While some are not of as great import ance as are others, there is responsibility of some kind on every public holder. In some cases, it seems ,the main responsibility is to keep the feet from scarring desks, but in the main there is a definite job to be done and holders of smaller offices should realize their responsibility and in most instances do. WORTHY PROJECT It is sincerely hoped the proposed pro ject for eliminating unhealthy conditions in the lower Buffalo creek area will be approv ed by the state board of health and WPA of ficials. There has been a question in the minds of some people as to the advisability of some WPA projects but this type of thing can not be successfully opposed. Hardly in any other manner would it be feasible. WPA activities, on the whole, have been of value to the country, we believe, and more projects of this type would make the agency even more valuable. We have had in Shelby a great deal of work of a sanitary nature, which adds to better health conditions and this drainage project would fit in well in the same classification of those in Shelby. MORE SCHOOLS NEEDED ' Since agitation for a new school build ing in these parts must be long drawn out, even after the community as a whole is agreed on its need, it shouldn’t be out of ord er to suggest the idea of another grammar school for the city to be located in cast Shel by, somewhere south of the highwav. The idea, after being put on to boil will have to sit on the back of our minds and simmer for some months, perhaps years, until after the high school project, now being sought, goes through, and, given that additional time, the need will have become more acute. Every grammar grade building in the city is crowded but Marion school, which takes care of the children from Beaumor.de Terraces, Belvedere and Cleveland Springs and the section between the two, as well as its section of up-town residential Shelby, is more crowded, generally speaking than any of the others. Its teacher and class room loads are much too heavy and its teachers are to be commended for their acceptance of the conditions and making the best of them. A building located in the section sug gested, to care for the children from the Beaumonde Terraces, Belvedere Heights and Cleveland Springs developments would re lieve crowded conditions in every grammar school in town and beside that would prove a boon to children in that section who have to walk into town to school and to parents who have to spend much of their time haul ing children to and from school four times each day. THEY ALL LOVE IT News that involves mystery, love and romance has an appeal to readers in all parts of the world and they follow it to the end. The English people were not fully ac quainted with the love affair of King Edward and Mrs. Simpson until the news was broken a week ago. Prior to that time, American newspapers had been filled with the story and it gripped every reader, but the staid old English papers had refused to use it. Over there, the papers regard news concerning the private life of the King too sacred to spread. Over here, our newspapers “give ’em the works.” regardless of rank or posi tion. They tell everything and often too much. While the English papers were sup pressing-the King’s romance with a Com moner, the London newsmen were compiling data to have ready when the story did break, for they knew full well that it could not be withheld, forever. Lord Beaverbrook, publisher of the Lon don Express, had come to America to seek relief from his asthma out in Arizona. Im mediately upon his arrival he found that Am erican newspapers were giving a bigger play ©f the English romance than of the civil war in Spain. Immediately he'announced that the ocean trip had cured his asthma and he was returning to London on the same liner. Upon his return, the English papers lifted their self-imposed censorship and cut loose. The whole story of the King and Mrs. Simp son was told and newsboys found thousands of customers eagerly waiting to buy their papers within a block of the offices. All that the public in England had gotten up to that time was from wntsDering reports. Much of ft was garbled and untrue, but after the newspapers let go the story, the millions of subjects were found eager to read every line. They were entitled to know. A Nation that has a censored press is always in danger. What Other Papers Say VISIONARY (Bamberg Herald) There are a hundred and one things all of us devoutly hope for and which we can’t afford to have. Most people would like to have a commodious home, but many of them will never have it. South Caro lina would like to see everybody with two cars In their garages and two chickens In every pot, but that is an Ideal which perhaps will never be realized, cer tainly not In less than 100 years of education to get the people in a proper frame of mind not to abuse such a privilege. The social security program is in this class. When and if the state grants pensions of $10, $30 or $30 a month to the unemployed, we will have thous ands of persons who will not only not seek to find employment for themselves, but will actually shun all opportunity for gainful occupations. WHAT PRICE SPEEDWAYS? (Sanford Herald) According to a headline announcement in The Raleigh Times, Capua Waynick, State Highway and Public Works Commissioner is going to ask for $64, 500.000 for State roads during ths coming biennium. For the past two years the public schools in the State have been operating on approximately $41,000, 000. Last year an average of three men a day were killed on North Carolina highways. Each year it Is the duty of the schools to make men out of thousands of North Carolina children. OFF IN ALL DIRECTIONS (Gulf Coast Lumberman) They tell about a very ordinary sort of fellow who got suddenly rich by striking oil, and who got awfully swell-headed and blgoty about himself, always try ing to impress those with whom he came in contact with his great Importance. One day he rushed into the railway station, laid a twenty-dollar bill down at the ticket-seller’* win dow, and said: "Gimme a ticket.” “Where to,” asked the ticket-agent. "Anywhere. It doesn’t make no difference,” said the newly rich guy. "I got business all over.” Nobody’s Business — By GEE McGEE __ GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN ..-Every time I go to the table and eat supper, the 'said supper consisted of various and sundry knick knacks and knack-knicks of these modem times, I know then and there that my Indigestion is rejoic ing because I am giving it a Job to do. I usually make a bee-line to the medicine chest (for a dose of sodium bicarbonate or a few tablets made of common soda that cost about 15 cents each, that is—they cost me that) . . when I leave our breakfast room . . . where we do 98 percent of our eating. -1 wish we could all go back to our regular 18M (or thereabouts) suppers. Nobody ever had any in digestion at our house. Such a pain was unknown. To tell the truth, I never heard of this malady until I left home, at the age of 21, and took up boarding with a fairly well-to-do family; they had H, but I never caught it for several yean. -When I was a kid, ginger-bread was known as fancy eating. Regular biscuits were a rarity, but ho cake was always present. Corn-bread was our staff of life, and the only thing we ever worried about. It became rather scarce before we got ready to leave the table. There were only 10 of us children at home all of the time. -1 wish I could go back to those suppers. 1 can now see the gang; and the table; and the long bench es we sat on; and the painted tin cups we drank out of; and the big pitcher that belonged to bed-room set in the cmpany room . . . which we used for but termilk when we didn't have company, and we never had any company, all sitting around and on the table which was covered with a tattered and worn oil-cloth. -There were I or 10 big corn-dodgers lyii* in the center of the table, with ma’i finger-prints all over them, cooked to a beautiful brown. I have never been able to get any corn-pones cooked like these. Ma used only salt and water: it looks like everybody these days wants to ruin the stuff with an egg and a pinch of soda and some shortening. -We considered it fil-manaered to drink over S tin cups of buttermilk at one meal, but we generally saw that the said cups were filled to the brim. We crum bled up our corn-bread and put it in the as soon as we had drunk a little out of the cup and room for it. Nearly all of us were so (young), we had bibs made of oilcloth.

A THE WOMAN’S ANGLE I ►vf I--A-1 Washington H Daybook By PRESTON GROVER 'AuoaUtiiJ Press Staff Writer: WASHINGTON. — Rex Tugwelli stepped from resettlement into mo-; lasses but It still left Secretary Wal-* lace holding the sweetest Job in thej world — alloting sugar quotas among domestic and Island produc ers. Legally congress has the big voice in this but when a technical job arises of calculat ing whether Ha waii, Cuba o r Florida will get an increased share of the market, the task falls us- rUSTON L CKOVlf ually on the administrative end. In case of sugar, that is Secretary Wal lace. He inaugurated the quota sys tem in the first place as part of | AAA. It is one part of the New Deal surviving almost intact. * • • » Big Sweet Tooth America eats 6,500,000 tons, rough-; ly a half billion dollars worth of sugar annually. That is about a 100- j pound bag apiece for the popula tion, and since babies get less, adults take more. On present quotas, Cuba has the lion’s share—a,000,000 tons. Other shares are: United States beet su gar producers, 1,555,000 tons, Louis iana and Florida cane sugar pro ducers 360,000 tons, Puerto Rico 801,297, Philippine island 998.110, Hawaii 941,199. There is a persistent jockeying for a larger share of the market and already lobbies for some pro ducers have reached Washington to wor kon the coming congress and to treat with Wallace, while others an operating on a new plan—ad vertising. It ought to give Uncle Sant a very puffy feeling about the chest j to have so many island groups clamoring for recognition as part of the American system. Indepen dent Cuba pleads in a handsome booklet widely circulated that it is “an integral part of the American Economic Union.’’ Hawaii, embark ing on a year-long sugar advertis ing schedule, points to its territor ial status as grounds for a larger allowance. The Philippines, not al together happily becoming inde pendent, insist that until the Amer ican flag finally is hauled down nine years hence those island should escape the sugar tariff en tirely instead of only on part of its quota. Puerto Rico argues for a larger cut and occasionally certain factions loose a blast at Senator Tydings for introducing a bill last session which would have authorized the island to vote on independence. Do mestic producers insist that for prosperity and preparedness rea sons they should be allowed to pro duce all they can. • * * • He’s A Sugar Daddy Island production costs less so the tariff and quota restrictions are! Foresters Are To Meet In Asheville DURHAM, Dec. 9.—<JP) — Prof. William Maughan of Duke Forest,' chairman, announced today that] two major subjects would be dis-. cussed at the annual winter meet ing of the Appalachian section of the Society of American Foresters at Asheville Friday and Saturday.

Clark, railway agent, reported to day the death of a 40 pound pig and an American eagle in a drama tic air raid. Clar said the eagle, with a 7 foot wing spread, swooped and drove its talons into the pig while it fed near the Suwanee river. With its squaling victim, the bird took off, he said, but, heavily laden,, gained altitude too slowly. A shot from the gun of Hardy Johnson killed the eagle. Clark said the pig was injured fatally by the fall. essential to the life of the domestic producers. Thus domestic produc ers are at the mercy of government tariff and quota control. Since the American sugar eater provides by far the best market, the Island pro ducers likewise are at the mercy of quota ahd tariff regulations. That situation is what supports the quota system So Wallace, no molasses baron, remains the nation’s sugar daddy.

HOYLE, JR , Trustee Kennedy A Horn, Atty. 4t nov Hi Albemarle Bridge Will Require Use Of Much Material RALEIGH, Dec. 9.—(*>>—It will take 12,000 cubic yards of concrete, 4,450 tons of steel and 266,200 linear feet of piling to build the propos ed Albemarle Sound bridge. Capus M. Waynick, chairman of the state highway and public works commission, who announced today estimates of materials needed for the huge structure, said 34 tons of machinery would be required to open and close the 322-foot swing span. The bridge will be approximately 18,000 feet long, with 10 miles of approaches. The bridge will cost $1,050,000 and the approaches (250, 000. Waynick said the Albemarfe structure would be the most expen sive bridge in the state, exceeding slightly the "just under (1,000,000,” cost of the Gape Fear span at Wilmington, r More than half the piling to be used on the Albemarle bridge must he between 85 and 100 feet long, with a butt diameter of 20 inches, the chairman said. He added he was doubtful if piling that size could be obtained on this coast. Bids on the bridge will be adver tised for December 15 and opened December 28 or 29. Waynick said awarding of con tracts before January 1 might save an estimated (15,000 in steel costs, as he understood a general steel price increase was contemplated. The bridge and approaches will be financed by (1.000.000 in Federal aid funds (half state *and half Fed eral) and a (300,000 appropriation from funds of the highway depart ment. 666 U|aM Tablet* Salve.
