C._THURSDAY, MAR. 26, 1936 NUMBER THIRTY-NINE Raise Quota Here UP AND DOWN WITH THE Ghe Avenue (SdUc* MILLIONAIRES IN THE BREADLINE By Bruce Barton A real estate man once sold me a house. He took me through it from cellar to attic and then he put me in his au tomobile and rode me around. He showed me the schools, the police station and the fire station. Finally he pointed out the church. These were his arguments why that town was a good town to live in. It had pleasant surroundings; it had a good school; it had police and fire protection; and it had a church. These assets make property valuable; they make my investment secure. I thought about it quite a little. I contributed my share to the maintenance of the school and the park and the fire and police departments. The tax collector took care of that. But for several months I contributed nothing to the church. And I grew ashamed. I said to myself: “You’re sending your youngsters to Sunday School. Your property is a better investment because the church is here, representing as it does, respect for law, and decency and faith. • it death or trouble comes to your nome you win not hesitate to call on the preacher and he will not refuse to come. You take all these benefits - and yet you are con tributing nothing!” So I grew ashamed of taking so much and giving noth ing at all - of standing in the church’s breadline. I imagine a good many other men would feel that way if they were to think the thing through. For I know communities where people who call themselves the best people are really get ting something for nothing at the expense of the church. Some of them are rich people, even millionaires. Millionaires, to whom much has been given, standing in the breadline!

Their many friends wish the An dertons all kinds of success and happiness. SEVERAL years ago, Water Works Engineering published the following comment, which appears to be just as true today: “When a plumber makes a mistake, he charges twice for it. When a lawyer makes a mistake, it is just what he wanted, because he has a chance to try the case all over again. When a carpenter makes a mistake, it is just what he expected. When a dcotor makes a mistake, he buries it. When a judge makes a mistake, it becomes the law of the land. When a preacher makes a mistake, nobody knows the difference. But when an Editor makes a mis take, good night!’ (Continued on Back Page) NEED MORE FOR FLOOD SUFFERERS The Red Cross Chapter of Roa noke Rapids raised and passed the original quota set for it last week in the offerings for flood ' :ctims and yesterday received an appeal for an additional $125. Set for $250, Roanoke Rapids citizens gave $290 in the volun tary offerings at Red Cross sta tions in drug stores, mills and cheatres here.
