Parldiig Problem Other cities evidentiy have the same parking problems which disturbs tiie •erenity of persons who travel the streets of North Wilkesboro. Prom the Lenoir News-Topic, we glean the following edi- tMial paragraph: Attention of the city police is inrited to a con- AitiM that caoses both aanoyaiice sad danger Aa reUeidar traffic on West avenue on Toesdays and Saturdays and which is occasioned by the practice of some residents who leave their cars ■Undiag either in the middle of the street or parii^ head-on to the curb while visiting the €mh msrtet. The police can render a pubHe aarvice by finding some other parking place for thaae who habitually transgress the ordinary traffic rules in such manner. The police of North Wilkesboro seem ingly have done everything possible to re lieve the situation without actually arrest ing the offending motorists and they are to be comraended for their courteous ef- forts at educating the puUic to a r^ason- aWe interpretation of what the streets are for. But apparently, more stringent meas ures must be adr pted if the parking prob lem is to be n .ieved. The police should not hesitate if a warning is insufficient. The Plight Of The Army Army airplanes looked better coming down out of the air than they did going up. If the interruption in contract flying of air mail serves no other purpose, it has established beyond doubt the inadequacy 01 our air corps and has revealed its in competency. The United States has been niggardly in its treatment of the very unit which, in case of war, would be our chief defense against an invading enemy. We are a peaceful nation, but that is no guarantee that we will not be attacked. e are op posed to heavy armaments. But for the nation to let its means of defense suffer from lack of adequate equipment and suf ficient training is like a policeman going around without his pistol or a billy. The poor showing made by anny fliers, if one interprets the record in that light, is not the fault of the fliers or army of ficials. The blame lies with Congress •which has never appropriated funds to in sure adequate equipment and a trained personnel. On the biisis of our recent experience, the conclusion might be reasonably reach ed that we would have to fight our next war with bombs sent by parcel post with comimercial planes in operation. rx * A Timely Warning County Superintendent of Schools El ler’s warning that those who violate the law by passing school busses while chil dren are being loaded and unloaded will be prosecuted is timely. It may save the life of some child. That child may be yours. Who knows? Children will be children. There is no way of knowing just what a particular re action of the moment may cause them to do. Forgetful of everything but that spe cial something which happens to be fore most in their thoughts, they are just as apt to dash across the highway as they are to look up the road to see if anybody h»W)ens to be passing. There is no denying that. For the safety of our school children, laws were enacted to require motorists to stop while the diildren are getting on and - busses. It is our duty to observe these regulations. It is important that we pre- yant accidents growing out of failure to observe the law from happening. And we, :• therefore, urge drivers of autoihobiles to be partiottlwrly careful when school chil- drea se oa the hq^ways. The schools also have an oUigation. oMigation is to teach the children to ^tttious m their way to and from Gertain^y, instructions should be Mhsa OB the law which requires that ... ....

The problem is where to gp. That is the aim of the agency headed by Mr. Wooten. If Mr. Wooten’s office is able to locate places for stranded families, all heads should be bared in appreciation of this service. There need be no fear, of over production. Most of those out of employ ment within the city limits, even if they get a place on the farm, will be lucky to prohiee fitt^icient food for the winter. A back-to-the farm program limited to a live-at-home production would go far to lessen the strain upon relief agencieS" next winter when the government may find it inadvisable to aid to the extent it has the past two years. Tke Senator^? View When the question of appropriating some $150,000,000 for the purpose of stabilizing the cattle industry came up in the United States Senate, North Cm*o- lina’s senior senator, Josiah W. Bailey, could not see his way clear to support the bill. The proposition was to deal with the price of cattle in much the same manner that tile AAA is handling prices of wheat, tobacco and several other farm commodi ties. Failing to«ee the light as others saw it, Senator Bailey gave expression to his thoughts as follows: “Some may probably feel that an appropri ation of $160,000,000 will increase the produc tion of this industry, will bring about a greater production of milk, of cream, of butter, and of cheese. ThaC is a silly idea, for the very reason that in this country of ours we have never yet experienced overproduction. Since the creation of this, the greatest nation of all the earth, much as we have had> we have never had too much. It has never been a question of overpro duction; it has been a question of under-con sumption. That is the trouble. “I am .sometimes nauseated when I hear peo ple say that the trouble In this country today is over-production." It is not over-production; it is under-consumption; and our products are not consumed because the people have not the mon ey with which to buy them.” We find no fault with his logic. What the country needs is a system of distribu tion that will place the so-called surplus of food products in the mouths of undernour ished children and hungry adults. Eggs are cheap on the local market. The price is ruinous to the poultry grower. But if everybody ate the number of eggs they ought to eat, Wilkes county would be short several thousand dozen. We sell milk to the cheese plant and send cream away, and we sell butter. But if everybody ate the amount of butter and drank the milk they need, we would soon be importing cows to increase our dairy herds. The senator is right. It’s not over-pro duction; it’s under-consunjption. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E.

Matt. 15:53-16; 12- Golden Text: Matt. 7:7. It is a striking fact that the greatest life ever livetj concentrated its energies upon a tiny area. Palestine do»s not comprise much more than 9,- 000 square miles, •which makes it about the size of our state of Veroiont. Now Jesus stepped out side this small region only once, in the incident of our lesson. Elxcept for- this single interrup tion, He lived entirely ■within the borders of the Holy Land, carrying on a varied ministipr in Galilee and Judea, with brief excursions into Samaria and Peraea. Within this circumscribedi district the Master lived the most complete and perfect life of which history has any record. As our lesson text points out, he conceived His mis sion in definitely Jewish terms. “I have only been sent to the lost sheep of the house of Is rael.". (Chap. 15:24.) One is reminded of the great German philoso pher, Immanuel Kant, who, although much in terested in geography, was never more than a few m)l°s distant from his native city Konigs- berg, in Prussia, and) never saw the sea, which could be reached by a walk of two hours- In that relatively unimportant provincial capital he spent a long, full life, rich in friendship, and profound in thought. A more familiar example is our o'wn Henry David Thoreau. who could never be persuaded to leave his native Concord, then a village of some 2,000 folk only. If people would be content to stay where they are, .^nd live simply, making Ute most of ■what is immediately at haad, life wobki be more serene and wholesome. Jesus, how-ever, did once cross *the border of Palestine into the Gentile territory of Syria, seeking retirement and recreation. But His fame had preceded Him, and *t once He 'was sought out by a Canaanitiah womaa of the dis trict who pe^iatently dsmanded that lier skk dk^niHtter Be relieved. So iatprasaed was the Mas ter by hUr ardwft faith that He granted her re- q«»*t ■ , If ArneUca were to continue in Its international relations on the principle that other nations must buy our goods but we would not buy any of theirs then we would , be laying up plenty trouble for ourselves and destroying all the. foreign markets, on which so much of our income from natural products, farm products and fac tory products depends. Wallace’s conclusion is that ^ the Nation should follow a mid-1 dle-of-the-road policy, neither wholly Nationalistic nor wholly i Internationalistic. And that, .his j admirers say. is what Mr. Roose- ^ velt has In mind in asking Con-. jgress for authority to elevate or reduce tariff schedules by Execu- ^ five order without having to sub-| mit them to revision by Congress ' " nor wait upon the slow “studies", by the Tariff Board necessary! under the existing law. The Roosevelt Courage Mr. Roosevelt’s friends call this the greatest display of cour age he has given yet. For there is no political topic which carries! so much dynamite in itself as the' tariff. More than one Adminis tration has been wrecked on the tariff rocks. One promising can didate for the Presidency, Gener al Winfield Scott Hancock, who ran on the Democratic ticket again General Garfield in 1880, probably would have been elected ^ had he not incurred the hostility of Eastern manufacturers by hlsj perfectly truthful but politically j tactless statement that“the tariff! is a local issue.’’ { It is Just because the tariff is; a local issue that it is so danger-j 0U8. It can stir up more sectional animosity than anything else in j politics. There Is nothing for| which the average Congressman | will fight so bitterly as for tariff protection tor the Industries of his home district, for not only votes but campaign funds ^ de pend upon hte record in that re spect more than in any ot.her par ticular.
