I do not see how we can escape
getting into a war. Those heathens
are pressing th^ cause, and
charging falsely about certain

The annual fund drive of the Boy Scouts of America is
being conducted in Hoke County from October 1 through
October 15 this year.
Today more than ever, due to the uncertainty of world
1 conditions, the molding of our nation’s youth is becoming
paramount It is the duty of each of us in Hoke County to see
that our young people become good citizens, and we must
lay the groundworic to that end.
Every family in Hoke County can take part in this drive,
as no contribution is too small.
The local committee is mailing to each family a letter
setting forth their aims, together with a return envelope in
which donations may be placed.
Be an individualist—let the dictates of your Conscience
guide your contribution. Let us build the bodies and minds
of these young boys, so that at some future date we may all
have a part in this everlasting work that is being done to
build a better and more understanding America.

like to ^eet poasft>le economie®
find themsehfes equipped to do
little except talk about it.
Another ieuon for the ^eater

It is almost an iiiq;>o$sft>Uity to
deal with ignorant heathen peo
ple. But we should deal honestly
with them, and I believe we are.
It is noticeable that the long-

look a lot better than the few
we have trying to live in these
parts.
This column has stated more
than once that singing is as mean
ingful and essential to Christian
worship as prayer. And “prayer
was apiMDinted to convey the bless
ings God designed to give. Long
as they live should Christians
pray, for only while tiliey pray,
they live.”
True, all prayers are not sincere,
and are merely beating the air,
but everybody should be in earn
est and sing and pray to their
soul’s delight.
At Bethesda Homecoming Sim-
day I saw Will Pleasants for the
first time since he pitched for
Raeford against Laurinburg about
forty years ago. I saw many others
also, among them Walking Billy
Covington of Rockingham.
Uncle Jake Clark, colored, av
eraged 200 rails a day, and I
never knew him to fail. He was
not a strong man, but was a judge
of timber.
I remember attending a meeting
of Fayetteville iE*re*ytery at
Bethesda Church in September
1®72. I do not suppose there was
another in the crowd Sunday who
was there in 1872.

But descendants of those good
people were there Sunday. In fact,
nearly a thousand of them.
A Dumber of them report tbat
many of their constltuwits are be
ginning to {MMQciate tiie fprtii-
comix^ tax Increase with the
^uurp rise in ; federal spending.
That sort of j^blic feeling is apt
to make a mfe who depends on
votes for a living nervous. But,
with both the tax rise and spend
ing increase now practically a
matter of record, about all he can
do at this point is talk about the
need for more government eco
nomy.
When the books of this Con
gressional session are closed as
scheduled next month, it wiU be
seen that Congress succeeded only
slightly in reducing the total
budget requests of the various
government departments for the
current ftecal yeor.
Moreover, some of the training
almost certainly will be nullified
by the grantijig of supplemental
or fxtra approbations before the
fiscal year ends next June 30. If
that doesn’t happen, it will be the
first time in many years.
While its use sometimes is ne
cessary for special reasons, the
supplemental apiMXJpriation also is
a handy -devise for appearing to
economize but not actually doing
so.
Generally speaking, the public
isn’t aware or loses sight of that.
Neither, does it realize that
much of the federal budget each
year is for spending which Con
gress has 'authorized in previous
years/
For example,- Congress passes
a law authorizing the construction
of a dam which will cost, ©ay,
$250 million. But it does not ap
propriate $260 million for the dam
the year tl^at the ai^thorization
law is passed, because the work
that will ibe don on the dam ffiat
first year will cost only, say, $4
million. So it appropriates $4) mil
lion the first year and then, dur-
prqpriat^dDs be xnade.to
griaMively pay ott the balance of
$246 imiUhm M that dam-or, wbidi
is highly imlikely, work on the
dam must be stopped by repeal of
that original auttiorizatlon. law.
What if Congress'was required
to appropriate the entire $250 mil
lion for the dam that first year?
Chairman Cannon (IWMo.) of
the ifibuse Appropriations Com
mittee believes that In such case
Congress probably would be In.-
clined to approve less new dams
and other lmg-range spending
projecte. '
Rep. Taber (IR-N.Y.), top-rank
ing minority member of the Ap
propriations Committee, agrees.
Congress should present the cost
picture of a new project as large
as it actually is, says Taber,
“rtber than in small doses.”
Those taxpayers who, accord
ing to their members in Congress,
are beginning to associate federal
expenditures and taxes, may now
be realizing that those ‘'small
doses” Taber speaks of finally add
up to very large ones
If such a feeling should become
widespread, there may be less
talk and more action in Congress
regarding federal spending

I have no idea why the states
men bf our great country did no
thing about “sound money”, and
in^^e middle 1660’s, President
Grover Cleveland began an in-
sistant battle for the adoption of
the gold standard.
I cast my first vote in 1880, and
I have voted only for the Demo
cratic Party, but as a paper dollar
or a silver dollar each brought
as much rations as a gold dollar,
I could see but little advantage
to the welfare of man in the gold
standard. \
The Bible gives the best stand
ards by which we may safely go.
Do unto others as you would wish
them to do unto you. That is a
very satisfactory rule of action.

RAEFORD, N. C.
This Session of Congress has
featured a good deal more talk
than action about federal economy.
There is nothing particularly
unusual about that.
' However, there has been more
talk about economy in this ses
sion of Congress than usual.
One reason is that this Congress
has approved spending at a rate
higher than any, ever previously
known in the country’s peace
time history.
This has caused considerable
concern among those members
who really worry about the fu
ture of the country’s economy.
But most of the increased spend
ing is for military or related pur-
