In short. Washington’s attitude toward the
life of an American in the war area is that of the
restaurant management toward his overcoat.—
Springfield (Mass.) Union.
Setting An Example
The management and employes of the
Wilkes Hosiery Mills set an example when
they enrolled in the American Red Ooss
100 per cent strong. This fact is all the
more remarkable when we consider that
there are approximately 550 employes.
National headquarters have distributed
this bit of news nationally and especially
in North Caroling ^ an inspiration to
other Red Cross chapters.

Land Grabbing Again
Here of late we have been reading about
Japan helping to set up an independent
nation in North China.
Although all that is going on on the op
posite side of this terristial ball we can
not help but gain the impression that
Japan is land grabbing again as it did in
the Manchurian squabble.
There are three nations that the eyes
of the other nations are looking at with
disdain, these being Japan, Germany and
Italy, the three nations that are still pay
ing major attention to preparations for
war and conquest.
Two Roads Needed
Now that work is under way on high
way 16, it is time that we turn our atten
tion to working in a movement to have
two other important roads in Wilkes coun-
structed.
The two roads to which we refer and
which have been started on the other end
are the North W'ilkesboro-Elkin road and
the Wilkesboro-Statesville road.
The Statesville road has l>een construct
ed to the Wilkes-Iredell line and the sev
eral communities between th road’s inter
section with highway 60 and the Iredell
county line are still in need of a highway,
IKS well as the need for a shorter direct
route to Statesville from this section.
The North Wilkesboi-o-Elkin highway
has been constructed from Elkin to Ronda
and the communities between Ronda and
North Wilke.sboro are hoping for early
completion of the remainder of the route.
Vl’e feel assured that the state highway
oommission will (complete the roads as
soon as it can get around to them, never
theless, we should not let them forget
how badly Wilkes county needs these
roads to complete the original county
seat-to-county seat system.
Christmas Seals «
The rig^t of z?.',’ organization to exist
depends upon whether or not it renders
a needed serv'ic to the community in which
it is located.
Time after time the Woman’.s Clulaj of
North Wilkesboro and WUkesboro have
rendered commendable services in vari
ous activities and with the advent of the
holiday season comes the announcement
that the organizations are to again spon
sor the sale of Christmas seals in a fight
for less disease and better health.
Seventy-five per cent of the funds de
rived from the sale of seals is used in the
county where the sales are made. In re
cent years the sale of seals by the Wom
an’s Clubs has financed the installation of
a heating plant at the county tubercular
hospital, helped provide comforts for the
patients, purchased milk for underprivi
leged un.demoi|Wshed children in the
schools and IjM rendered other valuable
services in interest and successful
fight agai^-tuberculosis.
TTie Jownal-Patriot hastens to advo-
tate the ^ying of Christmas seals from
that sp»e. They are very inexpensive

ynemplojrment, ^
, . The unanpkjyinent compensation'pro-'
visions of the federal social security act
will begin to take effect in a few weeks.
Beginning January 1,1986, in some stetes
every employer of eight or more p^oiw
must pay a federal tax of one per cent of
his payroll for next year, 2 per cent in
1987 and 3 per cent thereafter. The pro
ceeds of these taxes are to be usd to pay
workers when unemployed. The admin
istration of the unemployment insurance
is left to the states, which are expected
to set up their own systems. Employers
who pay unemployment taxes to their
state governments can get credit at
Washington, in paying their federal un
employment taxes, for 90 per cent of
such payments.
Only eight states and the District of
Columbia have set up “job insurance"
systems thus far. fhe states are Ala
bama, California, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New York, Utah, Washington
and Wisconsin.
Unemployment benefits—at* least from
the federal fund—are not to begin until
1938. Then persons thrown out of work
from no fault of their own will be able to
collect half-pay, or thereabouts, for a
period of thirteen to twenty weeks, vary
ing from state to state.
A maximum of $15 a week for unem
ployment compensation is provided in
most of the states so far; Utah has an
$18 maximum. And in all of them, the
compensation will not begin until the
beneficiary has been olit of work for a
period which ranges from three to six
weeks.
This unemployment insurance will, be
yond doubt, become a permanent and gen
eral system as soon as the rest of the
state legislatures can get around to en
acting laws of the same general nature.
It does not apply to farm labor, domestic
workers, men employed on ships, employes
of charitable or non-profit enteiprises,
nor those who work for national or state
governments or their political subdivis
ions. In the nature of things, we may ex
pect a demand to arise for the inclusion
of all of those classes of workers.

employment and continued good business.

Holiday Trade Prospects
Every I'eport that comes from business
centers indicates that the holiday trade
this year is going to be the greatest since
1929 and in some parts of the country
greatest in all time.
These reports are indicative of improv
ed business conditions, higher payrolls,
less unemployed and a greater feeling of
confidence among the people who hake up
that ho.st known as the buying public.
Knowing that prospects for holiday
trade are good the enterprising business
firms of this city will use every effort to
make December 1935 the best year in
history.
A thriving trade uses products of in-
Hfe'come imaware, or
without preparation.
I notice a write-up in one of
our neighboring city magazines
as to the bad effect that sign
board was causing but I notice
he did not say anything about
■some other signs that carry the
forms of half and even more than
half nude women advertising the
works of the Evil one, but when
a God fearing and a God serving
Christian lady who was led by
the Holy Spirit to warn the way
ward to -think she is criticised
for her Godly effort, and in so
much that the sign has been re
moved, but don’t you know each
will get their reward.
Well, anyway the scripture is
merely fulfilling the Cross of
Christ to the Greek is foolish
ness and to the Jew a stumbling
block.
It seems as if it is allright to
do anything for a commercial
purpose. I again say aaythlng,
but it seems in the eyes of some
an awful thing to warn wayward
men and women, boys and girls
of the dangers ahead, spiritual
ly speaking.
It that sign board, while it
stood at the entrance to North
'Wilkesboro ever caused one wan
derer to pause and think serious
ly on the Motto that it was placed
there for, the good lady that had
it put there at the cost to her of
$•1.00 will not have spent it in
vain, hut I would hate, at the
time when the hidden domes to
light and all accounts are settl
ed, be the one to answer for tak
ing down that warning sign.

death.

THERE ARE NO SAFER BRAKES MADE
than the Super-Safety Brakes of the 1936 Ford V-8
I.esson for December 1st; Ezra 7-6-10: Golden
Teixt, Ezra 8:22.
The historical value of the book of Ezra is
very great for it is the principal source for our
knowledge of that significant period in history
of the Hebrew people from their original return
from Babylon to their fatherland to the arrival
at Jerusalem of a second band of exiles under
Ezra. Here we read of the glorious fulfillment
of the prophetic pradictlon thftl thi exiles would
be restored to their own dear country after 60
years. We watch the people as they build their
Second Temple, and note their intense devotion
to the Mosiac law which Ezra read to them so
effectively. And we rejoice in Ezra himself, a
true patriot, deeply devoted to God, active in
good works.
While not one of the most appealing charac
ters in the Bible, Ezra’s emphasis upon the law,
and his burning zeal to have it loyally obeyed,
is to be heartily commended in the undiscipCn-
ed America of today. For we have the reputa
tion of being the most lawless folk in the world.
One out of every 42 persons, by a conservative
estimate, in these United States has a criminal
record. And there are 10,000 public enemies
whose capture is only possible by armed men.
Many of these are young men. In fact, it is a
sad commentary on our nurture of youth that
20 per cent of all the crimes in America are
committed by persons of 20 years and less. And
we must abandon the foolish notion that most
of our crime can be laid at the door of aliens.
A careful check shows that the white American
criminals exceed by 47 per cent the foreign-
bom. And we must not forget that some of
our most dangerous anti-social foes are women.
With such a record it is high time we considered
the basic necessity of law and law observance,
W^j^lksni now alive he could render a real
^rvied ^ setting.

Radius rods [I] brace the front
axle like a pair of giant arms.
Radius rods and Torque-tube [2]
give triple bracing to the rear
axle. This means that the front
and rear axles of a Ford car are al
ways held equi-dlstant—in perfect
alignment. On this permanent
wheelbase any braking system now
In common use could be used. Only
with this Ford-type wheelbase, can
mechanical. Super-Safety brakes

Fo-'jr brake-rods [*] of strong,
tempered steel link the pressure of
your foot on the pedal with the four
big brake-drums on the wheds.
They do this positively, surely,
under ail road' conditions. Note
fffIM»ri«lly that no one Ford brake
has to depend on the other three.
Failure of one—practically Impos

Tear out this chart and check It*
with the car you are driving now.
N O other car in America has the same

of this design, the Ford could use any
type of braking system now in common
use. (Diagram at lejt shows why.)
With the whole field to choose from.
Ford stands by mechanically-operated
Super-Safety brakes as safest, surest, and
most positive for the Ford V-8.
This is the type braking system used
on many of America’s costliest cars and
most racing cars. Because of unique
chassis design. Ford can use it to better
effect than any other car built today.
All in all, no safer brakes are made
than you get with the 1936 Ford V-8i
Drive it today-and see for yourself.
