Men of character and good judgment possessing the natural lit. ness lor rendering lair and impartial verdicts will resort to manv llimsv excuses to evade serv ing on the mrv. Even under these circumstances thev will criticize, and in some instances abuse, those who ire w lllmg to serve, and the decision ol the court m various cases. The average citizen Ininks that he can't atlord to be away trom his business two ur three days or perhaps a week, and spend the tune in a .niry box at small pay. because of the danger ot tinaneial loss The probable loss such service entails tonus a barrier between him and his community ami he forsakes duty to moid making the 'financial sacrifice. Tins attitude on the part of capable men of every comnuuntv olten results in the jury box being: filled with men not fitted to per. lorm their duties as jurors. This failure of good citizens- to shoulder their responsibilities is but one of the hindr ances to proper law enforcement. Not all the blame can be placed on the officers sworn to en. force the law. They can't do it alone. They must have moral backing. Reidsville Review. he mountameei' preacher. 'I he J I 'ST A YARN Just' how true the .-tory is that to our attention recently we don't know, but there is at least one thing that can be .-aid about it, and that is, it certainly give.-, a picture of what most of us have gone through during the past tew years. The story goes something like thi-. Somewhere in these hills there lived a mountaineer and his family of four in a little three-room house in a most isolated spot. The small house only afforded enough room for his family. One day he received a message that his father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother, in-law were coming to pay an extended visit, Under the circumstances the farmer was somewhat puzzeled as to how he could provide comfortably for them. In the neighborhood there lived a preacher who was constantly being sought by those in trouble, and his advice was sought by the mountaineer as to what to do. The preacher advised the mountaineer to give his in-laws a cordial welcome, and to come back a week later and let him know how he wa making out. The mountaineer carried out the preacher's imtructions and at the end of the- week mad'.' his report, which was that they were rather crowded in the small house. Much to the sur prise of the. farmer, the preacher instructed him to move hi.s cow in Hie house with his family and in-laws, and to report back within a week as to how -things were going. The cow was moved into the already cramp ed quarters and things Went along smoothly, ami at the end of the week again made his report to the preacher was told by the mountaineer that with hi family, the cow and in-laws, that he and hi I'aimlv were cramped more than ever in their small living quarters, whereupon the preacher told the farmer to go back home and move his goal into the house. The farmer couldn't under stand wiry, but went his way to move- in the goat and to report back to the preacher within a week. That week-end he reported to the' preach-! er and was told to move' the goat out and to come hack next week and tell him how he I'd; . Tire in xl week the 'fanner -returned to the preacher smiling: saving that thing's were some belter since the goat had 'been -moved out. He I lien returned home to take the cow Irom the house and place her back in her stable. After a week without Hie cow in t he house . the larmer reioicuig went to the preacher and said, "We ain't at all crowded now, with jtist my lannlv ol lour and three ni-laws. everything is all right now. and were cniovmg our in laws. As we said before, there might not be much to that story as far as truth is concerned, but (lure is a moral to it which might lie summed up, things are never as bad as thev might have been. At least the larmer visited his preacher once a week --perhaps that is Hie true moral ol t he w hole storv.

Dr. Angell declared that rl the recovery ell oris tail then something more drastic tn;iv well succeed it. lor men will not indefinitely toler ite the continuation, much less the repeti tion ol the hopeless mess our .earlier economic and political systems have landed us in. ' This is plain language, not from a wile-eved radical, but Irom one d the sanest ol our I mversitv pi esident s. Dr. Angell pointed out that in this age ot transition Irom an individualistic and compeli. iive system to one ot government control, it is 'incumbent on the universities to stand linn m defense- ot t he ' imperishable things of the spirit." I he NUA is not a cure-all for the evils ot the depression, but it is a start in the right direction. Its purpose is to. put men back to work and to pav them a living wage. It is onlv an entering wedge and the Roosevelt Admin, ist ration now recognizes this fact. Too much was expected of it at the beginning, and uist now the farmer not only isn't sharing in its benefits but is actually suflering as a result of it, tor the rise in prices of the products he sells hasn't kept pace with the rise of prices for the things he buys. That problem must also be solved, but there can be no turning back on the NRA. That, as President Angell says, must con. tinue.
