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 - Outside of Above Counties One year Six months $2.00 _ 1.00 (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, May 12, 1933 F, President Roosevelt Speaks For frankness and clearness, as well as for wisdom and honesty of purpose, the Sunday night speech of President Roosevelt was a gem worthy of the admira tion of all thinking people. The principles he announced should not be modi fied by Congress, because they are necessary to put business on a fair basis, which must be done soon, or our democracy will give way to despotism. Now is the time for the people to push forward and see that such conditions as we have been struggling un der for the past decade shall not prevail longer, or again occur. One of the big mistakes we make is to turn loose our thinking when everything goes good and let others do it for us. Now is the time to fall in and change things and then keep them right. The Vacation Problem What will we do with the half million children who .will go out of the public schools of the State this week ? This is a question that is certainly worth a due amount of consideration. Most of them, of coure, are too young to do any work, while others are able to carry on home and farm work of any kind from general household duties to general farm work. The four months vacation gives a fine opportunity to discipline the young folks and give them an insight to the responsibilities they will soon have to face. They will have an opportunity to observe and bene fit from the experiences of their fathers and mothers. If we will take the trouble to take care of our chil dren during the summer months, it will help us now and will also be a fine thing for the boys and girls when they grow up. On the other hand, if we turn them loose, scot-free, and just let them ‘"big time" and run wild with few restrictions, we will in many cases regret it. There has never been any excuse for letting chil dren hav as much rope as they, have had for the past dozen years. They have had a big hand in ruling the home; the hard studies have had to be taken out of the schools to please them; and, after all, we find those that have had the least restrictions and been allowed to run at will are the ones that are now giv ing their parents the most sorrow and the state the most trouble. The parents of North Carolina can do as much for their children during the vacation period as all of our politicians can do in a year. We can keep them strong and healthy by sending them to bed early, seeing that they get up early, work for exercise a portion of the time at least rather than permitting them to play all he time. Late parties and wild riding are dangerous grounds for young boys and girls. Riding for a Fall Tobacco prices will almost certainly be low next fall if a big crop is produced. Some people are figur ing that good times are coming with a mighty rush and drive prices sky-high again—and every indica tion points to a revival of business all along the line. Yet there is not even a show of reason to believe that a big crop of tobacco will sell high. I-ast year the crop of bright tobacco was 372,449, 000 pounds; the 1930 crop totaled 856.899,000 pounds, 55,915,000 pounds more than double the last year's crop, whiah was 217,783,000 pounds lower than the fourteen-year average. While the price of tobacco was some higher last year than it was in 1931, it is believed by tobacco folks generally that if we had had a normal crop, the warehouses would have closed long before the season ended for the want of bidders. Now, we must go on the market again, with world conditions only slightly improved and with the price of manufactured tobacco much lower. What may we expect for a large, or even an average, crop of tobac co? We hear some people trying to predict that there will not be much increase in acreage—and in some places there may not be—yet upon the whole, our guess is that the acreage in the Bright Belt will be large, perhaps as large as we have ever had. With favorable seasons, it means a bumper crop, because plenty of fertilizer has been used. With a big crop and prospect for lew prices, the farmers will do well not to spend much money on production. The Line oi Beggars The line of beggars is much shorter now than at any time during the year, judging by the appearances of the crowds that stand around. Many of the folks have found their way into the fields and other places where thev can find something to do; some are mak ing something from fishing. There are yet a few of the honest unfortunates who are in real need. However, it sems that a larg num ber of those who are standing by asking for help are the victims of sin and misery either on their own ac count or through their parentage. So we still have the maimed, the halt, the lame, and the blind with us who have slipped down the hill of civilization and society until about all they seem to want is a little food to sustain life and sufficient clothing to get along | with. There are many who are suffering from neglect, which a more sympathetic society might have saved I with proper care and attention. Now, they can never ; rise, and we will have to feed them because we neg lected them in the long ago. It is the business of the strong to hold up and defend the weak before they , fall. Hardly a person now in the breadline has ever gone beyond the first or second reader. They need to know more. Under the Beacon Light _By WALTER H. PARAMORE This issue of The Roanoke Beacon is dedicat ed to Mrs. A. Sexton Holmes, who is considered one of the best teachers and one of the best extra curricula workers in any of the good schools in Washington County, and for her general activities she is respected and liked. It was through her initiative and a product of her mind that started the annual May Day celebration i that will become a regular fixture in the Creswell school from now on. This was the first of such affairs that the community will hold in conjunction with their annual flower show. And to the boys and girls who delight in these events she is held in esteem. Not a murmur of disapproval. Not a click in the work. Not a moment of hesitation by a timid boy or girl marred the May festivities last Monday. Even though the streams were hung on the pole wrong by a haphazarded helper, the dancers weaved in and out with dexterity. Such work of this kind deserves credit from the public. She demonstrated her organizing ability in arrang ing the order of the events. Her ability to choose the performers and participants reflected her good work again. Here and there she attended to last minute emergency matters, but always found time to I aid a struggling newspaperman, who was there at the May Day activities to weave a story out of the maze of activities. Such a woman deserves encouragement and a toast—"May the interest that you take in ar ranging and presenting amusements and enter tainment for the public reflect in the better train ing of the children that you teach, and may these children for this extra training in latter days call you blessed for this extra interest in their lives and may the public long have you to furnish through your children diversion for them.” --o For a perfect illustration of “spunk” the columnist calls your attention to the little fox terrier owned by Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Beam. Mrs. Beam brought the pet down town the other day with the little animal tugging at his rein and playfully demonstrating the fact that he was glad to get out. Along came one fo the usual big old dogs that in habit the business area. He growled at the tiny mite, and the little dog growled as gross and as frightful at the large dog and jumped at him. So the large dog tired of the affair and trotted off without another sound. Now this columnist enjoys all these banquets and school dinners and the events that he attends in Wash ington County. But he is strongly opposed to being served the last one when he is at a dinner. Especially if this is formal. But he will always have a tender feeling for Miss Renette Snell. He sat at the end of the table. I’retty waitresses started with Mr. and Mrs. B. G. O'Brien on the right and served all the others first. Last came food to the columnist. Hhe spoke of it. So Miss Snell served him dessert first of all. And she is a heroine. -0 This is an idea from Earl Bateman, who working with the unemployed, who were busy taking down the condemned stock barn on Water Street the other day. Sevnty-five rats were killed by men and dogs. Not a cat was in sight. “There you go,” says the Earl of Arps’ Drug Store. “Dogs killing rats. This is strictly a cat’s work. Cats can not run rabbits. So there you are.” -o—— Jottings from columnists’ note book: Mrs. W. E.
