Cm aa ■acood claaa mattar imdar Act 4, IOT». g MONDAY, JULY 22, 1&86 Figures Goinc Up J ile Bciencd is striving, and with derable success, to combat disease aad other enemies of mankind that ; aaake ^ high death rate the people of tWs country are killing themselves by ^^•aoWental means. Last year accidental deaths in the "^United States totaled 101,000 and deaths by accident ranked third in ^>ecific causes. In other words there ■were three diseases that took a greater tell than accidents. In the age of youth, five to nineteen, accidents led all other causes of death. Accidental deaths resulted in more liian three billion loss in property dam- ece and wages, according to records compiled by insurance companies. It la hard to impress upon the public the magnitude of carelessness while it is comparatively easy to tell a person that Iw or she should be vaccinated in or der not to contract typhoid. When told adwut the danger of accidents a person nanally considers the danger is to some- l>ody else when as a matter of fact everybody’s life is almost continually .•ah'jeopardy during this fast age. Outlook Good Just what, if any, are the indications for better business during the next year? Is the question that engages the minds of M majority of the thinking people of this county at the present time. There are many indications that a safe and sane prosperity for this country is on its way. To begin a resume of the outlook, let \is start with the man who tills the soil, or as the G. 0. P. would say it, go to the “grassroots.” The drought of last year has been for gotten as fanners have been working hard throughout the summer in cultivating and harvesting good crops, for which they are reasonably assured they will get fair prices. Industry and business seems to be on the upgrade, despite the fact that the MBA is no more. With only a few excep- tkms here and there the wage structure been maintained. There are also indications that the market for natural resources, such as lum- bo* and products of the mines, will be in {nereased demand. Barring unforseen developments in the economic structure of the country it ap pears that the outlook is bright and that ^Bst around the comer” we have been hearing about for five years is nearer ftan ever before. ♦ " — Muat Vaccinate Dogs By this time people should be fully aware of the fact that the last legislature passed a law making it mandatory that dog owners have their dogs vaccinated against rabies. We were never enthusiastic about the law and to this date doubt the ability of enforcing it with any efficiency and thor- OBghness. But we have the law-and are anxious to see how it will turn out. In other words we want to see a sure- 'aiough effort made to enforce its provis ions. We want to see people who are care- . Jl^ enough npt to have their dogs vaoci- brought to task. Itt enfolding the law the township rabies inspectors will have their hands fuD. There m also a law that requires that a sum be paid each year as taxes on dogs. We would like to see this law en- to the letter and wish at this time to commend tax listers for their ^gence in getting so many dogs listed this ye^. JTe have no objection to anyone keeping They, are intelligent animals and such are highly iwized. It is the stray and the wtaftirfeM type that are most to have hj#^#obia because they ov*^nHlWK^^wn8hip« and are into contact ........ - , - , I? a mad dog. A person WBcF^rcauy prizes his dog is going to pay taxes m it, admit ownership and have it vaoeinated. Unless he takes these precautions the ani mal should killed on sUd^^ This would be good for me good dogs and would les sen the danger of rabies^ humans. Needing a Reformatory We have often heard SoUeitHr J^ R. Jones aay that there is something wrong with North Carolina’s system of punish ment and that the state needs a training school or refonnatory for youths who art* convicted of misdemeanors. There is mpeh to this ai^fument. No one knows better thai Sector Jones^ that many are sentenced to short twms on the roads or to the penitentiary get back into the courts again and oftm the sec ond offense is far more serious than the first , Sentencing a youth to the roads or the penitentiary as a general rule dooms hinv to a life of crime. As to the hardened criminal or the criminal type of person a term on the roads or in the. pea is just as good as anything bectaue.the obfect is to get the criminal Otit of society. But something is needed to sa^e the convicted yout^ for a life that is worth something. Th4.stench of a road sentence hangs to him too loag and places against his future a threat that is exdSSSIng hard to overcome. A youth receives no training and no help that will aid or encourage him to go straight. In this the state fails utter ly and lets the ex-convict go back to his former haunts. The federal government has a better system. At Chillicothe an industrial re formatory is maintained and to this insti tution first offenders who are not hard ened criminals are sent. There the en vironment is far different from that at the federal prison at Atlanta, to which the more hardened criminals are sentenc ed. At Chillicothe the inmate learns dif ferent trades and before released is en couraged to lead a life that should not get him before the courts again. However, if one who has been sentenced to Chillicothe refuses the opportunity to go straight, the regular penitentiary beckons when he faces the court again. For THE BOOK the first line of which reads, “The Holy Bible,” and which contains four great treasures. By BRUCE BARTON THE NEW TESTAMENT The first books of the Testament “read in chapters” with the Old Testament selections, were apostolic letters, notably those of Paul, and including generally, though not invariably, the longer epistles of John, Peter and James. (When the Gospels appeared they were immedi ately used in like fashion, and at once assumed a place of priority, not because any one in au thority said it must-be so but because they were so important and so interesting. For a good while there was no attempt to make complete collections. Few churches had all the New Tes tament books and many had other books, as the EJpistle of Clement and the Shephred of Hermas, which were loved. When discussion began as to which books ought to be read regularly, there was immeliate agreement on the most important ones, the four Gospels and the larger epistles. There was a good deal of doubt about Revelation and Second Peter and the two short epistles of John, which were relatively unimportant, as was then ack nowledged and is still evident. But gradually there came to be agreement, not by authority but by the test of general usage, and the trans lation, and later the printing of the Bible, finally fixed the list. If any one asks whether we know absolutely that every book in the Old and New Testaments is holy above all other books, the answer is, We do not. No one can say that Esther, which has been dropped out; certainly it is not so re ligious or so sweet in its spirit. No one can say that the Epistle of Jude is more important than the Epistle of Clement. The mountaijj range of the Bible shades off into foot-hills, and we do not know just where the range begins or ends. But the range is there, towering magni ficently above all other literature. Scholars may discuss its measurements and limits; the theo logically minded may battle over its “inspira tion.” Let them argme- What the world needs is more folk to read, ! '* Wo come now t6 tke swond question, Ho^ were these chosen books preserved through the ages and passed down to us? Until the invention of printing, which WM de sired nrainly that the Bible might be published, copies were made by hand, and errors inevitably crept in, no matter how scrupulous the copyists’ care. Hence in making translations it became desirable to have as many of them for compari son as possible. The earliest manuscript copies that haVe survived to our time date from the fourth century A, D., and the stroyofone of them, the Sinaitic, will illustrate the.vicissitudes thru which they have passed.

Prodnetioo Haa ^ icheJ 84a,S04 Unite rn, Mich, July .19.—"My biggest Job these days to in dis tributing wMlth in a form that people can use It,” Henry Ford said todjiy, as he smiled broadly and handed newspapermen > pro duction ^’ifmres for the first six months of tb«.,year. Last November4'ord announced that he would buhd “a million cars-or better” In 1986. With the year but half gone the figures Ford Motor company had built show that, up to June 30, the 810,700 units In the United States and Canada. ; Foreign manufacture for the ^ months period was 87,804, hj^lsing the total world production up to 848,604. * , “When do you expect to pass the 1,000,000 mark?”'^Mr. Ford was asked. The motor maker, wearing a fine coat of tan and appearing to be in the best of spirits, again smiled and said; “Now, Now! that’s something else again. I’m just a manufac turer, not a prophet. Our men have h^d work for which our whole organization is thankful. There are many things that lead us to be hopeful for the next six months. But we’re not dead cer tain. WIe are just doing the best we can.’’ The board of commissioners of the Town of Wllkesboro met in adjourned session Friday night with C. E. Lenderman, Joe R. Barber, and L. B. Dnla, commis sioners, present. Ralph R. Reins, other member of the board, was away with his National Guard Company. The meeting was call ed by Mayor W. E. Harris, who presided. Several claims presented to the board were ordered paid from the town’s general fund, and the board ordered P. L. Lenderman, tax collector, to dis continue water service after Au gust 15th to everyone who is in arrears for more than a month’s water rent a*: that time. The board ordered Mr. Lenderman to give due notice to this effect to every water user of the town when the monthly water bills are presented August 1st. The board accepted the in crease of 5 cents per thousand gallons of water which has been added by the ’Town of North Wilkesboro, but this increase will not make the water cost the consumers of Willkesboro any more than they have been paying in the past, if water users pay their bills promptly, the board decided. The minimum price for water will remain the same as in the past, $1.00 for three thous and gallons. An application to sell beer was received by the board, but the application was rejected.

Mwa Buicks Sold Already In 1935 Then In AH 1934 That business is better in North Wilkesboro is indicated In the announcement of the Buick Motor Company that the Boone Trail Motor Company has sold piore Buick cars during the first half of this year than were sold in'this locality in all of 1934. Reports received at the factory show that dealers in 368 towns and cities throughout the United States bare surpassed their total 1934 volume, according to the announcement, while many other dealers are rapidly approaching the 100 per cent mark. “Many of the towns showing heavily increased sales over last year are those serving rural areas,” said W. P. Hufstader, Buick general sales manager. “This Indicates a greater purch asing power on the part ot the farmer and the merchant and a return of a measure of that pros perity that has ‘been around the corner’ for so many years.” In* a letter congratulating the Boone Trail Motor Company Mr. Hufstader said. “You are on the honor roll of Buick dealers whose sales so far this year have exceeded their total volume in 1934'. That’s a good job well done, and I want you to know that you have my sincere appreciation and my hearty thanks. ’This achievement ia too fine to keep in the family.
