Drunks Not Wanted
Sober people look upon drunks with
mingled feeling of pity and annoyance.
They pity them because their faculties
as humans have vanished and are an
noyed because their fello^men often
surrender their minds and bodies to al
cohol.
On this subject Dale Carnegie, author
of “How to Win Friends and Influence
People”, and recognized as one of the
world’s greatest authorities on person
alities, makes the following observa
tion:
“A sign on a Canadian National Bunk
Car at Komoma, Canada, read: ‘No
drunks allowed. Keep out’. Apparent
ly a drunk is about as popular as a pole
cat. He isn’t wanted in the office, at
home nor behind the steering wheel of
an automobile. He isn’t wanted in a
bunk car. He isn’t wanted even in a
saloon.
“If you want no one to want you, get
drunk”.
A few weeks ago when Judge Pless
was presiding over court at Wilkesboro
he addressed remarks to a splendid look
ing young man who had pleaded guilty
to driving a car while under the influ
ence of liquor. The young man had
been given a substantial fine and a sus
pended sentence. He wanted a day or
two to get up the money for the fine and
costs. Judge Pless said that he could
not allow anyone to drive drunk on a
ci>e:dlt H« said, “You did not have to
drive and you did not have to get drunk.
You certainly dichnot have to do both at
the same time”.
Ifctit Mud
Highway Comxnlasioner J. G; Haekett
said iri addtasaing an assembly of rural
people 1^ falfthat he was going to aee
to it fhatachoo* buses J»ad roads to trav
el and that buses would not get stuck in
the mud. Remembering that during the
1936-37 school year that buses were un-
able to travel for two months because of
muddy roads or lack of roads, we
thought he had his aim a little high.
But the winter has passed and thru-
out Mr. Hackett’s division school buses
have been able to travel regularly.
Much needed work has been done on
leading secondary roads and the-weath-
ir has not been unusually severe. Mr.
Haekett is looking after the roads in his
division in a most capable and efficient
manner. His job is one of those big ones
with little pay and we do not know of
any who would be more conscientious
in their efforts to improve the road sys
tem. ilecently we learned that he is
the only member of the commission who
goes to his office every day. The mem
bers are paid only for the days they at
tend commission meetings.
Local Schools Crowded
During the past several years valiant
efforts have been made to improve the
school housing conditions for Wilkes
school children in the rural districts.
Some adequate buildings have been er
ected. At least two more buildings and
two or more additions are desperately
needed. . - xt -ti.
Meanwhile the population of North
Wilkediwro bas been growing and there
iias been a corresponding increase in
school enrollment.. Rooms constructed
for 30 and 35 students in the city schools
now have as many as fifty and should a
12th grade be added to the school sys
tem there would be no place to put it
in the high school building.
We understand that an elementary
unit is planned to be constructed in the
northwest part of the city when addi-
4jni|hl quarters coold be afforded:- This

GOLDEN TEXT: "God Is no

10:34, : ■ :.:V '
Open the door and make way for a little fel
low who can spend his play hours on crutches
and still smile.
This lad, one of thousands in the country who
haven’t received quite an even break physically,
is coming in from a rather restrained romp to
spend a little time with his books at a school for
crippled children. It’s time for geography and
arithmetic.
You don’t get that confident smile he is dis
playing from spending months in bed and look
ing forward to many more months on crutches.
You don’t get it from knowing the other kids
are out playing baseball.
You get it from such things as the sun above
and the flowers blooming outside the door and
from the knowledge that someone cares and is
doing something to help you along.
Many youngsters in Wilkes, starting out with
crippled bodies, can tell you of the multitude of
things which are being done to give them a bet
ter life. More are yet to be reached.
First there must be adequate facilities for
treating the children and adults to give them
the maximum use of thftir crippled muscles.
There most be education—impossible through
I nggmal, channels. Adtilts require tite aii of-pro
fessional workers who can kelp ha rehabilitation
and vocational programs. ChUdren need special
edaeatioa and helping hands to adjust them so-
ciaUg.
Ikis is the season to bdp—the season when
the brightly color^ of the In^matipnal
Society lor Crippled Childieh and its State and
local alftliates go on sale.
Hie Sehls carry the inessage to all parts of
the coontiY. They provide carrying
on tiUS work, for interesting otbe^ in its
acoocM^lshment. The 1938 Seals, bearing the
slogan, “A Better Life for Crippled Children,’’
go on sale here April first.
THE AMERICAN SYSTEM
(From the New York Times)
By a very large majority the people of
Seattle have rejected a cand’date for
Mayor backed by the C. I. O. and elect
ed instead a more conservative candi
date who had pledged himself “to re
establish the city’s reputation as a law-
abiding community, to restore its finan
cial credit, to suppress intimidation, vio
lence and labor racketeering and to use
the power of the Mayor’s rffice to re
store industrial peace and prosperity.”
The result of this election, held *in a
city of nearly a half million people, long
beset by labor difficulties, has a signifi
cance which goes far beyond that of
the usual municipal election.
As was the case last year in Detroit,
it casts doubt on the success of efforts
to use the political organization of la
bor, not as part of a general fusion
movement in the interest of good local
government, but as a separate party in
strument intended to advance the inter
ests of a single economic group. In so
doing it throws light on the present rate
of public opinion in a comh^pnity which
has served in recent years as a favorite
proving ground for political experimen
tation.
After Detroit and Seattle, there is
even more reason than there was be
fore to believe that the old traditions Of
a political democracy in which men vote'
as citizens will'continue to prevail'over
the idealogy which wouW-substitute for
these traditions a new rivalry of "class'.’
antagonisms.
When you dear with an honest man
iwMom need a Jroq
deft! with a crook, often even a Obb
can’t save you.
(LeMM Text! Mwk. 7:84-a7.)
With this lesson, we begin aa^
other quarter’s consldeiratlon of
the Gospel of Service (according
to Mark>, the aim of which to to
lead us to appreciate how Jesus
in his life and teaching empha
sized service to all men; to .help
ns devote our llvae to the task
of building a new world In ac
cordance with the ideals of our
Lord.
In order to get away from the
milling throngs which accompa
nied him and his disciples every
where they went, and, also to
seek a place of retirement and
rest in order that he could in
struct his faithful twelve, Jesus
left Capernaum and went to the
borders of Tyre and Sidon and
entered into a house, probably
that of a friend where he thought
he could find seclusion. This was
not to be, however, for as Mark
declares, “he could not he hid.’’
Hearing that Jesus was In the
neighborhood, a distressed moth
er—a Syrophoenlclan by race—
sought him out and, falling at his
feet, besought him that be cast
out a demon which had possessed
her little *daughter. In order to
test her faith, Jesus gave what
seems to he a scornful reproach
to the woman when he said, “Let
the children first be filled; for
it is not meet to take the chil
dren’s bread and cast It to the
dogs.” Matthew in recording the
same incident quotes Jesus as
saying, “I am not sent but unto
the lost sheep of the House of
Israel.” In other woi[ds, Jesus
wented to see just how this worn
an, a Gentile, would respond to
the news that the blessings, both
physical and spiritual, which he
came into the world to bring
were meant primarily for the
Jews, God’s chosen people.
Many of us would have turned
away in indignation from such a
retort. But not so this mother.
She acknowledged everything that
Jesus said to be true, that the
Jews were entitled to the bread,
but that no one, no matter bow
proud or selfish, would deprive a
-dog of the crumbs which fall
from the table. So great was her
fSkith in the healing power and
in tho compassion of Jesus, that
shfe was wtUlhg'to buuhls herself
Ib'tee dost if by BO'doing; sb«
could obtain the' blessing she
quested.
Jesus was m completely won
to her upoh her reply that he
said, "For this saylag, go- thy
Why; the demon to gone out of
thy-daughter," When she arrived
home she found her .diild healed-
Through this miracle, Jesus
taught bis disciples that faith and
healing and works of mercy are
not a matter of race, nor family
nor tradition, that even the hated
Gentiles were the children of
God, and as such were entitled to
be served by him. This was a
truth that was very hard for the
disciples to understand—a truth
that many of us stumble over ev
en today. We cannot seem to
grasp the fact that all men are
God’s children, whether their skin
Is black or white, red or yellow,
and that their souls are equally
precious in his sight.
Upon leaving the borders of
Tyre and Sidon, Jesus went
through the midst of Decapolis.
Whil^ passing through, some
friends brought to Jesus a man
who was deaf and who had an
impediment in his speech, asking
that Jesus lay his hand on the
man. Taking the man aside from
the multitude, Jesus did every
thing possible to arouse the
inm'g eoofideiiee «nd eipeqtency,
About 811 thft man could ^ was

good news. And everyone who
hemrd'about it' was astonished,
declaring, “He hath done
things well; he maketh even the'
deaf to hear, and the dumb to
speah.”
' W!hat wonders could be
wrought In the name of Christ if
we, like the Syrophoenlclan moth
er, could display such wonderful
faith, or If we could have our
deaf bars opened and our dumb
tongues loosened. Robert Stuart
MacArthur dMlares, “In all con
gregations there are those who
are dumb so far as concerns the
giving of testimony for Christ.
How many there are who have
powerful impediments in their
speech! They are voluble in the
marts of trade; they are eloquent
in speaking of politics; but they
are pitifully silent when called
upon to give testimony to the
healing power and redeeming
love of Jesus Christ.”

Quarterly (Conference
Second quarterly conference of
the Wilkesboro Methodist charge
will be held Sunday evening,
7:30, at Union church. Rev. J.
W. Hoyle, Jr., presiding elder,
will preach. The public is cordial
ly invited to attend.
The same type of lump-sum
payments are being made also to
persons who have reached age 66
since January 1, 1937. These pay
ments are based, likewise, an the
wages earned In covered employ
ment since that date, amounting
to 3 1-2 per cent of such wages.
Some workers now eligible, who
have hot filed claims, are under
the Impression that they must
stop work if they apply for a
lump-sum payment. This belief is
not true, according to Mr. Spru
ill, since lump-sum payments are
being made to employees who
have reached 65 and who con
tinue to work at their old jobs.
This confusion undoubtedly aris
es from the fact tnat monthly
benefit payments, which will not
start until 1942, can not be paid
to persons who are still working
in covered employment.
