BENEFACTOR ... Willis Abbot Willis Abbot has passed on. His loss means much to a vast number of humans. He was the Contributing Editor and one of the guiding spir its of that great international daily newspaper, the Christian Science Monitor. His daily column, "Watch ing the World Go By," was one of the most readable as well as one of the most uplifting features appear ing in any newspaper. It reflected the wisdom, the kindness and the tolerance of a man who lived for 71 years and spent all of his lifetime in journalism. Mr. Abbot had a varied and inter esting career. He had worked on newspapers in every part of the Uni ted States, knew everybody, so to speak, and was literally beloved by all who knew him. He was held in such high esteem in his profession that it is not overstating it to term him the Dean of American journal ism. He probably did more useful service to his profession than any other man of recent times, and he was in a real sense, through his \ writing, a benefactor of humanity. I have lost a personal friend, but the world has lost a great man. PANTHEON . ... gigantic figure In ancient Greece there stood a "Temple of all the Gods," to which the name of "Pantheon" was given. The Romans had their pantheon, in which the memories of their nation al heroes were preserved. Now the heroes of the Great War have a Pantheon of their own. It is the gigantic painting, said to be the largest ever put on canvas, in which the portraits of 6,000 soldiers and statesmen of the Allied and Asso ciated powers are shown, life-size.

Accessories President's Son Drives Ford V-8 " 1 M mlm&smm&lm&Wz rrmm u Like many another man who lovea the open air, Jamea Roosevelt, Boston bualnesa man and aon of the President, favors motor cars of the sport type. Mr. Rooaevelt la pictured above with his Ford V-8 de luxe phaeton. The top la down and the car Is ready for a run through the New England countryside, now beautiful In the first warm days of spring. Mr. Roosevelt not only drives his Ford V-8 ds luxe phaeton, but also owns a Ford V-8 cabriolet, which can be closed in when the weather is Inclement- against a background of the battle lelds of France. This great painting, the "Pan heon de la Guerre," is one of the nost interesting features of the Century of Progress at Chicago. The artists who painted it from life n Paris are dead; most of the he roes whose forms and memories are :hus perpetuated are dead; but the Mcture itself is a living reminder of he great men who did not hesittate o risk and give their lives for their nations and for the cause in which hey believed. Talk as one may against war, here is a nobility of self-sacrifice or the common good which is never attained by docile non-resistance to ppression. ROADS and relief The idea seems still to prevail in ome regions that all that is needed o make a good road is to shovel THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA jome dirt on it. I took my car the other day for a tour around the back roads of the country around my farm. The CWA had been get ing in its work, and the result is .hat many rural drives which have always been passable and pleasant are now so difficult to drive over that one has no time to admire the scenery. Shoveling sand irom one side of the road to the other side of the road for anywhere up to $24 a week seems to me to be a poor way to employ men. It has confirmed a good many chronic loafers in their philosophy of life, which is that if you don't do any work someone will see to it that you get enough to eat and a place to sleep. As I have said before in this col umn, one effect of the lack of intel ligence shown in the distribution of relief funds seems to me to be the creation of an army of bums, who never will work at anything that calls for real labor. FUTURE still bright I had a telegram the other day from President Sloan of the Gener al Motors inviting me to be a guest at a dinner he was giving in Chica go to hear eminent scientists dis cuss the future of industry. I couldn't go, but was greatly im pressed with what Mr. Sloan said in his message: "I have been concerned with the thinking of many who believe that our progress in this world is fin ished; that we must retrogress; that there are.no worthwhile possi bilities ahead; that we must live merely by dividing up • available I Jobs and that we must accept a j lower standard of living." That, of coursef is not true. Mr. Sloan set out to prove It untrue by I opening up the vista of the future i possibilities and certainties in store for the advancement of humanity's economic condition. . . Only half-baked theorists who , think the world began about the , time they were born really believe . that an end has come to human - progress. Such theorists have said I that in every age from time im- | memorial, yet we have been and , still are steadily progressing toward ! the ultimate goal when no one shall I want for any material benefit he { requires. - ' IS ji WINTER .... its aftermath 11 The severest winter ev6r known in the Northeastern part of the United States, followed by the lat- j est Spring for many years, has not I done quite so much damage as had ; been feared. In the last week in May farmers in northern New Eng land had not finished their Spring i plowing, and traces of frost still re-1 mained in the ground in manyi places. Crops will be short and late. But there turns out to have! been little damage to native trees,, plants and shrubs, deriving from strains which probably have become acclimated over hundreds of years. J The chief sufferers have been the flowers and ornamental shrubbery j imported from warmer climes. One magnificent rose-garden belonging! to one of my wealthy neighbors, j covering four or five acres, is al- j most a total loss. California privet in hedges is almost completely de stroyed everywhere north of New; Jersey. My own climbing roses were! winter-killed, but the hardy garden | roses, covered in the Fall with pine boughs and then protected by the | deep snow, survive, as do the peonies l and most of the other flowers. My own heaviest loss was the killing of all my quince trees, which I were a rarity in our neighborhood, i But the lilacs are blooming as pro- j fusely and fragrantly as ever. Ford Motor Company Announces Reduction: Detroit, Mich., June 19.—Reduc tions of $lO to sls in list prices of 1934 Ford V-8 passenger cars and $lO to S2O in list prices of Ford V-8 commercial cars and trucks were an nounced last week by the Ford Mo tor Company effective Friday, June 15. Ford prices had remained un changed since the introduction of the 1934 Ford V-8 last December, the Ford Motor Company not having participated in the recent general automotive price increase. The re ductions announced are, therefore, a decrease in the original prices. The price reduction on the stand ard and de luxe Tudor Sedans, most, popular individual models in point of sales, is sls. Prices of other standard and de luxe types were re duced $lO, except prices of the Roadster, Phaeton and Cabriolet, de luxe types, which remain unchanged. Both standard and de luxe passenger cars have the same V-8 engine and 112 inch wheelbase chassis. Body, types for both are identical except I for the de luxe equipment. To Hold Singing At Little Richmond Church There will be a singing conducted at Richmond Hill Baptist church, in Yadkin county the first Sunday in July from 2 until 4 o'clock in the af ternoon.

Oak Ridge, Union Grove, Friendship, Level Cross and Richmond Hill and quartets from Elkin and Winston-Salem are expected to be present. It is re quested that those owning copies of the New Heaven hymn book bring them to the meeting. The public is cordially invited to attend. Primitive Baptist Assodational Meeting The associational meeting of the Primitive Baptist churches in this section will be held with the State Road Primitive Baptist church, be ginning Friday, July 6, and contin uing through Sunday, July 8. All members of the denomination are requested to attend the services. STOPS GAME—AND HIS LIFE Chicago—Anthony Anicich, 51, made good his threat to stop a night baseball game which interfered with his sleep, but it cost him his life. Only hoots greeted him as he urged the youths, who had gath ered under his window last night to benefit from the illumination of a corner street lamp, to play else where. Finally, his patience exhausted, Anicich seized an iron poker and told memoers of his family he'd stop the game—he'd smash the light. With the poker, he scooted to the top of the 25-foot wooden pole. The poker described a vicious arc, shat tered the light, and contacted a high tension wire. Anicich toppled from the pole, electrocuted. £>«• Euiuljied .
