RACE TRACK GAMBLING PROPOSED for Mcdowell county A bill to legalize horse racing and pari mutuel betting in McDowell county has been jammed through the Legislature. It was passed in a great hurry, the rules be ing suspended in order to get the job done quickly. It was put through by the same kind of tactics the Legislature attempted with the beer bill, and with more success, due no doubt to the fact that it was a local instead of state-wide bill. Any legislation enacted in this fashion is branded and damned by its supporters; and that is true of the McDowell county bill. However, the voters of McDowell county are to be allowed to pass on the measure at the polls and say whether or not they will make a race track and gam bling arena out of their county. The McDowell bill was passed Tuesday and on Wednesday Senator Bell of this county attempted to secure reconsidera tion of the bill, but his motion was lost. Senator Bell attempted this action in re sponse to the plea of J. Wallace Winborne of Marion, chairman of the State Demo cratic committee, who opposed the enact ment of the Jaw. The Times-News knows nothing of Mr. Winbome's reasons for opposing the es tablishment of race track gambling in his county, but this newspaper hazards the guess that one of his reasons is a sincere desire to prevent the Democratic party of North Carolina from committing suicide. And The Times-News does not mean to say that the enactment of a local bill for McDowell county, no matter how bad the bill may be, is reasonable cause for party suicide; but this newspaper does mean to say, and will say, that if race track gam bling is legalized in McDowell county the Democratic party in North Carolina will be charged with full responsibility for this grave mistake. In the coming years it will be compelled to bear the responsibility and odium of beer legislation and for the rot ten record of the present Legislature in many other matters. The party cannot es cape responsibility for this legislative rec ord and it will not be able to escape the accounting which the people of North Car olina are going to demand of the Demo cratic party in the future. The Legislature seems to have the deter mination to dig a capacious and deep grave and then blow the party's brains out and let it drop into the hole. SHALL THE FIRE RECORD STAND? The record of Henderson county fire losses for the past few years is a record that is disgraceful. Is Henderson county going to continue that record into the fu ture? Or do we propose to have a house cleaning—literally and figuratively? We should have a concerted effort among ali good citizens to put an end to incendiary fires; and then we should have an intelli gently directed and honest county-wide ef fort to reduce fire losses th&t result from carelessness and other preventable causes. Camera expert says movie actresses are really not as thin as camera trickery makes them look. But are they as dumb? Considerable bootlegging of gasoline re ported in Pennsylvania. Bootleggers are probably selling it as whisky with nobody the wiser. \ \ \ v > Ul. NEWSPAPERS' OPINIONS ANOTHER RECORD The members of the 1933 General Assembly of North Carolina will not become famous or infa mous, as the case may be, for just the one reason that they harnessed a general sales tax on Tar Heel people. Although that ought to be ignominy enough to satisfy the most avid seeker after questionable honors, there is another record which has been set —and that is that the House is nearing the fifteen hundred mark in the number of bills introduced this session. Two years ago in the marathon ses sion when the legislature ground away for 141 days, the record to that date was set, and 1,145 measures were presented for passage. To Representative Coffey, of Caldwell county, persistent advocate of the sales tax in spito of general sentiment against such a levy throughout Lenoir and most of his county, goes the palm for having presented House Hill No. l,14fi last Friday, which set a new all-time record for the number introduced. Of course, several bills have made their appearance since that time and perhaps a good many more will have found their way into the legislative hopper before the present session writes finis to its hectic heyday of political hara kiri. The point is, as the Greensboro News notes, there is nothing to be proud of in a record number of bills presented in a session pledged to economy, and how? The following excerpt of this comment of The News is interesting: Any number of factors may have entered into the new h»<»h figure. Much as one hates to believe it. house members may not only cling to the idea, but have it growing upon them, that county, state, national and world problems can be solved by passing a law. There are infinitely more problems to be solved than ever before; hence more laws are proposed, if not actually passed. Inability of the present general assembly, and therein the legisla tors may be acting like the most of us, to make up its mind may be a contributing factor. Instance after instance might be cited where the house has looked with favor upon a measure today, repealed it tomorrow, and then come back to its original or i slightly altered position the next day. How many of the measures proposed have ac tually been placed on the books the Daily News Joes not know. But, surely, the total has been suf ficient to make them more cluttered up than ever, to cause a floundering citizenry to have still less certainty as to when it is or is not violating the aw, and to make the legal profession, which has far more than its quota in the assembly, more nec essary and hence more lucrative. All this too is beside the point that it costs the axpavers to have bills proposed, put through cer :ain preliminaries and discussed; yet a legislature •vhich is pledged to economy sets a new mark. No .vonder establishment of this new record is not leralded with paeans of acclaim, and the brows of those who established it wait in vain for bestowal jf laurel wreaths.-—Hickory Record. BOYCOTT BEER DEALERS To the Editor of The Observer: While beer-drinking parties here on May Pay were boisterously celebrating1, a group of earnest citizens were meeting in West Raleigh to protect themselves against what they conceived to be the baneful effects of legalized beer. They proposed to put themselves definitely in line with the na tion-wide movement to resist the brewers in their efforts to make beer a part of the stock in trade of every grocery store and filling station. These citizens met for business and organized for definite action. The first aim will be to pre<s the "Buy Dry" movement in their community. A committee was named to see the local grocers and druggists and filling station men to encourage them not to handle beer. This committee immediately went to work. They offered these dealers their trade and their influence on condition that they agreed not to handle the drink. They frankly told those who proposed to handle it that they would have to boycott them. The approach was in the spirit of good friends and neighbors. They assured them that the boycott would be purely in self-de fense, and in no sense vindictive. This was em phasized in the meeting of citizens. Parents strong ly expressed their unwillingness to have their chil dren enter stores or other plaees where beer is sold, believing the ideal of total abstinence will be undermined in children who daily witness the purchase of beer under the protection of the -law. The parents declared also, that they wished them selves to avoid the revolting sight. And they pro pose to tell their grocer and druggist that, if they hand booze over their counters, they will feel com pelled to go elsewhere to escape the sight. They hope thus to encourage enough places to remain dry to meet the demands of the "Buy Dry" move ment. And the committee was encouraged by their visits. Some places were found dry in sentiment, but in danger of yielding to the clamor of a few booze lovers. The offer of support by booze haters will keep them dry. The new organization will be known as the Wil mont Citizens club, with Mrs. Lillian Parker Wal lace, of the Meredith College faculty, as chair man.—S. L. Morgan, in Charlotte Observer. A BANK OF HONOR An interesting story comes from Sarasota, Fla., where the Ringling circus makes its winter home and where John Ringling established a bank in the palmy Florida days. When the real estate boom in that state collapsed the Ringling bank was crip pied and recently accepted voluntary liquidation. John Ringling is dead but his widow was named chairman of the board since she was the principal stockholder. She has announced that the deposits in the bank, which amount to $411,000, will be paid 100 per cent and the settlement will be made from her private funds. It is a far cry to the days at Baraboo, Wis., when the Ringling boys established their first cir cus. It has grown to be the giant of the circus world. The Ringlings banished the shell game and other eatch pennies from their shows. They adopt ed the principle to give value received for every admission sold to their shows. Mr. Ringling also banished shell game methods fropi his bapkipg it! • Go East, Young Man, Go East ^>MTSlOA!J A 1R K // - , .y k U<$LC*hf STANDARD Li/ Undernourishment of Mil lions Feature of New ; Five-Year Plan Ily EUGENE LYONS United Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW, May 5. — (IJP). — Progressive lowering of living standards in the last year, chief ly as a result of difficulties with the "socialized" peasantry, is the most apparent element in tbe Soviet economic picture of the second five-year plan. Sensational comparisons with the famine of 1921, when mil lions died, clearly are exaggera tions, as all foreign observers who witnessed that tragedy and are living here now can testify. The present condition more cor rectly can he described as un dernourishment for many mil lions, amounting in the worst re gions, such as Ukraine and North Caucasus, to near-hunger. OFFICIAL. ADMISSION The fact that the government j has undertaken to feed the peas-, ant population in many districts, especially in the Kuban and Don Cossack areas, amounts-to an of- j ficial admission of the seriousness of the situation in those places. Foreigners, who visited the af fected regions recently brought back drab reports. In some of the villages the inhabitants are without bread and they subsist exclusively on potatoes and other substitutes. Livestock is being slaughtered in those villages, to the detriment of the whole na tional supply of animal products. Rut it must remembered that conditions are far from uniform in the Soviets. At one extreme are the half-starved Caucasian, Ukrainian and Lower Volga vil lages. At the other are relative ly well-fed villages of the Central provinces. Western Siberia, Up per Volga and other areas. That food shortage is the most pressing national problem, how ever, is a self-evident fact. Kven in the capital rations have been i reduced to a minimum. FIGHT DIKFltULI IhS The brighter colors in an other wise black picture are provided by the vigor with which the rul ing Communist party is moving to overcome the difficulties. On thei "'Agrarian Front," the Kremlin has mobilized its best forces against hostile conditions. In the worst provinces commis sions have been set up, with pow er to "mobilize" unwilling labor for sowing and harvesting. Re calcitrant Villages are being pun ished en masse, sometimes by ex ile to Far North. ,The death penalty is being used unsparingly. Hut the IJolshevik regime does not count casualties. Deliberate ly it is intensifying the class struggle in every village, on every collective farm, 'the kulaks being hunted out and punishet. pitilessly. In the midst of such a fierce struggle, life in the Soviet Union naturally is harsher than it has been for some years. HOLLYWOOD FILM SHOP By ALANSON EDWARDS United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, May G.—(UP). If stone ago gentlemen hadn't started high hatting their women folk, there probably would be no room today for the army of Hol lywood artisans who turn out clothes creations for movie stars.

It nearly always works. "You can readily fee why near ly all fashion designers for the movies are men. We know what our fellow men will fall for."

Uncle Sam knows most of the answers, after a careful study of the bankruptcies of numerous salaried and wage-earning indi viduals. Optimism—that's the chior rea son.
