A Strange Theory
“Spending’s the way to pros
perity.” That’s the strange doc
trine by which Congress is once
more seeking to lift this country
out of its depression. 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.

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.

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.
