tate Salaries
With the announcement of the large
iiount of Fedeiai tmuh that would be
: ailable to Noitn Carolina lot road buikh
J after the war, cotr.es t he rather d.scoii
?ting statement that the state may not
able to use the money advantageously
' . e to the fact that thov are short on help,
l: rticularly m the crigeering department,
; As everyone knows the entire country is
ort of trained men, especially those with
i jhnical training, that however, ,is not the
, :i mplete answer. We certainly do not advo
'i te the reckless spending of the public's
; Jney, nor do we !)ebeve m excessively high
P,' iaries. However if competent men are to
j ! ? retained in important jobs, it is poor
'bnomy to hold salaries down to points
j t below what others are paying for the
Ji'me class of work.
Ij;lforth Carolina has lost a lot of valuable
ifsri in many different departments, simply
l; ("cause there was such a wide difference
V;; what they were bmg paid m North Caro-J;a-
and what they could get elsewhere,
'at they felt that in justice to their own
"rsonal interests, they could not afford to
' jiy on in North Carolina, regardless of
j ' W' much they regretted leaving the state.
T lAt a recent meeting of the State High
ly Commission it was voted to give state
Jhway employes, who are making $3,600
'i : less : per year, an increase in salary of
J "ee per cent. And increase of that
- ,'jount, when living expenses have gone
jH)' enormously, is not likely to be received
, I ,th a great deal of enthusiasm by state
:Miployes, many of whom have worked
'.thfully for years for less pay than they
I 'aid have gotten elsewhere.

How much do we appreciate
sleep? That is the one time when
all men put their lives in the
hand of Almighty God. Good and
bad, rich and poor all must dur
ing sleep commit their lives to the
care of divinely appointed agen
cies. Sleep marks the end of a period
of adventure and anxiety. For
the child it marks
the close of a day
of play and ad-

lo bed! Yet when
he is once in il,
if his is the priv
ilege of a happy
home, it is a
place of delight
ful refuge, and
o should il be
for all of us.
There are still some old-fashioned
parents who take lime for a
bed-time story; mothers who sing
their babies to sleep, and teach
them to pray the simple prayers
of childhood to a loving Heavenly
Father. Blessed are the children
of such parents
Children were once human be
ings in miniature Now many
psychologists have made them a
race apart, to be governed by
special laws. Books and maga
zine articles have been written
about them. Training rules have
been set down often by bachelors
and spinsters. Lullabies are not
to be tolerated Santa Claus ami
the fairiPS have
"so as not to encourage lying."
Poor experts and poor children!
The memor ies and impressions
of childhood remain with us to
the grave. Parents who fail to
tell their children I he agpless

We think that Bishop Oxnam, represent
ing the Council of Churches, when asked
by a Cairo reporter what he thought of the
publicity given the camps winch lie had
visited, gave a very fine answer, as we be
long to the latter group, referred to above.
The Bishop called it "a revolting neces
sity." He said that he had visited the
places in a skeptical mood, but he had seen
them and pone awav fullv convinced tl.st 1 would have such a time Hettine
nothing had been exaggerated. i a'TUuVroii 'him in 5

'Sometimes I think that amateur
reporters an' writers brings a sort
ov a freshness what adds interest
to newsapers, an' they ort fer to
be encouraged," said the Old
Codger this morning. "The reg
ular fellers air apt ter git into
ruts and not see the finest fruit for
the trees, or vice versa, an' to
overlook the strange an' unusual
fer the stock stories what must be
printed. That's one reason, in
addition to ther war, why so many
gals air a-goin' inter journalism.
They kain't be static. They like
new styles in news stories as they
do in hats. Often the dullest
writers air reportin' ov religious

after he had put a plate of food

here he is going to get even with

but the fellow with me said I was
all wrong, that he didn't hold any
grudge, so he swapped plates with
me It didn't kill him, so I figur

in my rights and he had forgiven
me, and his politeness was the
Way he was showing me. Which
all goes to show people are mighty
good about forgiving when they
know they are in the wrong."
