The Meanest Man The man who cut down approximately S4 small American elm trees set out by eWA workers in Hollywood cemetery at Elkin is entitled to the sobriquet of the **meanest man.” It is not difficult to find a motive for the cowardly act. Someone opposed to planting the trees there or who was dis* satisfied with the civil works progrf.m as it is administered was responsible. For one to vent his spleen in such a manner is indefensible. We could under stand it if the guilty party had walked up to somebody and handed out a black eye or so. A he-man might prod the head of _ the one responsible for setting out the trees, but no he-man would invade a cemetery and cut down trees that are in tended to beautify the place of the dead. Word that the culprit or culprits have been caught would be good news. Should Be Approved It is earnestly hoped that the applica' tion of the Wilkes & Western Railway company for permission to rehabilitate and operate the old Watauga and Yadkin Valley railroad will be approved and that negotiations for the necessary loans from the RPC will be successful. Not only would the rebuilding of the road provide considerable employment for a large number of those now out of work, but it would also provide a means of transporting millions of feet of lumber and other forest and farm products out of a territory that is rich in these resourc- The project is one that meets the re quirements, we feel confident, of the in- . tention of the public works administra- tion and we hope that the Interstate Com- ^"Vfnerce Commission will find it advisable approve the application of the local e»npany. ganizations to aponaqj^ohe of the^op#*" velt "BirlSday BalJlIf is one upon which they are to be congratulated, n ^ •As we pointed out in our last issue, thet’ Warm Sprii^s Foundation is a wc^j^ enterprise. The effects of infant^ ;'pa^ ralysis are not such that they cannot, in a measure, be overcome. President Roose velt is an example of what the propOT treatment and a never-say-die spirit^ will do to prevent this affliction from ruining a career. If through a charity bal), we can aid others so afflicted who are less fortunate in a financial way that the man who is now our Chief Executive, we should be glad to give our full co-operation. The readiness of communities all over the nation to join in such a movement is ample evidence that the heart of America is still sound and that materialism has not advanced beyond the embryo stage. Fear that the American people are thinking too much of the dollar and too little of human needs banishes in the light of such a manifesta tion of willingness to help when called upon to do so. Where To Begin The way to end crime waves is through education. The way to develop a higher civilization is through proper training in the home. An acquaintance of Socrates is said to have asked the Greek philosopher the age when child training ^ould be started. This reply is attributed to Socrates; “About 20 years before he is bom.” The statement is full of wisdom. Children are not bom. criminals. Their home train ing and their environment make them so. Many a well meaning parent is responsible, but more often the trouble lies in the indif ference of the parents. The place to begin making good citizens is the home. The prevalence of crime in the land suggests that home training today is not what it ought to be. There is an obvious need for more attention to the matter of bringing children up with better home train ing. Borrowed Comment / ' Dry Yancey The Greensboro Daily News is moved 'to comment on the aridity of Yancey county, banner North Carolina dry county P in the repeal election November 7 last 'year. It comj;)[ients as follows: WHERR THE MKETINO STOPPED SHORT (Charlotte Observer) There is no mistaking the demand of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County for a reduction in the cost of automobile license plates, the standard price of $3 being fixed upon. This is destined to be the first matter the next Legislature will get out of the way and it is an assured prospect that after next year, North Carolina will be known as a State of reasonable license tariff and also of something like an equitable tax on gasoline. The fate of the legislative candidate who might be against lower tariff on license plates is sealed in advance. The protest meeting should have g6ne further and made demand that a driver’s license law be provide for the State, for that is an out standing need. It has been frequently pointed out that in North Carolina any sort of a driver in any sort of a car, can take to the streets and roads and it is this circumstance that largely accounts for the massacre of over 100 people during the single month of November. The American Auto mobile Association reports that 28 States and the District of Columbia are protected by laws re quiring all operators of motor cai*s to be licensed —and before a license is granted, the driver must undergo a test which develops bis ability to saf- | ely handle a car or truck. The lower priced tag saves money; the licensed driver law saves prop erty and lives. The Mecklenburg meeting stopped a little short, but the licensed driver law is com ing, all the same. Luvt Crowd Atteadi Jieet- ing: HeM Thm&y After noon At Anfitorinm The program of the North WIl- keaboro Parent-Tsacher Auoci- atton meeting ’Thursday after- nooB in tee city school auditor ium was featured by the'? excel lent address of Dr, J.

The undernourished child and tee* nervous child were cited and suggestions for overcoming these handicaps were given. Dr. Mc Neill was presented by Mrs. PbI- mer Horton, program chairman. A record crowd was present at tee meeting and heard Dr. Mc Neill’s address. Mrs. B. G. Finley, president, presided, and read a New Year poem to open the meeting. The usual routine of business was transacted and reports from com mittee chairmen were heard. It was announced that Mrs. J. L. Henderson, of Hickory, presi dent of the State Parent-Teacher Association, would be present for the February meeting at which “Founder’s Day’’ will he observ ed. Copies of the "Child Welfare Magaslne” were distributed among the teachers of the pri mary grades for use, of both par ents and teachers.

They have also cleaned out the boiler which seems to have improved conditions considerably. These men seem to be well up pn their job. At chapel Tuesday morning of last week. Mrs. Lena Billings gave a very interesting lecture on the formations of habits. Mrs. Hattie Pruitt Brown con ducted prayer meeting at the Bap tist church Wednesday night. Mr! C. D. Holbrook, who has been indisposed with a cold for the past few days, is better. Mr. C. M. Dickson spent the week-end with home folks in Ashe. A double-header basketball game was played on the court at this place January 4 between our sta- dents and those of Mount Pleasant High school. The Traphill boys lost by 13 to 26. while the girls won by a score of 8 to 32. Miss Rosa Lee Pruitt is visiting her sister, Mrs. R- D. Kearney, of Franklinton, N. C., at the present time. Mr. Charlie Miles, who has been confined to his room with measles for the past three weeks, is right much better, we are glad to say. A very fortunate thing in regard to his case is that, so far, no one else has taken the disease. On Thursday, January 11th, the Traphill girls and boys played the Ronda basketball teams on the lat ter’s court. The score stood 13 and 26, and 4 and 41 in favor of the Ronda girls and boys, respectively. I Checker contests on an alaborate scale, commencing in local fertflis- er stores and finishing with a play off of sectional winners at the state capital, have juat been announced by The Barrett Company, distidbu- tor of Arcadian, the American- made nifrate of soda. Valuable medals and fertilizer will be award ed as prizes. The play is open to farmers and agricultural folks only, it was dis closed. Enimination games will be conducted in local fertiliser stores during January, store winners to qualify as contestants in the coun ty play-offs which will be held soon. Sectional and state tournaments will follow. ‘"Ihere are no obligations or strings attached to these contests.” it was stated by a Barrett repre sentative. "This is merely the com pany’s way of encouraging farmers to become further acquainted with the high quality American product which Arcadian nitrate of soda has proven itself to be.” Here is a real opportunity for players with local reputations to sharpen up. their game and go out after bigger things. There should be plenty of good fun and excite ment in store for those who like the game.

Adams, 66, of Savannah, Ga., was in jail here today in default of *200 bond charged with robbing the Rev. J. B. Needham of Danbury at the close of an evangelistic service last night. Mr. Needham said he felt some one picking his pocket as he left the church and gave chase to Adams with friends. Needham said An old plow and pick, hcllevca to he between 126 and 160 years old, are dh display at the Bum garner & Tomlinson Blacksmith Shop in this city. The plow and pick were both made hy S. A.

SAITCD BY CX)CA COLA (From Charlotte Observer) They have had a hard time in Atlanta, as in all other cities. People have been unable to pay taxes promptly and homes had been advertised for sale, to raise money which to pay the expenses of municipal government. It was a bad situation, but Atlanta happens to have an appreciative com mercial and industrial organization doing busi ness In shape of the Coca Cola corporation. Mfhat did this corporation do but voluntarily advance the city J300,000 with which to meet Its emer gency? Atlanta has reason to be proud of the Coca Cola company. Many cities have prosperous Industrial organizations, but mighty few of these concerns develop the patriotic spirit put Into evi dence by the Coca Cola people.
