Lniy in recent years have ciiies and towns looked with I genuine interest to i'uriure 11 mis in matters, of pul>lic improvement. The this-wii) be-gcbd-enoug'Miow attitude in constructing sewers, water lin.s, streets, bridges and public buildings is one of 1 he worst en.ipies in false ccuumy. With the possible excep- J tion of buildings (wi ieh may be i uilt by the unit system) there are few undertakings that in the public interest do not demand the foresight necessary for the increased population and heavy ' ... ' serviev that are sure to come. A 2 inch water pipe may safely and economically serve the I houses in a short or dead-end street now, but who can say what demands will be made next year or the year after on that 2 inch pipe? Has anyonne absoulte authority to say? Indeed nbt. In the matter of public works, and within reasonable limits, government should function with the aspirations of the people. We expect posterity to pay off many of our public debts. Then i why not provide posterity with edquate facilities at the time they shall be called upon to pay? Why not give them something for their money? Furthermore, it is clear to all that if sufficient construction is afforded to cope with growth and higher development, men 1 and money will be attracted to the community. Homeseekers | and investors are guided largely by one inflexible rule: it isn't | wluu you're going to have, but what a town HAS that causes J them to locate and spend their money, * * CAUSE AND EFFECT Judges are/blamed for the congestion of our courts; yet there is an appeal for more judges which, it is claimed, will relieve the congestion or our courts. Our opinion is that* they have started at tile wrong end to lay the blame. (. ongested dockets mean that an unusually large number of cases are on file either being disposed of or awaiting disposition. Cases are on tile because lawyers tile them. Lawyers tile them because people go to the lawyers. People go to lawyers because peoople get into trouble. The trouble is, therefore, the people's troubles, to which nearly all ills of society are ultimately traced and found* * * FLIRTING WITH COMMUNISM Scare headlines give the impression that a "word strike" may 1 1 ^ u be precipitated by the situation in rmgianu. iou can l nm, mm Communism and expect peace in industry. That there is a taint of communistic propaganda not only in Britain s plight but in,the impending "world crisis" is scarcely short of self evident. The leaders of the British government as well as the great mass of intelligent laboring people have long known of the inroads of Russia fostered and imposed upon an intelligent people and a great nation. Apparently the tide could not be stemmed. Radicals induced to cat as hosts to Russia's parlor spokesmen helped J to bring 011 the catastrophe to British Lobor. It is not fair to lay all human and labor ills to Communism. Neither is it expedient to whitewash flagrant violations of human relations when perpertrated by Communists in their open and avowed attempt to Bolshevize the world. * * / NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING ALWAYS FRESH I sat in a barber chair in X-ville, gazing at a number of advertisements of the "permanent" type set around a framed mirror. There were 12 ads in the rack, painted, scrolled, and encased in glass. At the time of my sitting, 3 of the stores represented in the frame had gone out of business during the year, 2 ' had changed hands with consequent changes in street addresses, and 2 had changed proprietors and titles of the concerns. In other words, 7 out of the 12 advertisements in the frame were worse than obsolete, because to the stranger in town they actually "mis-represented" the town even as a business directoryI do not say that barber shop mirror-advertising has no value. All legitimate advertising has value. But this actual case emphizes another strong point in newspaper advertising over The painted variety, namely, that the former's text is always fresh and timely, with little or no opportunity for waste due to changed conditions. Copy for ads may be changed as often as the paper comes out. Thus the business man avoids long-time payments for dead or obsolete space. ** LOOST TRYON Somebody has done something for Tryon today.

And as f'u a matter of fact, whether we relish the thought or not, the "drinking pr place" continued to be the center of pe community life until the vast stretches of the West were settled. ^u The pioneers first provided a com- pe munity well and then sprang up the is trading post and then followed the pa other agencies of commerce, forming ^ the community. cel It was when men began to co-op THOMAS O.
