C* W-f der set of Msrch Sid, 1878. | v THE SHAMMJSS AT OUR GATE We have been a lot oil energy sympathizing with the people J of China in their troubles with in-1 ternal bandits and external enemies. I A W} at folks are wasting tears over J the tribulations of some of the op-1 pressed peoples and races in various j European countries. We would not I wish to be thought unsympathetic I with any human troubles, but we have a feeling that we Americans are over looking a situation right at our own I front door which is more serious and I shocking than any of those we have! mentioned. We refer to the situation in Cuba. Thirty-five years ago the United! States went to war with Spain for the I liberation of Cuba, because of the! tales of horrow that came from that! unhappy island. The Cuban people! were bring exploited, cruelly treated, imprisoned and even killed --by the Spanish government under "Butcher"! Weyler. The sympathy of. the whole J American people was aroused and we J took Cuba away from'Spain and gave i it to the Cuban people. Cuba has been in constant trouble! ever since. Conditions in the past! year or two have grown so grave that | even the best friends of Cuba are! demanding that the United States] send an army to the island to take over the government and restore or der. Under the regime of President Machado, which amounts to complete one-man dictatorship, free speech is prohibited, newspapers have been sup pressed, thousands of persons sus pected of being opposed to the gov ernment have been openly slain with out trial or have mysteriously disap peared, the nation is bankrupt and lawlessness prevails everywhere. The Government at Washington has done well in sending ilunmer Welles as Ambassador to Cuba. Mr. Welles is one of the aces of our di plomatic corps. He knows Latin Americans as few others do. He is not easy to fooL We hope that he will succeed in bringing orier out of . chaos without resort to force. But armed intervention, in Cuba is among the possibilities. THE TURN OF THE TIDE Prices have begun to rise. That is 0 I the best news the country has had in I I three years. The rise has started I where it ought to start; with the basic j products of agriculture. Wheat, cot- a ton, corn, hogs, tobacco, rice, dairy! products, have all started upward.! Some are rising faster than others,! but all are showing an upward tend-1 ency. We do not think that this is merely I I another "false alarm." We believe I I that factors have been brought into I I play which will put prices up still I I higher, until we reach somewhere I I near the level of 1926. That is what I I those in charge of the nation's desti-1 nies are aiming at we are told. That I would mean that the average of com-1 modity prices would be more than I double present prices, in some instan- I ces, half to two-thirds higher in oth- a era Starting with the products of ;?gri-1 culture, the rise in prices is bound to I I extend to industrial products. Fori I when the fanner beghu to get a prof-1 I it from his operations he can begfh I I to pay up Ins back taxes and mort-1 I gage interest, to buy the commodities I I ha and his family require- Money! thus put into circulation enables oth-1 ers, in turn, to buy at prices which ? mean a profit to the seller. That! mean* that manufacturers can start! op their factories again. I We have never felt there was much I to the argument that people have! I stopped waiting to bey things. The! only reason they have stopped buy- I I ing is lack. at nana? to buy with. I I There ia rnt and never has been I I "overproduction" in. the eenaa that! I tesTls ,? %ijiljiiifl wants!

'.';? With t^eae remarks, Mr. Commis sioners and people of the Town of Fanuville I turn from the moral ne cessities of the Town to the matters of economic adjustment. You will recognise Mr. that all specific recommendations that follow therein are based on suggestions or Linstroctions already made by you to me. "' We are not considering our politi cal safety. Public officials too often think of their future elections rather than the present term. Your Board of Commissioners, and I know where of I speak, is going to be the govern ing beard of your town for the next two years?and I will put forth every effort to carry out their instructions.. Our duties will not be delegated and we will willingly assume responsibili ty for our acts, some of which we know will be mistakes. We recognize that taxes have remained high while incomes have been low. We recognize that government has not retrenched on a parallel with private business. It is our desire to make adjustments in keeping with the program being launched by our truly great Presi dent. Whereupon, I make the following recommendations : That annual salaries of Commis sioners be reduced from $90 to $75. That the office of Street Supervisor maintained at a salary of $50.00 per month be eliminated. That the office of Town Attorney maintained at annual salary of $100 be eliminated. That the office of Assistant Chief of Police maintained at a salary of $110.00 per month be eliminated. That the job of Town hall janitor maintained at a salary-of $2.50 per week be eliminated. All of the duties of the officers above eliminated could be easily shifted to other employees of the Town without any additional expense. That the salary of Chief of Police be reduced from $125.00 per, month to $100.00 per month and that he be assigned whatever duties in connec tion with street supervision and col lection of taxes that the Board might see fit to impose without additional salary; that he be allowed a sum not to exceed $15.00 per month for gas and oil that he may use while in the employ of the Town; that he be al lowed a sum not to exceed $50.00 for the entire year for the purchase of uniform. That the salary of your night po liceman be maintained at $100.00 per month; that he be allowed not to ex ceed $10.00 per month for gas and oil used while in the employment of the Town of Farmville; that he be allowed a sum not to exceed $50.00 per year for uniforms. That if after the investigation you think that the situation warrants it, then an assistant be hired for the night policeman to be paid a sum not to exceed $50.00 per month; that he be allowed nothing for gas and oil and nothing for a uniform. That the salary of your clerk, treas urer, and tax collector be reduced from $150.00 per month to $125.00 per month, and that he be assigned the duties of listing taxes without any further remuneration. That the salary of the superintend ent of your water and light depart ment be reduced from $225.00 per month to $175.00 and that he be al lowed a sum not to exceed $25.00 per At- -*? ?J ~:i ? monui iur gas aiiu on uueu uy mm while in the employment of the Town. That the salary of your fire chief and truck driver for the fire depart ment be reduced from $20.00 per month each to $12.50 per month each. That the salary of your health of ficer, meat and dairy inspector be reduced from $75.00 per month to $50.00 per month. That the salaries of the two engi neers of the .eater and light depart ment be reduced from $27.00 per wedk to $25.00 per week. That the two firemen of that de partment be reduced from $20.25 per week to $15.00 per week. That the lineman of that depart ment be reduced from $18.00 per week to $12.50 per week, and that the sal ary of his helper should be increased from $0.00 per week to $7.50 per wfeek. That no person be definitely- em ployed before June 1, 1938 and that all employees whose offices have not been abolished be continued until June 1, 1983 at the salary schedule to be adopted here tonight That any applications submitted in writing with references prior to May 20, 1933 be considered by you with a view to obtaining for the Town the best and most competent employees that your salary schedule can main tain. No person should make applica tion who is not:.-well-qualified and sufficiently competent to handle all of the duties of the office for which s tou^ apply owned by the Town, ali but one truck, and to otherwise reduce the expense of operating and maintaining same to the minimum.* With reference to the car used by the Superintendent of the Light and Water department that it be sold to' said superintendent at a nominal sum and that he be al lowed the sum as set forth above for its operation. That the mercantile agency for re tailing electric supplies be abolished upon disposal of the merchandise now on hand. ? That you investigate the moral and sanitary conditions cf your town and pass such ordinances as you deem ne cessary for the health and safety of the people. >?. That you scrutinize closely all'ex penditures, both large and. small with the view to reducing the total expen ditures for the next two years to \he That no purchase; be make exdept by approval of the entire Board." of Commissioners when the amount ex ceeds ^100.00 and ;fdr no^ lessei J | *v hich reason they should be kept Isti States ?ft thC United That a copy of these reccmmenda :ions be ;filed with the minutes of. his I .

' Mrs. Doggett said that a program should, first, be worth the time spent on -it? sec ond, should bib interesting; should be -unified In purpose; and should be pliable. She also said that an occasional "members' forum*' was good and that outside speakers some times added variety to a program. I It was reported at the afternoon session that 286 delegates had reg-1 istered for the convention. ;? After installing iMrs. R. H. Latham of Winston-Salem as president^ then Federation closed its 31st annual convention last night.

" Banquet Final Feature The final feature of the assembly was the annual federation banquet I in the ballroom of the Sir Walter hotel, where headquarters have been made. MVs, J. M. Hobgood of Farm ville, presided and after a program of varied entertainment presented I the new officers, elected in the I morning who are as follows: Mrs. I Guy Masten, of Winston-Salem, cor- j responding secretary; Miss Adelaide Fries, of Winston-Salem, trustee and Mrs. Hobgrbod, retiring president who was elected General Federation di rector. More than 300 attended the banquet Opening yfith the invocation By Mrs. John T. Hollister, the dinner was featured by assembly singing, a mixed quartet composed of Mrs. H. A.

A chance is at our fingers' ends to get our minds sharpened. A nation ally known speaker will make a three I?1a?-?:?^??- ? ?? n I day visit iiere, starting may &t, ana he will remain May 25 and 26. This man, the Rev. Dr. Edward Lodge Curran, has a dynamic personality. He is a graduate of Columbia Univer sity and of Brooklyn Law School of St Lawrence University. Dr. Cur ran's long and successful radio career brought him, in one instance in 1931, in a national hookup for 26 weeks over WEAF. His 1932 radio address es over WLWL brought before His listeners important everyday topics. Dr. Curran is. president of the In ternational Catholic Truth Society, and he was formerly dean of Cathe dral College, Brooklyn, one of the largest educational institutions on Long Island. . This three-day treat which we are to receive from Dr. Curran, will be a sort of Chautauqua affair, although there will be absolutely no charges and no collections. Dr. Curran finds his greatest-pleasure in giving enjoy ment to others and in helping men and women to improve their condi tion in lift. Nobody should miss these lectures. It is a wonderful chance I that does not always pass our door. After a wholesome talk that will hold a very special interest for each of us and that will give us a new view of life, Dr. Curran will answer questions. Let's have a gala crowd for this unusual event. Our com munity will be the better for Dr. Cur ran's having passed this way. If it is worth while to learn new methods of planting, harvesting or dressmaking, it is still more worth while to give these three evenings to learning about better ways of using our minds. Our minds will be filled with noble and beautiful thoughts. After the lecture Dr. Curran will distribute booklets which will give more information about the points on which he has lectured. Remember the dates, May 24, 25 and 26. Everybody welcome. ?? ?
