I THE ROANOKE BEACON And Washington County News Published Every Friday in Plymouth, Washington County, North Carolina WALTER H. PARAMORE Managing Editor The Roanoke Beacon was established in 1889 and consolidated with the Washington County News in 1929. Subscription Rates In Washington, Martin, and Tyrrell Counties One year — $1.50 Six months - 3S Outside of Above Counties One year $2.00 Six months (Strictly Cash in Advance) Advertising Rates Furnished Upon Request Entered as second-class matter at the post office in Plymouth, N. C., under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879, Friday. March 3, 1933 Congress Nears the End Well, this week ends up a great session of Con gress—great for its smallness. So little that it could crawl into a beer bottle and sleep in the hands of the money trust. It may be due some credit, but so far as we know the only thing of which the members can boast is that they have gone to the money trust and borrowed some money and increased our interest load for the purpose of keeping our depressed, poverty-stricken people from starving to dath. What has Congress done to commend itself to the respect of the people? We are open for information. Wrong Leader W e are giving too much time to business affairs and too little to spiritual things. The devil can't give a man prosperity. God can give him eternal life. We are following the wrong fellow. The Japanese Course in Asia How long will it take Japan to own Asia, if she is permitted to go her way unhampered? Of course, no one can tell, yet from their spirit of avariciousness, it would seem they propose to grab all they can. No Doubt the Japanese propose to subdue all China and then destroy Russia in Asia. What next? Per haps India or California. What a sin we committed when we refused to join the League of Nations and merit the respect of all nations. Then the national grab game would have been stopped. Social System in Paralyzed Condition We understand that labor is getting scarce and hard to get in some places of this county. Women who are offered jobs washing and doing housework refue, saying that they are getting supplies from the Red Cross and welfare agencies and do not have to work. We realize that with the many millions of people out of work and without income or property, our whole social system is in a paralyzed condition and that it is impossible to bring things to a perfect ad justment. even with many years trial. For that rea son it is a hard job to feed and clothe the worthy needy humans without some of those of the hog type breaking in and getting things to which they are not justly entitled. It is a thing that needs to be han dled with great care, or the needy will be denied and the unworthy will get that which is intended for oth ers. We have heard of a few cases where those who were helped were found drunk a few hours later, and some other cases where those who beg their food and clothes spend whatever money they get going to shows or for other wasteful purposes. It now looks as if the government will have to in augurate some pain to get people to earn their own living. Certainly, in the Southland it can be done by getting those who have no means to get on the waste farm lands and produce those things they need to sus tain life and health. The present condition can not go on but for so long before there is general bankruptcy. Breaking Away From the Party System We see more signs of people coming to their po litical senses than for many years. In the Roosevelt cabinet we find at least a variation from the strict party line, and the same thing applies to some of the diplomatic posts. There are many people who boast that they are for their party right or wrong, and this has been one of the most dangerous principles any voter can follow, particularly in a democracy, where the laws to be en acted, judged, and executed affect all alike. The old rough-and-tumble scuffle that has been go ing on between the two major political parties in the United States for nearly three-quarters of a century mainly on account of the spoils which victory brings, has done more to help evil influences direct govern mental policies than any other single thing. England beats us because the English value their country higher than any party, and when it comes to a question of common good, they blot out party lines and stand for the rights and the protection of their country even if it does hurt the party. The United States certainly needs higher ideals in politics than party pilfering and plundering. People Promised in Campaign That No Change Would Be Made in Liquor Law Charity and Children. We demand that the legislators at Raleigh live up to the platform of both political parties and the cam paign promises of the leaders in the campaign. Every one knows that the citizens of the State were sol emnly promised that nothing would be done about the prohibition laws without referring the same to the people. However, all who have had to do with liquor forces know that no promise is sacred, and the word of liquor is not to be believed. The men of our leg islature are not liquor men. We hope that they have too much sense to be hoodwinked by the real liquor forces breaking a solemn word. Under the Beacon Light -By WALTER H. PARAMORE Dedication This issue oj the Roanoke Beacon is dedicat ed to C. H. Rabon, teacher oj vocational agri culture in the Creswell High School, whose work among the farmers and their sons in the Scitp pernong section has endeared him to them and has greatly developed in the farm folk their es teem for a teacher oj agriculture. Either in the classroom or on the farm, Mr. Rabon sets about his task of aiding the men and boys and women he contacts as a man who knows what he is doing. Bad roads or inconvenient times do not de ter this young man when opportunity affords him a chance to aid the boys and men who come for him when farm animals are sick or to learn when and how to plant cover crops. Not only that .but Mr. Rabon has the esteem of his students. They respect him and have found that his practical knowledge of the tasks and difficulties of the farm has aided him greatly in pointing to them some method of an economical and safe and sound way to solve agricultural problems. And the esteem that he is held in the community means success for Mr. Rabon. The Beacon’s toast to this young teacher— “Accept this as a word of commendation for your work, and no doubt any man who does the smalt things thoroughly and well and who accepts the opportunity for service at an inconvenience bids fair to becoming a great success in agricultural teaching as well as in other vocations and may the cooperation that you give this paper be re flected in its aid in your success.” -o Playlet A correspondent to this column writes: “I am one of the readers of the superb Roanoke Beacon and notice your fascinating column ‘‘Under the Beacon Light.” In the next paragraph the writer shoots this crack at the column: “1 read every word on the first page, but so provoking is the new column that it nauseates me." Allow for a wise cracker. Nertzl In this same letter the penman tells of an incident somewhat like the following about local young poker payers, who keep a bar of Octagon soap on the table to forcibly wash out the mouth of any of the partici pants w’ho curse during the pleasantries of such a game. It happened while Chief Brown was trying to sneak up on them. As the officer with no rubber shoes on his feet peeped into the room, one of the big shots piped out across the table to another so that the officer could hear: ‘‘Pass me a queen.'1 Officer Brown: “Wish I had rubber soles so that I could have walked lighter.’1 “Sure. Will you join us in a quiet game of ‘fish,1 11 said one of the darlings (Fish: A card game in which queen are predominant in playing. Classed with rummy, etc.) The Prize Joke of the Week Into the select circle of the brethren of the frater nity of ‘‘Under the Beacon Tight'’ comes another girl. Make room for her. No booes allowed. She is Sadie Lee Fagan, of Dardens, writing under the title of a “Farm Girl.” And her missive concerns bachelor’s and taxes. “Don't know what they will tax now unless it is the poor old lonely bachelor. They should be taxed so heavily that they can’t afford to longer avoid mat rimony. How about sidetracking them to some lone ly widow who has no one to help rear eight children. Thus loneliness is turned into a happy life of help ing others.’’ "A colored teacher told a pupal to write on the board a sentence that included the word, ‘delight.’ Little George Washington Abraham Lincoln Stubbs | scribbled: ‘De wind blowed and put out de light.’ ” Sure, Miss Fagan; come again with the story of “something you saw at the fair.” -o—— Scampering along the beach under the Beacon’s light: Mrs. S. D. Barco who died in Roper last week was the last of the immediate family of Downings prominent as far back as Revolutionary Days . . . . Who is the clumsiest girl basketball player? . . . . Bill Clifton's hair reminds one of the tresses of Stan Laurel .... Who remembers when Chubby Liver man didn't smoke? .... Victor Everett is the best dressed ... A lawyer that teachers school—E. N. Riddle . . . Mrs. Georgeanna Owens reads a lot . . . Spunk .Meander goes to Sunday School regularly . . . My mother is the most interesting talker I ever heard . . . Spring will be welcome. ——o If you like this little column, write and tell the editor about it. If you don’t, write also. Letters will be published if space is available. Put in your letter a good original joke or one you picked up, or anything that you think suitable and if you don’t want your name published with your con tribution, please advise the editor.
