WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1934 ~~ ~~BIBLE THOUGHT "THY WORD ' »• -. -kv : is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.'' (Ps. 119:15) ♦ • * ; '*• '■ v ■ One of the most practical benefits of Holy Writ is guidance m the acts of daily life: it is not sent / to astound us with its brilliant, but to guide us by | its instruction. It is true the head needs illuminn tion, but even more the feet need direction, else head and feet may both fall inte a ditch.

(By BRUCE CATTON) The most interesting stunt that will be tried in Germany this winter will be en attempt by the Nazi authorities to per suade everybody that it's nice to be hun gry. Germany faces a terrifically difficult winter. The economic crisis gets graver. An actual shortage in certain food supplies is foreseen. The raw materials on which many of Germany's greatest industries de pend cannot be obtained, because Ger many has nothing to use for money to buy them. So, facing a season of want and hard ship, the Hitler government is preparing to meet it in a new way—by persuading people that tightening your belt is great fun. The opening guns in this strange propa ganda campaign have already been fired. The bad economic situation is being blamed on the errors of Hitler's predeces sors in office and on the hoatifcty of "cer tain international cliques" outside of Ger many. . After this will come great broadsides extolling the virtues of endurance and self sacrifice. A tremendous barrage of ora tory, billboards, and newspaper articles fvill glorify the Spartan ability to do with out things. Germany will be sold, if the energetic Nazis can possibly accomplish k, on the idea that a winter of extreme hardship is only a new challenge to pa triotism. » jNow this is interesting, not simply be cause Herr Hitler is going to try to make an asset out of a great liability. Its real significance lies in its revelation of the tremendous power which control of the sources of propaganda gives to a man or a party in this modern world. i A dictatorship does not, in the last an alysis, depend direetly on guns and bayo nets. It depends on the power to moid public opinion. AH that the guns and bay duets can do is pat that power exclusively ii the dictator's hands. j In other words, a dictatorship does not survive because it makes people put up inth its sway; it survives because, quite ^iterally, it can make them like it. . It does violence to the mind and not to uhe body. It creates the state of mind that ip favorable to it; as long as it can do that, ifcs acts of actual terrorism are only inci dental. r r Could there be a greater object lesson in favor of free speech and a free press? As long as the sources of propaganda are open to all, there can be no dictatorship. It might be interesting to know if Adolf Hkler has kept up his payments on his paperhanger's union card, in case he needs tv go back to work. I Tbera seems to be ground for belief that tljr« Dapaitment of Agriculture is waiting njoney.

WITH CHARLESTON August 31, 1886, provided the South with a thriller. It was hot. As evening came on, the sun set in the midst of a peculiar saffron glow, doubt less caused by dust but afterwards given the sig nificance of an omen. Shortly after nine o'clock at night Raleigh sat up and took notice. There was a roll to the ground as if it were a sea with a slight swell. An uncanny motion gave for surprise, for nausea, for fright. Houses rocked visiUy. ' Dishes clattered. Chandeliers clinked. Thert was a moment of stillness and of awe and then the better informed realized that an earth quake was in progress. There was a rush to the street and the clamor and chattering set in. Here and there a millenium-seemer went into vociferous shoutings. Dogs barked. In the negro quarters re sounded shrieks and chantings. Superstitious ears cocked themselves to get the first note of Gabriel's prophetic trump. Cautious parents rushed to grab sleeping children from their beds. One minute quivered expectantly on the next, with no one knew what result. The Charleston earthquake was on and Raleigh needed no seismograph to be ap prised of the fact! Several shocks occurred in the space of an hour or so, but none as violent as the first. For days afterwards there would be a quiver and a tinkle or a movement of pendant objects. And the talk! No casting about for a subject of conversation. What had been escaped, what might have hap pened had the few fallen chimneys been multi plied, what had happen in Charleston, when the ?ike would happen again, and so on and so on, plus experiences and narratives of just what the ' narrator was doing when the shock came and what he did afterwards! Never did such a little shaking loose so many clacking tongues!—Raleigh Times. I ANOTHER PROTEST A mighty protest went up from all the civilized world at the Hitler policy toward Jews in Ger many. Nearly everybody knows that life for the Jewish contingent was made miserable and dan gerous by a ruthless persecution, that drove thou sands out of the country. Not so widely appreci ated is the plight of the Christian population, both Protestant and aCtholic. The Hitler government has laid an iron hand upon church government and is consenting to, if not approving, an active Nazi attack on Christianity itself. The Universal Christian Council for Life and Work, meeting in Denmark, h$s just issued a ring ing protest against the Nazi treatment of Chris tianity in Germany and an appeal for freedom of j the church in that harassed land. It declared that ! autocratic church rule, the use of force and the smothering of all free discussion was "utterly in compatible with the true nature of the Christian church." The council further demanded the fol lowing rights for Christians in Germany: "Freedom to preach Christianity." "Freedom of the printed word and of assembly ; in the service of the Christian community." "Freedom for the church to instruct its youth | in the principles of Christianity and immunity i from the compulsory imposition of a philosophy of j life antagonistic to the Christian religion." In all this we see just one of the counts held ' against Nazi rule in Germany by all the modern t civilized people of the world. It is one of the major reasons for well-nigh universal dislike, even hostility, toward the new government. A curious outcome of the situation is that Hit ler seeks with evidently a large measure of suc 1 cess to convince the German people that the now distrust and hostility toward their government merely shows the jealousy, meanness and intoler I ance of other nations.—Spartanburg Herald. TENNESSEE AND THE HEARING The news from Knoxville that Tennessee is planning to make a vigorous presentation at the Scenic Parkway hearing before Secretary Ickes here in Ashevillc next Monday is, of course, only ' what was to have been expected. Mr. Ickes will give full consideration, undoubtedly, to any claims which the Tennesseeans may put before him. We are sure, however, that he will make his decision in the light of the realities. North Carolina has nothing to fear from a de cision thus rendered. The parkway has been pro jected as a scenic parkway—and we have the scenery. It has been projected also as a public works enterprise one of the purposes of which is to stabilize population. Routed as North Carolina urges it will be a Godsend to the mountain coun try in which the tourist business has been centered for three-quarters of a century. Routed as Ten nessee proposes it would be a dissastrous blow to those counties. It would take away from North Carolina the eastern entrance to the park and would give that entrance to Tennessee, which al ready has the western entrance. We do not have to be afraid of any showing which Tennessee can make before the secretary of the interior. Our concern must be to present our own case clearly and intelligently to the end that he shall be enabled to understand the situa tion thoroughly. We can have full confidence in the outcome of a decision that is made on the merits of the case.—Asheville Citizen. DRUNK DRIVERS The Linden Leader quite truthfully and aptly remarks that: "If only the drunk drivers got k;illed it wouldn't he so bad* but when they bump into ^lean and or • derly people, and kill them, that's something: elso. No drunk driver should be let go witho-ut confisca tion of his car and driver's license. Such birds need a lesson they'll not soon forget and need to get it at the first offense."—Huron County News. Now that the government has solved the prob | lem of hungry cows by canning 'em, some way , may be found to dispose of the drug store cow , hoys. 1 Chicago people are looking ahead to a pleasant winter.

LOCKED OUT Textile industry labor dispute •--ST V • HUMU INFECTED IN THE HEAD By W1CKES WAMBOLDT Persons who have reasonable knowledge of sanitary measures are careful to protect their bodies from infection. An intelligent person will not bandage a wound with a filthy rag, will not drink impure milk. He will not put dirty food into his mouth; he is strongly averse to occupying a bedroom of using articles that —, have been used by some one who has a contagious disease. Yet every day intelligent p e r sons expose themselves wil lingly to mental infection. Every day person*,, who are rigidly (Sani tary in a, Physi cal way, will al Wamboldt 1 o w themselves to be contaminated astoundingly in a mental way. A man who will punctiliously wash his hands every time he has shaken hands with persons, that he may not transmit to himself any of their disease germs, will let those same persons fill his mind with mental disease germs. An unwholesome thought is a mental disease germ. If it £ets into the mind and fastens itself there, the entire mentality may be infected by it, as a tick gives a cow the Texas f«ver. A man who commits some crime, has had his mind infected by some crime disease germ. Professional politicians are apt to have their minds thoroughly infected with the germs of political rascality and public exploitation. That dis ease is so common ami so persis tent that it has become chronic among many of those who follow politics for a living. Today, a. man who goes into politics and keeps himself from being morally infect ed, must use rigid protective measures. I Men who are dccenl and who | really desire to keep themselves and others decent, will sit for hour after how, pumping- dirty stories into each others' minds until they feel at the end of the orgy as if their mentalities and their souls should be scrubbed with carbolic acid as a matter of purification. Sometimes a deadly mental dis ease germ will drop into the mind from goodness knows where. Un less speedily destroyed, it may spread and multiply until the en tire consciousness is filled with it and the entire outlook is clouded and corrupted. A person thus men tally infected may procecd to do things so atrocious that later on he he will be amazed at his own actions, and will ask himself won deringly: "What could have pos sessed me?" Something had pos sesesd him, all right, all right. A vicious mental infection had pos sessed him. The physical body is so con structed that under ordinary con ditions it will protect itself against infection. If every dangerous dis ease germ that has entered youi system had lived and multiplier you would have been dead lonp ago. Every day your body ward; off and the white cells in youi blood destroy thousands, yes, mil lions of obnoxious microbes. While the body automatical^ protects itself from infection, the mind does not, unless it has beer taught to do so. The owner of i mind has to train that mind t( safeguard itself against thought contamination. How? By educat ing the mind to reject and e.jecl harmful thoughts the instant thej appear. Once sveh thoughts an permitted to lodge, they are dif ficult, perhaps, impossible to re move. Sometimes flight is the safe guard to employ against a men ace of mental infection, just a: flight is sometimes the course t( pursue to escape bodily contagior or infection.

The County Consumers' Councils, lubsequently organized under the wing of the National Emergency i Council, will have a real tryout I now that the drouth has brought | a threat of profiteering in food. Cities which have active, effective I councils—only a few as yet—may i consider themselves lucky. Sev eral of these groups already have waged spectacular, successful bat ties against price-gougers who were using the NRA or AAA as smoke screens. Here and there, according to cur rent complaints, stores are tryint to create minor panics by urginj customers to Uoard canned foods ir advance of the coming higher-pric< period." "Canning crops" are re ported 16 per cent above last year's # * * rpHE NEC's Consumers' Division "7 working with the NRA Consum pi's' Advisory Board and the AA> Consumers' Counsel, is preparinj information as to th® available sup plies of canned goods, comparing this year's pack with last year's and supplying them to the conn cils so the latter will know exactlj what's what. The local councils can raise al the trouble they like, though NEC tries to see that thiy don't go of half-cocked. They receive plentj of ammunition from Washington ii confidential summaries of th< thiuss the NRA and AAA consume; prices and quality standards this last year and advice on specific local complaints. ♦ • • nriTE councils can act in many cases where the government can't. If local dealers combine to raise milk prices, they can urge the mayor to call a hearing, present evidence as to the fairness of the hoost, and make all kinds of hub* bub. In coming months they will be collecting local food prices and comparing them with prices in other cities as published by the Consumers' Guide. The most active and effective ones so far are in Indianapolis, Boston,, Albany, Louisville, St Louis, New Orleans, Bozeman, Mont., and Lincoln, Neb. * * TN St. Louis a di\^sional NRA : code authority last May an nounced a new retail price schedule ! which boosted standard coal 45 pel ' cent. The local CC made a carefa • study, focused public attention uti til the newspapers and everyom ' else in town were hollering, inati ■ gated public hearings, and showet • the increases were outrageous. > Back here, the Consumers' Divl ■ sion went to bat with NRA, ar > ranged consumer representation a' I emergency coal price hearing! ■ everywhere and eventually per ' suaded NRA to disapprove the St Louis priqe determination. 1 Dr. Wilferd Thorp is the new di ' rector of the Consumers' Divisior ■ and Henry B.

As the manager of the Hodge well hotel, I wish to call attention through the press to the fact that the newsboys selling tne Asheville Sunday Citizen-Times and the daily papers are on the streets, on the post office steps, and imme diately around my hotel, from 6:30 to 7:00 a. m. each morning, waking up my guests and giving them no chance for further sleep once they have disturbed their rest and brought them down into the lobby. We have a complete news stand, giving all papers full representa tion, on our corner, and I see no ; reason why either my guests or myself should be disturbed at this early hour by a bunch of noisy urchins who are competing with a legitimate merchant who pays li cense to sell newspapers and mag azines on our corner. I sincerely believe that the city commissioners of the City of Hen dersonville should endeavor to have a stop put to this public ; nuisance. Sincerely vours, 1 EDWARD FOORE, I Manager of the Hodgewell Hotel. Hendersonville, N. C., September 3, 1934. [ Editor of The Times-News, 1 Hendersonville, N. C. 1 Deai- Sir: 1 Recently there appeared in the ' Voice of the People column of your newspaper a letter signed by ' a Hendersonville merchant won dering why license could not be put on newsboys selling in compe tition directly in front of his place of business. As a man who was formerly in the newspaper and magazine busi ness, I wish to say '?iat I am heartily in sympathy with this merchant who pays license and feel that some meaas of controll ing this unfair competition should be instigated by our mayor and city commissioners. Sincerely yours, .: : BLAINE JACKSON.

A number of white and colored clergy of the diocese of Upper South Carolina and Western North Carolina have been asked to take part in the service. The public is cordially invited to at tend. plague, we should know exactly what to do. Similarly, it is some times but the part of wisdom speedily to get away from some condition that may give us a dan gerous mental infection.
