Rugged and Ragged In the address of Dr. William J. Cai^ rin^n, president of Kiwanis Interna tional, there appeared a great deal of comment on co-operation and an occasional thrust at what we call “rugged individual ism." One statement that caught our attention was that concerning a “rugged individual ism that makes ragged individuals.” Such a condition is to be deplored. However, it is one that has been with us for centuries. The address of Dr. Carrington dealt mainly with the very commendable ob jectives Kiwanis clubs have in serving under-privileged chUdren; but asked what it profits to serve under-privileged chil- dm and at the same time allow conditions to exist which will make for more under privileged so fast that the organization cannot hope to keep up with the demand for help? He pointed out the new frontiers of friendly understanding between people of different professions and trades to the end that greater inroads can be made on social and economic evils. It is no secret that the Kiwanis clubs, and especially the one here, have done much good and the address of their international head is one to inspire them to greater and better accomplishments. Unbalanced Situation Mrs. W. R. Absher, who is leading the fight in the satte for ratification of the child labor amendment, made a pertinent observation in an article published today when she pointed out that the crime bill in this nation amounts to 13 billion dollars as compared to one billion for education. This appears to be an unbalanced situa tion and one that could vastly be improved. It may cost the public a half million dol lars to handle the crime career of one in dividual. We believe that there is a deficiency in training somewhere that causes criminal careers, and Mrs. Absher adequately lays at least a part of the bkme on children going to work too young for monetary gain while they should still be in school, and she insists that the present deplor able conditions can never be eliminated until every child is given a “square deal.” If the people of this nation could double the expenditure for education and training, paying more attention to the children and the training they must re ceive for life, it would cut enough from the cost of crime to make up several times the larger cost of education. Mrs. Absher has called attention to the great problem and one tha will receive more and more attention by the progres sive citizens of the nation as time goes on jmd they realize more fully the extent of failure in dealing ? youth. chlidhood mm * Peihaps fiiere is no question of s mwe ^ import to national and state leaders than unemidoytnent^ and sincetlunemploy*nent>; insurance has come to the front it ^ has gained even more interest among the peo ples that such a policy would irffect. In June last year the government ap pointed a commission to study unemploy ment and the feasibility of unemplosnnent insurance. The main findings regarding , employment were summarized by the University News Letter as follows: The commission’s study covers the period from 1920 down to the present, with em phasis on the period 1929-1934. The chief , findings may be summarized briefly: 1. That the extent of nnemployment in North Carolina, during the present depres sion, has ranged from about 10 per cent of the state’s gainful workers in 1929, to about 23 per cent in 1932, since which time it has declined. The number of unemployed industrial workers today is about 90,000, including agricultural workers. 2. That unemployment, not only since 1929, but over the whole period from 1920 to the present, has been less severe for North Carolina than for the nation as a whole. The chief reasons for this appear to be: a. The fact that a relatively large pro portion of the state’s gainful workers are en gaged in agriculture. ■ b. The fact that the state’s dominant in dustries. namely, tebctiles, tobacco and fur niture, are engaged in the production of consumer goods, which typically are not hit as hard by depressions as are the heavy in dustries. C. The fact that, especially during the decade of the 20’s, considerable amounts of capital were immigT'ating into the state, which gave rise to employment here, even though it might be declining elsewhere. 3. That the fluctuations of employment and unemployment in North Carolina will probably conform more closely to that of the country as a whole in the future than it has in the past. a. Because of the fact that most of oar in dustries have reached maturity, and will not continue to expand in the future as they have in the past. b. Because of the likelihood of less capi tal immigration into the state in the future. c. Because of the equalizing effects of the national codes. Thus we find that North Carolina has never been in such a bad way concerning employment, but that the factors that held the state up have more or less diminished tmtil at the present time North Carolina is fairing little better than the nation as a whole. The report indicates that this state needs unemployment insurance now and will continue to need it. The Book » «IV coAtolas fonr Krcat treasures. By BRUCE BARTON THE HEART OF DAVID ,We know that David solidified his kingdom and made it respected among the powerful na tions of that part of the world. Let us pass by, then, the record of his official life and touch on two incidents that reveal his heart. It was after one of the great battles with the Philistines when his little force was sur rounded, cut off from supplies and even from water, that David, worn out and thirsty, thought of the clear pure water in his father’s well which had cooled his lips in boyhood. His parch ed throat yearned for it. And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate! And the throe mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; nevertheless he would not drink there of, but poured it out unto the Lord. And he said. Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? Therefore he would not drink it. It is easy to xmderstand why men worshipped a leader like that. The other incident occurred in the campaign against his son Absalom, the boy whom he loved more than all the world av j who repaid his love by organizing a revolt and attempting to seize the throne. David gave orders that the boy was under no circumstances to be killed, but the zeal of a professional soldier was not to be curbed by such an order, and word was brought to the king that Absalom was dead. 'The revolt was broken, his throne was safe, he could go back to the se curity of the palace, but it all meant nothing. The feelings of the monarch were swallowed up in the heart-breaking angpiish of the father: Oh my son Absalom, my son, my son Ab salom! would to God I had died for thee, 0 Absalom, my son, my son! Perhaps the most poignant cry in history from a father’s bleeding hfe.-rt. The faults of David are set forth none the less clearly than his virtues; we feel the reality of him in every line. Yet no catalogue of his short comings can hide his essential greatness. He was a genius in war, in administration and in literature. He reorganized a government that lasted more than four centuries as a single dy nasty and which lived as an ideal through thirty centuries. iKC, iue la agm te tte p«Uio MVtefBiNk TIm awnilLjtef tef articiM irltemi ■tehif. this beading, and beUlMr joiddnea por nandenuia «han>. fteaae ba as ta4et aa poaMUe. Asks Rf^pretenUtive Altout Economy , Editor Journal-Patriot, Will you please publish the following open letter to Mr. T. S. Bryan, Wilkes member ol the State Legislature? Mr. T. 8. Bryan, Member House of Representa tives, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir: If there ever was a time in the history of our commonwealth when additional Ux burdens should bo avoided now Is that time. Hundreds out of employ ment right here in our midst, and hundreds of men, women and children actually in need of the necessities of life. Hand In hand with these problems we have with us the burden of tax ation, not only on real and per sonal property, but. In addition thereto, a sales tax which taxes almost every purchase made from baby’s clothes to father’s overalls. Anyway viewed, it does not tend to create an aurora of cheerfulness or placid content ment. That is, unless one should happen to be the favored sheriff of Wilkes county, or the Register of Deeds of Wilkes County, or the Clerk of Superior Court of Wilkes County. It seemed as they were pretty well taken care of for the next few years, last fall, when they were elected to office and at good salaries, considering existing conditions. But It seems as they were not satisfied, in view of the tact that a bill was introduced and passed in the present legislature, of which you are a member, giving each of these officials Six Hundred Dol lars per year for clerk hire. This bill will cost the taxpayers of Wilkes county the sum of Four Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars during the terms these officials were elected to serve. In 10 years it will cost the tax payers of Wilkes County the staggering sum of $18,000 for which they will not receive one cent worth of benefit. Mr. Bryan, where you when this bill was enacted into law. Who asaed you either in person or by letter to allow this bill to pass? The citizens and taxpayers of Wilkes county want this law re pealed and also the two other bills you had enacted into law confirming and ratifying tax set tlements from 1928 to 1934, and empowering the sheriff to re tain tax foreclosure fees of $2.05 for each and every foreclosure in 1936.

If It was their Intention to ask for additional clerk hire they should have told the voters so, and I venture to say; that in case they bad, we would have some new faces In the court house now. Think of how many school teachers sal aries that could have been paid with the fund this bill gives these officials. Mr. Bryan, In announcing your candidacy, you said: “1 am the same Sherman Bryan.” In your campaign speeches you decried high taxes and deplored extrava gance and pledged yourself to official economy. Are you “the same Sherman Bryan? Have you kept your very solemnly made (?) campaign promises? Yours truly, J. RUFF HENDERSON, Wilkesboro, N. C.

The eye is one of the most delicate as well as one of the most important organs in the human body. Under modem condi tions most of us abuse our eyes terribly. In most of our homes we read, sew, play or work under an average of five to tO units of light. Five thousand to 10,000 units of light are available outdoors on a cloudless day—on such a day there is approximately 500 units of light in the shade. The result of the atrocious lighting con ditions that are found in most of our homes and schools is that 2S per cent of our children are found to have defective vision by the time they finidi high school —by the time they finish college this proportion has grown to 40 per cent. Think of it! Two youngsters out of five handicapped for life during their school years as a result of studying under im proper and insufficient light! The I. E.
