O Traffic Congestion The North* Wilkesboro Kiwanis Club luis raised a question of interest in ask- 4ds that stanething be done about conges- , tkn of traffic on the streets of the city. iWe hope that their efforts to get better traffic conditions will meet with success. We can’t place the blame on anybody bat the erring motorist. Of course^ the pdice department could |wam some of the people but it would take several offi- CMS their full time to look after all the drivers. In fact we believe a person driv ing an automobile should have enough sense to park it with some idea of how he is going to inconvenience the remain der of the motoring public. However, the trouble with many drivers seems to be that each one considers him self a majority of public opinion on where and how he shall park his car or truck and the result is a jangled bedlam on the streets. Perhaps we could be content to sit in our cars on the street and toot our horn, waiting impatiently for traffic to clear out a wee lane, if it were not for the fact that many people visit the city and gain a bad impression. Even at that we can gain some consolation from the fact that we compel visitors to stop in the city, even if they do not get out of their cars. The streets have been conveniently marked off for parking and lanes are pro vided for each car. But, alas, many drivers take a peek into an opening only to find that it lacks about a foot of being wide enough ‘for his vehicle, and automobiles are made of pre-shrunk mateiials. What can be more inconsiderate than to find one car parked in the middle of two parking spaces on Satuiday afternoon. If a driver seeking a parking place wants to utilize the remaining lane he must split his car wide open and put half on one side and the other half on the other. As an editorial on the subject we have chosen, this is quite a mess, but is no worse mess than the people of North Wilkesboro and Wilkes county make of parking on the streets here. In answer to the above question, we are forced to admit that we do not know jof anybody who desires to see the world thrown into another maelstorm of con flict such as gripped the civilized nations of the world in 1914. Yet there are those who make their millions out of war, an implement of body and soul destruction. No doubt they would like tto get rich in the op portunities afforded by war , but the profit motive in aggravating conflicts among nations does not have the great effect that some may think it has. Elimi nating the profits of war will help some but there are causes that are more to be dreaded. The tendency of peoples to forget the horrors and expense of wai’ keeps the antiquated piactice of settling intema- tkmal disputes by bloodshed alive. The tiniest spark may set off a world-wide catastrophe at almost any time and it is liard to lay a finger on the cause. Pacifists claim that the way to end war is by disarmament. If all nations would aemp their guns and turn their “swords into plowshares,” the plan would be high ly practical. But how is one nation going to disarm whUe the remainder of the -world is building bigger and more deadly fitting equipment? Then there are the militarists who wars can be ended by more pre- Mredness. But if a man buys a gun with irlikdi to kin rabbits it is quite natui^ a desire to go rabbit hunting will Ebnn in his brain. It would seem that a middle course Tould be the most satisfactory.

The best insurance against, war is the world-wide knowledge that we are pre pared to fight if necessary^ in defense of our national rights. The Hauptmann Case As the trial of Bruno Hauptmann for the kidnaping and murder of Charles Au gustus Lindbergh, Jr„ reaches its firat stages, the American people become in tensely interested. They feel that it was their child that was slain. This is because of the unparalleled popularity of the child’s parents. Lind bergh is still a hero to the country. Kidnaping has became a national men-' aoe since young Lindbergh was taken from his home and murdered. This arch crime has been without revenge and has been a spur to other criminals. As it nears its solution the American people feel that a great blow is aimed at kidnaping. It appears that Bruno Hauptmann is guilty and that the state of New Jersey is slowly building a prima facia solution to the crime. The American people want to see the guilty man brought to justice and no doubt the best legal minds will aid the prosecution in the case against Hauptmann. However, we do not believe there will be a mis carriage of justice in the case and if Hauptmann is innocent as he contends, he will go free. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN PETER’S CONFESSION AND CALL Lesson for January Gth; John 1:29-42; Golden Text, Mark 1:17 The aim of the lessons of our first quarter is to help each student to familiarize himself ■with the stirring life of Peter, the leader of the t'welve disciples. This Sunday we .study the conversion and call of this large-hearted, im pulsive figure who later became a veritable Rock of Gibraltar in his championship of the Christian faith. Now we must not overlook Andrew, Peter’s brother, who brought him to the Master. It is easy to disparge Andrew in view of his lack of special gifts. A commonplace man, he was “a negligible cipher,” as Dr. Grenfell says. So far as we know he preached no sermon, wrote no letter, performed no miracle, founded no church. Yet in bringi.ig Petei to Jesus he per formed a service of the highest significance. Many a minister is an Andrew. Not gifted enough to write important books, or preach great sermons, he nevertheless performs import ant routine work behind the scenes. A certain curate of Trinity church. Boston, made famous by the eloquence of Phillips Brooks, could not preach well, and had no gift for organization. But he was a tireless pastor. In and out of the homes in that great parish he went -with syste matic fidelity. And when he died 1,800 people crowded into the church for his funeral. Few of us can be Peters. But all cf us can be An'Jrews, using our inferior capabilities with a noble devotion. Turning now to Peter it i.s well to remember that he took the lead from the first. He is the dl.sciple who appears most often in the gospel story. And he was close to Jesus, for he be longed to that intimate trio, Peter, James and John, who \ver> with the Master in the home of Jairus, on the Mount of Transfiguration, and in Gethsemane. Peter loomed large in the heart and mind of Jesus. Borrowed Comment THE GOVERNMENTS BURDEN (Cleveland Star) Figures have been gathered to show that 25 million people receive aid from the federal gov ernment—one out of every five of our popula tion. This is a staggering discovery and a con dition which must be corrected if our government is to survive. It seems to have been a race to see how liberal and how wide federal reKef could be spread. Talk about the ten or eleven million unemployed people. We can’t see it. Certainly we do not have many more than normal in this section. We have always had unemployed and always will. The government should see that no one suffers for the neecessities of life, but we are glad to see that instead of gpving some thing for nothing, the government will here after encourage those on relief rolls to earn their own substance. When congress meets in January it will re quire each state to match federal relief funds going to that state. This puts a real problem up to Governor Ehringhaus and our general as sembly. If some way can be seen to raise a state relief fund with which to meet the federal allotment, our taxpayers will certainly watch more closely the outgo and raise a protest when th^ are imposed upon.

The succen and strength of the poultry Industry In a state Is determined by the hateheries and the quality of the chicks they |ell. says Roy S. .Dearstyne, head of the State college poultry de partment. This is due to the fact that most chicks reared are the prod uct of local hatcheries, he says, and the quality of the chicks reflects the degree of co-opera tion between state officials^ and hatcherymen in raising flock standards. In North Carolina, he says, state officials and hatcherymen have worked hard* to lay a firm foundation for the poultry In dustry, with encouraging results, be points out The blood testing work carried on by the state department of agriculture has elevated North Carolina to a high position In regard to the control of bacil lary white diarrhea or pullorum disease, IJearidyne ■ stated,-., and there has been a marked* im provement in the breeding pro grams '.for those (locks which supply eggs to the hatcheries. Expansion of the personnel has made it possible to increase the blood testing work and at present there are 4 4 hatcheries, with an incubator capacity of 750,000 chicks, co-operating with the state, he says.
