Pigs and Hogs
Under a United Press headline
this significant paragraph leads a
story sent out from Washington a
few days ago:
"Washington (UP)—The Secre
tary of Agriculture Claude R.
Wickard warned last night that
the nation faces a reduced meat
supply and higher prices in 1941.
He urges cattle and hog raisers
to increase production.”
Well sir, Mr. Wickard, we
think we can help you with your
plans. We know a man who has
taken much interest in the hog
business of this country during j
the past eight years and we be- 1
lieve he is just the man to help I
you now and he is not hard to
find.
His name is Franklin D. Roose
velt. He lives in Washington on
upper Pennsylvania avenue. He
knows how to plow under hogs
and drown little pigs in the
river, where thousands of them
went under his orders during his
first administration. Now after
all that experience he should be
able to render good advice on the
hog situation.
He can tell you how NOT to
raise hogs at a profit; he may be
able to tell you what kind of hogs
NOT to raise for the most profit
to the producer. He might tell
you what kind of corn NOT to
raise for use in feeding pigs he
paid you NOT to produce. He
might also tell you how he feeds
millions of people on hogs and
pigs he destroyed or farm pro
ducts he paid you NOT to raise.
If he cannot solve your prob
lem or tell you how this is done,
we will give you another refer
ence: Mr. Taxpayer. But try the
man at the head of Pennsylvania
avenue first. He should be the
answer to all your prayers.
No Soft Pedaling
An editorial in the Winston
Salem Journal deplores the act of
two boys who ripped a Nazi flag
from the window of the German
consulate in San Francisco. Here
is a paragraph from the Journal
editorial:
“Many of us know how the
boys probably felt. And too they
possibly did not realize that the
building from which the flag
floated was the German consu
late. Despite all this, their mis
guided patriotism was unfor
tunate, and calls for the rebuke
which has been given them by
government authorities.”
With the feeling as it is the
Germans should have known bet
ter than try to float the German
swastika in the face of free
Americans, all of whom think
just about as little of Adolf Hit
ler and his gang of cut throats as
they do of the devil. You can
compromise with the devil by
changing your way of living, but
there is no relief for the blood
thirsty hellion called Hitler.
Therefore we will not condemn
the youths who climbed to the
9th floor of the San Francisco
building and tore the nazi flag
from its moorings while 2,000
people looked on. We would not
condemn them if they tore down
the entire German consulate; and
if they had torn down the entire
German Empire we would ap
plaud them all the more. The
swastika flag stands for all that
is evil and horrible—for aggres
sion and cruelty, hatred and
death. It is an emblem of might
over right.
Soft pedaling with Hitler and
his kind will never bear fruit. His
murder of thousands of innocent
women and children, old and
young of all descriptions, is proof
that he has no conscience, there
fore where there is no conscience
there can be no soft pedaling.
And those boys only gave works
to their feelings, just like mil
lions of other people would like
to do. ' '

NOTES ON TOPICS
ABOUT TOWN
Ball: Barring bad weather, the
two President's Birthday dances
in Yadkinville and East Bend
stand to draw big crowds this
year. As this annual event is the
only chance people have to dance
to a good orchestra without hav
ing to go out of the county,
chances are that many persons
will attend. Jelly Leftwich, the
ex-band leader who sold his big
time orchestra lock, stock and
barrel in Chicago three months
ago because “he got tired of run
ning around the country making
one-night stands,” (at $300 a
night) helped to secure Harold
Gale and his orchestra for this
county. Mr. Leftwich, who has
charge of the Hotel Robert E.
Lee’s Personal Relations Dept.,
hiring orchestras, scheduling
dances, etc., for the Marine Roof,
said that Gale had a girl saxo
phonist and singer “who is ter
rific—really terrific!” The girl,
Mr. Leftwich says, is a former
member of Ina Ray Hutton’s all
girl orchestra.

Local Newsreels: Although Par
amount News will probably never
know the difference, they will
have some competition in Yadkin
county from now on. The Yadkin
Theatre, beginning the first of
February and continuing the first
of each month thereafter, will
show movie newsreels of local
events and happenings from all
sections of Yadkin county. This
will be the only town in the
United States with a population
of less than 5,000 showing a reg
ular local news feature. The
photography and narration will
be done by yours truly.
, * * *
Fifteen Years Ago: Many per
sons have evinced interest in the
few items of old news carried in
the Ripple a few days ago. For
several months, the Ripple has
been requested to run a few items
of events occurring years ago.
Older citizens are especially in
terested in reading these articles.
Many papers in surrounding
counties carry regularly columns
of news which occurred 10, 15 and
20 years ago. The Ripple will
carry a few items of this sort
once a month.
Boom: Florida is booming
again, according to Pat Patterson,
who returned several days ago
after a stay of a little more than
two months. He and Mrs. Pat
terson stayed in Miami, where he
installed two elevators in a new
fourteen story • hotel. Pat says
that forty-two new hotels had
been built or were in the process
of construction during his stay
there. Everything is wide open,
he said. The week he and Mrs.
Patterson left Miami, upon com
pletion of his job, hotel rates had
doubled all over the city.

Washington
Washington, Jan. 20—Wendell
|l. Willkie, titular head of the
Republican party, last week at
j tempted to throw a monkey
wrench into the planned opposi
tion to President Roosevelt’s ‘‘All
Out” aid-to-Britain bill by an
nouncing that he favored the
bill’s provisions with the very
minor reservation that a two
year time limit be placed on
Presidential powers.
While proponents of the bill
are hailing his statement as a
forthright, honest appraisal t-Jiat
should effect immediate passage
of the bill in its entirety, or with
a few minor changes, the opposi
tion is cautiously silent. Inform
ally, many Republican house and
senate members condemn the
former candidate’s statement, but
officially it is being ignored.
The opposition, however, is still
very voluble on the bill itself.
^This bill, number 1776, as it hap
jpens, proposes to give the Presi
jdent the unlimited right to “sell,
I transfer, exchange, lease, or
I otherwise dispose of” any defense
article which the President may
| deem advisable to transfer to an
other nation. It contains provi
sions for goods to be manufac
tured on government order and
paid for from the national trea
sury—these goods to be subject to
transfer as the President orders.
It also carries a provision for the
repair of British warships in
American ports—in fact, the bill,
as it stands, is so all-encompass
ing, that it gives the President
power to do everything except
send men to the aid of a country
whose defense he may think vital
to the safety of the United States.
Dewey Attacks Dill
New York’s District Attorney,
Thomas E. Dewey, came out with
a scathing indictment of the bill,
enumerating the unprecedented
powers it would give the Presi
dent and stating: “This is the
time for national unity. The
President’s proposal is a grave
blow, not only to national unity,
but to all free government every
where.” •
Former President Hoover and
former Republican candidate, Al
fred M. Landon, also strongly
condemned the bill, the latter
calling it “the first step toward
dictatorship.” Members of both
House and Senate joined in a
minority condemnation and
promised a terrific battle before
the bill was passed. However,
the President’s adherents backed
it strongly, many saying that its
provisions did not go far enough.
Representative Sol Bloom, Demo
crat of New York, and chairman
of the powerful House Foreign
Affairs Committee stated: “This
| bill follows the line of the Presi
dent’s address, and if it accom
jplishes the purpose of giving aid
I to the democracies, I have no
doubt that it will meet with pop
ular approval.”
There undoubtedly will be
changes in the bill before it is
passed. The time limit which
Mr. Willkie thought advisable,
will be probably inserted. Cer
tification from the army and
i navy that goods are not neces
sary for our own defense require
ments may be demanded, but
there is little doubt that bill 1776
will pass both House and Senate
without any vital revisions.
Long Debate Expected
There has been some discussion
of voting a cloture in the Senate
to prevent a filibuster—but this
means, a limit could be placed on
debate. But such a move has
never been made when vital leg- J
Lslation was before the body, and
It is doubtful if it could be forced
through.
It is expected that debate may
last well into March before final
consideration. Despite condemna
tion of the delaying tactics of the
opposition, it will be given a
thorough hearing and the coun
try will have every opportunity of
making its opinion felt in Con
gress.
The Latin American republics
may influence many votes on the
provision of the bill which calls'
for the repair of British ships in
American ports. This provision
would override the Declaration of
Panama which the American Re
publics entered into as a part of
their cooperative endeavor to
keep war from the Americas. A
specific part of this declaration
included: “The American Repub
lics shall prevent the fitting out,
arming or augmenting the forces
or armament of any ship or ves
sel to be employed in the service
of one of the belligerents; to
cruise or commit hostilities
against another belligerent.”
Largest Budget
in me meantime, tne largest
peace time budget in the history
of the United States lurks in the
background, and along with it,
the proposal to take the lid off
the debt limit. Informed quar
ters are predicting its passage
with a minimum of debate as
soon as the “All-Out” aid bill is
disposed of, with, however, the
debt limit maintained at a level
considerably higher than the
present $45,000,000,000 limit.
Almost lost in the turmoil over
the war bills and the budget are
various disputes arising from the
unsettled international situation.
Among them is that between the
Department of Justice and the
State Department. The Justice
Department is complaining about
the inrush of foreign agents in

Sheriff of Yadkin County
the guise of tourists and blames
the State Department for not
checking it at its source by deny
ing visas to prospective visitors
unless they can prove that it is to
the interest of the United States
to admit them.
The state Department, in a
delicate position because of our
professed espousal of the British
cause while we are legally at
peace with Germany, answers
that they make the most thor
ough investigation possible before
issuing visitors’ visas and can do
little more for fear of retaliation
by a foreign country.
