November 19. 1935 What It Takes To Make a Man Some writer- seen) to think that it is much hardet to make a real man now than it was a century ago. assigi iaa a- the reason that it is harder to find good boys to make men cut of, which is a great essential Abraham Lincoln was willing to work hard to make an honest living ant! more than that, he was willing to work hard to improve himself. Garfield worked to support himself and his niother while he was a boy in his teens. He worked to educate and fit himself to occupy the highest office in his country. Many others have done likewise. But are we mak ing this type of men now ? Is the boy of today will ing to pay the price in honest hard work, necessary to make the foundation for a good man? Who wants you today, young man? If it is fur a job of bookkeeping, can you multiply and divide; do you know anything about fractions; in other words, have you pre|rared yourself through hard work to do the work and have you shown yourself worthy to be trusted- Or have -you taken up your time so frivol ously that yousfhink more of ball contests than you do of the business entrusted to you? Is it a sad thing to see how little the average good business man thinks of the boy of today. He is afraid to trust the youth with important business details and is often afraid to trust them with money because so many have shown themselves dishonest. The boy wh > has many duties and more, work and responsibilities has a much better iltance to do well in life than the hot-house, late-sleeping type, who do nothing except "laze around and eat rich gravy and shuns obliga tions We ma\ ex|>ect fewer great men in the future than we have^fad in the past, l oo few of us form a definite purpose in our hearts and stick "to it while we are young; we unbalance our minds by cultivating the physical to the neglect of the mental and moral ele ments. And it takes them all to make a man. The New Deal Poll The Literary Digest is again polling 10,000,000 American citizens as to how they stand on the New Deal question. If one reads the trust-owned magazines, filled with their own writings, he will probably lie inclined to say no. But if we take a correct inventory of the country now and conuiare it with conditions existing at the end of the Old Deal Hoover regime, when all the banks of the country were closed as a result of unbalanced wealth distribution and corruption, we would vote yes. Also look back at your own debts, those of your neighbors, and the bankruptcies of every kind that were prevalent in 1930, 1931, and early 1932 from Maine to Texas and in every other part of our country -and then reflect how the New Deal has saved the banks, saved the railroads from receiver ship, and the whole country from general collapse Then look at the general appearance of the |>eople and observe the better clothing and happier faces, which indicate clearly that the New Deal is a great improvement over the Old Deal?just around the cor ner. We are willing to adm^that this New Deal does not permit certain big interests to gobble up all the profits for themselves as the Old Deal did. Let the people who have profiled from the New Deal vote for it. The majority that has directly profit ed from it embraces probably 90 per cent of our imp utation. And for the safety of the nation and the generations that will follow, it is necessary that they vote 100 per cent fot the New Deal. Working Old-Time Tricks Already the trained politicians are working their old-time tricks by saving that certain candidates are losing out. We are unable to say who is going forward or los ing out in the race for governor, but we do (feplore the fact that political writers try to make capital for their friends in obscure ways. While it is perfectly all right for any one to follow his own dictates as to his choice for any political office, it is hardly fair to say that one man is going strong while another is los ing out unless he is able to assert it as a fact; and, generally, no one knows this early in the game just how the tide is running. That is why the politicians begin to strike nasty blows to change the current be fore it even begins to flow. Too Many Divorces There seems to be graend to ihow that it is seldo* wise for a woman to marry a man with money, and He wise unwise for a man to marry a woman with money. Newspapers are now carrying the photographs of young Cornelius Yanderbilt and his three wives; two of them divorced, and the third, in the honeymoon stage, already said to be headed toward the divorce courts. The chances are that a man with more money than character, Who does not know the meaning and depth of the marriage vows, is the sole cause. Too many of such marriages are being contracted these days. It is better to marry and get rich than it is to get rich and marry. There are entirely too many divorces these days for the safety of our social structure, and there is usually no excuse for them. Good Rules, But? El km Tribune. A Chicago preacher has summed up a set of rules, formulated by five hundred newly married couples in the Windy city, by which they expect to make their marriages permanent. Here are the eight rules: (1) Keep the "in-laws" at a disatnce. (2) Avoid jealousy. <i) Discipline your relation ship along sane lines. (4) Consolidate the home by having children. (5) Maintain a budget. (6) Don't entertain too many, casual friends. (7) Have a church affiliation. (8) Don't flood your marriage in alcohol. The breaking of the marriage ties in this country has come to be a social problem of more than ordi nary significance, and these rules, if strictly adhered to, would go a long way toward solving it; rules that should apply not only to newlyweds but to older mar ried couples as well, because divorces do not always come in the first few months or years of married life. Yet "rules" are but the fence-posts upon which must be strung many wires, some of them with sharp barbs that annoy, to keep the flock herded together and the wolves without. There must be sympathetic understanding, tolerance and cooperation; there must be give-and-take, unselfishness and consideration one for the other. But first of all there must be mutual love and affection that goes deeper than physical at traction and finally there must lie spiritual Tightness and oneness if the marital ties are to endure. Rules cannot be made to cover these things, how ever much they may help. Individual purity and char acter is what counts, and when either of the married couple embarks on a trail of deceit or disloyalty, the ship is soon on the rocks. Revolutionary Doctrine Newt and Observer. About the soundest advice that could be given to this State and others which hope to make money out of tourists was that gjven at I'inehurst recently when James Gray, director of the Resettlement Administra tion, proposed the revolutionary doctrine that the Itest way to please tourists is to make this State attractive tc just the sort of people who live in it. By and large the people who come to North Carolina are not fab ulous millionaires, but the same sort of people that the North Carolinians are who set off to see New York with $50 or $100 in their pockets. It has not been many years since North Carolina shared the delusions of grandeur of other Southern States< in real estate developments of which "yacht basins" and, luxury hotels weie essential adjuncts, but if anylxrdy remains who still expects the multi tude of itinerant millionaires, he is a case of arrested development in the processes of disillusionment. The time has come to get down to the good earth. Tourists are not the creatures of the speculator's imagination but ordinary folk who want cleanliness and good food, but no costly pretentious standardiza tion at exorbitant cost. As Mr. Gray suggests, a cup of good coffee may be worth more than all the ugly signs that litter our highways in attracting tourists. Certainly the wide availability of good coffee and the general absence of foolish, ugly, unprofitable roadside signs would make this a better State in which to live and no less attractive a State to thoes we wish to visit it. Public Announcement Tarboro Southerner. Hereafter the name of every person in North Caro lina whose driving license has been revoked for dunrk en driving will be made available for publication by the Highway Safely Division of the Department of Revenue. Not that juch information has not always been available, court dockets being open always to public peruasl. However, while up to now the names of such |>ersons have appeared only in the newspapers of the towns in which they were convicted, in the fu ture lists presumably will be compiled by the state agency and published in state newspapers. This simply means that drunken drivers will receive not only home-town publicity but state-wide publicity. What good it may do, however, is another ques tion. The type of person who hasn't any better sense or regard for the rights and lives of others than to drive a car while intoxicated usually doesn't have much concern for hit reputation anyway. Publicity, then, is the least of his worries. In fact, it it absurd to picture a drunk reasoning thus about the matter: "No; I won't drive this car. I don't mind having my driving license revoked, and I don't mind paying $50 fine and costs, and I don't mind taking a chance on killing myself, or anybody else who happens to get close to me, and I don't mind wrecking this $1,000 automobile, and I don't mind being written up in the local paper, but I'm not going to drive it because I might get my name in some out-of-town papers where nobody knows me anyhow." rom SALE: LIGHT 4 WHEEL I trailer with license for tcl Our year.
