THURSDAY, OCT. 13, 1938 Selfish Purposes The liquor industry', since making headway in getting its disastrous prod ucts across legally to people of a big majority of the states and some of the counties in this state, puts an a sancti fied face in advertising the virtues of moderation. ‘There is something comic about a Srroup which spends great sums to ad vertise the virtues of moderation and then breaks the backs of its representa tives to make them meet impossible sales quotas. There is no moderation on the part of distillers,” Gene Tunney, form er heavyweight champion of the boxing world, said recently. The distilling industry knows that the one way to increase its profits is to in crease the volume used and that the most effective increase would be through breaking down of temperance. They know that if a man is a moderate drink er, only consuming a pint or so a week, and can be induced to become a drunk ard drinking a gallon or two each week that their sales, and profits, will grow. For them to advertise moderation and at the same time press sales is the height of hypocrisy. Artists have really outdone them selves in color magazine advertisements to make liquor look attractive and to put a fine sheep’s garment on a wolf. The liquor producers know that if wo men can be attracted to what they call moderate drinking that there soon be a double-size army of “soaks” and “sots” to buy their products and to bring dol lars to their bank rolls. A person who has a strong will and who controls other habits and passions may fall victim to drink after taking a cocktails as a .stimulant. Altogeth er too often liquor controls the individ ual in.stead of the individual controling liquor. We Still Need More Gold^ The old saying that gold is where yon find it has received fresh proof by the opening of a new gold mining region on the shores of Lake Mead in Nevada. If you don't recognize Lake Mead by the name, it is the great new artificial res ervoir in Boulder Canyon created by the building otf the Hoover Dam. The gold has been there always, but nobody could get to it until the water impounded by the dam rose high enough so that boats could reach the previously inaccessible slopes of the .steep moun tains bordering the canyon. Now a real “gold rush” has started, since a prospector in a motor-boat discovered a promising vein of gold-bearing rock a year or so ago. The new “strike” is known as the Gold Butte Mining District. 53 miles up Lake Mead from the dam. H gh grade ^pre is being shipped by barges towed by motor-boats, and is said to yield from to ?10 to the ton. 1 There is always something fa.scinat- iitg about news of a new’ gold strike. This one is especially interesting be cause it initiates a new way of making gold acce.ssible. It is novel as the meth ods now’ used in the island of New Gv.i- ana, w'here airplanes are used to b;-. the gold dow'n from the inaccessible mountain peaks, as well as to take ma chinery and miners up to the mines. The earth’s store of gold is, appar ently, very far from being exhausted. Not enough has been mined so far to satisfy the monetary demands of the world, w’hich now almost universally re gards gold as the only real money for the exchange of commodities between nations. The United States Treasury holds more than half of all the world’s jtock of monetary gold. If the other nations were as well suppUed, there would be .better assurance of peace and proaperi- yfy for everyone. Borrowed ConmiMtt CIDER IN THE FALL (Morganton News-Herald) The Gastonia Gazette sings the praise of a Richmond newspaper man, Thomas Lomax Hunter, who waxed eloquent, if not poetic, in a ribute to “Cider in the Fall” in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The cider “piece” will doubtless appeal to many old-timers. “I am rather sorry that the good old custom of making apple cider has fallen into disuse in our immediate midst There is something about a good beaker or two of hard' cider that when the frost is on the pumpkin which beer cannot supply. “There is more bite and authority in the hard cider. ’Tis a drink to put hair on your chest, as the saying is. I used to love to stand about the old cider mill when I was a small boy and drink the sweet jiuce fresh from the press. Cider that had fermented and grown hard bit my tongue and I hated it before the mel lowing years informed me. “Keats in his lovely ode to autumn sees the spirit of that season in many moods and poses. In one, ‘Or by a cider press with patient look, thou watchest the last oozing hours by hours.” To W’hich the Gazette adds, along with other comment: “They talk about nectar, and ambro sia. A glass or two of this cold, clear amber cider is nectar enough for us.” ACHIEVEMENT TALKS By LUCIUS HUMPHREY Author of “It Shall Be Done Unto You” Whether we know it or not, we are all continually creating. Every thought, every plan weaves new threads into the fabric ofour future. A famous scientist has said that the only logical conception of the universe is an Infinite Mind, in which “everything is a thought.” Thought is the creative activity of the Infinite Mind—and man thinks. In the statements that in the “begin ning was God,” and that Man is made “in the image and likeness of God,” we learn that Man combines within himself all the elements of the Creative Princi ple. Thu.s, through our thinking, we can create conditions of W’ant, evil, de spair, or build lives of increa.sing power. You will see, therefore, how impor tant it is to think constructively. No matter what failures you have know’n in the past, no matter w’hat fears have af flicted you, the one way out lies in changing your thoughts. ou must al- w’ays think your way out, before you can act your w'ay out. To control our thoughts and use the creative pow’er effectively we musf un derstand three important phases of the mind. First, the Higher Intelligence, the God Mind, unlimited in power and possibilities. All successful men and women, consciously or unconsciously, tap this Mind, bringing into this w’orld much of its radiant newness. At the other end of the scale is the Habitual Mind, a product of, and yet a part of God Mind, but limited in possi bilities. This is the everyday mind which we use in transacting our busi ness, planning our dinners, and in all the outward activities of our lives. Between these two, the God Mind and the Habitual Mind, lies a third—the Christ mind, which serves as the link be tween the other two, connecting the Ha bitual Mind with the God Mind, making the three one Mind. This united Mind \vas the consciousness of Jesus. The Christ Mind is at all times conscious of the unlimited power and ability of the God Mind to produce super-ideas. At the same time, it is conscious of the lim itations of the Habitual Mind and con scious also of self, of its own power and ability to understand these other two mind phases. Our consciousness of these three mind phases becomes for us the unlimited source of ideas. Once we possess this knowledge, that which is es sential is how to use the creative pro cesses of our minds to fulfill our desires. It thus becomes important to know how the thinking of the Christ-Mind differs from that of the Habitual Mind. The Habitual Mind is full of fear and uncertainty—the Christ Mind is divine ly certain of itself and of its creative power. Therefore, if you wish con sciously to build your life, dominate and control your thinking which pertains alone to the Habitual Mind, learn to unite this with the strong, victorious thoughts which are the natural attri butes of the Christ Mind. ■IL SS MAMIE SOCKWnLL, Editor TelephoBe Sll Rev. and Mrs. Aycock Hosts At Barbecue Supper Rev. and Mrs. A.
