Consuming Food In his address in Atlanta, President Roosevelt said: “National surveys prove tiiat the average of our citizenship lives today on what would be called by the med ical fraternity a third-class diet. If the country lived on a second-rate diet, we would need to put many more acres than we use today into the production of food stuffs for domestic consumption. If the nation lived on a first-class diet, we would have to put more acres than we ever have cultivated into the production of an ad ditional supply of things for Americans to eat.” This discussion of eatablej contains lot of food for thought. Although no one in the country is starving to death, the peo ple of America could gladly eat more and better food if the purchasing power and means of distribution were favorable. The War On Tuberculosi* Are you putting Christmas Seals on all your ChristmaspMkag^ this year? Those gay little red-and-green emblems, which cost only a penny apiece, are the means by which money is raised to carry on the nation-wide fight against the most insidi ous of all the plagues that afflict human kind, tuberculosis, the “great white plague.” It is to saving children that the work of the National Tuberculosis Association and its state and county branches is es pecially directed. Medical science has made great strides in its battle against disease, and the control, if not the cure, of tuber culosis is one of its triumphs. Yet every year more children die of this disease than from any other one cause. The cent you spend for a gay Christmas Seal to stick on your Christmas mail may help to save a baby’s life. “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my children, ye have done it unto me.” Hauptmann Case Closing When the supreme court of the United States refused to review the case of Bruno Hauptmann, convicted and sentenced to death for the kidnaping and murder of the Lindbergh child, the famous case was brought a step nearer its close. There are many people throughout the country who feared that his trial was more of a circus than a bar of justice and that the notoriety of the case had much to do with his conviction and sentence. But it will appear from the records that the state of New Jersey really did get a strong case against Hauptmann and that his conviction is amply backed up by evi dence. 'The highest court’s refusal to re view the case bears out these facts. The kidnaping racket, practiced more or less through the ages, really did not take on alarming proportions in this coun try until the Lindbergh kidnaping was perpetuated and jme guilty party appar ently secure in escape. But there was a slip and today,Hauptmann awaits execu- tion. Nevertheless the racket goes on, but and conviction of Haupt- \ve a deterring eff^on crim- tiielaod.c^ i. -., sorely, DepKnuilile SitaiBoii We Uuivu known fmr inaaiy months that trafSc in North" Wilkesboiro ii quite a prc^lem but few of os ^reali^ how seriously it was until a highway en gineer appeared before the dty commis sioners to enter a formal complaint about Tenth street, over which a federal and state highway are routed. It is a fact that traffic is often con gested on Tenth street and on .other streets of the city, especially on Satur days. This condition, you can be assured is noticed by those who pass through the city and we vditure to assert that the im pressions gained are not always favorable « ' and do not speak well for the city. We do not mind visitors gaining the im pression that NorUi Wilkesboro is a busy place, which it is. But it would be better if they were impressed with the activity together with orderliness. We are too often prone to abuse our privileges but unless the traffic situation shows signs of great improv^ent, city officials will necessarily have to enforce stringent regulations, especially as to parking automobiles and trucks. America Ahead In The Air The great American flying boat, ‘Qiina Clipper,” has opened the new trans-Pa- cific air service, between the United States, the Philippine Islands, and China. Plans for a regular air service across the North At’antic are under way, while the flying boats of our own Pan-American Airways are running on regular schedules, carrying passengers and mail between North and South America. We hear if every airplane accident, and fail to realize that few of these occur on regular scheduled air line flights. Most of the fatalities in American aviation in the year just ending have been in accidents to private planes or those of the Army and Navy, or in test flights of newly-de signed machines. Only eight airline passengers, the rec ords show, were killed in the past year, in some 50 million miles of flying. Considering how young the whole art of flying is—less than thirty years—and that commercial aviation has been devel oped only since the war, it would seem that the airplane has already reached a point of safety far greater than that which the railroads reached in the same num ber of years. As air travel increases, rates will come down. Even novr the cost of flying is not so much higher than the cost of rail trav el as to be an excessive price to pay for the time saved. Americans do more flying than the peo ple of any other nation. American air lines now link America to Asia. Let us hope they will soon bring Europe so close that we can hop to London or Paris over the week-end. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN EZRA TEACHING THE LAW OF GOD Lesson for December 15th, Nehemiah 8: Golden Text, Psalm 119-11 The picture of Ezra standing on a wooden platform, especially built for the occasion, in the open space before the water gate and reading God’s law to an attentive audience from an early hour in the morning until noon, is the most at tractive. It reminds us of the perennial appeal of the Holy Scriptures. This year marks the 400th anniversary of the first complete printed edition of the English Bible. The appearance of this historic volume has been aptly called “the most important event in the cultural history of the English-speaking world.” Such a significant milestone can best be cele brated by a renewal of our interest in this Book of Life. Let us read it again with that noble de votion displayed by Ezra long ago, knowing full well, as Charles A. Dana, the great journalist, once said, that there is no book “which yo ’ open with such confidence and lay down with such reverence." Four methods of study are helpful. In the first place, we can acquaint ourselves with the Bible by reading its individual books. Consider the Psalms. Gladstone once declared that all the marvels of Greek civilization piled together are less impressive than the simple collection of the Psalms. Secondly, we can follow the development of the central ideas of the Bible. Take its most important concept, that of God. Here we pass from the primitive notion of the Eternal as a glorified man to the New Testament doctrine of a spiritual Presence. Then we can study the varied characters of the sacred record. The Scriptures furnish us with the finest portrait gallery in the world. Finally, we can enjoy the beauty spots of the Bible of which there are so many. Beginning perhaps with the Sermon on the Mount, we can continue with the great parables of Jesus, and • then pass ^ the Psalms, the prophetic visions,, and other^lmpressivo hi|^rtit>- - Koarinf Rivw;, 2 ROARINO RIVER, Route S, Dec. 10.—R^.
