THE PILOT, a Paper With Character, Aberdeen, Pag*e Four Friday, November 14, 1930. Eleven Million Enrolled in Cause of American Red Cross Last Year Relief Rendered by Orgranizati«n in 38 States at Cost of Over a Million The roll call during the fiscal year, ending June 30, 1930, resulted in 4,- 130,966 Senior members and 6,- 930,849 Junior members of the Amer ican National Red Cross. While the nation did not suffer any extensive disasters during this year, the Red Cross was called into action for this type of relief in 38 states. In eight of these states, relief was giv en three times during the year, and in 10 states help was given in four or more disasters. The Red Cross gave relief in 147 counties during periods of suffering caused by as many as 10 different types of disasters, the most hazardous being tornadoes, "huirricanes^ floods and forest fires. In addition, 23 towns were assisted with emergency and re habilitation relief following fires, ex plosions and epidemics. Statistics show that the Red Cross, in this year gave emergency relief to nearly 90,000 persons and rehabilita tion aid to more than 8,000 families. The national organization partici pated in 45 of the domestic and insu lar disasters, with direct financial and supervisory control of ten. Approxi mately 180 Red Cross Chapters gave disaster service during the year. The sum of $1,320,766.25 was spent by the American National Red Cross and its Chapters during the year for disaster relief in the United States i*nd Insular possessions. Veteran Aid Red Cross workers in 64 veterans cureau and government hospitals as sisted more than 26,486 disabled and sick veterans monthly through solving hc»me and personal problems that in terfered with their medical treatment, through entertainments, motion pic ture shows, card parties and in con tributing small comforts. The Red Cross program in these hospitals sup plements the governmental program, the Red Cross performing numerous services which government workers are not permitted to do under existing Congressional appropriations. A monthly average of 55,209 serv ice men and ex-service men and their families were reported by Red Cross Home Service workers in Chapters, camps and hospitals. Home Service v>-orkers straightened out home prob lems, helped in filing veterans’ claims, aided in obtaining hospitalization for the sick and assisted men and their families to rehabilitate themselves. Red Cross workers in 368 camps, 4 army posts and naval stations aided ST,250 men in the regular Army, Navy and Marine Corps by solving home problems, and in many other ways. This work is carried on under the Congressional Charter which estab lished that the Red Cross shall be the medium of communication between the people of the nation and their legular armed forces. Nurses totalled 51,047 of whom ap proximately 27,000 were on the active I)st, ready to respond to calls from the Army, Navy or the Red Cross disaster service. Red Cross public health nurses made 1,242,424 nursing visits other than classroom and inspection 968,096 chil dren in schools during the year. At the close of the year,’ 795 nurses were employed in 555 Chapters. In Nutrition classes more than 160,- 000 children were taught the princi ples of nutrition and its application to their daily lives, while in Food Se lection and Nutrition Classes, more than 10,000 adults were instructed in food values which promote health ful living. * First Aid and Life Saving 74,437 First Aid certificates were issued to persons who completed courses in first aid to the injured. The total number of First Aid certificates issued in 424,928. Not only are these men and women proficient in helping called for and built. George Moore of tors, who may pass on their knowledge to others. Life Saving classes graduated 52,- 798 this year. To date 273,202 Life Saving graduates have been enrolled, and are entitled to wear the Red Cross insignia as life savers. Boys and girls in junior and high schools, private, public and parochial, cf the nation, numbering 6,930,849 are enrolled as members of the Jun- :ior Red Cross. Their motto is “I ’Serve,” and they engage in volunteer activities to bring comforts to vet erans in hospitals, to orphans, the iaged, the crippled, and to their own school-fellows, if need exists. They conduct correspondence and exchange : portfolios with the school-children of other nations. The National Or ganization contributed $6,47^.19 last :year to carry on Junior Red Cross ac- ;tivities in two Indian schools and $54,- j842.73 toward aiding childiren In other lands, including League of Red Cross Societies’ Junior Red Cross activities.

Outlook Looks Out On Another Season First Number of Pine^hurst Full of Features, News and Illustrations Number one of Volume 34 of The j Pinehurst Outlook made it appearance during the past week and deserves to be numbered in what is known in the magazine field as “The Quality Group.” It is a real magazine, with Struthers Burt heading a prominent list of contributors. A. T. Robertson, Jr., is editor of The Outlook. Features in this opening number of the season include illustrations of the new Watson Lake, a story, “Golfing Hands,” by W. N. Cox, sports editor of the Greensboro Daily News; “The Risinig Tide of Public Taste,” by Struthers Burt, in which the Sand hills come ill for a fair bit of such praise as only Struthers Burt can ac cord the Sandhills, and an article by the editor of The Pilot, Bion H. But ler, “A Center of Country Life.” Then the magazine is full of news of things happening and things to happen in this vicinity this winter, profusely il lustrated with the talented aid of Brother Hemmer, the genial photog rapher of Pinehurst events. Although a 40 million pound in crease 'Over- last yearns tobacco crop is forecast, producers* sales in this state are approximately six million pounds behind those of last year, the drop being attributed to a decrease of $5 in the average price per hundred pounds. An average price of $14.92 was paid for tobacco during October as com pared with an average price of $19.91 in October 1929, according to the re port made public Wednesday by the Federal departments of agriculture. October producers* sales were listed RF. 142,094,665 pounds, and October, 1929 sales as 138,606,781. The service reported season sales to date as 272,132,127 pounds as against 278,175,860 to the same date last year. This year’s crop is esti mated at 539 million pounds, while last year’s was 499 million. In view of the smaller sales this year, Frank Parker, in charge of the State-Fed eral reporting service, observed that farmers were evidently holding their tobacco in the hope of better prices later. Last month^s (price a^e(rag*p^ was $3.08 better than the September average of $11.84, although the rise may have been due in part to better prices. Producers’ sales to date in markets in this immediate vicinity are given as follows: Aberdeen, 2,124,246 pounds; Carthage, 1,629,420; Sanford, 1,850,298 lbs. Average price for the Old Bright Belt, $15.03 as compared with $17.86 for October, 1929.

A Paying Investment “Let us consider a local situation and see how North Carolina has ex panded her expenditures for public education and increased in wealth in the first 27 years following the turn cf the present century. There is a strong feeling on the part of many thinking persons that there is a close relation between investment in edu cation and increase in wealth. The public generally appreciates the other values of education but' has not yet reached the point of, believing that school taxes are an investment on which large returns can be expected. Governor Aycock went into every county in the state in 1900 and with fiery eloquence told the people that if they adopted his recommendations of a state public school system that thiey would within th'3 next decade see a great outburst of industry and commerce in the state. The people be lieved the governor and adopted his program. Ten years later this great educational statesman went before the people again and said that his prediction had come true as literally as had any of the prophecies of the Old Testament. A statement bearing on this subject, which we think proves cur case, was recently given out by the Committee on Public Information of the North Carolina Education As sociation, as follows: “ ‘Since 1900 North Carolina has invested in the education of her chil dren the sum of $300,000,000.00. Had Governor Aycock suggested to the people in 1900 that during the fol lowing twenty-seven years North Carolina would put this much into schools, the people of those days would have believed that such an in vestment would have bankrupt the state. “ ‘Instead of bankrupting the state, however. North Carolina is wealthier than ever before. Let us therefore con sider some of the elements which en ter into the devlopmnt of wealth. Economists say that in the final an alysis there are three things that en ter into the wealth of a community, a state or a nation. These three ele ments are: 1 Natural resources. 2. Racial heritages of a people. 3. Mental training and develop ment. Effect of ISducation “ ‘During the past several hund red years the natural resources of North Carolina have changed very little. Since 1900 they have varied cnly slightly. We have the same land used as farms, the same water flows the courses of the rivers and streams from the mountains to the sea, the same minerals are stored away in our mountains, the same air, sunshine and seasons, the same fishing grounds, harbors and swamps. Likewise there has been little change in the racial heritage of our people. Few immi grants have moved into our state. We have always been largely Anglo-Sax on except for a small percentage of negroes in the eastern part of the state. The population as a whole has about the same characteristics today as in 1900. We were an industrious and conservative people then and are considered so nov/. We were just ^ thrifty then as we are now. There is, therefore, very little variation in these two first elements which make up the wealth of the' state. The only variable element that goes into the wealth of a state or a nation is the menal training of a people—in other words, their education. On the whole that is the only element in our abil ity to produce wealth subject to very great changes in a short time. “‘According to the Blue Book of Southern Progress, which is printed by such a conservative journal as the Manufacturers Record, the total true value of all property in North Caro lina in 1900 was $681,000,000.00, whereas in 1927 it was 5 1-4 billion dollars. This was an increase of 4 1-2 billion dollars. In' twenty-seven years our material wealth in the form of real and personal property had multi plied nearly eight times. Every one knows that this enormous increase in tangible wealth in North Carolina was j riot the result of foreigti capital be ing brought in. North Carolina is a state that is a conspicuous example of development by her own people. During those twenty-seven years we have not brougTit in a new and alien race to help us produce wealth. The first two elements in the ability of North Carolina to produce wealth, therefore, are the same as they were in 1900. The only thing we have changed is the training of our people. As has already been said, during these twenty-seven years, we have invested $300,000,000.00 in our schools. $1000,000,000.00 of this money was for buildings, grounds and equipment, w'hich is a permanent asset and worth more todily, probably, than when we bought it. We have, therefore, put into the operation of our schools, which is the training of our people, $200,000,000.00. Did this investment have any part in an increase in prop erty amounting to 4 1-2 billion dol lars?’” “Finally, the conclusion is that while the private and corporate busi ness enterprises of our state and na tion have expanded steadily and in creased in wealth in the past, and our people have enjoyed the fruits of this prosperity, the extension of univer sal public education to the children of all our people, without regard to race, material or social inheritance, has been the dominant stimulating force back of it all. We are distress ed that the business world is at pres ent suffering a depression which af fects directly or indirectly the major portion of our population. Let us hope that this condition may be temporary. Many reasons for the present situa tion have been forthcoming from the politician, the economist, the banker, the business man, the baker, the butcher and the candlestick maker. One or all may be right, and we hope they are, but the announcement that everyone is most anxious to hear is the location of the road that leads back to normal business. Reassuring an nouncements have been made by many persons in a position to know, and still more reassurances have come from those not in a position to know. None of them seem to be correct. We have not made a diagnosis of the situation, therefore we would not venture a remedy, but we do submit the prop osition that public education has a vital relation to all modem business and the accumulation of material wealth, and the radical retrenchment in investments for public schools at this time will surely aid in delay ing economic recovery. The para mount issue of the day is whether we shall go forward or backward.” Red Cross Roll Call Opens; $1,200 Quota Moore County Chapter Launchejs Annual Campaign For Funds (Continued from page one) Mrs. George Maurice; Hemp, Miss Is abel McLeod; Jackson Springs, Mrs. Herbert Carter; Lakeview, Mrs. Ar thur Newcomb; Manly, Mrs. A.

One of the outstanding things Red Cross has ^.one in Moore county is in looking after World War veterans, as many as twelve trips having been made to aid soldiers in one way or another. Some very needy and pa thetic cases have been brought to the attention of the chapter and have been taken care of. Among the new projects initiated by the Moore County Chapter during the past year is the Motor Corps, or- giinized as an emergency unit to re lieve cases of illness and accident in the county. The volunteers in this branch of the service stand ready to rush off to various parts of the county and carry patients or accident vic tims to the Moore County Hospital for treatment. This is but one of the ser vices rendered and available by the local Red Cross workers. Their char itable accomplishments would make a list too long to publish here. / TEA PARTY AT CHURCH Mrs. Walter Spaeth, assisted by her Sunday School cl^ss, served tea Wed nesday afternoon in the Assembly Room of the Church of Wide Fellow ship.

PUNCTUALITY PROMPTNESS PRECISION In the opening lines of Thanatopis, Bryant says: “To him who in the love of Nature holds communion with her vij^Ie foVms, she speaks a various lan guage.” " “Money talks,” too, and to him who in the love of money holds com munion with her visible form she also speaks a various language. To some she shouts “I am frivolity; lets go places and see things.” To others she declares am power; you and I can make others do our bidding.” And to a few she whispers a sweet message of charity and kindliness, bringing peace and comfort to her possessor. But, alas, to many she sim ply says “Good-bye!” It matters not to which, group you belong, when you have money you must have a place to keep at least some of it where, at a moment’s no tice it will be available for any pur pose, and this bank is here to serve as your depository.
