It is send ing more billions after the many other billions that have already been spent in vain, as far as re covery is concerned. If you, as an individual, set out to better yourself financially by spending wildly, your neighbors would call such conduct foolish. Why isn’t it Just as foolish for a govern ment to do that very thing? Lav ish spending results in waste and worse, in governmental as well as in private affairs. There is abun dant evidence to support that statement. Appropriation for human relief can be defended, but spending to buy prosperity hasn’t a sound leg to stand on. That’s not politics, but merely good sense. We need thrift, not waste. One Kilowatt-Hour We’ve all heard of kilowatt hours—which are a measurement for a certain amount of electri city. But few realize Just how much energy one kilowatt-hour represents. In a recent laboratory test, a strong young ex-pugilist was put to work driving a hand generator until exhaustion forced him to stop. He produced Just a little over one per cent, of one kilo watt-hour. More than two hun dred men took turns operating a bicycle-driven generator — and their combined efforts, kept up until they were too weary to go on, produced just ten cents worth of electricity! A kilowatt-hour of electricity, purchased from a utility com pany, costs a fraction of one cent to five cents, depending upon your monthly consumption.

THROUGH KEYHOLE By BILL RUTLEDGE A HODGE-PODGE list OP DISPARATE NOTES Comet Note: Yadkin natives are hereby warned not to do any thing: rash If, in the middle of one of these clear, sunshiny days the sky suddenly turns a peculiar yellow, followed quickly by dusk, or almost total darkness, accom panied with a smell Of burning oxygen. It will only mean that Cunningham’s Comet has come between the earth and the sun. This “Yellow Day” is due at noon on January 19, the Astrologists say. As some of you Jitterbugs will remember, the same thing happened in 1881, causing no end of confusion and scurrying about when the populace decided that the oxygen smell was brimstone burning, and lost no time making up for lost prayers. * • * Treasure Note: Any Yadkin county person receiving letters from Mexico requesting the re ceiver to help find a plot of buried treasure or otherwise claiming to have a “get rich quick" scheme should entirely, disregard the missive or turn it over to Sheriff Inscore. Such letters have been received in Sur ry, Forsyth, and many other counties around here recently. The sender usually pretends to be locked in jail, and has from $100, 000 on up in a trunk supposed to be somewhere in the U. S. or Mexico. The writer then states that he has a friend, whom he has the utmost confidence in, and to contact him. Naturally, it will take six or seven hundred dollars to get the trunk out of hock or to pay storage fees, but after that he will gladly divide the money with you. So you are supposed to meet the friend in some ob scure place, with the money, of course, at which time you will be lucky to get off with a tap from a blackjack and a couple of black eyes. WWW Foreign Language Note: Be cause of changing world condi tions, there has been a movement on in North Carolina to change the teaching of French, Latin, and other foreign languages in schools to Spanish. Speaking from a purely personal stand point, and remembering how we struggled through three years of Latin and French in school, we heartily endorse the movement, except that we add that they kick out Spanish too. Unless a student considers majoring in foreign languages or teaching them in college later in life, we consider it a waste of time to teach any foreign language to high school students. We know this is revolutionary, but we also add that in place of foreign languages, a class or two should be taught to prepare students, es pecially those who will terminate their education upon graduating from high school, to leave with at least a smattering of learning to enable them to cope with the cold, cruel business world (as our lady English professor used to tell us in college) and the little mat ter of making a living.
