flOp&rftltin Sipple W. E. RUTLEDGE Editor and Publisher . W. E. RUTLEDGE, JR. Associate Editor Published Every Thursday Entered at the Postoffice at Yadkinville, as second class mail matter. Established 1892 Subscription Rates: 1 Year _$1.00 6 Months _ .60 Payable in Advance The Red Cross Worker The Red Cross Worker in Yad kin county and throughout the land is working through this an nual roll call, and through each such period, for the love of a cause that has been a source of relief and assurance to all humanity in times of health and happiness and in times of disaster, sorrow and hardship. To the healthy and full handed they can look ahead with assur ance that if disaster overtakes them they will have a hand to lean on; to those in need, they know that at their disposal is a Red Cross base nearby which will come to their aid when it is de serving. The Red Cross worker, all of whom are volunteers and serve without pay, can say, when their work is over, that they have done a good neighbor turn and know that their work has not been in vain. We hail these volunteer workers as a part of the great heroes of a country that is always prepared to help the helpless, the sick and those of sudden misfortune. While their work is peaceful, and done without great noise or ballyhoo, they are no less the quiet soldier, doing their bit ahead of the dis aster to come and playing a role of mercy to those in misery. They should have their medals and their crowns along with those who fight at the front. P.-T. A. Entertained At Dinner Members of the Yadkinville Parent-Teacher Association were entertained Monday evening as guests of the second-year home economics class, under the direc tion of Miss Sadie McCall, at which time they enjoyed a form al dinner prepared by the group. Instructive and interesting comments were given throughout the three-course dinner, each ser vice being explained at length during the open forum. Hostess was Ruth Calloway, assistant hostess, Phyllis Long. Guests were Rosa Warden and Virginia Haire, and waitress was Frieda Rose Hinshaw. Superintendent Fred C. Hob son spoke briefly, complimenting the businesslike procedure of P.-T. A. activities, and stressed the necessity of teaching Dem ocracy and unity in the school room. Color movies, containing scenes of Europe and Western United States, will be shown at the De cember meeting of the organiza tion.

Bureau of Agricultural Econo mics. THROUGH KEYHOLE By BILL RUTLEDGE As news, especially the kind we use in this column, is short around these parts this week, our eight readers will have to be sat isfied with a poem of sorts we clipped from the Publisher’s Aux iliary, a weekly trade paper from Atlanta. It was printed in Elmo Scott Watson’s column, "Dear Ed,” and was originally written by H. C. Storrs, who is as much a stranger to us as he probably is to you. The poem follows: THE WIFE OF A NEWSPAPER MAN Yes, sure, I’m the wife of a news paper man, The fact I can state with some joy; Yet the statement, perhaps, amended should be— For he’s only a newspaper boy. The day we were wed—I recall it with glee (For, ’spite all his faults, he’s a dear) He broke up the services to nudge me, and say, "My best advertisers are here.” Our first wedding breakfast I’ll never forget— The service was swell, and so grand, But hubby spoke sharp to the waiter, and said, “I eat none but an advertised brand.” Strong our devotion and steadfast our love— A love that will last through the years, But often my husband — this newspaper man— Drives me to the verge of deep tears. For instance, last night ’twas a time for romance, All nature seemed smiling and glad, I lay by his side and dreamed of our love: He muttered “A 2-col. ad.” I remember the day our first baby arrived— Lilies were white and roses were red: My husband looked down at the youngster and “Huh! The size of a four-col umn spread.' Should Death at our portals a fateful call make— Should Bob near the end of his days, Gabriel will find him a contrary man, He’s “sot” in his newspaper ways. The day when dire sickness in vaded our home (The boss, for a wonder, was there) Doc tested his heart and felt of his pulse: His statement was candid, but fair: “Circulation is low, and soon will be less.” From the bed there came un sicklike sounds: “Doc,” he said and he glared, “you’re a liar, you know It’s growing by leaps and by bounds!” Ah, yes, I’m the wife of a newspaper man, A reason, some think, for much j glee, But often I think when his mind’s far away He’s wed to the paper, not me. —H. C. Storrs. MEXICAN HEAD IS RECOGNIZED BY F.D.R. Mexico City, Nov. 13.—Mexico’s political skies, clouded for months with talk of possible political revo lution, were cleared today by news that the United States had recog nized the election of General Man uel Avila Camacho as president. This was regarded in political circles as a final blow to followers of General Juan Andreu Almazan, who contend their candidate de feated the admihistration-backed Avila Camacho in the turbulent elections last July. It is a political axiom in Mexico, these circles recalled, that no Mexican president can stay long in office if the United States scorns him. Fort on Juan Island, Puget Sound, was the last bit of United States land to be occupied by British troops—1878. Author of "Row to Win Friend* and Influence People." GETTING A RAISE Here’s a letter that persuaded a bank president to give a janitor a raise—a letter containing su perb psychology, written by Wil liam Nichols, a colored janitor at the Peoples Bank, and also at the Post Office, at Roxboro, North Carolina. William holds down several other small jobs such as firing furnaces, mowing lawns and gar dening. He is one of the most energetic colored men in town. He went to the postoffice where he could use a typewriter and sat down and pecked off a letter to Gordon C. Hunter, vice president of the bank. William Nichols has not had much education, and he wrote as he would have spoken. But no one with a college educa tion could have written a letter that was more psychologically sound. Better spelling, yes; bet ter psychology, no. He talked in terms of the other fellow. This is his letter: “Dear Sir: “I wants to express my appre ciedion for all the nice things you have done for me since you have ben a member of the People Bank, an for the mount of money I owe the Bank. If you will give me one more month, I will pay you in three payment and thanks to you, but may I ask you to rea son with me just a moment. “You be the janitor for a few minutes and let me be Mr. Hunt er. You have give me the best of your services for the las 14 years with the average of 3 hours for every day and 365 days to the year, or 10,095 hours each year an I pay you between 15 and 18 cents per hour an yoo have got to pay your house rent and feed and close your family. Buy wood an coal and carry your insurance an pay your doctor bill and send your children to school an if you are smart enuff to fine some thing else to do, thas no reason I shouldnt pay you what you is worth to me. “Now less change back. You be Mr. Hunter and I be William. I have said to you before, I love my job and I wants to keep my job as long as I can, but I will sure thank you if you will raise my salary. If you do and if you dont, it is still my job. Thank you sir. After you finish all work an dont have one thing to worry your mine, you will re member me. “Prom William Nickels.” I asked Mr. Hunter if William Nickels got his raise. He replied: “Yes, indeed, he got his raise! We could have found a dozen other people to have done the work for less, and still have been within the limitations of the Wage and Hour Bill, but we thought he de served the raise for his letter.” That janitor used wisdom as profound as Plato. This is what he did: he ex pressed appreciation for past fav ors; he told of the service he ren dered; he outlined the situation from his point of view; he ap pealed for more money. Escapes Injury In Auto Accident — Mrs. M. A. Temple, of Winston Salem, employed at the local'soil conservation office, overturned her automobile on the Yadkin ville-Winston-Salem highway, a short distance from the Yadkin river bridge, on the Forsyth side, while driving to work here Tues day morning.
