There is only one ticket for mayor and commission ers, that being composed of the present officers, and there is no opposition to the member of the present school board who is a candidate to succeed himself or to either of the two who will be elected to the board in place of two members who did not seek re-election. The fact that the ticket has no op position in the election should show that the people of the city are general ly satisfied with the way the affairs of city government have been conduct ed during the past two years. And such being the case we are suggesting that it is the duty of the people of the city to show their confidence by voting in the election Tuesday- although it is not necessary to pile up a large vote when there is only one ticket in the field. On Baseball Map Although some creditable baseball teams have represented North Wilkes boro industrial concerns in the past few years it appears that the 1935 team will place North Wilkesboro on the base ball map of western North Carolina. Baseball is the national game and as such is deserving of mention in these columns, especially when it becomes of local nature. North Wilkesboro is to have a good ball club this year and the Home Chair Company and other indus trial concerns that may cooperate in furnishing employment to the players are to be commended for their civic pride. A good ball club is essential to a good town and think of the opportunity local clubs have for training youths for higher places in the great game that attracts the attention of at least half Ihe population of the country six months out of every year. Legion to Fight Accidents The highway safety problem took a long- step toward solution lately with the announcement that the American Legion is to carry on an aggressive, or ganized program in thg intciCst ot au tomobile accident prevention. The pro gram is detailed in a booklet jointly publi.shed by the Legion and the Na tional Bureau of Casualty and Siuety Underwriters. Under the suggested plan, the .safety program will be handled by the Le gion’s Americanism Commission. Work ing under it will be State Traffic C om- mittees, composed of representatives from each di.strict. These committees in each state will maintain contact with the State Superintendent of Public In struction, the State Motor Vehicle Com missioner, the State Highway Patrol and the Legislature. Next there will be district safety com mittees, composed of a representative from each county in the district. These will hold meetings with county safety committees, to be composed of a repre sentative of each local post in the coun ty. The representative of each local post will work with local police, schools, city councils and engineering departments. All of the committees will cooperate with automobile clubs, insur ance companies, newspapers, safety as sociations and similar organizations. Workers in the cause of safety be lieve that the Legion can be of tremen dous aid in reducing the inexcusable accident toll—a toll which reached 35,- 000 people killed on streets and high ways last year. The Legion is to be com plimented on accepting this arduous duty—and the result will be happier and safer living for the people of the country. One of life’s dreariest sensations is pa)nng proeperity’s debts with depression’s Income.— ■Washington Evening Star. Doughton’s t)ecif ion No other piece of news in political channels has created the interest of Congressman R. L. Doughton’s an nouncement that he will not be a can didate for governor in North Carolina next year. Reading between the lines in Farmer’ Bob’s statement it appears that the ninth district congressman will stay in congress as chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee. We realize that Congressman Dough- ton is immensely popular with the masses in North Carolina and is also a nationally known figure. His chances of being governor would be excellent if he made the race for the Democratic nomination and it is no secret that he has been urged to run by friends in all parts of the state. The ninth district congressman is a right hand man of President Roosevelt and his administration. It is generally thought that one of the main reasons for his decision not to run for governor is because the president wanted him to stay in congress and in the capitol. He is of inestimable value to the adminis tration in carrying out the main fea tures of the New Deal program. The many w’ho have looked forward to Doughton’s announcing himself as a candidate for governor can gain some consolation out of the fact that he holds just as important position in the affairs of government in Washington as he would if he were governor of North Carolina. Borrowed Comment THK CRI.VIIC R.ATE (Cleveland Star) Since the full month of court, federal, restn- lar and special terms held recently in Cleve land, crime reports in the county have shown a noticeable drop. The theory—and it Keneral- ly holds true —is that heavy sentences on a few prisoners do friRlUen certain people into behaving themselves for a while. Criminal trends, though, ran almost be charted. January is a bad month, everywhere. There were, for instance, 130 murders in the United Slates during the first month, against 126 in February. We will experience a slight decrease in crimes of passion through the spring, only to .see a rise in July and August. The hot weather always brings bloodshed. Be that as it may, the high conduct of Judge Don Phillips, who let it be known in unmis- takaiile terms that he wasn’t fooling, caused a sharper drop in crime in this county than any variaiion of weather or season. (iood .iudges and good prosecutors are the surest antidotes to crime. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN SIN. REl’K.vrAXri:, AM) faith I.esson for May ,5th. I.uke 15: 11-2-1.

Electric wires inserted in the scalp and the lobe of the ear were connected with a sensitive galvanometer, and the intensity of the brain cur rents was measured as the pa tient worked out mathematical problems or did other forms ot mental exercise. Many years ago I knew a man in Brooklyn who believed that he could devise an apparatus which would record actual thoughts, without .the necessity of reducing them to speech. Hq called his machine a "thinko- graph.’’ He tried to connect his brain to a typewriter. They lock ed him up, after a while, in the Central Islip insane asylum! ESEi .

B, FEVER under control It is only within a few years that the full realization has come to the medical world that a fever is Nature’s attempt to overcome some infection inside the body. If the fever gets too high, how ever, the patient usually dies, because of the effect of the high temperature upon vital organs that are not infected. How to induce a fever high enough to kill off the germs of infection, and still not endanger the patient’s life, is a problem with which medical experiment ers have been wrestling for sev eral years. It was discovered that malarial fever would cure cer tain forms of insanity, but that was using one disease to cure another. Then the di.scovery was made that a fever could be in duced by short radio waves, and that method is now widely used in the treatment of insanity pneumonia and some other di seases. The latest use of artificial fev ers is the “fever box” at the Ford hospital, in w-hich patients are placed. .Marked Improvement in most cases, sr>me actual cures, arc reported. When I think back and recall how little the wisest medical men knew 4 5 years ago, when I was a medical student, ard how tar the effort to conquer disease has got since then, I feel renew ed confidence that mankind w’ill ultimately master all ot the ene mies that beset humanity. .-\R.MY snve.s .souls Herbert Hoover and Alfred E.

He has bought a little farm in New Jersey, two hours out from New York by train or motor, three miles from a good market town. Five and a half acres, with a tight, four-room house, good barn, chicken house and pigpen, a running brook, an acre and a half of woodlot and 35 apple trees cost him exactly $1,000. He was raised on a farm and his wife is not afraid of work. "We can live there the year around,” he said, “and save most of what I earn.
