A coat, a dress, a sweater, or other ar ticles of clothing can easily be ruin ed in one warm weather period by moths and other insects." she de clared A pound of napthalene or para dichlorobenzene crystals, "scattered between thin layers of paper and placed at intervals in the clothing in a tight box or trunk will destroy any insects that may be present. Miss Hunter says. The chemicals are equally as effective for control of clothes moths and carpet beetles. All articles to be stored should first be thoroughly cleaned, brushed, aired and sunned to get rid of any stray eggs or larvae of the insects. In a closet that is kept tightly closed, a pound of either chemical to about 100 feet of closet space prevents in festation. The larvae of the insect causes damage to clothing and fur nishings containing wool hair, bris tles. fur, feathers and other animal substances. The extension specialist says it is easier to prevent carpet beetles and other insects than to kill them after they have infested a room or closet. In the routine of good housekeeping, rugs should be cleaned frequently on both sides to get rid of carpet bee tles. Killing floor cracks with a good filler eliminates hiding places and makes housekeeping simpler.
