Rural Rehabilitation Just what may materialize from the present plans of the organization to pro mote rural rehabilitation in North Caro lina remains to be seen, but from what we can learn at this stage of the game, it looks as if the rural rehabilitation pro gram is going to be one of the most bene ficial movements of the year. Some work has already been done, such as finding homes for people, repairing homes, and assisting many relief cases in such manner as is approved by the emer gency relief administration of the state. The objective is to* encourage people to make a living and for the relief cases a better living than they have been making. War Clouds Loom For the reader of the semi-weekly news paper it is almost impossible to follow in detail the threat of war that now looms over all Europe. Germany is ruled by Hitler, Nazi dicta- lor, Austria has an independent Fascist government and Italy is ruled by Dictator Mussolini. Chancellor Dollfuss, of Aus tria. has been assassinated by Nazi rebels in that countiy and reports have come from Europe to the effect that Nazi Ger many plann,ed the overthrow of the Aus trian government. In the meantime a civil war has broken out in Austria and Italian troops are on the border ready to help preserve the independence of their neighbor. The situation is well summed up by the Cleveland Star as follows: As we look west over the cotton fields this afternoon, we can see, with little imagination, movements in the war clouds that have darkened Europe since the signing of the Versailles treaty —a treaty that was, it now appears, a virtual declaration of war. It is not coincidence that the slaying of Chancellor Dollfuss came precise ly 20 years after Austria and Serbia cancelled relations and began the great World War. It is no coincidence because the history of Europe (and this almost applies to the United States) shows that a war is fought every twenty years. That is to say, after a major conflict, it is necessary to wait this long to raise a new generation and to mature it for bayonets and gan powder. Per se, the presence of a new generation, of course, doesn’t logically mean war; but in the tangl«i affairs of Europ'’. this is a fair enough gauge. Especially is this true in Germany, .here the new generations have for the past cade revolted against the hard terms of the >aty which ended their fathers’ folly. Revolt- against the sins of these parents and against „ greed of France, these young people have the regime of Hitler, who gave them the ncOMary- nationalisation, possible. A ouick glance at the war possibilities seems to show this: that Germany and Italy both im peratively need Austria. They need her wealth, her man-power and her frontier. Revolution in Austria will mean that either Italy or Germany, or both, will simultaneously attempt to gain ^■^pwer there. And that will mean objections from cock-of-thc-walk, who will be jealous and F^earful of any such move. Drawing France'into ^ the picture necessarily affects England. ■ One good thing stands forth: Italy’s destinies •re plainly tied to England’s for Italy (as Mr. Lippm^ pointed out yesterday) is virtually an ..Island and is therefore in dread of England’s power- 'And England is probably the only" power,in the European zone that doesn’t this time crave war. Of' mat theToan ^on the street thinks” la. \ topic tiiat la becoming more popular with iwi^rs in this fast jpaoving,age. "pidk out men at random on ^ a crowded^ street and ask them about various ipies- tions of public interest is an entert^ning 'pastime. 'Not so long ago we heard an influential man in a street comer converwtion de ploring, the attitude of many people on the question, “Does the government owe me a living?” In this connection he pointed out- that the number of people who are becoming dependent on the government is not de creasing nearly so rapidly as it should. Just why any m^ should consider that the government owes him a living is be yond comprehension. Of course, there are such exceptions as disabled war veterans who gave their earning ability as a sacri fice to their country. There is a class of people more numer ous than those who think the government owes them a living and Jhat is the class who is willing to defraud the government in order to get money. In other words they would betray their nation for a “few' pieces of silver.” “It is hard to understand,” stated the man on the street, “why good men, honest and upright in the daily life, should think that it is not womg for them to get some thing from the nothing.” Yet, that seems to be a trait of a lagge class of people. They would not cheat their neighbor, their community or their county, but they would get money from Uncle Sam in almost any way they can. However, it all comes back to them. They may say that they do not pay in come taxes, tobacco taxes or any other form of federal taxes, but they are help ing those who do pay them. Taxes will be distributed among all people, regard less of where they are levied. “Soak the rich” is a favorite expres sion in regard to taxes. “Soak the rich” and the rich “soak the poor” to get money to pay the “soaking.” And there you are. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN ELISHA HELPS THE NEEDY Lesson for August 5th. 2 Kings, 4. (Jolden Text: Matthew 25:40. What a contrast is Elisha to his fiery, two- fisted, flint-like predecessor Elijah! Elisha is a gentle, gracious person who devoted himself, like our Master, to deeds of mercy. He truly lived in accord with the meaning of his name, “God is Salvation." Our chapter opens with an appealing story of help administered by Elisha to a poor widow whose husband had been a devoted prophet. He found her burdened with a heavy debt, her credi tor, in his impatience, actually demanding her two sons in payment of her obligation. Now note that Elisha did not give money to the woman, but wisely enabled her to help her self- “What hast thou in the house?” was his inquiry. One is reminded of Peter and the lame man who sat at the gate of the temple- The apos tle had no funds, but he gave the poor fellow something much finer, namely life itself. Thus he lifted him to a plane of self-help where he was able to work and earn in self-respect. And what was the widow’s reply to the pro phet’s query? “Thine handmaid,” she said in despair, “hath not anything in the house save a pot of oil.” No doubt she thought this oil was hardly worthy of mention. But the Bible is nev er tired of assuring us that the weak can become strong, that the small can grow into the large. Here we have a graphic illustration of this truth. Elisha instructed the widow to borrow vessels from her neighbors, to shut heiself up with her sons, and then pour oil into the vessels. She obeyed. And with what results? The oil miracul ously increased so that there was enough to fill all the vessels! The lesson here taught is obvious. The woman had little. But spurred on by Elisha she put that little to work. And to her amazement it multi plied many fold! We grow through using what little capacity God has given us. Borrowed Comment THE MARCH OF RECOVERY (The New York Times) Trade and industry in the Detroit area closed the second quarter without an appreciable let-down in the sale of consumer-goods. The June total volume was approximately 15 per cent ahead of the figures for the corresponding month last year, according to the New York Herald-Tribune. Business, aided by billions from federal and state governments, appeared to have pulled itself 40 per cent of the way out of the depression which began five years ago this month, accord ing to the federal reserve board. A 75 per cent gain in automobile production in the United States for the first half of 1934 as compared with the corresponding period of last year, was reported by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, which placed the total output for the 1934 period at 1,802,442 vehicles against 1,031,839 a year ago. Banks and trust companies, which have been the largest class of borrowers from the RFC, had repaid, up to June 30, 41,007.647,802, or 63 per cent of the $1,606,571,866 advanced since February, 1932.
