Tuesday, May 15,1934 Supporting the Orphans When a community can contribute only $J7.50 for an orphanage class concert, that humanity might be cared for, the prospects certainly can't be bright for raising at least $1,000 to help support a baseball team in that community. Probably the small contribution does not reflect a true condition of the community's material wealth. Probably it just proves we are more interested in baseball than we are in helpless humanity. And wouldn't it be better if we would even things up a bit, and give the orphans their share and base ball its share. Too many of the sound principles necessary to sane living and happiness have been thrown out of balance by too eager support for those things we could best do with out, and ignoring those things we need more. It is not only in sports that we find this condition. The politician seeks his pay and plays the game of politics with more fervor than he ordinarily does in framing popular and just gov ernment. The school children run to the shows, the ball fields and everywhere else except to their books. And now the country is arguing why it is not |>ermit ted to run to Sunday shows, baseball and to every wherelsf Fxcept the ciiurcTfeirSif SUrtdaJt Too mLit1 It " sugar in the "pleasure diet now will catl for a bttter pill for many later on. Stepping On Too Many Toes We see from the papers the Wake County grand jury failed to get sufficient evidence to indict any body in the Raleigh official family. The outcome is about as could be ex|jected by the people, because it is a mighty big task to get news into the grand jury room in criminal cases when the witness is, too often, equally as guilty as the man he is called to testify against, making him shut up tighter than a clam for fear something might be start ed that will involve him. So the State has a hard time in trying to sdjipress crime. With so few people trying to enforce the laws it leaves most of the crim inal gangs to bottleg, rob, steal, kidnap and kill when ever and wherever they wish. We are just too lax in law enforcement and in the support of the enforcement authorities. More Evidence of New Deal Success Further evidence that "The New Deal" ia going over with a good and honest click ia shown in the postal receipts at the local office. In April of last year the stamp sales amounted to $908.12. In April of this year, the sales went up to $1,504.10, a gain of 76 1-2 percent in one year. You see the people are able to buy stamps under the new deal They were too poor to buy them un til Mr. Roosevelt turned on the heat and smoked Mellon, Morgan and Mills and Company out of com mand of the business of the country. Voters, keep your heads cool and never let that gang get back into the saddle. Navigating the Sea of Life Will they set the sails and tighten the rudder, or will they drift? These are the two questions in the minds of most people as they watch the stream of young men and young women march from the high schools for the last time. When we realize the great distance from childhood to good citizenship, and watch the danger signs along the trail, we are bound to look with much concern over the final outcome of the little bark, the human life of these young folks as they sail the sea of life. No man is permitted to sit in the pilot house and gtttde the smallest ship where life and property are at stake without proper training for the voyage he is to make. Not only is he required to attain the ability to navigate in fair weather, while the sun, moon and Stars may be seen and every lighthouse along the course is visible, but he must know how to guide his ship and locate ihmself when the storm breaks and the seas lash his ship. The same preparation should be required of every young man and woman before they are permitted to take their positions in the state and in their com munities; for, it takes just as much skill to navigate the sea of life as it does a big ocean liner. Too many people fail to pfepare themselves with the proper in struments. They fail in kiowledge and in applica tion of the principles of truth, honesty and justice; they go through life as ignorant followers or as curs ing kickers. Either type is of little value. International Bankers Curse New Deal Some people are foaming at the mouth and cursing the New Deal, the FERA and everything else. It is not the automobile, factories because they haye dou bled their business. It is not the steel plants that are complaining, because they have greatly increased their business. It is not the textile manufacturers? because their business has been helped. It is not the railroads that are cursing the New Deal, for they are well "pleased w^ 4I? 'TnisinessMncceise._ It "7s" riof" The farmer because he has been helped to pay back taxes, to catch up with his interest and farm mort gage payments. The New Deal has enabled him to replenish his wardrobe, buy some new furniture, get a new hat and a new pair of shoes. He has bought more goods for cash this spring than during any cor res|>onding seasan in five years. The laborer is not against the New Deal, for it has given him more worl# at higher prices. Then there is only one class of people dissatisfied with the New Deal and that class is the international bankers' trust. The New Deal has broken the hold of the trust on the throats of the world, and they can't now suck the life's blood from the common peo ple as they did when their combines were functioning. Now, folks, the government can be run for the honest rights of all the people, or it may be run by the gang that has already carried us to the dogs. Take your choice, as you have the right to doy. But remember if you don't look out for yourselves, you will have a hrad road to travel. THE LETTER-BOX PUBLIC DRUNKBNNB5S It suddenly dawned on me the other day that I had made Williamston my home for more than eight years, and had no idea, at all, as to what was th e status on public drunkenness. "That's bad," I said to myself, "but it would be infinitely wofse to stay that way; so, I'm going to find out." So, I set out to inform myself. I thought it would be a simple matter; it turned out to be the most complex sort of thing. Nobody seemed to kpow. And so, I no longer felt So ashamed of myself for not knowing, since those most supposed to know, knew no more about it than I did. In my search for the answer, "What May Be Done About Public Drunk enness on Our Streets?" I naturally went to those persons who handle this end of our public affairs. To be exact, I talked to every one of the town officers; to the county officers; to each member of the town board; to the mayor; and, to a number of of a judge or two. There was no unanimity amongst them on the matter, whatever. There was a very wide divergency of opin ion. What I wanted was one simple fact; I got nothing except from one man. It was most interesting to note some of the answers. One officer asured me that public drunkenness was neither an offense against any town ordinance nor was it i misdemeanor. Another said he had no instructions to do anything about it. ?tfll another one admitted, very frankly, that be jut didn't know. One tried to make me thiak he knew when he didn't. ?^ One city official aaid it war gen erally the idea to give the offender a second chance unlcaa he were dis orderly. Another one aaid ht thought we had been getting on all right. One lawyer got awful ly frank with me and aaid, "If I were to get drunk, my frienda would take me home; but if So and So were to tank up, they'd put him in jail." One official aaid, aimply, he'd never look ed up the town ordinance on public drunkenncaa. A leading lawyer aaid he thinks there's, now no town ordi nance against public drunkenness. One who ought to have known bet ter aaid, "Mere public drunkenness is not generally considered an offense." And son and so on. The conclusion then is this, there fore; that somebody needs to in form us on this point. Soute source should inform, first the officers and officials; and, in way rest of us?the citizens of Williamston. In fact, if there be any town ordi nance at all on public drunkenness. CHARLES H.

LEADERSHIP TMfottaieyefterf^eeuletfAijp rt fit/ctttuwice .FIRESTONE maintain* it* leadership in tire development by producing a new tire for 1934 with a wider tread, flatter contour, deeper non-*kid, greater thickness, and more and tougher rubber, which give* greater non-akid safety, more traction, greater blowqut protection, and more than 50% longer non-skid mileage. * DEEPER NON-SKID GREATER THICKNESS FLATTERand WIDER TREAD MORE and TOUGHER RUBBER MORE TRACTION MORE NON-SKID the New FIRESTONE HIGH SPEED TIRE fw 1934 These achievement! are made practical by the Firestone patentul proceaa of Gum-Dipping, providing greater adhceion between the pliea of .the high stretch cord* and between the Gum-Dipped body of the tire and the tough, massive non-skid tread. It also provides greater strength, longer flexing life, and greater protection against blowouts. Gum-Dipping made it possible for Firestone to design, develop and put on the market the first successful balloon tire in 1923. This tire was the pattern used by all others and completely revolutionized the tire industry and set new standards for the automobile industry. For fourteen years leading race drivers have driven to victory on Firestone tires, built with Gum-Dipped high stretch cords. They have trusted their lives to Firestone Leadership?as they know that the patented Firestone construction features provide them with greater safety ? longer mileage ? and greater blowout protection.
