Just why Doris Duke, donating heavily to the Democratic campaign fund in Ala bama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississ ippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vir ginia and Connecticut, didn’t include North Carolina on her list is quite puzzling. Is it possible that the North Carolina fund didn’t need her $6,000?' CAN’T 8TAY ON ROAD The first freeze of the winter shows that busses end trucks can’t handle ice to any advantage. So the railroads do have something left. Truck and bus managements deserve congratulations on their orders to stop all schedules but before these regulations were put into effect plenty of them went into ditches. It would seem fitting and proper that drivers be given general instructions to stop when ice forms on the road. There is no more helpless feeling in the world than to be going down an icy hill in a small automo bile with a ten or fifteen truck behind you. You know if something happens to your car you are going to be run over because the truck can’t stop. This also goes for busses. To have a car behind you is bad enough but there is a little better chance for you-if a car hits you. This thing of stopping when ice forms of iourse, is not Only advisable for drivers ol commercial vehicles. Its a mighty good plan for all drivers. WE VOTE AGAINST IT A bill to be introduced at the next ses sion of the legislature would provide that ii a teacher is elected by a school for three years in succession, further elections will not be necessary. The teacher, under such a pro vision, may consider a job permanently hers until she is guilty of some action sufficiently undesirable to provoke her dismissal by the school board. The bill, in our opinion, is not only un necessary, but would be a veritable trouble maker. Dismissals Of teachers are suffic iently rare that no teacher need have any real fear of losing her job so long as she does it well, so that awarding permanent jobs is not necessary to the teachers’ peace of mind and happiness. On the other hand, if school boards give teachers permanent jobs, they will soon find themselves in a muddle of embarrassment on the score of ridding themselves of some tea cher, who being more or less indolent, lets up on her job when she considers it a cer tainty, but commits no actual offense tc which the board might object strenuously enough to dismiss her. The business of hiring and firing teach ers, in this day of keen competition for jobs, is already a delicate one. The matter of re electing teachers at the end of each year, even though it be purely a matter of form will leave the school boards a loophole in case of an undesirable situation, and if they should ask our advice about it, which they won’t, we should say leave well enough alone. TRAINING IN DISTRIBUTION 1 The George-Deen act in congress appro priating $1,200,000 to the states, provided states match federal grants to some extent, for vocational training in distributive lines is tremendously interesting. In North Carolina now we have in most instances only three vocational courses. In town and city schools there are home eco nomics and bookkeeping or other commercial courses. In rural schools are home econom ics and agriculture. The new fund provides for training in salesmanship, window dressing, delivery ser vice and other courses in distribution jobs. This shows the trend m education today; tc make education serve actual needs of the in dividual and the community. In North Carolina we are so rapidly be coming a commercial state the value of such courses is apparent. From an agriculture state a few years ago North Carolina has be rome quite commercial and commercial mind, ed and every indication is it will be ever more so in the near future. Matching ol federal funds for this kind of instructor would seem greatly desirable, entirely teas and eaonomicaily profitable. JOHN RINGLING On Tuesday, December 2, death invaded a Park Avenue apartment in New York City to write the final lines in the dramatic story of John Ringling, last of the seven famous Ringling brothers. John, whose death came after a brief illness from bronchial pneu monia, had put behind him 70 years as full and rich and varied as often fall to the lot of one man, a life which embodied a "poor boy-makes-good” saga sufficiently .romantic to fire the imagination of every youth who reads his story. The son of a poor harness maker and second youngest of seven brothers, he began his career as a showman by collecting pins and marbles as entrance fees to the back yard shows staged by his brothers, and from thence went in swift strides to the top in the amusement world. The brothers began their real career in the show business with the organization of a concert company, from that 4o a small circus was an easy step, ten years beyond that was ownership of a large circus, beyond that ownership and manipu lation of practically all the large circuses in the country, and even beyond that ownership of many railroads over which the circuses travelled. In addition to his collection of circuses and railroads, John Ringling was a collector of art treasures and founded a museum of art at Sarasota, Florida, as a memorial to his first wife. He showed the world—what they have seen often but persist in forgetting —that humble birth and poverty are not deterrants to a man of real ability and force; he enter tained Americans for half a century and taught them entertainment values; he went outside his particular field to promote the cause of art; and he must have had a tre mendously good time doing all of it. I What Other Papers Say run** was (Salisbury Post) • Leas than a year ago newspaper front pages were crammed with picture*, maps and details of the war between Italians and Ethiopians. To a certain degree, that war is still going on. One quarter—a rich section—of Ethiopia remains un conquered, and to,000 natives are stoutly resisting the Italian columns. Nevertheless, you are lucky If you | can find a small item about the Ethiopian situation in the back pages of your newspaper. Now newspaper front pages are crammed with pictures, maps and details of the civil war In Spain. Let’s hope that a year from now a greater con flict will not have usurped the front pages, n it's hapd to, believe that may happen, remember that, a. yefcr ago, th«e was ty> outward sign of a coming Spanish war.

THREE’S A CROWD r in nr v i Washington Daybook By PRESTON GROVER (AssoniateA Prtn Staff V. iter WASHINGTON.-—Part of official ,Washington has the jitters over what may grow out of the Mexican expropriation law. It is a sweeping act under which tbs president of Mexico Is author ized, In the inter est of the public’s need, to seize any property within the republic, eith er temporarily or permanently. The purpose for the seizure may range jfrom military needs to the sim pler desire for “the equitable dis tribution of wealth whether hoarded or monopolized to MISTON L CSOVIf the exclusive advantage of one or several persons and In detriment generally of the population as a whole or a social class in particu lar." American investments in Mexico are estimated at a billion dollars. English and Dutch Investments also ate large. • • • • Embarrasses Peace Parley The law would be embarrassing enough to United State officials at any time. . But it was shot through the Mexican congress at the behest of President Cardenas just when the inter-American conference was taking shape. Peace is the watchword of that conference. Property seizure doesn’t look too peaceful to American eyes, whether on this continent or else where. The seizure law has a terrific double-edged impact. It provides far compensation where seizure or government control is imposed. But the compensation Is to be the amount at which the property is listed for tax purposes. Now anyone acquainted with tax procedure either in this country or elsewhere knows that property is assessed for taxes at any level from kO per cent to Its full cash value. But usually far less than the lat ter. Courts have upheld the right of railroads, for Instance, to have one value.for tax purposes and another higher value upon which passenger and freight rates are based. In Mexico the situation is report ed as the same. Oil wells, gold and silver mines and other vast proper ties are on the tax rolls at an assess ment far under cash value. Thus an owner of such property is faced with this dilemma: He either can run the risk of having ttas government seize his property at its low tax value or voluntarily go to the tax official and have the assessment raised.. That of course means paying more taxes year after year. • • • • Capable Of Drastic Action 1 Troubled particularly are owners I of mines and oil fields, where labor j troubles have arisen Under crr I lain circumstances these could be Sundown Stories For The Kiddies Indian Fuddle Muddler* By MARY GRAHAM BONNER The bears and Sweet Face were left alone. Nearby was the huge pile of sticks and old leaves, built where It was rocky so that there was no danger of Ore spreading from it. and. too. there were some big buckets of water which Willy Nilly had put nearby so that he could make sure no flames would creep along the earth without be ing stopped. "What do you suppose the secret is?” growled Honey Bear. " “I can't imagine,” answered Jelly Bear. “I know It hasn’t anything to do with food because Willy Nilly spoke of bringing up a picnic sup per. He made no secret of it.” Just then came a terrific noise. Shouts, and the beating of a drum and whoops of Joy and shrill cvrles came from the direction of Willy Nilly’s house. And now the Puddle Muddlers appealed. Leading them was Willy Nilly, his face magnificently painted; and he was wearing a headgear made of feathers, which he had put away in the Big Box That Held Things Just For Fun. Next came Rip. the dog, with a little drum fastened on his back which he beat with his tail. Next came the ducks, their fea thers painted red and yellow* After the ducks came Christro pher Columbus Crow with a string of beads around his neck. And then came Top Notch, the rooster, a bow and arrow under his right wing. Now they all began to dance. “Whoops, whoops!” they shout ed, “The Puddle Muddle Indians have come to celebrate the winter sleep of fine brave bears!” Predict* Settlement PARIS.

Having known him for years, I know how much he has been in love with the Job of living. “No doubt I was lucky,” he goes on, “to have been born with so great a sense of wonder and cur iosity, that I have never been able to get used to the incredltable odd ness of Just being alive. . “It is amazing. Even when I am disillusioned as regards my own life, as I sometimes am in off moods, the strangeness of my fellow-livers fascinates me. They are not only amusing but Interesting. • “They are funny and pathetic by turns, like myself; and I have found that in the darkest seasons of life there is always consolation to be had, if we are not completely im prisoned within ourselves. "How dull the world would be if it had been people exclusively by persons of my type. We should all be living quite pastoral lives, far from the maddening crowd—not a machine on earth! “If everyone else had my likes and dislikes, belonged to my politi cal party, held my religious faith, and lived as I want to live, it would drive all of us to the latch ditch of desperation. "To me every human contact is an experience, every friendship— or even acquaintance—is an ad venture. Never yet have I met any human being in whom I did not find something unique, charming.” In respect to the future, my friend has a mystic philosophy—he does not call it a faith—the roots of which are too deep to discover, which assures him utterly—leaving no margin of fear. How good it is to see a man who loves life for itself, who enjoys it and does not simply endure it; one to whom it is a romance, not a burden or a bore. Tet he has known hard knocks apelnty. Surely the secret of his joy to living is that he is not Imprisoned within himself. He knows how to get into the lives of his fellows; and that secret is open to us all. <•»«»»* COLDS FEVER Wl», N<n Dr»*« Sniwlt.
