TODAY and
TOMORROW
(By Frank Parker Stock bridge)
? I'
CHANGE .... constant
No human institution ever stands'
still. Xoihing else, much, does, either.
ij\ t?ii tin solid earth has sixteen dif
? ieiviit i notions, pulling it every way
at once.
All that any individual human be
ing can do about it, when lie finds
social, economic, moral and political
conditions changing in ways he does
n't like is to either change with then:
doing his best to direct the line o:
movement along paths which he con
siders more likely to lead to the gen
oral good in the long run, or else sit
tight and let the wo rid go by.
It is more trouble to keep up with
the world, after a man reaches a cer
tain age, than to pull himself into
this shell nad refuse to have anvthin-jr
{ * '
to do with the new things about him.
I Jilt the only way an intelligent per
son can get much satisfaction out of
life is to be t?, part of it, and to try
to find what good he can in its con
-daut changes.
home fundamental truths never
change. It is possible to hold fast to
the elemental virtues of personal hon
>r and integrity, to hold one's selt
iVspcct, in short, and still achieve t
fair decree of contentment, if not
happiness, in the midst of a changing
social order.
44 1 have been young and now I am
old," wrote the Psalmist, " but I
have not seem the righteous forsaken
nor his seedj begging breod". That
is as true now as it was when it wtis
written.
DISTRIBUTION .... faulty
I tried to buy some Northern Spy
apples in a neighborhood grocery the
other day. All 1 could find were tine
looking but ? to mc ? tasteless west
ern apples, shipped from 2,500 miles
away. Northern Spies grow only 250
miles from the New York market.
The same day my wife wanted
some Florida oranges. None of the
nearby stones had any but Californ
ia*, which we hold inferior. They had
come 3,000 miles; Florida is only a
thousand miles away.
Organized distributioon versus un
organized marketing is the answer.
Uncle Sam is paying a lot of atten
tion these days to agricultural pro
duction. It would be of far greater
public service to reorganize the dis
tribution methods of food products.
HONESTY on labels
Senator Copeland of New York has
rewritten the so-called "Tugwell
liill" regulating the labeling and ad
vertising of food and drugs. All that
the proposed law does, in its present
form, is to insist upon honest labels
of package foods and drugs, telling
exactly what is inside of them, and
making no professions that they will
"cure" certain diseases for which
medical science knows no cure.
In other words, all that the law
would re quire, if enacted in its pres
ent form, is common honesty oh the
part of 'the makers of packaged pro
ducts.
I think that, a lot of hallvhoo has
been raised over the presumed dangei
to public health under present con
ditions. With the Government promot
ing the sale of alcoholic liquor for the
sake of revenue, it doesn't seem to
have much of a leg to stand on in the
matter of "protecting" peoplo
against the effects of what they put
in their stomachs.
GARNER . . . speaks up
I hear from Washington that
"Jack" Garner has advised the
President to tell some of his New
Dealers to keep their mouths shu*
The Vice-President has plenty of
sound common sense. >'
"Some of these bright young men
remind me of Christopher Columbus",
my informant reports him as saying.
"When Columbus started out he
didn't know where he was, and when
lie got back he didn't know when*
he had been."
I Not mentioning any names, the
Vice-President left.

The thing .that is calculated .to si

Senator Hill has been a life-Io
prohibitionist, though the mo'
staunch of the diys felt an inkli
during the last General Assenib
that he might be weakening in

bill, or one like it, is the only kini)

RHINEHART PLACED
UNDER DOND FOR
DAMAGES TO AUTO
An attack was made upon the auto
mobile of Chief of Police James A.
Turpin, Tuesday of last week, by
Frank Rhinehart, at the latter 's home
near Webster, according to Leonard
Holden, Deputy Sheriff, who placed
Rhinehart under arrest and brought
him to Sylva, where he made bond
to answer to a charge of malicious
injury to personal property.
Aecorling to the deputy sheriff, he
went to the home of Rhinehart, to
serve an execution, under a judgment
rendered by the Superior Court or
Haywood County, against Rhinehart,
in a case brought by Alley, Warfield
and D. H. Turpin, in which they were,
awarded damages because of alleged
false arrest, in the case of more than
a year ago, in which Rhinehart ac
cused the three Turpin men, and
others unknown to him, of having
kidnapped and mistreated him. The
justice's court in Sylva failed to find
probable cause against the three, and
released them. Later they brought
suit against Rhniehart in Haywood,
and were recently awarded a judg
ment. It was to serve the execution
of this judgment that Holden went
to the home of Rhinehart.
According to the officer, he served
I his paper and Rhinehart asked leave
to accompany him back to Sylva. He
decided, however, that he had better
j take his own automobile, and got li
cense tags to put on it, which Holden
was doing, when Rhinehart went to
get water to put in his radialtor. Hol
den had made the trip in Chief
J. A. Turpin 's car, and according to
Holden he heard a crash, and turned
to find Rhinehart smashing head
lights, windshield, and windows of
Turpin 's car, with an axe. Chief Tur
pin is a brother of Warfield and
Alley Turpin.
Rhinehart, when approached later
by a representative of this paper,
stated that he Lad nothing to say for
publication.
