THE HERALD Of The Twin Cities ROANOKE RAPIDS—ROSEMARY “The Home-Printed Paper” Formerly The Roanoke Rapids Herald CARROLL WILSON, Publisher and Editor Entered as Second Class matter April 3rd, 1914, at the Postoftice at Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, under Act of March 3rd, 1879. PRINTERS, LITHOGRAPHERS, ENGRAVERS FOR THE FI NNY BOYS Anyone who thinks it is funny to turn in false fire alarm just because they know where the fire siren button is and want to see the fire department turn out will be given ample oppor tunity to laugh it off with a fifty dollar fine, anti it will be a real pleasure for The Herald to con tinue the fun by giving the guilty ones plenty ul' publicity. The members of the Fire Department are giving their time and services free and they are not even compensated for the clothes they ruin nor the nights’ sleep they lose. They deserve the thanks and hearty cooperation of every citi zen for the splendid work they are doing. Weldon has found it necessary to call on them twice recently. They have saved a great amount of property in the Twin Cities in the past few months. We are for them 100 per cent and we feel sorry for any “practical joker” who falls into their capable hands. By the way, if those persons who are com plaining of being awakened at night by the fire siren can figure out an economical and efficient manner to call the fire department members to gether from the four parts of the town at any hour of the night, regardless of where they might he. it would be possible to dispense with the night siren. Otherwise, grin and bear ft and be thankful the fire is not your place. NEW YEAR’S DAY January 1, marking the beginning of the year has been observed as a public holiday for many centuries-, certainly in Rome since the reforma tion of the calendar by Julius Caesar in the cen tury before Christ. Owing to the confusion in dates which has resulted from the imperfections of various calen dars, which caused skipping of dates at various times. New Year’s Day may be said to be merely an arbritary designation- As late as 1752 the adoption of the Gregorian calendar by England and the American colonies caused a skip of 11 days. However, regardless of the day designated as New Year’s at various times and in various coun- ! tries, it has been generally observed as a holiday. The Romans celebrated it with processions, abandonment of litigation and strife, exchanging of visits and of gifts, feasting and merrymaking. Early fathers of the Christian Church did not ap prove of these festivities, but recommended that the day be devoted to meditation, scripture read ing and works of charity. But about the fourth century, when Decem ber 25 had been agreed upon for the observance of Christ’s nativity. New Year’s Day, falling one ■week later, began to assume a sacred character as the anniversary ot tne circumcision, anil as such it still figures in the calendars of certain branches of the church. Other religious faiths, such as the Moham medan and Jewish, have their own calendars with distinctive holidays and festivals, in which their New Year’s Day has a corresponding signi ficance to that of Christendom Among all it is considered an appropriate day for reviewing the events of the previous year, the making of new resolves and the adoption of plans for the future. It is also the occasion for the expression of good wishes. We join in the spirit of the day in wishing all a Happy New Year. ADVERTISING IN 1930 The 240 members of the American Associa tion of Advert '■ ei's will buy space to the value of S206.000.000 during 1930. or S20.000.000 more than their expenditure in 1920. according to the president of the association. This represents an in crease of 11 per cent. This announcement was made in connection with the survey of business and industrial ac tivities being made at the suggestion of Presi dent .Hoover, after conferring with leaders in the vaiTous basic industries. ' It should be encouraging to the country at large that these national advertisers have suffi cient faith in the soundness of our economic structure to press forward with increased vigor in their sales efforts for the coming year. AE SMITH VINDICATED Governor Alfred E. Smith, Democratic nomi nee for President, “leader of the wets,” foe of pro hibition,” “arch-enemy of the Constitution.” as sailed by his political enemies because of his statments that prohibition in the United States did not prohibit, stands today vindicated. Conditions that he described in his campaign speeches, denounced as lies by dry leaders, are exactly the conditions as described today by that ardent Dry and Hoover champion, Senator Bo rah. Governor Smith stands in the unique posi tion of being vindicated by the one man who did as much or more than any other single man in the country, to defeat him. Borah, who is gaining quite a reputation of not being able to lie in a bed of his own making, who is trying to eat hi- cake and have it also, hailed Hoover as the saviour of agriculture pledged him to a special session of Congress. 1 e day he is Hoover’- bitterest foe on the subject of agriculture and tariff. Tin lat.st tirade of our wishy-washy friend is on his pet subject of prohibition. He startled the world last week with charges that saloons flourish in the country, tha; ' .ie Hoover admin istration is doing nothing f .-tamp out this e\ d, that there is otv n ami tlac-unt violation ot ill laws of the land- That vend tiens are -imply tei rible. The facts are not ne vs. Governor Smite told the country the same thing more than a year ago. The only startling part f the Borah expose is that .Hr. Borah admit.- the truth of all Mr. Smith has said. Yet the majority of tic American people, knowing that Air. Smith wa- right, were willing to believe the accusations ot -uch as Mr. Borah that he was wrong; not only wrong, but viciously so. They were willing to be hoodwinked and led' like sheep by leaders whose whole campaign was a fabrication of deceit and 1 i■ - and hypocrisy. The fearless nominee of the Bemoeratic party. ! facing a National issue with courage and fairness and truth, wa- defeated and the reins of the gov ernment placed in the handsel such men as rain coat Borah, who thrives on sensationalism, who betrays his friends, who is ruled in all he says and does by political expediency. n Ol'R GREATEST MENACE In spite of all warnings and plea-, for caution in the op-ration of automobiles, little progress in the directioii |f safety is being made, if a recent report of the Department of Commerce is repre sentative of general conditions. This report covers deaths from automobile accidents in 78 large cities, over a period of sev eral years. It shows that deaths during the four weeks ending November 2, 1929. in these 78 cities reached a total of 840. For the four weeks end ing March 27, 1926, the number of deaths in the same cities was only 846. For the year ending on November 2, last the number of deaths in these cities was 8,424, as against 7,250 during the preceding year, an in crease of 16 per cent in 12 months When to the appalling number of deaths is added the number of permanently crippled and other seriously injured persons, to say nothing of the property damage involved, the menace of the careless driver may be seen as one of our most serious national problems. _n_ ILLITERATE CHILDREN The recent issue of Public Welfare Prog ress, organ of the North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, is devoted largely to a discussion of school attendance and the im portance thereof. School superintendents are quoted to show that the State pays tor attend ance while the counties pay for absences. Accord ing to the Hancock bill. State appropriations are based upon average attendance—not enrollment. It is therefore, very important that the average attendance be kept as near 100 per cent as pos sible in order that the the full benefits of State appropriations for the employment of competent teachers may be had. From the classroom and educational stand point, it is patent that regular attendance is es sential to the best work and greatest accomplish ment on the part of the pupils. That goes with out saying. In answering its own question, “Why all this talk about school attendance?" Public Welfare Progress sets forth the following five points! “1. There were 208.128 school children ab sent from their class rooms every day in 1927-23. “2. Besides, there were 1-16.344 children of school age (6-21) who were not even enrolled. “3. Of a school population of 995.122, the avCiIigt* tlaliy at Lcxmanv. vv i. .*■> uiuv Carolina's average daily attendance places her 89th from the top. “4. In 1927-28, this ‘tate spent $29.69 pe> school child to give each child an equal opportu nity. 202,232 white and 135,179 colored children were not promoted year before last. Last year there were 333,411 repeaters in the schools. “5. In 1928, there were 204.492 illiterates of voting age. North.Carolina stands 46th from the top in the per centage of white illiteracy. “Educate the adult illiterate?— “But why neglect the child illiterates!’ These are rather startling facts which Pub lic Welfare Progress gives, and while North Caro lina has made wonderful strides along educational line?., it is apparent that there is a great deal to be done still. Correct this sentence: “It’s my money, my wife just happens to have it in her pocketbook." Merchants who advertise should take seme interest in what they advertise and how. The reason why advertising doesn’t pay is usually be cause it isn’t advertising.
