Friday, August 28, 1931 Athletic Costs in Schools The useless and worthless things rather than the good things v>e do or we should do, are the principal cause for family, neighborhood, town and city rivalry and hatred. Perhaps nothing will so roil and array one neighbor against another and town against town as will inter-school athletics. One of the single fool ish expenditures and time-wasting practices followed by our sch nils in the past was advanced in their ath letic programs. We are nift referring to physical cul ture and boili.y training, but we jwiint to habit of hiring some physical-foYce man to teach our boys how to run over other bovs and cripple them, and to teach our girls rough practiced of play unbecoming to them. When two school teams conic together in a baseball game, the fans on the losing side g»> away mad. Such is not the case when teams meet to contest in selling, singing or any, other of those thing> that build up. We' have counties in our own State that are not friendly because of athletic rivalry. We have sections •in our own county that are not on good terms be cause of atheltic rivalry that has cost the- parents large sums of money. Men, whose homes and farms are being sold to pay school taxes should rise up in amis against • inlet-ath letic games in schools and colleges. The University should be the very first, plate tn apply the cut and from there on down to every public tax supported school in the State. When it conies to finding places where cuts can be made in our schools without hurting their efficiency, let the authorities dwell on athletic costs. A Good Name _____ Robert E. Lee was one of the world's greatest gen erals, as well as one of America's foremost citizens. Luke Lea Ix'e) has proven to be a big manipulator, while Kd Hugh Lee has admitted he was a great tax gatherer. It is a pity to see an honorable name dragged in the mire, and yet it seems that some people lose sight of the value of a good name and sell theirs for song, forgetting that "a good name is rather to be chosen than great liches." " ■RoWrt~-fe: Lef "irfust'iT trvperntit his name ItTW used to boost any questionable business. He died respected by all men, and loved by most men. Luke Lea served the great State of Tennessee in the United States Senate, a good man and highly respected. He resigned to enter the war against Get many. He returned to his State, entered the com mercial field, sold his honor, and lost his fortune. Then followed Hugh Lee, the Raleigh tax collector, a fine character, but not able to handle somebody else's money over a long period and maintain his honor. The moral is that as low-down a thing as politics sometimes get to be, and as dangerous as war is, still "the love of money seems to be the root of all evil." Drug Store Curb Service Mecklenburg Times. A fewjnonths ago the town of Monroe passed a law prohibiting curb service at the drug stores in that city. This has attracted quite a bit of comment by the newspapers of the State, as well as the citizens of many places. * The Gestonia Gazette says, "If there is anything more distracting or more raucous than to hear the ear-splitting, strident, impudent tooting of an auto mobile horn from some shiek as he and his sheba sit at the curb in their roadster and demand service from the stare, we do not know what it is." Now the city fathers of Elkin are thinking of pass ing the same kind of ordinance that Monroe has. About this the Winston-Saltm Sentinel says, "Once upon a time a man and a miss would walk a mile for an ice cream 'sody.' The modern Romeo and his Juliet must have theirs brought to them 'pretty pron to' as they 101 l in their automobiles. In the smaller towns, where the business is centered about one to five blocks, the drug store is usually the moat congested part of the town. IV curb serv ice which allows people to sit in cars lor some time" while they are served forms a traffic problem that is tori In vvai i laia, especially if the corner happens to be oe om of the State highways, as they often are. Prospects for the Poor This Winter What is the prospect for the poor this winter? is a very perplexing problem, and one that must be met frankly. For this section, every indication points to a bet ter winter than last for all those fellows who want j to work. The neighboring farmer will have more food than last year and will be able to feed the man who l is willing to work, and his family, too. But things do not look so bright for the lazy sluggard who has never been willing to work for his living, and he will find it hard again this winter. The public has been watching closer than ever before and has sorted out the worthy from the unworthy. Every neighborhood should look into the matter of the de|>endents of the community, and help them to find something. In nearly every section, some may IK- "found who are incapable of making a living without the advice of some one else. We ought to help such people. There are many ways in which they may be able to lay up food for winter use. Guaranteed Employment Rocky Mount Telegram. No announcement in recent months has been quite so significant as the interest of the greater industries of the country in guaranteed employment. The appli cation of this plan will stabilize employment to a than has been hoped for in this period of depression. Furthermore, the substitution of the five-day week will open new fields for the worker, aid in absorbing a large share of unemployment, and will include a feeling of certainty where at present dread and misgiving are felt on all sides. Under the plan, industries which join in the move ment will guarantee workers steady employment for a specified long period, it has been outlined. Labor has adopted this as a permanent program, and it is reported to be gaining in favor, with the larger indus tries. If it is adopted, it can be but a matter of time until practically all significant industries will have to follow the leadership of the industries which are act ing as pioneers in the movement. Two direct and important advantages will follow: First, the worker will be certain that he can maintain his job without worry, and he will be willing to spend freely, thus assuring greater circulation of money, greater consumption of goods and a steadier demand; second, business will be forced, in order to maintain its part of the agreement, to keep a closer check upon production and avoid in the future needless manu facturing beyond the demands of the time. In order that the employer may live up-to his contract, it will be necessary that a greater degree of cooperation be tween industries be develo|M-d. Foreign commerce, requiring a change in the tariff policy of the present administration will hav to be developed to a still greater extent than heretofore. Without any question, the announcement of a wil lingness on the part of employers to guarantee jobs fur their workers is the most significant development of the generation in the relationship existing between capital and labor, and the results will be far more reaching than it is possible to imagine. Such a con dition will assure a greater steadying influence'in business and a degree of comfort among working classes not heretofore enjoyed. While the proposal is a long way from actual reali zation, at the same time the mere fact that it has gained favor with industries is exceedingly encourag ing. The stabilization of labor is a long way off, but the |x>ssibilit ies of the future are greater and more brilliant. .who has devoted a Urge part of his life to an industry, whatever may be his status, should not be cut off a payroll and reduced to idleness with out recotn|H'nse. This has not been the case in the past. More interest has been given to the payment of dividnds than to the welfare of the worker in cer- tain industries. That is, of course, not fair, for the laborer is entitled under any consideration to the priv ilege of earning his own livelihood. We may expect, now that the ice has been broken, greater emphasis on the new ideas, in employment. Chief Reason for Growing Surplus Mnkltnburg Times. The |>rophets continue to inform us that prosperity is "just around the corner" and we all continue to hope their predictions will come true. We believe that better times are sure to arrive, sooner or later, and w would much prefer sooner. But there must be some changes before real prosperity makes its return. There can be no nation-wide prosperity until the farm ers can realize' a profit on their expenditures and la bors. and we can see no hope for high prices for farm produce until the millions of idle people secure work and at wages which will enable them to purchase more freely of the necessities of life. We hear much talk about a surplus of this and a surplus of that, as applies to the things produced on the American farms. It is true that with the im proved methods of farming, the harvest is more a bundant than in former years, and it is also true hat the population of the world is increasing all the while. Our belief is that the greatest and chief reason for the increasing surplus of food crops and cotton of late years is the fact that so many people are out of profit able employment, while many of those employed are not getting enough for their labors to enable them to purchase the actual needs of themselves and families. This reflects itself in every phase of business life, and until some plan is worked out, or developed within it self, whereby the, idle millions can find employment at reasonable wages, there wilt continue to be a sur* plus and that means low prices.
