At least Japan had to do a little fighting for what she took. Hitler didn't. It all amounts to this: Japan has her pie and is telling the cockeyed world that she doesn't need anybody to help her eat it. Now if the government will see to it that everybody works 44 hours every week, we will be getting somewhere. When a town takes steps to have the highway routed away from the business sec tion it is getting ready to call itself a city. But it would be news if any of the var ious agencies should come complain ing that it has more money than it needs. Hitler offers to return some of the Sudeten territory to the Czechs. Smallpox ; must be raging there. Hubby will find that the best way to teach a woman how to handle money is to give her some to handle. With a brand new 25c an hour floor under wages maybe editors can blow them selves to a soda-pop every now and then. This here invitation ''Let's go An tiquing" we reckon is directed at the woman of the house, but it's hubby's pocket book that will do the suffering. There ought to be a law against foot ball games in election years. Neither the candidates nor the voters can keep their, minds on their business. At least Central Europe problems needn't worry Britain any more. Adolph and Benito will attend to those little mat ters. Robert Quillen observes: "Hitler is smart. The more he starves them to get money for armament, the more they will see the need of conquering wheat fields." Football is like everything else. One man carries the ball and gets all the glory, while ten others make it possible for him to gain a first-down, and have aching muscles as their sole reward. We Hate to Lose Him Right now, for obvious reasons, we are pondering whether the Methodist system of pastoral rotation is good or bad. It must be right, else this great religious body would not be holding' onto it through the years. But we have abundant reason to know that it carries a lot of pain with it. Whether Elkin's experience with Meth odist preachers is the rule or the exception, the fact remains that we have been drawing only good ones in recent years, ministers whom we are loth to give up when parting time comes. Count back for more than a decade and see if you don't agree with us. And now that we of all denominations 1 had come to know and appreciate this fel-' low Jenkins, come to love and depend upon him, it is decreed that he must be prized loose from our hearts and homes where he has fitted so snugly. In this disappointing moment we are not so certain that the sys tem is so good. But if we are swapping with Marion, quality for quality, then that will serve to soften the pain. In all sincerity we can say that Dr. Jenkins' pastoring here has been a success by any measurement one wants to make. FMrst of all he has taken his spiritual com mission seriously. As an ambassador of the Lord he has neglected nothing. But he has been as popular out of the pulpit as in it, because he has sensed the fact that souls may be rescued on the streets, in Scout caYnps and in the fellowships of civic clubs, as well as at church altars. His work with the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts has created a confidence and respect for the religion he preaches, and he. will be missed by no group more than these. And what is more it cannot be said that his ser mons and his ministry has suffered because ; of this activity, because he is recognized as > > a brilliant, well-read, earnest man of God ( who spoke with conviction, and his congre j gation heard him eagerly, knowing that his sermons were something more than formal efforts, required and expected of him. Elkinites will be missing this man and his good wife, who shares his popularity here, and the people of Jonesville will part with Rev. Mr. Smith with reluctance too. We are hoping that all of them will be coming back to us some day, even as others before them have liked us so well as to come back and make their home with us. Brother Abernethy, couldn't you scrouge over a bit to make room for the return of Dr. Jenkins? We'd all of us be more than much obliged. The Starting Point In a recent issue we pointed out that if the proposed constitutional amendment pro viding for four-year terms for North Caro lina sheriffs is approved and ratified by the voters, it follows a chart that provides for the swearing in of all sheriffs on the first Monday in December^—for a vterm of four years. It was our notion that this wouldn't set well with the voters of some counties who, when they nominated last June did so under the impression that they were select ing for a two-year term only, and might go so far as vote against a meritorious amend ment for that reason alone. But the Winston-Salem Journal reminds that "Reform in matters pertaining to gov ernment and politics must begin somewhere ... In the plan to lengthen the terms of sheriffs, it seems to us that the advantages are distinctly of the major type while the defects in the scheme are relatively minor." And we agree with Editor Martin. We are sure the merits of the four-year term far outweigh its faults, and have said so. We were simply pointing to something that might cause some voters to knife the amendment for a reason that has nothing to do with its desirability or otherwise. We have in mind one county in which the voters have nominated a man for sheriff who was given the place for reasons other than special merit, and with no thought that he would be riding high, wide and handsome for four years instead of the customary two. It is barely possible that when they come to know that he will be on their necks for four years—he may be defeated by a Re publican. And that would be awful, wouldn't it Santford. There must be a starting point, yes. But there is no special rush about this matter, except to those who will benefit by that De cember swear-in. Stepping up the starting point to two years from now would be noti fying the voters to put their thinking caps on and nominate on merit and qualification for the place, mindful of the fact that their choice holds for four years. No such privi lege is provided at the November polls, be cause there are some sheriffs nominated under the same circumstances as those in the county referred to above. We're betting that half the voters don't know that they are voting in their sheriffs for four years, if the amendment carries, and we'll risk two-bits they won't be told. Good for Dairying The decision of the Carnation Company to establish a branch unit at Statesville means that the dairying industry of this section of North Carolina is being well served in the way of a market for its pro ducts. The Statesville unit obviously will not confine its benefits to Iredell county. This great milk condensing organization would not have set up at Statesville, had it not been for the excellent prospects of whole milk from Catawba, Rowan and other neigh bor adjoining counties. The lower reaches of Surry may eventually benefit from this 'new expansion, if not directly then indirect ly, while the northern section of this coun ty can turn to Galax where another Carna tion plant has been in operation for some time. But regardless of whether Surry as to be benefited, the fact remains that the estab lishment of the plant at Statesville, the first such in North Carolina, is a definite step forward for dairying and therefore to be applauded by the neighbors, because dairy ing is definitely linked with prosperity and sectional prosperity has a way of reflecting itself beyond prescribed borders. There fore Surry will be congratulating her neigh bor, Iredell, on this achievement. In this day when the need to diversify is so essential; when divorcement from the so called cash crops and the attending gamble is so apparent, the diverting of the farmer's efforts to dairying offers the most plausible channel to eventual profit, particularly when there is a permanent and promising market. It tends to profit because in addi tion to the periodic pay-off there will be soil improvement, a profit in itself, as against the soil depletion that attends the cultiva tion of crops which heretofore the farmer has looked to for the cash he would finger in his pockets. There are other markets for the dairy man: the creameries, the cheese plants and the direct consumer, and how with a con densery right here in our midst, it cannot be said that we do not have the proper in centive to turn to cattle, particularly the dairy breeds. It is one product of the farm that will not find a glutted market, for the Carnation company, for instance could make the Statesville plant one of its most complete units, run it to capacity, and still not be able to meet the demand already establish ed here in North Carolina alone, for its pro duct. This paper is always glad to record these evidences of progress even though it is not within the borders of our own county.
