ON HIS WAY!
Introducing to Democrat readers
Boone's most progressive paper merchant
. . . young Komer Haynes . . .
vendor of the Asheville Times, various
other newspapers and a half-dozcu
magazines. Without regard for the
prevailing '"groundhog w e a t h e r,"
without thought of the winter blasts
that would throw a chill down the
spine of an Eskimo . . . young Homer
delivers his evening publication right
into the hands of the reader, smiles
as sweet as a peach, and moves along.
Thirteen years of age and a bright
student at Boone High School, the
newsboy carries out a rigrid schedule
of work . . . delivery of papers, collection.
solicitation of new subscribers,
close study of lessons and the
various chores that teen-age boys are
required to do about the home. But
Homer doesn't mind ... he goes about
his businses with the astute mien of
? Vir..ll c? *- u 1 ' ?

out credit quite freely, but he'll "see
you Sat'dey," politely of course, just
Ias sure as you're born! And the dimes
and the quarters and the dollars that
Homer earns in his worth-while endeavors
are not wasted by any
means ... he buys his clothing and
shoes and books and all the other
little things that boys require . . . but
like all good tradesmen, he keeps
back the proverbial "nest-egg" for a
rainy day. Boys like Homer Haynes
are bound to succeed . . . you just
couldn't hold 'em back! John \Vanamaker,
the dry-goods king, once said
that "the newsboys of today will be
the merchants of tomorrow" . . . and
when we watch this youth on his
daily rounds, we believe every word
of it!
:
A certain old lady, as the "chestnut"
goes, proved that her son was j
not an imbiber of spirits by stating '
that "he drinks four and five glass- j
es of ice water before breakfast |
eacli morning." Now comes a par- 1
allel, allegedly from a. Boone worn- |
an, who attested the popularity of j
a young daughter by exclaiming: j
"Why the young gentlemen call for j
her even at three and four o'clock
in the moraine!" i

A THRIVING COMMI'NITV
Out a mile west of Boooe lies the!
Oak Grove community . . . progresJ
sive in a large -way, with a people

sttncts. A modern school building, |
which boast*! a large and regular at

overlooking an embryo valley wherein
are nestled a dozen or so modern I
homes . . - and on the surrounding j
uplands live the Gross boys, the;
Hodges, the Browns, the Gyonses, the I
y. Greenes, the Wards and many other
sturdy folk who combine their oner-j
I gies to make Oak Grove the a ream-:
come-true that it is. The little white j
Baptist Church that stands in the
forks of the road, the rafters of which'
have rung to Hie strains of "How
Firm a Foundation" ar.d "Praise God
From Whom All Blessings Flow' for
many a year . . . has become inadequate
to the many functions of an
over-sire congregation. So, they're
building another house of worship out
j Oak Grove way . . . with a large au1
ditorium, four Sunday School roonu,
jf and all the accoutrements of a bigtown
edifice. The structure is now
taking shape . . . but there are still
| lots of brick to be bought, and cement

?gregation ia willing, no doubt about
that, but the burden ia heavy. Boone
folks, regardless of church affilia;
tion, should donate liberally to the
work . . . for people like these . . .
% people who go about their Master's
business with a song of praise in their
hearts . . . people who share their
ijoys and sorrows with one another .. .
J people who are self-supporting and
ambitious . . . people who keep apace
with a. fact-moving age . . . they deserve
everything that's cast their
way, and more!
Just how far the printed word
travels, and what it accomplishes,
;; we wouldn't even venture to guess.
, But Mr. Otto Schnerlng, president
of the Curtlss Candy Company 'way
out yonder in that Windy City
where gangsters bold play hide-andseek
with the terrified gendarmes,
forwarded a letter to The Democrat's
publishers a few days ago . r .
thanking them profusely for an article
which appeared in this column
some weeks ago. And along with
the letter came a largo pr.eha.~o of
She company's most toothsome
sweets just to show us, as Mr.
Schnering put It, why "five boys

SCANDALOUS, SAYS WK1
Yesterday a schoolgirl, perhaps
thirteen years old, passed in front

in the skimpy attire of feminine
youth ... a pretty little rosy-cheeked
lass, just on the threshold of the
much- discussed "dangerous age." A

The citizens of Oak Grove commu

Hear Kansas Solon in Denunciation
of Roosevelt Administration.
Says President Is Assuming Dictatorial
Position. Local Men Attend.
Representative Harold McGugin,
Republican of Kansas, charged the
Democratic party with the destruction
of government under the Roosevelt
administration, in an address delivered
at the Lincoln Day dinner m
Greensboro Monday evening.
I The Kansan asserted the majority
party in the Congress through adoption
of gag rules was "destroying the
last vestige of legislative government
of the people, by the people, and lor
the people."
"In actual practice," he continued, q
"we may just as well have a dictator N
issuing his decrees a3 to have a President
who. through his subordinates
in the executive department, is writing
the legislation and sending it to
r Congress, whereupon the Congress;
I gags itself so tha t it can offer no J
improvements to the legislation. Thisj
entirely destroys the government ?m- b
" der the constitution.
T "The constitution docs not provide!
1 for the President's writing legislation, j
' It provides that Congress may report j
' to congress the state of the Union,:
setting forth an outline of legislation j
which he deems advisable. The con-!
5 stitution then provides that Congress, j R
' composed of representatives chosen j m
' by tbe people, shall prepare and en- j a
1 act the legislation which it deemsj tc
wise. Under the constitution, the Pres- j H
: ident has no control over the legis- N
lation except the power to approve w
or veto the legislation which Con- tc
gress, the representatives of the peo- st
pie. has enacted." pi
: Delving into history, McGugin as- ps
aertcd the record of the Democratic tl
party was that it was unable to meet ti
its responsibilities as a majority par- sc
ty which he described as "to bear B

) Congress in Providing Additional.
1 CWA Funds. Dam Half Done.
Mayor Tracy Council! and Aldermen
G. K. Moose and K. B. Perry
returned last Wednesday evening
from Raleigh where they called at
the office of Mrs. Thomas O'Bcrry
to present applications for CWA
funds with which to finance further
development of the water and sewage
I system of the town, to complete a
water supply dam, and to provide adequate
facilities for sewage disposal.
The three projects represent a total
outlay of S 10,000. it is said, and
the first two are approved, subject to
the action of Congress in turning
loose more CVYt funds. Action on the
sewage disposal application was withheld
pending conferences with the engineer
who drafted the plans some
time ago.
According to officials, it i3 necessary
to develop the water and sewer
system in certain sections of the
town, where continued building has
rendered the original pipe lines of insufficent
size to take care of the
needs of the growing population. At
the same time extensions of both services
are needed ui some quarter?.
The water supply dam nas been in
course of construction for some time
and lias been practically half completed
through the use of municipal
funds. The structure is twenty-six
; feet high, of concrete construction,
i and will impound seven million gal|
ions of water, or an estimated thirty
days supply for the town of Boone.
Previously there had been practically
no reserve at the intake, the water
coming from a small pool in the
stream.
The sewage disposal plant Is recommended
because of scarcity of water
and lack of fall where the sewers
empty, and plans covering this
proposal were drawn some time Ago
by a Charlotte engineer. Some sort
of action 011 this project is expected

I the wave of check flashing, in which
j State vouchers are used. The forgers
have been active in certain sections

A large part of the Revenue Department

run from $17.50 to $123 50. The
