JULY 28. 1938 NEWSPAPERS DO THEIR SHARE Every movoiueiU started in the Inter. SI of pvo.servlng human life .and prunioting comfort and happiness To.achos, almo.st alwa.v.s llr.st. Into the of flea of newspapers in the form of calls for help in "educating” the peo ple into observing rules and obeying law.s. Thai those ealls do not go un hoed, d is .imply proved by the col umns iliai are flllod with admoni tions to p.rsons of high and low de gree to be so guided in their condH’Ct that no one, not even them^-elvoa. ■will snfivi- inconveni.'uce. liardshlp or mlsforluiu'. We have in mind particularly the tremendous neglect of automobile drlv.rs to observe tbo rules of safety. Uemeinlierlng that persons driving automobiles are supposed to be in- teliigeut enough to know what meth od of (Irlvlug Is safe and what Is not, The News f.-els It can reasonably as sume that safely rules should be ob served without so very much more "educating.*' .-Vnd yet this newspa per has devoted many columns in efforts to stimulate Interest In safety by ihoso who operate automobiles. Newspapers do their share In pro moting the well-being of the people who In'iablt this fast-revolving sphere, aiuli The News thinks the public Is fully aware of that fact. What must Impre.ss all thoughtful persons, h.iwevor, is the lack of In terest on the part of so many people in the Intelligent use of the infor mation at hand. For instance, the question may well hi' asked: Why Is It that an Intolllgeni per.son will do things well-known as dangerous to life and lualth? It shoul.l clearly be .soon that It Is not so much a matter of educating the people Into a knowledge and ob servance of rules of safely. Bettor w.iys of promoting health and happi ness and curbing fatalities on the hlgliw«.vs may be found In Listening Interest of those who are already educated. And the best way wo can th'lnk of for fastening that interest Is to block the speed of careless drivers. This State has an appliedi example of the eiYect of' that method' right now, although the application was not Intended in that direction. The hundreds of detours provided where repairs arc under way have served to curtail the number of accidents. This is no doubt the real factor In the decrease of Itlghway fatalities of late, and no one need be fooled Into thinking that drivers have siid'donly become "s.iefty conscious" through being ‘‘educated.’' HERE’S TO THE 4.H CLUBBERS Memlters of the 4-H Clubs iu Har nett County,.are this week enjoying the gaMierlngs at State College whore farmers, farm women and others Interested In Ih.. important Industry of providing food for the Nation a.Hsi'mhle each year with the announced purpose of learning more about their given tasks. It might be appropriately said In this connection that the more our agricultural friends learn about their work, the belter will we poor humans live in the years to come. Tl’.e -l-iH Clubbers no doubt are taking tbeir visit to the State’s headquart. rs for agricultural teach ing as a sort of ontlivg. It Isn’t oft en that a farm boy or farm ‘girl has an opportunity to view the plant, equipment and technique which North Carolina has provided; for their advancement, and now we may expect the youngsters to return home with Ideas tlrat some parents and olher.s may calculate will swell their heads. But that will not he the case, The News believes, la this Instance. The 4-H Club boys and girls of Harnett County have made some wonderful progress on tholr own hook, probably in most Instan ces Independent of their parents' guidance. For. truly, the younger generation on the farms of today have opportunity to grow up. in an atmosphere that Is laden with ideas loaded with possihllltlos of taking the drudge out of farm life. The .News Is wishing for the 4-H Clubbers all the loy that comes to ambitious youngsters fired by a de sire to make more comfortable and profitable a life that should not by any means bo the meanest In the world. If H'arnoll )s to have a live and progressive farm population In years to come, the efforts of the youngsters to belter equip themsel ves to overcome ohstaclos should' be encouraged In evtwy way possible. Here’s to the youngsters! May they get everything valuable out of their visit to State College. MORE AND BETTER BUSINESS AHEAD Now that a majority of the Nat ion’s leading economists haije de clared' their belief that a general up swing in business and industry Is just ahead. The News offers a.motion that the decision be made |,unani mous. Failing to see anything to hold back genuine recovery, the lecoiiomlsts tell hs that several fact ors are playing parts in bringing "happy days" back again. Some of the forecasters (we hope they are not to be drubbed sojRhsay- ers) tell us that one thing orjanoth- er may retard Improvement,' but most of them make an outrlgju pro phecy that good iiimes will colme de spite one or all of the handicaps, that may be placed In the way. ' For Instance, some say that this country is headed toward' recovery in a big wry hold that the govern- ntent should' let business alontj for a while and lot it recover (as 1;; sure ly will, they declare) of Its own vo lition. The seers vlew' the Govern ment’s activities in regulating; busi ness as more in the nature of: a big stick or threat to do this or hhat If such and such Is not done ir ad hered to. , I Well, perhaps there Is more than a little bit of truth In the declarn- ilion that .some of the Government's inctlvltles have hampered' the {return lof good times; then again, Itj must Ibe remembeied that In order [ for a sick patient to get well ther(|j must often come some painful treatment. Perhaps In the long run, sayj| when' recovery is being enjoyed, thc^ “bad medlclno". will be forgotten and all of us will join in singing prajses to everyone who has had anything to do with the resuscitation. I REST IS WHERE YOU FIND IT (Christian Science Moaltoi;)) Yioc-President Garner has j'some theories of his own. One of them Is that the best place to spend af.vaca- ilon is at homo. There Is ajigreal deni to be said for this policy c|r con ducting a front-porch campaign of Comfort, While others talk jjabout the heal, Mr. Garnor simply retires to his six acres and the big. brick house In Uvalde, Texas, and |}Uper- vlaos the gatlierlng of his grapjj crop and the care of his turkeys, r Of course, this may bo more of a change for Mr. Garner, who spend his winters.

There alnt meny folks thet wants to mess with the sun much no how, most spec’ally In July. many could' emulate with profit,.and satisfaction the 'Vlce-Prosldonij's ox- ample of a vacation at home, n Another and somewhat different Instance of relaxation amid famlllalr surroundings was affordotd lii the recent report of the rotirem'jnt o.f William P. Murp'hy, an employee of a'brokerage house in 'New Yorlt. Mr. Murphy, who started as an. jerrand boy and spent fifty years with the firm felt he would be lost without his work. So the firm held a little retirement celebration in hls.i honor but wilfh the understanding that he should be free to come back'ito his desk as muoh or as little as ho wish ed. There are many to whom such an arrangement would be a kind ness. Most people perhaps look forward to retirement as an opportunity for change of environment and activity," Just as the majority like a vioatlon' (0 see the country.

DUNN MINISTERS PLAN FIRST ANNUAL YOUTH WEEK PAYING RANSOM MONEY (Rural Press Service)ji When a person is kidnapped', it Is only natural that relatives should be willing to pay ahy. amount they: are a'ble to raise in order that th'e loved one might bo returned to them. Kid nappers know this, and tha;; why they ply their nefarious traile. If it were made unlawful to make ransom payments, and. the making of them construed as ’"compounding a felony,” It would remove !the In centive to kidnapping. In alirecent Canadian case the authorities step ped In and forbade the payment of ransom by the victim's relatives, When the criminals found that, no, money was forthcoming theyl turned the, man loose, not desiring'to add the crime of murder when theV knew, there would be no profit In it.
