BEAUTIFYING CHURCHES
An article in a recent issue of the Pro
gressive Farmer called attention to the
beautiful grounds around a rural church near
Oxford, N. C. This church has attracted
state-wide attention and given an impetus to
members of other rural church congrega
tions in beautifying their church grounds.
Here in Cleveland we have some of the
most commodious rural chureh buildings in
the South. They are the admiration of visit
ors because the structures are substantial
and modern and reflect favorably upon the
communities they serve.
We are not, however, giving as much at
tention to ground beautification as we should.
A few* of the churches have planted shrubs
and grass, but the great majority have given
first attention to the buildings, which ie
right and proper.
Says Editor Clarence Poe:
“Beauty is contagious. It preaches beau
ty. Why should not a church feel a divine
call to make its premises preach tidiness and
loveliness to all the community round aboft ?
Is not that indeed a part of the gospel ? Did
not Ruslcin %ive us the great truth that
beauty in art and nature promotest beauty
of character?”
Beautification of church grounds is be
ing given more attention than ever before
and we believe we are just beginning. Pro
gress is slow, but it is apparent, neverthe
less, and our rural church friends are to be
commended.
MRS. SIMPSON A SYMBOL
Beneath the surface struggle between
King Edward VIII and his Prime Minister,
Stanley Baldwin, over the King’s friendship
for the American-born Wallis Warfield Simp
son, lies the eternal struggle between liberal
ism, between commoner and aristocrat, even
—delving deeper beneath the surface—one
might even diseera traces of the eonfliet be
tween labor and capital.
Even as Prince of Wales Edward indi
cated an interest in “the people,” a sympa
thy with the working man, and a will tc
think his own thoughts, to live his own life
and to form his “friendships” with regard
to the dictates of his own tastes and emo
tions, not according to the dictates of kins
or cabinet ministers.
As king, he began his reign by breaking
precedents—by travelling by airplane and by
ordinary' railway coach as other men travel—
and further indicated his sympathy with th<
idea of a New Deal for England by making
a personal survey of the desolate, poverty
cursed coal mining areas of Wales with th<
determination to see conditions for himself
and, if possible, do something to remedy
them.
Such actions on the part of an English
king, whose usual role is that of figure head
or plastic clay, to be moulded by a conserva
tive cabinet or a more conservative Anglican
clergy, were calculated to bring these latter
forces to the defensive for the preservation
of the Post-Victorial England which they
represent.
The king’s friendship for Wally is mere
ly a symbol of the New Deal which he de
mands for both himself and England.
Looked at on the surface the fight be
tween Edward and his first minister ap
pears to be one-sided, it looks as if the latter
has a pair showing but, in view of the under
currents of the situation, and the king’s tre
mendous popularity with the masses, he may
yet turn out to have an ace in the hole.
PAYING INJURED WORKERS
One of the finest of several pieces ol
legislation enacted during the Ganlner ad
ministration was the Workmen’s Compensa
tion Act, which provides for payment to em
ployees for injury or death while engaged ir
their occupation. *
During the seven years’ operation ol
the N. C. Industrial Commission, accidents
have caused workers in the state to lose 5,
561 years of work, according to the biennia]
I report of the commission recently filed.
A total of 200,584 claims have been filed
with the commission since it was set up ir
| 1929, representing that much lost time ir
North Carolina industry due to accidents, ex
elusive of the 613 permanent disability case;
and deaths and the 4,980 cases of perman
ent partial disability.
Workers or their dependents received ;
total of nearly tan million dollars in benefits
since the enactment of this law.
Before the law was passed in North
Carolina, many injured never made claim,
while others entered the courts of law, re
ceiving unduly large amounts or unjustly
small sums, often surrendering half of their
court .awards to attorneys. Now litigation is
eliminated and compensation is based on the
employees earnings.
The compensation act was designed to
be fair both to the employer and the em
ployee and eliminate the injustices that were
in vogue under the old system. As a coun
terpart of this act, state-wide safety confer
ences have been held, resulting in the elimi
nation of hazards in industrial plans. In this
campaign both the employer an demployee
have co-operated to a marked degree.
What Other Papers Say
MR. TVGWRLL'S OPPORTUNITY
'Chapel HUI Weekly)
Retford Guy Tugwell lies been one of toe favor
ite targets of the anti-New Dealers. Not long after
he was taken under the Administrator’! wing some
body, exploring bla record, raked up a book or maga
zine article In which he had expressed the opinion
that the world ought to be made over. Thencefor
ward he was talked of, far and wide, as a Utopian.
Now Mr. Tugwell has resigned as head of the Re
settlement Administration to accept the position of
vice-president of the American Molasses Company
The name of this concern Indicates that molasses
has got into the grip of Big Business, which may or
may not explain why the quality of It has undergone
such deterioration In the last twenty-five or thirty
years. As a lifelong student and devotee of molasses,
we are willing to swear that the product of today te
nothing like as good as the one we used to pour upon
biscuits and battercakes at the turn of the century.
The word Utopian commonly suggests a dream
world of the future, a state of perfection never yet
attained; but, In respect to molasses, Utopian means
going not forward but backward. If Mr. Tugwell Is,
as has been charged, a Utopian, we hope that he will
now bend his energies to providing America with some
Utopian molasses.
Mi KNEW, ALL RIGHT
(Atlanta Constitution)
An old negro had just paid the last instalment on
a small farm when the realtor who sold it to him
said: Well, Uncle Joe, I will make you a deed to the
farm now since it has been paid for.
"Boss” the old darkey replied, “if it am all de
same to you I had much rather you give me a mort
gage to de place."
The realtor, somewhat surprised, said: “Uncle
Joe, you don't seem to know the difference between
a mortgage and a deed."
“Well, maybe not.” said Uncle Jot reminiscently,
“but I owned a small farm once to which I had a deed
and de bank had a mortgage and de hank got de
farm.”

Washington
Daybook
By PRESTON GROVER
(Associates PreM Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON.—Much freehand
opinion is available in Washington
on what to make of the supreme
court’s four-four decision sustaining
the New York unemployment act.
After all, when
the court, in an
nouncing its de
cision, gives
explanation with
it, somebody has
to.
About the
significant thing
this column heard
was to nature of
the argument be
fore the
when the case was
presented. It
pointed out
so a mention is enough
The argument skimmed over the
constitutional issues and went to
bat on whethc. such an act was
good and wise for New York state.1
If it should prove true that econo-1
mic and sociological argument i
brought the evident switch of a!
conservative to the liberal side of
the court, that would be immense
ly important.
* * * •
Cnees Wi Point To Roberts
Most guesses point to Justice
Roberts as the conservative who
changed position. If so. arguments
can be arrayed from either side to
justify his stand. It may have been
i economic argument. But equally it
may have been his conception that
legislation that is unconstitutional
when enacted by the federal con
gress may be constitutional under
state enactment.
Roberts wrote the decision up
setting AAA in which it was held
! that legislation governing* certain
: aspects of the welfare of agriculture
! was a state domain, not federal. Hie
same consideration may have sway
' ed him in the New York unemploy
1 meat compensation case.
For all anyone actually knows,
the justices may be good-naturedly
: chuckling up the sleeves of their
voluminous black coats at the brain
| labor they imposed upon the “in
side guessers." Because of their tie
’ decision, they escaped the need of
1 writing any opinion on the case.
One thing about the court, its
members have to come some time
to a showdown. The decision they
, escaped writing in the New York
case will be forced upon them in
1 other cases already before them or
oertatn to reach them.
Unlike members of congress, they
cant write home to their consti
i tuents that when the roll was called
up yonder they were down in the
departments chewing the rag about
a grant for a bridge across Kettle

Price* Up With Wkn
R wasn't altogether overlooked in
; Washington that price jumps fol
lowed close on the heels of the fancy
’ wage increases, like hounds after
rabbits. One day’s paper brought
these headlines: "Wool apparel lines
advanced as wages Jump,” and "Six
mope rug firms declare price in
crease.” Another gay brought: "Steel
, price boost initiated, up $3 to *4 "

Hollywood
Sights And Sounds
By ROBIN COONS
HOLLYWOOD— Unreel parade:
It’s funny how things work out.
Judge Rogers from Olathe, Kas.,
used to call Mrs. Rogers his “own
Mary Ptckford”—long before the
family knew Mary in person, and in
the days when anybody who might
have predicted Mary would even
tually be their daughter-in-law
would have been considered a can
didate for the psychopathic ward.
And apropos of Mary and Buddy
Rogers, a friend of the Rogers
family recalls that even in high
school Buddy went with girls who
were older than he. The friend
thinks Buddy and Mary will make
a go of it.
Unconscious Comedy
The funniest line in the Laurel
and Hardy feature, “Our Relations”
wasn’t Intended to get laughs when
they made the picture. But the
Hollywood audiences get hysterical
when Hardy tells Laurel: "Don't do
that—we’re having enough trouble
with our wives as it is!”
Scribe Grover Jones' printing
gadgets finally have crowded the
family automobile out of its gar
age. Jones got interested in print
ing 10 years ago and began buying
equipment which he stored in a
corner of the garage. He put out a
little private newspaper, ‘The
Wheeze,” for circulation among his
friends. The demand grew, and so
did his equipment. Recently he
bought a power press — and now
even he can’t maneuver the car in
to the garage. He’s building a new
one.
Harry Oliver, the art director
("Viva Villa,” “The Good Earth,”
“Rainbow on the River,” etc.) tells
about the time he designed a
“stone” bridge for a silent picture.
The bridge had to be dynamited
during a cowboy and Indian chase.
Oliver says he was very proud of
his bridge—until the dynamiting.
The "stone*” hit the river and
floated.
The screen production of “Win
terset,” Maxwell Anderson’s prize
winning play, has been done with
affectionate care, few major oper
ations having been performed. The
blank-verse dialogue has been re
tained where possible. Members of
the stage cast—including Burgess
Meredith. Margo, and Eduardo
Ciannelli — deliver fine perform
ances. Despite a certain theatri
cal ism which is not too convincing
on the screen, the picture builds to
intense Interest, and most pre
viewers called it an "artistic tri
umph,” sending shudders down the
spines of exhibitors who will have
to sell it. Although Anthony Veil
ler’s screen play gives it a happy
ending, what "Winterset” really is
is a sort of Hamlet in modern dress
—with gangsters.

Mayflowe Cup
Given For Book
CHAPEL .ilIiU Dec. 7.—The May
flower Cup, the coveted prise for
the book adjudged the most origi
nal by a North Carolinian during
the year, was today in the posses
sion of a University of .North Caro
lina history professor, Dr. Mitchell
Bennett Jarrett.
The award was made last night
Raleigh 'at the annual session of the
North Carolina Literary and His
torical Association.
Dr. Garrett was singled out from
among SO competitors for his re
cently published volume on the
French Revolution, entitled “Estat
es General in 1780; The Problems of
Composition and Organisation.”
Published by D. Appleton-Century
with funds provided by the revolv
ing fund of the American Historical
Association ,the volume is said to
throw much additional light on the
first assembly in 1780 of the Es
tates General since 1614, two months
prior to the storming of the Bas
tille.
Most of material for the volume,
Dr. Garrett said, was gathered from
thousands of pamphlets published
around 1788. Dr. Garrett has been
gathering the material for the last
IS yean. He.spent two yean in re
search in the archives of libraries of
Paris and six months scanning
source material in the British Mu
