up'aa it accumulates ^ •
;^Bad impreasiona upon
prove"*costly in many ways , ilt is hard
to’ realise how important little things
are, but we should hnow'that great de
cisions often hinge upon the seemingly
unimportant.
The Why Of ReUef
The facts shown by a checkup of
WPA labor reveals a few facts of inter
est one being that the workmen are only
80 per cent regular on their jobs.
Is it any wonder that they do not have
-jobs in private industry?
Could you or any of us hope to hold
a job at a living wage if we missed an
an average of on* day out of five on the
job? Two or three weeks would be as
long as we could expect to annoy an
employer with such irregularity.
Is this the type of people that industry
is being asked to absorb at a minimum
wage of 40 cents per hour?
Never will relief expenditures reach
a decent level until men of that type
learn that they must earn a living and
that they must produce satisfactorily
for their employer, whether he be Uncle
Sam or some individual or corporation.
It is gratifying to know that area WPA
officials are going after the most irregu
lar type with a mandate to work or get
off the lists. It was learned that some
few of the less worthy relief clients on
ly work one or two days in each day
period in order not to be cut off.
Any criticism in this article of course
is not directed to the sick or disabled, or
to those who have good cause for not
being regular at work. The govern
ment is offering people a, chance to earn
the necessities of life at work on WPA
projects, and the jobless should appre-
the opportunity and do.their l^t.
V Instead ‘ they lay out of work one-fifth
at the time.
W!D«W teke^very Httle time and
Landon and Hoover
Regardless of the top heavy majority
for the present national administration
in the last election and the seemingly
prepondereiit approval of its policies up
to that time, there are many people in
the majority party who are loyal to it
who would like to see more militant op
position and competition from the Re
publicans.
It is because they believe in a two-
party government and in a strong mi
nority party to act as check upon what j
threatens to become an unwieldy ma
jority. I
Republicans and the less partisan in i
the majority party no doubt were
pleased at the announcement by Landon
that he would not be a candidate for
the presidency in 1940. They were
pleased not sc much because they would
not like to see Landon run, because
he is a man that has commanded re
spect.
What seems to have pleased many is
the fact that the announcement by Lan
don has all the ear-marks of an invita
tion for Former President Hoover to
make a similar statement, and pave the
way for rejuvenation of the G. 0. P. by
those who had little or no part in its
management in the dark days of the de-
iwession. Although many are still loyal
to the party and would vote again for
Hoover if he were a candidate, they
realize that hui name has been publicized
too many times in connection with the
depression and that his chances of elec
tion would be indeed slim.
Unsightly Trash
We have always contended that clean
liness, neatness and good appearance
. are worth much in dollars and cents and
, muqh more in satisfaction.
'While (Conditions which make impres-
upon visitors have improved late-
^4jr; -tiiere are some glaring faults that
'inrtinCaHy catch >ne’s eye. One is the
apparent reluctance on the part of con-
Imcton and others engaged in building

WHAT OF THE CHILDREN?
It was enough to make Judge William
F. Harding sit up and take notice when
he found one of the customers of our
Guilford Superior court testifying that
he and his v^e were able to save $4 out
of their combined weekly wage of $11
despite the fact that they had four chil
dren. The jurist's commendation of
of such thriftiness, “You keep that up
and some day you’ll be well off," was
well timed to say the least.
But there are a number of inquiries
which the court did not make but which
in the interest of fairness to heads of
families who find it hard sledding io
make ends meet on much more than
that, ought to be put.
Not a word, so far as reported, was
said in the courtroom of what is hap
pening to those four children. Do any
of them go to school and if so are they
comfortably clothed and fed? What
was being done for their pleasure, hap
piness and growth while the father was
out engaging on his comfortable margain
in a little intoxicated driving for which
he was convicted in Judge Harding’s
court? Well and good is what the court
said about the defendant’s frugality.
What says society of the opportunities
he or it is giving his children.—Greens
boro Daily News.
ECONOMIC LAW CONFLICT
Homer Martin, president of the Unit
ed Automobile Workers’ Union, advis
es all the members of his organiaztion
to refuse to buy meat. He tells them
this will bring meat prices down. Ed
ward A. O’UNeil, president of the Am
erican Farm Bureau Federation, wires
asking Martin, “Is this an invitation for
American farmers to take, similar action
against products produced by CIO union
labor?
After a while the truth may dawn on
organizers that striking to put wages—
and therefore prices—up and striking
to bring prices down, heads toward an
economic breakdown in which nobody
would quit eating. That would be in
convenient.
The organization responsible f o •
boosting production costs in one indus
try must not complain if prices rise in
the markets for products of many indus
tries. They all are tied together by ec
onomic laws.—Detroit News.
DO IT NOW
If Congress will follow the President’s
suggestions for a better Housing Act
we should undoubtedly see a steady in
crease of building throughout the coun
try.
Reducing the banker’s interest and
very materially altering the insurance
premium brings the true rate on a house
worth $6,000 or under down to 6 1-4
per cent, which is a great improvement,
also reducing the down payment to 10
per cent instead of 20, makes a big dif
ference.
But the resistance to the purochase of
new houses has been so serious in recent
years that we cannot expect a sudden
rush of buyers.
Much more important is the opening
up of FHA operations to large rental
projects. For the sad fact remains that
the American people would rather rent
than buy. With the drop in the price
of materials which is already taking
place, and the lowering of lM>or cost to
be expected if larger operations can
provide more continuous work, there is
’’o reason why the rental part of the
program should mot bear immediate
fruit-
The talk of a 16-billion-dollar program
is to distort the President’s words. The
‘ Government is not going to spend a dol
lar. Therefore, the amotmfr that will be
spent depends on willingn^ to buy and
willingness to rent on the part of the
public, and is therefore entirely proble
matical.
Only one thing is certain. The soon
er Congress passes the bill the sooner
the buying and the reoiitlilg wiU be^.
It is up to CongreaTto 'iU^^Wiisli^r
