you pay f ir it ; but
You t-x;ect "Ur licWspapvr !) take the lead
in advocating- change-. 'Tor the betterment of
the ciiiiununity.
You Ivxpec: your newspaper to exjjose graft
in p'ublic ati'airs. to . i'mvstull it by publishing
itemized acciunts of all public moneys spent.
You expect your newspaper to maintain a
high standard ,l Vnterprise, devoting column
after column of propaganda,' supporting the
band, the baseball team, community celebra
tions, I!oy Scouts, high school athletics,-school
programs, home talent plays' and dozens of caus
es and events.
You expect your newspaper to boost for
good roads and protect your community's claim
for its share of road improvements.
You expect your newspaper to build confi
dence in your home financial institutions and
protect homo investors from making unwise in.
vestments in surplus funds, warning against
fake salesmen and other financial pirates.
You expect your newspaper to give notice
of all public meetings, public observances, con
ventions, etc. '.-..
You expect your newspaper to urge sup
port of poor relief benefits, library drives, Red
Cross drives, Christmas seal drives, legion and
- auxiliary drives, poppy sales, forget-me-not
sales, have-a-heart drives, etc, etc.
You expect your newspaper to publish
church notices, church programs, club news,
farm bureau information, demonstration unit
news, market news, weather news, bring you
the market reports and cover all doings of the
many semi-public organizations.
And you expect all this for 2 cents per week
No, it can't be done for that. The money
you pay for the newspaper covers less than one
eight the cost of publishing the paper.
Since advertisers pay a large share of the
expense of publishing your newspaper, don't
you owe them the duty to patronize them when
ever they offer you equal or better values than
non-advertisers?
But in addition to the many services which
tht newspaper is able to give you, you have an
outstanding buying advantage whin you study
the newspaper ads before going on a buying
trip. The ads point out money-saving values.
WHEN ADVERTISED. No advertiser cares to
invest money in telling you about unattractive
buys. His advertising carries the VALUES
that will bring you to him, to make pleased and
steady customers.
Newspaper readers, newspaper advertisers
and the newspaper itself are closely linked to
gether in helping, one another and helping the
community and all profit thereby. Ex.
Old maids should be more hopeful now since
there is so much talk going around that the old
age pension bill is likely to be passed many a
man would marry an old woman and live off
her $200 a month.
The trouble with the experts is that they
are rarely aWe to agree.

WORK OR STARVE
Seme people are natural born complainers.
They are never happier than when they are
complaining about something. There are others
wiio are born lazy, and they never get over it.
Th" e are people who quit. jobs to go on the
lelief roll; workers who refuse jobs because
they prefer to take a small amount from the
relief and be lazy. All kinds of tricks are play
ed to take advantage. It is reported that in
one certain whole community it is almost im
possible to get domestic help because these
workers .prefer the easy money from FEI1A.
No doubt favoritism is shown in many instanc
es. If communities know of cases of "cheating''
on these relief rolls and do not repoit them,;
they have no right to kick about them after
wards. ' We wish, something could be done to . scare
the witsout of -these cheaters and make them
go to work- Work is one of the real cures for
most ditliculties. They should be scared as bad
as Sambo, when the farmer caught him in his
hen house. Sambo, telling about it afterwards,
said he was so scared that when the farmer
grabbed, him by the shoulder, he said to him:
"White boy, what you doin' here ?" Morgan

WAY TO STOP CRIME
While definite details are not available, the
idea advanced at the Crime Conference held in
Washington to create permanent national anti
crime organization strikes us as being one of
the best forward steps possible in the realm of
law enforcement.
While states and local units should not sur
render all powers to the Federal government,
some method of control should be envolved
which will cope with present-day criminal acti
vities. The widespread use of the automobile
has enabled gangsters and bandits to flee from
the scene of their depredations and take ad
vantage of various technicalities.
..While we are not anxious to widen the scope
of Federal activities, there is no reason why the
law enforcement officers of North Carolina and
Haywood County should not be welded into a
compact organization that will form a part of
a national anti-crime army.
Two suggestions made at the conference
deserve special attention. One is the idea ad
vanced by Attorney-General Cummings to set
upa police "West Point" for training officers
from all over the country in crime detection and
the other was the warning from J. Edgar Hoov
er chief of the Justice Department's Division of
investigation that there could be no permanent
suppression of crime until political pressure on
law enforcement agencies disappeared and there
was established some effective co-operation be
tween all agencies of the law.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION IS VITAL
Physical education is beginning to receive
greater attention in the public schools and lead
ing educators go so far as to say that the health
of school children should be placed on a par with
their mental development.
The emphasis is not misplaced. While the
schools of Haywood County have shown signs
of realizing the vital importance of prpper phy.
sical development for pupils the surface has
been scratched, not cultivated, and there exists
vast room for a more comprehensive program.
The present concept of physical education
goes much further than producing athletes and
embraces all means of building healthy bodies
for healthy minds. It is intended to offer sup
ervised athletic opportunities to every boy and
girl in the school system, by which they will be
encouraged to participate in games and acquire
the full benefit that flow from competitive
sports. ' ,

Vh--n Mother has a real Lad cold
Or isn't feelin' very well,
An' Daduy makei er stay in bed,
1 pprtainlv is hard t' tell
V.l-.r.t we're .supposed t' wear t' school,
Or when it's time for us t' go,
Or if we've pot our books an' things;
ur Daddy doesn't seem t' know!
An' when it comes t' breakfast Gee
There doesn't seem t' be a bite
For us t' eat! But Daddy says
That everything will be all right!
He tells us that he learned t' cook
When he Was just a little kid,
An' when his mother wasn't well
That's only part o' what he did.
But, if he learned, he soon forgot,
'Cause all the toast is hard an' black,
An' every egg busts right in two
Tien Daddy flops it on its back.
Eut I feel kind o' sorry then.
Because he does the best he can
And, anyhow, a cookin' job
Don't look so easy for a man.
No sir, it ain't a bit o' fun
When Mother isn't well an' strong,
An' everything we try t' do
Gets all mixed-up an' turns out wrong;
But when she comes downstairs again
It doesn't take her long t' see
What should be done, an' very soon
She's got things like they oughter be!

A plumber arrived at sr.. -:
a busted nine rather late, a:
ing the man of the house- h i
he receivedthe following ansti
so b;ld, I : taught my wife t;
while waiting for you."
Now there I was before this men,
in dire need of a man's handkerchief
and there all I had was a four by four
woman's hanky-what a situation.
To say the least, the cold weather
was 'trying on one's religion.
Edwin Poteat. while not starring on
the football field at tackle, makes
models of planes. He just does it for
tne fun there is in it, and spends hour
after hour on the slightest detail of
the models what patience.
This question of old age pensions is
keeping the world turning now. Some
believe its a good thing others think
it would ruin the country, and others
don't give a hang. Anyway it is an
interesting subject.
There's this much about it, a lot
of people that are sixty or nsarly
that, wouldn't be as bashful in ad
mitting it as they are now.
One man said he was going to get
an official copy of his birth certificate
in case it went through. He wanted
to be sure that he was born, I guess.
I wonder if some of these women
wht haven't had a birthday in fifteen
years would have the grit to have
meir sixtieth one then? .
Since it w-ill be a couple of years
or more before I would be eligible
for the pension I've decided I won't
grow old by worrying about it.
If you ever want an illustration to
give with a story See Mr. J. R. Boyd
at the bank. He's got a "sack full"
and is always ready to pass-them out.
