Powell, 66, appears to have been doing on the WPA in Granville Coun ty is simplv to pick up a little extra money and to find some outlet for her energy. Her son Charles G. Powell, $5,500-a-year chairman ot the State Unemployment Compensation Com mission, says that she is very active but that .she is well provided for and shouldn't have done it. He intends to pay back the money she drew. Well this is wholly understandable, though nonetheless embarrassing. The lady should have known better, in spite of the philosophy that has developed in this county under the New Deal the philosophy of helping a sucker to part with his money. Everybody's doing it, Mrs. Powell probably reasoned; so why shouldn't she? But when it comes to the agency in Oxford which certifies persons for work relief, that is a horse of another color. That agency is bound to have been aware that this genteel client did not need relief and was by no stretch of sym pathy entitled to it. And if widowed mothers of sons drawing $5,500 salaries can get relief when they ask for it, the suspicion is aroused that a great many people are getting it who don't deserve it. Charlotte News. FINES ( REEK AND CRA11TREE STILL IN THE MUD The citizens of Fines Creek and Crabtree aw as a whole soft-spoken, mild tempered folks. They have enduring natures and tolerate more than perhaps they sometimes should. At any rate, they have every right now to raise their voices, roll up their sleeves and demand action. For years those hard working, 'heavy tax payers have been wading muddy roads to get in and out of their community. To relate the number of promises that state olhciids and highway men have made the citi zens of the section would fill several columns. The people of the community have "voted right" m everj- election, and have been promisee! a bet ier road. Yet the road is not built. As recent as April 11th of Uh is year, mem ijers of the County Commissioners and others went 'to the district member of the state high way commission, and in company with engineers aid others, the Haywood group were "assured immediate action." """""An impassable mud hole was filled. The rest remains as it was. The people of that end of the county are paying their part into the over-flowing state itiiglbw treasury. They are due a better road. 'They tare been treated as red-headed step -cbSdrwlonc enough. They have gone along on promises until they believe them no more. It is not fair to them, or to the county to continue to keep them in the mud. K 'And now, since there are ample public funds, both federal and state, we see no reason why ilhar section should be ignored any longer. r ANOTHER POTATO MARKET OPEN Potato growers in Pasquotank, and other Eastern North Carolina counties, report that J8 jr cent of the seed potatoes planted this year Vnv certified stock from Maine, but that the acre- yield was lowered due to blight, stem-end ra aid blackleg. A report from that area says thai the growers plan to change seed sources . nKxt.vRar - . ,, 31 seems to The Mountaineer, rnai msm. friere is a good lead on some profitable business. OrtT&Rd seed potatoes can be grown here as wdl as in Maine. And Eastern Carolina is a big Mrket for seed potatoes, and if proper y d. it seems that a profitable outlet could be rtcwle for Haywood farmers down on the lLnBie coast. uiviMC W WINGS OVER CHINA Last week, Haywood County along with the mi or the United States, rallied to the call for funds for suffering Chinese. Rice bowl dances and parties were held, and thousands of dollars were contributed. . j This week, the New York Times, carried an authentic report, that since the warfare develop ment against China last July, export licenses have been issued for the export to Japan ot American aviation material valued at $7,41o.- 189.01. When standing afar and looking on sudh.a complicated question as the Far East situation, it appears that we Americans are somewhat -two-faced" or rather inconsistent, to say the ilere we are at home sending money to help Chinese who are suffering from wounds caused bjr bombs dropped from American-made planes. It must have been a fisherman who coined the expression: "Anticipation is more than half tSss fun of any event." ANOTHER 'VERSION A Yankee was talking to a Confederate Veteran. Asked the Yank, "I suppose you al ways vote Democratic." "Sure," said the son of the South, "I vote Democratic. My father voted Democratic, my grandfather voted Democratic. . . , But if you damned Yankees don't quit voting Democratic, the country's going to the dogs!" Cobb County Ga.. Times.

'f 2 Within the last few months there has been, in this country, several instances in which men have committed murder and have escaped the payment of any penalty because of their ability to employ attorneys who based their defense on the fact that the murderer was insane at the time of tine act. It then became the duty of the jury to decide whether or not the murderer was insane two weeks after the act. In three recent instances, in this country this was done and, although the defendant shot down in cold blood his victim, he was set free without having to serve even so much as a jail sentence. It is things like tJhis that create disrespect for law. We can teach respect for law in every school and from every pulpit and in every newspaper in the land and destroy the effect of our teach ings by one such case. To the mass of people a murderer is a murderer, and a thief is a thief, and a kidnaper is a kidnaper, and a rapist is a rapist, and all the fine-spun, high-flown theor ies of the smartest attorneys in the land are not going to make them think any differently. The way to create respect for law is to make the law deserve respect. J. E. "Movie" Massie, took time off several years ago and traveieu 3,000 miles to the west coast and to see how movies were made.

Dr. Robert Peter Walker, is one of the few men who cany umbrellas.

The neat red and white traffic signs just erected on Main Street and several side streets, in town, setting forth parking and turning laws, are proving to be good reminders to motorists to do exactly what the law prohibits. Rotarians never miss an opportu nity to give due recognition to "new papas" in the club. Last week, the ribbon banner with "New Papa" in bold letters was pinned on Robert "Bob" County Agent Smithwick, while a nippled bottle of milk was set before him as Dale Stentz sang an appropriate "baby" song.

Superintendent of the city water depart, ment, Oscar L. Briggs, publicly states that the community is using about a million gallons ot water a day. It is interesting to know that, but there is one thing sure, there is not near enough of that million .gallons going down bathtub drains. From an authorty on lightning, I learned that electrical storms occur before noon, as a rule, do lots more damage than do those that come in the afternoon.

BUT UNDERSTOOD In the book of Mark is told the story of Christ's retreat to the Garden of Gethsemane, where, accom panied bv his three chosen disciples he endeavored to prepare himself for the ordeal of the crow, rew pas pages in scripture reveal more of the human side of he Christ than does this. Though there was the natural shrinking from the cross, as much, if no t oc of the human side of the Christ was revealed .n his de sire for human companionship. W hat pownant yearn ing is revealed, as three times he comes back to the three keeping disciples. They, lacking understanding, slept on What could have contributed more to the. darkness of that hour?

What he desired was human companionship, human sympathy, and understanding, and fellowship. We wonder as we. read. these tragic lines ; that the dis ciples could be so blind, so thoughtless, so heedless. But how different is the world today T How often do we fail to see the need for understanding and sympathy T ..There are many burdens that might be made lighter and many ways that could be made easier among those with whom we come in daily contact-if we but understood-if we but stopped to think.
