Member of North Carolina Press Association FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12. 1937 HE’S OI K CHARLIE HEAVENS! Carl Goerch doesnt know our Charlie! And, he admits it openly in The State yes terday. Well, that’s one error \e had better correct quickly, for there’s not a nicer chap in North Carolina than is Charlie. The young fry like him, but when he comes in to raid the icebox, he 's always welcome and a general fa vorite with parents as well. There are few boys anywhere as settled and yet as full of fun as Charlie. But here is what Brother Goerch said about him yesterday in dis cussing football contest results: “We don’t know Charles E. Moore, Jr., of Asheboro, personally, and we don’t know what kind of work he is doing or contemplates doing. But if we were in his place, we’d let everything slide and go into tne fortune-telling business. “Out of 29 games played by Big Five teams thus far this season, he has gu?ssed every cne of them cor rectly (ties don’t count) and, as a result, he still holds first place in The State's game-guessing contest in which prizes of $ 25,$15 and $10 are being offered for the best guess es. “But what a road that boy has to travel from now on! “Next Saturday he picks North Carolina to beat Duke and State to beat Manhattan. Later on, he picks Duke ro defeat Pitt. If he guesses right on those and others, we’re going to pal the young gentleman a personal visit and get him to ad vise us about the stock market. “However, Charles isn’t the only one with a chance at the cash prizes. His closest rival is a lady —Miss Hazel Crissman, of PittJ boro, who has made only ONE bad guess thus far. (Colgate over Duke). In the forthcoming garnet, she picks Duke to beat North Car olina, Manhattan to beat State and Pitt to beat Duke. “And then, we still have nine left who have made only TWO bad guesses thus far, and here they are: “R. N. Page, III, Aberdeen. “H. B. Owen, Fayetteville. “Mrs. Henry Lea, Jr., Winston Salem. “Dr. E. C. Powell, Jr., Rocky Mount. “Emily Hilker, Jr., Raleigh. “A. R. Crisp, Lenoir. “I. R. Williams, Reidsville. “Francis Pleasants, Aberdeen. “William Dunn, Jr., Raleigh. “Along with those, we have about twenty-five who have made onlv three bad guesses and probably fifty or sixty who have four guess es to their discredit. “At the other end of the list, we have some who have made as many as twelve and thirteen sorry guess es. “It will be interesting to observe the changes that take place in th' standings from now on. WeV inclined to believe that the folk who have made three bad guesser still have a chance at one of th' prizes. Also possibly those wh' hare as many as four misses mark ed up against them. “Next week well endeavor to publish a complete list of names of ta*ve a ch*nce HUNGER fNGER drove a 10-year-oM New York lad to hanging him in his hare apartment-home hey ana tired of going to bod gtfpitifrt after night, and hia fly thought he had got tip to ifie » gtape in the cupboard to until the father decided he could sell some trinkets and help along. The relief worker*, hearing- of his efforts to help his family himself, cut them off relief, ahd the Ne<" Yorkers Wouldn’t buy his trinkets. Possibly you read the story. If j you did, did you think—and did you ' wonder what relief is doing to peo ple? There must be some way of helping helpless people, and not stopping their own efforts. That father soon went to the hospital where they are trying to feed him /up sufficiently to operate. But, if our relief rules prevent an ill man from trying to sell a few trinkets and retain his self-respect as a pro vider foV his family, we had better set about at once to change our re lief methods. Surely we could work oil1 a plan to help people help themselves. Possibly relief rules are different in North Carolina from those in New York state. But, that’s the trouble—we do not know what they are. Wo should—we pay for :t. Again, the chorus is appropriate citizens should inform themselves. I . Washington 'Day Book By PRESTON GROVER Washington—People who grow excite 1 over what could happen to the $50,000,000,000 social security reserve now. piling up in the treas ury might be interested in what happened eo educational trust funds in the states. The social security money be ing paid in by employes and em ployers is used by the federal treasury for current expenses and government I.O.U. notes are sub stituted for it. It is all perfectly legal—not in the same class, of course, with what has been done by some states to federal school funds. Cornell Did All Right In the years before the Civil war, the government began making land grants to the States for edu cational purposes. Each state was expected to sell the land at a fair price. The money was to be put in “irrevocable” trusts so that only the interest' would be used to help school children learn the better way of life. Some states did very well. Cor nell university is partially sup ported by a healthy endowment | growing out of the wise operation of its share of the New York state 1 allotment. Old Ezra Cornell kept both the land and the money out I of the hands of political operators I and his name is praised to this I day. it is true tne tederai govern ment seemed to guard the land grants with all the protective leg islation a person could want the most potent of which was a re quirement that if any of the prin cipal of the fund should be lost, strayed, or be stolen, the state would have to make it good. Some states did the best they [ could, which often enough was jnot much. Others had politicians from time to time who looked upon the school endowment funds mainly as a means of pulling friends out of financial holes. Individual Loans Made Many a political hencyman has wheedled himself a loan from the endowment funds in amounts far out of proportion to the prop erty he left in the hands of the state as security. Some states still own barem mountain ridges and miles of cut-over forest land to show for husky lumps of educa tional funds. Some states simply dumped the endowment money into the state treasury to use for salaries and roads. In turn they prolhised to pay to the schools the yearly equivalent of five per cent inter ?st on the money diverted. They have to support the schools any vay so it is easy enough for a State to comply with the federal law by specifying that of the $2,800, 100 oi so appropriated for schools, $1,200,000 is really interest on the andowments. One western state, finding itself n the midat of an agricultural de pression, poured out the school noney in the form of loans on arms. Quite a few chunks went o favored sons of the state po itical party then in power as oana on worthless or nearly vorthless properties their owners lever expected to redeem. "It was the prise we had to pay or recovery,’' answered one poli ician, when called to account by a uccceding administration.

At the last session the Sen ate macerated and passed a _ . „ , . once-ambitious Rodney Dutcher acjm in istration wage-hour bill. The House labor committee made further changes and approved this measure. Then a combination of Republicans and Southern Democrats on the rules committee stifled it. House leaders promised to move to get the bill onto the floor at the next session as promptly as possible. That’s the way it stands now, except that in intervening months a strong, well-financed propa ganda campaign has been organized against the bill. The administration takes the attitude that most of the current criticism is designed not to improve the bill, but to kill it. The House bill provides for a labor standards board which would be empowered to establish maximum hours not lower than 40 a week and minimum wages not higher than 40 cents an hour. These standards would be set only for industries in interstate com merce (with numerous excep tions), industry by industry, and theoretically would be delayed ir application where threat of harm ful effects existed. If the administration continues Literary Guidepost By JOHN SELBlf “Footnotes To The Film,” Edited By Charles Davy; (Oxford: $•!. 50). A literary exploration of the movies, chiefly from the British point of view, is being published this month as “Footnotes to the Film.’" Charles Davy is the editor (for the book is a symposium) and binds the whole together with a concluding essay on the subject of whether the film is worth while, or noi. He thinks it is. A symposium is perhaps the most dangerous mould for a book. In this case, as in many others, the book would have been better had Mr. Davy interviewed the 17 col laborators, and then written the result of his research. There would then have been eliminated certain overlapping passages, the 17 per sonal biases would have been re focussed into only one personal bias (making everything much easier to evaluate), and the book would have had unity. Mr. Davy would, certainly, in sist that it has unity now Every body is talking about fiilms—Rob ert Donat as an actor, for example, and Alexander Korda as a director. But Graham Greene looks at things as Mr. Green, the writer, and Sid ney L. Bernstein from the dubious crag occupied by the theater own er. Say, for example, the doughty Mr. Bernstein: “The first function of the cinema should not be prop aganda but entertainment.... ” just like that! Editor Davy divides his book four ways. There is a preliminary section on which people speak for the director, the actor, the camera man. The collaboration of the other arts in film-making is discussed by five gentlemen, and in a third sec tion, the problems of the industry are considered by four more ex perts. Only in the concluding section, called “Films and the Public,” is the public overtly considered, and of the five people consulted, in ad dition to Mr. Davy, not one repre sents the public really. It seems curious that nobody thought of adding the patron to the list; cer Itainly there exits in Britain at , least one literate cinema patron who could have contributed an ar ticle written strictly from the lay ! viewpoint. Russia Gives Prises To Speed Production Moscow —Uft—Premiums and prizes have been awarded to 14,000 j coal miners in the Donetz basin by Lazar Kaganovich, commissar of heavy industry, to stimulate lag ging production.

Edited for the New York Acade my of Medicine By Jago faldston, M. D. Colds Prevention —II Good nutrition, adequate rest, fresh air, proper clothing and the avoidance of chilling the body, notably the feet, head and neck, help substantially in preventing colds and minimizing the damage they do when contracted. By “good nutrition” we have par ticularly in mind adequate vitamin intake. The claim tnat curiam mins are specifically cold preven tives is not upheld by experience. But it is true that individuals suf fering from vitamin deficiencies are likely to be more susceptible to cold infections. Particular attention should be paid to the intake of vitamins A, C and D, and, for good measure, vitamin B. These vitamins are con tained an whole- grain cereals, in the' green leaf vegetables, in the citrus fruits, in tomato juice, in eggs, milk, cheese and butter fats, and in fatty fish foods. To make certain of an adequate vitamin D intake, it is a wise precaution to add to the diet cod liver oil or one of the cod oil equivalents. One does not and should not take vitamins for vitamins’ sake. The so-called vitamin concentrates are to be used only on. the doctor’s pre scription. To insure an adequate vitamin intake, one need only build his daily diet around the stable foods— whole g&in cereals, eggs, milk, butter, cheese, fruits, green vege tables, plus meats and fish. Of adequate rest and fresh air we need not say much, except that excessive fatigue lowers vitality and resistance to infection. Attention to proper clothing, so as to avoid chilling the body, is an important item in the prevention of colds. Exposure of the feet and head and neck regions to chilling temperatures causes a correspond ing sudden change in blood circu lation. It has been shown that such quick changes in circulation lower the vitality of the cucious mem branes of the respiratory system. The barriers against infection are thus' weakened, and colds may fol low. One of the earliest scientific ob servations oh this score was made by Louis Pasteur. He found that chickens are ordinarily resistant to the anthrax germs, but chickens that have been immersed in cold water become susceptible to them. Common experience has many times shown that a cold is likely to follow exposure to cold drafts, and after one’3 feet have been cold and wet for some time. His Majesty The King Is A Tough Landlord London —4JPi—Think of the I British nobility, when rent day rolls around. Many of them hold estates which theoretically still belong to the king. So they pay their grasping royal landlord the terrific rent of—a snowball or a red rose. One family holds an estate sim ply because their ancestor, years ago, was always ready to do the king a good turn. He was prepared to carry a silver bowl and accom pany the king when he crossed the sea—in ease the sovereign got sea Quit rente, these are called. They're relicts at the fmdal eye = MANHATTAN By GEORGE TUCKER New York—In the front row at an opening of a play the other night sat an actress who used to be one of New York’s best, but who gave up Broadway to become a successful glamor girl of the films. Clutched tightly to her was a package of some sort and she held it so carefully that I asked her what in the world it was. “You look nervous,” I said, “that must be very valuable.” “I don’t know,” she said. “This could be a small fortune er it-could be nothing." Then she explained: “I keep my jewels and their imitations in identical boxes. This afternoon I thought I was taking the imita tions down to a friend who wanted t.o borrow them, but suddenly 1 had a premonition that these were the leal ones, and now I can't tell until 1 have my jeweler look at them. He’s going to let me know after the theater. “But couldn’t you tell be com paring them with the other set at home?” "No, I couldn’t. As a matter of fact, it was my friend who first thought that I had made the mis take. I Wanted her to wear the jewels anyway but she refused. It war, too late to go by my jewel ers than, but I telephoned him and made arrangements to see him after the theater.” Next day I hurriedly scanned the headlines to see if some snatch-thief had relieved the pret ty of her jewels. But evidently she got them safely home. Can you imagine taking a fortune to the theater and not knowing whether it's a phoney or real? At the automobile show I ran into further activities of the camera fiends. They were mostly tourists, armed with diminutive motion picture cameras, who lurked in ths aisles waiting to take pictures of the celebrities who sauntered past the cars. Oim young man said enthusias tically: “This is great. When I get home I’m going to give a motion picture show, charging admission, and I'll make enough to spend Xmas in Havana.” Among the “names” he had caught were Helena Rubinstein, Police Commissioner Lewis Val entine, Gertrude Lawrence, George M. Cohn, Jack Dempsey, Guy Lombardo, Paul Draper, Oscar of the Waldorf, Sylvia Sidney and Henry Fonda. •' Another favorite diversion of the camera-minded ones was to pose in the ritzier machines, either behind the wheel or leaning non dr^ijantly against the door while having themselves photographed. A third ruse was asking a celeb rity for a match while a confed erate “shot” the scene. He could then return home and flash him helf on the screen getting a light from Doug Fairbanks or whom ever it happened to be. Some fun!
