Carolina Watchman Published Every Friday Morning At ' SALISBURY, NORTH CAROLINA 1 — 1 E. W. G. Huffman, Publisher < A. R. Monroe, _ Business Mgr. | SUBSCRIPTION RATES , ■ Payable In Advance < One Year - $1.00 Three Years - $2.00 Entered as second-class mail matter at the postoffice at Sal isbury, N. C., under the act of March 3, 1879. The influence of weekly news papers on public opinion exceeds that of all other publications in the country.—Arthur Brisbane. MR. ROPER IS ENCOURAG ING We find encouragement for those who have been alarmed by the threats of some members of President Roosevelt’s Administra tion in the recent speech by Secre tary of Commerce Daniel C. Rop er. Mr. Roper does not believe the present program of the Gov ernment is toward the complete socialization of America, the stif ling of individual initiative and the reduction of everybody to the position of a dependent of the State. "The question will continue to be asked,” said Mr. Roper, w'hether the Federal Government lirw^pr* rViic Arlmimcfrafinn ntans nr proposes to increase permanently bureaucracy and Federal control of business, to the extent of de stroying our economic system by eliminating profits in business, and thu submerging and imprisoning human initiative, acknowledged to be the greatest asset in the build ing of our country and the devel oping of our trade and commerce. Certainly no one with the proper knowledge of conditions can in terpret in the Recovery Program such an intention or objective on the part of the present Administra tion. To think otherwise is to say that a Government under which people have advanced most and attained most should be ex changed for a form under which people advance least.” We hope that Mr. Roper spoke with the f !■( knowledge and in f^fvrvmpnf .if : lii* rpcnnnciKU Uo-irl i. - of the Federal Government, One trouble we have in trying to un derstand what Washington is driving at, sometimes, is that so many things are said, with the im plication that they represent the President’s views, which do not conform in any way to Mr. Roper’s utterances. We do not see how anybody but a rabid Marxist can quarrel with Mr. Roper’s point of view. We trust this may not turn out to be another of those utterances which represent only one man’s ideas and which are not to be taken as com miting the Administration to any thing. THE WORLD IN A LIGHT GLOBE When you switch on an electric lamp, you’re using materials that came originally from almost every _ • . 1 11 T - 1 I* WUJIWIJ' All V1AC nuuu. All U14V AIL tie globe that cost you 20 or 30 cents, there’s antimony from Mexi co, thoria from Brazil, niter and silica from Chile, cobalt and nickel from New Caledonia, bismuth from Australia, tin from the Malay Pen insula, manganese from India, pot ash from Russia, sodium carbonate from East Africa, arsenic from Greenland—and so it goes down a long similar list of items. As has been said, the electric lamp is literally the light of the world. A WORM IS TURNING Millions of investors, injured by political horse-play, are going to fight for their savings. They are tired of being slapped in the face with political pie to secure public applause and votes. LXWUNOi'V^KlAilOiN 15 VllAi Away back in Thomas Jeffer- | on’s administration the Govern- . nent of the United States, realiz ng that they could not build a mified nation without means of :ommunication and transportation ictween its different parts, began i program of highway building >ver the Alleghenies. The State >f New York, fearing the diver ion of the commerce of the new y-opened West to the ports of Jaltimore and Philadelphia, set it If _1_ _!

The Common wealth of Pennsylvania cut a canal from the headwaters of Ohio to the Delaware. Mayland had earlier built a canal to connect the Ohio watershed with that of the Potomac. When the steam locomotive was developed and railroads began to be built, again it was the province of the Government to encourage the development of this mode of transportation; and most of the main line railroad mileage in the United States was constructed with the aid of public funds, Federal State or local. And the newest form of transportation, the air kic koon krnil okf tn ifS r-3 -- <-> present state of efficiency and iafely largely by Government aid. We think that the development, perfection and maintenance of means of transportation and com munication is one way of spend ing public money which not only meets with least resistence from taxpayers who have to provide the funds, but furnishes the most last ing and valuable asset to the na tion and its component units. W approve of all the programs of highway improvement and exten sion, and we approve, also, of the svay in which the Federal Govern ment, through the R.F.C., is help ing the railroads to improve their systems. There is something that appeals to the imagination in the efforts of the railroads- to provide swifter, more comfortable travel. The new streamlined, air-conditioned trains which several lines are be ginning to put into operation, sug gest that the railroad is not obso lete. It never will be. It can provide services which neither the motorcar nor the airplane can give. We do not think any of these has reached perfection, any more than mything ejse is perfect. We be lieve it is in the public’s interest to help the further improvement md development of all of them. The country has been hearing talk of a business boom for so long low that it is inclined to be skep tical as to whether or not such an inimal exists. According to the lusiness and financial periodicals, ind the various reports ol tact gathering organizations, it does. It isn’t a very big animal yet, but it can be seen, felt and heard. All af the consumer industries are find ing themselves with more orders than they’ve had for years. "In dustry’s industries”, such as steel, which sell their products to other businesess and not directly to the tonsumer, aren’t doing so well, but they’re moving upward. Detroit, which saw the worst of the depression, is seeing the best of •ecovery. According to Time, the s the first period in five years in which car manufacturers can’t fill :heir orders. In January, Chrys er, with the most unusual of all :he new stock cars, had 21,000 nore men at work than last year. Ford opened two additional assemb y plants. Nash estimated that it -vuum ueiiver more cars in me iirst quarter of this year than in all of last. Cadillac reported deliveries iO per cent above last year. Gen :ral Motors faced 100,000 orders tor Chevrolet alone. Tire com panies were jubilant, with a Good year expert predicting tire sales for 1934 would reach the great total of 16,000,000 units.

State Holds Top In Hosiery Making North Carolina’s leadership in southern hosiery producing contin ues to mount,' it is shown by fig ures on installation for the pro ducing equipment for the year 19 33, when 50 per cent of the new cirvular knitting machines for the entire south were set up in this state and when 80 per cent of the new full-fashioned producing eq uipment was set up in plants with in this state. Southern knitting mills installed a total of 3,375 additional mach ines in 1933, compared with 2,357 in 1932 and 4,990 in 1932 Of the machines installed, according to a census just recently completed, 3,107 are circular knitting ma chines and 268 of the full-fashion ed type. The increase by states shows in the circular knitters North Carolina leading with 1,524 and other Dixie states following thus: Virginia, 593; Tennessee, 510; Georgia, 371; Alabama, 84, and Texas, 25. Of the full-fash ioned machinery North Carolina mills installed 210 machines, while Georgia had 34, Tennessee, 11; Virginia, seven, and Texas, six. Br Dr. ALLEN G. IRELAND | Drrectar.

And this is what they say about the school lunch: that pupils are made physically and mentally nl/ai.4- Vvtt morm uncheon; that after noon work shows a marked improve ment; that behavior problems decrease while genuine inter est in school activi lies grows; mai a better spirit, a more wholesome so cial atmosphere-prevails. Even the simplest type of school lunch, where one hot dish and warm milk are prepared to supplement the cold food 1 nought from home, is said to be'afl ffKrneasurably valu able aid to good teaching. Refresh ing, stimulating, cheering, it makes the job easier, not to mention the benefits derived by the children. The appetite is sharpened, so that more of the lunch is eaten. Also, it is eaten more slowly and the di gestive processes are improved. Isn’t it obvious that the child machine will function efficiently (and, we should add, happily) tc the extent that its fuel is proper ir quality and adequate in amount' To be a good pupil, a well-behave< pupil, with powers of attention anc concentration, the child must b< well nourished and refreshed. “Not Free to Gain" is the in triguing title of Dr. Ireland’s nex article.

Innes St. Uncle Sam holds the key to real > and permanent prosperity—the key which the cartoonist has labeled "Loans to Industry.” Our gov ernment has tried other keys in the : form of loans to banks, railroads, insurance companies and agricul ture, but they do not seem to fit the main lock on the front door. These other keys are all right for ' special compartments within the recovery structure it«°lf but they fail to open the gateway through which the nation as a whole may ' enter. < Open the door to Industry with R.F.C. loans—the same kind of loans Uncle Sam has been making ^ , for nearly two years to other groups in our national economic 1 life—and millions more people can ■; be put to work at a profit not onlv s to themselves but to Industry itself, 1 to the banks, railroads, insurance j companies and to the farmers who ONE SHOT BRINGS DOWN TWO EAGLES Camren—Two huge bald eagles were brought down with a single shot by Luther ones, of Mildam. One eagle had a wing spread lack ing only one inch of being seven feet. The wing spread of the other was an inch shorter. The two eagles were circling Johns lot. He seized his shotgun and a the two flew together, he blazed away. Both fell. lave already been helped. The first concern at Washing :on has been to see that people were ^iven jobs—and jobs were created ‘or them at government expense. We agree with the administration n that procedure when it becomes vitally necessary to supply people ivith a chance to make a living, jut why not, since people must be ;iven jobs, open the regular chan lels ef Industrial employment and Jut them to work at productive abor, in jobs at which they are experienced? Until Industry is given a chance o get back to normalcy, nothsii^ lse can get back to normalcy no latter how much is spent on round :bout patching of the economic tructure. All of the groups that lave received loans to date are de lendent upon Industrial prosperity, fhey will use up loan after loan so long as the chief hopper of In dustry is empty. What can the railroads mo« without Industry? From what other source can banks draw de posits? If the Industrial employe doesn’t work, from whom will in surance companies collect pre miums? And if the Industrial cities can’t buy the farmrs’ pro duce, how will agriculture prosper? Industry, suffering from the same shrinkages and depreciations as these other group, is in need of R.F.C. loans. Give it this help and I the main door to re-employment will be thrown open- Ai^"T*- ara^y of workers will get back on their old jobs and the investor, the fel low who can’t draw his money from closed banks, that other un fortunate, the lapsed policy holder, and the farmer will reap their due from the profits earned by Indus trial labor and Industrial capital.
