C, under Act of March 3, 1870 Directives Vs. Law (The Charlotte Observer) The Senate Judiciary Committee has asked for $10,000 with which to carry through its investigation into the substitution of government by orders from Federal agencies for government by law. A subcommittee has announced that it has discovered that President Roosevelt has issued, since 1933, 2,600 executive orders and, to use its own language, "some of which have no con stitutional or statutory basis." Congress should know, for the safeguarding of its own guaranteed rights, to what extent the American people have been put under this form of government, and should, when it finds out, quickly take steps to make whatever cor rections are necessary to recover its own auth ority in this field of law-making. We are in danger in this country of losing our inherited rights as a people by our mere failure to demand that our Federal government function according to the Constitution. This Constitution gives the President certain sure and well-defined rights. It is not otherwise in the case of Congress, the legislative branch of our government, nor with the courts, the judicial wing. Once it is permitted that these three separate and distinct bodies stray away from their func tions as clearly prescribed by the Constitution, the nation is in a fair way of doing some swap ping of fundamentals for a mess of pottage.

Look back, away back, over that sandy ridge to the hill over yonder. Yes, you see that little log house on the next hill. That is the public school of another day. It was built with tax money, money refunded to the state by the Federal government by order of President Andrew Jackson. Many of our communities got their first schools that way. I do not know whether school- houses were built everywhere, back then, but in every section of my ac quaintance there was a school with in reach of all, even though you might have to walk several miles, and had to pay some tuition. Miss Lou Ray, daughter of Peter Ray of the Jackson Springs com munity taught the first "free" school there in the Johnson house, which was located on property which is now owned by the Jackson Springs company, or its assigns. The John son family moved away, and the log house they left was about like all the school houses. It was near the center of our "civilization." So, soon afterwards this was where our school was taught in the late summer and fall of 1873. Miss Ray seemed competent to teach, but that could not be said of all who taught public schools. Most of the teachers were not well pre pared. Later examinations were made more rigid. I have never be lieved that all certificates issued to teachers are earned. If I under stand the situation today, certifi cates to teach are issued to an ap plicant having had the opportunity TO KNOW. Anyway, there is complaint in most all communities which may be due in larger measure to habit, that to real cause for complaint. However, I do know that both teachers and populace are beteer informed than in former years. There were no schools in many communities, only in the more pro gressive communities were there schools. We had more schools than we could attend, for our parents were not able vo pay tuition. In some communities not in all, the children were required to study at home. This grew into a habit in some families. I The children made considerable pro gress, and when there was school, these were in advance of the average. Being poor is not as bad as being rich. Being forced is more devel oping than indolence superinduced by self sufficiency. The names which have becoxe household words in America are the names of men who have demonstrated that poverty, and lack of opportunity is not an in seperable obstacle to success. All humanity should abolish the word CAN'T. i I may not be a competent judgej but I have had the opportunity to appeal to educated men for assis tance, and a sandhiller, who had no first-rate opportunities for the ac cumulation of information, was by far of more assistance to me, and many others, than any one else of more fame and prominence. "Know and know that you know" is within the reach of all. in a lecture to the School of Hygiene and Public Health of Jones Hop kins University, prove this point, Dr. Hamilton says. . Dr. Rankin pointed out three ways in which the addftion or improve ment of these hospitals wili also bring better medical services lo the people of rural North Carolina. These points are: The hospi'al at tracts the young, highly competent physician with from two to five years post-graduate hospital experi ence. Second, the hospital improves an inadequate medical service by mu- the physicians in the community. Third, a rural hospital greatly im proves inadequatey medical cars, es pecially for those of limited means.

Although the big fireplace was filled with lightwood knots and '. e had a roaring fire, burning one side of while the other side was cold. It was not a good place to accumulate know ledge. This house was built above the head of a sandhill branch, where a spring gushed forth an abundant stream of very good water. We had to go to the spring for a drink when we wanted it, and that was often. A fellow could hear and see some remarkably amusing things. One day while I was teaching the home school, a small boy, with his feet dangling from a bench too high for him, sat where he could see up the neighborhood road, and suddenly he would look at me, and then again up the road, and his smile was as bread as his face. At length he jumped frof that seat and came trotting up to me with the information: "Pappy has come." His father had brought a large load of wood for the school house firres. Hospitals Would Improve Services . Adoption of the recommendation made by the Governor's Commission on Hospital and Medical Care which calls for the building of rural hos pitals and health centers in all coun ties not adequately equipped at pres ent will also bring with it a num ber of other important medical ser vices, says Dr. C. H. Hamilton, head of the rural sociology department at State college. If the legislature carries out this recommendation, it would mean new hospitals in at least 20 counties. and the enlargement of those in at least 50 other counties. This recom- mendaition is based on a well dem onstrated fact: Rural hospitals da attract more doctors to rural com munities. Results of a survey, conducted by Dr. W. S. Rankin, trustee of the Duke Endowment and director of its hospital section, and reported by him tiplying the professional capacity of FOR SALE PAGE TRUST CO.

Some of the Many Features of the GAINEY TOBACCO CURER This Burner is Built to Last. 100 heavy Cast iron construc tion. No small or delicate parts to break, rust or burn away. No wicks to clean and replace. Under ordinary care, will last indefinitely. No Open Flame in the Barn. Designed to be as nearly fire proof as is possible to make it. It is significant that no Gainey equipped barn has ever been destroyed by fire. Uses Your Present Wood Furnace Flues. No Sweating. Air for burner is drawn from within barn. A steady circulation of air is thereby maintained throughout the barn, effectively removing all moisture, and exhausting it through the flues and stack, to the outer air. No "Sitting-Up" at Night. Visit your barn once or twice a day, to check temperature. Once fuel valve is set, no further attention is required. Burner is controlled by a small, simple float-valve unit, conveniently located outside of barn. Tem perature is regulated by the moving of a small lever on this unit. After this is set. float valve automatically regulates flow of oil to burner. Result no extremes in temperature, and no smoking. Economical in Operation. Owing to wide differences in barn construction and condition, and varying practices in curing, it is impossible to give exact fuel consumption. Wide ex perience indicates that th average barn requires from 75 to 125 gallons No. 1 fuel oil per curing. At the prevailing price of oil, this will amount to from $7.50 to $12.50 per cur ing. Under any circumstances it pays big dividends to go over your barn each year, and make it close and tight. Your burner will operate better; you will get better cures, and you will save money in fuel. Because this burner will maintain an even temperature over a long period of time, and because there is no danger of sweating, a Gainey Equipped Barn will turn out barn after barn of evenly cured, high grade leaf, which will bring a premium on the market. After the expense and trouble of growing a crop of fine tobacco, you cannot afford to lower its quality by haphazard curing methods. Solve this problem by installing a GAINEY TOBACCO CURER NOW. Every burner sold on a money-back guarantee. Contact your local dealer and place your order for burners to equip your barns without delay.
