Half the world doesn’t know how the other half got to the parking space first—Savannah (Gfu) Morning News- All Excellent Record In this motor age when road hogs are an too common, drivers who respect the rights of others are entitled to honor able mention. Drivers of the Greyhound Bus Lines, which offer transportation facilities in. this territory, particularly impress the average motorist tvith the courteous con sideration they give to others on the highways. We h«ve yet to observe one of their has drivers taking more than a rea sonable share of the road and their share on the proper side. And while we have no figures at hand to prove our opinion, the guess is ventured that f?r the num ber of miles traveled, a Greyhound bus has about 75 per cent fewer accidents than the average private automobile owner. About 90 per cent of all automobile ac cidents are avoidable. Speeding, drunken drivers and poorly conditioned cars are the major causes of accidents. All of these causes can and should be eliminated. And while we don’t expect to bring about these happy changes, citation of the bus company drivers as topping the list in careful and courteous driving is not undeserved, and is intended as an example rather than free advertising. A Century Ago The good old days. Yes, those were glorious times when people bothered not about taxes, land possessed a definite value, banks were loaning money on character alone and depressions were un heard of. Well, maybe. A. M. Loy, writing in the Cleveland Star, s{>eaks of the good old days of just one hundred years ago in the following language: One hundred .vears ago the banks in North Carolina had .su.spendcd payments, and nine- tenths of all the land was for sale- The governor, in his inaugural address, called North Carolina “a country worn down by the hand of adversity; the land is worn out; real es tate has -SO depreciated as not to possess a fixed value; p'ople are emigrating from the state: manufacturing advantages are unimprov ed; our schools and colleg;es are languishing from neglect.” Governor Swain said it cost more to run a session of the legislature than was spent for any other one thing. One hundred years ago, the politicians said there is too little tax on the rich and too much On th" poor. The governor declared that the main trouble with th' state was ignorance. About one-third of the people could read or write. The university at Chapel Hill had 120 students. One hundred years ago a newspaper pubbshed in Rutherfordton contained this advertisement: “Teacher wanted: Will pay $200 a year for a man who can t'ach Engl’sh, Latin, etc. It is also desirable that he should, understand vo’ce music.” The first denominational college was char tered- Judge Archibald D- Murphy was put »n jail for debt.s he owed- One hundr d years ago the first free school in the statr was opened in Johnston county- Maybe we haven’t traveled all the dis tance we should have traveled. But more than one third of the people can read and write. We've opened thousands of free schools for eight months to the boys and girls of our state. We’ve crowded our universities- and colleges with aspiring youngsters, who, if not entirely measuring up to the high standards we had set for them, ai’e at least making us a more toler ant and liberal-minded people. No, we haven’t changed human nature. ^ We’re still saying there is too little tax on the rich and too much on the poor. And we regret to add that we’re still paying our teachers too little. Take your pick, but deponent prefers the good old days of 1934 to the. good old days of 1884. estimated that the World ^.the nations of the world something like four hundred billion.dbllars besides'^ 30,- 000.000 lives.^ v . liie flgures^are so large that we ^compre hend them very faintly. T. D. Kenipt, Jr„ , in one of his syndicated artides which ^ peared in the Charlotte Observer, gives us another yardstick. One of the tasks to which the best minds of the world should be assigned is that of turning energy and money hereto fore used in destruction into productive channels. Mr. Kemp speaks his mind as follows: "With that amount we could have built a $2,500 home, furnished it with $1,000 worth of furniture, and placed it on five acres ^of good farm land worth $100 an acre and given all of this to each and every family in the United States, Canada, Australia, England, Wales, Ire land, Scotland, France, Belgium, Germany, Rus sia and Italy. “After doing all of this there would still be enough money left to give each city of 20,000 persons or over in all of the countries named above a five million dollar library and a 10-mil lion dollar university. “And then out of the balance we would still have sufficient money to set aside a sum at 5 per cent interest which would pay for all time to come a $1,000 yearly salary each for an army of 126,000 teachers, and in addition to this pay the same salary to an army of 125,000 nurses- “And after doing all of the above, we would still have a cash balance of $70,000,000,000- This would give us enough cash to pay the national debt of the United States and give each and every family in the nation a cash gift of $1,400.” The Book the first line of which reade, "The Holy Bible," and which contains four great treasures. By BRUCE BARTON ISIAH’S SUPERB OPTIMISM Isaiah, called upon to save Jerusalem from the .Assyrian army, wasted no time rubbing in his re proaches. but with a voice which put new cour age into the king and all his forces. Therefore thus saith the Lord concern ing the king of Assyria. He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it. By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord . . . Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and -somte in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand; and when they arose eariy in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. We are not dependent upon the Bible alone for the story of this invasion- Scientists in their probings into ancient records have found the account written by Sennacherib, the As syrian king, hmiself, and his own confession that the expedition failed to capture Jerusalem. While Isaiah denounced both Assyria and Eg>-pt, and urged Jerusalem to avoid entangling alliances with either of them, he had a concep tion of international relations which is amazing ly modem in the best s?nae of the word. In that day shall there be a highway out of Egyiit to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into As syria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, say ing, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine in heritance- This is precisely as if, while we were‘still at war with Germany, having Great Britain as our nearest ally, we had said: “Some day the war will be ov-r and the Divine plan will include and need us all- The United States is to be one of three powers in the future glory of the world, and the other two are to be Great Britain and Germany. Isaiah had to be a pessimist as to the imme- di^ future, but his superb optimism is shown all through hi.s work, and comes to its worthiest expression in the poem with which his own book of sermons ends: Strengthen ye the weak hands, and con- frm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart. Be strong, fear not: behold- your God will come. , . . Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened^_ and the ears of th' deaf shall be unstopped: Then shall the lame man leap as an hare, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the d'sert- -An-d the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water. Peopl' seem to like the new deal all right un til there is brought up the matter of the ante.— Boston Tran.script. But. Gen. Johnson, we’re not asking much. We only want low prices on everything we have to buy and high pric’s for everything we kave to sell.—Atlanta (Ga.) Journal. “New College Aims at The Modem Man’.” But can it hit him?—Boston Evening Transcript. A partisan is a person who uses catch words and thinks they are opinions—San Francisco Don’t let anyone high hat you by bragging about his ance.stors. Rein-nd him that you have been descending jtist as long as he has King- man (Kan.) Journal. Japanese Ambassador Hiroslu Saito told ship reporters his chief purpose in the United States is “to drink whiskey with good Americans.” It’s a wise foreigner who knows which noun to put his adjective before-—Virginim-Pilot .In recent months 1 .bare no- an ihtereetlng and helphl addition in thh make-np of ’Hie Journal-Patriot, that of Hiss Sockwell’s Social Calendar. To ).he various church and chic clH.b women of the two towns this calendar is especially' helpful, as they do not have to lose time in looking through the entire pap er for a club meeting notice, and then, perhaps, not'find It. Another addition that is al ways good is the Notes from the Hired Man’s Scrap-Book,” by J. B. Williams. It is an exceeding ly interesting little paragraph, always carrying something worthwhile. Yes ... bis honest serving men, What, When, Where, Who, and Why or How are unusually good servants, and have taught most of ns what we know, and some of us What We Do Not Know. "Don’t be a once-ln-a-whi!er; but be an every-tlmer," is very, very good advice; but Just now and then, the gods for reasons unknown to man seem to have decreed that one Has to “be a once-in-a-whil4r.” Well, knowing J. Bidwell Williama, of North Wilkesboro, I cannot but think that Bidwell is the "Hired man,” and that bis own mental ability Is the “Notes from the Scrap Book.” Here’s hoping that his paragraph will grow Into two paragraphs, if not a full column. We hear so much about “King Winter sitting In the lap of Queen Spring,” but It seems to me that so far, spring has had no lap for winter to sit in. Again we hear so much about "April being the month with the Sky Blue Byes.” Am I mistaken when I say that so far, this April’s eyes have been mostly gray and filled with tears? Oh, well! I guess I am a pessimist anyway. One cannot- long remain a pessimist, event If Queen April’s brow is stormy, and her eyes filled with fast-falling tears, when one takes in the beauty of the peach blossoms of a few weeks ago, or looks upon the wondrous beauty of the apple trees now in full bloom, or the lovliness of the lilac shrubs now blooming freely, and giving to the world their best. The following poem by Bay ard Taylor, entitled Peach Blos- .soms will take the pessimism out of the deepest saturated pessi mist: LET US CHECK YOUR BRAKES ... THEY ARB Wincedboro Honor Roll ,^..
