TeU of Work
"Whin 1 went out of Congress
iii March. 192. tlu North Carolina
park commission voluntarily otter
ed nic employment as attorney in
connection with the acquisition of
park lands. The salary was fixed
entirely by the park commission,
and during one period of my ser
vice was raised, without any request
bv me. on account of tlte efficiency
01 my work. 1 had supervision of
ull the titles of lands I i 1 1 between
the Pigeon River and the Tennes
see, a distance of fifty miles. There
weie more than four hundred tracts
to be acquired. Some of them ay
gregated as much as 50,000 acres,
h was diffkull, detailed work. For
two years 1 worked day and niyht
in order to expedite the acquisition
ot these lands and I certainly am
in uu mood to apologize to any one
for this work. I had the right to
accept this appointment and the
, .North v arolina Hark Commission
had a right to give it to me if they
so desired, lust how any sane per
son can question the propriety of
mv rinht to perform thi service is
beyond my comprehension. The
question the people should be in
terested in is as to the efficiency
and value of the service render
ed, x x x x
"I feel that it is but a fair re
quest to the public to yet its in
formation from those who were re-
snonsihlt for this work, includini'
Mr Verm- Rhodes tr.,- Pxertitive
secretary of the park commission,
as well as Mr. Cammerer, who had
supervision of the Rockefeller fund.
The Ultima tion that Mr. Cammerer
was dissatisfied and sought to have
the old park commission changed,
because of expenses including at
torneys' fees, is pure, unadulterated
fabrication. The facts to the con
trary. are too well known. The new
park commission came in and has
discharged its duties fully and well
Practically all of the lands, except
the Suncrest and Ravensford 'prop
erty, had been acquired before I
left the active service of the park
commission in 1931. The inability
of the commission to agree with
the owners resulted in long, and to
my mind, unfortunate litigation,
against which T advised. regret
ted the inability to agree with the
Kavensford people. It is certainly
not due to any fault of mine, and
the only way to settle the matter
was through litigation, which has
consumed much time and labor.
"I rendered legal service of all
kinds t the park commission, con
scientiuuslv and 1 believe efficient--fyr-
"Much agony seems to be ex
pressed over the opening of the
park. The formal opening intended
was a mere celebration. The park
is now open to the public. T have
been instrumental, as a member of
congress, in securing, through al
lotment by the president, an ad
ditional $1,550,000 for the purchase
of the necessary lands. I have se
cured two and one-halt million dol
lars to be set aide for building
roads, and this work is now not
in prospect, but in actual opera
tion. Any one Csiting New Found
dap can see tlu- mvat development
under way." In addition, a large
sum of money was secured for the
construction of other mads and
trails anil this work is now under
way.
"There has been a superintendent
rangers on both sides of the moun
rangers on bothsides of the moun
tain, and with fire equipment and
thorough patrol of all the park
area. Recently it has been opened
for fishing, under federal super
vision. "f pierely point to these things
to show just what has been ac
complished. There is still some
work to do. I hae work on the
park to do here. shall try to do
it without regard to these nagging,
malicious attacks, and leave the
matter to the common sense
honest v of the people."

RELIGION
In The Here and Now
By Rev. Norvin C. Duncan
Till-; writer f Psalms 79-KO re
counts the disasters that have
befallen Israel, attributing them to
the punishment of Jehovah, because
Israel had forsaken His laws. He
prays for the return of favor and
the heli of God; He wonders how
long the wrath of Cod shall endure
anil calls upon Him to witness that
their enemies mock them because
their Cod hath forsaken them.
That is the generally accepted
idea in the Old Testament. Cod
becomes angry and punishes His
people. The New Testament gives
us a different picture. There, in
the face of Jesus, we see that God
it twf nnil manifests His novver in
savins and helninc a world broken .
by its wrong-doing.
The world has been a long time
in coming to the realization that
the laws of life carry within them
selves the penalty for violating
them. Those Old Testament writ
ers saw the inevitable consequences
t violated law and attributed the
consequences to the fact that God
was angry and punished His peo
le. They failed to see that they
were simply reaping what they had
sown the results of having acted
in a certain way. Only in the fact
that effects always follow causes,
something inherent in creation, can
we say that Cod visits His people
with chastisement. Man it hi own
executioner.
Nor does ignorance of law pre
vent the effects of violating it.
Epidemics such as typhus, typhoid,
smallpox, once were thought to be
divine visitations, are now known
to be the result of violation of the
laws of' living. Cod does not send
jsickness, It is a terrible thing to
attribute such things as smallpox,
diphtheria, or cancer to a kind,
loving. Cod. On occasions Jesus
attributed sickness to the devil, and
He healed all manner of sickness
and disease as a part of His work
of saving from the power of the
evil one.
The growth of a nation in wealth,
selfishness and power has always
excited the envy, jealousy and dis
like of other nations, leading to
war or internal strife, The rich
people of the world today cannot
enjoy their riches because there are
in concentration of wealth and its
consequent lack of distribution the
elements of destruction. They in
vite unfriendly forces. These
friendlv forces appear today in
racketteers, kidnapers and other
pernicious influences.
Jesus warned of the danger of
riches. Wealth does something to
its possessor, and it does some
thinu to other people. The rich
men of the world are not any
worse than other men. "Often they
are good men, but the system which
permits them to accumulate so
much wealth is bad for them, and
bad for society.
If the preachers had not mis
interpreted Jesus anf gave to His
words the meaning that a rich man
would go to hell when he died we
should be much better off in the
world today. Jesus was talking
about what riches would do to men
here and now. He declared it was
i no profit to gain the world and
lose the soul and we are aware to
day that our troubles are due to
having a world of things and no
soul. We have neglected the sptr
it, and the spirit is in revolt.
The way out is the way of obe
dience to law. We must net a new
sense of values; we must get char
acter. There can be no effective
material recovery until material
prosperitv springs out of a new
mind and a new heart.

FOOLISH
FANCIES
BY ROY L. GRIFFIN
Of N. C. Camp F-9
Civilian Conservation Corps
I WAS talking with a certain
gentleman in Franklin last week,
Wlieli his little
;irl came running
tip to him.
Daddy," she says, "I want a
tiielle for cam v. and 1 want to
spend the night with so-and-so."
"Here's a nickle for candy, re
plied the aforesaid gentleman, "but
you'll have to see your mother
about spending the niffht with your
little girl friend."
After the youngster had left he
turned to me and said, "You know,
that kid of mine thinks more ol
that "Foolish Fancies" column of
yours than anything else at all."
Well, I'm telling you, folks, if
President Roosevelt had said that 1
wouldn't have felt any better. May
he I'll end up by telling bed-time
stories to kids. (I love 'em) That's
as good an occupation as anyone
could have now-a-davs. Huh?
When I was home a couple of
months ago my father (a grand
old gent) asked me how old I was.
When I replied that I was almost
twenty-one he turned to my kid
brothei and said, "Good gosh, son,
I'll have to start taking every cent
eon make."
