Friday, November 22, 1935 A Case for Sympathy The first woman driver in North Carolina to lose her license to o[ierate a car because of drunkenness comes from near I'inetown, N, C. The judge susjiend ed her license for six months, which was an error, as the law requires the license of all those convicted of drunken driving to be sus|?ended for 12 months. It would seem that even with the help of state laws, the lady was unable to control her alcohol. In that respect, she is just like all other drinkers, both men and women, none of them can control alcohol in quan tities. Both legal and illegal liquor make the same kind of drunkards. Of course, somebodj may attempt to jusitfy this woman, because she was |>aying taxes on the liquor she drank. But the amount of taxes paid by liquor in all of her country will never compensate for the sor row and disgrace brought to one good woman and her household. Every person who resjiects humanity should sym pathize with the |ioor woman and condemn the dem on alcohol. We need to remember that the name ol every drunken driver convicted in North Carolina will have to be advertised to the world. We hope it wil1 never fall to our lot to record the name of a drunken woman in our columns. Governmental Supervision Necessary That was a peculiar statement coming from Paul P. Brown, opposing membership in the Eederal Reserve system of all banks with above $1,000,000 resources, on the ground that such membership will tend to centralize the banking. Mr. Brown should read the history of banking in the Cnited States under the Morgan period of domin ion and then make up his mind whether he wants the Morgan freedom, which made all other banks in tile country totter, quiver, tumble, and "bust," or whether it is better to have governmental supervision, which has put banking and banks on a safer foundation than they have ever been since the first chapter of bank ing his tory was written in America. History has proven that in too many cases the banker has sought to be dictator, which, in turn, has too often proved disastrous. As we see things, all the folks wil be much safer with the government directing the banking system than they will be if it is turned over to the Morgan Mellon-Mills company, to let them gobble up the country again. Can Mr. Brown point to anything that that gang has ever done to commend itself to the confidence and respect of the people, or their government? On the Outside Looking in Fifty-two nations of the world have definitely joined their peacful forces to outlaw war by cooperating in imposing economic sanctions against Italy for her un provoked attack on Ethiopia. We are sorry to say that America does not head the procession. Unfortunately, those who want frequent wars be cause of their own selfish interests blocked us when we were about to join the same league that is now working so hard for peace. We are standing outside, in a sulky manner, apparently just waiting for an op portunity to make some kind of a grab. For our policy of isolation, our country has already paid dearly, through the loss of trade with other na tions. We have also lost the esteem and respect in which we were held at the end of the World War. We seem now to be like a selfish boy who refuses to play tiecaus he has to gt down on a level with other boys. We already feel that we have acted selfishly because we have made no effort to help out in the good work toward permanent peace. Watch Mr. Fletcher Chairman F'letcher, of the Republican National Ex ecutive Committee, declares that America needs a new financial policy. Since he apparently sticks so tightly to Hoover principles, be evidently prefers the old fi nancial Morgan-Hoover deal, which gave Morgan and his cohorts all the money and took the property of all the poor folks of the country We detest the old financial policies of former days, which are the same kind that Mr. Fletcher wants to ice prevail now. Watch Mr. Fletcher. He wants to throw the same old yoke on us again. An Indictment of Mankind Nahouol Cotmcil far Prevention of War The United Sum, Greet Britain and Riuaia are largely responsible for the peace of the world, due to the fact that they hold a complete, or nearly complete, monopoly of the most essential raw materials. This statement is made in an editorial in the October 20 issue of the bulletin of the National Association of Purchasing Agents. According to the same article, it is up to these three to seek economic adjustments that will make possible permanent peace. "What say the three nations?" asks the editorial "Two have spokeo. Sir Samuel Huare, Britain's for eign minister, offers to help find a 'guarantee' that all nations shall have free access to Britain's colonial supplies. Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, speaks in the same manner. Russia is expected to join hands It is now the expressed hope of other nations that these men have not spoken too late or in vain and that their peoples will agree to aid these words with their deeds. It is the hope that the need for wars of colonial expansion will Ire eradicated. "Because several great industrial nations have no control over sources of supply of raw materials, the world finds the [xjssibitity of wars, which admittedly, would wreck European civilization. It is a terrific in dictment of mankind that such things can be." Worthy of a Place The Red Cross Opportunity Red Cross workers are now canvassing for mem berships. Of course, they are trying to give every citizen in the community an opportunity to become a member. However, if they fail to see any person when they call, they hope he will look up the can vassers and see that he is enrolled for membership by paying $1 This is a splendid movement, and though you may feel that you are already giving your part toward the church and the Charities, you will not have to push much to add another $1 to the opportunity to help a good cause. ? God's Moment ?i Romans 12:1?"1 Beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your/reasonable service." \ "There is a soul Gethsemane Where 1 must kneel, There's a prayer that I must pray ? Till I can feel That self has been denied And God has won; _ When 1 can truly say within my heart, Not my will, but thine, be done." v We Must Build More Houses Henry Van Dyke. Are you willing to stoop down and consider the needs and desires of little children; to remember the weakness and loneliness of people who are growing old to stop asking how much your friends love you. but rather to ask yourself whether you love them j enough; to Irear in mind the things that other people I have to bear on their hearts; to trim your lamp so i that it will give more light and less smoke, and to car- { ry it in front so that your shadow will fall behind you; to make a grave for your ugly thoughts, and a garden for your kindly feelings, with the gate wide open?these even fot a day? Then you are worthy of a place in this world. Strangers are coming to Williamston almost daily seeking houses to live in. Two nice-looking out-of town people were here looking for homes only last Monday. If we expect the town togrow, we must provide places for folks to live. It is a good invest*, ment to build the right kind of house, and every time a house is built in town, it tends to lower the town tax rate a little. A Vain Thing To Glory About Italy seems to want to brag over the fact that her soldiers have rained down air bombs and killed 2,000 Ethiopians. It is a very vain thing to boast about. Anybody can take life. They need to remember that God Himself has taken a hand in past wars. Rain ing down hailstones from the elements, He won a great (rattle on the l'hillistine plains. Many people ap|>arently would like to see the Italian war end up in the same way. Highway Slaughter Morgan ton News-Herald Most of us shook our heads in grave concern when we learned a few days ago that 1934 had set a new high mark in automobile fatalities, a total of 33,980, or an increase of 15 per cents over the previous year. All the wars in American history claimed only 244, 357 lives, while in the 15-year period between 1920 and 1935 automobile deaths have numbered 388,936, 5C per cent more than the total of all Americans who have fallen in battle. There is another angle to this national practice of strewing our highways with motor car wreckage that also deserves consideration. This 1s the damage bill. The monetary cost of highway accidents last year is placed at $2,500,000,000. This is in property dam age alone, and is exclusive of the economic loss by deaths, or the wage losses due to accidents. In the light of these figures, both in life and prop erty damage, it would seem that the matter of high way safety has become a major issue in this country. We cannot continue such slaughter. Some cure must be evolved, and, no matter how drastic it may be, we shall have to grin and accept it.

Cow Should Average 300 Pounds Butterfat in Year A herd of cows that averages less than 250 pounds of fat will make lit tle, .if any, profit. A 300-pound av erage should be the goal of every herd owner and this production can be had by the use of good, high pro duction bred bulls and the raising of | all heifer calves from the best cows. This production, however, will not be profitable unless all, or a greater part of the feed, is produced on the | farm. Two tons of good legume, hay and two acres of pasture should be provided for a year's feeding fpr each cow in the herd in addition to the necessary grains. NOTICE North Carolina, Martin County.
