DOUGLAS.Editor MISS A TROWBRIDGE. .Associate SUBISCRIPTION KATES Per Year. Six Months ... . -60 HE THAT WILL SOT WORK.... Welcome news to taxpayers and people who believe that hard work i» the way one should make a living femes from the head relief office in Raleigh. N'> more shall there be hand-outs to those who refuse to work at a fair price when work is offered. The news story, carrying a September 13th date line, comes from Raleigh like this: RALEIGH. Slept. 13—Mrs. Tho mas O’Berry, state relief adminis trator, this afternoon announced she had been instructed by federal relief authorities to “purge reliet rolls of persons who can find private employment." Her instructions ,she said, “When a client on the relief rolls is offered a job in the community where he lives, in the same line of work that he has been accustomed to do, he must accept that job or be taken from the relief roll. If the remuner ation that he receives from his job is not sufficient to equal the amount he received from the relief roll, the difference shall be considered his budgetary need and he will be allow ed that much by the relief offices. Mrs. O’Berry would make no comment when she was asked if striking textile workers would be (ienied relief in the event they re fused to work at jobs oftered them. She said all relief was being given on a case work basia. She requested that ithe public cooperate and report to relief offi ces the names of any persons who are offered jobs and refuse them in order to continue on relief. Complaints, she said, were coming to her office from every part of the state that persons are refusing work on farms, in private business and domestic service and giving as their reasons that the government will feed them. . The administrator emphasized that the order applied to persons offered farm or domestic jobs. Mrs. O’Berry also announced the establishment of a cannery to process beef cattle at New Born. The plant will give work to about 400 persons. We’re glad, and there are hundreds and thousands of other North Caro linians who rejoice that the go fers" will “go-fer” no more. The term “go-fer” has been aptly applied by a local citizen to those people who refuse to work, prefer ring to go for (go-fer) a bag of groceries to the welfare office each week. We have no criticism to offer to those people who are in hard t'i* cumstanees through no fault of their own, and who are forced to get help from relief agencies for their farni- ] lies. These fellows, however, are j willing to work at a dollar a day, or J for a bushel of meal, a bushel of ^ potatoes, or other edibles. thrill-crazy world IS AFFECTISG W. .V. C. We wonder if the thrill-craze has struck Western North Carolina to such an extent that people have to see death-defiance before they will attend a county fair. In several papers over the state the following “help wanted” adver tisement has been carried the past week: WANTED — SINGLE MAN 1U drive standard make passenger automobile in a head-on collision with another automobile at the Cleveland County Fair, Shelby, in connection with the International Congress of Daredevils on the race track on Friday afternoon only, September 28th. Must crash at 40 miles per hour or no pay, and give unconditional release in case of injury or death. Already have man for other car. Name terms. Write B. Ward Beam, Cleveland County Fair, Shelby, N. C. If people are going to fairs for such spectacles as this will be, (pro vided of course that there are two fools with little enough sense to try the stunt) and it is necessary to fur nish such thrill-makers, we move that county fairs be abolished. We take off our liats to a fellow like Carl Goerch, publisher of The State, who has the backbone to come out in an editorial and admit that he was wrong rn a question as big as repeal of the prohibition laws. Not being in such a place right now, we hesitate to commit The Times as to just how it would act in like case, but we think a lot more of Editor Goerch and his fine publication since reading the September 15th is'uc. “North Carolina is a thousand times better off under the Turlington act than it would be if it followed the example set by other states and per mitted liquor to flow freely and without any restrictions whatso ever.”... .Amen, and again, Amen! NEWSPAPER NOT SUPPOSED TO PLEASE POLITICIANS Over at Marshall, Editor Story is lamenting because he can’t please political parties in the county with the way he wants to run his weekly newspaper. Fact is, Editor Story complains, he is uot running the Democrats or Renublicans. Our advice to Mr. Story is that he keep on running his newspaper like he wants to run it. and let the poli ticians do the worrying. Newspapers, and especially weekly newspapers, have a distinct place in community life, and that place is not monkeying in partisan politics. Have not seen but one car going west on one-way Jordan street by the postofficc during the past week. Fine. THE DAHIAA (Charlotte Observer, Sept. 15) The people of T-ansyivania County are keeping alwe the fame of that section for growing dahlias, and the club organized for that purpose is to meet in Brevard Monday. It was hard by, at High Hampton, that Di ■ \V. S. Halsted, for many years chief surgeon of Johns Hopkins, establish ed himself on General Wade Hamp ton’'; estate and shortly became known as the champion dahlia grow er of the United States. He grew dahlias "a* large as a dinner plate, and one particularly fine variety he named the Mrs. Roosevelt. After his death the cultivation of dahlias fell to the lot of Mrs. Halsted and when she retired she left the most remark able dahlia garden in all the country. This garden skirted the High Hamp ton highway, but has long since fallen into neglect. It might be an appropriate turn for the Tran ylvania Dahlia club to revive this garden and make it, one of the show places in that part of the moun tains.

Take this car (your Chevrolet dealer will gladly loan you one), drive it over the same routes, in the same way you drive your present automobile, and let the results you can see and feel tell their own story. You have heard that Knee-Action makes bad roads good, and good roads better. A ride will prove it. You have heard that Chevrolet provides shock-proof steering, Syncro-Mesh gear-shift ing, a remarkably flexible 80-horsepower engine, fom. Action CHEVROLET ^and cable-controlled brakes. A few minutes at the wheel will show you what a difference these advancements make in safety and driving ease. And when the ride is over, and you step out refreshed and ready for more, you will know why so many thousands have found it impos sible to return to ordinary driving after an experience like this. That is the Ownership Test—simple, easy, enjoyable, and the most practical way to choose a car. Your Chevrolet dealer has a car waiting so that you can make this test. How about today?
