ONE OF THE STRANG!
THINGS ia that of the million*
and untold millions of human
beings, no two are identical . . .
Resemblances run strong in
some family circles, but yet vast
differences remain in the phy
sical makeup of all of God's
children . . . Stranger yet is the
fact that in deportment, attire,
and attitudes about the same
situation exists, but we have al
ways wondered whv no two
men could even have an identi
cal haircut . . . Sometimes, in a
public place, when we can't see
over the crowd to enjoy the en
tertainment anyway, we are be
hind a line of men, always tall
ones, and go to comparing their
"varied tonsorial embellishments
. . . Can't find any two alike . . .
a study of ears takes up a bit
more time . . . there are the
squirrel type, the sparing lean
to appendages, the elongated,
rigid type of sound catcher, ana
across the isle the dainty pink
shell of femininity barely show
ing amongst the golden tresses,
and never yet have we been able
to locate a ?et like ours, which
are about midway between those
of a Missouri mule and the flaps
on a blind bridle . . . and con
sequently hear an awful lot . . :
Occasionally we are seated be
hind a "wobbler," one of the
nervous type of theatre-goer,
who just about the time we have
worked out a line of vision en
abling us to see the characters
on the screen, at least those
standing, he shifts quickly, and
gets the weight on the other
side of his southern extremity
... In this case one never knows
how long he'll have to wait be
fore he catches another view of
the silver screen, but 'twill
never be long . . . Tried once to
see the whole cinema by means
of counter-doddling, and our
neck was sore and stiff for a
week . . . Since, we just assume
a stance, and trust to luck.

XX ALL THE TALK from
the political minority about the
welfare state, the Santa Clans
nurtmnani. and the premise
that individual Initiative is of
am further value, sine* good
old Uncle Samuel Is taking
car* of everyone from the
\ cradle to the grave, a good
many folks have coma to be
lieve that hunger and cold, and
misery and woe don't exist
anymore . . . that the President
and the Congress have prepar
ed an economic sedative that
precludes the pain, if any
exists . . . While the Roosevelt
welfare program carries on
here, as elsewhere, and eases
a good many of the worst pains
of the aged and the ill. and the
widows and the orphans, don't
you ever believe but that want
and privation exist in this
area, as well as in all other
lections of this plentiful land.
JOHN HOWELL, brought this
forcibly to the attention of the
patrons of the local elementary
school the other day, when he
sent out a note by the students,
seeking surplus clothing for the
children "who need warmer
clothes in order to come to
school." Those of us who try to
live "tolable" close to the masses
of the people, are surprised this
winter at the number of children
who are braving freezing weath
er in their quest for educational
advantage, without even so much
as a coat to protect their bodies
from the gales . . . Individuals
along the street are helping Mr.
Howell to a degree with the pro
blem facing him every day, as
the benumbed youngsters file in
to his class '"onu to be warm for
a while, ana to catch more cold
when they journey again into
the elements . . . Others should
join in, to the end that our
youngsters may all be protected
from the col^ . . . Other com'
munities have the same problem,
all of which could be eased .with
little individual expense in a
concerted action . . These foes of
public charities are doing a lot
to do away with local charitable
tendencies, with their fallacious
representations of comfort and
ease, and luxury, all at the ex
pense of the limited number who
succeed and who pay the mount
ing taxes . . . and strangely
enough, appear to believe 'that
the ipore folks who languish in
misery, the longer a non-Com
munist form of government will
exist.

Publicity In Texas
Texas Newspaper Says Dr.
Dougherty oldest in
Poiqt of Service.
The Houston Press, one of the!
leading newspapers of the south
west, picked Appalachian State
Teachers College as the unique
college in the South at the re
cent meeting of the Southern
Association of Colleges. It car
ried a picture of President
Dougherty and a story about the
college, as follows:
Dr. Blandford Barnard Dough
erty, magna cum laude Man of
Distinction from his silver hair
to gold-headed cane, is the na
tions ol^pst college president in
point of service to his institution
The presideat of Appalachian
State Teachers College has guid
ed the Boone, N. C., school from
a third grade reader level in
1899 to its present graduate school
status.
Dr. Dougherty, spry and alert
at present, is in Houston to attend
the 54th annual meeting of the
Southern Assn. of Colleges and
Secondary Schools at the Rice
Hotel.
He is accompanied by his nep
hew, Edwin Dougherty, a profes
sor of history at Appalachian
State and a son of the late Dau
phin D. Dougherty, who served
as co-principal and co-president
of the school, located atop the
Blue Ridge Mts., until his death
in 1929.
"This gold-headed cane belong
ed to my brother," Dr. Dougherty
said. "He received it when he
graduated from Wake Forest.
Class of '92 ? they were 'caned
instead of receiving rings."
The present president of Ap
palachian State Teachers, which
observed its 50th anniversary this
summer while Watauga County,
N. C., was celebrating a centen
niaL birthday, joined nis brother
at the school in 1899.
Four in IS
Prior to beginning his teaching
career, young Blanford Barnard
spent 12 years getting a college
education. And in four different
colleges.
Retarded funds, not retarded
mind, accounted fur the lang
course.
"I had to stop school every
year and teach until I had enough
money to go back," said the man
reared at Boone, where his fath
er was a land trader.
"Had a good reason for chang
ing schools, too," he said. "Some
thing always happened."
He switched from Wake Forest
to Holly Springs, Tenn., because
his brother was teaching there;
from Holly Springs to Carson &
Newman in Jefferson City, Tenn.,
because it was a "cultural col
lege" and finally to the Univer
sity of North Carolina because he
wanted to study education.
Year By Y?ar Growth
But Dr. Dougherty has stayed
faithfully with his first school
job ? at the then-Watauga Aca
demy.
Here's how it grew: In 1903 the
state donated funds to convert
the academy to a teacher training
school with subjects through high
school level; in 1924, it became a
one- year college; in 1926 .another
year was added; in 1929. it be
came a full four-year college; in
1942 the first graduate work was
offered and in 1948 the first mast
er's degree awarded.
Last summer BOO students from
108 colleges and universities took
graduate work at the North Car
olina school.
"We have three important
things to offer," said Dr. Dough
erty. "Instruction, beautiful
scenery and cool weather."

Social Security
Aids 77 in County
In Watauga county, 77 persons
received $938.00 in monthly
Social Security benefits during
June 1949, according to a state
ment released this week by Mr.
Louis H. Clement, manager of
the Salisbury field office. These
ents represent the amounts
to Wage earners, their
wives, children and parents.
Lump-sum' payments which
were made when no person was
entitled to receive monthly bene
fits are in addition to these
amounts.
Payments under Title II of the
Social Security Act, as amended,
are made to fully insured wage
earners who are at least sixty
five years old. The wives of
such persons are also entitled to
receive monthly benefits if they
are sixty-five years old or older.
Unmarried children of such
wage earners are also entitled if
they are less than eighteen years
old.
Survivors benefits are payable
to widows who have attained
age sixty-five, to widows who
have children entitled to bene
fits in their care, unmarried
children under age eighteen and
who were dependent upon the
wage earner and to parents who
were chiefly dependent upon
and supported by a deceased
wage earner.
Mr. Clement advises persons
who live in this county to write
the field office of the Social
Security Administration, 3030
Postoffice Building, Salisbury,
N. C. in order to ascertain the
date when a representative of
the field office expects to visit
this area.

is again seeking contributions
for the benefit of the club's

been doing a fine job for the
past several years in providing
Christmas cheer as well as
clothing for the underprivileged
children of the immediate area.
Mrs. Warm an, who is chair
man of the empty stocking acti

was able to buy confections,
etc., as well as substantial
j amounts of clothing for about
110 children, and that many oth
ers need to be included this
year. She asks that the people
contribute generously to the
fund in order that tjie fund may
serve the largest possible num
ber of these needy children.
Mrs. Warman revealed that
some of the children who receiv
ed gifts last year stated that
they have never had any
Christmas gifts before. She and
her organization is anxious that
every needy child in this section
is aided this Christmas.
Those willing to aid in this
worthy activity, should make
remittance direct to Mrs. War
man, or, if more convenient,
leave them with Rob Riven at
the Democrat office. A prompt
response is urged, so that defi
nite plans may be made for this
year's distribution.

Average of $45.00
Paid for Tobacco
Although the figures from the
Wednesday's sales are unavail
able, it is estimated that this ev
ening total season sales on the
doors of the Mountain Burley
Warehouse Co., will exceed three
quarters of a million pounds.
The season average is approxi
mately $49.00 per hundred, It was
learned yesterday.
Light sales are continuing due
to the drf weather, which has
prevented any extensive grading
of the powdery leaf. Growers
and warehaMMBMn are anxiously
scanning the skies for sign* of
rain, which is sorely needed to
bring the leaf into condition for
hsQuinf!
Farmers are able to bring their
tobacco to town, sell it and re
turn home within a short time,
and those who have their weed
graded are taking the advantage
of the opportunity to gpt immed
iate sales .while the receipts are
light.
Good smoking grades are still
bringing top prices and ware
housemen insist that growers
grade their crops carefully in or
der to secure the best possible
figure.
Sales will be held Thursday at
the Farmers Warehouse and on
Friday at No. 2 house.
State Taxpayers
. Urged To File
The State Department of Rev
enue ia instituting a crack-down
on those who are supposed to
pay income taxes, and who have
not filed, says Wade H. Lee, of
Lenoir, deputy collector with the
department.
Those who haven't filed, says
Mr. Lee. are given the opportuni
ty of filing these delinquent re
turns by the end of December and
save the penalties provided. Only
the interest will be added. Fur
ther delay, however, will result
in the assessment of the 29% pen
alty, or not less than $5 in any
case.
Mr. Lee says that a great many
people are not familiar with the
State income tax laws which
were enacted by vote of the peo
ple in 1920. He points out that
all married people with an In
come of $2,000 or more, are re
quired to file, and that single
persons earning $12000 or more
yearly must file, women, mar
ried or single, are required to
file if their income is as much as
$1,000. A $200 exemption is al
lowed for each dependent rela
tive.
Mr. Lee will be in Watauga
county at a later date to aid tax
payers with their problems.
