MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 19S4 Relax Vigilance? During the past two years we have made no kick against the way the North Carolina state highway and public works commission has treated Wilkes county. Prior to that time we had an opinion that Wilkes had been sli^ted in highway"con- struction, but conditions have vastly im proved. Although we are duly grateful as citi zens of Wilkes county that the Boone Trail was constructed all the way through the county, that number 18 was com pleted, number 16 under construction, and contracts have been let on the Statesville and Elkin highways, this is no time to re lax and suppose that everything is done. Our civic organizations and public minded citizens should not lose sight of the fact that we should push our claims for the completion of 16, 268 and the Wilkes end of the Statesville highway. We do not mean to insinuate that these roads will not be completed just as soon as the state highway commission can get to them, but as citizens who work toward the welfare of the entire county, we should continue to work for what we need and that to which we are entitled. The road situation is clearing up for Wilkes. There are still two big areas in the county that are badly in need of bet ter roads. The northwestern area and the western part along the Yadkin still have much trouble in bad weather. Ac cording to Governor Ehringhaus, the road system is due for much improvement out side the state system of highways, and let us hope that some of our outlying dis tricts in Wilkes can get attention by per manent improvement of the secondary roads. Weeding Them Out If we understand correctly the aim of the relief administration it is to weed out those who are unworthy of receiving aid from the government in any form. The aim of the go\ernment in regard to relief is not to provide work for ev ery person who cannot get work in pri vate industry or on the farms. If the opinion we nave^ based on ob servation and information, is anywhere near correct, there is not a great number of employable people in this section who cannot find jobs. We are ready to admit right here, and now that hundreds are seeking positions arrd that thousands are looking for easy money; but the number of people who actually c^not find work is not so great. Not so long ago, we are told, tw’o young men who had been working on relief proj ects were placed on the payroll of a con tractor at regular wages and they did not last a day on the job. Threw up the work because it was “too hard.” We hear reports that one man has been trying to find someone to cut his wood, but that he cannot find any man willing to do the work. The names of peonle who are “on relief” and who refuse private employment are being noted and woe unto the lazv ones as the weeding out process must inevitablv come to be a reality. Every person with average intelligence must know that the government cannot put a premium on idle ness, and that, on the insistent demand of a tax-paying public, relief funds will be closely watched and guarded to see that the unworthy are left behind. The willing and conscientious laboring man who cannot find work for the support of his family is entitled to much consid eration and we do not argue for one mo ment that the government should not help his cause and furnish him employ ment until such a time that he can find other work. At the moment he is offer ed employment elsewhere it should be seen that he takes the job or in any case lose his consideration for government aid. You can tell the educated.

American. ^ ^ DriwTA of autoBiShflesi^ trwto in ^ North do the request of the myof and 'ConBiiifidoiiere when they ask for 1^ double parkhig and^ teaffic congestion on the "streets. Drivers now have their chance to. im prove their parking manners and unless some improvement is noticed it can be ex pected that more drastic measures will be taken to bring about better conditions. It is up to drivers to be more considerate of parking rules and to have more consid eration of other motorists. To say the least, many drivers are most inconsiderate not only of other motor ists, but of tlie reputation of this city and community. What impression does a motorist from a larger city gain of North Wilkesboro when he enters the city to find that a number of double parked ve hicles impudently bar his way on the streets? Is it a spirit of welcome and consideration that will cause him to think well of our people and our city? It appears to be more or less a careless habit that will prompt a man to leave his car or truck parked near the middle of the street while he leaves it for several minutes to attend to business. It is a habit which has been growing persistently. This trouble cannot be eliminated in one day or one week, but within a month the condition should be vastly improved. If we as drivers of motor vehicles could realize iust how impudent it is to bar the way of other drivers who wish to traverse the streets it would not be long until traf fic congestion wx)uld be eliminated. One other thing that is the fault of er ring motorists is noticed here. Our streets are rather narrow and can hardly accom modate the necessary traffic on Saturdays and other busy days. Notwithstanding this, you can stand on a busy street comer and sec the same car pass by ten times in a half hour—aimlessly going to one comer to turn around and go back again. We are not signaling out any one driver. There are many who are guilty of this practice and it is, like double parking, an encroachment on the rights of other motorists.

NOTICE CHARACTER IS BORN A million sermons have been preached about Adam, berating him for his lost innocence. Ad am was innocent in the Garden, in the same sense that the sheep were innocent, and the sheep are just as innocent now as they were then. But Adam in Eiden had no character, and character is the one good thing which God alone does not creat’. It is a joint product. Just what the sin was which is recorded un der the symbol of the tree and its fruit we do not know. It is an admirable symbol. The birds in Eden pecked holes in the fruit of that tree, as of many others. No fruit-eating beasts held it in special regard. Adam’s sin was some thing which was wrong for him but not wrong for beasts and birds, some act of unbridled lust or bloody revenge; and having done it. he knew instantly that it was wrong. Somehow, in this new green universe, remorse and repentance en tered into the soul of a living creature; and character began. "A being such as I should be capable of something better,” he said to him self. Why did he say it? What made him say it? How was it that he knew himself to be dif ferent from the beasts that perish? Why was he so sure that it was wrong for him and. not for them to use his brief opportunity for all it was worth? What persuade?! him that God cared? No matter if the story in Genesis be an alle gory; no matter, if it summarize in the experi ence of one man a process which worked itself out through generations or centuries. The cen tral fact remains, that one day somebody stood out against a background of inneoeent and contented animalism and assumed the self-con sciousness and reproach which go with a moral nature. To that somebody, that Adam, we owe a debt which we can never repay. He was earth’s first great hero. Adam in the Garden, fattening on the fruits that g;row without labor, has had too much at tention. We care little for that brief inglori- us period in his existence. It could not last long. Let us rather rember that the later Adam, con tending with thorns and thistles, trying hard" to govern the rising generation which perplexed him as it has perplexed succeeding fathers, the Adam who earned his bread with the sweat of his brow, the Adam whose eldest son killed his younger brother, the Adam who courageously, uncompromisingly carried and handed down to his descendants a nature capable of responding to law and duty. That Adam is the first in honor as well as in time. He and Eve sent down to us the qualities that lift us out of the dust from which they came and back to which we, like them, return.
