People who deliberately obstruct traffic for their own personal conven ience have very little respect for the rights of others and present a problem that is somewhat a sore spot to motor ists. Nothing can be done about the fact that our streets are too narrow for a town of this size and where the amount of business is carried on that is done in North Wilkesboro, especially on Satur days. Our streets are too narrow and ^*we have to make the best of it. About 20 years ago we all walked when we were going short distances. If it was a mile to the postoffice we walk ed a mile. In this age of fast travel we ride in automobiles to the postoffice, grocery store, theatres or anywhere else. The tendency now is to go by au tomobile to where we are going and if we cannot park in front of that particuv lar establishment at the curb the car is stopped in the middle of the street while back behind the sound of horns must be something like an Ethiopian war. Possibly less than a block away from where the car is parked in the middle of the thoroughfare there is a parking space at the curb. One can stand on Main street and watch the same car pass a number of times looking for a place to park- la boring through the traffic up and down. On a less busy street not more than 50 to 100 yards away plenty of parking space can be found. Why not park the car, even if it is a block away from where you are going, and walk around. Walking is not crowded. As we have said before, if motorists would park in the lanes laid out by the police department many more cars could be parked. What could be more disgusting than to see an automobile parked just half way in two parking lanes? The motorists who tries to get in on either side soon comes to the con- 'clusion 'that maybe an Austin could do ' it but not a full grown automobile. TTiere is plenty of room for improve ment in the parking situation. Since people have the privilege of double poking for a few seconds and often leave their cars alone in the middle of the streets, double parking might be eliminated altogether. This certainly would be fair and no fair minded per son could be offended. In transacting business it sometimes becomes neces sary that a delivery truck park for a few seconds in ^e street or sometimes >-it is necessary for a truck to be length- yriae on the street for loading or un loading at some establishments where back entrances ar^not practical. How ever, the back should be used when ^ jMactical and anything that cannot be Whelped is always excusable. What we wish to point out is that double parking of automobiles, “katakomered” park ing and the inexcusable neglect of many motorists can be remedied to such an extent that motorists, even vis- ^ Piting tourists from afar, will be more favorably impressed with one of the year much a^htion ^ being to rural alectrification cmd it is truly 8 worthy aubjeet to muse upon. AlKKlt 18 years afo there wi^ an in- flu> of people from the farm to the^ et^. They not onl^ coveted the regular pay eheoK at tite end of a working per iod but wanted the modern, eon- vaBlaneei that the city home had to "6f- far. ■ Today there is a different picture apd country life b^ore enticing. The pereons who lives in an enterprising rural community may have his* electric lithts, electrical appliances to do much of the woi^, radios with which he‘can keep in touch with the worid of enter tainment, running water in his home and a newspaper delivered to his door. In addition to these things, many Of which have been made possible only in the last few years by the use of unlimit ed electricity over rural power lines, he can have what the country always has afforded: wide open spaces for a more abundant life, pure air and sun shine not hampered by buildings, vege tables and crops fresh from the fields to the kitchin and all the other things that have been extoled through the ages in comparison of country and^ity life: Farmers are cooperating wonderful ly in their efforts to get electricity. In communities where the income will warrant the investment the Du^e Pow er Company is extending lines into rural areas. Many rural communities in Wilkes now have power and several miles are being constructed this year where the people have shown a willing ness to cooperate and where th& com munities are settled thick enough to consume a reasonable amount of pow er. Rural electrification is working won ders for rural people. Borrowed Comment PURGING REUEF ROLLS (Winston-Salem Journal) The trend all over now is to purge relief rolls as rapidly as possible by shifting folk on relief to private employment. Which idea is all right. Government relief, obviously, can’t go on for ever. But relief authorities should make certain that before a worthy relief case is shunted off the rolls to private employment that a living wag^e is to be paid the worker and that the employ ment is more or less of a permanent type. A few days of work at negligible wages do .not con stitute sufficient cause for the dropping of a person’s name from relief rolls. There must be some assurance of continued employment at wages sufficient to sustain the worker and his dependents. ■ In too many cases these days the man who is right is left.—^Washington Post. It does seem as if the blues always are the favorite tunes of the Reds.—New Orleans States. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN DANIEL Lesson for August 11th. Daniel 1:8-20. Golden Text: 1 Corinthians 6:19. When Nebuchadnezzar had captured Jeru salem, he took back with him to his palace in Babylon the finest specimens of Hebrew young men he could find. These were there treated with the most gracious consideration. Presented with the best of food, and taught by the finest teachers, they occupied a position of unusual privilege. By such generosity of treatment the king hoped to make good Chal deans out of them. But Daniel and his three famous friends, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, would not sacrifice the faith and morals of their fathers. All of them registered^ conscientious objMtions to the king's program, and tbM^fore .got into trouble, barely escaping with their lives. Daniel must have had unusual personal charm. In addition to his physical attractive ness, he was well-spoken, and possessed of a richly stored mind. Daniel is interesting as the first vegetarian who appears on the pages Of history. Flatly’ refusing to eat the meat and drink the wine' from the royal table, he begged for a diet of vegetables and water. When his guardian ob jected, Daniel proposed a competition similar to the test put forward centuries later by Franklin to the beer-drinkers in his London printing-office. The guardian' gave his con sent, and at the end of ten days Daniel and bis friends proved to be in better physical shape than their rivals. But Daniel is best known by his famous ex perience with the lions, an episode all chil dren love so well. Because he knelt down and prayed thrice a day to the God of his tatheri{, with his windows opened toward Jernulem, he was thrown to the lions, much to ths chagrin of hte friend Darias, the king. How . he was saved, and hte enemies tom td'pleces, te * thrllll&c tale.
