Shelbians heard the pa thetic stories of dead and wounded, of wreck ed homes and ruined businesses, of exposure and privation, which followed in the wake of the tornado and opened their purses for gen erous gifts, many of them voluntary. And that was good. Now, seven months later, thousands of nek and underprivileged here in Shelby and Cleveland county ,are sending out their ap peal for help through workers in the Red Crocs roll call drive, and Shelby people have answered with only $800 of the $1,500 being asked. These people ask for only $100 more for public work in the county than was given eagerly and voluntarily last spring on an emergency call. If we fail to raise the re maining $700 asked for support of a Red Cross nurse and general public health pro gram in the county—that will not be so good. The lack of response met by Red Cross workers who have canvassed every home and business house, if not every individual, can not be explained by "hard times” or “I just haven’t got the money to spare.” Those ex cuses no longer hold water when people are again buying new cars and new clothes at al most a normal clip, when every Saturday sees dozens of parties off on gay trips to football games, and when crowds are regularly pack ing the motion picture theatres. Certainly no one will accuse Shelby folk of selfishness or lack of generosity. If they have failed to respond to the appeal of the local Red Cross it is simply a matter of thoughtlessness. They have not stopped to picture the approximately 12,000 people in Cleveland who are either victims or poten tial victims of tuberculosis, spending weary days in bed, knowing that they fight a los ing fight; of the poor and ignorant who are victims of dread social diseases; of young mothers, sick and weary, who know not the first principles of guarding their own and their child’s health before and after child birth. It is people like these, right in our midst, perhaps in the house two blocks behind our own, who would be helped by the public health program which the Red Cross hopes to sponsor with its $1,500, and their need is just as appealing as that of any victim of tornado or flood. THE ELECTION FIGURES ANALYZED There has been much discussion in the newspapers relating to the result of the elec tion, and especially the fact that President koosevelt received such an overwhelming majority in North Carolina, and the further fact that Mr. Hoey did not receive as great majority as the other nominees on the State ticket. It seems to us that both of these statements are easily understandable. In the first place, President Roosevelt received a larger vote in all of the other States than the Democratic nominees for Governor received, which was evidently due to the fact that a large number of people who were nominally Republicans voted for Roose velt for President but voted the Republican ticket in State matters. North Carolina was no exception to this. President Roosevelt received a little over 74,000 more votes in! North Carolina than Mr. Hoey, but his lead I over the nominees in the other States was greater proportionately than the vote in j North Carolina. Mr. Hoey led President Roosevelt in nine counties in North Carolina, to wit: Ashe, Avery, Carteret, Henderson. Madison, Perquimans, Polk, Transylvania and Watauga, seven of these counties being in the west and two in the East. It is interesting to analyze the State vote. It will be seen that Mr. Hoey ran something over 20,000 votes behind the other State nominees, which was unquestionably the result of scratching occasioned by the heated primary contests. This is evidenced by the fact that, in those localities where the opposition was strongest against Mr. Hoey in the primary, the scratching was more ex tensive in the election. This is not unusual in any hotly contested primary fight. The same thing occurred with Senator Reynolds in the general election following his defeat •# Senator Morrison in 1932, when Senator Reynolds fell behind the remainder of the State ticket by a larger number of votes than obtained in the case of Mr. Hoey. There is one rather remarkable phase of this situation which has not been mentioned in the various discussions, and that is that Mr. Hoey received more votes in his race for Governor than was ever given any other can didate for Governor in all the history of North Carolina. In addition to this, he re ceived more than 25,000 more votes than were cast in the primary for McDonald, Gra ham and Hoey all combined, which is like wise a most unusual result. For instance, in the first primary, when the largest vote was polled. McDonald, Graham and Hoey re ! reived a total of 516,873 votes, whereas, Hoey received on November 3, a total of 542, 139 votes, which^exceeded the total vote of all three primary candidates by more than j 25,000 votes. Mr. Hoey’s majority over Gil !liam Grissom tvas 271,296, which is quite suf ficient and is in line with the tremendous to |tal vote cast in this election, which broke all j former records. What Other Papers Say WHY STRIKES FAIL (Union Times) Strikes tail on tlie picket line, under the present set up of organized labor. Nobody denies the right of the individual workers to combine with other indi vidual workers for mutual protection and profit. No body denies the right of such organizations to strike. The law goes still further and allows ‘‘peaceful pick eting." And right there is the milk in the cocoanut. Can there be any such thing as "peaceful picketing1* Not if the picketing is to be effective. To be effective it must use force or abusive language or massed block ade, itself a lawless act. How many people do you suppose a peaceful picket would keep out of a mill where the people desired to work? And when force, in the shape of threats, abusive words or actual phy sical violence, is used does not that mean the same thing as taking over the functions of the state, be coming a sort of superstate? So it seems to us. There fore, organized labor will have to assume a different attitude at the picket gate. They will have to be gov erned by law, same as other individuals and groups, nnd that’s about all that need be said about it. Regu I mriy cuiitsiiiuLeu raws, io meet, ineir maius, 11 not al ready upon the statute books, should be enacted and placed there. And the laws must be Impartial, just and fair to all. They must admit the right to work where a man prefers to work, rather than strike. They must clearly define the rights of all parties and be enforced in all fairness. Is there anything wrong with the above reasoning. An official of the American Automobile associa tion suggests that a girl try out her fiance in a traf fic jam before she takes the fatal step. A good idea, at that. If he drives with care and keeps his mind on his work he. doesn’t love her much.—The New Yorker. A sociologist says the best thing for insane per sons to do is to work hard.

She has been a stu dent under both Dr. and Mrs. Cur ry of Boston, Mr. Clark of Chicago University, and other distinguish ed teachers. EASTERN METHODISTS BEGIN CONFERENCE 1NC.W m»v. <su.—',/rj—xuc 100th annual North Carolina con ference of tire Methodist Episcopal Church, South, opened here yester day. The initial session was devoted to a memorial service for ministers and their widows who have died during the year. The afternoon sermon was pjeached by Dr. George Stoves of Memphis. Tenn.. and Walter Towner, secretary of the Board of Christian Education, will speak. and Senator Walsh of Massachus etts stepped immediately into the naval affairs chairmanship vacated by Senator Trammell. Senator Black of Alabama succeeded Walsh a^ labor chairman. All Democrats Perhaps it is needless to mention j it, but all these chairmen are Dem-1 ocrats, Xi seniority governed entire-' ly, such veteran Republicans as: Capper of Kansas, McNary of Ore- 1 gon. Borah of Idaho. Johnson oi j California, Norbeck of South Dako ta and others would head many senate committees, and a few sen ior Republicans have survived in the house who would outrank many a Democratic chairman. But it is a good guess the Repub licans’ chance will not come in the senate, at any rate, until four to six years hence A Three Days* Cough Is Your Danger Signal No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial irritation.'you can get relief now with Creomulsion.
