MARCH 11, 1933 DETERMINED TO CLEAN THINGS UP If the officials of the Chamber of Commerce and the Waynesville Board of AU.ermen have their way about things, the visitors who will come here this summer wil' find a spic and span little city, with flowers growing where weeds have formerly grown. Where dirty, unkept buildings have bee.i taking away from the beauty of the town, there will be a "ewly painted front and clean win dows, if they have their way.

We are glad to see the Chamber of Com merce and the town board unite in an effort t'i clean things up, and believe that they will stoo at nothimr short of seeing it. through. NATIVE MUSIC AND SONGS COULD HE POPULAR We might be wrong, but someone has an opportunity to make some easy money this seas on if they handle a needed situation correctly. Throughout the country this section is known for its native string music, and- mountain bal lads. Visitors coming here naturally expect to hear and .see a typical mountaineer band. For the past two years, at intervals, there has been staged here a series of dances for which the native musicians played; Some of the dance's were successful, and some were not. We don't feel that to stage just dances only with string music would pay neither do we feel that every time there is an exhibition of native mountain music that there should be a dance. There are many people who would en joy the ballads and music who would not attend a dance. So it seems that if some program could he arranged whereby all types of people could be pleased at seme time durintr the week that one event would tend to help the other. KISSING THE HIBLE IN OATHS Senate Hill No. 268 which would eliminate the requirement that the Holy Gospels be kiss ed whey oath is taken should pass. It is all right for people to love their Bibles to the point of kissing them at home. Moreover, it is all right to require people to place their hands on the Bib.e when taking the oath. But requiring a person to kiss the book is unsanitary and use less. If it meant the miscarriage of justice to the point of sacrificing life, we might favor kiss ing a book that had just been pressed against cancerous or otherwise diseased or filthy lips, but such is not the case. The act of kissing the book in no wise makes an oath more binding. Let this antiquated requirement be repealed. Marshall News-Record. OPEN AGAIN FOR BUSINESS For the benefit of those who have not been in the post office since last week, we mipht add that the two service windows that were closed by an inspector last Monday week were opened wide on Friday. No explanation was given for the closing, and the same statement for the re-opening. Eut the post office patrons are smiling again. A SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL YEAR Within a few weeks the schools of this county will begin closing and according to Jack Messer, superintendent of the schools, this will mark one of the most successful years in th-3 history of the schools. Epidemics have been at the lowest ebb in years. Schools have not had to close this year on account of epidemics, and the general health of the student. has been above the average. Credit for this is due to a large degree to the special efforts of the Health Department in kit ping a close check-up on the students and the sanitary conditions throughout the county. Another feature about the schools that has met with hearty approval by teachers, par ents and students was the installation of lunch rooms in many of the schools. The communi ties have in many instances united in seeina that the lunch rooms are provided. Where a check has been made it was found that the stu dents did better work after receiving hot nour ishing food than before. A few years ago to have even suggested -i lunch room in a school would have horrified ev.-n the most modern advocate of education, but today, it has been found to be essential, and well worth while. What few communities remain without the lunch rooms are becoming aware of the fact that to round out a school-year successfully it is almost necessary to have a lunch room. Random SIDE GLANCES By W.

Planners of security legislation in Wash ington propose 65 as the minimum age at which a person will be eligible for a pension. But a man may be too old for employment before he is old enough to get an old-age pension. Upton G. Wilson points out in The Reid.3 ville Review that a man there qualified in every particular for a job as farm census enumera tor. Then it turned' out that he was over GO years eld and the government turrted him down because of his age. Recent studies Inve :;liovn that eVci in the best years of tn past decade in the -industrial cities nil re men over )" lost jobs than could find jobs. Such workers, ilisnossed bt cause of ag, made a considerable element o1' the re: : i 4 he land. How i Id is old '.' Mortality statistics in dicate that science has been a bit- to extend the life expectancy of-. -nan but employment li'-ures seem to indicate that there is less and less em ployment for these longer-living men. There is a problem certainly for farmers of security legislation in the fact that econo mically men grow old and useless much more quickly in 'these times when men live longer and longer. If there is going to be true security for th; old, the employers and the pensioners must come closer together in determining how old a man must be to be old. Raleigh News and Observer.

It is an act of civiliza tion and good business to register birth certifi cates.. . Some of these reasons are the basis for the "Register- Ycur Baby" campaign, which is to be conducted in North Carolina during the next few weeks by the United States' Bureau of the Census, through the State Board of Health and with the aid of the State emergency relief ad ministration. The 13 major advantages of accurate birth registration follows: As evidence to prove the age and legiti macy of heirs. As proof of age to determine the validity of a contract entered into by an alleged minor. As evidence to establish age and proof of citizenship and descent in order to vote. As evidence to establish trie right to ad mission to the professions and to many public offices. As evidence of legal age to marry. As evidence to prove the claims of widows and orphans under the widows and orphans' pension law. As evidence to determine the liability of parents for the debts of a minor. i As evidence in the administration of es tates, the settlement of insurance and pensions. As evidence in the enforcement of law re lating to education and to child labor. As evidence to determine the relation's -of guardians and wards. As proof of citizenship in order to obtain a passport. As evidence in the claim for exemption from the right to jury and military service. If you are a parent you should cooperate in the campaign by giving such information as the State may request. Morganton News-Herald. .
