PACKARD Assistant Editor ■fttered as second-class matter January 19, 1934, at the post office at Rocky Msunt, North Carolina, under the-Act of March 3, 1879 *Bblioation Office: Second Floor Daniels Building, Bocky Mount, Edgecombe County, North Carolina Sebeeription Rates: One Year, (1.00; 6 Months, 60a Mvmrti'ing rates reasonable, and furnished to pra*- peetire advertisers on request LAW SHOULD BE IMPARTIAL The Gold Leaf Farmer, Wendell. With spreading labor trouble, and with civil strife in the ranks of labor it can hard ily be possible that North Carolina will not be seriously touched by this conflict sooner or later. We want to commend Governor Hoey's frank stand for law and order in labor dis putes as well as in other things. The fact that a thousand men act concertedly in strik ing for better conditions gives them no more right to violate the laws than any of them has as individuals. At the same time the fact that an employer is harassed by a strike gives him no right to violate the law. As we see it, it is the duty of piece of ficers to protect property, and human life if possible, and to enforce the laws of the land in so far as it is possible. We believe this will be done in North Carolina, and we don't believe that any right of labor worth having will be denied by a strict enforcement of the law. WHAT IS TO BE EXPECTED? Williamston Enterprise What can this nation expect in the way of lasting benefits, when more is spent on one major football game than is spent on cancer research in a whole year? When more emphasis is placed on punish ing the criminal than is placed on prevent ing crime? When we spend more preparing for war than we do in advancing the cause of peace ? When we center our attention on the cost of government rather than on the benefits derived from government? When we offer destructive criticism rath er than constructive criticism? When we spend more on race-track gambling than we spend on benevolence for orphans or the aged ? When we spend more for pleasure than we do for the necessities of life, often leaving the bills of the butcher, grocer and others unpaid that added pleasure may be financed ? FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST "Is The Universe, Including Man, Srolved By Atomic Force?" was the subject of the Lesson Sermon in all starches and societies of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday June 20, 19- 37. The Golden Text was from Deu teronomy 10:14. ''Behold, the heaven and the heavens of heavens is the Lord's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is." Among the citations which com prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "The hea vens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handy work. Dav unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth know I A Safe Deposit Box in Our Vault Will Protect | Your Valuables | i * ♦ i i * + The Planters National Bank j And Trust Company MEMBERS: Federal Reserve System, * Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation | "ONE OF THE FOLKS" Sampson Independent "She acted like one of the folks," remark ed one who attended the Strawberry Festi val at Wallace Friday and saw and heard Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, first lady of the] land, who was speaker of the day. Having i read of Mrs. Roosevelt's activity and her in-! terest in the "common people" since her hus-j band was elected President, we accepted the statement quoted above as being a cor-' rect description of the "first lady." Press reports of the day's activities in and around Wallace told of how Mrs. Roosevelt took time off from the regular routine to visit a sick child, who was desirous of see ing her, and also of her stopping to chat) with an aged invalid sitting in a wheel chair., Not every woman who has enjoyed wealth! and position, as has Mrs. Roosevelt, would j show the interest in the masses and the less fortunate human beings that she shows. Mrs. Roosevelt is what might be termed a "smart woman," and also a busy woman. She is constantly on the go, so to speak, but practically all her time is devoted to making life more abundant and more pleas ant for unfortunates. That is unusual for a President's wife, to be sure, but that fact makes it the more commendable. Addressing a large gathering of people at Goldsboro from the platform of the train on which she traveled on her return trip to Washington, Mrs. Roosevelt was quoted as saying: "I have had a most delightful day The people all seemed so happy. The dear est wish that the President and I have is that when his term is over the people of the United States may be happier than they were when he came." She is doing her part to make it so. THE NEW TRIPLE A The Gold Leaf Farmer, Wendell. We have tried to make a rather brief study of the proposed Crop Control plan known as the 1937AAA. We believe that it is the result of the lessons learned under the old triple A, and that it will tend to stabilize prices on the commodities covered. Crop control is too big a problem for the brain of man to solve at one sitting, and only a plan based on years of experience "can hope to succeed. This plan has that point in its favor, and with changes made as need arises, we believe it will accomplish the de sired result. As the Red Cross so aptly says, "Swim-' mjng is a great sport, but drowning is an ag-| onizing death." A little care will prevent! most of the deaths that occur each year by drowning. Strange as it may seem more of these occur on lakes and streams than on the ocean beaches. Parents should urge caution at all times when their children, "go in swimming." ledge. There is no speech nor lan guage, wher® their voice is not heard." (Psalms 191 1-3) The Lesson-Sermon also included the following- passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures" by Mary Baker Eddy. "Ma terial evolution implies that the great First Cause must become ma terial, and afterwards must either return to Mind or go down into dust and nothingness. The true theory of the universe, including man, is not in material history, but in spirit ual development. Inspired thought relinquishes a material, sensual, and mortal theory of the universe, and adopts the spiritual and immortal.

State Board Gets Nat'l Recognition The North Carolina State Bonrd of Health is receiving mych national recognition, and North Carolina is becoming more widely appreciated in general. P. G. Duff, registrar general for Jamaica, British West Indies, who has been in Raleigh since mid-May, studying the handling of vital statis tics by the N. C. State Board of Health, says: "I consider Raleigh an extremely attractive place", Mr. Duff said, "and the people I have had the pleasure of meeting, socially, as well as in the , performance of the duties for which I came, have been most hospitable and kind. I have visited the United Btates before, but have never on any previous occasion came this far south. I like this section of your country very much and feel quite at home here, because it has many things ia common with England and the coun tries under British rule. "Before I leave," h e declared, *1 should like to express, through the medium of the press, to Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, North Carolina State Health Officer, and to those others with whom I hav e been associated at the State Board of Health, but es pecially to Dr. R. T. Stimpson, di rector of the Vital Statistics Division, wiVh whom I have been more closely associated, and to the members of his staff, my sincere appreciation of their many courtesies and kindnesses during my sojourn here. I wish to thank them all for their kindly help and the patience they have display ed in explaining the North Carolina system. I am highly impressed with the up-to-date machines in use in the Vital Statistics Division, ag well as with the most efficient personnel."

Dr. Antal Petres, director of field forces, State Hygienic Insitute, Buda pest, Hungary, also' is in Raleigh un der the auspices of the Foundation, to study the methods of the North Carolina State Board of Health. He speaks in terms of high est praise for North Carolina, com paring her blue skies and warm sun shine to those of Italy. He says. "I feel more at -home in Raleigh than at any place since I left my own! Budapest." And he was delighted with Chapel Hill. The Hungarian physician is an idealist and doesn't mind saying so. When asked if he knew American music, he replied that he had studied it and to his mind the strongest American piece is Hhe song, "Carry M e Back to Old Virginny'. Dr. Petres expresses appreciation of the kindness shown him by the members of the State Board of Health Department and expresses ap proval of the efficiency witnessed by him. in the department. He is especially interested in the campaign against syphilis, and hopes to make a fight on the disease in Hungary.
