THREE MILLION ARE I JOBLESS IN LONDON i London, Eng ? "Alarm is being ex pressed in government circles at the continued increase in unemployment," declares the Daily Herald, the organ of the Trades Union Congress and Labor Party. i The number of registered unem ployed is 2,811,782, which is 98,432 more than a year ago. To these must be added those not on the register, making a total probable increase of 250,000, which brings the unemploy ment up to more than 3,000,000. "One consequence of the increase," the Herald said, "is that the 'econo mies' hoped for as the result of the means test and other restrictions have not been realized. "A committee of representatives of local authorities is at work at the request of the Minister of Health in vestigating possible measures of eoon omy in local expenditures. "One proposal, put forward by a committee of municipal officers, in volves an extension of the poor law means test. The effect would be that able bodied persons driven by the un employment means test to seek poor relief would still have to be main tained by their relations. "At present that obligation applies only when the recipient of relief is a s:ck or aged person. " arge numbers of able bodied un employed persons have had to seek pe , law relief as the result of the pr sent means test. Now the idea is that even if they get such relief, their relatives, wherever they live, shall be called on to send money. This sug gestion is among those being consid ered by the economy committee of the local authorities." WIDOWS7 PEMHON RACKET IS WORKED One of the wisest steps taken by the late Congress was the passing of legislation to prevent the granting of widow's pensions to women marrying Civil and Spanish-American war vet erans after 1905 and 1922, respec ively. But the bill didn't go far enough for it should have set a similar date for the World War veterans. The widow's pension business has been something of a racket at the fed eral expense for almost a century. Young girls married aged -veterans of (he war of 1812 and of the Mexican War with the assurance that they would get a pension for life after their husbands died. They did, and the government and the taxpayers were the goats. For example, the treasury still pays pensions to nearly 500 widows of Mex ican War veterans, although not a single veteran of that war is now a live. If Congress doesn't take some ac tion. the taxpayers wilt still be bur dened with World War widows' pen sions in the year 2000. ? Gastonia Ga zette. REV. PAUL HARTSELL TO PREACH NEXT SUNDAY Rev.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK IN OCTOBER Beginning with the 1932 Fire Pre vention week, let us determine to cat the American fire waste, which runs about ?500,000,000 a year, in half. That is the suggestion in an article n .Safeguarding America Against ?ire. The American people could take ipon themselves no finer project. In hat seems a small matter in the light these days of distress, a half-billion dollar waste is unthinkable, and even of the; fact that fire destroys 10,000 iives annually. This year fire prevention week will je observed from October 9 to IB. It vill open with proclamations from the President of the United States and vom governors of states, mayors of cities and other officials. Chambers of Commerce, fire departments, trade ?.ssociations and state fire prevention groups will give every effort, to in structing the public in fire hazards and their elimination. Each of u^ v:il have the chance to learn, pleas antly and painlessly! If we fail, we have shirked a duty to the conimu ? 'lity- . , Every fire reaches into every pocK | otbook? threatens every piece of ? property in the community ? endang -rs every life. It is a tragic, an un | rtecessary waste. It is only made pos ; ^ible by thoughtlessness, laziness, and gnorance. It can be stamped out by :hought and care. Do your part! "ARE OF TEETH OF GREAT IMPORTANCE t ' There is a vital relation between i the mouth and systemic' disease. Eighty-five per cent of the children I in the public schools of the State have unhealthy mouths ar.d need dental attention, according to the Division of Dentistry of the State Board of Health. When we realize lhat all the food that goes into ^he ?hild's stomachl must pass through his mouth, then we see the necessity >f the child having a clean mouth. A State School Dentist, connect od with the State Board of Health :s in Ti-ansylvania County for a >eriod of four weeks for the pur -lose of putting on a Mouth Health education program. During this ime the school dentist will teach fcuth Health, with the aid of plast v models, chalk drawings and charts, ind will work in the mouths of as --any children as is possible, first shewing them their mouths in a mir -or, correcting the defects by clean 'r.g, filling and extracting, and again showing the child his mouth after the defects have been correct ed. This we call teaching by example, ~r "visual education," which is the ?nest powerful of all teaching. It will b? impossible in the length of time the school dentist will be in the county to do all that every child needs. In fact, it is not the purpose of the program. The purpose of the program is to teach Mouth Health. Due to the limited time in the county, numbers of children will have their mouths examined and will be refer red to their local dentist for dental correction. Insofar as possible every ?hild in the grammar grades will lave his mouth examined by the school dentist and the parents of those in need of immediate attention will be notified through the mail. In case you receive such a notice we hope you will consider it of sufficient mportance to take the child to your family dentist because children with broken down teeth and gum boils are sick and cannot do the same work in school as if they were well.

Claridge, .assistant forester in charge o 1 reforestation, points out in contrasting the state's progress along this line with that of other stetes. Since the establishment of the statp forest nursery by the department of conservation and development about six years ago, the forest plantings ag gregating about 2,758 acres have been made in North Carolina Claridge said. The forester estimated that some 2,500,000 acres of land in North Car olina now idle should be returned to forest growth. It is further estimated ' that about 1,500,000 acres of land in the state are only partly productive. A recent report of the United States forest service listed 138,970 acres re forested in the country in 1930. i Michigan led all states in planting and putting idle lands back to work ' growing timber, with plantings by all agencies of 47.2G4 acres. New York i reported 38,564 acres reforested and Pennsylvania 17,825. HORNED TOAD IS TOWN'S | LATEST ACQUISITION Mr. William Edmond Breese has a new pet.

The present state standard was modeled in 1885 and consists of a blue union, the center containing a whit star with the letter "N" in gilt on the left and the letter "C" in gilt on the right of the star. The fly of the flag consists of two equally proportional bars, the upper ; red and the lower white. I Above the star in the center of the , union is a gilt scroll in semicircular form, containing in black the inscrip . tion "May 20, 1775," and below *he star is a similar scroll containing the date, "April 12, 1776." The first date marks the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence and the second marks | the day of Halifax convention. Mr. and Mrs. J. C .Everroad, of Atlanta, spent Labor day with Misses Edith and Josephine Mull on Depot street. ? COMESAYS PAPER i ? _ Incident to the rise in farm com modity prices, the Charleston Kows and Courier, pertinently -voices a homely truism for. the benefit of the South Carolina farmers, a truth th*t iiiet as aptly applies to farmers in all the other Ktaten: "There vrHl be no lasting prosperity in South Carolina, v.'hether cotton sells at 8 cents or 40 cents a pound, unless the people shall live w;thin their incomes, lay up some thing for a rainy day, practice the rules of economy and prudence that were known when Abraham, Isaac and Jacob shepherded their fiocV.s a ad that have never been repealed." Hindsight is always better than forsight How different things might have been in these last tiir^^aurs of depression hRd the farmers, had we all, adhered more closely to the an cient rules of economy and prudence that the wise men of olden times prac ticed ? sane and natural economic laws, which, as our discerning can temporary asserts "have never been repealed." And the Charleston paper might have added, these laws will not be repealed ? not so long as man must earn his living by the sweat of his brow. ? Greensboro Record.

Galloway Reg. of Deeds. I ASK the PRICE | of PURINA | BEFORE you decide on any laying mash this fall, ask the price of Purina. Perhaps you haven't heard how low' che Purina Laying Chow price is today. You'll be surprised at how little it costs to get the best. * Today's bargain price on Purina is so welcome just at this time. If your hens and pullets ever lay, they must do so these next few7 months when eggs will make money. The family pocketbook needs that egg money a good mash will provide. * Any old mash or just grain might get a few eggs in summer but it takes a mash built to make eggs to get eggs from now on. You know, just as your father before you knew, that Purina Laying Chows have always been built to make eggs. But your father never bought Purina at such a low price or got so many eggs in the bqg as you'll get this fall and winter. ?>> ????> ?> ?$??$????
