MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1936 Now we know why they call ’em baby bonds —because every baby in the land is going to have to help pay for ’em some day.—Columbus llispatch. Mussolini is understood to desire greatly peace on earth. Indications are that he has the ex act piece in mind, tcKW—Norfolk Ledger-Dis patch. When and if the Towasend plan becomes ef fective a lot of young people will begin charging their parents for board.—Philadelphia EJvening Bulletin. The State wants to know what plans the major parties have for paying back the huge indebtedness that has piled up during the past few years. The most popular plan would be levying taxes on the other fellow. WUIf^e United Stfites ly the country in the, world, a few observations regarding cohditibna in other countries particularly the Britoh empire, should do us good.' " King George V was a beloved ruler of England. He was asking with a democratic spirit and was loved by practically all the people in the empire. His successor appears to be made from the same mould. But this is not the point of this com ment. We merely Wish to observe that when the king became 111 thousands waited with bated breath for news of his condition. Anxiety was felt by the aristocracy and the lowly throughout Great Britain. The .question is. Why were they so interested in their king, who has but little power of government? It is because that in the empire, and especially England, there is a great re spect for constituted authority. The people feel a deep sense of duty to abide by the laws of their country. Crime is at a minimum and atrocious crimes that are / commonplace in this country are the exception there where practically every murderer is brought to justice. It is true that Scotland Yard is very effective as a law enforcement agency, but much of their success as of ficers no doubt can be traced to respect for law and support of public sentiment among the people. There is little sym pathy for the criminal among the popu lation of the empire. A Public Library North Wilkesboro is one of the few progressive cities its size that does not have a public library. The main problem in securing a pub lic library is getting one started and se curing quarters. After that the prob lem is not so complex. The state li brary commission will loan books to public libraries for a period of several months and almost every home has some good book to donate if interest was at the proper pitch. Rental libraries from which fiction books are loaned for a fee are a great convenience to readers. ited to the most popular fiction. Bruce- BARTON Street Repair Essential Mayor McNeil was successful in get ting the state highway commission to allot $2,500 for street repairs in North Wilkesboro. Recently we inquired to know what had been done by the state and learned that a very few holes in some of the as phalt surfaces had been repaired by state forces. This leads us to wonder if that was considered $2,500 worth of work. We do not know whether or not the expenditure of this money must be on state highways leading through the city, but one can see that there is much work needing to be done on the .streets over which highways are routed and still more on other streets in the business and residential sections. Street repair is essential, lest we be forced at some date not in the distant future to resurface some of our thoroughfares and thereby lose a portion of the large sum already invested in paved streets. Recreational Facilities One of the results of the newly created recreational project by the works prog ress administration should be to inform us of how badly we need recreational facilities. North Wilkesboro does not have a municipal playground or a park. These facilities are badly needed for the chil dren to keep them from playing in the streets. Industrial workers h ive no recreation al facilities- there being no municipal tennis courts, volley ball courts, basket ball courts. It has been suggested that a project calling for construction of tennis courts on the fairgrounds should have been included in the PWA or WPA programs for Wilkes county. Unfortunately the city has no Y. M. C. A. Those who have lived in larger cities and enjoyed membership in such an organization can know their benefits in developing character and physical fitness. With the meagre facilities donated or otherwise obtained, the recreational project should stimulate enough interest to riww us how badly we need some we do not have. DANCING ALARMS RUSSIA A new danger is threatening the noble Bus- .sian eieperiment. Insidious enemies are seeking to undermine Communism by encouraging the young people to go in for the tango, the rumba, and the foxtrot. “Not only our youth, but our workers are be ing corrupted by these dancing teachers,” says a Communist writer in Moscow. “It is impos sible As-^totrot and be a good Communist. We -'Cannot that nil this i^ of spontaneous origin. Ba^ of it^^ere must be an organized movement which Is intended to bring a glorious chapter of history to a disgraceful close.” The fears of this Communistic writer are well founded. Dancing leads to laughter, and no where in the world is a politician who does not t.'emblc when he hears a hearty laugh. Can yju possibly imagine a drearier lot of human be ings than the solemn faced leaders of the So viet? Is it conceivable that Hitler ever .sees a joke? Or that the augfust front of Mussolini could heave and quake in the throes of a belly-laugh? ALso, young people at a dance are acutely consci ous of the unequal distri bution of sex-appeal. Look in on any dancing party and you discover something which must be very disturbing to the Soviet mind—a few girls with .a dozen young men around them., and dozens of gprls with none. The Soviet has sought to level down sex-ap peal by putting the women into ugly costumes and making them as homely as possible. But once let the pretty girls make themselves up fancy, and right away the competitive spirit breaks out like measles all over the boys. The smarter ones immediately want to make more money in order l-> outdo their rivals. Indeed, the principal proa of capitalism is the desire of a man to make more money so that he may get the girl he wants and give her more after he gets her. By all means let Stalin stop this business of dancing and laughter. And dancing presently will suggrest to the minds of youth that the Five Year Plan is not nearly so important as the Bruce Barton Plan for Tonight.

"We look back over 1935 with a feeling that real constructive steps have been taken and some progressive accomplishments car ried out toward the end that the reeources of North Carolina serve the Interests of the people to the highest degree. In no small measure, the press of the state has contributed to whatever suc cess has been attained. Always generous in extending Us facili ties for the common good, the newspapers of the state have been particularly helpful In awakening the public consciousness to the fact that products of nature should be so utilized as to assure the replacement of those which are exhaustible and to obtain the maximum benefit from the purely extractive. “With the same degree of co operation manifested by the press in the past, we look forward with the hope that still more con structive results may be accom plished in the future. It is my privilege to extend to you the facilities of the department of conservation and development and I trust you will offer freely any suggestion for increased serv ice on our part.” ConMy,' M ponsdn IQr vTOOKig T ri wtlnnt kero ^ wnlnnt kemeb from ooi^ ti i MnU « pound and wyn >!^S^ enek wmIniiti,from alii OB kin fiorm next tuO.

The deep cross bars of tough rubber are scientifically placed to give extra traction in mud, snow, sand and loose ground. In addition the tread is self-cleaning. When you equip with Ground Grip tires you save the cost of chains, the tronble of putting them on and taking them off and the extra tire wear the chains cause. Come in today and equip your car or truck. Put on a set of these tires now and forget about traction worries. firestone GROUND GRIP TIRI FOR CARS Hwry 0$tf 4.40/4.M/4.7S-21 0TM 4.7V5.00-19. •.»• 4.tO/4.7V)XM>.ZO ajf 5JJ/5.J0.17 1*.H 09m tarn tarn tXef j| FOR TRUCKS || I 52m6 ian.M U UM B ■ &^20._ Oair tkai rnpOftHMWylM Usttn to tbe Voice 4 Margaret Speaks, fAendaj evtntngs over Natiomvtde NS£,—W'EAP {Network CENTRAL SERVICE STATION.

The Goodwill Store THE FAST, FAST YEARS An unknown, slender young fellow set an air plane down at the flying leld near Paris, and said: “I am Charles Lindbergh.” Calvin Coolidge was in the White House. New highs were being recorded dailiy in the stock market Model T Fords out-numbered other cars on the roads. People were flocking to Florida to make for tunes. Stream-lined and air-conditioned trains were unknown, and some of the smartest motion pic ture men were sure tliat the "talkies” never would amount to anything. Hardly any one heard of Rex Tugwell or General Hugh Johnson or Huey Long or Father Coughlin. If at this period you had predicted the im minence of the nation’s worst period of depres sion, the collapse of thousands of banks, the abandonment of the gold standard or the ap pearance of J. P. Morgan with a circus midget on his lap, you would have been regarded as a fit subject for pathological observation. From all the above you may suspect that the writer has been fiddling around with a newspa per nearly ten years old, and you are correct. It is an interesting experience, once in a while, but as a daily habit it would be depressing. One is reminded too vividly of the rapid fli^t of time.
