RED CROSS ROLL CALL
Again the American Red Cross is in the
midst of its annual roll call, which is made each
year between Armistice Day and Thanksgiving.
It deserves the support of everyone who can pos
sibly contribute.
Communities which have happily escaped dis
aster can hardly appreciate the magnificent work
of this foremost relief organization. A great fire,
flood, storm, epidemic or other cause of wide
spread distress immediately brings the Red Cross
into effective a.tion.
When the need for aid arises the Red Cross
responds unfailingly, promptly, efficiently. There
are no delays, no hesitancy, no lost motion. With
clock-like precision the trained personnel moves
to its humantarian task ;pid sticks to it until it
is finished.
While it was originally designed for the relief
of suffering in time of war, the Red Cross has in
late years become the greatest agency for emer
gency relief in time of peace as well.
It costs only a dollar to join the organization
and thus become identified with its noble work.
To do this is at once a duty, a privilege and an
honor.
REEDOM OF THE PRESS
Another attempted enroachment upon the
freedom of the press is seen in a reported request
of the Federal Farm Board for action against a
Nebraska weekly newspaper which has dared to
criticise the workings of that body.
According to a dispatch to the New York
Times, the board has asked the Federal Trade
Commission and the Post Office Department to
investigate the offending editor.
Regardless of the merits of the newspaper’s
criticism, it seems that the marshalling of these
formidable government forces against a little
country weekly is rather a ridiculous proceeding.
It is generally recognized that the Farm
Board has a difficult task, and by many it is be
lieved that it has been assigned an impossible one.
But the board is a public body ,and as such should
be subject to such comment, favorable or unfav
orable as every citizen has a right to make with
respect to other public bodies and public officials,
not excepting Congress and the President of the
United States.
The fact that the board has seen fit to try
to set up such a censorship as the dispatch men
tioned refers to will be taken by many as rather
strong evidence that Chairman Legge and his as
sociates are not sure of themselves. In any event
it indicates they are too emotional to handle their
important job with calm assurance.
A BELATED HONOR
At last Major "Eddie” Rickenbacker has re
ceived from the hands of President Hoover the
coveted Congressional Medal of Honor, 12 years
after he earned it as America’s ace of aces during
the World War.
Few men, indeed, have experienced as many
thrills as came to Eddie Rickenbacker in the years
preceding and during the war. While in lis early
twenties he became widely known as a daring and
skillful automobile racer. In fact, he went to
France with Pershing as a member of the motor
car staff. But aviation lured him, and in August.
1917, he was transferred tc the Air Service at his
own request.
He became commander of the 94th Aero Pur
suit Squadron, the first American aviation unit
to fight on the Western front, as well as the one
scoring the greatest number of ctories, 69. of
which 26 were credited to Rickenb aker himself.
He was also the first commanding officer to
lead his own squadron into Coblenb, Germany, and
at the close of the war he was retired with the
rank of Major. He was subsequently decorated
with the Distinguished Service Cross with li ne
palms, the French Legion of Honor and Lroix do
Guerre (Cross of War) with four palms.
Just turned 40, Eddie Rickenbacker doubt
less has many years of useful patriotic service
before him. His legion of admiring friends are
glad that his valorous exnlo.ts during the war
have been fully recognized at last by the bestowal
of the Congressional Medal cf Honor.

SHOOTING
By OLD TIMER
THE POWER OF THE PRESS
There is no argument about the
power of the press. The owners and
editors of the many newspapers pub
lished in the United States have an
unlimited power to create sentiment
for or against a man, group of men,
or a thing or undertaking. Champion
ing the cause of a good man, or a
worthy objective, takes up more space
and uses more printers’ ink from day
to day, the average reader imagines.
By the same token, if a newspaper
manager or editor or both, even for
one issue, have a lapse of the usual
common sense with which they are
supposed to be endowed the power
of the press sweeps on just the same
creating sentiment and opinions
throughout the country.
I was on my vacation when the Au
gust 20th, 1930, issue of the Raleigh
News and Observer was forwarded
and—before I could burn or other
wise destroy it—the article and edi
torial were read and the two pictures
were viewed by several business men
from as many Western and Northern
states. Lasting opinions of our state
were formed in their minds, which will
never be erased. Everyone who read
that issue will never forget it. Years
and years of favorable publicity will
have passed before the damage to our
State by that idiotic news article will
have been overcome. The power of the
press is great, far greater than you
and I think—and power without a
balance wheel destroys.
‘Tell me what you read and I’ll tell
you what you are’ used to be cosider
td a trde statement, especially so
when it came from a scholarly mind.
We used to accept it in the same way
we accepted the caution to “Save your
pennies and buy a horse,” and we
saved pennies! But today if people
were judged by what they read—
could anybody plead ‘not guilty?’
There was a time when the books of
Mary J. Holmes were read by girls
whose mothers do not seem to care.
Fourteen year old girls today, whose
mothers should care, are overheard
discussing the sex situations created
by the author of “Ex-Wife,” and what
got my goat was that the detailed dis
cussion brought out no dissenting
opinions. —
A library puts a certain stamp up
on a town, which can be secured in
no other way or manner. As one per
son said, “When a person begins to
think he knows it all, let him visit the
library and there view the volumes of
knowledge he has never heard of,
much less read.” A neighboring town
has a library of good books to loan
out to responsible citizens. It is well
managed, in charge of competent
hands and used by many citizens of
that town. The town is proud of its
library. Some day we will have a li
brary. In the meantime a room is
set apart in our High School where
five thousand volumes have been col
lected, some fiction, but it is more of
a reference library than a general one.
Look the room over when you are
in the building.
A recent comparison was made in
this paper between the Roanoke Ra
pids schools of today and those of
ii>10. Someone didn’t dare to go back
another five years to 1905. At that
time there were two teachers, two
one-room schools, sixty pupils, and,
much to the delight of the pupils, the
school term was three months.
The educational progress in North
Carolina during the past twenty-five
years has never been equaled any
where at any time. To my way of
thinking this fact is ;hy real NO .Til
CAROLINA FIRST.
