JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL DAN TOMPKINS Editor Published Weekly By The JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL CO Entered as second class matter a the post office w Sylva, N. C. Our Byrd is at least part homing pigeon. .. Come ou up to the mountains and cool off ve low landers. That Democratic meeting in Sylva on Monday afternoon was so harmo nious that it was actually unnatural. m Harmonious, hut otherwise Demo cratic, would be a good description of the district meeting held here on Mondav afternoon. ; We don't know how he got.it; but we do know that it is positively in decent for a uewspaper rei>orter to have large sums of money on de|msit A delicit of a hundred million dol lars for Uncle Sara isn't so bad when you compare his size with ours and measure our deficit along side of his. Bet you that you didn't notice that, wheat is selling at the lowest price it has reached since 1914 the last time you bought a sack of flour. With 12 cent cotton, 87 cent wheat, 74 cent <orn, ,'l? cent oats, and 44 cent rye the farmers doubtless feel that all campaign pledges have been kept and that they are sufficiently relieved. No doubt congressmen and senat ors think it warm in Washington at this time; but looking back and comparing, next November, many of them will remember these June days as positively frigid. , N One thiug to kee in mind when passing: upon' Veterans' legislation is that they kept a very imjtortant industry running, a few years hack; and that were it not tor them, you probably wouldn't have anything of your own with whieh to pay taxes. President Hoover and Mr. Mellon are powerfully concerned over an in crease- of $102,'600,000 a year for the World War Veterans, as provided in the bill just passed; but were disturb ed not at all at the extra tariff tax on the consumers of this country of a billion dollars a year, for the bene fit of a comparatively few owners of production facilities. RHTEJtlAINING /RURAL JACKSON COUNTY (By ap?IARD . HENSON, Presi dent Caaty Fork Progressive Society There is a ?srying need throughout Iturul America for general community organizations of entertainment. Ka peeiallv is this true of isolated com munities. Many hw\ communities are to be found in -Jackami county. Such organizations should provide civic leadership, but above should pro vide wholesome entcrtabsent. Such programs as these literary societies, uplift clubs or what you choose to call them provide make life <puch happier for many eountry men, wo men, and children. These organizations should pro vide entertainment that lies within the conception of local education and should develop the interests of the local people above all things sueh an organization should not get above its own members. In developing such an organization, always avoid the er-| elusive club idea. Junior leagues and Bridge Chios are all right in their places but certainly not in the aver age mountain community. But an or ganization is needed vitally needed; but one that centers around local community activities and interests Many rural communities have no kind of wholesome entertainment and am-! usement. Of course a few localities have lit-! tie need for such a cltab. Such a com munity is Cnllowhee, although they have a club that is somewhat differ ent from this type. Western Caro lina Teachers College provides splen did entertainment for that commun ity both in winter and summer. But, taka Caney Fork; my own township. Onr interests are entirely different from those of Cullowhee, and We are isolated by very bad roads and for that reason we organized the Caney Fork Progressive Society, less than a year asyo. Just because my mother descended from a Pennsylvania Dutch family is no reason why I should be long to the Dutch Reformed Church rather than the Methodist. Just be cause the Cullowhee Community needs no such organization as ours is reason that we shouldn't have on* Just a9 individuals, com "canities must live their own lives and develop tlraic own interests. Of eourse, they aro de? pendent upon each other as neigh-' bors. I once road of a church in rural Illinois that took upon its shoulders the responsibilities of such commun-, ity service as this, but most of our churches in this region haven't yet grasped the Western idea of commun ity service. Still (thanks to educa tion) the dawn is coming at last. Such a society or club should be operated at as little expense as pos sible. In the Caney Fork Society we don't even have a* membership fee. In fact, we don't even have a record ed membership. Our meetings are I open forums, and we try to give the whole community a chance to take a part in the work A member isn't forced to attend, but we always try to ma!:e the programs so interesting, they will want to attend. VVe try to make an organization that isn't or ganized to death. As I said before, expense should be cut to a minimum. The average farm family has littl^ money tospemf above the bare necessities of life, ami, of course, the whole purpose of such a community club is to bring more happiness and less burden. Cos tumes and such tor the programs van he made in individual homes with no expeuse to the club as a whole. That is the way we do in t?urs, althougl we haven't reached perfection in an\ part of thu work, for our club is stif in the c.\]K>rimental stage. Still, we1) are proud of its record, so far We started in what we thmfght the right way by asking three of our farmers to name the club, and not ' .-nine Greek philosopher, 'l hev called it the Caney Fork Progressive Son ety. A program is held every' other Wednesday evening in the John's Creek High School auditorium. Let me say that we are trying to make our building an institution, ami not just a school house. A committee of three works out these programs. OI course most of the work is purely 1 amusement. Since our organization, we have given, among other things, a Woman less Wedding, Old Maids <-on vention, Mock Trial, and an old l'ash i ioed spelling Match from the Bine Hack Spelling Book. As high as three i hundred of my neighbors have attend ed these programs. In almost every ease local talent is used; but, of course, there are exceptions. < 'ne Wed nesday evening Prof. I{. L Madison and son, Monro, gave us a beautiful entertainment with their Hawaian guitars. That is an example. \. To give you an idea of how our ! folks are coo|>erating in this work, I will give you a list of some of the people who took active parts in one of our chief performances this spring Taking parts in the Woman less Wed ding were a former representative from Jackson county, a member of; the local school board, the superin-! tendent of the Baptist Sunday School and the oldest and one of the leading j me.ichants in Caney Fork Township, and you would be surprised to know how these men enjoyed getting- up' their parts. We try to make our programs ed ucational as well. Kor the Mock Tri al we secured a lawyer from Sylva to art as .judge. This was lor the bene lit of those in the coiiiuuity who had never attended a real court and knew nothing of court procedure. Many School childVen are also used in the programs thus giving them an extra chance in the fight against illiteracy and stage flight. Ordinarily Wednesday night i* prayer meeting night. It is when you hapi?eu to have a prayer meeting; hut thin community i happens to have none. But, still, we j try to take the place of the prayer i meeting to'a certain extent with the 1 devotional s<?ivice that precedes each Wednesday evening program. Very often, K^'al paators conduct the de votional "service. At the banning of each meeting re|K?rts are made by appointed re porters from all the churches in the Consolidated Sehool District. Strong efforts are made toward cooperation with Brasstown and Moses Creek the outlying school communities. Their churches have rejiorters. A recent local tax election gave these com munities equal educational advantag es with the John's Creek community. Therefore we desire to give them equ- j al advantages in general community activities. Kej>orts are also welcomed, from any other place in the township; Reports arc also tnade from the lo- j cal Parent-Teachers Association and the consolidated school, and we plon to have a local 4-H Club reporter forj the summer season. As can be readily seen, the club acts as a medium of ex pression for all the acHvites of Can-! ey Fork township. This stirs up that thing that we call patriotic commun ity spirit. An ap|>ointed club re]>ort er passes these reports on to the Jackson County Journal, and in tills way the whole county learns what we are doing. ?f coarse we are proud of I lie So ciety's civic work. In cooperation with the P. T. A., it has put on a( ? school caiupus lieautitie&tiou cain- stand by the nominees, paign with very pleasing res dts. JOHN B. DEITZ TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS I wish to thank the people for the vote given me June the 7th, and will Our organization also sponsors local bird protection, and despite our Soc ialistic tendencies, a committee was recently appointed to erect suitable signboards at the two local churches. Our whole object is to make a full er and happier life for the people of our community. Will some other com munity in Jactyjon county join us in -this work? HEIGHT * ? In flying to a height of 4&166 fetfc more than eight miles up in the air, Lieut. Apollo Soucek of the U. Si Navy has set a record which will taki some beating. Only by the use of compressed oxygen in a tank, inhaled through ai tube, and an oxygen super-charger to insure combustiou in the engine, was Lieut. Soocek able to do the stunt at all. Capt. Hawthorne Gray of the U. S. Army, who rose to 42, 470 feet in a balloon three years ago, died from lack of oxygrn in the rarefied atmosphere of that great height. AH of the talk about voyaging to the moon, whether by airplane, rocket or other device, is so much moonshine, in view of the impossibility of carry ing enough oxygen along, to say nothing of the intense cold of inter stellar space, somewhere around 4dQ degrees below zerol * ? * : LAND* \ v A young woman of my acquaintance was surprised recently on getting Jiome from her daily work as a steno grapher to find a young man waiting, to ask her who her grandfather was. ?When she told him, he informed her that the title company which be repre sented was prepared to pay her and each of her five living sisters, aunts and uncles $200 each to sign a quit claim deed to a strip of land one inch wide and eighteen feet long. That price was a "nuisance value," but there are several pieces of Manhat' tan real estate which have sold for as much or more per square foot, fol office buildings. It no longer pays td build under JO stories high in old New York. And the reason for the high land value is the growth of population^ Evrry new comer to the city adds an appreciable amount to the value of every foot of land. ? * a COMMERCE I went into a grocery store in A little Massachusetts town the other day to buy some matches. The sales' man handed me a package which wsi marked "Made in Russia." In thj same shop window I saw some canneJ rornrd beef, rooked and packed U Uruguay. In a store in New Yor'l recently my daughter bought a rainl coat made of silk which had first bee.l wc*en in Japan and then sent to Scot* land to be waterproofed. Wearing that, she drove to a country house 0:1 Long Island-where the refreshment! served included tea from India and biscuits from England. For every dollar's worth of goods the United States sells abroad we must eventually buy a dollar's worth front the country which we buy from. Tha( is the long and short of all the talty about tariffs and imports and the ex* port trade. t ? ? SHIPS ? The Germans now hold the record for speed of trans-Atlantic ships, bul both the United States and England are preparing to take it away from them. . The Cunard Line, which is thf eldest of all ocean steamship lines, an nounces that it will build a craft 1,000 feet long, carrying 4,000 passengers, which will make a speed of JO knots an boor and will cost between 20 and 25 oriRioa dollars. A knot, by the way,. i? a nautical mile, which i* <00 feet j longer than the land mile; so a speed <-f 30 knots means 34l/i miles an hour, t The U. S. Shipping Board m con junction with the Post Office Depart ment is arranging with American steam ship companies to buQd two ships even bigger and faster than the new Cun arder. It will take three or four years to build them.! They will be good ad vertising for tkft United States but probably will not earn their keep. The deficit will be made up in what the Government pays the company operat ing diem for carrying the mails. The mail subsidy of the British govern ment to Samuel Cunard is what put die British flag ahead of ours on the Atlantic, 75 years ago. ? * ? ? i HOMES ! I i i Sayings bank heads say that right i naw is a more favorable time to build | a home than we have had since the f war. Building materials are down, j labor is plentiful, mortgage money is. j cheap. Those who are secure in their employment can probably build homes now on more favorable terms than 1 they will be able to a year from now. . TWe same authorities say that the measure of how much a man can affoH to invest in a home is his average income. He is justified in tying up the equivalent of two year's ?alary if that it myfcr $10,000 a year, or of three veer's income, if he earns more than $15,000 a year. Thus, a man who earns (50 a week can afford a $5,000 home. And from ten to twelve years is a proper length of time over which to spread the mortgage pay ments. When your Children Cry for It Castoria is a comfort when Baby is fretful. No sooner taken than the little one is at ease. If restless, a few drops "ion l?r* - "ontentmei.t. No harm 'lone, for (fusions* is a baoy r-r\ '? wr-t. for babies. Perfectly safr to pive the youngest infant; you have th* doctors' word for that! It is a vegetable pro duct and you could use it every day. But it'B in an emergency that Castoria means most. r.ipht, when constipation must be relieved?or colic pains?or other suffering. Never be without it; some mothers keep an extra bottle, un opened, to make &ure there will always lie Castoria in the house.
