Appeal To Drivers
Children have a universal appeal. To
asy that a inan does not seek to protect
and care for children is to place upon
him the stigma lower than the lowest of
animals.
The following: appeal by Phil Brain-
ilf, addressed to every automobile and
track driver, appeared recently in the
Montgomery Advertiser but will fit any
tomiDunity and with but few alterations
would apply to any parent and any
home:
“Today my daughter who is seven
years old, started to school as usual. She
wore a dark blue dress with a white col
lar. She had on black shoes and wore
blue gloves. Her cocker-spaniel whose
name it “Coot,” sat on the front porch
and whined his canine belief in the folly
of education as she waved “goodbye”
and started off to the halls of learning.
“Tonight we talked about school; she
told me about the girl who sits in front
of her—the girl with yellow curls—and
the boy across the aisle who makes fun
ny faces. She told me about her teach
er, who has eyes in the back of her head
—and about the tree in the school yard
—and about the big girl who doesn’t be
lieve in Santa Claus. We talked about
a lot of things—^tremendously vital, un
important things; and then we studied
spelling, reading, arithmetic — and thei:
to bed.
“She’s back there now—back in the
^nursery sound asleep, with “Princess El
izabeth” (that’s a doll) cuddled in her
right arm. You guys wouldn’t hurt her
would you? You see, I’m her daddy.
When her doll is broken or her finger is
cut, or her head gets pumped, I can fi.K
it—but when she starts to school, when
she walks across the street, then she’s in
your hands.
“She’s a nice kid. She can run like a
deer and darts about like a chipmunk.
She likes to ride horses and swim and
hike with me on Sunday afternoons. But
I can’t be with her all the time; I have
to work to pay for her clothes and edu
cation. So please help me look out for
her. Please drive carefully, please drive
slowly pa.st the schools and intersect on 4
—please remember that the children
run from behind parked cars.
“Please don’t run over my little girl."
The Tax Problem
Sixty-one individuals in the United
States paid the United States Treasury, in
1937, 71 per cent of their incomes each
of which was above a million dollars in
the year 1936. Their total tax payments
amounted to more than $77,000,000.
Two million, two hundred and thhly-
seven thousand, seven hundred and thir
ty-seven individuals having incomes un
der $5,000 paid a little over $66,000,000
in income taxes the same year.
The 651,000 other persons with taxa
ble incomes paid more than a billion dol
lars in income taxes.
The total income on which taxes were
paid was reported as about 19 billion dol
lars, the total income tax of a billion and
a quarter represented about 6 per cent of
that. That is a low rate, as income taxes
in other nations go. In Great Britain
they start at 22 1-2 per cent and are
graded up from there.
The total receipts from individual and
corporate income taxes are less than a
third of the nation’s annual expenditures.
How to get more revenue from this
source i.s a problem to which there are
many possible answers. They range
from broadening the tax base by taxing
lower incomes, to increasing the taxes on
the rich to a point of practical confisca
tion.
■ Few potHieifiM kindly to the ai-
of reducing Govern-
meni tmpinim,
There’ls'a sttanding joke ta the ^dio
indoatry' to thr effect that" the av^ge
sponsor’s concej^on of ao*idea|,hto of
broadcSet entertainment^ two m^tes
of music, two olf comedy, tvtb of drama,
and fifty-four minutes of dynamic^sales
talk about the sponsor’s product.
The shadow of that joke is cast by the
substance of reali^^—the sponsor’s sur
prising inability to realize whx millions
listen to the radio. Some seek the
laughter of a Charlie McCarthy, some
the relaxation of symphonic music, some
education and information. But all
stand upited in one thing—they definite
ly no not want intermediate stretches of
direct salesmanship, florid and verbose
to the point of tedium.
A glance at some of the most popular
programs on the air today is proof that
the five-minute sales blurb doesn’t pay.
A brief mention of the sponsor’s name
and product prefaces and closes an au
to company’s program olf fine music.
That program, unscarred by the mental
torture of lengthy commercials, has en
joyed a long and successful career on
the air waves. Other sponsors, if wise,
will follow that tip, confining their ef
forts to gaining the intangible known
as good will by the dignified presenta
tion of adult entertainment.
It isn’t hard to understand that the
prospective purchaser of anything from
an axe to an autom,obile will seek his
bargains in the columns of the newspa
per, the natural medium for such adver
tising It isn’t hard to understand why
he dosen’t want his enjoyment inter
rupted by a lengthy discourse on the
merits of a product he may not need,
probably can’t afford, and doesn’t want,
anyway.
Let’s have some music!

While much attention is being given
the importance of cleaning up, raking
up and otherwise improving appearanc
es we would suggest that the leaning
fence at the fairgrounds be straightened
up. The fence being alongside one of
the entrances to the city, it does not cre
ate an impression of stability.
Borrowed Comment
NEWS! WHAT IS IT?
(Rockingham Post-Dispatch)
News! What is news? Many read
ers pick up a paper, and unless there is
a big head-line, the paper is dropped
with the remark that “there’s nothing
much in the paper today.” To far too
many, crime is news; virtue is not. Ac
cident is news; safety is not. But then
this old world must still be pretty good
ff misbehavior by reason of strangeness
makes so much of the news.
A bit of news was passed last week in
a mere item. Harold Lloyd and his
wife, tile former Mildred Davis, quietly
ceicbrated their 15th wedding anniver
sary. Fifteenth anniversaries in Holly
wood are rarer than divorces—and the
smashups of unhappy or inconvenient
marriages make the news.
Contrawise, the Post-Dispatch devot
ed a column and a half last week to an
account of the 50th wedding anniversa
ry of a Richmond county couple—^that
of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Gibson and
about their ten grown children. And
three weeks ago another fine couple
here, Mr. and Mrs. John C. Dees, cele
brated their 54th wedding anniver.sary.
The.se two events were news.
Whereas in Superior court here two
weeks ago ten divorces were set for
trial—not so much for trial, but a per
functory legal hearing, and these were
regarded as news. The real news in
this, however, was the attempt of a cer
tain divorced person to be married again
when the divorce had not been made le-
jrai—a jury had agreed, but the plaint
iff had not paid the court costs; no di
vorce is final until it is paid.
And since this ds rather a mixture of
incidents, we might mention that a cou
ple recently came to the Register of
Deeds here, got a marriage license on a
credit and then had Magistrate Tom
Mullis marry them on a credit! A hot
start they are making on the matrimo
nial sea—and the waves will likely
break rougher and rougher.
Recalls the story of the young Bene
dict who asked a Magistrate how much
he charged to perform a marriage.
“The law allows me $2,” replied the
Magistrate. “Pine(,’’ jsaid the gropinr
i“GIad"tiiie* Law giveayoii that'miich, Iwt^
hero’s a quarter-extra.”
