- HearD about TowN We have heard al lof our life that a hog never knew when he had1 enough, and we thoroughly agree it thai that tnat groundhog is guilty. Here we thought his time was up and we were going to have some sure! enough spring weather, like last Sun-! day, for Instance. Then yesterday | morning when we looked out and saw the ground covered with about two Inches of snow, well, Brother West will not allow us to say just what was uppermost in our mind. Monday was a busy day at the three projects which all Roxboro are so much interested in, namely, the swimming pool, gym at the high school and the community building. The snow Tuesday put a temporray stop to these activities, but unless, something unforseen happens all of I them will be far towards completion by the time the CWA expires. | As an evidence of prosperity one of our builders supply dealers told j us yesterday that he had sold more. cement during the past three months ' than at any time sinoe he had been in business in Roxboro, which is; twenty-five years. We-are still of the opinion that! we are going to have to open us a bank. of our own. Last Saturday j afternoon, after the bank had closed | at 2 o'clock, three men in succession j walked into our office for the pur pose of renewing to this family jour- J nal, and each caller threw a ten dollar William at us. Is there money I in the County? Sure there is, and our folks are spending it, too. If you want some of it, tell them what ?you have, and by the way. The Courier is your best medium. J ! While every Saturday afternoon brings a crowd to this good town.' last Saturday ?saw the biggest crowd for a long time. Many wondered what it was all about, but there was no occasion for wonderment. The Democratic County executive com- ? mittee was holding a meeting for the purpose of recommending a man for the position of postmaster at Roxboro, and all of the candi dates were here looking after their interest, hence the crowd. Well, the political pot is begin ning to simmer, and some of thi boys are being urged (?) by thei friends to offer themselves as a sac rifice for the legislature. Mr. Joe E. Kirby has been urged by his friends to run for the legislature, and he is feeling out the water. 80 far we have not heard a whisper about any one running for either of the County offices, and why should any one oiler, there can not be found more acceptable men than those now filling these places. Eggs were-selltng here for fifteen cents a dozen Saturday, which is quite a drop from thirty cents. Well.1 with eggs at fifteen cents thfre is; little excuse for any one to go hun- j gry, save the one who is in the chicken business. Mr. Fisken Chevrolet | Advertising Manager | The appointment of C. P. Fisken as advertising manager of Chevro-j let Motor Company is announced today by William p. Holler, general sales manager. Mr. Fisken succeeds R. H. Crooker. j who becomes associated with Camp bell-Ewald Company. Starting as a Chevrolet repre sentative in the Janesville zone more than 10 years ago, Mr. Fisken, has steadily advanced to positions' of greater responsibility each year, j From representative to sales promo tion manager of the zone was his first step and this was quickly fol lowed by his elevation to regional sales promotion manager of the Great Lakes region, one of the largest and most important in the country. Last October Mr. Fisken was ap pointed manager of the sales pro motion department of Chevrolet and it was under his direction that the successful launching of the new 1934 Chevrolet took place. Mr, Fis ken's elevation to the most impor tant advertising post in the auto-; mobile industry followed his unu sually fine record over the ten year period. -o TICK-TOCKS RE GARDLESS OF FIRE The Park Street office of the Nor-1 folkrjind Western. Railway at Roa noke was recently destroyed by fire. The morning after the conflagra tion several of the "homeless' office workers wandered into what had been the office of W. O. Franklin, superintendent of the Radford di I vision. They found the room gut ted and blackened by fire, papers, , furniture, etc., destroyed. In this melancholy atmosphere the visitors heard a familiar tick-tock, tick tock. They looked up with amaze ment. There upon a watersoaked and blistered wall hung the ancient office clock, calmly ticking off the second*. The historic railroad time piece has done yeoman's service. The old clock, according to the Norfolk and Western Magazine, was originally the property of the At lantic. Mississippi and Ohio Rail road. one of the predecessors of the N. Si W.?this old regulator has been in service about 72 years. GRAZING CATTLE ON WOODLANDS IS LITTLE PROFIT Grazing on woodlands Is harm ful to both the cattle and the tim ber, warns R. W. Graeber, exten sion forester at N. C. State College. In wooded tracts, cattle waste their energy and reduce their body weight roving in endless searches for grass . And at the same time they prevent young saplings from growing up to renew the older trees that either die out or are eut off for wood or lumber. Unrestricted grazing also damages timber already standing and is bad on the soil. Timber growth is slow ed, the quality of the timber low ered. Tops die, roots and butts rot, and much timber that would other wise be good has to be discarded when the trees are cut for market. Cattle relish the foliage of white ash, sugar, maple, yellow poplar, elm, bass wood, white oak. red oak. shell bark hickory, and other of the more valuable timbers. The result is that the animals browse off the saplings before they can grow to any ap preciable size. Other saplings that are not eaten are liable to be trampled down. Generally, Graeber said, the bet ter quality woods are preferred by the cattle, while the poorer woods are left to grow, thereby lowering the quality of the timber in the stand. Cattle also cut up the leaf lit ter. pack the soil, expose the Toots, and start little gullies. The result is that little rain water is absorbed. It runs quickly in rivulets which start erosion. With less water in the soil and the fertile elements washed away, timber growth is "Stunted. v Gold of Understanding Requires no Crucible It would be reasonable to suppose that those who had worked their way. slowly and ? tediously, from the bottom to the topmost rung in the ladder, would have a broader and more sympathetic consideration for others who find the climb painful, than him who has been hoisted to the top by fortuitious circumstances. Yet by some curious quirk of hu man nature, it does not generally work out that way. In the Industries when one has risen from offlce boy to manager or from the lathe to superintendent of works, if he does not malnfest a sort of intolerance for his fellows, he is an exception to the rule. Count them on your fingers and see. Herbert Hoover, for Instance, is frequently referred to as a self-made man who fought his way through difficulties that are the common lot of those who toll. He was success ful In amassing comfortable wealth, and was favored with political pre ferment. It would not, perhaps, be fair to say that he Is or was Intol erant of his fellows, but certainly his Interest In the common herd does not measure up to that of his successor to the presidency. President Roosevelt is by birth, training and tradition an arisocrat. It is not related that work and worry were his lot. Yet as the days move on there is Increasing evidence of his interest In and sympathy for the man who toils. That he Is sin-! cere In his loyalty to the "forgotten man" goes without question. From many different angles he has proved his understanding concern In the problems of the little man, and through the warp and woof of his administrative career so far, is seen the thread of his sympathetic de termination to lighten his load. It would seem that great crusa ders for any cause would be bol stered by personal experience in its trials, but this is not always so.? Statesville Record. o ?
