The news columns of The Pi
lot last week carried the an
nouncement of the launching of
the Annual Christmas Seal cam
paign. Now, editoi’ially, we can
not urge too strongly a gener
ous investment the residents
of Moore county and our seas
onal visitors in these little
stamps.
The purchases of these
stamps require a trifling sacri
fice, indeetl, compared with the
benevolent purpose of the mis
sion to which the National Tu
berculosis Association is dedicat
ed. Every intelligent citizen of
ij iddle age is familiar with the
ravages of tuberculosis—an evil
which is not the less pitiless and
devastating because the insid
ious progress of the disease is
not of the sensationally epidem
ic character. Yet relatively few
citizens realize what has been
accomplished in the treatment
and abatement of the tubercu
losis scourge. As the New York
Herald Tribune puts it, “to read
the case records of the associa
tion is to come upon children
saved from infection, needless

“DETOUR AROUND
WAR”
In the current Harpers there
is an article called “Detour
Around War” that should be
read by all those interested in
American neutrality. Its author
is Bennett Champ Clark, Unit
ed States Senator from Missouri.
Senator Clark, with Senator
Nye, introduced the proposals
for neutrality legislation, part
of whicl^ were finally passed at
the la.st session of Congress.
This acl’^rohibits exportation of
munitions to belligerent coun
tries or transportation of the
same by American vessels; it
calls for registration, licensing
of munition-makt*i^-«tul export
ers at all times, and for the re
striction of travel by American
citizens on belligerent ships dur
ing war. The two provisions of
the act which did not pass w^ere:
prohibition of loans and credit
to belligerent nations, and the
inclusion, as contraband, of ma
terials other than munitions.
The present act is merely tem
porary and terminates February
29,1936. Senators Clark and Nye
intend to submit to the new Con
gress convening in January the
entire original bill with the pro
vision that its enaction shall be
mandatory upon the outbreak of
any foreign war.
If avoiding war is the wish of
the majority in this country, the
Clark-Nye resolutions appear to
be the soundest attack on the
problem that has been offered.
They were framed by men who
realized that we were drawn in
to the last w^ar primarily by eco
nomic interests. These interests
were engaged in a huge war
trade with the Allies, particu-

YOUR BIRTHDAY
AND YOUR HOSPITAL
There are several hundred
persons in Southern Pines whose
birthdays never come and go
without a thought on their part
of the Moore County Hospital.
In fact, they aren’t permitted
to forget the hospital on that
yearly occasion. They aren’t
even permitted to forget their
birthdays.
A card comes to them on each
anniversary wishing them many
happy returns of the day. It’s
from the Birthday Club.
An: one may join the Birthday
Club. All that is required is a
pledge to send a contribution for
the hospital each time
the hospital w'ill have to wait.
The Airport, we gather, will
be as fine as any in the coun
try for a community this size.
