With pro pel- sponsorship Sheriff Meek ins'
proposal -would do much to advertise the moun
tains and tilt coastal country and bring to native
'lar Heels .a new interest and realization of the
wonders of the Old North State.
I lit- above was written bv P. I). McLean
in The State, and the idea set forth is one that,
is worthy of serious consideration.
Jus: off hand we are of the opinion that
the Southern Railway has a splendid oppor
tunity of putting on a special excursion to the
coast for those who have never seen the ocean.
('('( WORKERS REVOLT
News ;lispa;ehes a few days ago told of a
rebellion in a Civilian Conservation Corps camp
in Maine when two hundred and fifty workers
objected to .their tiaiisler to camps m Virginia
and Maryland. .
The voting men who have been given em
ployment and training by the : governmen:
when they could not obtain jobs anywhere else,
showed their, appreciation by. attacking their
officers. locl:mr them in the baggage car and
blocking all elfi ts to move their train for more
than three hours. - A squad of one hundred and
fifty policemen'- can. to the camp to, restore
order and their arrival sobered the rebellious
workmen, who subsequei..'y left under the con.
tro-1 of their own officers.
: - Such an incident is significant. - These
young men evidently do not fee! hat the Govern:!-."!.,
'hi them ai;y favor in giving them
jobs, feeding and training them, therefore they
had a right to decide for tin:':.. ' es exactly
where they should work. What the. Govern
ment should do in a case like this, is. to expel,
: from the work those responsible for such con-.
duct and bar them from further participation
m anv assisfance fronvtiio federal Government.
(.HEAT lOLNDVTIONS INTUT
Appreciating the great good that has been
accomplished m this country bv the several
Rockefeller foundations, the Carnegie funds and
other similar gifts for the benefit of the people,
we have sometimes wondered how their capital
funds withstood the shock of depression losses.
Happily, the figures are at hand, compiled
in a survey that included fourteen funds. In
1933 ledger value of their assets were $548,
000,000, or $4,000,000 more than in 1930. This
is gratifying news to those who are cognizant
of the splendid work accomplished by these
funds during: the past.
BUSINESS PLANS FORWARD STEP
The information comes from Washington
that leaders of private business in many fields
have determined something should be done
to shorten bread l:r.e. in this country and that
private business .-nould do it.
XT a lesuit :' the recent election, with its
vote of confidence in '.he administration, these
leaders realize t there will be no immediate
change in ;a'l.'.c policies and that, in order to
prevent further objectionable legislation, it is

No inhabitants at all:
Not so bad, until the day
Rescue boats took you away;
Someone said that, if I'd learn .
To be friendly, they'd return-
Said that people seldom knew "

HIS RELATIVES TESTIFY
"Pretty Boy" Floyd, outstanding outlaw of
Oklahoma, was recently shot to death bv Fed
eral ofheers. lie had lived a life of crime and
death and he perished in the midst of his evil
career.
After his death his mother, usually the
last person to give up said, "he has reaped his
reward,"' but added, "my boy was not bad at
heart; he warned all boys to steer clear of
crime." It was pathetic, however, that he did
not take his own advice.
The wife of this outlaw has been capitaliz
ing on his criminal record, having made a vaud
eville tour during the past summer telling aud
iences that "crime doesn't pay." When she
found that her husband had been killed, without,
tears she said: "I-have nothing to say. lie's
dead and I loved .him." A brother, working in
an Oklahoma oil field, expressed the. opinion
that. "1 guess its better as it is."
Wild youth who might be attracted by the
spectacular' exploits of the - Oklahoma outlaw ,
should reflect upon the testimony of three of
his nearest relatives. Crime does not pay and
produces, sorrow for all connected with the ,
criminal. ',
the doctor said
"Oh, there ain't no patient, I just
wanted the ride, the taxi man wanted
to charge me S3. 50 to fetch me home."

Uncle Abe, seemingly, is the most
prosperous member of the staff, since I
he is the only one that smokes cigars.
Or at least I thought it was cigars
until the boys in the shop began com
plaining about missing rope from the
block and tackle contraption that is
used in lowering and raising pages to
the press room. I thought there Was
something queer smelling about his
smokes all the time, but I was too
modest to complain. The rope in the
shop, Uncle Abe, is for mechanical
use only.
Mrs. V. T. Craw-ford -once wrote an
article by request, for a national maga
zine and her photograph was used with
the article. 1 he managing editor put
"Miss" ; Crawford instead of "Mrs."
Crawford under the picture, and do
you know she; had several : proposals
of marriage , by mail as the result of
that mistake? ...

CHILDREN FREFKR ATHLETICS
; Adults who wish to help children might
do well to follow the example of the civic com
mittee of Englewood. N. J., which sent out a
questionnaire to 1,500 grade and junior high
school pupils to discover what the children pre-'
f erred in the ; way of movie entertainment.; .
.'The' .surpris'e was that the answer reveal
ed a preference for athletics instead of the
movies if given their choice- of. something; to
do alter school hours. This indicates that
adults would do well in I lav wood County if they
see that children here have adequate opportune
itv for athletic games, with proper facilities
for safe and supervised play.

Our own little puzzle : Where do all the bugs

Maybe, what this country really needs is a

Speaking of liquor,, but I. ;oad tills
Week how some of tiie thousands of
filling stations in the state, are ex
isting. . What seems to be. a perfect
legitimate' station, with . gas. in the
punips so you can see it and all. but !
it is not gas, but pure liquor. If a
customer drives up a'.i.l orders gas the
station attendant tells, them he can't I
sell , the gas because there's Water , in j
it, and politely refers the liiotorist'to
the next station. , I
' BUT if the motorist knows the kind !
of "gas" kept in the tanks, and the!
operator knows , the motorist,, then a
sale is made.
As a rule I never buy gas from little
stations unless in cases of emergency,
but I have a hankering to try, and find
one of the "Water in the gas". types.

The "S. 0. S." Behind The Lines
I'h.sician and nurses form the front line forces in
the endless battle against sickness, but behind the lines
there is another essential unit, fighting just as hard and
tfnstient.oush as those at the front.
(ontpi ;,.,. this unit are the ethical pharmacists,
the "Sen ice Mippiy" cn ps. on whom doctors and nurses
must lely for ammunition in the shape of medicines and
serums.
Alexanders is -justly proud of their reputation for
dependability and speed in supplying this demand.
