Friday, October 13, 1933 Use Care With Fire We are putting up heaters and building fires now; and soon the smoke will begin to roll and the fire sirens scream. Waste jwper, fallen soot, old rags, trash, anjj rub bish haw accumulated in many nooks and corner about some homes, which will start a blaze the moment a spark touches them. Before putting fire in o|)en fireplaces or heaters, it is well to see if bricks have fallen in the flues or whether they have been cracked by storms or settling, as many fires come from cracks in Hues and chim neys. We should remember that fire consumes and de stroys if not properly handled and we should also remember that more than half (he tires comes Irom careless nes.v Look around and find the places of danger Deaths Lead Injuries Only eight people were seriously injured in a half dozen auto wrecks last Sunday, while nine were killed good and dead—such is the record found on one |>age of a state paper Monday morning. Several of these wrecks were caused by head-on collisions. Why don't folks stay on their own side of the road? Nothing was said about whether there was any liquor in any of the cases or not. Those who have closely observed say a sober man can see straighter than a drunken man, and when rhen run cars head on in one another. Something must be wrong, or else somebody is guilty of criminal carelessness. More Important Matters There seems to be considerable rumbling among lots of the politicians because the President doesn't give them all offices. Well, Mr. President, that is fine; and certainly a matter of far less concern than the other matters that are before you daily, , The rank and file of the people are commending you for your efforts in trying to help bring prosperity and provide the idle millions with jobs. - (Jnly a few hungry politicians are concerned over offices. N Forgotten Promises One of the most detrimental things that happens to good government is lawmakers changing their minds after their election and just before they vote. Surely, somebody knows how to fix them. It is said that there are several methods of approach to many lawmakers. His vanity, his ignorance, and his love for money are all mighty strong in their ap peal to men. We are glad to say a few people escape them all. For some cause, "office" is so appealing to most legislators that when once in they give most of their time and thought trying to keep in. They buy up in fltfence by their power to give official favors, and many of them almost forget the interests of the peo ple and. promises to them. Write Your Congressmen It is rumored that the government does not expect to make seed loans to farmers in 1934, which, in our opinion, would work a great hardship to the farmers of the country. About 775 loans of this type were made to Martin County farmers last spring, which enabled farmers of every type to produce a crop. No security or en dorsement was demanded of any one. The only thing was a claim on the prospective crops, even from the poorer type of farmers. Every indication now points to almost a 100 per cent collection of these loans. Every borrower should write to his Congressman and Senator, urging them to get a law through the next Congress to continue this class of service by the government, which, in our opinion, is by far the most valuable type of service the government has rendered for years, and a service the farmer is going to need again. It helps hundreds to make a good living for themselves and families who otherwise would have been forced to ga w charity for food and clothing. Farmers, demand of your lawmakers loons again not yew, „w 1' Hard To Build Up—Easy To Tear Down R. R. Clark, in his column of comment in the Greensboro Daily News, says that practically all the slang words and expressions have come from the slums and underworld, which, no doubt, is true. The strange thing is why will intelligent and refined people fall for that kind of stuff? It seems so much easier to lower the standard* of society than it does to raise them. People will accept questionable things just like ducks will take to water; but when you attempt to raise them to the level that all thoughtful parents and friends would have them attain, it just takes hard work, requiring all the forces of home teaching, the public school, the church, and all civic contacts with which they may be surrounded. It will take a long time to produce a perfect race. Returning Big Dividends If you don't like to pay taxes, please change your mind and loosen up just a bit on the little pittance that goes public health, which has helped to save thousands in our state every year from untimely deaths. Only four people are now dying from tuberculosis, where 10 died 20 years ago—all because of the few |H*nnies of tax paid to that department of our state government. Doesn't Know His Snakes Young Rockefeller evidently doesn't know much about snakes. In outlining his theory for liquor control, he says the thing to do is to focus all of the forces of society on the development of self-control and temperance in the use of alcoholic beverages. Well, that would be fine if it could be done. But he evidently doesn't know his alcohol, for it is a habit forming drug, and the manufacturers of it have no notion of surrendering their rights to manufacture it. Mr. Rockefeller will be fighting a losing game when he tries to teach temperance in the face of and against the influence of alcohol manufacturers. Where there is liquor, there will be drunkenness, and the more liquor the more drunkenness. Somebody has told Mr. Rockefeller if the country goes wet and liquor is legalized, it will save the Stan dard Oil Company some tax. Unfortunately, how ever, they forgot to tell him that if he is saved some tax somebody else will have to pay the tax plus the cost of the liquor, and that it will not strengthen their power of self-control nor increase their desire for tem perance. Tomorrow and Tomorrow Sews and Observer. The flue-cured tobacco agreement by which grow ers were to be guaranteed a parity prict of 17 cents a pound is not yet signed. So far as any definite news from Washington goes, it is still in the same status that it was weeks and weeks ago, when tobacco growers were falling over each other to sign a contract to reduce their acreage next year. As parties of the second part, the tobacco growers signed. They were under the impression that the parties of the first part, the manufacturers, would pay the government parity price of 17 cents a pound this year. I'hey thought that the only thing in the way was the possibility of a bigger crop next year. I'rompt signing of thousands of contracts removed that pos- sibility. Then came the #reat conference in Washington Day after day, week after week, the same news has come out of Washington. One day it has been that tobacco manufacturers would not consent to the pro vision by which the government retained the right to license manufacturers. Another day it was that the manufacturers demanded the right to raise the price o(, cigarettes. And so on and so on. - Now has come the period in which the agreement is passing from official to official. From Washington comes news that it is in the hands of the President. That is supposed to mean action. But nobody can be certain about anything. r The only thing that is ac tually certain is that "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time." NOTE.—Since the above was written the leaven has worked and 17 cents has been agreed on, thanks to the Government. A Sad Commentary Sampson Independent It is indeed a sad commentary on the educational conditions in this state, when men educated and well equipped for the teaching profession are forced to give tip their chusen work because they feel that work a long other lines affords "more stability and security for their families" and yet such is the case with num bers of men in the teaching profession this year. Mr. Charles Phillips, of Greensboro, followed the lead of several school principals in Durham,, High Point, Concord, and Winston-Salem, and gave up the principalship of the senior high school in Greensboro this week to become an employee in the Blue Bell Overall Company, not because he was a failure as a teacher, for he was rated one of the state's best, nor because he did not like his work, for it was his chosen and.beloved profession. The only reason why Mr. Phillips gave up his beloved work was because he found greater "safety and security for his fam ily." A man has to consider a means of livelihood for his family, as also the "security" of knowing that he will not be "kicked out" of a job when he grows older. If such conditions remain in the state, numbers of others will be forced to take the same action as Mr. Phillip*. Conditions that force such action -are indeed a sad commentary on the educational conditions here. THE ENTERPRISE THE LETTER-BOX f To the editor: To my. mind, the i funniest people in this country today are not the comedians who charge us ' exorbitant prices to see their acts, but I the free performers—those "person ally dry" men and women who are ! so ardently struggling to move heaven j and earth in an effort to repeal the I eighteenth amendment. I think I see 1 signs that our good old American in ; stitution, the horse laugh, is now a bout to be turned on these "free-for | all" actors. If they like their "toddy," I so well they just can't get along with | out it, why don't they frankly say so, 1 and stop this pretending that they are [ philanthropists, working for the eter- I nal good of mankind?
