CANNY YANKEES
Suggestion is made that Vermont and
Maine, being in the summer resort business,
voted for Landon not because they wanted
him as President but because they wanted
summer visitors.
All summer resorts, winter, too, for that
matter, have to have some kind of rarity to
attract visitors. Therefore, it is believed by
some that the canny Yankees voted against
the rest of the country so summer visitors
can see the rare Republican in his native
habitat.
ANOTHER FIRST
Another North Carolina first, about
which We can’t brag, is that this state rank
ed first for the first six months of 1936 in
automobile fatalities.
Just what can be done to lower the
death and injury rate in the state is a ques
tion which has many angles. But it can sure
ly be decreased in some manner. Study of
how to do it is probably more up to highway
patrol authorities and police of towns and
counties than anybody else but there is a cer
tain definite responsibility on every car driv
er in the state.
Careful driving and more careful driv
ing is probably the answer to the greater
number of accidents.
REDISTRIBUTION
While no conclusions are drawn in com
ahttMlJjWW. showing where the na
fflfifiolfiTOne nbwgoes the Philadelphia Rec
ord is of the opinion there is considerable
significance in the fact that the greater per
centage is now going for wages and a small
er percentage for interest and dividends.
In 1929, these figures show, labor re
ceived 65.5 per cent of the total national in
come while 14.3 per cent was paid out in divi
dends and interest.
In 1935 labor’s share had risen to 67.3
per cent while dividends and interest had
dropped to 13.6 per cent.
The Record asks “Are we seeing a be
ginning of that sensible and fair distribution
of national income on which business pros
perity depends?”
STILL A CURIOSITY
Another feather in the cap of modern
science is the separation of Simplicio Godino
from his dead brother after the two had
been joined at the base of the spine for
twenty eight years. If Simplicio recovers
from the operation, which he bids fair to do,
as his wound, where the two bodies were
severed, is reported to be in “fine condition,”
it will'be the first case on record where Sia
mese twinB have been successful separated.
Prior to this time, in several instances,
when one of these rare pairs of twins died,
the other, even though he or she were in
good health, faced the fact that it meant
death for both, that one could live without
the other, as the attempt to separate such
twins had never before been successful.
It is an accomplishment which belongs
hi an age when quintuplets, the first ever to
$ve more than an hour, not only live but
thrive.
Simplicio, who with Lucio, was in Shel
by two months ago to appear at the county
fair, has made his living as a carnival freak.
He should now be even more of a curiosity.
There had been Siamese twins before the
Rodinos, but never before Simplicio has there
been a living half of Siamese twins.
THE SPECIAL SESSION
-Win North Carolina have a special ses
sion of the General Assembly before the reg
ularly scheduled session early in January?
A group, fearful that the Federal gov
ernment might collect two and a half mil
lions on payrolls for the Social Security fund
and hot pay off to North Carolina employees
has raised some fear in their minds. Hence,
it has been urged that Governor Ehringhaus
call a special session before Jan. 1st when
the time limit Bet by the Social Security act
expires, to ratify the Federal act and provide
a way to raise matching funds. The Gover
nor refused to call and he is right in his po
sition.
Congress convenes In January and will
most certainly grant an extension of time to
the states which are in the same plight as
North Carolina. A majority of the states in
the nation have not enacted the proper legis
lation to participate in the Social Security
benefits and the congressional delegations
from these commonwealth* have the power
to see to it that there is no discrimination.
Furthermore, it is not the disposition of the
Federal government to be unfair and dis
discriminatory about matter* which are of
such national import
We see no earthly need for a special ses
sion in North Carolina and commend Gover
nor Ehringhaus for hi* stand. All of this
talk about North Carolina losing the millions
which it will pay on Social Security levies is
pure bosh and Gov. Ehringhaus Is to be
praised for refusing to be stampeded into an
extra-session just as he refused when the to
bacco growers thought they would be ruined
without a tobacco compact.

DOCTOft. DO TOU THINK HI WILL UVT
(WIFB)
-K fell my Mum offloer to astost to putting on
• 6-day county fair a weak or eo ago. Oar attend
ance was about 175,000 persona. Including 174,066 dem
ocrat* 0 socialists. 10 communists, 10 republicans and
1 Liberty Leaguer. The fair was hold Just after the
election; only one party seemed to exist after that
....I used to think that pulling fodder to August and
running a saw mill in December and shocking oats
in July were the toughest Jobs ever invented for the
purpose of tormenting man. but helping to run a
county fair has got 'em all skint a block. I (and my
6 associates) worked 1 hours and 66 minutes per day
.... but being full of civic pride and hot dogs, we
didn’t mind it very much.
-Our fair was a howling success. Our fanners dis
played the best of everything from Ti-pound punklns
to 746-pound hogs. Kvery vegetable and fruit known
to this climate was there in aO its splendor and
glory. Kvery kind of knitted, crocheted, sewed and
quilted article this side of Japan was on display.
Pretty flowers brought up the rear.
-Our carnival (which is commonly 60 pswsct of
a county fair but not so in this case), carried every
type of amusement known to science. They had very
few games of chance; this was because we are a
church-going, pious people, and simply don't permit
such sinful contraptions. They had osw thing there
that somebody called “a game of chance," but after
watching the folks pitch their pennies at tboos plates
and saucers, I decided that it was not a game of
chance, as nobody had a chance to win anything.
-The fair started on Monday. By Tuesday night,
I had loet my sense of speech, yet X ate cough-drops
and took throat medicine every fifteen minutes. By
Wednesday night, X had lost my sense at hearing.
Thursday night found me minus ay sense of taste.
By Friday night, my sense of smell had disappeared.
Came Saturday night, and my sense of touch was
gone . . . and by Sunday morning, I had lost my
sense.
-1 missed Sabbath school and preaching and Wed
nesday night prayer-meeting because of that fair
trouble. I had 2 doctors and 1 vetemary surgeon with
me for S days. I had my lawyer come up and revise
my will. I disposed of most of my clothes to my poor
er relatives, but much to my chagrin and surprise, I
was able to report for duty at my office on Friday i
morning and am now feeling very well, I thank you:
how are you.

WA6HXNOTON.—After a month’s
tour. Senator Thomas of Oklahoma
has decided that Alaska is a good
Pacific defense,
useful as a safe
guard for seals,
rich in salmon
and large scale
mining, but no
place for dis
heartened m i d
westera farmers.
Thomas toured
Alaska In com
pany with Sena
tors Frasier of
North Dakota and
Shlprtead of Min
nesota. They were ItOTON U C*OVF
eonoerded with Indian welfare. A
trip to the noted Matanuska valley
settlement project was thrown in
as a sideline but turned out to be
one of their most Impressive ex
periences.
* *v •
Ssss Project Folding
Just how forcefully Thomas can
Impress oongresr with his findings
is problematical, but he Is against
spending much more money on
Matanuska. The project won't work,
is already folding up, he said, and
is valuable only In that it showed
that Alaska Is not a fit country for
farming.
When white-haired, red-faced
Senator Thomas has a subject on
his mind, he recites It to interview
vs almost ss If he had prepared
It as a lessen. Here are some of the
things he considered bad about Mat
anuska:
The sun shines practically 24
hours a day during July. Much of
tha rest of the year Is winter, or
nearly so. Garden crops mature so
fast under such a flood of sun
(from seed to table In two weeks)
that they are nothing much but
water. Radishes are flavorless as
iotdee. Potatoes wont keep. To per
mit storage, settlers have to heat
their potatoes to steam off some of
the water and that leaves them
shriveled and ugly, unmarketable.
Oats cant mature, the season is
■» shut, and when cut for hay
toms black, he says. The same with
Tb» ground is frozen for 600
(loot down, and thaws out only about
14 Inches during the short summer.
To an Oklahoman seasoned to much
heartening sunlight, that is just
like farming cm an iceberg.
He predicts the settlers wont j
stay, once the federal government!
stops paying far the roads, schools
and other civic needs. Already 75
families have gone, leaving about!
260 in the valley. The cost of pro- I
riding them with homes, machinery,j
livestock, schools and Incidentals has;
mounted to 914,000 a farm, Thomas!
says, whereas the cost was suppos- j
ed to be held to about $3,500

We have Christmas presents for

as they all gathered outside the
bears’ cave.
It’s not really cold enough for
them to begin their winter sleep asj
yet,” said Willy Nilly. You know
how they sleep for a while at this
time of the year and then come
forth into the sun again. I believe
they’re just napping.”
“W» have Christmas presents for
you,” Rip barked. -
A sleepy voice was heard mur
muring inside the cave: "Merry
Christmas, Puddle Muddlers.”
“I know what’s the trouble,” caw
ed Christopher. "They think we’re
just full of Christmas cheer. Ill go
Inside.”
In a few moments Christopher
came out, foUowed by the bears.
They were only half-awake.
"Now Sweet Face will give the
presents of food,” cawed Christo
pher Columbus Crow. Sweet Face
had been carried up to the eave and
was resting.
Half-awake and half-asleep, the
bears took the presents of food
and dreamily, yet hungrily they ate
their presents at once.
“You aren’t noticing the pretty
red ribbon around each gift," bleat
ed Sweet Face.
“Pretty red ribbon can’t be eat
en," murmured Honey Bear.
"Pretty food can be eaten,”
growled Jupiter Bear softly.
"Pretty food!” laughed the Pud

called that?”
“You have,” answered Blacky
Bear, eating with his eyes closed.
JUMPS INTO RIVER

KINSTON. Dec. 1.—What
caused Amos Hawkins to Jump into
the river with the mercury down to
30? A mouse.
It got into his overalls. He danc
ed. He slapped his body. But wher
ever he slapped the mouse was

It slithered across his back, around
his waist, up and down his legs—
always on the inside of his shirt
and overalls.
In utter desperation he jumped
Into the river, and lost the mouse.
settlers can follow. There are no
fur-bearing animals in the vicinity,
salnian fishing requires a large in
vestment and mining even larger.
He saw a bright spot. Anyone in
Alaska who wants a reindeer can
go shoot one and haul it home
without more ado, he says. That is
earliest farther north, where there
are more than around Matanuska.
Reindeer meat is good to eat, but
already the cattle-growing states are
enacting laws to prevent it compet
ing with beef. So as an industry he
lists that, too. as limited.
He would vote for an appropria
tion bill to establish an air base in
Alaska as good protection against
Asiatic invasion.
TALK
TO
PARENTS
Sam was so badly crippled si the
result of Infantile paralysis In ba
byhood that ha was never able to
mix with other children, or even
to go to school. In the neighborhood
tare was no special school or means
of training crippled children. His
parents did not wish to send him
away from home to any of the In
stitutions, free or private, where
crippled children were given train
ing, education and treatment to fit
them for life. . ^
"Sam would be homesick," was
their excuse. "And, anyway, we just
can't bear to live without him."
So Sam stayed at home. When he
was little, his mother taught Wm,
later on a tutor was engaged. As
far as education went, the boy kept
up with children of hU age, Income
respects went farther. He had plen
ty of time for reading and study.
There was very little else to do but
watch other children at play from
his window or the porch.
The tragedy of such a situation is
that the crippled child has the
same desires and ambitions as oth
er children. He wants to join in
their play, to share their interests.
His warped and twisted body is
like a prison from which he cannot
escape, and before him stretches an
eternity of solitude and separation.
There are numerous schools and
institutions throughout the country
where such a child has a chance, if
not of recovery, at least of living a
comparatively normal life. At such
a place he can receive the treat
ment which is generally considered
advisable for paralysis, and can be
trained for some work which will
enable him to take his place in the
world.
Most Important of all, he will be
able to mix with other children, to
join in their games and share their
thoughts. He win not develop the
sense of inferiority which one crip
ple in a crowd of healthy children
is so apt to feel.

WHO BING FOUGHT
HOLLYWOOD QUERY
HOLLYWOOD, Dee. L — UP) —
Bing Crosby* reputation u a bu
bu-bu-battling crooner flourished
today, bu-bu-ou-based on a couple
of bu-bu-bublows outside a San
Diego cafe. But Bing denied earlier
reports they were aimed at heck
ling sailors of the United States
fleet.
The hostilities apparently were
declared as the blue of the night
melted into the gold of dawn, but
Bing’s brother, Larry, said he was
uncertain of the enemy’s Identity.
On Navy's Side
"The navy was on our side,” ex
plained Crosby to brother Larry,
who as business manager has to
worry about damage suits and such.
“There wasn't much to it—a poke
or to—but it was all settled to ev
erybody’s satisfaction. Let’s forget
It."
Bing stayed a step ahead of
those seeking verification of the re
ported fitstlcuffs last Saturday
morning. Re left to see bis stable
raoe at Bay Meadows today after
attending a football game here
Saturday.
Larry, who qulseed the singing
setor briefly, was obliged to furnish
s second-hand account of the Cros
by war.
His version:
Bing and a friend, Lynn How
srd, visited a San Diego cafe after
hunting quail on Crosby’s nearby
ranch. A civilian customer recog
nised the film star. Soon he Im
pugned the honor of crooners, and
Oroeby’s in particular, In a public
statement.
Bing’s Ire was aroused. The prin
cipals and a group of sailors step
ped out into the street. Then, as
action threatened to become hot
and heavy, police enforced peace.
"One report had it that Bing of
fered to fight the sailors, but Bing
told me he and the navy have al
ways been on the same tide,” Lar
ry said.
"Apparently there was little
damage done. Bing didn't even
have a skinned knuckle.”
