The way the docket was congested for At period of years was extremely harmful to the courts. An offender who could get bsil, and any except the lowest clasi whom none would trust could, would get oat on bond and when time for court came around the term was taken up in trying the unfortunates in jail, which proceed- ure was right and just and is not question- ed- But nevertheless, this method, which was the only feasible one to use, resulted in a lack of deterring power on the part of the courts because a criminal had little fear of punishment several years ahead. With the courts working efficiently an indicated criminal can expect to face judgment when court convenes and there is little hope that his case wll be con tinued. We are already noticing a decrease ^ in crime and justice being swiftly meted out to offenders will hasten a further de crease. Work Seldom Kills Every year about this time we begin to see reports in the newspapers, of farmers dying from “sunstroke” while working in the fields. We hear such occurrences used as illustrations of the terrific hardships of the farmer’s life of toil. About this time of year, also, we begin to notice frequent reports in the city pap ers of men dropping dead on the golf courses. We have seldom heard anyone suggest that the golfer’s life must be a terrible one, because so many men die at the game. One is work, the other is play. There is a wide-spread belief that all work is dangerous to health and longevity, while all play is beneficial. We have heard ^we don’t know how many—sentimental .songs, and have read innumerable stories ^d magazine articles, all conveying the mplication that work in itself is a life shortening Erippliflg aiu| generally un- ■^olMome thing. W9 have heal’d ^ many young men excuse their lazihess oy de claring: “I don’t intend tb kill myself " The same young men* or their type, will spend hoUrS iii the broiling sun batting tennis-balls across a net. About as violent work as anyone can do. We are strongly of the opinion that that there is nothing injurious to health in work alone. We have observed nurner- ous individuals who have spent fairly long lives in pretty hard and steady work, aad who are still alive and healthy. The persons to whom work is injurious, as nearly as we can figure it out, are the un- '{(Hrtunate ones whose health has been im paired by disease. It is much more likely that the knots on Grandma's finger-joints coffie from bad teeth or infected tonsils than that they were caused by exercise at ^ the washboard. The victim of “sunstroke” %^3Biost likely had a bad heart to start with, perhaps frwn an infantile case of scarlet fever. Too much encouragement is being giv- 4^ it seems to us, tj the notkm that work is a bad thing for people, and that play . likould hTtbe chief object of lifA Schools Mid ^ The works progress adminis^tion ^ looking for projects on whldi td'use labor and where the principal cost to tiie gov- emamt will be labenr. If Wilkes county borrows 960,000 with whidi to erect school buildings and laake necessary additiema to erbsting edifices it aiqiiesrs that a project snch as the WPA wants would'be cTMtted. If used only to buy materials the |60,- 000 loan would go ahmg way towarferect- ihg buildings, but rince W^ abor ^ be confined principally to relief oasea the natural conclusion seems to b^fiiat much of the labor in erecting schod buildings must be sought elsep^ierel The type of peiwn usually found on rriief does not include bricklayers and carpenters that can put out the type of work needed in such construction. Of course, there is much unskiUed labor used in building work and it would be comparatively easy to supply that tyjie. Even that much help would enable the county to get much more from the 960,000 than if no WPA labor is used. With everything considered it appears that the county should experience little difficulty in getting’ approval of school building projects. It can be made clear that jobs can be furnished by the expen diture of WPA work relief funds and jobs are what the WPA organization is seeking, especially for those who have been maintained, partially or wholly, by the relief administration. NOne- Borrowed Comment WILL BE MUCH MORE LATER (Charlotte Observer) The attitude of persons on relief rolls who no longer request but demand aid is causing no lit tle perplexity among the administrators, one of them is saying. And there will be more of this, much more! The longer certain types of people are thus benefitted, the more inclined they are to take the charity not so much as a kindness, but as that to which they are entitled. It is their right, they contend. And America faces increasing volumes of this spirit in the future as the period is prolonged during which this philanthropy is extended. The really big job, perhaps, ahead of the country in this field is that of separating the people at length from this form of benefaction. IF YOU WOULD SUFFER LESS FROM THE HEAT— (Morganton News-Herald) Don’t eat everything. Cniew your food thoroughly. Don’t drink any ice water. Boil all water before putting ice in it. Let your wife have her way. Give your thermometer to your worst enemy Avoid excursions, vacations, picnics and parties. Avoid strange dogs and your wife’s relatives. Don’t spend your time and energ^y discussing such thingfs as heat records, the NRA, the AA.4., foreign trade, crop control, humidity averages, etc. Somebody is writing a book to be called ‘‘ColMdge to Roosevelt.” Alternative title: “From Riches to Second-Hand Rags.”—New York Herald-Tribune.

DUNN JOSIAH Lesson for August 4th. 2 Kings 22 and 23. Golden Text: Matthew 4:10. Josiah. who was proclaimed king of Judah when he was but a little lad 8 years old, is one of the most attractive figures in the sacred rec ord. “Like unto him,” says the Bible historian, “was there no king before him; neither after him arose there any like him.” He reminds Uf of his great-grandfather, the upright Hezekiah. Indeed he can stand comparison with the mighty David, 1 • I ^ - ! •! ' ' I Josiah Is one of the great reformers of his tory. Under his grandfather Manasseh, an un principled rascal, who misruled the people for 55 long years, the moral and religious zeal of Judah had sunk to a very low ebb. His father Amon was equally bad, and lasted only two years, coming to an igmoble end through the hanil of an assassin. The task facing the new young king was tremendous, but into it he put the energy of ten men. He knew that the nation was in a most critical condition. The thorough-going reformation of Josiah was inspired by the discovery by Hilkiah, the High Priest, of the Book of Instruction, or Deuteron omy, in the temple where it had long gathered dust, its warnings neglected, its laws allowed to become obsolete. The king was so disturbed by the contents of this forgotten volume that he read it publicly to a great assembly, follo^ng which both king and people entered into a solemn covenant to act in accord with' its provisions. Pagan altars were removed, fakirs were barred: lewd practices stamped out; the Mosaic Law re stored. -r Unfortunately Josiah was slain in an ill-ad vised battle. With high hopes he went out .to meet the powefful Necho, of Egjrpt, near M^iddo, and there he felluBut this premature death spared him ^ pain of vatchiag his be-; loved eoBDflry^iink into its tragic doom,- PURLBAR, July 80.~Mr. and Mra.
