How much paint was bought for r finishing North Carolina automobile • license plates last year? 2. How many years following 1861 were North Carolinians absent from J the National Congress? 3. Why was North Carolina not represented in Continental Congress | in 1785 and 1786? 4. How much inheritance taxes did ! the State collect last year? 1 5. When did Virginia Methodists hold their annual conference in a r North Carolina city? I 6. What form of punishment did t the State adopt in the place of cut [ ting off ears? i ANSWERS. 1. Official reports show the item of paint for this purpose amounted to $4,252; steel, $18,555. The total cost of manufacturing the plates was $32,- > 273. This amount included prison la * bor to the value of $2,477. j 2. The last congress North Caro \ lina was represented in before the > Confederacy was formed was the ’ Thirty-sixth Congress in 1861. The . next delegation from this State to be seated was in July 1868. 3. The several states at that time ypaid the salaries of their delegates. * North Carolina’s finances were in “* such shape during those years that * she was unable to pay salaries of delegates. Delegates were named, however. 4. Budget commission reports to ! the last legislature showed total in -1 heritance tax collections of $2,106,- 1 688. ’ i 5. The annual conference of Vir • ginia Methodists in 1811 was held in • Raleigh. Since there was no Metho * dist church in Raleigh at that time, j and no auditorium large enough to hold the delegates, the sessions were ! held in the State Capitol. I 6. The penalty of cutting off ears I was abolished by the legislature of j 1831 and whipping was extended to take its place, except in a few of ! the most serious crimes. J OTHERS VIEWS ! OUR USFJTFSS BILLIONS i To vhe Editor. Two men ui the darker race were seated beside a pile of bricks amusing them selves fishing pork and beans from a can and masticat ■ng them slowly. One was large, dowdy and wore an old tattered hat with a shirt containing only one sleeve. And his toes had almost suc ceeded in cutting a new tunnel through his number ten shoes. ' The other was darker, slightly bent and moved slowly. “This is the dang best job ever I had, Ed,” the taller one was say :ng. “Yeah, Sam, I have to agree”’, ! the darker one mused as he stopped with his beans in midair. “I don’t have nothing to worry about. I work on thig WPA and has the easiest job of;my life.” “An’ another thing”, Sam said, a smile tugging at the corner of h/ mouth, “I go by the ABC store every Saturday and’ get me a pint of Four Roses, and boy do I have a [time? Look at these old shoes”, he j" continued stretching his feet for j ward, “full of holes, but v/hy should [ I worry? Now I ain’t puttin’ no niohey in no shoes when the wel fare people will give me some. Why all you gotier do is Tet the! kids go around until their clothes J get so thin the people will think t they are in a nudist camp, then | you’ll get all the clothes you need, i An’ look how some people rave about high taxes. Why, we hardly know what a tax is.” “You’re right”, Ed agi'eed, “You just look at cousin Willie Penrod down the street a little. Why he works hard every day and part of the night an’ he hardly makes enough to feed and clothe his fam ily. An’ if he makes anything the government takes it for takes. i “Another thing, Ed,” Sam said tossing the empty pork and bean | can away, “the other day a farmer | comes to me and asks me about ’ , working for him through his tobacco j crop. Now ain’t that somethin’?” Yes it is something. Something preposterous and incredible. Why I SALLY'S SALLIES ftegisjered S. Patent Office. / JIUSH NO mm-) / MY , y HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4,1939 should Sam want a job on the farm oi- anywhere else as long as he can loaf on the WPA and get his liquor and bread without exerting any energy? Why should Sam, Ed or cousin Susie or cousin anybody want to work if all the necessities of life ur given, to them gratis. But there is Sam’s cousin Willie Penrod, Penrod Willie or whatever you wish to call him, who works hard. From sun-up until sun-down he labors trying to make a decent r living. But who gets the benefit of his labor? Why Sam and Ed on the WPA, of course. Willie has to pay for’ their clohtes, the food they get at the unemployment office and pay • heir taxes. While the above is purely fic titious and may seem a little fa tuous, if you wish to call it as such, yet it gives a vivid and au thentic description of America in its spendthrifty program to restore prosperity for the betterment of humanity. But has prosperity returned? If your answer is in the affirma tive take one good look around you and watch the vast number of un employed people who today are armbling along the streets and along the roads, searching for an honest job. And if you still believe prosperity is here, take one in timate glimpse at the government’s statistics. For 1933—1938 the government appropriated 36.8 billions for re lief and unemployment. And for the year 1939, 12.5 billions were appro priated, bringing the total govern ment appropriations to 49.3 billions for the so-called relief and unem ployment. In other words, we are spending, or should we say wasting money at the rate of SIB,OOO every, minute. Every sixty second we are getting SIB,OOO deeper in debt. How long can we afford to waste our money at this prodigious rate with a new world war impending? (.lust before typing these lines I heard over the radio that Warsaw has been bombed six times by the German army.) How long can. we continue to pay high tax to feed loafers while we honest American citizens are trying to make a decent living? Why our useless spending this year will equal the value of the states of Montana, Idaho, Ore gon and Washington, and yet we continue to spend foolishly. We Americans had better wake up before we run into a national bankruptcy. HENRY AYSCUE. Henderson, Route 1, Sept. 2, 1939. PARTIALITY BY POLICE. To the Editor: A lew days ago an officer of the police department tagged my car parked in front of Woolard’s drug store for parking just out side the line. I paid the dollar and felt that I had no one to blame but myself. The next day I saw two cars park ed between the space my tagged car occupied and the hydrant. One of these cars was parked directly in front of the circular line enclosing the hydrant. They were there at least 30 min utes, and during that time three members of the police force passed by at different periods and entirely ignored the violations. Personally, I think these new traf fic regulations are splendid, and we should have had them long ago, but they are doomed to failure if the police department does not enforce them without partiality. A. J. DAVIS. Henderson, Sept. 4, 1939. TOBACCO CROP FOR STOKES INCREASED Danbury, Sept. 4.—Stokes coun ty’s 1939 tobacco crop is three mil lion pounds larger than the 1938 crop, but it will have to average 20 cents a pound to bring as much as last year’s total. J. F. Brown, farm agent of the State College Extension Service, said growers harvested 12,955,000 pounds in 1938, which returned them $3,100,000. Production this year is expected to total 16,000,000 pounds. “If the crop averages only 18 cents”, Brown said, “the total re turn will fall short of last year’s crop by nearly a third of a million dollars.” ONE-VARIETY TYPE OF COTTON POPULAR I College Station, Raleigh, Sept. 4.

Twenty-four counties have these one-variety associations this year, and nearly 3,000 farmers are enrolled with agreements to grow and mar ket a single standard improved va riety of cotton in each community. They have about 45,000 acres so cot ton planted, and agreements have been signed with 85 ginners to set aside certain gin days for the hand ling of one-variety cotton exclusive ly. Why The Ears Rebel At Airplane Flights By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D. IN MY yearning to be modern and keep abreast of the times, I have felt it my duty to overcome my natural repugnance to leaving the earth, to which I have long been attached by affection and gravita tion, and soar into the atmosphere. I have undertaken several airplane journeys in the last few years, but I am about forced to give them up because of the discomfort to my ears. To many of my fellow passengers to whom I complained this seemed strange; they said they felt no dis comfort and the pilots awarded the Dr. Clendening will answer questions of general interest only, and then only through his column. recital of my symptoms only a pity ing smile. I thought I was peculiar and brooded. To my relief, I find that many of my fellow human be ings, young and old, have had ex actly my experience and that even the pilots suffer so much from it that it is their common occupational disease, called “aviator’s ear,” in the United States, in Germany, barotrauma, and by aviation sur geons, aero-otitis media. Uncomfortable Feeling The feeling is, I assure you, most uncomfortable. As the ship rises you feel as if a pugnacious little dwarf were pressing on your ear drums, and then something inside your ear lets go with a rip and you feel better for a time. Then the pressure recommences. But when you are coming down, the worst part occurs. Then you get deaf, with an increasing feeling of fulness. The feeling does not wear off for hours, sometimes days. The explanation is natural. Re member that the ear drum, in order to record sound, must be able to move back and forth. Nature has, therefore, placed it in front of an air chamber—the middle ear. Air goes in and out of this, middle ear through a hollow tube—the Eusta chian tube—which leads to the throat. •But this tube, instead of standing wide open, as we generally have imagined it, is collapsible through most of its length, and acts as a flutter valve, opening only in termittently in response to pressure. One other thing opens it; certain muscles attached to it draw it open when swallowing or yawning occurs. 5-10-20-25 Years Ago (Taken from Daily Dispatch Files) September 4, 1934 A wedding of beauty and sim plicity was solemnized this morning at 11 o’clock when Miss ,Sally Young and William C. Mills, Jr. were married, the Rev. D. E. Earn hart, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church, officiating. September 4, 1929 Sale of stock in the Henderson baseball club to insure a Piedmont league team for Henderson next season was carried out today by members of a special committee ap pointed at a meeting of baseball Aviation medical experts, such as Armstrong and Heim, have watched the ear drums under decreasing pressure. The drums bulge and then suddenly snap back in place—the crack. This corresponds exactly to the symptoms experienced when ascend ing in an airplane. As the altitude increases the air pressure dimin ishes and the ear drums bulge. This creates a condition in the middle ear which eventually causes the Eus tachian tube to open, equalizing pressure, and the ear drums snap back into place—corresponding to the crack that has been described. Experiments with varying pres sures have shown that the first' bulge begins at about 200 feet alti tude. It increases to 500 feet alti tude and then the click occurs. The bulge immediately begins and res toration clicks occur about every 500 feet of ascension. When the atmospheric pressure is increased instead of decreased, a totally different effect is produced. Here the Eustachian tube, acting like a flutter valve, remains closed under all conditions of pressure. It can be opened by voluntary efforts. This corresponds to the conditions that obtain when the plane is com ing down. And this is where the acute discomfort begins. Yawning, swallowing and chewing gum tend to open the tube and help things out, but, in my experience, not enough. In the meantime, the ear drum takes an awful beating. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS M. M.: “Is it possible to get syphilis by the use of drinking cups or towels, etc.?” Answer —No absolutely not. The germ of syphilis does not live one second away from contact with animal (and in nature, only human) tissue. T. P. R.: “Do you believe in men tal telepathy, or do you believe it a product of too vivid imagination?” Answer—l do not believe in men tal telepathy.

September 4, 1919 More than 500, probably even 600 or more, were immunized from the infection of typhoid fever dur ing the six weeks’ campaign ;iust closed and conducted by Dr. W. H. Furman, city and county health olficers, according to records kept by the physician. While this is a comparatively small number when measured by the population of the county, and that part which has never had the treatment, it is con sidered a fair response to the op portunity offered. September 4, 1914 Mr. Perry Rose, son of Mr. Ceorge A. Rose, is displaying re markable talent as a cartoonist. He has brought to the Gold Leaf of fice for inspection two pictures of scenes on the battlefield as he con ceives them, one showing a cannon in action and the other a sombre scene of pestilence. They are both very striking and suggestive and are worthy of a professional. Mr. Rose would do well to cultivate and use his talent. HEREFORD BREEDERS TO MEET IN ANSON Wadesboro, Sept. 4.—Plans have been completed for the fifth annual “get-together” of Hereford breeders of the State to be held in Anson county on Friday, September 8, it was announced here today by J. W. Cameron, county farm agent of the State College Extension Service. It is expected that a North Carolina Hereford Breeders Association will be formed. A business meeting will be held in the court house here, starting at 10:30 a. m., after which the group will go to U. B. Blalock’s Pee Dee farm, 14 miles south of Wadesboro, and one mile south of McFarlan on Highway No. 52. There an inspection of Mr. Blalock’s other Hereford herds in the county will take place, and a bar becue luncheon will be served. ROTATION HALTING TOBACCO DISEASES Reidsville, Sept. 4.—Crop rotations apparently are giving excellent re sults in controlling the black shank disease of tobacco in Rockingham county, reports Farm Agent F. S. Walker. When Agent Walker found this disease on a number of farms in 1934 and 1935, he recommended that rota tions be started, in which tobacco was to be eliminated for at least four years. A recent check-up revealed that producers who followed the re commendations and. waited four years before planting another crop of tobacco have secured almost a 100 per cent crop this year. However, those who planted only after a wait of two years still have definite evi dence of the disease in their fields.
