Friday, December 9. 1938 j Bring Christmas Joy To \ ourself The only way to insure yourself a happy Christmas is to make a con tribution of some sort that will aid in providing a happy Christmas for others. Because the true spirit of the Christmas season is only obtained by providing some measure of happiness for those who may not be as well provided for as you are. There are countless opportunities about us here in Washington County, and the cost of bringing happiness to ourselves and many others is pitiful ly meager in too many instances. Un fortunate poor children who are look ing forward with little but hope to Christmas this year can be made pa theticalJy gratetul tor even a cast off or broken toy, because otherwise they will get nothing Many of them did not have enough clothing to keep themselves warm during the recent cold spell, and that in itself should suggest something to those who have old clothing they can spare. The firemen and the local Ameri can Legion post are planning to make a distribution of necessities and toys to the unfortunate at Christmas time, but the extent of their work will necessarily be limited b\ the coopera tion and contributions of the rest of us. Look about your home now and gather up whatever old toys and other things you can find which will make some person—particularly the chil dren—happy. Deliver them to the appointed agency, and you will have done your part to bring cheer not only to the unfortunate recipients, but to yourself, your town, community and county. There IT ill Be Control, Begardless of t ote Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace never spoke a more truthful sentence than that last Thursday, w-hen he made the prediction that there would be crop control, regard less of the outcome of the referendum Saturday. And the real question, as the Secretary said, is whether the control will be by means of low prices, as in 1930 to 1932, or farmer con trol through some such program as the farmers are now voting on. There is little to be -ulded to these facts Seven or eight cent tobacco will have more effect in reducing the acreage than all the penalties and quotas that can be applied, now or later. And that 7 or 8 cents tobacco OUR FELLOW DRIVERS > By Mu«tl«r 1 ^ Tl Travelers Safety Service (1/ iJJ^iS+JIjliWIUIiW 1U1I\ "So h« won't dim his bright lights, eh! W«ll, I'll 9'v« him mine, th« idiotl'4 is not improbable with the whole southeastern part of the United States turning to its production, as it is certain to do if the bars are let down. The only trouble with control forced by low prices is that there are too many innocent suffers. Disas trous prices will mean that the tobac co farmers and their families will face absolute poverty again, as they did in the early thirties. Children will be kept out of school due to lack of warm clothing arid books: foreclos ures for taxes and mortgages will again be as common as they were be fore and once more our roads will be crowded with wandering families seeking some place to live and some thing to eat. Xot a pretty picture, to be sure, but we saw it once, and we can see it again. in the same -hall where Secretary Wallace spoke last Thursday just a few short years ago a frenzied gather ing—you might almost say mob—of tobacco farmers forced the closing of all the tobacco markets in eastern North Carolina until some sem blance of order was brought to the marketing of a crop that was about to wreck a whole section. Regimen tation? There was real regimenta tion, a band of unfortunate people forced together by the spectre of starvation itself. Dictatorship? There can be no more heartless dictators than hunger, and want, and poverty. A county man who returned from Florida and Georgia only last week tells of seeing new tobacco barns as thick as filling stations along the roadside in that section. Those peo ple hope the control referendum will fail so that the bars will be let down. And if it does, we in the tobacco-pro ducing areas of North Carolina will never again produce as large a per centage of the crop as we now do. even if control returns after a year or two. We who now dominate pro duction of tobacco, by growing 70 per cent of the total, would lose a third of our quotas after one season without control, or half after two years. In other words, if control should return in 1941, after being defeated for two years, our allot ments and poundage quotas would be GILMER'S MARKET ELECTRIC SLICED BACON, ll>. . . 35c FRY STEAK, lb. . 19c FRKSH HAMS, lb. 25* CHOPS, lb. . . 25c MEATY BEEF STEW, lb. ... 15c SMOKED Sausage, lb. . . 15c SELECT OYSTERS, qt. 45c SAUSAGE EE AT.

Failure of control also means no more crop loans. Where would we be now if the price of cotton and pea nuts were not pegged where they are now by government loans? Farmers alone vote on these prob lems Saturday of this week. They should carefully consider every phase, and they should by all means vote their convictions. It is especially important for all who favor continu ance of the program to vote, because for every vote cast against control, two must be cast for it in order to put it into effect. Coming back to the real question: Shall we have control by low prices, or shall we have farmer control by a crop program? The problem is yours, and may your answer be for the best interests of yourself, your family, your neighbors, and our section. -® 70 PER CENT -«—— Flue-cured tobacco growers have been allotted 754.000.000 pounds of leaf under the 1939 AAA program, says E. Y. Floyd. AAA executive of ficer at State College. North Carolina will receive approximately 70 per cent of this amount if more than two-thirds of the growers throughout the flue-cured area vote in favor of quotas on December 10. -® LESPEDEZA SEED Dickie Little of Wadesboro, Route 3, reports harvesting 18 bushels of lespedeza seed from one acre with the use of the combine.

GAYLORD n25 4t Commissioner NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in a certain mort gage executed by Comfort Lane and Carley Lane on the 9th day of Jan uary, 1935, recorded in Book 110, page 357 in the office of the Regis Rambling ...About By THE RAMBLER I)ilkt>'s Itoul Bid— Net that it makes any difference, bm since this is a column of more or less personal opinion, we are getting pretty well fed up with the critical attitude of West Coast sports writers in airing their views about the “Iron Dukes" ever since the latter accepted Southern California's bid to the Rose Bowl. In the first place the w:hole West Coast should be flattered that one of their teams is even allowed to participate in the game, since it is supposed to be played between two "outstanding" teams. If there is one thing the Coast hasn't got this year, it is an outstanding football team, because practically every outfit out there has been beaten once or twice by some second-rater. Take Southern Cal, f'rinstance. Even if they did beat Notre Dame Saturday—and that was no second-rater, by any manner of means—they had been beaten twice before: once by Alabama, who was mistreated by some two or three teams in the Southeastern Confer ence, as well as by Washington. And, for ’em or ag'in ’em, it must be admitted Duke has an impressive record. Any squad in this country which plays Georgia Tech, Colgate, University of North Carolina, Syra cuse and Pittsburg is supposed to be scored upon ,and we don't care how you figure it. As a matter of fact, Duke probably couldn't do it again, but that's not the point: the point is: They did do it. Say what you will, you always come back to that incon trovertible fact, and that alone en titles them to the bid. to us, tne most remarKaoie iea tures of the whole season were a few figures contained in the statistics of the Pitt-Duke fracas, evidently over looked by most of the writing fra ternity, since we haven't seen it men tioned. That had to do with the number of yards gained and lost by the mighty Panthers in the second half. We don't know', but we’re will ing to bet that was the first time in recent Pitt history that a team from there was ever held to a net gain of nothing for an entire half. The fig ures for the second and third quar ters showed: Yards gained from scrimmage, 12: yards lost from ditto, 12; net gain. 0. We in this neck of the w'oods are willing to let the New Year's game take care of itself, so far as Duke is concerned.

Oh. oh. oh, and ouch! Problem in Proportion— Speaking of football intersectional warefare reminds us of an aceurrence in post-Civil War days, recently re lated by the Rev. Wade Johnson, the new Methodist minister here here. Mr. Johnson said that an "unrecon structed" uncle of his, shortly after he returned from the Civil War—the uncle, not the Rev. Mr. Johnson, please—had occasion to prepare an arithmetic textbook as a part of his duties as a schoolteacher. Over in the portion devoted to examples in pro portion appeared this problem: If 5 Southerners can chase 20 Yankees, how many Southerners will it take to chase 100 Yankees?" Few young Rebs had any trouble with this, although they probably couldn’t prove it. Free Speech—Modified— When you come right down to it. our boasted freedom of speech in this country is more or less a state of mind, and if you don't believe it give heed for a moment to this gem from the Patterson (Kansas) News: "Thank goodness we live in a free country, where a man can say what he thinks—if he isn't afraid of his wife, neighbors, or boss: and if he’s sure it won’t hurt his business or his reputation." The Tale of a Smart Dog— Well, the bird-hunting season came in on time Thursday of last week, and many’s the good yarn that will be told about the exploits of this or that dog, because the man -who doesn't love his bird dog just ain't a bird hunter. It's a funny thing; you can make critical comments about a man's appearance, his family, his car. his house, and his crazy ideas in general, and he will hear you through in silence and good nature. But the minute you make a disparaging re mark about his bird dog, you'd bet ter be ready to fight or run. Just the other night a group of hunters were discussing their dogs, [ and the tales were becoming "pret- [ ty tall," when one of the group took the lead. "Smith," he said, "had the most intelligent retrievers I ever saw. One night his house caught fire. All was in instant confusion. Old Smith and his missus flew for the children, and bundled them out with them in short order. "Alas, one of them had been left behind. But up jumped the dog. rushed into the house and soon re appeared with the missing child.. Everyone was saved: but Rover turn ed and dashed back into the flames again. "What was that dog after? No one knew. Presently the noble animal re appeared. somewhat scorched and burned, with—what do you think?” His listeners were all on edge. “Give it p,” they cried in unison. "With the fire insurance policy, wrapped in a damp towel, gentle men." the narrator said solemnly, without a smile. He Ktieic. All Rig hi— Asked the meaning of the term, dressed lumber, a western Kansas schoolboy replied: "Charlie McCar thy.” LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of a Judgment made and entered in the cause en titled Washington County vs. W.
