Kve on the more important secon- li^ roads are going to expect a more permanent type of road work from the state before another winter sets in. These people deserve all the consid eration that state highway funds can afford and we shall watch with interest developments along this line during the spring and sunimer. The Alien Problem Senate Bob^Reynolds^has introduced a measure in congrete designed to ma- b^ny curb^ ^"migration and deport atimi criminals..) ■ Som#^writers who claim to be on the inside bn “^me questions claim that many foreigners have reached this coun try one way or another because of the way the needy are cared for by relief or jobs at public expense> and that the situf^on appears lucrative to them. Perhaps ' closing the doors to immi gration too closely would not be morally right, but this country cannot be held morally responsible for keeping out a lot of thugs who would enter this coun try, prey upon public funds through the guise of being destitute and in need of relief to keep them starving, and at the same time live a life of crime or stir up trouble through communistic doctrine. The Reynolds bill, among other things, would provide for registrar aiul fingerprinting of all later be ^(j^tte'^''.prompt and mandatory, de portation of criminal aliens to their mother countries, admitting only intel ligent foreigners, bar communists 'and revolutionaries, and deportaticA of pau per aliens. There are many phases of this bill which will appeal to the American peo ple, and especially to the. laboring class, some of whom have been jobless be cause of the influx of aliens who, be cause of their low standard of living, can exist on much less money than the true blooded American. Respect For Law The Washington Herald says that re spect for law in this country is on the upgrade. The law abiding citizen says: “It is about time." Respect for law and order is on the upgrade in the United States. At least, the federal criminal statutes are heartily feared and respected by the gangsters and gunmen who have been wont to flee from state to state, laugh ing over their shoulders at frustrated police and fixing politicians whenever they are arraigned in court. Kidnaping is the most dangerous crime of the times and no professional criminal today will have a part in one knowingly. Credit for the improved state of law enforcement is due to the work of the federal bureau of investigation of the department of justice, and to John Ed gar Hoover, director of the bureau. Hoover, personally, and his special agents, as a body, have performed per haps the most patriotic act of the dec ade in taking guns in hand to preserve the safety and livelihood of citizens by means of law enforcement. As we have pointed out before, G-men are selected on the basis of ability and training. Political patronage and sub terfuge do not enter this part of the government. The result of this system is success. The states and counties could very easily follow this example. In enlarging and reorganizing the state highway patrol a school was held for api^cants, and we presume that the most worthy ones were given the Bjobs. On our vast system of highways and roads the patrol can became a truly ^ beneficial and efficient law enforcement agency. It* fate lies in its own hands and the people will judge its success or failure. t ; : . f'— ■ * on on ht imS* c con- maUng some kind oi ^on Mfflttahody, appreciate ^e provement that is noticed ini| ditions to this city C We can guage by the nuftiber of horns blowing and the volume of noise being made just how badly traffic be comes jammed on the streets of North Wlkesboro on busy days.

THERE ARE OTHER WPRU>S . -oH,:!9rr.2 o*rJ!rw A man who has made .some money without work, and therefore thinks he knows everytUng. was recently delivering Umself on the subject of religion. He dismissed the idea of immor tality as mere superstition, the yearning of children afraid of the dark. “Of course, there is no other world,” he said. To which a friend responded quietly: "You yourself have already been a resident of anoth er and very different world. The world in which we now have our existence is a world of alternating periods of sunlight and dark; it is a world wherein human beings draw air into their lungs and expel it. eat and drink through their mouths, and walk around on their own legs. For nine months you liv ed inside your mother’s body, in a world where there was no light, no air, where no ' nourishment reached you tiirongfa your nmotb and , ,ifpre , moved :abo«t bn' other R^ ifcan ydnr own. 'Op pose an embryo were ^dowod with intelligence and imagination. ' How could it. ever form any notion of this outside world? Wouldn’t any description of it seem absurd? Wouldn’t the embryo say, as you have just said. There can be no other world?”’ The smart man is still thinking up his answer. Just before I left the house this morning I held a conversation with a member of my family in the presence of our dog. As we talked, his little head swung back and forth, his round eyes looking first at one of us and then the other, trying so hard to understand. He dwells in the same house, eats the same food, breathes the same air that we do. But what we say and do and think and hope is utterly be yond his comprehension. He and we are citi zens of two different worlds. I have friends who live in worlds which I never have been able to enter. They see values in pictures my eyes can not see: music speaks to them in a language I do not understand; they have spiritual experiences which never have come to me. When I am in the presence of the best of them I have no difficulty in be lieving that there are possibilities of human life far above our highest ima.ginings. Even be yond and above the mystery called Death. « THE SHOW IS A FLOP When the tension between England. France and Italy was at its highest point recently, the French veterans sent an appeal to their premier not to make war on Italy. They said that armed conflict with the soldiers who had been their brave allies was unthinkable. Now this is a very interesting development in history. In times past the veteran used to sit around the tavern, relating his deeds of cour age and urging the young men to prepare them selves for the day when they too would fight. The veterans of the World war went back to their respective countries with no impulse to boast; memories were graven on their hearts that never can be erased: modest, quiet, tight- lipped, they have kept their war stories to them selves. In almost every country they are now leaders in the cause of honorable peace. The young people who come to my house tell me that in all colleges and schools the anti war sentiment is very strong. Does this mean that modem youth is less courageous than''its forbears? Not at all. It ineans that the whole world is coming to realize that was as it'used to be and war as it is are two entirely different things. There may have been glory in hand-to- hand conflict; there is no glory in long-distance slaughter.. - ' The age-old road-show called War has lost its following. Today the scenery is worn and tattered and spotted; martial music has lost''its magic, the costumes and the well-wtmi lines of the principals seem to. belong to tjie yehrs of Nellie the Beautiful Cloa^ Model.

Although he insisted that in most cases jobs in private indus try would be available to the 600,- 000 dismissed WPA workers, he admowfedged that some would, be forced’ back on direct rdief.

None would comment before hand on whether the I^sident would ask congress in his relief message for enough money to con tinue the work-relief program for an entire year or only from July 1 to January 1 when congress meets again.

Deduct 700,000 from vWPA. Deduct fSO.OOO from the CCC. Add 400,000 to the employed by other agencies, such as PWA. Total on July 1, 1,350,000. But, Hopkins, said. sUght addi tional reductions, chiefly in WPA, would bring the total down to around 3,360,000. Hopkins gave this outline the way 700,000 WPA jobs will be cut off: 1. The new employment will pick uo during the spring. 2. With the opening of the the Winston-water' works, five miles east of here, tonight. Dr. W. N.
