Deserves Support
The charity baseball game to be
played on September 6 between an.all
star aggregation and the Home Chair
Company nine deserves the attention
and consideration of all the people of
this community.
It is not primarily a question of your
belief in and support of sports but it is
the purpose of the game that should
draw hundreds to the fairgrounds to
see the game. The benefits from the
admission charges to be made will go
for the Boy Scouts, a very helpful or
ganization for the boys of our towns.

Exchange of Teachers
The plan of exchanging Sunday
school teachers in the three leading
Men’s Bible classes here for one month
is unique and interesting.
Although there has never been noth-
ing but friendlines.s between the cla.ss-
es the exchange of teachers will be
helpful in building up good will and
closer relationship in the Christian
work of the Sunday school.
And, of course, the exchange is in
teresting for the members of the class
es and teachers who are given an op
portunity to observe how their neigh
bors engage in the Sabbath school
study.
More Good News
Tobacco markets which have opened

Satisfactory tobacco and cotton prie

i*..of the south is regarded as the out-
' standing achievement of the Agricul-
• tural Adjustment Administration and
’^the crop reduction programs.
In this industrial and diversified
farming area figures on tobacco and
cotton prices are not regarded with
fvery much attention, but we should re-
' member that portions of our own coun
ty produce these two crops in consider
able qualities. It is also a fact that com
munication and transportation facili

Markets for raw materials are open
ing up again and it looks as if our pec-
are in for a much less distressing
“^Tall and winter than in the past several
years.
’Often we are too prone to believe
that the lack of a cash crop such as to-
hacco and cotton is our great disad-
'antage but there^is another side to the
qaeetion. All the year ’round we have

had figured op just what odds the care
less automobile driver takes and ac
cording to their figures, which are ap
parently based upon facts, ^ there is
plenty of cause for the driver to ' do
some serious thinking before taking any
kind of a chance with a “benzine bug-
gy.”
The editorial entitled “The Poorest
Gamble” is worthy of quoting in full:
. Would you gumble $17,000,000 against one
dollar? Tou wouldn’t, ol course, no matter
how good you thought your chance of win
ning. At those odds, no wager woruld possible
be worth the risk you would take.
It Is very possible, however, that you take
an even poorer het than that every day—that
you accept, consciously or unconsciously, life’s
poorest gamble.
.« If you are 35 years old, you will, on the
average, llv» for 17,000,000 more minutes,
’fo save one little minute, thousands of auto
mobile drivers risk losing the entire 17,000,-
000 minutes that are coming to them. They
take that risk whenever they drive excessive
ly fast, whenever they cut In and out of traf
fic, whenever they pass other cars on hills or
curves, whenever they are guilty of one of the
many acts of carelessness that may cause an
accident.
Each year In this country about 33,000 peo
ple make the 17,000,000-to-one wager with
death—and lose. Hundreds of thousands of
others are injured. Millions sustain needless
property damage, estimated to reach a total of
over a billion dollars.
Think ol the odds next time you are tempt
ed to take a chance while driving. Remember
that the automobile you are operating is one
of the most potentially dangerous of all weap
ons, both to others and yourself. Then ask
yourself 11 that minute you might save is
worth the gamble.
Deaths on the highways can never be
eliminated entirely by law enforce
ment, although much can be done by
strictly enforcing the traffic laws. A
more feasible way to cut down the auto
death toll is by educating the people
regarding the risk they are taking in
careless driving.

Splendid Achievement
Under the leadership of Mrs. W. R.
Absher, the North Carolina Department
of the American Legion Auxiliary dur
ing the past year was an organization of
achievement.
This is sho^TO by the reports submit
ted in the convention held in Greensboro
during the past week. The public child
welfare survey alone could be counted a
yeai-’s work, not to mention the many
other splendid accomplishments of the
department of which Mrs. Absher was
head.
The year will go down as one of out
standing accomplishment for the Auxili
ary and North Wiikesboro and Wilkes
county can feel a sense of pride in that
one of our esteemed ladies led the or
ganization toward the realization of
greater goals.
MIC.AH CHAMPION'S THE OPPUESSEU
Lesson for September 2nd. Micah 6 and 7.
Golden Te.xt: Micah 6:8.
Oiir Golden Text was, it is said, the favor
ite Bible verse of President Washington. It
was also close to the heart of Theodore Roose
velt. Kfther does it concern itself with the
root activities of the human pilgrimage. No
doubt we need formalism. And certainly we
must have enthusiasm. And President Eliot, of
Harvard, made much of it.
Religion, insists Micah, is not primarily
ritual. Neither Is it, at bottom, ecstasy. But of
much more importance are the justice, merely,
and humility of every day living.
The need for justice today is obvious. Too
long has man given full rein to his predatory
impulses. Our present competitive profit sys
tem places a premium upon the exploitation
of one group by another. Moreover It is sub-
■ versive of human values through its philosophy
of strife leading inevitably to international
war and industrial conflict the fruits of which
are insecurity, unemployment, and untold
misery. What Is needed is a planned social
economy, thoroughly Christian in its implica
tions. Charity is no longer sufficient. The times
call loudly for genuine justice.
But mercy is as Important as justice. The
c'aurch has always given a royal status to the
virtue of kindness.
Finally, the sovereign grace of humility
must be stressed. A discouraging defect of hu
man nature is its cocksureness, a product of
the deadly sin of pride. Other fruits are fus
siness. jealously, snobbishness. AH of these
common vices can be cured by a rigorous self-
examination leading to a realistic appreciation
of our littleness.
Most of all do we need humility in our re
ligion. This is made clear by Jesus’ striking
parable of the Pharisee and the tax-gatherer.
"For every one who uplifts himself will be
humbled, but he who humbles himself will be
uplifted.’’
