TAR HEEL SCRAP BOOK —fMsaa*:-#*' BY ‘"t No matter how reluctant the stoats' of intellectual highbrows may be to accept the movie as a cultural influ ence toe fact remains that much ol! toe interest in lftlraziies and their es tablishment in the' little towns tony be traced to the previous establish ment of. movie houses. ; ^ . . Now that everyone is familiar with , > toe mption picture play many fans are aroused to toe fact that they have! been missing something. Who is this I author of “The little Minister” or I of “DavidiCopperfield” that otoe|, fans ' '4?' • should reel in ecstasy upon Vtoen bill-! boards announce the appearance of an] opus from their pen at the cinema. ’ % The library is ..toe answer—and not to tte left behind accepting their toon-* ies blindly, even the most lethargic! % toddles off to toe library. Once there j he is often surprised at toe dimrinesa * and the smallness and the inadequacp] of his |ome town book shelves. Genu ine shame engulfs him when he real-! izes that his own apathy is partly re-! sponsible for the conditio^-- i j ^Jhe football fan, the up-and-coming member of the local chamber of com- : merce realizes at last deep down with in him that in spite of the splendid climate, the good citizenry, the clean irtreets, the good water supply, the . good highway' connections and the up-and-at-’ew looking golfcqurse of ere may stiU' tb-other ftea Sona why tourists choose Southern Pfiies ’or Waynesyille for their stop overs. ' Katherine Newlin Burt, certainly a desirable type of tourist or Yankee sojourner to Southern climes gave the tourist’s viewpoint on this matter in a letter to “Hie Pilot” more than two years ago. I Bhall quote from the letter: "A town without a library is either one of such a high degree of culture and wealth that each family has a well stocked and up to date book room of his own; or it is a town of such low degree of culture that it cares ro keep in touch neither with modem life nor with the past.” That is stating the matter in no uncertain terms. She further states: “Students use the library, young and mature people who like to be up to the times and certainly can better pay a momtter ship fee than the price of outstanding best sellers.” Mrs. Burt, who is a successful nov elist herself, as well as being the wife of a perhaps even better known novel ist, Struthers Burt, enumerates the types who use the Southern Pines li brary as school children, parents, sick people, convalescents, tired business men, and women who prefer to rent rather than buy bboks. “Unless I am very much mistaken,” she opines, “I seem to have heard from our business men expressions of interest in the pleasure of our winter visito:/..” . There is another very important rea son for maintaining libraries in our home towns which Mrs. Burt does not mention. That is the providing of an attraction to our better class of na tives, When we educate our sons and daughters we need them settle in the home town and carry on the industries which we have started or to built? up ■' the town by making new jobs or new industries for themselves. 'But what is the situation when the , young graduate retunis and caafar an eager eye atlout the home town before settling into his life work? Too often the town seems flat anil M dull. He misses the intellectual stimu lus of his student companions. When he approaches some pet subject which ’ is still fresh on his mind from lecture "hall or seminar he is met with an ap-; palling Vacuity. i He realises that the home-towners ■ have not kept up with things. Too of ten they cannot follow except when the conversation is held to petty local affairs or the general news of the daily paper. Too often they have no y - of curreflt! ivmitS1 or of7 MW AridS . in science or the arts. He turns fox ■ a ■» solace to the library. And if his town ,> i boasts any library at all what does he r find in it. A few'seedy volumes per . 4 found them unsuited to his own needs, ; haps contributed by some one who if • frowsy shelf of detective and my stery stores perhaps, a few well worn 14 - (Continued On Page Ehght; : ■■■-'TTr--’.' ~.: "j."i. .

For three and a half hours they had lUen talking to the President about that most distressing election year topic—taxes. Also, they had been listening to the President on the same subject, and had found no comfort in his words. In tile fortnight preceding that fate ful Thursday night meeting there had been many optimistic predictions by Congress leaders that only a modest $600,00<),(j00---enough to meet the de mands bf tile stop-gap farm program -would }>e expected * at the session. disabused them of that taxes to meet the follow ing calls on the Treasury: ~ 1. $500,000,000 annually for thd farm program’ ■ ' 2. $120,000,000 annually the next nine years to finance the cost of paying the bonus nine years ahead of the due date. 3. $500,000,000 in temporary taxes to make up the deficiency caused by the Supreme Court decision invalidat ing the AAA. The President suggest ed that this might be divide” int„ two or three annual installments. That program boils down to addi tional taxes of $786,000,000 annually for the next three years and $620, 000,000 for the six years thereafter. Explaining his plan at his press conference on Friday, the President said that Congress might be able to reap a windfall of $150,000,000 or so by recovering some of the impounded processing taxes which were returned to processors after the Supreme Court ended the career of the AAA. But he did not know exactly how that might Lb arranged. ». 1 The purpose of the new tax pro gram is to return the budget to the condition it was in before the AAA processing taxes were ruledout. At that time the regular budget was in balance, but no provision had been made for relief. Subsequently, at a Congressional committee hearing. Sec retary Morgenthau made an off-hand estimate of $2,000,000,000 as the> amount needed for relief in the fiscal year starting July 1. A White House proposal that $620, 000,000 bte added to corporate indus try’s annual tax bill through a major revision of the federal revenue system Monday stressed an obviously appre hensive Congress to immediate con troversy. Tid ing enough in a special message, President Roosevelt suggested that farm relief and payment of the bonus be flriartfced from J tax on profits which corpora tions amass in their treasuries an sur plus instead of distributing as divi dends. Later, speaking to the pjespv }ie drew a broad distinction bletween, re serves—to provide working capital and" cover depreciation of equipment—and surplus, which he said represented earnings, needed by the smaller stock holders, which should be taxed or dis tributed. In both the message and at jus press conference, he condemned the accumu lation of undistributed profits as a method of evading taxation. The mes; sage termed this an '“gviT; that “W reached disturbing proportions from, the standpoint of the inequality it «>, presen island of tts 'seriW effect ,^ theo federal1 revenue.” . federal1 revenue.” With some Democrats applauding while others were openly .critical, frowning; with many Republicans frank in their denunciation;, and .ad ministration leaders emphasizing that the President’s plan was only-a “sug gestion,’’ machinery was geaiVvi fbr starting * tax biU throqgh Coj^tess. . 1 "■ - Meeting of county COMMISSIONERS The following business was tranesactj id by the County Commissioners at heir meeting at the Court House last tfonday: Miss Si fpson, Home Demonstra ion Agent, called and made her re )ort for February.
