FARM BENEFITS TO
CONTINUE
The President's budget message
does not recommend continuation of
the present benefits being paid to
the farmers of the nation. This has
aroused some of the Congressmen
from farm areas, who insist that
agricultural benefits be maintained
at their present level
This brings to mind the insistent
agitation of Secretary Wallace that
some method be adopted to provide
funds for farm payments outside of
the Federal Treasury. Whether there
will be a form of the abandoned pro
cessing taxes, or some other method
of raising funds, is uncertain. No
new taxes are expected this year but
farm benefits will continue and new
tares will come later if necessary.
- CONGRESS SEEKS
ECONOMY
Just about the time that the na
tion begins to worry about the
budgetary problems of the Federal
? Government, word comes from
Washington that Congress is con
sidering the appointment of a spe
cial committee to study the subject
independently of the executive de
partment V
This is interesting. We have never j
pinned much hope in economy, a la
Congress, but you never can tell.
Maybe the boys will cut the money
going to farmers, to those on relief,
the veterans and other well organ-1
ized groups that look tc the Treas
ury for funds. This may happen
but we will have to see it first and
we do not expect to see it in an elec- i
tion year. *
Balancing the budget is extremely
simple. Just forget about the un
employed, the plight of the farmers,
the need for adequate defense and
other functions that the public de
mands. The budget will automati
cally be balanced, it will stay bal
anced until another election day rolls
around and then a new set of legis
lators will unbalance the budget.
DRUNKEN DRIVERS
DANGEROUS
Thousands of good people will be
killed on the highways of the United
States before the year 1940 ends.
There seems to be little public in
dignation over the slaughter. The
average automobile driver, acquaint
ed with the natural hazards of the
road, hesitates to incite drastic pen
alties through the fear that some un
avoidable catastrophe will land him
in the hooee-gow.
I Therewas atimewhe^nign
speeds were blamed for most of the
accidents but the pears have pro
I duced better cam and higher speeds.
I What would have been criminal eare
I lesaness in the twenties is considered
? Teeenawable safe in tile forties and
tswtj years from now the danger
ous speeds of today may be routine.
I These are certain recognized crim
I inal acts in connection with motor
vehicles, however, that will continue
to be condemned. Driving an aato-l
mobile under the influence of aleohol
is an example. It is dangerous, not
only to the driver but to all who use
the highway. It should be severely
punished and yet, in many instances,
convictions are hard to secure and
punishment is avoided.

groans at this season, particularly, I
and call attention of readers to thai
following paragraph, clipped from J
The News and Observer: -
Carolina Calendar
One of the most mournful marks I
of the pre-Christmsa season is the I
sight of the depredations . being I
made on the berry-bearing trees and I
shrubs. Automobiles, carts and wa-1
gons carry off the broken and tan-1
gled loot to the town markets or to I
the railroad stations, where it is ship-1
ped to the big cities. The holly off
course is the worst sufferer, since its I
shining berries have been so long I
associated with Christmas decora-1
ttons. This is particudarly unfortu-j
??te, since the holly is a slow grow- I
f and reproduces itself with diffi-1
culty. Its seeds often take two years
to sprout, and even its transplanted!
roots will take hold only when the!
conditions are just right Several!
states give the protection of the law I
to plants growing along the high- J
ways. North Carolina, for instance,!
has a special prohibition in this re-1
gard. Nevertheless,' raiders travel-!
ling in cars find it easy to ignore!
j the signs posted on the roadside, and j
! the red-berried holly is driven into
remote swamps while the yellow-ber-1
ried variety is all but extinct

Ton owe it to yourself and family
to associate with the best people of
your community. Associating with]
the best people will add to your so
cial culture, general knowledge, give
one greater poise and prevent the
lowering of one's ideals. It keeps one
toned up.
The beet people yon will find am at
church.
Again, by asadmolating these high
er thoughts and motives, one's "ego"
is deflated. Many people who never
go to church, spend much valuable
time parading their excellencies (oth
ers never seem to see them). One
spiritual insight will kill, like frost a
delicate flower, the spirit of the Phar
isee, who thanked God- for his great
ness, and give instead, the spirit of
the Publican, who prayed, "God be
merciful to me a sinner."
Once more, your influence will al
ways be on the right side of life's
road. Thus you preach by example
the best sermon man can devise.
