We felt especially close to him because he was a Star carrier and a Boy Scout who liv ed ap to the principles of scouting. Albert was courteous, dependable, thrif ty and a bright-faced likeable lad who cam manded the respect of his playmates and his elders. With fine training in home, Sunday school and the scout troop, Albert possessed fine traits of character and we drop a tear with his family and friends that his life should be snatched so quickly and at such a tender age. With us only 14 years he typi fied the teachings of scouting and we feel sure he has joined the Great Master’s heav enly troop. SOCIAL SECURITY Employers are beginning to make out records of employes for the new social se curity program. There will be some confus ion; some people will get all mixed up be cause employes, as well, are asked to keep a permanent record of their employment and a card with a permanent number is to be as signed each worker. There need be no alarm over the red tape. The government, by necessity must act in ponderous manner but, as many veter ans who lost their discharges can verify, ef forts are made to co-operate when records are lost and while time !r required there is no danger of total loss. Just the same, every worker should hang on to his card. INTO REAL PROBLEMS Federal crop reduction and insurance— these are the sort of things the Roosevelt ad ministration is thinking of these days. This is a far cry from administrations which were interested only in those matters involving the welfare of big business, large industrial ists and financial interests. That the farm problems cannot be work ed out immediately is as well known to the President as to the general public but the start has been made. Mistakes will occur and when they do, admission of the fact will come quickly and a new way will be tried. This attitude about public matters, frank ness toward the general public about matters of general interest, a willingness to argue the point and an attitude of changing tactics when results were not obtained at first, is one that has made of the President a hero to the average American and election re turns Indicated there are a lot of average Americans. VISITATION DAY Parents of the hundreds of children who crowd the city schools of Shelby are being ex tended special invitation this week tp visit the schools; to see the school home where the child spends more than half his active hours, to make contact with the teacher, who guides and moulds him during those hours, and to observe the child and his teach er at work together. Visitation day, particularly emphasized during American Education week, has be come an annual rite in schools throughout the country, and school visiting is being en couraged at all times. And this is an encouraging sign. Wheth er school systems generally are being mark ed by advance or lack of advance, here, in one small corner of the system, at least, is progress. The primary purpose of education is the good, measured in terms of happiness and general adjustment to his fellows, which comes to the individual child. With every visit paid by a parent to the school attended by her child, that child’s chances of happy adjustment to his school life and, hence, his future life, are increased. Increased be cause the teacher who knows her pupil’s mother, his background, and his* possibilities metes out to that pupil dividends in consider ation and special attention. Let every parent, interested in the child’s welfare, take advantage of visitation day this week. MORE AND BETTER CARS America is rolling along on rubber wheels with a motor car registration for every seventh person in the country. In no other nations of the world are there so many motor cars. They can’t afford them. Motor SUN in the other mors civilized nations are beyond the means of the masses. Here in this country we have only a small percentage of people whose incomes and ambitions provide some way to own a car. No longer is a motor vehicle consider ed a luxury. It’s the fourth essential of life. At this time when automobile manufac turers are bringing out their 1936 models, it is interesting to note that when we buy a new car nowadays, we can’t complain that the dollar doesn’t <jo its full duty. Mass pro duction has not only brought down the price, hut scientific research has produced cars that are far ahead in refinements and per formance of those offered five, ten and twenty years ago. The United States News has compared the 1928 retail price of 3,250,000 auto mobiles with the same number in 1936 and finds that the motorists enjoyed a saving of $637,000,000 on those bought this year and those bought eight years ago. In addition to this, the cars are much more comfortable and substantial. This year the manufacturers are em phasizing safety and economy. Safety glass and steel bodies, hydraulic brakes and other improvements make the cars of today safer than ever before. The danger is in their handling. What Other Papers Say PROGRESS (News and Observer) Last week before teachers In Raleigh there was a discussion of the question: Has North Carolina made pfog^ess in education in the last century? That is an interesting question but one not half so Important as the query: Is there any room fear improvement in education in North Carolina today? This last question has the virtue of being far more easily answered. Consider the facts: Only South Carolina exceeds this State In the percentage of its population enrolled in the public schools. The percentages are: in the nation, 33 per cent; in South Carolina, 31 per cent; in North Caro lina. 30 per cent. North Carolina's teaching load is 33.7 pupils per teacher, the highest in the United States. The na tional average is 36.0. North Carolina’s average teacher's salary is $576 (white, $604 fO) as compared with a national average of $1,227. North Carolina's per capita school cost is $28.56, as compared with a national average of $78.58. North Carolina’s percentage of white illiteracy is ] the highest in the United States, except for Kentucky. North Carolina’s length of term in days is 160 as compared with a national average of 171.6. Is there room for progress in education in North Carolina? There is only one answer to that ques tion unless the people of North Carolina are not only Incapable of progress but even Incapable of under standing Its need.

WASHINGTON.—Justices of the upreme court undoubtedly are the most isolated individuals in Wash ington. Whether they have cut themselves off too well from the public is much debated these days. Traditional ly. they have kept themselves remov ed from the toil 1 and moil of tem : porary drifts. About the only time the average person catches a glimpse of the su preme court mem bers is when they are sitting on the MISTON L GKOVET bench delivering opinions or listen ing to arguments. The justices are driven into the garage in the basement of the mas sive marble structure that encloses the small courtroom, take a private elevator upstairs and enter the rob ing room far removed from the public eye. Having donned their black robes, they march silently into the cham ber. They eat their lunch in a pri vate dining room and when the day’s work is over leave the build ing as they entered. Their participation in social ac tivities at night also is limited. Much of their time after dark is devoted to their work > They Don't Like It A little questioning here ami there develops that some of the justices are a bit crochety. There are little whimsies about dress, about office arrangements, lighting fixture* and seats that keep attendants some where between a smile and a jitter. With scarcely an exception they seem to dislike then $11,000,000 new building. As far as these nine jus tices are concerned, much of the in vestment is sheer waste. It is a gor j geo us pile, inside and out, but it wasn’t built to fit them. Each has a handsome suite of of fices in the building, but seven of the nine never hang their hats in side, nor do their secretaries. Jus tices Sutherland and Roberts use their offices by day, but work at home at night. The others do all their work at home save when they are on the bench, which is a small portion of their time. • • • • No Snap For Aides Bach has a large library at home, supplied by the government, and there they work, with a law clerk (graduate lawyer) and a stenogra pher. Being handy man to a justice is no snap at times. He may call his clerk and stenographer for duty at 8 a. m„ work until time to leave home for court at noon, then go to work again after the four-hour ses sion. Or he may ask his help to show up at 11 p. m. and work on through until daylight Once I hr C4i.se is in llic hands oi the justices the procedure oi thr DOUBLE PARADE DUE TO DELAY gion Officer* Went Ahead In Courtesy To Horse Show Shelby's double Armistice day pa rade was due to delay of the Greenville, S. C„ musical organiza tions in reaching the city. Since the horse show' was sup posed to start immediately after the parade, legion officials decided to go ahead with the parade upon receipt of information that the band and drum and bugle corps would be delayed, so the crowd would not be kept away from the horse show at the fairgrounds. Upon their arrival in the city the crack outfits from Greenville, the championship Legion drum and bugle corps and the Municipal band gave a concert on the court square and then paraded around the square. Labor Laws Must Be Uniform In U. S. WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.— t/Pi — Major A. L. Fletcher, North Caro lina labor commissioner, said to day the adoption of uniform labor laws by all states was necessary to the stabilization of business. Addressing the third national conference on labor legislation, Fletcher said: “I think we have got to have uniform labor legislation in thi# country to put all plovers on the same basis. We have got to reach that objective If business is to be stabilized.” He said he thought the confer ences here had done much toward attainment of this objective. He reported North Carolina, as a re sult of the exchange of ideas among \ state labor leaders, had establish ed a state employment service and explained its workmens’ compensa tion act to include occupational diseases. Fletcher said a four-point labor legislation program would be pres ented to the 1937 North Carolina legislature, proposing a child labor law increasing the age limit for children in industry from 14 to 16 years; a 48-hour work law for men and women; a small wage collec tion act, and unemployment insur ance under the social security act. He said he did not contemplate asking for a minimum wage law in view of the Supreme court’s adverse decision on the New York law. BAILEY HOME ROBBER IS AGAIN IN JAIL HENDERSON.

Bailey, was recaptured here. court is the acme of simplicity. Red tape ends. No welter of bureaus stands ready to filter the justices' views. However, it does seem at times the justice- have difficulty agree ing among themselves. Their dif ferences have made a IqI of recent history. HOW'S i/am HEALTH m fituih Or. Uf (jaMii— ifc» Nup Y«* \cademy * Matom Kidney And Bladder Stones Recognition of the fact that the urinary bladder may be affected by the presence within it of a stone or stones dates from the early times of antiquity. The frequent presence of stone formations in the kidney proper and in various portions of the funnel and tube-like channel which leads from the kidney to the bladder, Is a more recent observa tion. Operation for the removal of bladder and kidney stones has be come a highly developed and per fected surgical procedure. But sur gery does not avail to solve the whole problem, for to begin with there is ever present the risk of the formation of other stones with in the affected organs, and medi cine, of course, is deeply interested in the prevention of both the pri mary and secondary stone forma tion Much thought and study have been of late devoted to the origin of kidney and bladder stones, and an appreciable amfi<it of progress ! has been made in our understand I ing of this condition. In the blad | der, stones are likely to form when it is affected by a variety of path ologic conditions. Among these are included such conditions as urine retention due to prostatic enlarge ment, abnormalities in the contour and formation of the bladder, fis tula. ulcers and tumors. In various ways these abnormal ! conditions contribute to the forma tion of bladder stones which are likely to form as long as the un derlying pathology remains. I The theories advanced to explain the formation of stones in the kid ' ney proper are a little more intri j cate, but are related to those which are held to account for stone for ‘ mation in the bladder. Of out ! standing interest is the so-called ! dietary theory of stone formation. i Experimentally it has been demon strated that animals ordinarily ! free from kidney stone formation can be made to suffer this condi ! tion by being fed a diet deficient in vitamin A. Apparently the vita min A deficiency causes a degener ation of the lining cells of the urin ary system, rendering them sus ceptible to infection. The infection | in turn upsets the chemical balanc es normal in the kidney excretions and favors the precipitation of in j soluble salts which form the stones. 1 Added to vitamin A deficiency and ! infection is the factor of obstruc tion in the urinary outlet, which causes Urine stagnation. These three conditions entirely account for the formation of kidney stones, undoubtedly play an Important role and are significant from a preven tive viewpoint. LET Rogers Motors - REFINANCE YOUR CAR — CASH WAITING - > UNIONS BEGIN MEMBER DRIVE WASHINGTON. Nov. 12.—(/Py— Seizing upon this poet-election per iod as the psychological time to press for new. gains, union labor has increased its efforts to bring thous ands upon thousands of non-union workers into its fold. New demands for a constitutional amendment giving the federal gov ernment authority over such prob lems as wages and working hours also were heard. The International Ladies Gar ment Workers placed $500,000 at the disposal of their president, David Dubinsky, for a drive to unionize 90,000 non-union garments workers. The unions executive board ad vocated constitutional amendment so congress could “legislate for the protection and advancement 0( ^ wage earning masses " Prom the president of the Unit ed Textile Workers, Thomas F u Mahon, came a proclamation' Z,' tag all textile workers “to organ,™ their forces in the demand for Wa increase, reduction of hours and m' proved conditions of employ-mem"' The garment workers are affi iated with the John L.
