Tuesday, June 30, 1931 Cooperation Is Needed - • It is a fine spirit in the counties' to turn over all of their rof(l machinery to the State. On the other hand, it is a rather far-reaching assumption for the State in demanding and jwssing a law forcing the counties and townships to turn over their road equip ment to the State. While the law was passed by lawyers, it is rather peculiar law that permits the State to take property from any other subdivision that has as much right to own property as the State has. What will be the State's attitude in a case where a county owes debts and has property? Will it l>e so unkind as to take the property and leave the debts on the county? Or will the State say we will take both your good and your bad? Doubtless if any county kicks,"l it will raise a new question, one that the State will probably not be able to sustain. v Yet cooperation is the thing we need, aiul it will be a fine thing for all the counties and townships to help the State in handling the biggest job it has ever tackled. Trading Enthusiasms One North Carolina town wants to trade its baseball enthusiasm for a tobacco market enthusiasm. The chances are that it will not be abli ; to trade. The thing that will block them is that- running a baseball is all play, while building a tobacco market is all .work. The cost is about the same in each case. Editor I'arker, in the Bertu ledger-Advance, states: If Windsor could have got as enthusiastic over cre ating and maintain a growing tobacco market as it evidently is over its baseball team, we would have seen people coming from miles around with loads of tobacco on September 1 to be sold on the local market; just as now we have visitors from other communities coming here to watch our winning ball club perform. Too Many Paroles? We do not complain, yet it is just a bit amusing to see our governmental procedure, in so far as it re lates to our criminal code: First, the people demand |)ersonal and property rights, and to accomplish such rights, they elect law makers to formulate statutes which define crime and grade it into its several definite classes. Then all the forces of government are charged with the respon i bility of detetcing crime and bringing perpetrators to 1 ANNOUNCEMENT! | x'_- ' - . r 1 • .

" ** r, . *' - M I ' g Branch Banking and Trust Company PUILIIHID f IVB* TUMIIAV FIMOAY the bar of justice, where all of both sides of the question are heard by those who know the laws and who are endowed with the qualities of mercy. The question of guilt or innocence is settled, and if guilty, all the forces of sympathy are preserved to the court, from legal reason to weeping tears, i lie sentence i . pronounced on (hat basis, and in the presence of t.ich other. Then the scene changes, and new forces are put into motion. A lot of sympathetic women, who are perhaps more theoretical, than safe, begin to agitate for a parole. Some lawyer is employed. The mat ter of punishment again comes up. The principle of giving the unfortunate another chance is nearly al ways uppermost with all good men. The lawyer presses for the pardon, the reprieve, or the parole, and the prisoner is freed again, at least in part. While we do not object to mercy, we do wonder if the various branches of our government are keeping faith with each others, and if human rights are safely guarded when we have too many paroles. J} Half of the Year Is Gone The year is just now passing the half-way turn, and we will soon be passing down the closing stretch of 1931. Have we all done our duty toward banishing hard times? We fear there are still too many ldafers and whiners roaming around, hoping and expecting good seats in the bread line next winter. To all such, a warning should be given that work will be scarce and jobs few during the coming winter. Our*country will still take care of its sick and un fortunate, regardless of what happens. But the big loafer will find it different. The eyes of his neighbor are on him, and he need noti expect to be a fruitful beggar again when cold weather comes. He should re member it is his duty to do like most people are do ing—strive to lay up a little soriiething for emer gencies. There is plenty of land in this country to feed all the folks, and the easiest thing to do to make sure of success is to find a little piece and raise Something to eat. Remember, the work-dodger will not be a popular man in the bread line. . The Ocean Narrows When Lindbergh flew the ocean alone in his, plane, "The Spirit of St. Louis," the world marveled, and it was wonderful enough to make the cold chills,creep up and down a fellow's back to think of the millions of dangers that he faced. Now, we are getting to the point where we no longer look at the ocean as being so dark, wide,'and deep as we did when Lindbergh made the first flight, and folks are dashing across frequently, with appar ently little dread. And it is quite possible that in a few short years we may be going across in flocks, ju-»t as birds are now Hying acros narrow rivers. Hut will it all pay? We are throwing away bil lions trying to get to places quickly, and then doing nothing after we get there. It would be a grand and glorious thing if the human mind could steady itself and lead us in quiet, sober paths, where our nerves could rest a while, and our hands find time to work, rather than keep us in a wild, mad rush that costs much and pays little. , It looks like we are fools enough to destroy hap piness trying to find it. A Nation of Superlatives America has more money, more wheat,tnore cot ton, more tobacco, more corn, more hogs, horses and cows, more railroads, more electric power, more coal, more iron, and' more hunger than any other nation. This is because we have more greed than any other ocuntry. We also have more boasting and less shame than we should. THE ENTERPRISE OLD FORT TAKES CARE OF NEEDY] BY COOPERATION Hack in Febrr .iy, 1931, workers in ti.i industrial sectiort of Old Fort, up 1 in McDowell County, were out of work, in want, and in many cases were on the verge of starvation, due to the financial depression, the closing down of industries in their vicinity, and the drought and low prices and wages. In fact, tl* situation was very serious ; id i tlfi.ig beyond the capacity of lo cal relief workers. Today, all of that has been changed. These people are happy, at work, full of optimism and on the way to a real come-back. They have plenty of food, gardens spot the town in every direc tion; and every one is planning to can, preserve, and dry vegetables and fruits during this summer and fall so that, regardless of whether the industries of Old Fort operate on full or part time or close up, nobody will lack for food. They have taken the "live-at home" program seriously and have ex ecuted it to the full. When (leaders in that community saw that they were unable to cope longer with the situation, the Red Cross and workers of the Governor's Council- on and Re lief were called in. Local committees were organized and the work was ex tended and increased in scope. Mrs. Mary Camp Sjirinkle, of the Gover nor's Council, paid the town a visit, suggested certain methods, including the immediate survey of the whole community. Possible employers of la bor in and about that section cjf the Stale were contacted. And a few short weeks later, the whole situation had changed. Groups of town women were or ganized, under the supervision of a local committee of business men and women, and these groups made a de tailed survey of the situation in a ' very short time. S. P. Smithey, sup-| erintendent of schools and chairman | of the local Red Cross committee, head cd this work. The survey showed that the tannery and tanic acid plant had begun to lay off workers on Noveni- Iber Ist and by January 30th had closed down completely. Local agencies had 'strained their resources in an attempt pjo relieve suffering and want. Of finals and supervisors in the industries 'of the town had helped as much as they could from personal funds, un jtil these moneys were exhausted, t oal >itud wood were supplied for sortie, j families by the tatm ry management. | 'Hilt as wages had been low, niattyj I families had hem unable to build up, I any money reserve 1 *>r such a situation, i jlTfsurance and small savings had bee t .spent; many families were without any food and could not get Cridit at gro . eery, stores, as they had carried many j las long as they could do so; drug! store* were unable to fill prescriptions, any longer on credit; an I Dr. 1).

Some of th« workers, who lived without the! city, on farms, were in ' a position to get garden feed and other relief from the Red Cnts,. but in the tow* the 1 situation was far different. The local Red Cross and relief workers, how ever, on completion of the survey, sort ed out the data and began taking care of the ones most in need, while other plans were pushed rapidly to obtain work for the men who were out of work. Local committees were sent to interview men who had control of the letting of road contracts and other projects. Contacts were made which brought results. M. A. Mattoon, of the Mount.Pu gah National Forest Service, in Ashe ville, promised to do what he could, and divert money to the building of trails in the park, so as to employ 'some of the Old Fort men. He did, | thanks to the cooperation of the Wash -1 ington office and Congressman Prit -1 chard and Senator Morrison, who were ' contacted by the Old Fort committee. ' Two highway contractors who were rebuilding stretches on No. 10, in and about Marion and Old Fort, cooperat ed quickly and asked for lists of avail able workers. The Old Fort commit tee furnished the lists. In fact, prac tically every appeal resulted in the furnishing of work for these people. ! With the survey completed, case* were listed according to necessity. Loans for World War veterans were pushed through the Charlotte office of the Veterans' Bureau. / Loans were 'obtained from the Federal Farm Board for many; and from the Red Cross fori others. The credit situation in Old' Fort was relieved, as merchants knew 'that, with men at work, they would 'get paid and local bankers promised backing. Garden seed -was supplied to jail; food to those actually in need; medical supplies were obtained; and the community began to march for 'ward to beter times. Meanwhile, the tannery and tanic acid plant planned to reopen. Throughout this period the community had the complete co- I operation of Miss Pearl Weaver, field representative of the Red Cross, who worked intelligently and eagerly with the local committee. By March 11, the situation had changed miraculously. Dr. Mcintosh depicted it in these words: *" f lt is niy i pinion that all of these in dire need are being taken care of, and, with-the tannery getting ready ti open next Monday, and with relief being given by the Red Cross, and those receiving payments on their bonus certificates, and with aid furnish ' i d by the local people, there are none ! in actual want." Credit for the fine work done Hi Old Fort .rightfully goes to the local com mittee of met! and women, who actu ally did the work of bringing their community back, according to -work ers who took part in the program. The job was not a small one, but it was done well and speedily, and in this way, Old Fort people have eliminated a situation that was injuring the prog ress of their entire community. Old Fort is today back on the map, with her industries running, her people happy, and at work, Cooperation turned the trick. New British Automobile Is Introduced Recently What is heralded as "Britain's great thalknge for th motor trade of th: woA" has been introduced to the Brit ish public in a formal presentation at the Albert Hall in London, according to British trade information received in the Department of Commerce. The car is the new so-called "Wix ard" product of th? Humber-Hi lman- Commer combine. For weeks th's new model was publicized as a . "mystery car," and its production was one of the most closely guarded' secreis of the British automobile industry. Chilean Government In Control of Gold Mines To prevent wild-cat speculation and encourage legitimate investment in such worth-while gold properties as may exist within the country, the Gov ernment of Chile recently enacted a decree with force of law which would close to private entities those gold producing regions which offer pros pects of successful working, pending a careful survey by Government mining engineers, according to a report receiv ed in the Commerce Department from Commercial Attache Ralph H. Acker man at Santiago. FOR SALE: 1,500 BUNDLES NICE bright fodder, also some- corn. Luther Hardison, Jamesville, N.
