MONDAY, SEPT. 20, 1937 Wl««D Jc^ Barleycorn Drivea John Barleycorn causes a high per centage of our 38,000 annual traffic deaths. A report from the California Depart ment of Motor Vehicles shows a condi tion that exists in many states. Cali fornia experienced 2,838 traffic deaths last year. Of these, about 21 per cent involved drivers and pedestrians who were known to have been drinking. It is reasonable to assume that liquor was a factor in a much greater proportion, as it is often impossible to legally prove mild intoxication. No lethal weapon ever invented by man is more potentially deadly than a mixture of alcohol and gasoline. Med ical tests have proven that as little as two or three ounces of liquor will seri ously impair a driver’s reflexes—even though he may appear to be sober in all respects—and at the same time give him an influx of Dutch courage that results in inexcusable recklessness. By the same token, drinking pedestrians, their senses yf caution dimmed, unknowingly take the chances that breed death and in jury. There is no excuse for a driver taking the wheel of his car after drinking. Here is a case where the law must be adament and must be exerted ruthlessly, impar tially and immediately. It is a notorious fact that in many communities, prose cuting and police officers are lax about ‘ the drinke rat tibe wheel, and aare mly too willing to reduce a charge of drunk en driving to the less important charge of recklessness, if a little ''pull” is ex erted. The sole consequences of such a policy is to make these drivers believe they can get away with it—and they re peat the offense at the first opportunity. Drunken driving can be handled by adequate laws, which impose fines, jail terms and license revocations on offend ers, coupled with aggressive police and prosecution work. When a fifth of the traffic fatalities in a representative state are known to be the result of liquor, it’s time to “crack” down. Drunks Too Numerous Every court in the land has dockets containing charges of drunkness. The disturbing fact is that excessive drinking of liquor and other intoxicants is stead ily on the increase and has been for the past 50 years or more. During the prohibition era more liquor was consumed each year and wets howled loudly and mightily that prohi bition was the cause. The national dry laws were repealed and now legal liquor is available in practicaly every state in the union. Drunkness continues its devastating increase. Among other things, intoxicants pre sent a major probem in this enlightened America today. The question seems to reduce itself to this important observa tion: Will people handle, control, or abolish strong drink, or will liquor con trol the people? The general trend of conversation on the subject usually contains something like this: “If a man will take his drink, go ahead and attend to hig own business it is all right.” Again that all important “if” is in the way. A medical authority writing about one great section of the said that one out *of 20 patients admitted to hospitals were there because of al coholism. In such numerous cases the mun or woman did not take the liquor The liquor took possession of him or he’i as the Individual ca» might be. In locaBtleo.’tti® tend- encf on the women toward driiik- iog portesda’the dowBfhll of America’s ^Bxanaat hwtltittion—home. - of Smoker; All world's records of cigarette pro- ^'duction were broken in July of this year, the Internal Revenue Bureau reports. In that one month the factories •£ the^|; Uhited States turned out fifteen and a qnuior billion cigarettes. That comes to neariy seven packs a month "for every man, woman and child in the Unitdd States. On this one month’s output of cigar ettes the manufacturers paid a tax of six cents for each package of 20, or 63 a thousand. The tax, of course, is in cluded in the price of the cigarette. EJvery time a smoker breaks the revenue stamp with which each paric of cigar ettes is sealed, he is paying six cents in taxes direct to the Federal Government. On the cigarettes made in July, allowing one smoker to each family of four, the tax paid Iby the average family will come to somewhat more than 61*60. The smoker who consumes the fairly moder ate amount of a pack of cigarettes a day pays 621.90 cents into the Federal cof fers for the privilege of indulging in his habit. The Government’s revenue from cigar ettes at the July rate of production runs to 45 1-2 million dollars a month, or at the rate of 546 million dolars a year. The cigarette tax, next to the Income Tax, is the largest single source of Fed eral revenue. The revenue from cigars and pipe tobacco is steadily dropping, also that from chewing tobacco and snuff, but the consumption of cigarette-s is steadily increasing. _ ^nitching On Andy We have had the “Ever Normal Gran ary.” Now it appear that we are to have an “Ever Normal Cash Box,” according to the latest reports from Washington. This last smacks suspiciously of an Amos and Andy program. The idea now is for the government to store “extra” cash during good times to use for unemployment purposes during depressions. 'The idea is fine, except “extra” cash around Washington is about as scarce as polar bears in Africa. Borrowed Comment A Nariw Son'Cct* AkrAppiiBitnriM (Htjgb Point Enterprise) P. Ward Eshelman, head of the large Wilkes hosiery mills at North Wilkesboro, is the newly elected head of the Southern Hosiery Manufactur ers’ Association. Mr. Eshelman, a High Pointer by birth and up bringing, is one of that company of able sons of this community who have achieved brilliantly with another section as the field of operation. Mr. Eshelman has built a large business, and that he is regarded as a capable leader is evidenced by his being drafted by the Southern hose industry to lead it in a period when ft is troubled with problems which have their foundation largely in over-production capacity and all the vicious prac tices which seem to attend such a condition. His home community is prideful of Mr. Eshel man and we wish for him the greatest success in meeting the challenging conditions of an industry which means to much to this center of hosiery manufacture painfully aware that strong leader ship is the need in that line just now. FIRESIDE PHILOSOPHY By C. M. DICKSON It’s just a one-way drive to paradise. The stamp of a may not be the only pass port into the upper kingdom. It’s no more imoassible for a big heart to be wrapped in a black skin than it is for a black heart to be wrapped in a white .sk'n. The breeds of hogs and dogs about which the Apostle Paul talked about returning to their “wallow in the mire and their vomit,” have by no means lost their identity. The husband shouldn’t object to minding a lit tle baby at home if his wife will tal;e the larger ones to the bridge party, the dance hail, or the movies. K one’s children become “brownies” by work- ilng is the sunshine, their chances are lessened to become “blonds” by sitting in the .shade of a cell. Fools embrace what wise men flee from. There are more ways of ribbing a man than by stealing from his crib or robbing his bank. It takes an epepert book-keeper to keep books with the devil and not come out with a shortage. Another reason why men do not like to hoe in the garden—they are so close to the house that they can be ‘‘overseed” so easily. If going to school divorces one from being in terested in, and from attending church and Sun day school, ’twould be much better for such a one never to darken a school-house door. The city boy asks why a farmer dehorns a steer, hot de-t^ a sheep—just because the na ture of the brute requires it Most men will pose as your friend so long as yon help them more than they help yon, but if misfortune overtakes yon, their dogs know it, and will .cease to wag their tails at you. Some peoide seem to be natured like the rat tler—most of the time in a coil and always ready te strike «t their very best Should some men smile just one time, it would jmodaee aadi a cemmotion amoag their wives .and diiUTCB that a joxy would be summoaed to esamine the sanity of aneh men. need strong wives to h^ them Bejttle down; to help them strike deefi roots into the soil des]^ wind and drouth and hafl. Tb help them go forth where fields end gardsas are at hand even in -A time when pessimists bewail the decBne and fall of agricultare. It will brU^ them a rich reward, in contentment and in doe time sim ple financial security. When mother and I began 12 years ago with i^t we believed to be an adequate philosophy which brought together our sdieme of living,, we realized that we had been bom into a human society. We knew life, not in the raw, and so we were unable to use all the tools and instruments society had developed through history: words, such as, ‘T wish you luck.” We were unable to be poor and independent. We asked for help to get in return, “I wish you luck.” “I wish you luck” will ring in the ears of newly married farm ers as smooth as an old mare's month for business in Hay Springs but there are no short-cuts, no patent tram-road to living. This wish can lead their soul’s path through the thorny wilderness which they still must trod in soli tude, with bleeding feet, as it were, with sobs for help, as it has been trodden by many in olden times. Mother and I had no desire to sit on a divan and we waited upon by the distinguished feature of the heartless mistress of fortune. iWe had never been so stupid as to sit, sotting over a pot and a gl^s. ’iy All Cin^B rant charg}n tritit a fH,- TWb countiy needs '^re fhrm-^ture, and means of Ovhqy are plWU: robbery, yesterday ets.-:^ Hieae lean young aativea dneed, for themselvea and aB imti In tiie fields tfaay f/mM-hnw something to griide*th^ deeisione and actiima, fit the fields they would always be in a more or 1^ religious fftnnent They would not have to distract themselves to the point where faith would be.

Business is booming at the “Tea Room Alois,” which Alois opened two weeks ago. It is very modern and, in small letters over the doors, there are signs: “Pro prietor, Alois Hitler.*’ Tthe loca tion is a princtyal square. The waiters’ greet customers with “hell Hitler,” but they are cautious about discussing the re lationship between the boss and der fuehrer. SUIT ON ROAD BONDS AGAINST ASHE COUNTY Suit for; the recovery of |11,- 812.50 declared to be due on cer tain road improvement bonds is- sending out smoke from our heads and articulating nonsense about all sorts of things. We did, however, begin by rising early and have found happiness here on the land. We know now that only by |iard effort and expe riment does one reach the matter- of-fact plane; indeed, the sense of a neutral world, untouched by man’s efforts, indiffeirent to his activities, obdurate to wish and supplication, which in itself repre sents a fresh human value for us. And we’ll never “wish you luck.” My Day Was Done After I had unharnessed our horse and watered and fed her, I climbed up into the loft and put a foricful hay, them Abe-ilpttjyiis places and foed with hay.^* - [y day was done, and the darkness fell from the wings of night, as a feather wafted down ward from an eagle in its fUgfat.” I waited long under the stars, in the absence of the closing shad ows. Here and there a cricket gave a chirp, katydids rubbed their wings together and a cow bell tingled in my neighbor’s pas ture. No man can remain long si lent under the stars, with the brooding, mysterious night around him, without feeling, poignantly, how feeble human judgments are. From this vantage point I could see most of the nearby world. Should I wait here long enough, all people would pass my way. While they passed I would ask my self, “Who has lost faith in the earth, the seasons, the sun?” Ev- erythihg that has ever been hon est and sound is still honest and sound. )Why does it cost a lot of people a lot of pain and the loss of vanity and pride to come down to earth, and come to grips with the realities and first principles of making an honest living? How many people are bom into the present world, and continue there, never knowing what other worlds they may achieve? Some never know, they wait their days in expectancy, forgetting to keep their furrows straight and their fence comers well plowed. So I came into my house tonight and I sat down at my table with a glow and a thrill for there was plenty to feed my brood. After this day in the fields, though the fences include no more acres, and I still expect to drive the horse and man the plow, my real domain has expanded until I expect to crop wider fields and find a profit in others’ pastures. And I Will Sleep With many people I saw pass tonight, the only real thing to do is to hurry as though every mo ment was their last, as though the world, which is really so rich In most things, has only one prize which they can attempt to • seize upon. Some day they shall ti*v to recall, like one who struggles to restore the visions of a lever, what it was they had hoped to gain.
