The Citizen says: "The program adopted by Henderson county on Saturday is one that challenges attention. As an nounced by Mr. G. D. White, the general chairman, the chief objective of the 5-10 year farm plan in Henderson during the coming twelve months wil^ be the rehabilitation of the county's citizenship and to this end some highly practical proposals have been outlined and committees organized to put these proposals into operation. "First of all, it is planned to form community clubs in various parts of the county and these clubs, actively led and supported by the women as well as by the men, will endeavor to see to it that enough foodstuffs are produced to make sure that no one shall lack an abundance to eat. The endeavor will be to see that every family either has a garden or a share in a garden which will be operated for common purpose. The Red Cross and other agencies will be asked to co-operate by re quiring that all those who secure assistance through these agencies shall, if physically able to do so, cultivate a garden or give their labor in the culti vation of one of the community gardens. Arrange ments will be worked out for the canning of sur plus vegetables and fruits looking to $ie require ments of the following winter. "VV hat Henderson county is doing should be un dertaken in every county of the state. There should be a constructive program in every county. The report of what is being attempted in Henderson evidences a leadership which has devoted time and thought to the situation and which is prepared to see it thfcrogh intelligently." It's not surprising Congress is discord ant. You can't expect harmony when lame ducksvess&y a swan song. Anyone can give a bachelor reasons why he should marry, but the $1500 difference in his income tax exemption isn't one of them, i A wild animal importer reports a bull market op bears at his New Hampshire farm. But Washington, D. C., still tops all other sf)ots for monkey business. v " / - The fadto'commission requires announc ers to s£v Whether entertainment is real or r i \ by "electrical transcription." But as yet they've^ut no label on canned applause. * ? * New York lawyers have formed an or ganization^ advise tenants how to get out of their leases. To do any business, their fees will have to be less than the cost of a saxophone. * *» Someone .Jias written Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt complaining of the appearance of her husband's hat. If it appears a little misshapen, it should be remembered the president-elect is keeping a whole cabinet under it. If o$r jobless seem a little more glum than usual it's probably because they've been reading about baseball holdouts re jecting $24,995 offers and won't sign up for on^eent less than $25,000. Don^stic allotment may be new to the farmerkbut it's just a weekly occurrence to the wage earner with a wife, six kids and a pay check. Now*they're proposing pocket radio sets for patrolmen on the beats. Might be all right ifrthe -coppers don't get their pro grams Jrtixed and find after an hour that they'v| been trying to run down 'the arch counteffeit^ctf 19Q2." . . | NEWSPAPERS' OPINIONS j 0 0 KERMIT AS THE TIE THAT BINDS The news that Kermit Roosevelt, second son of President Theodore Roosevelt, is to be a member of President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt's yachting party in southern waters, while bearing1 on its face the suggestion of a reapproachment between the warring members of the Roosevelt family, is tem pered by the knowledge that Kermit has never been so anti-Franklin as others of the Theodore branch. He did not, like his brother Theodore (the governor-general of the Philippines, lately described by a paragrapher as probably a fifth cousin to bo removed), campaign against the Democratic candi date. Kermit wrote the president-elect a letter of congratulations and called at his headquarters on election night. He appears thus as the link between the Theodore and Franklin branches. Nevertheless, while it is not to be supposed that foreign editors who described Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt as Princess Alice will understand the present situation, the United States will find satis faction in this latest indication that the family breach shows signs of healing. Despite the rigors of the late campaign, it has been a long time since Theodore the Younger referred to his fifth cousin as a "maverick." And despite the traditional de termination of Roosevelts to retain their own opin ions, a president in the family is a president, after all. Moreover, in this instance he has already proved to be a presidential candidate and a presi dent-elect who has rare skill in fusing such anti pathetic elements as the western progressives and the southern conservatives, the wetest of the wets and the driest of the drys, the most rabid of inter nationalists and the most die-hard nationalists. A president-elect who can tuck Hiram Johnson anr] Newton D. Baker in the same bed and make them like it, who can command the confidence of a La Follette and an Owen D. Young, who can rally t > his support Jouett Shouse and Josephus Daniels, who can see Huey Long and Carter Glass on the same day and leave them both satisfied, ought not to have much trouble with the Roosevelts.—Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. MISLEADING The sophistry which points out that North Caro linians think more of good roads than they do of good schools is one of those charges that bring no shame to us, not even when it is Newton D. Baker or Gerald W. Johnson who makes it. It is a sharp argument, that roads-over-schools theme, but it is a speciuos one. It would be equally as appropriate to --ay that North Carolina thinks more of debt service than it does of its young men and women. For debt service is with us; we cannot shake it immediately, no mutter how we struggle. The roads, too, are here, and their value depends upon their maintenance and their maintenance depends upon the continued use of them. There is a 50 per cent sales tax on gasoline. No body relishes paying this tax, nor, we think, could it be argued that it is a reasonable tax. By all means, that is, if we care anything for equity, we ought to concentrate on reducing this tax, not on diverting it to other uses. Further than that, the passage of the legislation from which our roads were built was with the ex press covenanting that highway revenue would ro to the maintenance of the system and the retire ment of the excessive indebtedness incurred. May be it should be said that we think more of out promises than of our schools.—Charlotte News. "BY ABILITY TO DEFEAT" "The people must come to realize that govern ment has no money except that which is taken from their own pockets; that Uncle Sam is not Santa Claus and the treasury is not a Christmas tree; that the efficiency of a representative in con gress should be measured not by his ability to secure funds from the treasury, but by his ability to defeat the efforts of those who seek to secure funds from the treasury." •cjuvi* »»ww vmv uvmvvouiw in nv; otuiviuviiu {;ivcn vwv in Washington by our own Senator James F. Byrnes and we heartily congratulate him for his determination to do all he can to reduce govern ment expenses. In addition to the above statement, Senator Byrnes said that the only hope of remedying the present situation rests in a president who has the courage and patriotism to act. Senator Byrnes be lieves that President-elect Roosevelt is determined to cut expenses to the bone and with an aroused public sentiment favoring such a program of econ omy we believe the incoming administration is go ing to give taxpayers relief.—Rock Hill (S. C.) Herald. LIKE DUMB CATTLE TO THE SLAUGHTER DRIVEN This is from W. 0. Sanders, editor of the Eliza beth City Independent: "Racketeers ride through the busiest streets in New York City on the day after Christmas and shoot holes through the windows of restaurants in which hundreds of people are dining. And nobody gets excited about it. And therein lies the explana tion of much of our misery—our inability to rouse ourselves to a pitch of good old fashioned righteous indignation; if we could just get good and mad all over about some or all of our numerous social and economic ills and afflictions, we might do something about it. But we are like a lot of dumb, lazy, thoughtless cattle content to chew our cuds, swish the flies that gather on our own rumps, and rumi nate—just ruminate. The only thing the populace is capable of getting excited about is a football game, a prize fight or a mug of beer," To which A. W. Plyler, editor of the N. C. Chris tian Advocate adds: "These words are commended to a morally flabby pulpit. Were every preacher in the state to give six months to featuring the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount in a straight from the shoulder gospel, we would change things in North Carolina. Marriage laws, Sabbath observ ance and liquor drinking would not be treated so slightly." Brisbane thinks America should look up to Rus sia, where no man is idle. But America was like that, too—before 1860—for black men. That Long-Delayed Elopement iiiimi i (lYX " oh,ves/ SHE ALWAYS COMES WITH Hundreds See Fletcher Play On Plant Life Posters Prepared There To Be Shown at Na tion-Wide Meeting FLETCHER, Feb. 4. (Special). An audience of 500 people saw the program presented by the Fletcher Parent-Teacher associa tion on Thursday evening at the Fletcher high school, featuring a nature study play by the pupils of the seventh grade. The play, "A. Plea for Our Wild Flowers" was directed by Mrs. D. D. Horton, teacher of that grade; Mrs. U. G. Speed of Biltmore Forest, who is the North Carolina chairman of the Conservation Club of America, and Mrs. Crosby Adams of Mon treal who had charge of 'the music and who favored the audi ence with several selections on the piano. Mrs. Speed arranged the play, parts of which she composed. Children impersonating wild flow ers appeared before "Mother Na ture" and put in a plea for their protection. The bluebird and th • chickadee. North Carolina's bird, appeared with a plea for the pro tection of those plants having seed or berries for the birds. The flowers represented were golden rod. North Carolina's state flower, was portrayed by Opal Young blood, in a leading role, the daisy, buttercup, blue gentian, trillium. stawartra. rhododendron, laurel, wild rose, lady slipper, dogwood, yellow lily, pitcher plant and vio let also being portrayed. During the year, the pupils of the grade have made an extensive study of these flowers, beginning in the fall. Mrs. Speed has as sisted in directing their efforts throughout the year. They have made many field trips. Later they studied bird life, also making many neia trips to advance tnis work. In connection with these studies they have made some very attractive posters. These were ex hibited at the close of the play and the work explained by Mra. Speed and Mrs. Horton. Some of the posters will be taken to New York City by (Mrs. Speed and shown at the annual meeting of the Conservation Club of America. The children of the grade have adopted resolutions not to do anything harmful to the bird or plant life, never to pull a.plant by the roots and if they want blos soms, to use a knife or scissors. They have learned that some of the rarest flowers of the Liliaceae family to which the trilliums be long, those of the Orchidaceae family, which includes the lady slipper and the gentinaceae fam ily, including the blue gentian, which takes three years to per petuate itself, are fast becoming obliterated. With this in view they have pledged themselves to pro tect these plants and those bear ing seeds for birds such as the dogwood, as well as the more com mon flowers. The Fletcher school has had the honor of being the first school to have the assistance of Mrs. Speed in this work. She is taking up the work with the students at Mon treat Normal. A group from there visited the Fletcher school last week, and reviewed the work as demonstrated by the seventh grade. QUILTING STUDENT'S HOBBY FORT WORTH. Tex. (UP).— Ben Wofford, 19, high school sen ior here, makes quilts as a hobby. Constructing tilt-top tables and floor lamps also has caught his fancy, but he finds quilting easier. The youth, 5 feet 11 inches tall, has never been "kidded" about quilting by his classmates. There is no substitute for newspaper advertising. Nation's Forest i Animals Gain in | Number, in 1932 FORT COLLINS, Colo., Feb. 4.—(UP).—The animal popula tion of the Roosevelt National Forest is showing an increase. | When the United States forest; rangers called the roll, recently, 19,734 predatory, game and fur J bearing animals answered "pres ent," the forest census report for 14)32 shows. * Deer led all the rest in the number of inhabitants roaming the forest. The number of deer was placed at (5528 as compared w:th 1170 in the forest in 1918,! ilie year the Roosevelt Forest was increased to its present size. 850 ELK Eight hundred and fifty elk,, 145 mountain sheep and 226! black, or brown bear, are regular) residents. In 1018 there were 120 elk, 235 mountain sheep and! #•}> bear. Predatory asin.als continued to j [show an increase despite the et'-l ] forts of government trappers and! hunters. There were 1175 coy-J ! otes, 832 wildcats and 43 moun tain lions within the forest lim-j its. The count of fur-bearing ani-| mals showed 4150 beaver, 540 J {fox, 1205 martin, J240 mink, 610 i 'badger and 2100 ermine, in the) iarea. j GAME REFUGE A frame refuge has been estab i lished through the center of the | j forest and this, in a large mea-; [sure, was responsible for the in-j j crease in game animals, forestry i ! officials said. Also the short! hunting season and the rigid en-1 forcement ofi the game laws; ; helped the Efliimal kingdom to thrive. T During 1032, it was estimated, j hunters killed 315 deer and ninej bear in the area outside the game j j refuge strip. Trappers did awayi jwith 217 coyotes, two mountain: . lions and 60 wildcats. i I HOOVER WRITES TO YOUNG CAMPAIGNER I HAIGLER, Neb., Feb. 4. (UP). There's one little girl here who J Refuses to string- along with the majority of the voters who elect-! ed Franklin D. Roosevelt to the | presidency of the United States last November. Jeannette Havlik, eight years old, had campaigned ardently in her own small way for the re election of Herbert Hoover. Her] regret knew no bounds when the j returns disclosed an overwhelm l ing defeat for her favorite candi I date. I * Now she's more than convinc i ed the nation erred, especially since the arrival of a personal letter from Hoover himself. The letter read: "White House, "Washington, D. C. "My Dear Jeannette: "Your mother has told me of your interest in the recent cam paign and I want you to know of my grateful appreciation. "Please accept my best wishes for a happy and joyous holiday time. "Yours faithfully, "Herbert Hoover."

Gilkey Boosted For U. S. Post Friends Would Make Him Fish Commissioner The Times-News Hiirenii Sir Walter Hotel RALEIGH, Feb. 4.—Friends of .T. Q. Gilkey, prominent Marion business man and a Democratic leader for years, who is spending several days in Raleigh, are push ing him for the office of U. S. commissioner of fisheries, it was learned yesterday. Strong support which the McDowell county man is receiving, it is believed, will make him a formidable contender for position. Mr. Gilkey has been a member of the >?tate board of conservation and development since its reor ganization in 1927, and previous to that time he was a member of the former fisheries commission board, which was merged with the board of conservation and devel opment. As a member of the two boards which have had supervision of both the inland and commercial fisheries of North Carolina. Mr. Gilkey has given considerable time and thought to the propaga tion and protection of game and fish, and friends believe him to be thmoroughlv qualified to fill the position as head of the U. S. bu reau of fisheries. Mr. Gilkey was one of the pio neers in the establishment of the system of fish hatcheries in North Carolina, fie nas Riven ciuse su pervision to the North Carolina hatcheries, particularly those in the mountain section of the state. Mr. Gilkey is well known throughout North Carolina. He has been active in Democratic party circles for years. Last year he was a candidate in the Demo cratic primary for congress from the 11th district, but was defeat ed by the veteran, Rep. Zebulon Weaver by a small majority. X-Ray Now Aid To Industries CLEVELAND, Feb. 4.—(UP). The X-liay, now of immense value to medical science, may assume al most equal importance in the steel industry, according- to research experts here. It is now being used to detect defects in metal castings, welded high pressure boilers and airplane parts. John A. Victoreen, radio inven toi-, who inaugurated the new service here, pointed out that the X-Ray offers the only means of compliance with government safe ty specifications requiring strict examination of all welded high pressure boilers and certain air craft parts. "There are a million things you have to look for in foundry prac "You've got to expect blow holes, cracks, shrinkage that causes por osity in the castings, and then find a way to eliminate them." He said that his laboratories were just scratching the surface of research possibilities in indus try and pointed out the X-Ray's ability to detect the effects of rolling on the crystalline structure of metals, the internal changes in structures during the cooling pro cess, and many other feats. With the new instrument, pic tures may be taken through any assembled machinery units, and if the thickness is too great for pen etration by X-Ray apparatus, pic tures may be had by overnight exposure of the object to radium emanation.

Prison-Highway Administration Merger Doubted The Times-News Bureau Sir Walter Hotel RALEIGH, Feb. 4.—Shoals are ahead for the reorganization committee's plan to consolidate the highway and prison depart ments, and opposition to the pro posal seems to have grown with in the past few days. The meas ure is the only one of the reor ganization committee's major hills now pending, and has been referred back to the committee at its own request. Indications are that many de tails of the proposed consolida tion plan will have to be worked out before it is in any kind of acceptable form, but even when the matter is presented to the senate again, it is believed that it will provide the biggest fight that body has seen this session. There are several good roads enthusiasts in the senate, includ ing Senator Kirkpatrick of Meck lenburg and Senator Aiken of Catawba, who will have to be pretty thoroughly convinced that such a measure would not wreck road maintenance. Senator John Sprunt Hill of Durham, has some ideas of his own about the sub ject, and is not expected to sup port the reorganization commit tee bill. While neither Chairman Jef fress of the highway commission nor Superintendent George Ross I'ou are opposed to the consoli elation plan, they are not v, strongly in favor of ft doubt whether it would re^ult-0^ a savin?.
