The power project has already been ap proved and Federal money is earmarked for this particular use—$132,300 of it. Lodged in the FWA office in Washington is our ap plication for a $95,757 grant for a new High School building. This has had every approv al and endorsement except the final ok of the administrator. Local sentiment seems to favor the high school rather than the power plant and we believe the officials in Washington would be only too glad to trade with us, especially since it will save the government $26,500. Certainly a new high school building would be of greater benefit to the future manhood and womanhood of our community in afford ing an adequate power house for building character and mentality. These are worth inestimably more than the dollars we might save in electric bills. And there is quitt some doubt that we would be saving any thing on the cost of power after we have in vested $145,000 of our own money and $132, 600 grant from the government. It is a trade that looks good, both for us and the government and we should be in agreement on the proposal. NOVEMBER 3. DECISION DAY Tomorrow is decision day. The elector torate of this great nation will choose their chief executive for the next four years. That is an important step in the lives of every man. woman and child and it behooves every eligible voter to go to the polls and ex ercise their best judgment. There are no particular Issues in this campaign. The great Roosevelt, with a heart bleeding for a suffering people, took drastic steps to remedy a bad situation. And he did. Who will say that political power does not directly touch the lives of every individual? Under Hoover, nothing was done. Under Roosevelt, hungry bodies were fed, mortgag ed homes were saved from the auctioneer’s hammer, suffering farmers saw their pro ducts restored to living prices, public educa tion. public health, public works were en couraged. From a state of misery, despondency and hopelessness, we have emerged to a hap py state. The employment list has been re duced, mills and factories are running full speed, farm prices are up and everybody is happy. Yes, it is important that the man and men who guide the destinies of this na tion, politically and economically, have sym pathy for mankind and a desire to serve the masses rather than the classes or favored few. Here in North Carolina, we have exper ienced phenomenal progress during the 30 years of Democratic rule. Today we are en joying more of the privileges and blessings of government than ever before and the par ty offers Clyde R. Hoey to guide out future destinies. He is a man whom we here in Cleveland know and love for his fine attrib utes of character, his superb mental attain ments and matchless leadership. His heart is attuned to that of the great Roosevelt and under his direction this state will continue to march ahead. Don’t stay away from the polls because you know that Mr. Hoey will win. A sweep ing victory at your hands will indicate that you approve of his program of progress and serve to strengthen him in his endeavors for a “more abundant life.” THE ERICSON INCIDENT Prof. Ericson, teacher of English at the University of North Carolina had a right to dine with a negro at a Durham hotel if he chooses, but his apparent sympathy for com munistic preachments is inexcusable. While he was acting within his rights as a private citizen-to place himself on social parity with a negro candidate for vice-president, he act ed most unwisely and indiscreetly. Such manifest sympathy for Communism in this and past acts on th« part of Prof Ericson is contrary to the very principles upon which this government is founded, and the citizens of the state resent it. A man who has sense enough to hold j Ph D. degree and draw his liviwg from th< ' tax payers of North Carolina should have sense enough to adhere to common purposes and ideals of our people. The doctor lays he I is a Socialist sympathizer. That isn't so bad, but when he shows a manifest sympathy for Communism, a Russian ism that tears down churches and dismembers homes, he is lend ing aid as a public official to things which undermine our form of government.

MOKE ABOUT TRUANTS (Gastonia Gazette) Since so many folks had been talking about Mm number of truant school boys on the streets of the city. The Gazette decided to do a bit of sleuthing on its own account around the streets of Gastonia. It has found that there are a number of small boys loafing around who ought to be in school, and giving no excuse for not being there. Furthermore, 'this item from yesterday’s paper tells what the truant boys are doing, in the majority of cases: “Three small boys were apprehended by local po lice yesterday and charged with breaking and enter ing the Piedmont Iron Works, and stealing from this plant several aluminum castings and patterns, valued by company officials at $180. “The three boys were confined to the city Jail to await trial, possibly at Wednesday morning's session of city court. They will come under the Juvenile Jur isdiction since the oldest one is only 18 years old and the youngest 11. The age of the third la not known, however he appears to be about the same as the other two.” We are again asking the question and expecting school authorities to answer; whose duty Is it to see that these truant boys are Ik school. There is a compulsory school attendance law in North Carolina Whose duty is it to enforce it? Nobody's Business ~ By GEE McGEE MI-LADY’S FALL BEAD-GEAR ..The women are wearing their new Fell hats, and, believe me they are a scream. There seems to be • different and distinct styles'this season, as foHows: (the few tea-cup styles are not included in this set up.) 1—The pan-cake type to the Mto impressive. Thto ■hape look* exactly like a pan-oaka with a artopy piece of breakfast bacon lying on top of M. •oma at them appear to have a bite or two nibbled off the front and bade edges. Priced: Cash, MM Install ment price. $6,000. balance at $(. per month to 6 ; months. 1—The waffle deaign hat kwhs slightly Mhe a hat. its trimming consists of something that reoemblss a dough-nut plastered on the flat orown with a tooth pick and a tail-feather poking east and west to hold it down. The brim and the crown ate the same height. Thto kat looked better if hung upright on the ' back of the head. Down payment, $7.96. balance on easy terms. Cash price $6.49. 3—Saucer model to the same stoe as a earner, but i it is worn upside down. It fits ths bead exactly like a postage stamp fits an orange. The trimming to unique and appears to be a cross betwixt a butterfly wing and a doodle hole which is perched immediate ly above the left ear. It seeaos that this pattern has a few nitches chipped off as if the man had been drinking coffee out of it and bit it occasionally. Pric ed, cash—$8.79, no terms. 4—The dish-rag ensomble is the most stunning It is made by mashing a dirty dish-rag straight down to the thickness of a custard plate: all of the fraxded edges are left on. This is the largest hat of the sea son and is intended for women over 50 who claim that they are under 35. It comes on]f in brown, and sells for around $15.57. cash. « know > 5—Type of hat number 5 is exactly like one-half of the pan-cake and one-half of the waffle model, eut in two and stitched together Its trimming is t beads ■ on one side and 1 bead on the other side, with a ea ! nary wing-feather stuck in top of it. C—This hat is worn by rich folks only. It looks Uka a coffee cake that had been sat upon. Its gaudy trim ming is a back bow of ribbon about the sise of a dirt dauber's wings affixed to the right side near the large ear-bobs that must be worn with this pattern, ac cording to Paris. AH the women wearing these hats so far. according to my eyesight, are about *5 per njcent bare-headed. What will they not wear if its el stylish? (Ans: Nothing). i “CEASE FIRING! Today’s m SMALL TALK 1 "' By MRS. RENN DRUM w.w.v. MISS JO SHAW, COMMERCIAL TEACHER IN THE Lo cal high school, in going through some old files, has found some school papers which date back about twenty-five years and among them are two sheets, which were apparently sent uo tot parents, proposing a system of "home work” and school credits to be given therefor. On* of the sheets present* the object end expected value of the plan and the other lists the home work which pupils are to report am and the credits which the school will give. Both are highly Interest ing and, despite the fact that they were proposed for the 1911 model youngster, sound like hot stuff for i9se. • • • • Here's how the school heads ap proached the parents * with the plan: "The object of adding this de partment to our public schools is to secure a closer co-operation be tween the home and the school. The plan Is not new. BOr several years many of the progressive schools of the country have been using it, and, without an exception, good results have always followed its use. M is just as Important to train a child to work as It Is to teach him algebra and Latin. (IU sag it Is.) Slavery placed its stigma upon labor, and it i t ~ every trainer et children to help erase this stigma. school, by giving credit for home woek, ean dignify labor. ‘Habit is second nature.* Some bright chil dren with alert minds can get through school without forming the habit of industry. (Tes, Lawd). Thus we find many failures in life among thoae who make high grades in sobool and ooHege. They have failed because they did not learn to dig (Dae right.) Most occupations demand morg than an inquiring attitude of mind. (You're tellin’ mat) “Again, neatness end personal oars are habits that mean much to anyone. Some grown people cannot help being neat; others cannot be neat, no matter how much they try. Why? Habits formed when young “It is earnestly requested that all parents co-operate with the school in this effort. It will be necessary for the success of the plan to have parents report daily In the lower grades and weekly in the upper grades the quantity and quality of work done.

Splendid Growth The Economy Motor Store will about January l move It* location to the apace In the Royster build in* now occupied by C. H. Rein hardt’s Grocery store, it was learn ed today. The store is being mov ed, says J. F. Buff, manager, on account of necessity of Increased space due to good business. From now until the motor store is moved to the Reinhardt location it will be used by the Honeycutt Reavis Furniture store. About Jan uary 1, the furniture store will be moved into the space in the Roys ter building occupied by the Clark Hardware company. The hardware company, about January 1, is to be moved across the street into the J. D. Lineberger building now occu pied by C. H. Shull. Mr. Shull has as yet announced no decisions to 1 where he will move. Business has almost doubled with the Economy Motor store, Mr. Buff says, and he is adding three de partments, which will, in his opln 1 ion even further increase the buai ! ness. The three departments to be added include a complete radio de partment, a replacement parts de partment for automobiles and a complete bicycle depot. Mr. Buff, a native of Cleveland county, was with the Goodrich company for 18 years prior to starting the store here not quite two years ago. He is aided in the store by Hugh Arrowood, O’Grady Francis, and Charles Callahan, all of whom are Cleveland men. London's artistic quarter is called Soho. Washington H Daybook By PUS TON GROVER (taHiaM Tnm Staff Writer) WASHINGTON.—When President Roosevelt told a New England aud ience that his administration had cut income taxes of the little man below 1932 levels lie shared laurels irom by another famous in years — Depres Baid Roosevelt: 'Any family head earns less $26,000 a a small income tax in L C90VIT1938 than In 1932. That means that . . . more than 99 per cent of American families are paying less than they did.” , Just how much less the 99 per centers are paying the president did not say. But the department of agriculture gives definite facts and figures on how much farm real es tate taxes were cut by the depres sion. • • • • Farm Taxes Cat Victims may ask: Can anything good come out of a depression? Usually, yes. For instance, a tax cut on farm real estate, forced upon state and local taxing bodies by irate farmers who can stir up righteous anger if tax bills fail to shrink when wheat hits 40 cents a bushel. ■Hie war period saw farm real es tate taxes almost double, depart ment of agriculture reports show. By 1939 another rise of 36 per cent brought taxes to 58 cents an acre average, highest in the nation’s history. After the crash farm taxes be gan to slide. By 1934 average farm real estate taxes were 37 cento an acre, a 36 per cent cut. The depart ment did not say that was the bot tom, but did say there was no fur ther drop ]n 1935. President Roosevelt said no new j federal taxes would be needed next session, that present revenue seem | ed to assure an early balance of the budget. • • • * Prospect* What is the prospect for farm real estate taxes? The department or agriculture commented that when | the federal government, through i relief and other agencies, began tak tag over the job of road building, one of the heaviest local burdens was eased, if, and when, the fed eral government unloads more road costs back upon state and local governments, somebody will have to put up the money.
