Lions Horse Show
The North Wilkesboro Lions Club this
year has taken on a big undertaking which
is destined to be highly successful because
of the great amount of work the members
are putting into it.
This year the club is staging a two-day
horse show, which will be held at the
Wilkesboro school athletic field Wednes
day and Thursday, July 3 and 4, both
afternoon and night.
The Lions Club is putting on the horse
show for two very good reasons—^to raise
money to carry on the club’s activities for
the welfare and progress of this commun
ity, and to provide the people of North
western North Carolina a splendid sum
mer sports event.
Horse lovers from many parts of North
Carolina and from neighboring states will
• converge on the Wilkesboros this week,
bringing with them some of the nation’s
finest horses. It is also interesting and
noteworthy that there are several local
horses of distinction which will be shown
in the various classes of the show.
The Lions Club deserves the public’s
commendation and support in the horse
^^^ow endeavor. It shows initiative on the
part of the civic organization which is
earning a reputation as a working club
which does not hesitate to do whatever
work is necessary to put a project over
successfully.
We sincerely hope that all who can will
attend the horse show this week, and thus
back up the club which has taken on a
big job and is doing well with it.

Thoughtful merchants recognize
sharp and abrupt price increases
ammunition in the hands of the “perma
nent control advocates’* to extend their
hold over production and sale of goods.
In the normal course of events as produc
tion costs increase, the , retail price of
goods advances proportionately step by
step. . But in order to justify price regu
lation, noraial advances in retail prices
based on production costs have been de
layed by catch phrases such as “hold the
line’’ orders, “cost absorption’’ orders, etc.
When the prices of milk, butter and
cheese should have been rising, they were
held stationary and the farmer was paid
subsidies to make the people think that
living costs were actually being held
down. But adjustment in prices is as in
evitable as is the fact that a flowing
stream will eventually go over the highest
dam. The longer the delay in price ad
justments, the greater will be the increas
es when they come. That is why it was
finally necessary for OPA to increase but
ter 11c a pound and cheddar cheese 6c
a pound in one order. These products had
been underpriced so long that they had
practically disappeared from the market.
No one likes high prices but retail prices
most follow wages, tax increases, and oth
er costs of production as surely as night
follows day. Long impounded prices are
now going over the top of the price con
trol dam. No matter how much advocates
o* permanent price control try to blame
industry and the retailer for price increas-
'^es, they cannot stop the trend until the
cost of production stops rising. Either we
will pay what it costs to produce or wo
will not get production. You can pass a
law to price butter at. 25c a pound and
nylon stockings at 26c a pair, but you will
' jgei neither butter nor stockings. The regu-
' IntMB eaaaot do the impossible any more

For after all Dan’l was an indifferent
farmer at best and did not think enough
of the upper Yadkin valley to stick around
for longer than to give Maj. Joseph Hamp
ton Rich a trail to follow.
The question is one of the best manner
in which to control floods on the Yadkin
and Pee Dee, and that cannot be reached
without constructing some dams. How
many and where to put them will call for
considerable figuring and this iriay be
properly attended by open discussion;
but let’s not make a point of how either
the late Mr. Booile or any of toe “b’ars’’
he “cilled’’ would have liked the proposed

HONORABLE OLD AGE
It is great to live a long, useful life and
come to old age with God’s wonderful
blessings upon one’s soul, along with the
honor and respect of mankind upon one’s
life. God honors and blesses tho^ who
fear Him and makes their lives a blessing
to the world. Here is a wonderful, beauti
ful promise to toe child of God: “With
long life will I satisfy him, and show hm
hot for comfort.

The mas had lived In the oom-
muiUty for a number of years
and had' the reputation of being
deaf aod dumb. Hs never 'was
known to say a word -aven In re
ply to questions.
Then one day he was down by
the railroad tracks when a loco
motive came along as his boss
was standing on the tracks, his
back to the approaching engine.
Supposed Mute (shouting)—
Hey, boss. Get off tse tracks,
there’s a train coming!
The Boss came over to thank
the mute.
Boss—But why have you nev

Supposed Mute—Just never
had nothing to say before.
WHO HE WAS—
An example of youthful pes
simism was provided by a local
youngster who was about to take
his first bus Journey the other
day. His mother told him to
write his name and address on
a card and keep It In his pocket,
in case anything happened.
This is what he wrote: “In
case of an accident, this was
Johnny Jones.”
