Possible Relief School authorities in Wilkes county, realizinjf that a capital outlay will be ne cessary in order to provide adequate school buildings, are showing some commendable foresight in investigating the possibilities of getting some work done in the gigantic works-relief setup that is almost sure to be carried out this year. The school building situation in the county just now is not so bright. At least two modem buildings for consolidated schools are almost necessities, while addi tions and alterations are needed in prac tically every district in the county. Several years ago a number of modem buildings were erected and even these are over crowded. While other central schools in the coun ty have at least brick buildings. Millers Creek district is badly handicapped by having to use two frame buildings, part of one being condemned as unsafe. The situation at Mountain View and Wilkes- T)oro, is likewise bad, and the report by state insurance authorities show that these buildings will have to undergo a lot of work and expense before they .--re really fit for use. With the funds that aie available the school authorities are keep ing the lesser frame buildings in the out lying districts in as good condition as possible. Now, these are facts which the people must face. If the county has to levy taxes to do all this work and furnish materials it will mean quite an outlay that can be gained in the only way the county has of raising money-by ad valorem property taxes. Land taxes are unpopular because of the burden upon the home owner who is bai'oly able to get his food and feed out of the soil, to say nothing of cash to buy clothes, rear .his children and pay taxes. If the national government is going to spend over four billion dolla'^’s on public works this year in order to give people employment, it is quite natural that some will be expended in our county for the needy people. Although the plan has not been worked out to the merest detail, it is plain that the president, who will have final say in the expenditures, means to use the money to place people to work on worthwhile projects and a survey is al ready being made over the country to find things to do with the money and when Wilkes county is considered, let us not forget facilities for our schools and see if we cannot gain some measure of aid that will lessen the county’s burden in furnishing comfortable and safe places for our chiMren to meet for study. Engineers would have to search far and wide to find work that would be of more benefit and that is more badly needed than school building work in Wilkes county. At the present time two schools are definitely without buildings of any kind, these being Sulphur Springs and Baptist Home SuljAur Springs building was con- demand on account of deterioration and when the children were placed with those in Baptist Home to get them away from the condemned building. Baptist Home building burned to the ground. An appli cation is now being made for funds with which to buiH a township unit for Mul berry and the recent fire makes the need more apparent. Several days ago The JouiBaJ-Pafe^t carried a news article saying that Wilkes, county had lost the value of more than 46,000lacrw of land beca^ of erowon. This is significant and appalling. In Burke county the loss by erosion is said by the United States soil erosion service to be similar and a news article was carried by the Morgantoif News- Herald to that effect. In the following issue this editorial appeared: Running the risk of being charged with too frequent repetition, we cannot resist the de sire to call attention to paragraphs in two separate articles in Friday’s issue of The News Herald. , In account of a survey of the soil erosion service of the United States department of the interior, we read: “Burke county has lost the value of 89.- 959 acres, or 12.41 per cent of its total area because of aggravated erosion ... Of the 321,920 acres which comprise the county there are 16330 acres already abandoned due primarily to severe erosion, the report shows. Also, there are 37,690 acres having 25 to 76 per cent of the topsoil gone.” On another page, in a column of “Farm Notes," County Agent R. L. Sloan writes: “Lespedeza has proven itself the best crop ever tried in this section to prevent washing along sloping lands.” and goes on to discuss its growing popularity among Burke farm ers as a pasture plant and for hay. Our point, simple as adding two and two, is that Burke county farmers who have witnessed the appalling loss, have seen the strength of their lands washed by rains into ditches and streams, may well turn to this plant which has proven itself as the most satisfactory solution of the problem. That they are already doing so in gratifing num bers is attested by the fact that lespedeza is now the chief legume crop of the county. Farmers whose soil has washed away have no chance of earning a living and are beaten before they begin, unless they are willing to work hard at the long fight to build back the soil. Lespedeza is a won derful crop for building fertile soil and for keeping it from washing away. No farm er can neglect his land and expect to earn a living on the farm. Nothing with more underlying truth was eve rsaid than that “the farmer does not have an idle day in the year.” At any time a farmer can find something to do on his place that will im prove it, and take it from us, there is not a farm home anywhere that cannot stand some improvement.

PONTIAC LATINO STRESS ON SEALED CHASSIS Although the leading indus try in the country during the last decade has been the motor car business, its leaders have never been so engrossed with their own Importance that they were not ready to make use of the experience gained by older lines of business. To wit: wach- making. The Pontiac Motor company is laying great stress this year on its sealed chassis and according to W. L. Gilpin, vice president and general sales manager, the company's engineers have used the same care in protecting ev ery moving part of the chassis against dust, water and dirt, that the maker of the finest watch would use. “The sealing of any piece of machinery is very important,” said Mr. 'Gilpin. “No manufac turer of precision machinery of any kind would think of leaving its parts exposed to the action of water and dirt. Likewise, the thing that any good judge of fine watches considers of utmost importance, next to its action, is how well its maker has protected that action. “So, Pontiac engineers have used great care in sealing all vital parts of our 1935 chassis. And by doing that they have added to the riding comfort of the car and contributed to its durability, because, by careful sealing they have retained oil and grease where they are need ed and they have kept out dust, grit and moisture. “A car thus properly sealed will go farther and give a better ride than one in which less care has been given to this vital ne- ' cessity. jCouiity Commiitlfm TW9 BUI* UMlfttCd to Add ^PoMcii j^-BoriNb’TWl ' ^ Before Hosaw Cbwip Ralelgb, 3m 81^—Tifo , Wile intmtded to Ertotly InefMse ibe; power* of county comiUnionen were killed unceremonloualy following a twb-iiour public bear ing by the bouse obmmittee on counties, cities and tows* Wed nesday afternoon. ’ One would have powered com missioners to appoint tax collec tor* .and fix salaries of .. county officers and the’M other Wonld hpve permitted connty boards to abolish or consolidate offices in the interest of cheaper local gov ernment. Fletcher OutUndi To Revive Repvhlieau New York, Jan.* 31. P. Fletcher, Republican national chairman,' tonight outlined bis program tor revival of the party in the drive to recapture the presidency in 1936. Addressing New York Republi cans, Fletcher said the party must: Give youth a greater voice in its councils “if we are going to escape dying like an old tree at the top.” Intensify opposition to the new deal because President Roosevelt “advocates unsound national and economic policies’’ which may cause the nation "to reap the whirlwind of demagogic radical ism.’’ .Support social welfare legisla tion and “advocate the correc tion of abuses which have grown up in the economic field.’’ Work for uniform state laws regulating corporations. Support an equitable and ab solutely fair distribution of the tax burden and insist upon a fair distribution of public funds which are contributed by taxes. Fight the movement towards an increasing presidential dicta torship as proved by “the as tonishing and degrading spectacle of the legislative branch of our federal government supinely ab dicating its constitutional powers and authority into the bands of the executive.” JOSEPH And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, bought him of the hands of the Ishmael- ite.s-. . . And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him; and he (Potiphar) made him overseer over his house, and all that he had . . . And it came to pas.s after these things, that his master’s w’ife ca.st her eyes upon Joseph: and she said. Lie with me . . . and he fled, and got him out . . . The illicit love of Potiphar’s wife, and her revenge wh“n the young overseer refused to be- tva.v the trust cf his master, is the most wide ly remembr'red cpi.sode in Joseph's career. It has been th.e theme of play.s and novels, and the cynical writers of all age.s have scoffed at the young man’s scruples and by th°ir scoffing condemned theni.solves. For the .story of Joseph is the finest single .story in the Old T stainent. His father’s favorite, and therefore the .scorn and envy of his brothers, he made trouble for himself by the strange wisdom of his dreams and by his “coat of many colors,” his father’s gift. “Bdhold this dreamer cometh,” they sneered, and forthwith they cast him into a pit, and smearing his coat with the blood of a kid took it home to their sorrowing father with a li''. A commonplace age is always suspicious of dreamers. But what continent was ever opened, what railway built, what great discovery made, without their help? He whom a dream hath possessed treads the invincible marches: From the dust of the day’s long road he leaps to a laughing star; And the ruin of worlds that fall he views from celestial arches. And rides God’s battlefield in a golden and shining car. The dreamer may ride in the golden car at the, end, as the poets inform us, but he treads a long hard path in the beginning. The Ishmaelites bought Joseph when his brothers removed him from the pit into which they had cast him, and he tramped beside their camels down the dusty trail into Egypt. By sheer brains and force of character he won his way into Potiphar’s employ: And he (Potiphar) left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not aught he had, save the bread which he did eat. Joseph’s life stretched out before him with the fine promise of success when the passion of a woman intervened, and evil days descended. “Behold this dreamer cometh”; unlock the prison door and let it clang behind him. In prison who remembered him? Potiphar’s wife, perhaps, with a sinister smile at his scruples. His go'lty brothers, like enough, with a lessening prick of conscience until they almost persuaded themselves they had forgotten. But the people whom he had benefited did not re member him.
