rj ^WASHINGTON j: WHAT IS TAKING PLACE BY r r c [ i a President Roosevelt's appeal to the American people to travel as a means of securing a new concep tion of national problems, made in the course of a radio address from Cleveland, has been the sub ject of widespread comment. This iB true because "field work", as the President terms the observa tions gained through travel, will help to break-down provincialism and narrow viewpoints so fre quently encountered among those who see national conditions only in the light of their immediate needs. At the risk of injecting a per sonal note into t'his column, I would like to say that it is most gratifying to find the Chief Exe cutive of the United States stress ing a point that I have often made. Travel has always been a method of securing fresh information and understanding. And I am sure that I can say, with pardonable pride, that travel at home and abroad has been most helpful to me in > making decisions with reference to attitude and action on legisla tive proposals. It has brought a better understanding of how these j: proposals will ^affect the great cross-section of our citizens. j Why is travel helpful? It is a I proper question and deserves an answer. The North Carolina farm er, worried over cotton prices and 1 surpluses, goes to the West and he finds that the Vheat market ; is a sourc? of concern to the Wes tern farmer. Thus he is impressed with the fact that the problem of agriculture is national in scope and he has a more sympathetic ; attitude toward those trying to solve it. In other words, the North Carolinian secures a better under- 1 standing of the problem from a national rather than a local view point. The same holds true of the manufacturer, the storekeeper and "tie teacher. Sometime ago, in discussing travel with a teacher in one of the North Carolina schools, she told me of a trip she had made to the p^cifi^Mft|L qnd the national ??^^HJH^CVest. She bad new flBBBrasmfor her duties and there is no doubt that the first hand information she brought to her students made a greater im pression than would have the same information gleaned from a textbook. As one who has traveled con siderably, and at all times urged others to travel, it is a source of satisfaction to find that the Pre sident holds to the same idea. His understanding of national and international problems, gained through travel, was one of the arguments used m his favor when! he was first mentioned for the Presidency. Its advantage has been | amply demonstrated from time to j time as he has been forced to ad vance programs, which might notij be advantageous to particular sec-j tions, but were designed to help the country as a whole. No one: Questioned the sincerity of the i President because they knew that) he had first-hand knowledge of the actual effect of the legislation he advocated. In reading the President's Cleveland address, one paragraph stood out. It was with reference to the advice that the Chief Execu tive had once given a young friend. In the words of the Pre sident, he said: "Take a second hand car, put on a flannel shirt, drive out to the Coast by the northern route and come back by' the southern route. Don't talk to your banking friends or your Chamber of Commerce friends, but specialize on the gasoline sta- | tion man, the small restauranti keeper and the farmers you meet'1 by the wayside and your fellow automobile travelers." That paragraph made an im pression because I had done just that. Two years ago, traveling by trailer, I had covered the route the President had suggested and had talked with the people he identified. The benefits gained cannot be adequately expressed in understandable terms. Naturally, when the President of the United States urges the American people to something which an individual has long ad vocated, that individual must be' pardoned for finding it a great' source of personal satisfaction?1 such as that I now find. Hducatlonal meetings are being Jield in Transylvania County to adl?0UM til* organization of Granges at LlttJs River, Rosman, and Brevard.

ANSWER: Lump-sum payments ire now being made daily, but it ' ppears many persons who have urns due them have not tiled laims. No payment is made un- 1 ess claim is filed. If you have 1 eached 65 since last January 1 nd have been paid wages for 1 irork done as an employee since ' ast December 31 in any employ nent which is noti specifically ex epted under the old-age benefit ?rovisiona~dI the Social Security let a payment is due you. If you lave a legal interest in the estate >f a worker who has died since ast December 31 a payment may >e due you. -Your nearest Social Security Board Field OfTice will ;ive you every assistance. QUESTION: Is it true that ?10 s the least any worker will get inder the Social Security Act vhen he reaches 65 years? ANSWER: The minimum nonthly old-age benefit payment ffhich will be made to those em iloyees who qualify for mont-hly jenefits will be $10 a month. Pay ment. of these will not begin un .it jauuary iwcauwunc ump-sum payments are made to workers who have reached 65 since last January 1 and have luallfied for lump-sum payments. The amount of a lump-sum pay ment to an individual will vary, ind will depend on the amount of the wages earned by t'he indi vidual. The payment will be 34 per cent of total wages. For ex ample: Suppose wages amounted to $100; the lump-sum payment would be $35. QUESTION: When will unem ployment compensation benefit payments begin? ANSWER: Payment of unem ployment compensation benefit? will be begun to eligible workers next January in the District of Columbia, Maryland. North Caro lina, Virginia and West Virginia and many other States. QUESTION: How much public assistance am I entitled to each mont'h? ANSWER: The public assist ance part of the Social Security program is a State-Federal pro gram, which is administered by the State, under, the supervision of Mrs. W. T. Bost, Commission er of Public Welfare for the State of North Carolina, in accordance wit'h a State plan approved by the Social Security Board as meeting the requirements of the Social Security Act. The Act does not specify what amount shall be paid to an individual. The amount is determined by the State and is based on the need of the individ ual. Do not confuse old-age assis tance with old-age insurance. Plans have just been completed to work the Johnston County ter racing unit twelve months a year instead of eight. Mosquitoes and doctors are vastly different. The mosquito presents his bill before he works on you. Still Coughing? No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold, or bronchial irritation, you can get relief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may be brewing and you cannot afford to take a chance with any remedy less potent than Creomulsion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble and aids na ture to soothe and heal the inflamed mucous membranes and to loosen and expel the germ-laden phlegm. Even if other remedies have failed, don't be discouraged, try Creomul sion. Tour druggist is authorized to refund your money If you are not thoroughly satisfied with the bene fits obtained from the very first bottle. Creomulsion Is one word? not two, and It has no hyphen in It. Ask for it plainly, see that the name on the bottle is Creomulsion, and youll get the genuine product and the relief you want. (Adv.)

James 3. , Golden Text: Ephesians 4:29. , No writing in the New Testa- . ment has inspired more contradic- , tory interpretations . than the * Epistle of James. It has been call ed the earliest' and the latest of _ the New Testament books, and . while one group of students insist that it is nearer than any other . book to the real teaching of Jesus, others have argued that it is not Christian at all, but a Jew ish tract. Still others refuse to concede that it is definitely Jew ish, and call it the creation of a Greek ethical teachers. Who was James? The tradition- ' al view is that he was James the J Just, the Lord's brother, the Bish- 1 op or President of the Jerusalem 8 Church who died a .martyr. But) the name James was so common. 8 and the letter is so silent about ' his identity, that we are only s^fe * in saying he was a Christian ' teacher called James who wrote 8 his Epistle about t-he year 100. Luther contemptuously de- * nounced the book as "that Epistle j of straw." No doubt he waB irked 1 by the fact that James mentions 1 the name of Christ only twice, J says little about: Christian beliefs, J and seems, in his disparagement ' of faith as compared with works, 1 to object to Paul's memorable doctrine of Justification by Faith which Luther made the basis of < t'he Reformation. But Luther's ( dispraise has no merit. For while ' James has little interest in theo- ' logical ideas he is fully Christian as is indicated by the likeness of his letter to the Sermon on the I Mount. And there is no at-tack on < Paul. With all that James says in i chapter 2 about the uselessness of i a faith without practical expres sion Paul would have heartily ! agreed. The letter abounds in moral in struct'ion of the greatest value, characterized by unusual common sense and warm sincerity. Chap ter 3, chosen for our lesson, is a highly practical discussion of the urgent need for self-control in speech in view of the amazing mischief for which the tongue can | be responsible. "You can tell a man something he already knows and you're a great guy," says Boza, "but try to tell him something he doesn't know and you are a cockeyed OFFICIAL CHAPERON E8 Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 7 ?
