MEMBER NORTH CAROLINA TRESS ASSOCIATION public M'orks to relieve unemployment, it must be admitted that there is some good in it. In the first place many people who are badly in need of employment are now self supporting. In the second place while some of the work being done is rather unimportant soma of the projects are well worth the mon ey bein gvpent on them. In Carteret county we should say that first in importance on the public works program are those projects that relate to the public health, mosquito control and the installation of sani ary privies. These measures will tend to pre vent the spread of malaria, dysentery, typhoid fever and hook worm disease. These di?aases LSi'STEkiS fS$mS for their turkeys.

S. Bureau of Fisheries has recently gotten out a fourteen page publication con cerning the care of fishing nets which should prove of great value to fishermen- Nets will wear out some time or other, no matter what is done to them but undoubtedly they ran be made to last longer by taking care of them. This publication is too long to be printed in the News but any fisherman can get a copy of it free by writing to Frank T. Bell, Com missioner, U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, Washing- j kind or not it cannot be denied that many of ton, D. C. J the projects will have lasting value. docs yet an intolliTcnt are sometimes ratal and always debilitating ,e;k(.i! s..me of the rest and costly in time and money. If these pro- be asking S!,m question jeers are even partly successful therefore they will have a marked influence on the health of the people of this county for a long time tn come. The planting of oyster beds on a large scale ought to be helpful in establishing the oyster industry on a basis that will be profitable to many of our people. Some oyster planting has been done here before but never on such a large scale. The waters in Carteret county are capable of producing a large quantity of oys ters and they will now have a chance to show what they can do. Building a road to Fort Macon and improving the fort and grounds is another worthwhile project. Then of course repairs to streets and roads and work on the schoolhouses and grounds are not waste ef fort by any means. So whether the Federal government ought to engage in work of this body else will, however, if ho cl.ntral shaping point. CRITICISM SHOULD BE SPECIFIC WHERE TRYANTS RULE Freedom of the press in Russia, Italy and , Therc hag been considerable criticism of Germany means freedom to print what dicta- the CWA in Carteret count and jud . tors Stalin Mussolini Hitler and their crowd from n t . t- . 15 want printed- No editor would dare to print i, ii.: , u A - printed- No editor would dare to print the real truth about the administration in either of these three boss ridden countries. He would soon find his shop shut up and himself in jail. There is no free speech in either Rus sia, Italy and Germany and naturally so. Free dom to write and freedom to talk go hand in hand- Dictators are against both privileges. In the United States folks can write or say pretty much any thing they want to and some of them greatly abuse he privilege. Even this is better though than a muzzled press and a cowed people. SPEEDING UP THE TRAINS The craze for speed is not confined to mo torists and automobile manufacturers. The railroads are taking it up too. Some of them are building stream line, aluminum cars that go like a bullet. The Union Pacific has recent ly completed such a train and its performances will doubtless have an important bearing on the passenger transportation in the world. For our part if we ever have to ride any thing that travels 100 miles an hour would rather risk a train than an automobile. The train has rails to run on and does not have to be steer ed. With airplanes, automobiles and trains all ! making 100 miles an hour or more maybe we i will all be able to get wherever we are going j soon enough. ! NO COMMITTEEMAN YET It is hard to soe beneath the surface but it seems that considerable wire pulling has been e:::,- going on about the appointment ct I) oli Form: Governor Gardner resumed re the place several lmnths ago and although number of nvin have been .mg;-:ested for t'. place it remains vacant- According to repoi'!.-' C. L. Sh lining of Greensboro, Senator Bailey's campaign manager, has the inside track but Senator Reynolds and some of the other lead ers are said to be opposed to Shuping. The place of national committeeman carries a great deal of prestige and is important in the dis tribution of patronage and in other ways. Nat urally the position is very much in demand. been lacking in many other counties. For the most part the charges against the CWA, which includes the National Reemployment Service, is that some people who have no right to jobs have gotten them and some who ought to have employment have not gotten it. It is claimed that political influence and favorit ism of one sort and another have obtained places for some who if they had stood on their merits would have been left out in the cold- We have heard a good deal of talk but have no reliable information as to the manner in which jobs have been distributed in this coun ty. There is supposed to be a committee whose business it is to pass on applications. It was reported at one time that some members of the committee had resigned. We do not know whether this is true or not. At any rate while the membership of the committee was street talk no official statement has ever been made as to its personnel, so far as we have seen. If there is such a committee, and if it is function ing then the responsibility for the appoint ments rests upon that committee. People who have complaints about the dis tribution of the CWA jobs should give the de tails and tell them in plain language to the proper authorities here or in Raleiggh. More over if anybody has any facts worth telling this newspaper will give him an opportunity of broadcasting them. General accusations mean but little. Jt is like shooting in the air. The shots that count are the ones that hit the maik. It may be that some errors have been made that were unintentional and it would be a favor to the authorities to call their at tention io such cases. If this course should inswcr I us will as this is only one case out of the hundreds of such cases in Carteret county. Of course I ain't raising no kick about myself, 'cause I have already loam- led that the man that is really in need can't get nothing out of sick chaiity and lelief as the country is showing these days. 1 didn't know anything about this new registration till one morning jest as I was going to work seemed that the boys were all stirred up just as if a money .digging spree was on hand. What's it all about I asked? Why we are all going to register for a job with this relief work they are going to pay 45 cents an hour for labor. and $1.5 an hour for boss man. I reached up and scratched my head. Of course it didn't itch, but it seem ed all stirred up inside to think of 45 cents an hour instead of digging all day for oysters and clams and hoping to get enough out of it to keep from starving until the weath er warms up so we wouldn't have to starve and freeze at the same time. Well, after I rested on first one foot and then the other until my shock wore off just a little, I re marked well you boys go ahead and register up if you want to. I'll get out and try to make 25 or 30 cents today 'cause I had done learn ed that when you got as poor am: needy as I am you can't got no help not even a job 'cause there is all ways somebody else that wants it who don't need it quite so much. So I went on to work while most of the boys went to register for their job. Well, long in the day I got to feeling pretty good thinkine- if some of them boys did get a job that I could sell a few more pecks of oysters and clams to the custom ers they had been having, but so far. as i KKnoww nooody who had ambi tion to dig clams and oysters rather than starve to death has got any iob yet.

A SUGGESTION FOR THE EUDGET If the Board of County Commissioners would include in its next budget an item for forest fire prevention it would be doing a very wisij thing in o humble opinion- Carteret county has some valuable forests and a lot of timber which while not very valuable now would be so if allowed to grow to maturity. Every year destructive fires do thousands of dollars worth of damage to these forests. Two or three years ago fires were especially bad and the damage done then cost the county more than a g-ood sized budget would have cost for several years. Money saved is just as frood as any other sort of money. The preven tion of fires is a matter of economy, not one of extravagance. Press .

GOLD MINING PROFITABLE NOW This issue of the News carries an article in it by Major J. E. Alexander of Winston-Salem which tells of a tradition regarding the dis covery of gold in North Carolina. Whether the tradition is true or not it is a fact that much gold has been found in the State and no doubt as much remains buried beneath our so l as has ever been taken out of it. It seems thr.t there are more than 300 gold mines in North Carolina now, probably only a few of them are being worked. On account of the hi-;h prices now being paid for gold ore and by reason of improved methods now in use for extracting gold from dirt, it ought to be possibble to operate profitably a good many of the North Carolina mines. Gold is mighty valuable just now. VAC3ANTS OF THE DEPRESSION The sanguine word comes cut of Washi: ;ton that our federal lelief program wi'.l embrace th.it tran sient called the tramp, and c ncentrate h i shabby numbers in established camps s;nd find sonic .vork for his hands. It is a genarous desi.vn, but the f ,;t is that there were tramps in the tim.-.s of the pharaohs. Economic depression, though it may increase vag rancy, does not create our old friend the tramp. There have always been tramps. Portland Oregonian. WORK BEING DONE IN COUNTY WILL HAVE LASTING RESULTS Whatever differences of opinion there mav THE ACIDULOUS MR. GLASS Woodrow Wilson once said he would like to hear what Carter Glass would say, if he ever should talk out of both sides of his mouth. Carter Glass was then a member of the cabinet. Now, under another Democratic administration, he is in the Senate. He has not been slow to speak his mind, whether in agreement or disagreement with his President. His latest quip does not sound like a confidential aside. He has no objection to the recognition of Russia. "I think we have gone so far beyond Russia that I am amazed Russia is willing to recognize us," he re marks to a Kichmond news correspondent. -a'3 a . wMK-aijncaitassicsKSSiSS Ib? eg!Ubl!Sh!ngl5c I Feet. 9 o2. iL v.., ..
