Wt SHOULD BE ASHAMED Virtually aU of um at one time 01 j another, and many of us most of the : t.me in the kgst three years have been in the habit of complaining about cur lot. True enough. the going is harder than it was before, but. even with all the difficulties we are facing there is still much to be thankful for Arakibald Johnson, in Charity and Children, offers evidence to put us to ■bams When he wntes this: ‘Go through the hospital and ask The patients what vs the greatest bless ing and they will say ’health'. Go to the Mind school and ask what is the greatest blessing and the reply will be the power to see’ Go to the deaf and dumb institution and ask what Is the greatest blessing and the reply will be ’to be ab'e to hear and speak.’ Then go out on the streets and bear men. wtvo can sec and hear and talk and are in such perfect health they never think of health at ail. complain because they have none of the bless ings of life.” WHY NOT ENFORCEMENT? The Nation, in Its current issue, re veals its inherent enmity toward pro hibition It says it “has been slow to come To the belief that the repeal of the eighteenth amendments is inevit able and having held the idea that goodness should be legi.-lated into people, but admits that “we have been among thoee who felt that prohibition, in its hirst years, bestowed untold benefit upon the workirg classes and contri buted a great deal to the post-wai prosperity of the American people b> depriving the brewers and distillers oi their the purchasing power ol th« notion' and turning it into other and better channels." It despairs ot bhe> pbefttollUy of irnguoving condi tions, and calls Mr. Hoover “as much of a hypocrite in the White House on this issue as were Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Harding.” But listen to this: "We believe that, given an executive who deemed law enforcement a pi mie duty, and a civil service of the honesty and incorrup tibility of the Germans before the war and of the British at this hour, it would be possible to secure an en forcoment which would practically do the trick." But The Nation finds that “ to <lay the President keeps up the faJae pretense of enforcement, as he misrepresented th? wet Wiskersham re port, makes no effort to eliminate po litics In the enforcement service, is oblivious to growing corruption, grow ing defiance of the fundamental law and tihe Constitution itself." and adds "There is no prospect that hia suc cessor Will do anything else." But why not try enforcement for a while? Here la a journal joining In the oUnor for repeal when it admits that enforcement would do the trick. Why doe* It not Instead, wax equally an enthusiastic In favor of the plan that wIH make possible what It ad* rartts is a good thing? In days ol| prosperity The Nation thought pro hibition a good thing, but since hard times have struck, it has changed Its mind. Maybe it has slipped into the pit of financial difficulties with the rent of us, or just wants liquor bock to out the tax burden down, regardless the right or wrong or ths good or bad of prohibition. A lot of folks art that "V- . . ; NOT HELPING THE CAUSE Action of the Northern Method** Ohurcto General Conference in adopt* ing by such an overwhelming vote at it did a resokukm refusing to boM its conventions again in a city where the color line is drawn in botete ami restaurants Is to be deplored If an improvement in racial relations was tbs goal aimed at. rt will have a tend ency to owing the pendulum la the opposite direction.

U bos. if anything, driven the wedge in deeper As great and as powerful a body as Is the Northern Methodist Church and as much aa any city prlxes the honor of entertaining its quadrennial sessions, it is doubtful if a city that has any sort of segregation of the races will throw that pokey into ths discard merely for the sake of a visit from the Methodist body. The con Terence over-rates Us importance in the estimation of secular institutions when it makes its calculations after that fashion. AU good and well meaning citizens of both races deeire more amicable re lationships between the two. A de nial of that aspiration is not being made here. Rather would it be em phasised. The point is that ths Northern Methodists have been in too big a hurry, and in their zeal for ad vaneement in the cause have over- j stepped the rate of progress to do j hurt to and to delay the very purpose n mind. j Conceding that the Christian church should properly concern itself wRh the moral and physical welfare of the : * i people, the Methodists have been a bit ; ard in its criticism of wage cuts. 7very one knows that lower wages i nean reduced purchasing power of the working people, and that the more ,:uts there are the less ot the products ,f industry can wage earners buy. Vet what else can business do than ut expenses, including wages, when .t has not the resources with which o continue the high levels of the post ieoade 0 Condemnation of that step n the business wv>rkl by the Metho ds* conference was likewise & piece >f bad judgment arid reveals a lack of ippreciation of economic problems that are confronting all business in •heee times.

RETURNING BUSINESS Department store | merchants am epresenlted as optimdsktc over the crly return of better days for them ltd when it gebe better for them it .’ill likewise be better for other •ranches of business for much the ume reasons. They are wise enough ot to undertake to fix a definite date cr the climb to begin, but some have laaarded the guess of late summer, com the Durham Herald is taken he following: The department store merchants .to optimistic, according to David ;vens, Charlotte depaßmertt atom nanager, who hau just returned from i national convention of merchants, u-ld in St. Louis.

Many of them hink that the middle of the sum mer will wkneis this upturn, but whether it Is then or later, they be lieve it will come with a rush that will make itself felt immediately. As reported in the Charlotte Ob server: 3 Representatives from the outstawF ng department store* of New York, Pittsburgh, Ric’unond, Dallas, Fort Wayne, Milwaukee, 3t. Louis.

Despite setbacks, department store owners have not lost their nerve. They have confidence in Amaxiaa and know America Is safe. As a result, they are fighting to meet the new problems they have been caked upon to face and are ready ft* the new era of bus iness. They are no* filled with un founded optimism that will causa them to endeavor to load up with goods they cannot sell, but they will be ready to keep pace when belter prices arrive.

You should be able in execution with powers of resource; endowed with a recaptive and diseective mind, you should make a mark in the world. There is an indication of indolence or an inclination to depend too much upon others: do not allow this to get control of you, for it ie fatal to the proper operation of your Inherent Qualities. There is also an indication of considerable means, without much desire to add to them. The Journal of the Rev.

To the Editor: We have had an opportunity to visit mo«t of the schools in Vsnco icoun’v We find to our surprise, that the Henderson high school building is one of the most, if not the most, inadequate building in the county. We learn that this building is forced to house in the neighborhood of 350 pupils when it is really built to house around 200 at the most. This seems to us to be a deplorable condition, and one that should be remedied. We learn that there is no city school system, but one system for •both county and city. It appalls us to learn that the property valuation in Henderson is nearly five times that in the remainder of the county. The question then arises why do we, the people of Henderson, not have as good advantages in our schools as the rural population of Vance county? Personally, we see no reason. We would like for some of the candidates for office to explain some of these things for us. It is sheer injustice to the children and young people of the town not to allow them the best of educational facilities. There is absolutely no rea son why they should not be allowed them. It will take only a casual ob- 1 server to note that the class rooms at Henderson high school are crowd ed at nearly all times. We admit that a science building has been built re cently, but the structure and nature of this building is such that it is referred to by the students as "the barn." Even at this, it is in better condition than the main building. We wonder if the people of this city > lealiae that the school does not so much as have an assembly auditor ium. There 1r no space in the Hen derson high school that is ample enough to accomodate one-half of its pupils in a body in comfort. This has caused the school to have a lack of the necessary spirit among its en rollment. The faculty has done its bes'., but even with ail the extra work that they do they cannot give the students the attention that they need because of the lack of proper equip mnet. We wonder why so much of the most valuable property of the coun ty lies just outside the city limits. 7 his property should be taken in. Why is it outside? If this property were taken into the city limits and a city school system instituted, the town of Henderson could build the finest high school building in the State. We would like for a few of the politicians to explain this to us aao. R. A. WHITTEN, JR. Henderson, May 7, 1932. Noah first taught the rac how wise a thing it iH to lay up something for a rainy day.
