McNinch and Morality. I
Frank R. McNinch, chairman of the federal
communications commission, says the Mae West-
Charlie McCarthy skit over the radio recently,
was too rotten to be a mistake.
As Chairman McNinch, who is also called
Elder McNinch (being now a high church
functionary) put it:
"The admittedly objectionable character of
these features is, in our opinion, attributable to
the lack of proper conception of the high stand
ards required for a broadcast program intended
for reception in homes, schools, automobiles,
religious and economic institutions, 'as well as
hotels, clubs, trains and other places, reaching
in the aggregate a larger number of people daily
than any other means of communication and
carrying its message to men, women and child
ren of all ages."
As Elder McNinch's religous sensibilities have
recently grown delicate, so that he can be shock
ed by the ribaldries of a modern worldly radio
program, perhaps he may now appreciate the
feelings of the political world in 1928. At that
spicy time the political world was sprely disap
pointed when he and Bishop Cannon refused to
divulge the extent of their slush operations
used to corrupt North Carolina voters and hood
wink them with a whispering campaign of
religious bigotry and slanderous misrepresent
ation. And McNinch carried the 'State for
Hoover—he did that. Defied the laws in such

Our Fine Schools.
King stands first in the constellation of high
schools which are creating light in Stokes. Sec
ond is Walnut Cove, and now Sandy Ridge
j looms large and brilliant with its student body
|of more than 600, and its 17 teachers. Profes
sor Macon, an educationist of ability and ef-
I ficiency, finds the Sandy Ridge school equipmen
''nadequate to meet its fast growing needs.
More room is urgently required.
I There is no section of Stokes county that ap
preciates its school more heartily and sincerph
than Sandy Ridge and well it may. When the
Creator's command for "Light" came echoing
.down the ages, His advice was for the good of
humanity. The world is safe with light whos
beams bring understanding and tolerance anc 1
progress and beauty. Darkness means ignor
ance and superstition and prejudice and error,
which breed crime and fear and chaos.
The school authorities of Stokes county are!
doing their bit to make the world better and I
happier.
