THE DAILY VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL o As an editor, as a Christian, as a citizen, and in any other way possible we should like to go on record as commending the work done in Va cation Bible Schools. Right now one is being held in the Baptist church in Zebulon. Teach ers are without exception capable, a large per cent having both college degrees and experience in the school room. They work no less faithful ly because they receive no salaries and at times see no tangible results of their efforts. But the good that has been done in this way is beyond calculation. oOo GETTING A JOB o I read somewhere not long ago that the im portant thing for the one without a job is to get a job. It is more important to get a job than to get pay—at least to begin. The young man fresh out of college who sits around waiting for a job commensurate with his ability will probably be on the waiting list a long time. And if he is thinking primarily of the salary, he will likely pull down a few pay checks and then be looking for a job again. The young fellow with ambition and energy says, "I’ll work for you for nothing; it’s better for me than loafing around home or down town.” i To get a job, one with a future, get work that < leads in the direction of a job. The engine must 1 be started before the car runs. Begin work in I the right way and the job will soon be found. A t summer vacation job has led many a young man r to a position and permanent success in life, c Choosing between the young man who works r for experience during vacation and the one who t refuses because the pay is too little, I will take v the former everytime if I am looking for the v boy who wil grow and climb to the pinnacle of f success. I —i 000 THE NEW DEAL o Because of his criticism of certain features of the New Deal the editor of the Record has been accused of being a Republican. We have noticed lately in a great many of the smaller newspapers published in the State hinted sug gestions of changes that ought to be made and veiled criticisms of prodigal spending of the people’s money. And now some papers are coming out in the open and attacking the New Deal. Only a few of the big dailies still shout “the King can do no wrong.” We believe our present attitude towards the principles laid down six years ago by candidate Roosevelt is more consistent than that of President Roose velt. A citizen of this community said to us to day that a few years ago the nation rose up and put the Republicans out because they were not giving the people a good government. He says the New Deal is so inconsistent and extravagant that the people will shortly be ready to kick the New Deal out and try something else. He men tioned especially the way dependents are being multiplied by the depression methods of help and the millions of dollars being uselessly ex pended. In New York City the relief system became so corrupt that almost an army of investigators were set to work to uncover cases of chiseling on the part of applicants for aid. Thirty of them were attacked recently. In one case a 60-year old woman held a feminine investigator while THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON. NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JUNE 10,1938. another woman scratched and kicked the relie worker. Bruce Barton, the son of a minister, whi broke into Congress with the promise to “repea a law a day,’’ proposes seven separate commis sions to examine the "seven deadly sores” o the day: The Farm Problem, Unemploymen and Relief, Social Security, Taxation of Indus try, Reciprocal Trade, Public Competition witl Private Utilities and Railroad Earnings. I Representative Barton succeeds with his under taking and gets honest men on his committees they will uncover a stench, we believe, that wil be in comparison with the Teapot Dome scandal like a volcano beside a teakettle. There has been so much power delegated t< one man and so much money spent in this na tion for chiseling and other corrupt evils tha one need not be surprised to learn that the Lili putians have grown into Brobdingnagians. The New Deal has meddled with private business and regulated public business till many of ev ery class and condition are displeased and ready to join any movement that will put the people in control of their government. But with one out of every dozen or more working for the New Deal and other millions living off the taxes paid by the earners, it will be hard to beat it. How ever, unless retrenchment, reform and renova tion are instituted in Barton’s "seven deadly sores” so as to make the New Deal a Good Deal, it will become a Dead Deal, and much of the Democratic party will die with it. oOo HAVE WE ANY RIGHTS WITHOUT DUTIES? William Graham Sumner o There is a beautiful notion afloat in our lit erature and in the minds of our people that men are born to certain "natural rights.” If that were true, there would be something on earth which was got for nothing, and this world would not be the place it is at all. The fact is that there is no right whatever inherited by man which has not an equivalent and corresponding duty by the side of it. The rights, advantages, capital, knowledge and all other goods which we inherit from past generations have been won by the struggle and sufferings of past genera tions; and the fact that the race lives, though men die, and that the race can by heredity ac :umulate within some cycle its victories over nature, is one of the facts which make civiliza tion possible. The struggles of the race as a whole produce the possessions of the race as a whole. Something for nothing is not to be ? ound on earth.—Shining Lines, Mergenthaler Linotype Co. oOo MORALS OF GOVERNMENT AT STAKE o The investigation of the Tennessee Valley Authority is at last under way. In the opening sessions, a number of exceedingly grave charges affecting directors, policies and activities of the Authority were made. In the course of the in vestigation, which will take a substantial length of time to complete, all parties involved will be heard, and will be given every opportunity to present their side. The important thing is to make this investi gation thorough and impartial. Charges and countercharges must be weighed, not in the light of politics or of partisan considerations, but in the light of truth. Nothing relevant must be kept hidden. No one must be whitewashed. The senators and representatives on the in vestigating board are charged with a grave re sponsibility. Few investigations in our congres- , sional history have been as important. Far more is involved in this question than whether money ; was wasted or spent wisely, or whether the TVA j has been administered efficiently or inefficient- « ly. The morals of government are inextricably i involved in the TVA. And also involved is a great l question of governmental policy that cannot help F but affect every taxpayer, every worker, every 1 investor, and every private enterprise in this country. * Millions of thinking citizens will be watch- fc ing the TVA investigation. They want the truth 1 —plain and unprejudiced. 8 lndustrial News - Review Our Uncle Sam Turns Housewifely; a\ Vacuum Cleans a Harbor’s Floor i- rs/ '1 • -■ .wtT f ' '':'y / ' v S& % ■IJr .I ■ >s y „*•- JmSHHeh S&fcMM i I Vi' '*' ' - I.’ ”*• ■ • \ _ ___• w J-,:;;%;> TPf * Tons of p|it. and sand that I down the Hudson River isl ' ”o ;'!•!( *•., ,r,• •! t ocean liners § .
