June 25. 1935 Clay Williams* Attitude And so Clay Williams is- aga inst the government s tobacco program. We all know his reason is that his company and its allied interests do not want anything in the way when they want to run over the farmer and take his crop a' their own price. Mr Williams must have won his points in our North Carolina legislature. Perhaps the sworn statements of the large sums they paid their lobbyists answer the question. They won. anyway Now. Mr. Williams wants to destroy the power at Washington which has helped the tohacen growers^ttf the country.? With whom will you take your stand!' With a few tobacco companies which have made many millions, at least ten times more than was fair and legitimate, while thousands upon thousands of men, women, and children have gone hungry, ragged, and suffered back aches and heartaches, worked night and day, most of the time without any profit? Frankly, we are with the jieople and dead against Mr. Williams and his policies, because they have not been fair in the past, ?ami we refuse to trust them in tire future. > v. Another Puzzling Question And now another puzzling question arises, which we frankly admit we are unable to decide. That is, whether to make Currituck sound a salt or a fresh water b<?d\ It i> by nature a body of fresh water, making it one of the finest duck-hunting waters in the world on ac count of the wild celery which grows on the bot tom and upon which the ducks and geese from the northland come to feed in winter However, more recently, since the Albemarle anil Chesa|>eakc Canal has become a |>art of the Inland "Waterway, which drains the waters from the ICliza1 beth River, the salt is killing the celery and the ducks are \viihoui feeding grounds. But the salt water is bringing crabs in by the tons, and the contest is be tween the ducker and the crabber, which brings the matter squarely up to us folks who cannot tell which dish we like 4>est. duck or crab. We must choose whether to side with the crab industry around Norfolk or with our own Bruce Ktheridge, who has charge of our tish and fowl industry as the head of our de|>art ment of conservation and development. Japan's Attitude We know of no war in history so mean and low as that Ja|>an is waiting against China at the present time. Fore some time, Japan has been going over to China forcing the Chinese officers to resign and putting such persons as they wished in their places and then prac tically grabbing a slice of the country the sitte of one or two of our American States in the name of their puppet officials. The vital question* is What shall we do to check thar kind of procedure? It is a well known fact that Japan has just as strong a ilesire for California as she has for China. The big trouble will come when Japan has had time to absorb China and put her to work to feed the Japs, giving them the opportunity of building up the most power ful fighting machine in the world. Then it will be dangerous to fly the American flag, the English Union Jack, or any other kind of cloth in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Our only danger of foreign war is with Japan. Some thing should be done, but when we start to say some thing. the Japs throw it up to us "about stealing our land from the poor Indians, all except the land em braced in the I-ouisiana purchase. Alaska, and Texas ?t part of which they charge lit with stealing from Mexico. When England and France or Germany make a suggestion about fair play, the Jap says, "Oh, well, all you have you took by unfair trading or by cruel force. You gobbled up Africa, much of South America, and practically all of the islands of the sea." Of course, we all stand convicted of most of the alle gallons Yet that does not solve the question. J*P?" must be suppressed, or the world will have to bow the knee to Japan not so many centuries hence, unless?as has happened frequently in the past?they perish from their own greed It might be the proper thing to whip Japan immed iitely. . Federal Housing Program Fftf ynf| p|f| properties all over America have been steadily go ing down hill. Many property owners have been un able to pay for normal upkeep and repairs. A far greater number have delayed the larger improvements which mean better bousing and better living. Now is the time to make those improvements. The National Housing Act was designed to help imfSFove property and increase its value and usefulness. Thru one of the simplest and most reasonable systems of financing ever devised, the act makes it possible in make delayed repairs and provide better home sur roundings. This program is unique in that it sets up a condition whereby private finance and enterprise can resume their normal functions in every community, with a feeling of complete assurance as to safety, liquidity, and. reasonable profit. The government will make no direct loans. The value of the program lies in the fact that it provides the means of profitable use of the enourmous amount of funds now available in practi cally every bank in the nation. Magnetism and Power President Roosevelt is evidently a man of great magnetism. Any man who tan make Huey I-ong and Senator Borah take off their hats and eat out of his hand is evidently a man of |>ower And any man who tan lomril two as?? indrpemhin -oul- a;. Bong and Borah must have magnetism. It was not the force of fear he used, because they are not the type of men that you can scare. It is the power of truth and justice. The [teople need to stick to the President. M<ist of his critics have sel fish motives. Needed Protection The increase in number of state highway patrol men and the more rigid enforcement of the speeding clauses of the law should undoubtedly lower the death rate in auto accidents in this state. Also, the licens ing of drivers should help, too. It is good that the state has provided even that much protection. A Long Time II will be in the year 1980?45 years hence?be fore Harmon M. Waley. one of the kidnappers of the Weyerhauser boy, son of the wealthy lumberman in Tacuma, Wash., will be free again. Not only does his 45-Vear sentence bar turoJrom the pleasure of using his ransom money, but it has gone further and divorced him from his young wife also for ,|5 years. We have always heard that love never dies, yet we wonder if it will not grow a bit cold in the term of 45 years. At any rate, it will be a long time for the transgressing husband. And, too, his young wife. who. it seems, is no less guilty, has not yet faced the court. and she may have to take a prison vacation alio. ? ?-? Easier To Find Jobs S'oung men graduating front oil lege this year find it mm li easier to find jobs than for some years. It shows things are better in the business world. Don't forget these things when the politicians begin to howl. Be Thankful for the Weather Many |>eople have panted and declared this to- be the hottest weather they ever saw in June, yet not one in a thousand can tell whether it is as hot as it was last June or not. I'erhaps all of us who were born |>rior to lajt June have seen it just as hot. Even if it is hot, why should we complain. We, for tiie most part, make our living in hot weather. We fill our barns and storehouses when it is hot to carry us through the cold gloomy winter months. As for our part, we had rather see a |>erson move to a climate they do like rather than to fuss and fume at the weather where they are. _ Let us be thankful for the weather and the blessings its brings.. Human Values Elkin Tribune When news men asked I'resident R'msevelt what is the social objectives of the administration he replied that be covets the cooperation of the |>eople in trying to increase the security and happiness oi a larger nuni Iter of people in all occupations of life and in all parts of the country; to give them more of ihe good things of life; to give them a greater distribution, not only of wealth in narrow terms, but wealth in the wider terms; to give them places to go in summer lime? recreation; to give them assurance that they are not going to starve in their old age; to give honest busi ness a chance to go ahead and make a reasonable profit, and to give every one a chance to make a liv ing. That is a worthy ambition, and what is more Presi dent Roosvelt *is not merely giving lip-service to this ideal; there are abundant evidences that he has been striving to this end, although through the fabric of the social program there are threads, not entirely in har mony with the' whole. But these he would pluck out and throw away. The relief program, inaugurated in emergency, ad mittedly has encouraged dependence on government, and discouraged individual thrift. But in the deter mination to make federal relief condition upon work, this would largely he corrected. The President's appraisal of the importance of hu man values may seem like radicalism to some, but the objective that he subscribes to is one that even tually AnArka must adopt if this nation it to hold its high place in the world. \july or August Best Time For Cultivating AHaUa Cultivation of alfalfa is often of very little value except under certain conditions. When the stand is thin and crab grass comes in late in the ounimer, the crop may be cvhivaled during July or August. This will de stroy much of the grass. If any cul tivation is done it should be ma<k immediately after a cutting. A spring tooth alfalfa harrow is the best im i plement for this work, lu no case should a disc harrow be used as it ' splits the crown and renders the | plants more susceptible to | jand freezing.

Elber^S^JPeel^kttornej^ YOU ALWAYS GET TIKfcS may look alike on the outside, but on the inside where blowouts start, they are different. Firestone Tires are made blowout-proof by Gum Dipping, a patented extra process which soaks every cotton cord and insulates every strand with pure liquid rubber. In fact, every 100 pounds of cotton cords absorb eight additional pounds of liquid rubber. This special process prevents internal friction and heat, the main cause of blowouts. No other make of tire is Gum-Dipped, yet you pay.no more for Firestone blowout-proof protection thap you are asked to pay for tires built without this patented safety construction feature. The make of tires you buy for your car becomes a matter of vital importance when you realize that there were 882,000 automobile accidents in 1934 injuring 934,000 people and killing 36,000 and that 43,000 of these accidents were caused by blowouts, punctures and skidding. Firestone High Speed Gum-Dipped Tires hold all world records on road and track for safety, speed, mileage and endurance. These records emphasize the undisputed evidence that Firestone Tires are not only blowout-proof but give greatest protection against skidding. THERE ARE THREE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS THAT WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM. OF WHAT TIRES TO BUY 1"Will the tread give me the greatest traction and brotection against skidding? protection against skiddingI Recent tests by a leading University show that Firestone High Speed Non-Skid Tires stop a car 15% quicker than any other of the leading makes. For eight consecutive years Firestone Tires have been o eight consecutive years Firestone Tires have been on the winning car in the dangerous Pike's Peak Race where a skid means death.This is undisputed evidence that Firestone gives car owners greatest protection against skidding. O "Are they blowout-proofV* Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires have the most amazing records for being blowout-proof of any tires ever built. In the gruelling 500-Mile Race at Indianapolis, May 30th, every one of the 33 cars was equipped with Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires. Kelly Petillo won the race and broke the record over this 26-year-old rough brick track without tire trouble?in fact, not one of the 33 drivers had tire trouble of any kind. Ab Jenkins drove his 5,000 pound car en Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires over the hot salt beds of Utah, 3,000 miles in 23V4 hours, at an average speed of 127.2 miles per hour, with temperatures as high as 120", without tire trouble of any kind. These are most amaiing proofs of blowout protection ever known. 3 "Without sacrificing these two important safety features will they give me longer mileage, thus making them the most economical tires I can buyV Firestone High Speed Tires not only give you more than 50% longer wear, " but also lowest cost per mile. This is made possible by the tough, wear-resisting tread built with higher shoulders and a wider,flatter contour.This thick, rugged, scientifically designed tread is held securely to the Gum-Dipped cord body by Firestone's patented construction of two extra layers of cords under the tread. This is a special construction feature not used in any other tire. Unequaled mileage records by thousands of car owners add undisputed evidence of the longer wear and greater economy of Firestone High Speed Tires.
