THE PROl’OSED AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT With the constantly increas ing popularity' of air transport lines as a mode of travel it is welcome news from federal au thorities that we are to be aided in developing our KnolUvood Airport. The time is not far off when great planes will be run ning on regular schedules be tween all the important centers of population in the country, and it is but fitting that r^uch pop ular winter resorts as Pinehurst and Southern Pines should be provided with the necessary equipment to avail themselves of this traffic. That Moore county and our town officials appreciated the importance of this proposed de velopment was evidenced by their prompt action in earmark ing county and town funds to match the government’s, that no stone might be left unturned in availing ourselves of the oppor tunity. It seems that airport de velopment is given a preferred rank in the allocation of federal funds, for the double reason that the country needs more and larger airports and that the work of developing them pro vides employment for unskilled labor. The WPA reports that there are few skilled workers not now returned to the ranks of the employed, but that jobs must be found for many so-call ed common laborers. With 315 families still on relief in this county, a project such as the en larging of the airport should provide food for manvi mouths. From the other standpoint, the future will develop a con stantly increasing demand for airport facilities in a community such as this. We have in the Knollwood Airport today a well- Bermudaed turf, smooth run ways, two small hangars and a gasoline station. But the trend of air traffic development has been toward great ships which carry dozens of persons and which require longer and wider landing lanes than we have at present, and much larger han- W’ith the proposed length ening and widening of our pres ent runways, the construction 6f an adeQUwte hangar for the lar- jffest of the transport planes, and 'proper lighting facilities, there is no reason why the Sandhills shoidd not become a regular stop on scheduled runs of the big air transport companies. This community is to be con gratulated on procuring the nec essary financial aid to literally “put us on the air map.” THE SEARCH FOR A WORLD PEACE PLAN In general the actions of the League of Nations in the Italian- Ethiopian trouble have inspired respect. Whatever the outcome, the mere fact that thare has been a place where nations could meet and discuss the situation, where at least the mechanics of negotiation were provided, has resulted in delay, if nothing more. And delay in certain sit uations can be of vast import ance. In reading of the begin nings of the World War one is shocked at the rapidity with which tr.G nations were swent into the conflict, one declara tion of v/ar following with .nan- iacal speed on the heels of the other. C( rtainhi any form of di plomatic orjanization which can delay such a stampede is com- menc r.ble. Af rt from the League few actu?.! plans to assist the cause of pc"ce have been formulated though enough has been said and v-ritten to pa:ify mankind several times over. Wide differ ences exist between the schools of thought, ranging from the big army-big navy man to the pac ifist cuoting the golden rule. Nevertheless, however different their proposals, the common in terest of such different types is a heartening thing. This month two interesting ar- tides have appeared; one byi a pacifist and socialist, the other by a captain in the army. As may be imagined their articles are representative of two ex tremes of thought, but both state t'he same premise; the need for peace. Both also show simil arities of outlook which might be used as a means of rap- proachment. Of these the most important is the statement that peace cannot be attained so long as pacifism is regarded as a neg ative quality. The soldier, dis claiming any peace plan of his own, offers the Pax Romana as an example of a plan that work ed. The Socialist suggests a world organized to enforce peace. During the Pax Romana, Rome developed her empire spreading prosperity and culture to its farthest limits and, on the whole, governing justly though with an iron hand a, for the most part, contented people. The organized world, as sug gested by the Socialist article, has, in effect, certain similari ties with the rule of Rome. There would be a strong central government empowered to en force the laws affecting all the nations. Sir Samuel Hoare has pointed out the absolute neces sity for a just division of raw materials and colonies. In this article it is suggested that fo- eign trade should be adjusted and each nation contribute what it is best fitted to produce so hat competition between nations as such—a main cause of war— should be eliminated. Briand en visaged an international govern ment having as its police force an international army and navy. This idea is in essence that of our United States, with federal government and federal police force to act in cases outside the jurisdiction of the States. 1 Man is a being endowed with ! reasoning powers. He is here in jthe w’orld in large numbers and I even the confirmed pessimist I must agree that he is bound to try to find some way of surviv ing with a minimum of discom- |fort. That being the case some method will continue to be I sought which will enable him to live at peaf'e with his neighbors. The Romans thought they had found the perfect system. And I for the time being perhaps they I had. The League of Nations is another step in the same search. Organized as it is now with one half the world not included in it, it can hardly hope to accomplish great things. Perhaps it is a be ginning; perhaps it will be scrapped and other systems tried. We may see a Pax Fascist or a Pax Communist. The point is that men, having once begun, will continue the search for a system in w'hich to live their lives with security, with peace. —K. L. B. mark TW AIN’S WAR PRAYER November 30 is the center- ary of Mark Twain’s birth. This comes so near Armistice Day that it may be interesting to read the famous “War Prayer” written by this man who was something more than a humor ist. Though Mark Twain w’as a Confederate soldier, 'his hatred for w’ar mayi be seen in the grim satire of this suggested prayer: “0 Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drowTi the thun der of the guns with the wound ed, WTithing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes w'ith a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their un- i offending widow's with unavail- j ing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little chil- j dren to wander unfriended ! though wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sport of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and de nied it—for our sake^, who adore Thee, _Lord, blast their hopes, blighftheir lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage,, make I heavy their steps, w'ater their |wa’< w'ith their tears, stain the I white snow with the blood of I their wounded feet! We ask of I One who is the spirit of love and {who is the ever faithful refuge and friends of all that are sore beset, and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Grant our prayer, O Lord, and Thine shall be the praise and honor and glory, now and ever. Amen.” Grains of Sand When Doctor Dicltie wrote a verse Confessing his senility. He stirred a tranquil hornet’s nest Mcngst feminine gentility. They grasped for pens, began to write In dactylics trochaical. Denouncing any one who'd dare Call forty-two passeical. Now just a word to aged men: (There’s no fee, Doctor, for the hint)- If you would quarrel with the girls I’d keep the matter out of print. We never knew an insect could be so popular. Our pet Black Widow Spider had so many callers during the past week we came very near putting on ushers and a lecturer. To stem the tide we sent him up to the high school where he is now EX HIBIT A in the laboratory. The first drivers’ license revoked under the new Drivers’ License act has been received by the Division of Highway Safety. It was i.ssued to Boyd Coats, East Laurinburg, who was sentenced for drunken driving. The sentence automatically revokes the license for a period of one year. The license was revoked as of Novem ber 4, four days after the new law became effective. Licenses are being mailed out rapidly, but it is expected to be 10 or 15 days before all can be mailed to ihe approximately 800,000 applicants. Tl’.e law is not being rigid ly enforced until the licenses have been mailed out. By the time this is read, North Car olina will have more licensed automo biles and trucks than were licensed during the peak year of 1929, when the number reached 503,590. The reg istrations were less than 2,000 below the 1929 figure by the middle of last week, and reports for the entire week will show the 1929 figures have been passed. The registration last year was only 471,084 for the entire year. The low figure after the peak was 397,455 in 1932. CARO-GRAPHICS — hy NvrmyJonbs& Hash Johnston DO YOU KNOW YOUR STATE?
