OLD AGE PENSION
MOVE NOT BACKED
BY DEPARTMENT
Bearing out a statement made in
The Times several weeks ago to the
i fleet that the "old age pension” move
as being carried on in this and other
> actions of the country was merely
to get a million dimes, a letter has
been received by Miss Sadie North of
Brevard from the U. S. Department
cf Labor, which is carried below:
f. S. DKPARTMENT OF LABOR
Bureau of Labor Statistics
WASHINGTON
April 19:14
Miss Sava C. North
647 Probart Street
Brevard. North Carolina
Dear Madam:
Your request addressed to the
President of the United States, re
garding an old age pension, has been
referred to this Bureau for special at
tention
President Roosevelt has always
1me greatly interested in the. estab
lishment of some system of caring for
the aged people of the various states.
While governi r of New York State
he signed an old age pension law for
the benefit of the aged needy of that
state. I feel sure that he will con
tinue this policy.
Apiv.oximat ly 27 states have old
age pension laws establishing a poli
sh r system in caring for the aged
residents • f the state. Your .state
has as yet passed no law on this sub
ject. and as there is >u> federal old
ag pension law, the federal govern
ment has no authority to pay pen
si in to private individuals. The
application blank attached to your
letter, therefore, has no official
significance, as no private individ
ual can Ik* of assistance to you in se
curing an old age pension. This mat
ter will have to depend entirely on
the action of the several legislative
bedies.
Until your state takes the neces
sary action by passing an old age pen
sion law, or congress takes some ac- (
tior., it will be impossible for you to
receive a pension. It is hoped that
such a law will be passed during the
next session cf the state legislature.
Very Truly yours,
ISADOR LUBIN,
Commissioner of Labor
Statistics.

Henderson Wants To Know How
; Candidates Stand On Prohibition
1 _
j Editor The Times:
I The interests of our people in the
! coming election are somewhat varied,
I presume.
The candidates no doubt are inter
ested chiefly each in his own election.
There may be some citizens who have
private interests that might be affect
ed favorably er unfavorably by the
enactment of certain laws. They are
for the candidate that promises to try
to give them what they want. Others
are interested more or less in public
enterprises that they think ought to
be boosted by favorable legislation.
The candidates that see it as they do
are their men. Still others are inter
ested in politics. They are for the
party, and all they hope to get out
of the election is just the joy of being
on the “beating side.”
But there is a crass of citizens that
are interested in the welfare of the
home and the well being of the indi
vidual. If they have party preference
they are not bound by party lines to
the disparagement of their claims to
moral character and Christian man
hood. They are aware that the wel
fare of the community and of the
state is dependent on a united people
working together for the common
good, and are committed to the repeal
of laws that are damaging to the
moral and physical manhood of the
state, and to the enactment of such
laws as safeguard a wholesome home
and community and institutional life
in every part of the state.
I refer to the United Dry Forces
of North Carolina. They are not con
cerned about the success of this
party or that but they are tremen
dously concerned that the party spirit
shall be assuaged to the extent that
a substantial majority of our best
citizens of all parties shall be able to
work together and to stand together
in an unrelenting war against a chief
enemy of the home, and of all that is
highest and best. Suppression of this!
enemy, beverage alcohol, is necessary
in providing wholesome environment
for our worthy aspiring young peo
ple.
It would seem that the shame and
disgrace and ruin that follows in the
wake of the drink habit would be
sufficient condemnation of this curse
to enlist every self-respecting man
and woman in a fight to the finish to
free North Carolina from the terrible
blight of legal and illegal beverage
alcohol in its every form.
I am persuaded that in the elections!
the United Dry Forces of the state
will exert an ever widening influence
until party lines will be eliminated
when it comes to the enactment of
laws to safeguard our youth from the
curse of alcoholic beverages.
We are kindly asking every candi
date in Transylvania county, of
whatever party to frankly and clearly
state his position with reference to
Prohibition in North Carolina.
Are you committed to the principle
of Prohibition? And will you make it
your business, in and out of it to try
to help make it harder for boys and
girls growing up in Transylvania
county and North Carolina to fonn
the drink habit?
We think we have the right to
know your answer to these questions
if you care for the votes of the United
Dry Forces of the county in the com
ing election.
J. K. HENDERSON, Chairman,
United Dry Forces of Transyl
vania County.
A stupid person has rio patience
with the stupidity of others.
A homely girl begins to enjoy life

No woman ever had a handbag big
enough to hold all she wanted to put

THE IDEA once prevailed that
electric refrigeration was an ex
tensive luxury. This is contrary
to the facts. Electric refrigeration
provides the cheapest form of ade
quate refrigeration available today.
It is not only incomparably superior to
ordinary refrigeration but it is actual
ly cheaper—much cheaper.
/
Electric refrigeration not only enables
you to have, with a minimum of trouble
anrl expense, delicious salads and
desserts, and other dishes, but it relieves
the housewife of a vast amount of
drudgery, discomfort and inconvenience.
It is the best and cheapest health
insurance you can have.
All in all an electric refrigerator is a
necessity in the modern home from the
standpoint of health, convenience and
economy—and the Kelvinator is the old
est and best in the field of electric re
frigeration.
