Pumps and Purchasing Power
fNE elemental thing to remember about recov
ery by pump-priming : All the water has to
come out of one well production. Purchasing
power ultimately is derived from goods and services
produced. There is no other source, and those who
think money is pulled put of the air by congression
al appropriations for pump-priming are lue for as
rude a shock as those who think it can be made on
printing presses. In the end, goods and services
must be paid for with goods and services.
Purchasing power is not created by pump-priming.
The priming is water taken from the same well
the national income of wealth produced and uti
lized. The priming may induce a freer flow of pro
duction. If the pump of private enterprise is in good
working order, it should. If not, only a few buckets
of retail-trade buying power will be skimmed from
the surface. The pump will reach. down and bring,
up a steady flow of private investment only when
the pump is lubricated with' confidence.
It is important to center on increasing the na
tional income in terms of actual production. The
fact that the priming must also come from that
source is not necessarily an argument against prim
ing. The thing to make sure of is having the pump .
in good order so water poured in will not be wasted.

Hitler having swallowed Austria, the question
now is as to whether he will get indigestion when
he tries to gobble Czechoslovakia.
Borrowing beyond the limit and spending as fast
as possible nifty be good policy for a government,

jail house.
The Chinese seem to have completely shattered
the myth that Japanese soldiers never run away.
A Jap can run as fast as a white man when the

The date for the' state primary approaches, when
the average voter must make a choice between
state candidates about whom he knows nothing,
and cares even less than that.
A big banker in opposing the President's spend

breathing spell." Probably so, but how will folks get
a long breathing spell unless they eat occasionally ?

AIR MAIL WEEK
STARTSSUNDAY
Nation Will Observe 20th
Anniversary Of
Service
To commemorate the 20th anni
versary of our most recent step to
wards greater speed and better ser
vice, the week of May IS through
May 21 has been officially set aside
as National Air Mail Week.
Only two decades ago, on May
15, 1918, the first air mail service
was established a short line be
tween New York and Washington,
a distance of 218 miles. It was
necessary for the service to oper
ate in two relays with planes hav
ing a speed of only 80 miles per
hour. Today, flights of 1,000 miles
with hundreds of pounds of mail
are a common occurrence. The
little 218 mile air mail system has
expanded in these few years to a
system covering 62,826 miles. And
during the last fiscal year planes
flew over seventy million miles
along these air lanes. " ;
Fhenom email Growth
The use of air mail service has
been growing by leaps and bounds.
In 1934 6,476,919 pounds of mail
were transported and in 1937 19,
000,000 pounds. This astounding in
crease shows that, more and more,
people are recognizing the great
value of speed and are turning to
the service " that makes neighbors
of those even at great distances.
North Carolina was the leading
state last year in the observance
of Air Mail Week, and great ef
forts are being, made by postmast
ers and chambers of commerce
throughout the; state to make the
returns even greater this year.
Further (details as to local obser
vance will be published next week.

Peddling
Ordinance Amended By
Town Board
The Franklin, town board at the
regular monthly meeting held Mon
day night, amended the peddling
ordinance so that there will be no
restriction upon Macon, county
farmers who bring their produce to
towh for sale. They can sell any
where they choose on the square
or on the streets the only regula
tion being that the one-hour park
ing limit on Main street will be
enforced.1
The town board will see that the
ordinance against professional ptdr
dlers is enforced, as it is held that
those who expect to sell from
trucks the year round in Franklin
can easily secure a private lot con
veniently located where they can
carry on their business.
In regard to the parking ordi
nance, the board instructed the
chief of police to notify all business
men that, beginning May 15, the
one-hour limit on Main street will
be strictly enforced, and cases will
be made against all violators. The
ordinance does not apply to vis
itors. .
