MONDAY, MAY 17, 1937 Sense of Equality All of us were interested to some ex- in the radio and press accounts of the crowning of the king of the British Empire, but if people of the empire think wc* are afflicted with an inferiority com plex they are most surely mistaken. All of the fanfare and tales of seats along the coronation route selling for a half dozen pounds is interesting, but we in America like to feel that we have passed that stage of worshiping humans and are on a basis of equality. It is, however, a sad fact that gener ally speaking there is less respect for organized authority in America than there is in England, but this comment is beside the fact. While the English fall all over each other getting glimpses of His Maje.sty, emperor, defender of the faith, etc., we like to think df our president in this country being one of us. An illustration is the yam about three men strolling about Wa.shington. They approached a youth working on a Ford Car and one said to him, “How do you like a Ford?” He replied, “All right, how do you?” In reply to the young man’s question he said he should like them because he made them. The next one asked him how he liked Firestone tires and the young man said he liked them all right, and returned the question. He said he should like them because^ he made them. Some- -wtef15Swirdered,'fhe'yoting m%n pwnt- ed to the one of the three who ha3 n^ entered the conver»ation and exclaimed; “What kind of a game is this? First thing you know that man standing there will say he is president of the United States.” The three men were Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone and President Coolidge, so the story goes. We do not know whether or not the incident happened. That is immaterial, but the story goes to show the Demo^ cratic spirit and lack of class distinction in America. It is known that Coolidge bought pea nuts from a street vendor on a corner near the Wh te House, that Hoover handled a medicine ball with servants or anyone ..earby for exercise, Theodore Roosevelt often rode horseback in the park. tVoodrow Wilson attended vaude villes, and that some spectators at the inauguration of President Roosevelt greeted him with “Hiya Frank.” We can't seem to get “het up’ over the idea of royal blood and all that sort of thing. In fact, a great many of our ancestors had a part in founding this country because of those very things. Beginning with the colonies under the king, the democracy w'hich we now take pride in was formed. i THE JOI Economy A Gesture Tihs newspaper has been consistent in its recommendation-s (for economy in government, national, state, county and city, but we pause a moment to make some comments on the action of a house committee in slashing the appropriation for the Blue Ridge Parkway by half. Five millions composed the sum rec ommended. and the committee cut it to 62,500,000 under the pretext of econo my. Let us take a close-up of the situ ation and fcee how economical that cwn- mitee works. Just how much were all appropria tion* cut? Of a total of more than a hundred millions in recommendations the araount was reduced only five mil lion*. Half of that amount was sliced from the amount proposed for parkway cwiatruction. If the committee is so hi- tent on economy, juot why, we want to* know, wa* the whole a^ipoun^ nc^ re- doeed more than five millions for all projeeisT The ^ ^ learned anew each decade. and W(»rkaeiig A man wrote Vo a friend, telling him that since he had graduated from col lege he had worked at odd jobs but had no regular en^loyment and wa* not getting anywhere, and was not saving Anything. He questioned .whether or not it would not be better to get op re lief. In his re^ly the friend stated that if the imigration bars' were suddeSIy re moved that five million foreigners would pour into this country and that some how they would find jobs, at least a great majority of them. First of all, one must be willing to work and make a profit for an employ er. Ukybe the employer in mind could handle another man of the proper type, one who could or would do something that present members of the force are not doing. If an employer does not think that he can use you to some ad^- vantage he will not hire you. Often we think of openings only in terms of vacancies. The possibilities for additions are far greater than the chance of getting a job through a va cancy. But unless a prospective em ploye can and is willing to do some profitable work, there is no hope for a job. District Office It is indeed gratifying news that the highway district office will be located in North Wilkesboro, This was learned from J. Gordon Hackett, our townsman who returned Thursday from a two-day meeting of the state highway commis sion. It is also a good omen to learn from our commissioner that appointments are to be made on a basis of merit and not on the basis of political recommenda tions. He pledges to act for the best in terests of the people of his district and no better policy of public administration could be asked. An outstanding success is the result df willingness to do a little better than “good enough.” From a woman’s point of view, it’s les.s important to be in love than to show her you’re in love. BARTON RICH HAVE CAUSE TO WORRY A young man, who is vice-president of a New York bank, told me that he dined recently at a fashionable resort. ‘‘All the other guests were very rich,” he said. “They were older people, many of them retired. They were shaking in their boots. They are afraid there will be a social upheaval and that their money will be taken away.” I told him I thought these people had a right to worry. “The social order will not be over-turned,” I said, “nor will people like your friends be stripped of their possessions. But I do believe that the rich will be poorer and the poor wull have a degree of comfort and security that they have never possessed before. And this will be better for everybody.” In saying this, I am taking a position which is contrary to my own selfish interests, for, while I am not and never shall be rich, I have an in come that is much above the average. If taxes are higher, mine will go up with the rest. But shouldn’t they? What have I done to de serve as much as I get out of life? If I have usech intelligence, it is not greatly to my credit. I hapipened to have been bosm into a home of culture. I was sent to college, and my expenses were paid. Many rich people,.who are worried for fear they will have to bear a larger burden ir the fu ture, have had all these advantages, plus the added advantage of inherited wealth. When they grumble they give me a pain. Surely, we who have bad the best luck in this country are going to be wise enough to recog nize it and to assume cheerfully our full share the lead- TAKE THE PROFIT OUT OF WAR Hy friend Admiral Samuel MeGowun was pur chasing agent fw the Navy during the World War. He saw something of the fine idealism ami sac rifice which war calls forth. But he saw, also, how greed and profiteering and the basest *ort of. fooliehness wrs^ .themselVes in the cloak of patriotism and proceed cold-bloodedly to exploit the public necessity. t - He suggests a plaa for prevesntion that wonld entirely i»moiv*k^.pnM«tt.iisteinhun .on-war and in its stead impose a vdry heavy pieaaKy. I cannot aee how any Intelligent par son can objec^ to that proposal.

Buyers attending the market represented for the most part the larger metropolitan stores of 31 states and Canada. Orders placed were generally a little larger than in recent markets. Prices on furniture displayed are up from three to seven per cent dn praettcally every line shown. Prices have been increas ed slightly on a few of the stock lines as well as on the new mer chandise shown. Approximately 3.000 new pieces of furniture are shown at the market, representing almost every accepted style. New flnish- ee, Including bleaches, and lux ury fabrics are important at the market. Eighteen century English styles lead th» parade of furniture fash ions, with modern a close second, followed by Early American in maple. A number of lines shown feature the Coronation theme, while the Chinese influence has crept into a number of other showings. The larger and more luxurious homes being btiilt over the coun try are definitely reflected in the furniture seen, with more dining room suites instead of the small dinettes of previous years. Forest Furniture company. Oak Furniture company and Home Chair company, of this city, were represented.

Aak for Carter's Uule Lirer Pills by Niaw York, May *.-^--A Minneso ta school teacher was announced today by Wheder McMillen, edi tor of The Country Home Magk- tine, aa winner of the publica tion's $1,000 prize- for the best short story based on life on the farm as it Is actually lived in present day America. She is Mrs. Monica Krawczyk of Minneaptriis. “Such fiction aa has come from agricultural themes,’’ Mr. McMil len said in commenting on the award, “has mostly been drab and depressing, in no way re flecting life as it actually flows on the real producing farms of up-to-date America, niis prize was designed to direct the atten-1 tion of writers, both new and bid, to a field which can yield its full share of drama and interest.” Mrs. Krawezyk’s story, ‘‘No Man Alone,” was selected as the winner from among more than n,000 manuscripts submitted from all parts of the country. It deals with a family of Polish- American farmers in. the Middle West, and the conflict between the progressive and the tradition al attitude toward farm life and agriculture, a.s demonstrated by 8 group in the process of Ameri canization. Mrs. Krawczyk herself is a busy wife and mother, social v/orker and vistting teacher. She uas born in Winona, Minn., old est of a large family of Polish i immigrants, and spoke no Eng lish until she went to school, where she had to learn It as a foreign language. She has three children, the oldest one already in college, and She herself bolds degrees from the University of Minnecota^ B'ce has had a uumher df' short stories published in the past.
