Bridge Approaches
We'do not profess to know everything
abont road and bridge construction, but it
is hard to understand why the state high-
tway commission does not permanently fix
the approaches to the Yadkin River
bridge between the Wilkesboros.
"At the time the bridge was constructed
sefveral feet on either end were left with
out pavement. This w-as said to have been
done to allow the bridge fill to do all the
settling it was going to do before the ap
proaches and the bridge were connected.
It seems to us that the fill has settled all
it is going to and why not fix those little
aggravating patches of road ?
Courtesy
There is nothing that does a town or
community more real good than does a
population of courteous people- That
friendly greeting or smile you will give a
stranger may make a good impression for
our town. Let’s try it.
Carl Goerch, editor of “The State,” has
the following to say about this subject in
his current issue:
“A New York lady says that the thing
which impressed her most during a recent
visit to this state was the unfailing cour
tesy on the part of the people with whom
rile came in contact.
“That’s fine.
“There is nothing that is cheaper or
that pays greater dividends than plain,
old-fashioned courtesy. Whenever you go
out of your way to be courteous to a
stranger, you help to put in a mighty
strong boost for your town.
“It is something that is worth remem
bering.”
Peculiar Attitude
A holiness preacher at Sylva Friday at
tempted a demonstration with a rattle
snake that probably caused his death.
This preacher went before his congre
gation and allowed a rattlesnake to
sink its fangs into his flesh. He held the
snake aloft with its fangs fastened in his
arm but he did not keep this demeanor
long, for he screamed, rushed from the
r church and i-olled in agony on the ground.
^ He refused to see a physician, despite the
'fact that his arms were swelling and
bursting and that death was imminent.
It appears to this writer that the
*^preacher was defying he Diety instead of
; upholding the power of God.
Probably we are not as learned on Holy
Writ as many, but we have never read or
, beard of any of the teachings of God that
^ would lead us to the conclusion that we
^ should deliberately expose ourselves to
danger in order to make a demonstration.
^Contrary to this, we believe that the Su-
iimeme Being would have us shun danger
•" aud care for our bodies to the best of our
"ability.
f Several years ago this same preacher's
wife died after a long and serious illness,
idaring which she steadfastly refused to
^have the services of a doctor. Albert
^ T«teis the preacher in question, had
^'jupeached for years his belief that he could
^handle fire and go through all kinds of
ftoiiure.
I It ia pot our business to censure anyone
b»a such belief; we are just pointing
his '^uliar attitude and calling atten-
^ tion to our belief that we are supposed to
avail ourselves of the services of physi-
in case of illness.

project Is worthy of all the miention and
commendation it can roceive at the hands
of the press.
The gnktest benefit that can be derived
from the survey is the infomation gath
ered about handicapped children in order
that their physical deficiencies may be
corrected.
Society at large can be greatly bene-
filted by the restomtion of a crippled chUd
to a state of normalcy in order that he
may be able to earn his own living.
Many of us have looked with pity at a
cripple on the streets, begging, and won
dered if something could not have been
done in his youth to place him on a plane
with his fellowmen and enambled him to
enter some kind of gainful occupation.
It is just such instances as Ihese that
prompted Mrs. Absher to originate the
survey. To learn where children are that
need the attention of state institutions
and the services of vocational rehabilita
tion is the purpose of the survey.
At this time we cannot fathom the-far-
reaching results of the survey. Already
every crippled and indigent child in Wake
county has been given attention- Surely
other counties will follow suit.
In only a vague way can we see into
the future and imagine the many useful
citizens the survey will make possible, who
otherwise might become cripples depend
ent upon pennies, nickles and dimes drop
ped into their hats on the streets of some
city.
All who helped in any way toward
making the survey the outstanding suc
cess it has proven to be will be rowarded
by having the chance to live among a
society of people benefitted by the infor
mation gathered by the paid and volunteer
workers in the 100 counties of North
Carolina.

A KINGSHIP REFUSED
Jesus’ miracles caused His reputation to spread
before Him, and the most dramatic of them, the
feeding of a host of people, was follow’ed by one
great moment of triumph, which, however, mark
ed the beginning of the end-
That multitude of people whom He had seated
in groups of fifty and a hundred rose to their
feet after their miraculous msal and discovered
that they were an army. They looked up with
now eyes at the strong young man who had fed
them as Moses had fed th dr ancestors in the
wilderness.
The words of the prophets surged into their
minds. Here indeed was a .son of David; here
was the promissd leader who should free his
people, drive the Romans before him, and sit
again upon the throne in Jerusalem. With a
great shout they surged forward.
Did He hesitate for a moment? Was there
an instant in which the temptation to .seize this
proffered leadership battled with His real ideals?
We know only the final decision, which was
quickly made:
When Jesus therefore preceived that they
would come and take him by force, to make
him a king, he departed again into a moun
tain himself alone.
From that hour His popularity waned. Most
of those who had followed Him in the hope of
reward through a successful revolution beg;an to
drop away.
From that time many of his disciples went
back, and walked no more with him-
Even the twelve were disappointed and dis
heartened. Why was it necessary for Him to be
so inflexible? Why must He always abuse the
Pharisees and other influential people? Why
turn away so abruptly from those who could be
of so much help? Jesus alone saw clearly. He
led them away from Galilee into the foreign
shores of Tyre and Sidon. He wanted to be
alone with them, to try to make them under
stand why He must refuse temporal power; why,
indeed, it would J>e necessary for Him to insure
the permanency of His message by sealing it
with His blood.
He must “go into Jerusalem,” He told them,
“and suffer many things of the elders and chief
priests and scribes, and be killed.” Indjgnatly
they sought to dissuade him. “Be it far from
thee, Lord,” the beloved Peter exclaimed, “this
shall never be unto'thee.” 'Their remonstrances
were in vain.
The whole last year of His ministry has a
different tone.’ He is far more emphatic, far
more audacious. Knowing that compromise is
useless, He lashes out against the smug com
placency of the Pharisees who render lip service
to Jehovah but are rotten at the core with sel
fishness and greed.
Maybe this will he of some comfort: A scien

CHEVROLET PRICES

ASMRCHAS
The exceptional popularity which Chevrolet has enjoyed
for many years has naturally had its effect on Chevrolet
prices. Large sales have enabled Chevrolet to maintain consistently low
purchase prices, which were recently lowered even further. As a result
Chevrolet now offers you the lowest priced six-cylindcr automobile
obtainable—a big, comfortable car with Fisher Body styling and refine
ment-safe, weatherproof, cable-controlled brakes—the smooHmess and
economy of a valve-in-head, six-cylinder engfaie—and tyjncal Chevrolet
dependability. In offering this car, and the Master mode^ at substantially
lower prices, Chevrolet hopes to repay the motoring public in-some
measure, for consistently placing Chevrdet so high in pnblic favw.
