Social Service Exchange
The Social Service Ebcchange, an or
ganization looking to co-operation and
united effort on the part of organizations
dealing in charity and public welfare work,
has been formed in Wilkes county.
This is a forward step that should help
all the organizations and prevent overlap
ping of activities, thus enabling a broader
fidd of service with more unfortunates
gaining the benefits of a humane society.
Highway Maintenance
It is good news to the motorists that
pomes out of Raleigh to the effect that
f10,000,000 is to be expended on high
way maintenance next year.
liiany motorists, and especially those
who travel off the main arteries of the
Eigh-way system, had already begun to
wonder what the state is doing with six
cents from each gallon of gasoline, not to
mention revenue from the sale of auto
mobile tags.
As a matter of fact. North Carolina has
SEiany millions in bonded indebtedness for
loads already constructed and on which
we must pay principal and interest. At
the same time we should remember the
trwnendous investment in roads and not
neglect maintenance provisions that will
preserve the highways for the benefit of
this and coming generations.
Outlying dirt roads, however, are not
the HiIy ones needing particular care and
maintenance. Many of the hardsurfaced
highways can be made useless by neglect
and millions could be wasted by costly
economy in failing to keep them in good
repair.
Of Great Significance
All obstacles in the way of constructing
the Shenamioah-Smoky Mountain park
way are being removed and dirt will be
moved on the route soon, if Washington
reports are correct.
Now comes the anuouncement out of
Washington that the scenic road may be
extended from Sienandoah to New Eng
land and from Smoky Mountains .to Flor
ida, traversing the continent.
This announcement is of much interest
to us. As the upside map we recently
published shows, the ^rkway will be
along the Blue Ridge mountains in Alle
ghany, Ashe apd Watauga counties in this
section. (And by way of explanation, let
us state here that the map was furnish
ed by the national park service and they
made the mistake of getting the lettering
upside down.)
The parkway as originally planned will
be a great asset to the counties through
which it passes and if it is extended to he
X trani-continental I’oad the traffic will be,
iseieased tremendMouriy with resultant
Refits to nearby towns and communi-
^^^niree state highways through Nmth
Wilkei^ro will serve to handle much of
the traffic to and from the parkway from
piedmont and eastern North CbtoBm.

because of its proximity and the

and others aiu saying that it
needs revUipn td give .the gbvenunent
more latitude in making arid enforcing
laws dealing with hiterstate relations.
. The constitution of the nation was so
■framed as to give to, each state certain
rif^ts of self-government and freedom
frtw regulations over and above certain
limitations by the federal govennnenti es
pecially in dealing with commerce from
me state into another. •
Also along this line we read and hear
much about individual* liberties. Regard
less of laws and governmental regulations
we have faith in the American people as
a race that they will preserve all
vidual liberties that go toward mal
free country and will instinctively
at anything else. ^
But when it comes to#t(Hs^U^tion'of
liberty we have jppjfiSMing com^x to
study. It is mosl^l^rtain that-Jthe govern
ment should fe^a hand in curbing indi
vidual liberty A»lmn the right of one i^
dividual to ac«in a givm manner impairs
the individual l|^rties of many other peo^
pie, or perhaps me Eberties of a class of
people. In order that Ae natto may have
the utmost in freedonrftftlhe population
as a whole it sometimes becomes expediait
that the liberties of some be curbed to
some extent for the benefit of all.
This country was settled by people seek
ing individual liberty and our government
was formed by industrious patriots who
disliked the ways of England’s monarchial
rule. It was this same spirit that carried
this country successfully through all its
conflicts and brought it forward among
the civilized nations of the world.
It appears now that the big issue in na
tional politics next year will be whether
this nation is to continue strictly with its
charter or have an elastic constitution that
will give the government more latitude.
The New Deal Democrats, led by itoose-
velt, will draw many liberal Republicans
on the theory that the constitution and its
literal interpretation by the supreme
court are out of date and do not fit this
age. On the other hand Republicps
clinging to the theory that the constitu
tion must be rigidly observed to protect
liberties and rights, will draw much sup
port from conservative Democrats, or at
least will cause them to be lethargic in the
presidential campaign.
Sunday School Lesson
By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN
Washington, July It—Reports
of extending the Great
Mountain National parkway, from
the Shenandoah park to the New
England resort region became
something more than spe'cnlation
today when the PWA announced
an allocation of $2,500 to the Na
tional Park Service for making a
preliminary survey of a parkway
between Washington and Wor
cester, Mass.
Total cost of the survey will
be $5,000, the bureau of public
roads furnishing the remaining
$2,500.
President Roosevelt has always
manifested keen intereet in the
Great Smoky Mountain N^ional
parkway and he took a hand In
locating it -through North Caro
lina. At the timO''he told some
of his friends that be oped to
see the parkway extended so as to
reach from New England to
Florida.
Allocation of money to make a
survey indicates that the presi
dent’s wishes may be carried out.
Meanwhile those Interested In
the parkway are seeking to clear
a legal snarl in the legal division
of the Interior department and
ACKNOWLEDGED BODY OF BOOKS
Josephus, the great Jewish historian, dos-s not
name the books of the Old Testament, but he
limits the period of their production to the end
of the Persian rule and gives the number as
twenty-two, the number of letters in the He
brew alphabet. This was counting the five
books of Moses one, the twelve minor prophets
one, and certain other combinations.
The Old Testament books that survived were
in the old classic Hebrew. Those' that bore a
later stamp were received with suspicion, if at
all.
The other factor which tended to fix a canon,
or acknowledged body of books, was the trans
lation of the Old Testament into Greek by a
group of scholafrs whose work bega n under
Ptolemy, king of Egypt, about two centuries
before Christ. In this translation, called the
Septuagint, or work of seventy scholars, was in
cluded a body of sacred literature already in
Greek, the books known to us as the Apocryha.
These were a part of the Bible of Jesus and the
apostles and were, of course, held sacred, as
were also certain books from which the New
Testament quotes, but which have not come down
to us. The Apocalypse of Enoch is an tfcample.
Jude quotes it in the first chapter of his little
epistle, the fourteenth verm
Thus, while certain books from the ancient
Hebrew had come to be accepted before the time
of Jesus as entitled to special reverence, t^
fringes and margins of that collection were still
open to dispute and were, in fact, disputed vig
orously for two hundred years. For instMce,
a very early bishop of Sardis who made a jour-
,ney to Palestine for the eaqiress purpose of
learning, if he could, precisely 'what books the
Jews accepted as canonical, omitted Esther,
Ezra and Lamentations ftom his list. And the
question of ’(riiether the two books, Bedesiastes
and the Song of Songs, should be accounted
sacred was not settled until the Council of Jam-
nia, about 90 A. D. ! ! >-i it'' V-
We may Wm it all up by saying that the an
cient books which were most used and gave
most inspiration survived and, by being trans
lated, secured a idace for themselves in the
canon. These include an out-and-out love song
whkh has no religious motive; a book which
does not jmention the name of God. and another.
Ecclesiastes, which is very contradictory. But
the selection, made by the process of survival
and on the basis of those books which were best
beloved, is probahly much finer than it would
have been if . a group of man, however devoted,
had jMt themselves at any one time to assume
the whole responsibility.
