THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME
It is much to the credit of the small city
which can keep on accomplishing things when
business is dull and men lose their interest and
pep in civic affairs.
Usually when dog days come, a town’s inter
est in all things dies along with business. Not so
here. A perusal of The Herald for the past few
weeks shows that while business here has been
slow, the Twin Cities have been going right ahead
with many summer features which other towns
lack the desire for
In the sporting world, we have kept alive a
thriving interest in a local Textile League. Our
Junior American Legion team went as far as the
state finals to be defeated by Gastonia for the
State championship, after winning the Eastern
State pennant and giving the towns plenty of
good, wholesome publicity.
With a total enrollment of 260, all the church
es of the Twin Cities combined in a Daily Vaca
tion Bible School which lasted two weeks and
was a source of real education and inspiration to
those children who attended.
The school machinery continued to function
during the hot summer with a total of j47 High
School pupils attending. Most of these young
sters were willing to do this extra work in order
to forge ahead and save time in the future, and
were not making up work in which they had fall
en behind during the past year.
several Sunday scnool teacners and super
intendents spent hot hours at a training school
which better prepared them for their work this
Fall.
The Rosemary Concert Band did its part in
keeping the name of the Twin Cities on the front
page by playing for a week at Minnesott Beach
while others were vacationing.
Despite the heat and hot quarters, the Ki
wanis Club has continued its meeting every
Thursday afternoon with an average attendance
of about thirty-five members. The bridge com
mittee has spent the summer months making
things hotter for the State Highway Commission
and seems on the verge of actually obtaining a
new bridge over the Roanoke, after many disap
pointments.
Many things have been accomplished here
when one takes inventory. We mention only a
few above as examples. The business men have
been plugging along and as we enter August,
their (troubles should begin to lighten. It is
much to their credit that no substantial firm
has had financial reverses and with the worst
part behind us we confidently look forward to
better times for them. They certainly deserve it
and all citizens who are interested in the schools,
church es and the town as a whole should con
tinue to give our local merchants the financial
support which is necessary to every town that
wishes to grow and prosper.
LOSING BUSINESS
President Hoover, whom North Carolina
helped elect, is getting no better fast. The Presi
dent now finds himself saddled with the most
outrageous tariff act this country has ever
known.
Some sixteen foreign countries have either
done so or plan to boycott American-made goods
because of the new tariff.
The extent of this injury can only be realized
when one remembers that one of our largest au
tomobile manufacturers, not more than six
months ago, stated the profits of his company
for last year were represented by the foreign
trade of that company. In short, this company
lost money on its home business, but was able to
keep its head above water because it had built
up an extensive and friendly foreign business.
In its zeal to protect home industries against
foreign made goods the administration has gone
too far to the point of building a wall which works
both ways. It not only keeps foreign goods out
but it also holds within our boundaries millions
of dollars of commodities which we have been
selling abroad. It simply means that foreign
countries will eventually build factories of their
own to supply themselves with the merchandise
they have been buying from us.
There may come a day when the American
manufacturer will learn that tariff which equa
lizes is far better than a tariff which prohibits.
The Democratic party would have passed a
tariff act which would have given home business
every advantage on the open market but which
would not have antagonized some of our best
customers.
Since the war, our manufacturers, as a rule,
have waxed wealthy because Europe was still de
moralized from four years of chaos. We had a
great opportunity to establish a lasting world
trade. Instead, with such fiascos as the recent
tariff act, our leaders have seen fit to work only
for today while each tomorrow sees Europe rapid
ly emerging from its industrial helplessness to
the point where it will once more be independent
of us.
Trade is the life of business and competi
tion is the life of trade. The Republican party
with its tariff is killing both competition and
trade.
WHY DO WE DO IT?
The latest craze to sweep the country is that
of tree sitting, a slightly tamer version of the
once famous flagpole sitting contests. One can
see why the latter never became a fad, due to
precariousness of the seat as well as the scarcity
of suitable flagpoles.
But there are still plenty of trees, even af
ter the chopper and the forest fire take their
heavy annual toll.
Invariably, if you stand around a crowd
watching a tree sitter sit, you will hear the query:
“Why is he doing it?”
Now, great men of all time: thinkers, sages,
wits, teachers, scientists and praticalists, have
been trying to answer that question. Human be
havior and its wbys and wherefores have been
the subject of years of study and reams of writ
ten conclusions.
Our guess is as good as the others and so we
conclude that tree sitters sit because, 1. They
have nothing else to do. 2. They like publicity.
3. They want to establish a record. 4. They are
paid to do it. One or more of these four reasons
will apply to most cases, we believe.
And after it is all over, what does it amount
to, we ask. Well, after all, what does a lot of
things in we do in life amount to ? Recall wasted
time, overlooked opportunities, years of traveling
the wrong road, all of which go to make up the
average life, good, bad or indifferent.
The tree sitter does this much good, if none
other, that he brings home to those who will con
sider, how valuable time is and how much we
can do with every minute of it if we just don’t
sit or stand still.
Not to be outdone, the Twin Cities' has its
own tree sitter, who at the time of this writing
was still sitting away. If we haven’t answered
your question satisfactorily as to why a tree sit
ter sits we advise you to go and ask him.
COTTON AND CORN UP
While the rest of the country swelters and
burns, the Roanoke River and Halifax County
vicinity continues to show every indication of a
bumper crop. Prices will be good this year. Re
ports from the arid Southwest caused cotton to
advance this week, while on the Chicago market
corn i&> selling for more than wheat. Tobacco
prices from Georgia continue at low level but ex
perts claim the price will be up by the time the
North Carolina markets open.
With just enough rain to save most of the
crops in this section, local business men have ev
ery reason to look for a fair break for the farm
er business. The nation faces a scarcity of food
this year that may bring appaling results and
this community is most fortunate when compared
with other sections of the country.
