Roosevelt Must Be Re-elected
We cannot urge too strongly the importance of voting
on November 4th. While the South has generally been rec
ognized as being safely Democratic and we feel that it is
certainly so at this time, the south should show to the
Nation at large its confidence in the leadership of Presi
dent Roosevelt by giving unprecedentedly large vote. We
are grateful to the chief magistrate of this Nation for
what he has done in bringing prosperity to the great mas
ses of the people and overcoming the depression, and sav
ing us from Chaos and revolution, which we were on the
brink of and in some places it was absolutely taking place.
Many of our so called business leaders have undertaken
to sow discord and rntoinfoifnation through hired propa
gandas in their effort to weaken the leadership of Presi
dent Roosevelt, but our people are beginning to realize
that this group are selfish and they want control. The
largest campaign contribuations to the Republican Party
are being made by the family whose business has been to
manufacture munitions of war for the destruction of man
kind.
Should we follow the leadership of a man who loves the
ways of business, or should we follow the leaders of those
v?ho prosper upon war? Can there be any doubt as to which
the people will follow?
They will re-elect PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
CITY SHOULD ACQUIRE PARK SITE
The citizenship on the east side of the city of Rocky
Mount have been urging upon the board of aldermen, the
importance Nof providing park and playground space for
the people and our children. There has been some sugges
tion that the property that is most desirable for a park
could not be bought; it being the block opposite the Luth
eran church. The Supreme Court has held park site space
and playgrounds a necessity, which it is the duty of the
governing authority of cities and towns to provide and the
city has the power to condemn land for this purpose.
Our belief is that condemnation will not be necessary,
for during the past week a sign has been put on the prop
erty, part of it anyway, stating that the property is for
sale.
Now there has been some suggestion that the city was
not able to buy this land. The suggestion is absolutely
ridiculous. More than $40,000 of the city's money was spent
on the airport without authority cf law, and we are in
formed, when the new stadium was built that the city did
all of the cement work, which is enormous, at the city's
expense and over and above the bond issue.
Now, we are not kicking for this water has gone over the
dam, but if the board of aldermen of the city of Rocky
Mount sits by and lets this block of vacant land be sold
and various kinds of buildings be constructed on it, we
feel that a great mistake will be made. We have already
had one board of aldermen to refuse a gift of six acres of
splendid park space. Some of the present board were mem
bers of that board that refused this land and they are
bound to see the mistake that was made,, which amounts
to almost a crime. We do hope the board will appoint a
comntittee to acquire this land.
It is not an Edgecofrnbe or Nash County proposition. It
is a proposition that the whole citizenship of Rocky Mount
should be interested in. The school board has already pass
ed a resolution, asking for this block for park purposes, al
-30 the Civitan Club. The Civitan Club has passed a unan
imous resolution.
