A SWEEPING
VICTORY
This is a nation governed by
the will of the majority, ^yhen
its people speak as they did in
Tuesday’s overwhelming choice
of President Franklin D. Roose
velt for a second term as their
chief executive, it should be
conclusive enough for all. The
election is over; let political an
imosities and rancor and par
tisanship be forgotten in whole
hearted support of those for
for whom the ballot has spok-,
en. We’re all Americans, in'
spite of these quadrennial in
terruptions that go with our
system of government and up-
sk our equilibrium in the heat
of battle: we’re back on our
feet again, and we’re behind
vou. Mr. President.
North Carolina continues its
traditiorC-il Democi’atic regime,
and sends to the Governor’s
chair one ably fitted to guide
the destinies of a great state.
It sends to the United States
Senate for a second term one of
that body’s ablest men. Josiah
W. Bailey. This Congi'essional
district will again be represent
ed in the lower house by its
popular Congressman, W'alter
Lambeth.
There were no upsets locally.
The Democratic county nomi
nees sailed merrily into office,
a Board of Commissioners of
proven abilityi after previous
service, all other candidates,
with but two exceptions, return
ed to their desks, the two ex
ceptions being our new’ Repre
sentative in the General ^\s-
semblv, J. Haw'ley Poole of
West End, and Miss Bessie Mc-
Clftskill. chosen Register of
Deeds, both elected for the first
time.
“As for Mr. Roosevelt,” says
the arch-Republican New York
Herald-Tribune, “he has been
once more elected President of
the whole nation. He deserves
the good-w'ill of every loyal
American in every constitution
al undertaking. He has gone
through a test of stamina and
courage that would have brok
en the stoutest heart. For his
bravery there can be only ad
miration and for his health and
success every good wish.
“For a lesser man. such a
popular tribute might well be
the undoing. For President
Roosevelt, who "has' conquered
not once but many times in
great plebiscites, and over a
desperate illness as well, his con
science 'has every right to pre
vail over any other force,
whether springing from his own
ambition or fro mthe ambitions
of those about him.”

NEW 1987 CHEVROLET ON
DISPLAY HERE SATURDAY
Aberdeen, Southern Pines and vlc-|
inlty will g«t their first view, to
morrow of the new 1937 Chevrolet.
It win go on public display at the Mid-
South Motors, Inc. at 8:00 a. m.,
immedlv^tely after /Ijie breakfast
which O. Leon Seymour Is holding at
Batch’s Grill in honor of his organ
ization.
The Breakfast is one of some
10,000 similar affairs being held
thrcughout the country just before
the new models go on view. It was
arranged in acknowledgment of the
unusual cooperation displayed by the
Chevralet dealer employees this past
year. Their emphasis on owner sat
isfaction, Mr. Seymour asserted, hui
been an important factor, npt only In
the year’s sales record, but In the un
paralleled bank cf advance orders
received for 1937 models. An except
ionally large bank of such orders is
on file this year, he said, as a result
of the public’s experience with the
1936 Chevrolet.
Immediately .after the breakfast
the salesrooms will be thrown open,
and an open house atmosphere will
prevail all day. Cars will be deliver
ed to purchasers in the rotation in
which the orders are received, Mr.
Seymour said, adding that the pro
duction in the ten Chevrolet assem
bly plants is now going on at a rate
which assures prompt delivery on
all orders.

PRKPAUE NEW MAP FOLDERS
TO ADVERTISE NO. 1 HUIHWAY
At a special executive committee
meeting of the U. S. No. 1 Highway
As.s")ciation, held recently in South
ern Pines, final plans were approv
ed for the immediate production of
map folders of U. S. 1 in prepara-
children. Under such conditions I them pines wants things changed ticn for the coming wmter resort

have only about one-third the
people it has today.
On the other hand, fai’ming
communities are showing a sur
plus birth rate which during the
period of a century would result
in a population double their pre
sent numbers.
The decline in the birth rate
has been in evidence for more
than a century. Until the Civil
War, population in the United
States doubled every quarter
century.
If this rate of increase had
continued population today
would total more than the
number which President Lin
coln forecast, 250,000,000.
The number of births in this
'country reached a peak in 1921
j when about 3.000.000 babies
I were born and was maintained
I at nearly this level until 1924.
'At present only about 2,300,000

covery began to appear, was

Another city commissioner, Char
les S. Patch, had it all figured out
on the eve of the election that Lan
don would be overwhelming defeat

ures to arrive at his conclusions. We
suggest that before the next elect
ion, the Digest give up its poll and
hire Charlie.

the many advantages cf taking the
traditional, comfortable U. S. No. 1

teresting centers of history, scenic
beauty and sports are pointed out.
The association consists of mem
bers of civic and business organiza
tions in the points along the highway,
practically every town of any size
being represented.
At the meeting were the associa
tion directors and state vice-presi-
dents, representing 15 states and the
District of Columbia.
A local Republican appeared on
the streets the morning after elect
ion with a finger bandaged.

“I hit it with a hammer crack

BIRTHRATE MAY SOLVE
AMERICA’S PROBLEMS
Two of America's greatest
problems, overproduction and
unemployment, may be auto
matically solved if the present
trend of population continues.
During the decade from 1920
to 1930 there was a population
growth in this country of
17,004,426. At the annual rate
of increase shown for the first
six years of the present decade,
the total population growth for
the period will be under nine
million, or only about one-half
of the preceding ten years. The
population is estimated by the
Census Bureau, to have been
128,429,000 on July 1st, or an
increase of 908,000 over the
proceeding year period.
Under present population
trends it is possible that the Un
ited States may have a declin
ing population as early as 1950.
Population expert. Prof. E. F,
Penrose of the University of
Calfomia estimates that a max
imum population of 142,000,000
will be reached in 1965 after
which there will be a decline of
approximately 4,000,000 in the
subsequent 15 years.

ANOTHER WARNING
TO MOTORISTS
Residents of the Sandhills
should have had enough warn
ing by now not to pick up liitch
hiker.'^ on the highwayjts and
give them rides. The latest
comes in the story on Page 1 of
; this issue of The Pilot, the ex
perience of William Schroeder
of Southern Pines, who be
friended a young man on a re
cent trip north. Result: the
thumber stole his -ar, his
clothes, his money; a Baltimore
policeman lost his life in an en
deavor to apprehend the thief.
A previous example of the
foolishness of picking up strang
ers was the experience of Bur
rell White, Jr., of Pinehurst a
few' years ago. He gave a young
man who hailed him on the
road near Chapel Hill a ride to
ward Durham. In an accident
the stranger lost his life, and
Mr. White w’as held legally re
sponsible.
Hitch-hiking is now illegal in
many states. The new Legisla
ture of North Carolina could
pass no more popular measure
than one banning the practice
here.

Frank Welch, the new owner of the
building located between the Belve
dere and Montesanti's, has so reno
vated the ancient structure that
many of its original owners would
scarcely recognize their one time
headquarters. Once upon a time it
housed the town’s original telephone
office, that of the Tarbell and Taplin
line. Many times a grocery store, be
ginning with Dr. Smith, it was also
tenanted at various times by C. L.
Hayes, Mrs. Hayes, Dr. Blair and E.
