G.. aa second class matter under Act 9t MkA 4, 1879. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1935 - Not Easy To Keep Licenses to drive an automobile may not have been difficult to obtain, but the 1935 legislature laid down provisions that are going to make driving licenses hard to keep by those who play loosely with the laws governing the use of a motor vehicle. The law is stringent in that a license can be revoked before conviction in the courts for manslaughter, negligent homi cide, driving while drunk, commission of a felony in w’ ich an automobile is used, failure to sb"^ and render aid in accidents, perjury in making out application to de partment of revenue, being involved in accident resulting in death or serious property damage, being habitually reck less, incompetent to drive, habitual vio lator of traffic laws or fraudulent use of license. The rejuvenated highway patrol faces a big task in enforcing this law and has a great opportunity to prove its worth to the state of North Carolina. By impar tially enforcing the license law the patrol can render a great service to the state it serves. If it fails in this it will be writ ing its own fate in its own handwriting. North Carolina set a new high record in automobile fatalities last month. The license law had not gone into effect. It is working now but much time will elapse before the dangerous drivers can be culled by means of revoking their licenses. ^ The Community Following is an editorial which appear ed in the November issue of “Youth,” prepared by the National Youth Adminis tration for North Carolina. Its principles will fit the needs of any community: Social opportunity, unlike ordinary op portunity, knocks at our door every day. Never a day passes but that we could, by the application of group intelligence and understanding, help m the progressive so lution of social problems. The misunderstanding which exists sometimes between “youth” and “age” is as senseless as it is age-old. “Age” con fronted with new responsibilities, with the competitive emphasis of modeiTi life, be comes intolerant of the vagaries of youth, which seem to threaten the very shaky hold which “age' has on the means of livelihood. “Youth,” enthusiastic, spon taneous, filled with expansive dreams, the realization of which, often, would give us a new world, beats its collective head against the checks and bahmces of con ventions which are frequently incompre hensible, and institutions which it has not helped to form. But social opportunity knocks again at the door of North Carolina. The call to day is to pour into every community’s life the high, untainted enthusiasm of youth and the matured counsel of adulthood. “Shared living” is the need of the hour. Invectives, epithets, condemnatory arti cles, all these do the cause no good. Every community today in North Caro lina faces an unparalleled opportunity. It is the opportunity to mobilize existing so cial resources, educational, cultural, recre ational, for the widest use in the com munity; to create resources where they are needed and to accept the contributions which every group, of whatever age, has to make to the total community life. Wasn’t it Macauley who said that every form of government has within it a de structive cankerworm which if not watch ed would ultimately rise up to destroy? It is as true that in every society there is the possibility of social advance. Some times it languishes and almost disappears; but it is alway there. It can always grow. The general of Wng ago, fighting what he thought was a l^ing battle, said to his drummer boy, a retreat.” The boy learned to beat a re charge!” He did tft^^ttle was won. everJ ^ ® answered, treat, but I beat a We need [‘ebarge! ■iipip ‘Civilizatioii*B Symbol’r’^ The ann^ IMl Call of the Red Cross is under way. Its banner, the red cross on a wihite field, has been aptly termed *^vi- lization’s Symbol.” First used as a warn ing flag in war, it hfui become the em blem under ^ich the armies of pence are enlisted in the never-ending warfare "on disease and disaster in civil life. It is a banner imder which every citi zen should enroll. To display the Red Cross emblem in the window is evidence that those who dwell in that house do not live for themselves alone, but are sharing the burden of caring for the afflicted. The record of the Red Cross comes as near to being a record of unselfish hu- .Tuinitarianism as can be found anywhere. Whether it be the emergency created by a major disaster, such as fire, flood, ship wreck or tornado, or the more prosaic work of safeguarding public health, pro ducing garments for the poor and needy, printing books for the blind, or any of the scores of other helpful services which the Red Cross constantly renders, it must at all times be prepared to meet the calls upon it. Its funds come from the volun tary contributions of all the people. The Annual Roll Call gives every citizen an opportunity to show his patriotism in the broadest and truest sense. In giving to the Red Cross, one gives to the service of all mankind. Borrowed Comment CROWDS, CROWDS (Cleveland Star) People enjoy gathering in crowds. Whenever you pick up your favorite newspaper you see new crowd records established. Forty thousand- gathered at the Duke-Carolina football gaipe Saturday, many going not so much to see the game, but other faces. It was the largest gath ering of football fans ever recorded in the southeast. • Recently it was reported that 450,000 visited the Smoky Mountain Park during the summer season. Another stream off on vacation, en couraged by the federal gfovemment’s shorter work week to go places and see things. Editor and Publisher makes this observation: “At Columbus last Saturday some 70,000 peo ple packed the stadium for a contest that had a nation-wide army of volunteer press agents. “No battle of the World War and mighty few disasters, no regal coronation or presidential in auguration has received greater newspaper dis play than did Notre Dame and the Ohio State home boys in The Dispatch and The Citizen last Saturday afternoon. The former devoted 37 columns, with some ingenious news picture hunches, to prodding an early insane public’s in terest. “Sunday’s paper in many cities were equally generous in their word and picture chronicles of the Saturday combats. Before us lies the Syra cuse Herald, with 40 columns monopolized by football. Two pictures one four and one six columns, with a single-column cut of a local hero, illustrate the Ssrracuse-Penn State story on page one of the sports section. More of the same on page two, and a wirephoto diagram of the Ohio State game on page three. Two pages of well-selected football pictures follow, many of them by wirephoto. “.\t any rate, the football figures, and the sta tistics released by the tycoons at the New York Automobile show and a million-dollar gate for a non-championship prize fight, and the pros perity of the liquor trade—all indicate that the public has plenty of money to spend for a good time. Maybe thrift isn’t a virtue after all.” Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN HiKWedcln HAGGAI AND ZECHARIAH Lesson for November 24th; Haggai 1 and 2; Golden Text, Psalm 122:1. For 16 years no successful effort wtis made by the exiles w'ho returned from captivity to rebuild the ruined temple in Jerusalem. Glad as these home-sick Jews were to get back to their fatherland, they faced a burdensome strug gle for the mere necessities of existence. Not only were they few in number and devoid of w-ealth, but they had also to contend with drought and a consequent failu of crops. Such a set-back naturally adversely affected their morale. It seemed as if God had forsaken them in anger. But fortunately, at this criti cal juncture, the prophet Haggai, who com bined genuine enthusiasm with unusual common sense, aroused them from their lethargy by the summons to work for the Lord. “It is true,” said he, “that God has not yet come to His cjty. But how can He live with His people if they provide no dwelling for Him? Gird vp your loins, assemble the stone and mortar, erect the temple, and all will be well." Stirred by Haggi’s imperative summons, the people at once set to work under the leadership of Zerubbabel, their governor, and Joshua the high priest. How appealing to the imagination is that September day when the foundation was laid! ,We can see witn the mind’s eye the ardent face of the prophet as he bids the people to re member wrell this day, assuring them that the Lord is with them in their noble effort. Al though not one of the great prophets, he ren dered a splendid service, at a critical time, dis playing marked initiative and practical skill. As a result of his direct, plain, but pointed speech the temple, the symbol of Israel’s religious unity and purity, soon rose in impressive beauty, even though it could not match the grandeur of Solomon’s creation. Credit, too, must be given to the prophet Zechariah who aided Haggai in this rebnilding of the House of God. ■ '"r .Washtixton, Not. 18. (A«to- eaister)—Both the 'triead» and the foes of the AdSitalatnUtoit profess to find satlsfactloa in the results of the recent local elec tions in different parts of the United States. A good deal de pends on the point of view, but the more seriousmlnded among the President’s advisers look on the record of the vote.as sound ing at least a warning note. The reputation of Postmaster General Farley as a political strategist suffered somewhat of a setback. He injected the New Deal Issue Into the New York legislative campaign, and that enable Republicans to chortle ov er regaining control of the State Assembly. Since the assembly has been Republican for 35 years, except for the three Democratic “landslide’’ elections of 1910, 1912, and 1934, this year’s re sult was merely a return to norm al, and would have attracted lit tle attention If Mr. Farley had not chosen to make an Adminis tration issue of it. His only con solation is that the total Demo cratic vote cast In the State was 370,000 more than the Republi can vote, the majority being most ly in New York Olty, where Tam many elected two Congressmen to fill vacancies. Here and 'There Not much significance is at tached here to the defeat 6f the Republican candidate for Gov ernor in the normally Democrat ic state of Kentucky. Over In the New England states, the political wiseacres find evidence that the New Deal is losing ground, in the loss to the Democrats of many municipal offices, and par ticularly in the result of the Mayoralty election in Philadel phia. There were many New Dealers who were sure that the G. O. P. was dead in its princi pal stronghold, the Common wealth of Pennsylvania. But In the State-wide vote on the judi ciary ticket, the Republicans were victorious. Political o'pinion here is set tling down to the belief that it is upon the Solid South and the Agrarian West that Mr. Roose velt must rely for reelection. That is one reason why the Dem ocratic leaders are concerned ov er the rising popularity of Gov ernor Alf Landon of Kansas as a Republican Presidential possi bility. Admitting that it will be a struggle to carry any of the states east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio, they do not like the prospect of having to go up a- gainst a candidate who would be practically certain of carrying Kansas, his home state, and whose chance in all the rest of the Missouri Valley states would be better than that of anyone else so far put forward by any Republican group entitled to seri ous consideration. Gos.sip of G. O. P. Dark Horse inside gossip in Republican circles is that there is an under cover" candilate being groomed for the party's nomination in 1936, just as Senator Warren G. Harding was held under cover as a last-minute surprise candidate in 1920. The gossips say that Senator L. J. Dickinson of Iowa has pledges of support from twen ty or so members of the Repub lican National Committee, and that all over the country party "regulars’’ are being lined up for him. Stranger things have hap pened in politics. Senator Dickinson’s record Is clean and clear. Geographically he comes from a pivotal state in the heart of the most debatable ground in the whole nation, and those who know him best say that he has all the qualities of personality and -political sagacity which the Opposition candidate of next year, whoever he may be, must have. Senator Dickinson was temporary chairman of the l^st Republican National Convention. Senators and Representatives are beginning to trickle back to Washington, moat of them bring ing somewhat revised ideas of what the folks back home are thinking and what they want. Expressions -by many of these to their Washington Intlmatee are taken to indicate that Congress, which will convene in only a little more than a month, will sho'w more inclination to tell the President what he ought to do, than to let him tell them. The outlook Is for strong reslsta'ice to any additional reform legisla tion, and a strong determination to put through a bonus bill. Congress Again Soon If the temper of Congress can be gauged by the talk curently beard, there Isn’t a chance of a new "NRA” bill, nor a 30-hour- week law, In spite of the pressure that will be exerted by the Labor lobby for both of those measures. Likewise, the reports of return ing members from the Farm Belt, so far, are that there Isn’t enough public sentiment behind the Frazier-Lemke farm mortg age greenback bill to warrant a fight for It. ■ - J" ' ■ Hunting Seasem^Hmts ^ A.

Mansfield, Jr.,—a Providence, R. L, counter man, and the 15-year-uld girl he mar ried in a "proxy” wedding last June—were indicted today by a Bristol county grand Jury. Mrs. Mansfield, who has as serted she went through the ceremony in return for her 22- year-old husband’s unfulfilled promise of f5, was accused with him of causing a false intention of marriage to be issued. Mansfield also was charged with perjury. Mansfield, District Attorney William C. Crossley said, hoped through the "proxy” marriage to become legally wedded to 15- year-old Besta Jean Isherwood, Nantucket school girl, whom he had met while spending summers at Nantucket and to whom he allegedly described himself as a "G’’ man. Crossley said Mansfield per suaded Gloria Rego, of Provi dence, to "stand up with him” at a wedding in Seekonk, Mass., town hall with the understanding she would not be further Invdlv- ed. Instead. Miss Rego soon found herself very much involved. She already is on probation from Taunton district court in connection with the marriage while Mansfield has been at lib erty under bail pending today’s action. Both girls appeared be fore the grand jury. LEADEBSHIP / 0f On October 31 oi lost Henry Ford announced Big intention to build o miUion Ford V-8s in 1935.
