Established 1892 Subscription Rates: 1 Year _$1.00 6 Months _ .60 Payable in Advance 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.

KEYHOLE By BILL RUTLEDGE 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.

Long’s store in Yadkinville, Saturday, Jan. 25th, between 9 and 2 o’clock, and every Sat urday thereafter at the same time. Heavy Hens _15c lb. Highest prices possible for all other poultry W. W. SMITH, Buyer (Will be there rain or shine) 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 Business Specials For sale, 1—1934 Chevrolet mo- 1 tor in A-l condition; 4—1934 Chevrolet wheels in A-l condi tion; 1—1934 Chevrolet R.

INSCORE 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.
