EARTH IS ENOUGH *
Wo men of earth have here the stub
Of Paradise ?1we have enough!
We need no other stones to build
The stsfira Into the Unfulfilled?
No other Ivory for doors?
No other marble for floora?
No other cedar for the beam
And dome of man's Immortal
dream.
.
Here on the paths of every day ?
Here on the common human way
Is all the stuff the Rods would take

.WA8TE1 OUR NUMBER ONE
.ENEMY
, There Is growing public demand
.that all government expenditures be
drastically reduced, with the sole
(exception ot appropriations for inherent
on the national debt and for
tthe great rearmament program.
, The American people are today
(Teady and eager to make any necespary
sacrifices to the end that the
.country may he made secure against
jnvaslon. They will literally give un
.til it hurts, and then give again. But
fhe American people are In no mood
.to see their money squandered for
Unnecessary and vtastefal purposes,
i The time has passed when we can
afford political '"luxuries." The time
}>as come when every possible nickel
mnst be saved for the necessities
,In all probability, great oost cots
pould he made so far as most gov
make
New Edcns. Ours the stuff sublime
To build Eternity In time!
, . ?Edwin Markham.
DON'T DETOUR
It Is a foregone conclusion that a
great many people would make a
Car greater progress In the pursuit
of happiness If they would not try
so many detours to dodg'f work.
"Work is as much of a necessity to
man as eating and drinking. It Is
a talisman to guard one agaist oneself.?Selected.
.THE ECHO
The world is a whispering gallery
which sends back the echo of
our own voices. It is a mirror which
reflects the face that looks into it.
If we laugh, K laughs back; If we
Crown, It reflects a frown. Happiness
Is the reaction of our mental
attitude and our acts upon others.
It Is what they fling back to us that
makes us happy or miserable. The
door between us and heaven or hap
piness cannot be open when the
door between us and pur fellow men
Js closed.?Selected/,
BANKS AT HIGH PEAK
Bankers in North Carolina are no
longer "lh the dog house." Why?
Because after the hanking hob' |
day In March, 1933, they carried on
a magnificent offensive to rebuild
the capital structure of their lnstltitlons
to the point where they
would fully meet the requirements
of sound banking and demand the
respeit of the public, and, as a result,
all of the banks In North Car
oltna that applied were admitted as
members of the federal deposit insurance
corporation.
This offensive on the part of the
hankers has been kept up until now
they are in a position to serve the
people of North Carolina, bankingwise
in every respect ? and they
are even advertising for loans and
asking for them by personal solicitation.
It appears now that by th*
end of the year the surplus fund of
all the state banks in North Carolina
will equal, or exceed, the common
capital, which will make Nortfr
Carolina an "honor roll" state.
North Carolina now has 306 stats
banks snd branches and 48 national
hanks and branches, making a total
of 363 banking units. These are sufficient
to take care of all the banking
needs of the state. Bank stock
is now a good investment. It Is hard
to buy and la considered good collateral
for a loan m another bank.
It appears now that the total
hank resources of North Carolina,,
including state commercial. state
Industrial and uatlonal banks, will
reach an all-time 'high" as of December
31, 1939. The
growth of our banks indicates
that North Carolina is again a
prosperous state.?Ouerney P. Hood.

The Defense Commission, which

1s asproachlng the question of limitations
on hours and wages. What
its decision will be remains to be
seen. But as it approached the prob
lem. a new action by Russia attactted
attention.
Russia since 1929 has been working
its industries for five days and
then shutting down for a day. Now.
however, for the sake? of national",
defense, they have gone back to a
r seven day schedule.
Also, those employees who have
been working 6 hours a day wilt
, now work 7 and those who have
been working 7 will work 8 hours.
France and England went through
the same procedure. FVap&co "yielding
too late on some of its '"social
gains." It remains to be seen wheth
1 er England and, Russia have walt{
ed too long, and whether the United
States will piddle along with arbi!
trary restructions which hamper Its
national defense. i
