MONDAY, JUNE 6, 1938 Kidnaping Wave Following the arrest and conviction of a number of kidnapers, that terrible crime was perpetrated less frequently, but during the past few weeks the Lev ine kidnaping and the Cash kidnaping have awakened new interest. The federal bureau of investigation writh its all too few G-Men are hard at work and our implicit faith in that or ganization leads us to believe that other offenders will be captured and punished. And this leads 1|0 comment on fre quent flare-ups in congress about the bure>au of investigation. It has long been a sore spot wtth politicians because it offers no patronage and because the investigators are chosen on merit and training rather than the number of votes they have been able to garner and con trol for various candidates. In this day when borrowed billions are spent so easily, the American peo ple who believe in protection agadnst the master criminal should let their congressmen know in no uncertain terms that the federal bureau of investigation should be strengthenled rather than crippled. Some of the congressmen who vote in a nonchalant manner to spend billions raise a big howl about the few millions spent for protection of lives and property and the capture and rt sultant punishment of kidnapers and bank robbers. The bureau of investigation should have all the funds it needs to enlarge its force and crime fighting facilities, and the rank and file of American peo ple should be the ones to tell their rep resentatives what they think about it. In order to give the subject a home like atmosphere, let us ask the question: Who caught Bill Payne and his cohorts, and would those desperadoes have con tinued their depredations had it not been for the agents tof the federal bu reau of investigation? Divorces An editorial in this newspaper recent ly concerning the subject of “Happy Marriages” has been the subject of con siderable comment and has created com ment on that related subject “Divorc es”. And the subject naturally suggests Hollywood and movie stars. Why is a happy marriage so rare among the i^e- lebrities. The thqory has been advanced that in order for a couple to live long and hap pily together there mu.st be some logic al reason for the union. If they have mutual interests, are dependent upon each other and have children to more emphatically show the need of peace and harmony, there are more mairiag- es able to sail safely through the storms without cracking up on the rocks. In the marriage of two screen stars the above reasons for marriages are not predominant. Both have their “pub lic”, consisting of millions of admirers, the r interests are too often entirely op posite and financial independence of both individuals partially destroys de pendence. They rarely have children because they are usually working at lar^e sums pgr week and business of ^rearing children would seriously inter fere with their earning capacity. When a man and a woman decide to make a home and each finds a vital need for the other in the maintenance and operation df that home there are few chances that the marriage will crack up in the storms, little or great, which occur on any matrimonial sea. ^*An archaeologist points out that al- though Sumarian people and Semites "lought desperately in Babylonia over 4,000 years ago, that was no racial war, >^iiidUe city-states that were struggling sopremacy in the conflict showed no Gbun^^’Hoept®!!^ in aseeanbling and editing ,;lbr a descriptive and informative pi^p^let'i about Wilkes county that the tion try to put over to all Who se^ 4t something about the naiwal %dyan^es. of industry locating in Wilkes county. ' For instance, Wilkes county is natur ally suited to growing what we call old field pine and Wilkes land naturally seeds itself in rapidly growing pine. Scientists have recently discovered a process whereby newsprint can be made from pine. This discovery is leading to investments of capital in ^ the south which had heretofore gone to Canada or northern states. . Wilkes still has great timber resourc es, has vast quantities of stone suitable for building purposes, has some prom ising mineral deposits and has a soil ca pable of producing alnuost any crop. And Wilkes has an abundant supply of labor which is willing to work hard and earnestly under fair treatment. The county has adequate electric and trans portation facilities. We should, of course, tell of our churches, schools, business institutions, streets, highways, homes and many oth er things. But every County has these and no one excells another to any great extent. Our advantages should be displayed by advertising. .... . Practically everybody understands the need for cooperation, but the trou ble is that there are tqo many people who want to be director of the activities of those who co-operate. Borrowed Comment GRADUATES SHOULD GET A RUNNING START (Reidsville Review) To get a job—get to work doing some thing that leads in the direction of the job, get a running start first. This is the counsel of Walter B. Pitkin, author and phychologist, gives to 1938’s June graduates—an army equal in numbers to the population of Cleveland, Ohio— as it turned loose to shift for itself for the first time. The most important thing for" ^ any youngster out of high school and college to learn is not the particular skill of any single job, but rather what the real world is like,” declares Dr, Pitkin in an article on “How to Get a Start in Life” in the current Rotarian Magazine. “Once the job seeker has got the feel of reality, then he is in a position to move on to his own higher problem of a living and a career. “But the real world is a tough place to jump into cold,” he concludes. “It’s tackled best by the youth who has warmed to the task of finding a job— by getting his running start first. Bright youngsters are beginning to learn the importance of changing the old saying ‘Well d(one is half done’ to ‘Early begun is half done.’ “Time and time again young people now in jobs tell me that summer and va cation work during their school years has been of inestimable value,” Dr. Pit kin points out. “Thus a young engineer who writes me that in his opinion one of the greatest problems confronting a be ginner is his ability to understand what will be expected of him in his first posi tion. For that reason I would suggest that one secure all of the experience he can by working in various kinds of jobs while in school. They help him to get ‘the feel of the shop.’ ” Citing instances in which ambitious and energetic young men accepted jobs with little or no pay to get this running start. Dr. Pitkin insists that many of them may land permanent jobs as the result of their volunteer work. The young man who says, “I'll work for you Ifor nothing; it’s better for me than loafing aijound home,” is the one who will get the experience in the real world which will enable him to get a running start as he starts in life, he maintains. ' 7'^ fc.CUHJPU (Manager Jenkins Hardvwe Co.) A funny bird, the oatrtcta. iAs the story goes—f ticks hH bead in the sand when danger is apr proaching. What he can't see doesn’t bother him. We may’ laugh at the bird’s weird. notion—but' we shouldn’t laugh too hard. There are a lot of us who don’t feel concerned with things we‘ can’t see. Roofs, for Instance: Housing experis tell us that 7 out of It) property own ers neglect their roofs and court trouole by risking large repair bills. Nobody expects us to go prowl ing around flashings and down spouts. ourselves to check up on our roofs. It isn’t healthy. But it isn’t healthy for our" roofs either not to have them inspected an nually. Of course if we want to wait until rain drives through a leak ing roof, streaks walls, rote framework, causes plaster t o fall, it’s our own business. But it’s bad business as far as our pocketbooks are concerned. Par ticularly BO these days when there are all uorts of convenient pay- by-the-month plans to simplify the flnaneing of the work. Pro tecting your property—maintain ing its value—is the acme of good business as any banker will tell you. Furthermore, if a property is being offered for sale, the roof is the first thing the canny real estate buyer Inquires about. Con sequently, it behooves us to be roof-conscious and to inform our selves about roofs and their care. There are almost as many kinds of roofs as you can shake a stick at—if you’re fond of shaking sticks. But all of them- whether they’re wood, asphalt or asbestos shingle, slate, tile, met al, tar and gravel, concrete or canvas—need to be looked out for, if they’re to look out for you. To talk about wood shingles, for instance—did you know that wood shingles badly in need of paint, have a tendency to curl up and blow away? Shingles in this condition create a great fire haz ard and also permit destructive moisture to enter. In re-coating shingled roofs, remember that paint can be applied over stain, but that it doesn’t work the other way—stain can’t be used over paint. When new shingles are being applied, they should be dipped in a .shingle stain or painted before they are set in place.
