Old chimneys wake with autumn fires. And send aloft their curling breath; And long-dead ghosts of old desires Walk nightly in their robes of death. —James Larkin Pearson. Hazards of Home Life It was Mark Twain, we believe, who used to say that the most dangerous place for anybody to be was in bed, because he had learned from statistics that more people died in bed than anywhere else. Admiral Carey T. Grayson, head of the Red Cross, has just given out some simi lar statistics, which are to be taken a lit tle more seriously than Mark Twain’s humorous remark. More people are killed every year by accidents in their own homes than are killed on the highways in automobile accidents, the Red Cross has discovered. Last year more than 34,000 lives were lost by such things as falling downstairs, fires, accidental poisoning— usually from taking the wrong pills out of the bath room medicine closet in the dark—and such hazards as lightning, for getting to turn off the gas, and standing on top of wobbly step latters. The Red Cross is starting a campaign for safety in the home. We will do our part by tryir^: not to step on the soap the next time we get out of the bathtub. ■nie parking situation in North Willow- boro hu ^ha{>s been a pet subject with I^.U8 hut'a ghuice~ at newspapeni in^othm; towns indicate'IsimUar situati(OT:^TOat of fer i^enty of room for knprovemcnit. Just for the purpose of enlightenment we are reproducing in full an editorial en tity “An Imperative Nwessity,” which appeared in a recent issue of the Winston- Salem Journal: ^ . John M. Brown, head of the WinstoS-Salem Aatomobile Club, is right much of a humorist. Bit the local “Will Rogers” was not trying to be funny last week when he declared that many cities and towns of the country are losing heav ily in tourist trade because they do not provide adequate parking space in their business centers. Of course, as he talked, Mr. Brown had a di rect eye on Winston-Salem, for this city is es pecially laggard and lacking with respect to ade quate parking facilities in its downtown area. The problem has been so acute here that for years suggestions have been tendered relative to the establishment of a large parking center somewhere near the heart of the business dis trict. But for this reason or that nothing has come of the repeated suggestion. Meanwhile, as Mr. Brown points out, visitors, tourists, coming into town with a view toward spending some time in the city on account of the wide number of accommodations, amusements, recreational facilities, etc., stay only a short while and move on to some tourist cabin camp where they find plenty of storage room for their cars. By establishing a free parking center some where near the center of downtown business ac tivities. the city can capture many an elusive dollar that now has a tendency to flee to out- of-town tourist camps, roadside cafes, rural service stations, etc. And it can assure itself of many trade dollars that now are headed toward other towns and cities simply because farm and village folk ii^ its natural trading area can find no place to park here while doing their shopping. Better parking facilities in Winston-Salem seems to us to be an imperative necessity. With the:exception of recommending a parking area in the business district the editorial suggestion might well be applied to North Wilkesboro as well as Winston- Salem. There they have a parking prob lem similar to ours except on a much larg er scale. On Saturdays business i>eople and clerks would do well to leave their cars in alleys or on side streets in order to pro vide more convenient parking i-oom for visiting customers. And we still advocate the idea of set ting aside some vacant lot for trucks that sell produce to consumers. It would be much better than being on the streets in that it would provide more parking space for visitors and would mean a convenience to the fanners who wish to sell and the buyers would know just where to go if they were looking for a pig—for instance —or any other animal or article that is sold from trucks. 1.^ rS: Urges Farmers Not To Sell Scrap Weed New Thought On Economics Very often something drifts in to a newspaper office that stirs our attention because it is something new. From a syn dicated article entitled “Two Minute Ser mon,” by Thomas Hastwell, we find a paragraph dealing with a successful man’s advice to his grandson. We offer it for what it may be worth. “My daily contained recently an inter view with Theodore Gary, telephone mag nate, in which Mr. Gary told the stoiy of his life and then uevoted the I’emainder of the inten iew to the advice he had often given ,his grandsons. Three things espec ially attracted me in the interview of this very successful man. The first was that though now the head of a concern which does an annual business of 150 million dollars and employs 25,000 per.sons Mr. Gary started out a poor boy. The second thing that impressed me was that al though almost eighty years old and hav ing during his long active career been en gaged in many business enteiprises and employed many people he never himself nor peimiited any of his employees to be anj'thing other than strictly honest and honorable in all their dealings. The third thing that impressed n>e in connection with this remarkable life was this portion of his advice to his grandsons: ‘Think constructively. To illustratv;, if you are earning $1000 a year and spending it do not waste too much thought on how to re duce expenses so as to save $100. But ra ther think and plan how to increase your earnings $100 a year.’ I like that thought. There is more involved in such a philoso phy of life than merely the $100. The mere saving of $100 calls for a retraction, a suppression of one’s energies, a drawing lin, but the earning of another $100 calls forth extra energies, more active and more progressive thought. It tends to de velop further the energy and initiative and outlook. Coming from a man like jstry, who has proven its value in a long ^successful and honorable life, it is splen- *did advice to any young man or young Distance from market often makes a difference in the price at which a thing will sell. For instance fish worms in the garden and grasshoppers in the field are not worth anything, but around the fish ing resorts they are worth ten cents a dozen. The most far sighted investor these days is the one who had the forethought to locate his home on a corner lot suitable for a filling station. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN JEREMIAH’S MESSAGE Les.son for October 20th. Jeremiah 7:1-11. Golden Text: Jeremiah 7:23. Relijrion, aceordinR to Jeremiah, is inward and. .spiritual. Religious faith, he tells us. is an ex perience of the individual soul in its relation with God. The prophets who preceded Jeremiah were interested primarily in the nation. The individu al for them had importance only as a member of the father-land. But Jeremiah stresses personal religion. To be .sure, he never lost faith in Israel and .its final restoration. But his primary stre.ss was upon the individual heart and its inescap able union with its Maker. But if religion is fundamentally personal, then the heart must be clean. And when it is pure then what Jeremiah calls the New Covenant operates with; full freedom and power. “This shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israql: after those days, saith the Lord,' I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.” (Jer. 31:33.) This sublime conception is the culminating idea in Jeremiah’s goppel. Note how harmonious it is with the teaching of Jesus. It is not quite on a level with the emphasis of the Master, because Jeremiah does not describe the method whereby this inward renewal is to be realized. But it is a striking anticipation nevertheless of the New Testament viewpoint. Another cardinal idea in Jeremiah’s message is the pain of God. He himself suffered terribly as he witnessed the sin, stupidity, and tragic fate of his people. Out of this bitter experience there dawned upon him a conviction that God, too, must agonize over a world gone grievously wrong. God, teaches Jeremiah, carries the woe and sin of men in His very heart. And this divine suffering is the guarantee of ultimate salvation. Here we have a wonderfully impressive fore shadowing of the message of the Cross. ■■ T7i-II ] I ■ n» III ■! .r II [ i« t y. - o •' WniT V Washlnftoa, Oot. ’ 16. (Auto- | .

Can the potato control law be enforced, and;if so what will be Its political effect? The first constitutional quea- tlon which the Supreme ^ Court will pass on in its glittering new white marble temple of Justice Is on the AAA. That Is on - the Court’s docket, a test case raised by a New England cotton mill, challenging the right of Congresa to impose a processing tax on cotton. The real question is not the right to tax but the right to allot the proceeds of the tax to benefit payments to the cotton groweVe, rather than turn the money into the Government’s gen eral revenues. Washington bet tors are offering odds that the Court will throw the processing tax out of the window. Also Before Court The other three questions, on which petitions for review are pending before the Court, con cern the constitutionality of the Bankhead cotton control law, the right of the Federal Government to take property by condemna tion proceedings for housing and slum-clearance programs, and the validity of the TVA s plan for selling electricity to municipali ties. Congress will meet again on January 3, and in the intervening three months it is expected that decisions will be handed down which may give the Senators and Representatives a lot of work tn do. War Proolninations With war between Italy and Ethiopia now an actuality. Presi dent Roosevelt has acted under the neutrality resolution with two proclamations. One of these lists all kinds of military sup plies and equipment, which A- mericans are forbidden to supply to either of the belligerents. The other is a solemn warning to all American citizens that if they travel on the ships of either of the nations at war or transact any business with those nations they do so at their own risk and our Government will not con cern itself it anything happens to them. Since Ethiopia has no ships, this merely means that Americans are warned against traveling on Italian ships. If the war involves no other nations it is quite possible noth ing of serious consequence to the United States will follow these proclamations. But if the League of Nations imposes economic sanctions against Italy, which means that no member of the League may legally carry on any trade in any commodity with that country, a tough question will he put up to the United States. W)e are not members of the League, and would not be bound by its act on. Undoubtedly great pressure will be brought by in dustrial and commercial interests to take advantage of the trade opportunity which would b e otfered. But if other nations und ertook to enforce the League’s sanctions by blockading Italian ports, it is easy fo imagine a situation existing which might bring the United States smack in to a lot of trouble. And don’t think the boys of the State De partment aren’t worried about that contingency. They arc. Polatocs .'\gain Potatoes are something else again. Secretary Wallace an nounced the other day that he wasn’t going to make any effort to enforce the potato control plan. It wasn't more than 24 hours ciftcr that before represen tatives of the big potato-growing states, chiefly Maine, idaho and Utah, descended upon the Agri cultural Department in a body. The embattled potato farmers de manded to know why they were n’t entitled to Government bene fits just as much as peanut grow ers and other agriculturalists. In whose interest the Government has been trying to raise the price of their products. T h e liveliest exchange o f threats and demands that has been heard in Washington for some months resulted. In the end Mr. Wallace said all right, he would do what he could to en force the potato law, although there wasn’t any money available to do the necessary policing of every potato patch in the nation. The best informed opinion In Washington is that the promised enforcement will be halfhearted and ineffective and that the po tato growers will try to stir up a lot of trouble for Mr. Wallace when Congress meets again. ’Ufi MWR VC He ’Em- Ilius MT ; IgOSHV 'W* ‘rtr -'"T: t\l A VilLD For the benefit of about 600 tobacco growers in Wilkes coun ty County Agent A. G. Hendren has requested the publication of a letter from J. B. Hutson, an AAA director, to tobacco farmers i „„ ,^nd urging that they not offer scrap | tobacco on the market this year. i The letter follows: i Reports that scrap tobacco has been sold this can be certified. This tobacco may be rendered unmerchantable by spreading it on the land and disc ing It In or' by mixing a sufficient quantity of lime with the tobacco. Scrap tobacco which growers cannot afford to sell may be used profitably for fertilizer on land which is not suited for tobacco. to be planted to tobacco might result in the spread of plant di seases which would cause serious . 1 losrss in succeeding crops, nor season by some | tobacco be used on contracting growers indicate that may also be used as an insecti cide for spraying poultry houses and similar uses, by boiling it and spraying with the extract. In order that growers may not unknowingly violate their con tract, your cooperation is request ed in getting the facts in this let ter to other contracting growers. If a person offers to buy scrap tobacco from you, his name and the license number on his truck should be obtained and turned over to the County Agent. Only one-third of the , or around seed beds.

Contracting grow- j truck crops. Such tobacco third uses their fingers, ers who sell scrap or any other tobacco this season for less than | ,5 cents per pound probably will' lose money by making the sale.) The reasons for this are as fol-1 lows: I (1) The contract provides that j all tobacco, including scrap, pro-1 diiced on and sold from the farm of a contractin.g grower must be I entered on allotment cards and 1 covered by tax-payment warrants | obtained from agents in tobacco warehoiiseB. (2) If a grower sells tobacco in excess of 85 percent of his base production, it will be neces sary for him to obtain more than 5 cents per pound in order to offset the reduction in the ad justment payment. (3) The sale of tobacco with out htvlng it covered by tax-pay ment warrants makes the grower liable for the return of all pay ments under his contract and the j value of the tax-payment war-! rants issued to him. I (4) A contracting grower with .unused allotment may be able to sell this allotment to another con tracting grower having excess production through the County Agent's office at 4 cents per pound. Before .selling the unused allot- ^ ment, the grower must sell all of | the tobacco produced under his | contract including low grade'W| scrap tobacco, retain a sufficient j portion of the allotment to sell all of such tobacco, or render the unsold tobacco unmerchantable. All scrap tobacco which is not sold must be rendered unmer chantable before compliance with the provisions of the contract world One- f^ONT take chances with an old r old roof when it is so easy to have Careystone applied right over it.
