MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1936 Babies today run more risk than those of yes teryear. Modem babies often get burned by cigarettes, while 50 years ago a baby‘never got burned except when he picked up grandma's pipe.—Florida Times-Union. Man isn’t so smart Thousands of years before he began to have afternoon headaches from try^ ing to thnk the turtle had a stream-lined body, turret top, retractable landing gear and a port- able house.—St. Louis Star-Times. Nothing Is Free Soon after creation the Creator told man that “by the sweat of your brow shall ye eat bread," meaning that what man has shall be earned. In this advanced age of civilization the question is as true as in the days of Adam. Some would have us believe that politics can take the place of labor and that we can legislate ourselves into a happy state where our wants are sup plied with little or no toil. Others seek an easy way (through gambling and some economists try to explain the de pression as an aftermath of seeking a livelihood without work. Wealth does not consist of the gold in government vaults or the currency that has been printed. They are only a means of exchange of natural wealth and the wealth that has been produced by human labor. The stately trees that grace the moun tain sides do not represent a great sum of wealth in their present state. After manufactured by human labor into'fin ished lumber and placed into houses they represent homes, which make up the greatest single item of wealth in the nation. So it is with plant-growing elements in the .soil, including nitrogen, potash, pho.sphorous and others. They repre sent little wealth in their dormant state. After man tills the soil, plants the seeds and cultivates crops, foods are produced, products of human labor. When people realize that nothing is free and that everything w'orthwhile co.sts in labor, there will be a broader appreciation of the problems that have afflicted the human race since man sinned in the Garden of Eden. WPA Training Course We read with interest an account of a training course among women em ployed by the WPA. This course, as we understand it, is an effort to teach the needy how to help themselves to a bet ter plane of Tving and may be the first step toward self sufficiency. All agree that the tremendously high expenditures of the past few’ years to provide relief and jobs for jobless can not go on at the present rate and that sometime not so far in the future many who have received much aid from the government will be back on their ow'n. Of course, the government of this great nation cannot let any person starve but greatep efforts will be made to help the unfortunates to help themselves. More emphasis will be placed on a permanent solution to each problem. This is seen in the Re.settlement Admin- i.ctratior’s policy of placing relief fam ilies on better farms, giving them an opportunity to work out their ow’n sal vation. Surveys have revealed that many of those on WPA work relief rolls are de ficient in knowledge of practical u-seful- ness. Some housewives had not learned the art and methods of preserving foods by canning, drying, etc. No. family of limited means can hope to eke out an existence without follow ing such practices. Food only grows Y- about half the year. It is man’s job to i^odoce a year’s aupply.in half the time , gad to t>re«rvo ohongb use !«ring V the‘^ IrtOduces' ■ X.'* •f*’- ■«* ^ ' One of the most heated polRicar camr, paigna in recent history of our country is in progr^. .The campaign,offerf , a big opportunity for intolerance of other people’s views and ideas.' To support certain candidates and eo- called i»rty principles is the privilege of/every citizen. But at the same'time each of us have our choices; we should not lose sight of the fact that people as good, as intelligent and as sincere as we are, have other choices and beliefs. Partisanship often leads to the form ing a biased opinion that those who think differently from you are wrong, mean, selfish, communistic, dangerous and bad all the way through. In order to refrain from forming such opinidns one should take tinie off from thinking the partisan way to coolly reflect uppn the other fellow’s program and plat form. Politicians from now until election time will be “pointing with pride’’ or “viewing with alarm’’ in an effort to sway the emotions of the American peo ple. But the election will be determin ed by that rapidly growing number who disregard partisan politics and vote what they sincerely believe to be the best for the nation. In 1928 Hoover was elected by an unprecedented majority. Only four years later he was defeated by a still larger majority. In the two elections many millions of voters forsook parties to vote their own convictions. The bal ance of power lies with those who do not hesitate to kick over party traces. Bruce- BARTON EXPERIENCE TEACHES DOLLAR WORTH One day the vice president of a trust company was showing me around and explaining how :arefully the company handles the funds entrust ed to it. Being asked by him for a comment, I modestly put forth the following: “There would seem to be one defect in your men from the rich dormi tories of Princeton and Harvard and Yale, and you transport them direct into the paneled offices of Wall Street without ever a chance to find out what life is all about, j* dol lar or a hundred dollars or a hundred thousand Bruce Barton dollars are just so many marks on a piece of whitt paper to them. “No boy ought to be allowed to come into your trust company until he has first worked a year on a farm or as a section-hand on a railroad, or behind the counter of a country store. A dollar never again would be simply a mark on a piece of paper to him. It would mean struggle and sac rifice and sweat.” The vice-president didn’t pay any attention to the suggestion, of course, but I still think it was good. A great danger to this country comes from the lack of understanding between different sec tions and classes. I wish it were possible for ‘very big city banker, lawyer and executive to change places at least one year in seven with a small-town storekeeper, or a day laborer. It would be fine if every big board of directors had one place which would be filled by a farmer—a different one every year. How much more humanity there would be in business 'f the men at the top could keep fresh their contact with the problems and hardships and heart.sches of the ordinary man and woman.

Rhodes-Day Furniture Co. “Always Outstanding Furniture Values” NINTH STREET NORTH WILKESBORO, N. C. nililff Winston-Salem, as the World s Largest Manufac turing Tobacco City Offers Advantages To the Tobacco Growers That No Other Leaf Market Can The item of freight or trucking charges on leaf tobacco purchased by manufacturers and dealers having plants here does not have to be considered by these buyers in the prices offered under the com petitive bidding plan—^the saving means a leeway to the farmer in the prices they bid. The Winston-Salem leaf market was founded and has developed on a'basis of grower satisfaction. The Norfleets, the Gorrells, the Browns the Carters, the Wilsons and others always had the interest of the grower in mind. This spirit of friendly helpfulness still pre vails and when the ten warehousemen invite you to “drive in” dur ing the 1936-1937 season it is an invitation from a friend to a fnend. More highways seiA^e Winston-Salem than any other market or any city in the State. This means a saving in gas, oil and other expens es as you come to this market over a direct route or routes. The buyers eagerly seek the type o f tobacco grown in this area. You further benefit thi’ough the law of supply and demand as well as through the quality of the type of your tobacco when it is sold on a market that is always on the lookout for proven types and quality. Ten warehouses will be in operation at the opening of. the market on October 5th, which number will "greatly facilitate the handling of your tobacco this ^ason." --IP -J. kt.'^ .9’' ••■i
