DAN TOMPKINS, Editor
As Will Rogers put it, its our dol
lar and we arc going to do what we
please with it.
The only objection that we have
been able to find to the American
dollar as is, is that we can't get hold
of the elusive coin.
We, personally, despite the bimet
al ism standard, recently adopted, will
be pleased to have a chip off one of
these gold blocs, the papers keep
talking about. ]
Young Peoples' Democratic Clubs,
to meet in Wilmington, would do well
to confine their resolving to discus
sion of political iratters and lay off
moral questions; or the goblins may
get 'cm. 'Twould prove better for the
clubs and belter for their party.
So far as man's feelings are con
cerned, wv don't believe that a finer
dishing of weather can be handedi
out anywhere on topside this sphere
than wy have been enjoying. Of
course, a little dampness might help
the crops along to maturity.
As we understand it, Mr. Roose
velt told the London Conference just
where to head in on this dollor stab
ilization business, and part of the
delegates refused to head ; so the con
ference adjourned for a couple of
months.
It was nil right for Europe jui na
tions to manipulate the money mar
ket to meet the situation, and force
American prices down ; but when we
tried our hand at the same game
some of 'em began thumbing their
noses at us and calling us old meanie.
THAT SALES TAX
The editor of this paper, as a mem
ber of the General Assembly, can lay
no claim to praise for any good that
may <;ome from the sales tax, if any
comes; for he opposed the measure
on every vote in the House. Converse
ly, if it proves to be an odious thing,
he will share none of the blame, for
he was strictly opix>sed to the meas
ure, and fought it at every turn.
He vote.l for the relief of the land
from taxation for school purposes,
and for a uniform school system for
the whole State, giving the same op
portunities to every child of North
Carolina; but was of the opinion
that the money could be derived from
sources other than the sales tax, that
would work no such hardship upon
, thfl people. ...
?4 The measure became effective on
July 1. The peojxle are now paying
it, and the merchants are worrying
over the dctuils of collection. It will
be in effect for two years, and the
people can rendler their judgment.
ROADS, PARKS & PROSPERITY
Things are looking up for West
ern North Carolina and for Jackson
county, while the Kast is enjoying the
doubled priuc of cotton and the Pied
mont is dancing to the musie of the
spindles. It appears to be a settled
N fact that Highway 100 is to be com
pleted in the immediate future.
The federal and State governments
are coordinating and concentrating
road building activities on the con
struction of tlio principal highways
in the area of the (treat Smoky Moun
tuns National Park. It also appears
to be certain that the landl for the
entire park, as originally proposed,
will be puchased, and the park will
bo laid out as it wrh designed in the
beginning-. This means additional
acreage, it means that the pnrk will
be of vastly more benefit to North
Carolina thnn in its present shape. It
means that the entrance Prom Balsam
Gap will become a reality, nnd thai
the principal entrance to the park
will be along side Highway No. 10,
the "Main Street of North Carolina"
It means that Sylva will be tho clos
est town to the park, ondl that the
principal highways of Jackson coun
ty will bo within a stone's throw of
the park itself. It means that Jack
son county will really benefit from
the park, and that North Carolin
ians and othrt-s from the eastern
side of tho Great Smokies will bene
fit from it to as great extent as the
Tennesseans, and that nearly the
whole of the {greatest mountain mass
in Easter i America will be where it
belongs, within the great park.
A lot of monjjy will be expended in
building the highways leading to the
park, in reforestation of the shorn
acres, in constructing roads and trails
throoffh the park. It means work for
lour people in the months that are
ahead, and it also means that a ready
market for all that our farms ean
produce will be available. It means
that tourists will comc in ever in
creasing numbers, and that they, as
money matters in the coutry right
themsolves, will leave more and more
money with our people, to go to the
shop-keejcr, inn-keeper, laljorer, and
farmer
This thing will not be built for !
temporary usage; but will bcxxmre a
national a^.set, conserving the timber j
and the water power for the Tenn
essee basin, and a never-ending
source of income to be derived by all
classes of our people, from tlie tour
ist crop.
The National Administration is
solidlly behind the movement, and the
present National Administration has
i demonstrated that it does things.
SAFETY POINTERS FOR THE
SUMMER VACATIONIST
Washington, D. C. July .V ? Safe
aad sane vacations are unjcfn by the
First Aid und Life Sa7it;; Service of
ihe American Red Crog:. which of
fers the following suggestions:
Sunburn: Dangerous. Acquire tan
gradually. Avoid mid-dav rays. Gradi
uaio the jM-riod of exposure a few
minutes each day until skin is tough
ened and tanned. Until such time,
make a practice of wearing a shirt,
bathrobe or other covering at beach
except when actually in water. Cal
amine lotion gives considerable relief
and may Ix* applied to the skin sever
al times n day. Especially avoid a
burn upon a bum.
Swimming: Know your swimming
'place. Explore thoroughly for hidden
rocks, holes and gla.?s; but not with
your bare feet. Never swim alone;
swimming in twos is more fun and
far safer. Never dive in less than
six feel of rater, and make allowance
for change in tidewater depths. Al
ways Wi-.it at least two hours after
eating before entering the wai.er.
Drinking Water: Take no chances
If in the least dfoubt as to purity,
boil. In some states health depart
ment signs j)osted at springs and
other sources indicate whether the
water is fit for human consumption.
Food: 1 ood poisoning is of fre
quent occurence in the warai months,
due to the rapidity with which food
spoils. Prepare small amounts at a
rime. Chicken, fish and potatoes are
particularly likely to make, one ill,
if not properly refrigerated1. Protect
Irons possible contamination. Do not
eat excessively or when over heated.
Fire: Always hairy or quench the
embers before retiring or Leaving the
camp site.
Poison Ivy: Learn to recognize this
plant, and then carefully avoid it
Ivy, oak and sumac poisioning are
caused by an irritating oil present on
the leaves. Poisoning results readily
from contact with smoke from the
burning leaves. The skin should be
washed immediately and thoroughly
with warm water and soap. If pois
oning occurs anyway, apply calamine
lotion or a solution of ferric chloride.
Another good treatment is the appli
cation of dressings wet with a solu
tion of Epeom salts as strong as can
be made with cold water; keep dress
ings wet. If at all severe, consult a
physician.
Insects: Flowers of suJphur appli
ed to the skin helps to prevent chig
?jer bites. Mosquitoes may be kept
nwav for a couple of hours by rub
bing a few dfropg of oil of lavender
over the exposed surfaces; but this
does not take the place of adequate
ereeniiig or netting. The itching can
Ike relieved by applying ealaioine lo
eion several times daily. Inanima
tion from other insect bites tcen be
relieved by applying compresses wiet
with cold Epsom salts or bak:ug soda
ol-ut ions.
First Aid Kit: Keep stocked and
conveniently at hand in fishing1 kit,
automobile or kitchen. Cuts and ab
rasions are among the commonest of
vacation accidents. Small wound*
hould be. given prompt i tbcntiofi. Ap
oly half-strength i ncture of jodine
to wound's, allow to diy, and apply a
sterile dressing.
Driving. Have a thorough mechani
cal inspection of the car made before
starting on the trip. Drive canefully
??-nd givo heed to speed limits and
official read signs.

. CALEB
Letst* for Jtdy 9th. Joshua 14:6-14.
GoUen Text: Psalm 40:4.
Caleb is one of the most attractive
of the minor characters of the Bible.
A a a vigorous man of forty, he left the
wiMcrmm at Kadesh-barnea as one of
the spies on that ? |
fan oat scooting JSPP??|^,

Canaan. He. and
Joshua were the
only ones to bring
home a favorable
report The other
ten were sure that
the land could not
be successfully oc
cupied, that the ob
stadcs were too

proved thirt the minority were right.
And it is pleasant to note that Caleb
and Toehua lived long enough to per
sonally participate in the occupation of
that golden land they had so coura
geously and accurately praised. In fact,
they alone of the twelve spies were
permitted to share in its colonization.
The lesson presents Caleb as a hale,
beartf veteran of eighty-five, appealing
to Joshua for the inheritance promised
long since by Moses. The land was
divided by lot But before the division
took place, Caleb asked for special con
sideration in view of the hazardous
journey of exploration he had taken as
a young man, and the subsequent pledge
of Moses. His unfaithful colleagues
had perished in the wilderness, but he
himself had been preserved with eye
undimmed and strength unabated. Did
he not, as a true, loyal champion of
God's truth, deserve a peculiar reward ?
Yes, he did. He who had "wholly
followed the Lord," as Moses testified,
deserved the blessing of his friend and
co-worker, Joshua, and the gift of
Hebron, that ancient city so filled with
memories of Abraham. Located in a
mountainous region, in a basin on a
lofty point on the ridge of Judaea, it
offered only a meagre living at the
expense of exhausting work in stonv
soiL But Caleb was made of stem stuff*
Like a good soldier he craved hardness.
We leave him at Hebron, a grand old
figure, beginning life anew, in the fare
of difficulty, with all the ardor of
youth. And we rejoice that the promise
of Goo' to Moses that Caleb and his
descendants should own the land he
had explored, was so admirably ful
