They are new every mornina: great is thy fn'thfiiluess Lamenta tions 3:22, 23, DANGERS TO CHILDREN The kidnaping and murder of the six-yt.'ir-old Florida boy made headlines in all newspap ers, and furnished a topic for conversation in every home during the past week. No mercy has been spared the young "ial1 who has confessed to the horrible crime. Citi zens have been free to express themselves about a person who would do such a crime. A man with such a mean streak in him should not be iftown any mercy, and this newspaper shares the hope of millions in that the kidnaper will get the full penalty of the law. We agree with The Charlotte Observer, when it said : "American fathers and mothers know of the anguish of heart suffered by the parents of the beautiful' Cash lad vUliose body has been found and whose only ease from .tfuir anxiety doubtfully comes from the now sure knowledge that the child is dead. "And there will be general understanding and appreciation of the feeling of fear that must steal over millions of other fathers and moth ers lest some one of their children may. also, at .some time fall victim to these beasts of the kidnaping species. "But sudh possibility is so extremely re mote as to hardly .justify the uneasiness being felt. . "Thei'e are other dangers to the limbs and lives of little children infinitely more proximate, realistic and imminent dangers attendant up on the habit of roller-skating, playing baseball or riding bicycles on the streets." ; PRUNING THE WRONG BRANCH ' We scratch our head and wonder what it is all about when we learn that Congress has ap propriated over $3,7000,000,000 for relief, and at tihe same time, the appropriation for the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been slash ed. Last year the Bureau, better known as G-Men, 'recovered in property and fines plus sav ings to the government, $41,000,000. The cost of the bureau for the same period was $5,800,- 000. . , Aside from the cost, we should bear in mind, that there are over 4,500,000 criminals in this country, according to J. Edgar Hoover. There are three and a half criminals to every college graduate and right now crime is costing $120 a year for every man, woman and child. It is interesting to note, that thirty per cent of all persons listed as desperate criminals have been paroled, some as many as ten times. With all these facts put into the balance, we find an increasing need for the services of the C.-Men. instead of curtailment. DEMOCRACY IN DANGER The huge spending program proposed in Washington carries such seeds of destruction. The democratic processes of government which have created the American system of living can only be maintained when responsibility is de centralized. Whenever Congress votes three or four billion dollars to one man to spend, it has thrown Democratic government overboard. Such a huge sum of money in the hands of the Execu tive overpowers the legislative and judicial functions of our government. It opens wide to be applied all over the country in such a way as to make cowards of our legislators and every one whose opinion differs with those of the ad ministration. If such ihuge sums are needed to prevent collapse in America, their expenditure should be delegated to Congress and the States. Tremendous sums of money have been spent in the last four years and the country is no better off. New floods of Federal expenditure will not improve matters, It is doubtful if they will even help the situation temporarily, but this expenditure will leave us saddled with a debt greater than has ever been carried by the citi zens of the republic. Those in command in Washington seem to think that debt is wealth and that an increase in debt will mean an in crease of wealth. Now, the real truth of the matter is that debt is trouble. Everyone of us has had enough experience with debt, either personally or through our friends, to know that debt means trouble. It brings in its wake lost homes, discouragement, defalcations, gene ral softening of moral fiber, unless it is met head on and paid off regularly and promptly. Debt for the nation will spell trouble just as surely as it spells trouble for the individual unless we get ourselves to paying it off as prom ptly as possible. The individual must pull in his belt and make continual sacrifices to pay off his debt. The nation will have to follow the same course or debt will lead the country into real trouble such as destruction of our democratic processes of government, or wars or other na tional calamity. The American people must let their Senators and Congressmen know, first that they do not believe in piling up any more debt, and. second that if further expenditures are voted, responsibility for them must be plac ed in the hands of the States and Congress. Federation News. THE OTHER SIDE OF CROP CONTROL Farmers of the nation have been, and still are concerned with the. enforcement of "crop control." The news items of the week, would indicate that mother nature is taking a drastic hand in the plan: "Continued rain, cool weather and some hail throughout eastern North Carolina have hindered the growth of cotton and tobacco, and most fields are "grassy." Another item: Hog cholera is causing considerable trouble in Bertie County, causing the county agent to vaccinate 300 hogs last week." We lose interest in a candidate when he apologizes for his candidacy by saying that his friends prevailed upon him to run. We like to see a man come right out and say that he is run ning because he wants the job for the salary, or the honor, or tone opportunity of service that it offers. TEAR DOWN ADVERTISING SIGNS A declaration destined to bring results in terms of farm beautification is suggested in this significant message from Miss Lillian Keller, home improvement specialist of the University of Tennessee Extension Service: "During 1938 one of the major objectives of the better homes movement is to carry on an intensive campaign to remove signs from farm fences and barns. No city home owner thinks of allowing anyone to tack an advertise ment on his garage or fence, yet farm people have their premises covered with tin, paper, and cardboard signs. These do not add to the at tractiveness of eitiher the farm, home, or high way Our program calls for elimination, so far as possible, of this ever increasing flood of cheep, unpaid advertising that lines our highways from town to town, and to beautify the approaches to the towns and cities with grass, shrubs, and na tive trees." The above program is one that might well be carried on in every state. Such signs are not only destructive of beauty but may be actual traffic hazards, often obstructing the view of a driver and leading to accidents. Miss Salhe F. Hill in The Progressive Farmer.

It was fun for all except Joe, who per spired as if in a Turkish bath.

TWO M I N UTE SERMON BY THOMAS HASTWELL TWO SPECIALISTS The other day I met a friend of mine who had just returned from a visit to a great specialist in an effort to discover the reason for his failing health. The only thing the specialist advised was some changes in my friend's diet and eating habits. After following the specialist's advice for six weeks my friend was amazed and delighted at the results. He felt better, and more efficient, and his whole outlook upon life was mors hopeful. The conclusion obviously is that if one is to live at the highest point physically, and enjoy the price less blessing of good health, one must follow common sense rules and refrain from eating the things that are known to be injurious, and eat the things that supply the elements the system needs. The same thing is true of our spiritual lives. If we are to enjoy spiritual health and know the blessing of an efficient, spiritual life.the soul must be nourished with the things that contribute to its life and well being. Christ, the Master Specialist, has prescribed all the rules necessary for us to build up perfect spiritual strength. Like the specialist who advised my ailing friend, Christ cannot compel obed ience. The individual may do as he chooses, but the reward for obedience to spiritual needs Is just as sure and just as satisfying as the reward of abounding physical health is to the one who obeys the rules of physical health. , j Whitener Prevost, mayor and secretary-treasurer of the baseball team, sought moral and financial support in behalf of the Manufacturers, and timidly and half-heartedly promis ed more "wins.

He was so interested in numerating every building now under construction, that he forgot to say building and loan was playing an important part in them. The beautification program is well underway, and the Hazelwood Scouts, according to C. E. English, are busi ly engaged in beautifying the high ways leading into Hazelwood. A WPA project is laying a sidewalk on the west side of Main street, in addi tion to paving the streets along the northern section of the town. Since the streets have been paved, a num ber of homes have been painted. The club at Hazelwood is well named, yet it does not exactly fit them, in that besides being boost ers, they are hard civic workers.
