Al'Cl ST 20, V.)Ui Money Safe As far as the banks arc cniieenietl money has been mighty safe during the past '11 months. accurdiiiK to the I'YiIeral Deposit Insurance Corporation, which recently re ported that there has not lieen a single bank failure in the United States in the past 27 months. Money, we' are sure, has slipped through many careless hands during that period, since it has flowed in the mightiest stream it has ever been recorded in this nation. It may not have been safe in the hands of the indi vidual, it has evidently been so in the custody of our banks. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation also reports that of 11,7 10 banks in operation on June lid, l-'i.-Vid or D'J per cent, with de posits approximating' $1."0, ()(), (H)IU()( were insured by it, which gives a lot of stability to banking1 circles ns well as confidence to the depositors. Encouraging The official organ of the State Highway and Public Works Commission of this state, recently published the following editorial on the status of the Illue Kidge Parkway in this .section. The encouraging feature of editor ial, is that Chairman A. II. (iraham is listed as among those "concerned with the future" of the Parkway. The editorial is as follows: The lilue Ridge Parkway, first of its type and scale, when completed will thread through 48") miles of eastern America's most beautiful mountain scenery from the Shen andoah National Park in Virginia to the Great .Smoky National Park in North Caro lina and Tennessee. The scenic drive averages :'. in feet above sea level and more than :() miles of the federally-financed project had been brought to various stages of completion prior to the war. In North Carolina the parkway enters at Cumberland Knob Park in Alleghany county and winds 271 miles through the mountains across the state to Newfound Gap in the Great Smoky Park where the road dips into Term, ssee. The parkway is open to travel-hungry Americans from the Virginia line down to near Asheville with the exception of sections of the parkway near Blowing Rock and Mt. Mitchell. There is a detour on paved state highway around the uncompleted Plowing Rock section. lloweyer, the fate of the proposed iMi-mile section between N. C. GO 1 northeast of Ashe ville to N. C. 107 south of Smokemont in the Great Smoky Park has troubled many inter ested North Carolinians. One of them, Chairman A. II. Graham of the Commission went to Washington last week to seek support for completion of the parkway route as approved by Harold L. Ickes when he was Secretary of the Interior. The Chairman returned with encouraging news that Senator Clyde K. Hoey, a congres sional champion of the parkway in North Carolina, has voiced his active support for completion of the project. The Senator's interest and support in the parkway is already well-known. Only re cently he pushed through Congress a boost in ' parkway appropriations from $7,500,000 to $11,500,000. Although many people are not acquainted with the postal laws enough to know better, chain letters and postal cards are illegal and persons who write them expose themselves to prosecution. .Many of these letters ;.,-e o'i su'.j"cts of religion, but a postal official .;(? that "there are no exceptions insular ;i the federal government is concerned."

The Secret Is Out We have read much aiioii! t he an it in!,- of Russia toward this country. ! i i v. it. are suspicious and have taken the at'it'id that we may expect an.vl liing iVoin Ku -i.i the future. Most nf them hne wriM-n 1 r. . i what others have reported. Harper's Magazine .sent a reporter lo tii.i the situation and he has at last pi net raled "Russia's iron curtain" and found that, of all things, it is fear that imperialistic fa-ci-m may be spawning in the United Slates today. Some of the facts cleared up by the Har per reporter reveal that Stalin does not run a one-man show government, as most of p have been thinking, but lhal he takes or'! ! from a 1 l-man conl rol grou i. It was brought out thai it will be at least II) more years before certain areas eel back to pre-war condit ions. Russia's approach to international affairs stems from insecurity.' and they are afraid of foreign at lack: and that the attack, they believe will come from Die United States. The Russians, it seems, are certain that the United Stales will not be able lo pr .-n' an economic boom and another deer - ". This, they feel, will see the I :;'!. of m American dictator, violently anli-lbi who will want to invade n Hitler diu. To most of us here in America t la ;r ,;,-.,, ing sounds fantastic and we llu ik ; conl not happen here. Rut we have lo admit thai it is not a cheerful thought to l'i .

It is up to us now to dispel such ideas and the quicker the better, for all concern', d. Far Reaching Did You Know That - "BUSINESS AS USUAL" : - i iyfm WAR?"

Sanders. ,.f the t'ui versity, that one-half of the iuv.'ii:' delinquents who have apieai'ed in N'mlh Carolina courts during the pa-i five ye u-s have come from broken homes. Dr. Sanders has been making a study nt' juvenile delinquency for the -date di-i.a-'-ment of public welfare. Records ot th-- mar ital status of parents were availao'.- in S..', is of the 12.02-1 individual delinquent s handled by the juvenile courts in (he - late from .lidy 1. 10."0, through .lime :',0. I'd ! I. "The principal conclusion which v.v hiy drawn in this survey." Dr. Sanders observed, "is that any forces which tend 'o preserve , the family life in a community 1 nd to pre vent juvenile delinquency as w. II." Divorce, separation and desertion account ed for 1(.. per cent of the broken home.-, the report shows. In ID.!) per cent the father was dead, and in 8.1 per cent the mother v.a dead. Both parents were- dead in b. I per cent of the cases. Rural delinquents came from broken homes in 18..". per cent of the cases, while city delinquents have a broken home rate of 51.7 per cent. The question always comes up of the re sponsibilitV of the parents to the child as against their own relations, and personal happiness. There is much to be said on both sides, for a child reared in an unhappy atmos phere is bound to have unstable emotional -reactions. They are torn in their loyalty between their affection for both mother and father. The remedy goes back to the court ship days when more time and thought should be given to whether or not the couple have the qualities that will make for the deadly routine of every day living. It takes more than romance to establish matrimony on a sound permanent basis. iialb lunched his Iragic era , ibmi'i i I her I hey have given us s,- ni inle sidelights (hat we i ei ' ;c, ni eil from Ihe newspap i s ,nii .i i-ei sini.il touch that al- ,is remain in our memory we .. v e -1 cii i iii' I ar corners of the .ft h -1 coiid handed, and have i ll in . ..a el.il ions to t he men in - ; n i a nd I heir I am i I ies a close i 1 -' ' i : !

The de struction in Germany is beyond realization here in America. The Hollywood gin rummy swin dle was turned up by a cub reporter (Los Angeles Eximiner) on his 1st assignment.
