Now his son introduces the five days a week, eight hours a day policy with the minimum wage of $6 a day for old employes and $5 a day for new employes of the Ford Company. The latest move is not so radi cal as was the $5 a day minimum rate when it was announced. In fact, it may not be considered favorably by those most concern ed. Its immediate effect upon many of the Ford workers would appear to be to reduce their pay. The man who has been getting $36 a week will receive $30 and the one who got $30 will receive $25, the worker i3 very sensitive about the pay envelope. Edsel Ford declares every worker needs more than one day a week for rest and recre ation. Likewise, in order to live properly, every man should have more time to spend with his fam ily, more time for self improve ment, more time for building up the place' called home. Edsel Ford and his father are religious men yet they evidently are not in full accord with the biblical in junction, "Six days shalt thou abor" (Exodus 20:9) What will impress the country most in the Ford action is that the automobile people come out for the eight hour day, five days a week policy at a time when the New England spinners are de manding nine hours a day, six days a week schedule for their hundreds of thousands of workers together with a reduction of 20 percent in wages. Essentially there is little difference in the tasks of the Ford employes and the New England workers. In each instance the work is largely mechanical. How can Ford see profit in a five day week with short hours and the textile peo ple see disaster in anything less than six days with longer hours? As a matter of fact the Ameri can worker does not moor six days a week and has not done so for many years. Each year the number of days of work appears to lessen. Holidays increase. In great mimber of industries Saturday has come to be a half day. In those lines the worker puts in five and a half days, not six, but he does not average five and a half days. There are twelve established holidays this year, observed in nearly every state of the union. They are January 1 (New Year Day), Feb ruary 12 (Lincoln's birthday ob. served in 28 states), February 22 (Washington's birthday), April 14 (Good Friday, observed in nine states), May 30 (Memorial Day), July 4 (Independence Day), September 4 (Labor Day), October 12 (Columbus Day), November 7 (Election Day), No vember 11 (Armistice Day), No vember 30 (Thanksgiving), Dec ember 25 (Christmas). In addition the Jewish holidays have a considerable effect indus trially and commercially in the large cities. With 52 Sundays and 12 nation ally observed holidays there are 301 working days and 64 to rest. With 52 Sundays, 52 Saturdiy holidays and 12 nationally obser ved holidays there would be 249 work days and 116 days of rest. That would be close to one day of rest to every two days of labor. We would appear to be approaching the Mexican idea in regard to work. No set scale of hours of labor will fit all industries. Neither will any fixed rate of pay. Con ditions vary greatly in one par ticular linevof production. The textile industry is a good exam Sunday School 10:00 A. M. Morning service 11:00 A. M. Junior C. E. 3:00 P.

Lossie Harris Oak Leaf Troop WHEREAS, it has become the custom in this community to observe CLEAN UP DAYS at some definite time in the spring of each year, and believing that such observance on the part of the town and its citizens is valuable from the standpoint of sanitation and as a measure of fire prevention, THEREFORE, I, T. W. M. Long, Mayor of the Town of Roanoke Rapids, designate Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, April 6, 7, and 8, as Clean Up Days, and ask the cooperation of all citizens in the observance of these days. All citizens are re quested to clean up around their premises. If this is done the town authorities will have the alleys cleaned up and all refuse hauled away. With the advent of the mosquito breeding season it is very essential that all tin cans and other vessels capable of holding water in which mosquitoes may breed should be collected and hauled away. This the thirty firsl day of March, 1922. T. W. M. Long, Mayor. Seaboard News ROSEMARY PERSONAL AND LOCAL ITEMS BUSINESS INCREASES IN POLICE COURT pie. The shoe industry is another. New England once was the most favored industrial section of America. It had cheap power and skilled labor. On these bases it developed a great indus trial establishment. Today it is handicapped. Long ago it out grew its water mills and with the increase in the cost of coal it can not meet competiton of south em mills which are favored not only through the large develop ment of hydro-electric energy but also by lower costs of living for mill hands owing to nearness to a great agricultural belt and by cheaper raw material through the southern mills being close to cotton fields. It seems certain that New England's textile establishment will shrink more and more. The mill owners are trying to post pone the inevitable by demanding that labor work longer hours and for less pay. Labor leaders will rejoice over the Ford announcement. Most of them figure on the basis that the fewer hours men work the more jobs there are for other toilers. They are wrong. To carry that principle out to its ultimate conclusion would bring ruin. No country is sell con tained. America can not prosper unless it sells its surplus products. It can not sell its surplus unless it produces on a cost basis to meet foreign competitors. That is one of the troubles today. Wages and hour3 of labor must depend on production. Henry Ford nor no one else can overcome economic law. Maxi mum production is impossible with 249 work days and 116 rest days not to mention strikes and other untoward events it would seem the holiday limit haa about been reached. Greensboro Daily News. E. J. Coltrane Accepts Assembly Secretaryship During the past week the Recorder's Court has been doing a rushing business. No very serious cases came up for disposi tion but the calendar was crowd ed, not to say congested, with minor offences. If business had been any briefer on Tuesday, which is regular court day, His Honor would have had to have held two sessionsto clear the docket. Nelson Brown, speeding on the Avenue, paid $5.00 and costs. Gurley Ingram, drunk and dis orderly, was taxed ' $5.00 and costs. T. L. Miller and Otho Watkins, charged with an affray in Gen try's restaurant, paid fines aggregating $15.00 and costs, $5.00 for Miller, $10.00 for Wat kins, with the cost3 split be tween them. Otho Watkins also faced two charges of being drunk and dis orderly, and was fined ten dollars and costs in each case, making his drunk reach the rather expensive figure of forty odd dollars. George Ingram, drunk and disorderly, $5.00 and costs. Solomon Daniel, speeding, paid 5.00 and costs and depart ed in subdued glory. Garbriel Brown, of slightly darker color scheme than Solo mon, paid $5.00 for riding a bicycle on a side walk. Gabriel's offense was greater than the average, for he picked a side walk crowded with returning workers from the Roanoke Mills for his operations, and his fine was enhanced accordingly. John Conner, drunk and dis orderly, $10.00 and costs. S. L. Clary, speeding, $5.00 and coats. C. G. Freeman, speeding, paid 15.00 and costs. Eugene Moore, drunk at Roa noke Junction, 5.00 and costs. D. Taylor, drunk and dis orderly, $5.00 and costs. Edward Price, speeding, $5.00 and costs. Mr. E. J. Coltrane, who has been Superintendent of the Roan oke Rapids Public Schools for the past two years, has accepted the position of full time secretary of the North Carolina Teachers As sembly and will take up his new duties on July 1. While the new position carries with it a salary of $4,000 per year, together with clerical help and traveling expenses, Mr. Col trane s friends here feel that his acceptance is prompted more by his zeal in the cause of educa tion than from any other motive. His task will be to arouse in the teachers of the State something of the zeal and energy which he has devoted to his profession. Mr. Coltrane's offices will be in State Department of Educa tion building in Raleigh, N. C, and although his duties will take him into practically every county in the State his family will reside in Raleigh. CENTRAL SCHOOL HONOR ROLL MR.

Roanoke WThen springtime comes and everything begins to grow and change, the house keeper with mop and broom goes to work to make her home an attractive clean place. This should apply just as much to a whole town and at least once every year in the springtime we should let our thoughts go to a clean up day in our town. The Girl and Boy scouts in taking a look over town decided that a big job for them was to help make our town by having just a plain utd fashioned clean up day: On April the first they will do their part in making this day a success, then you will see khaki clad figures with rakes in hand hard at work to improve Roanoke Rapids. Of course they can't clean up every yard, but they will make an effort to clean up all the public places, and they are depending on you to coope rate with them in cleaning up your yard, your store and place of business. Three days are being set apart to clean up, April 6, 7, and 8. May we work together to make our town the most at tractive place possible. We are looking to every man, woman, and child to join the Scouts in making Clean Up Day a success.
