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.

C, under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. _ Friday, May 28, 1937 Declaration oi Dependence Million.' oi the aged, the blind, and dependent youths will apply for aid under the social security program ■ Juh 1. and their declaration of depend- | ence has the possibility of overshadowing the 1776 ; Declaration of Independence. Many of the aaed. no doubt, have earned the mea ger sums that will he theirs, and the old people in this class well justify the creation of the security program. Many others have been victims of a thoughtless so ciety, people who worked hard to get ahead in this world but who were trampled upon and caused to give up in despair. Somebody owes them a debt, and, by all righteousness and fairness, they should be given protection in their declining years. There are still others who have squandered their earthly belongings, mortgaged their souls, and depended from the start upon the labor of their fellowntan for support. For them and for society as a whole organized relief will prove more advantageous than the old haphazarded methods following in the past. After these many years, society is extending a help ing hand to the blind. Surely, those who falter in continuous darkness are eligible for aid. and their lot justifies the security program. The saddest picture surrounding the entire program is that presented by the many children who have been deserted by their parents. The little ones have been left to the mercy of society with about as much con scousness as they would give to the shooting of a mad dog. In this connection, Mrs. \V. T. Bost, as state welfare commissioner, says, "Children are not chat tels to be disposed of without the least consideration or compunction, no matter what their status may be. They are our future citizens, and we should consider it not only a duty but a privilege to aid them in even possible way in order that they may grow to maturity in a natural manner, reflecting credit upon themselves, their communities and their nation.1 It is a bit difficult to understand how brutal a par ent can be in some cases. Right here in our own com munity little children have been driven from their homes, and society, refusing to recognize them, has allowed numbers to roam the trash dumps by day for food and go to goods boxes by night to rest their lit tle bodies. Only a short time is required for the lit tle waif to lose his soul and lose faith in man-made laws that jail him when he steals a morsel of bread to satisfy the hunger gnawing at his stomach. So ciety is now reaping a harvest of crime and lax mor als because it has closed its eyes to the problem. An awakening society will no doubt effect a new hope and relieve, in a large measure, the deplorable conditions that have been allowed to exist for so long a time. The People Haven't Changed Claims that the people are turning against the President are believed unfounded. Some of the poli tical minds and writers would have us believe that the President is making his last stand, but once the underlying motive for their assertions is understood it will, in all probability, be seen that the people are still with the President. Action of the President since the last November election has not been of the sort to turn the people against him, and the reports claiming that they have are apparently being hatched and mothered by such organizations as the Liberty League. The Old Guard, the Liberty Leaguers and others who would like to see the masses made into serfs are doing ail the talking. Probably they have gained a few converts, but the masses are as strong for Mr. Roosevelt and his policies, including the court plan, as they were last November. It is possible that some of Mr. Roosevelt’s policies will be refuted by the political gang, but the assertion that the President is less popular with the people to day than he was a few months ago is unfounded. Another Generation Asheboro Courier High school teachers who attend the l niversity summer school at College Park, Md.. will receive cred it for automobile driving. Sometime ago. newspapers heralded the fact that in several of the larger western high schools, seniors were taught safety and driving methods as a part of their high school work. Now the state of Maryland has become sufficiently safety conscious that they are teaching teachers to teach practical driving safety. As a part of the summer school curriculum, a course will be offered that will enable teachers to instruct pupils in driving. The teachers will receive credit for this course. All phases of driving will be s'ressed by the course, which was prepared by the Automobile Association of America and several field experts. 1 he course was designed for practical lessons and will touch manv problems to be faced in modern-day driving. All the talking, writing, lecturing, sentencing of convicted offenders and other methods employed have done little or no good toward cutting down automo bile accidents. Possible- starting with children may help—if not in this generation, in the next.
