THE ELKIN TRIBUNE Published' Every Thursday by ELK PRINTING COMPANY, Inc. Elkin, N. C. THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1938 Entered at the post office at Elkin, N. C., as second-class matter. C. 8. FOSTER...- -Praddeat H. r. L4TFOON .....Secretary-Treasurer SUBSCRIPTION RATES. PER TEAR In the State, *1.50 Out er the State, S2.M 1— r How many of those New Year resolu tions have fa' down and go boo? One refreshing and encouraging thing about the controversy over the Panay bomb ing: Jr.pan actually remembered the incident. We wish the political boys who can't make up their minds about the senatorial race would either play ball or get off the lot. If women would possess charm 'they must have a graceful carriage, but a man can make better progress with a shiny new automobile. A man is wrong nine times out of ten, and if he will listen patiently to the argu ment of a woman she'll prove he is wrong on the tenth. After taking a look at what's going on down here, it's barely possible that Santa Claus will prefer the company of those Rus siahs at the North Pole. Business blames it on government; gov ernment blames it on business. Both are wrong. This business slump is thataway because of sunspots. We Celebrate We think there is no greater compli ment to the vision and effort of those who conceived and planned and built the Hugh Chatham Hospital than the fact that today we are dedicating an extensive addition that has been made necessary by the patronage and demands for service, after only a few years of operation. Too much cannot be said in praise of Rev. L. B. Abernethy who fathered the orig inal movement, and who has been deeply in terested in the progress and success of the institution. He has been just another Meth odist preacher whose interest extended be yond the mere filling of a pastorate, and .whose privilege it has been to bless in just a little fuller measure, to leave just a little more of himself, than his fellows. The Hugh Chatham Hospital as it is now and as it will be in the future is due in large measure to the vision and determination of this man. But there have been others: The Chat hams, whose name is fittingly and rightly linked with the institution; Mrs. Anna Hod gin Hanes, who is the largest single con tributor to the hospital movement; and the long list of Elkin citizens, who gave as their means allowed, are due full praise for hav ing helped to make dependable hospitaliza tion available to a community that would have been without it, but for their interest and that of the Duke Foundation. But none of these are courting praise. They have had their reward in seeing the institution serve as it was intended to serve; they have seen human suffering relieved; have seen medical* care provided in cases where obviously it would have been lacking; and now they see the institution so taxed for facilities for handling and meeting the needs that it must be enlarged. And today they are dedicating anew this splendid institution to a greater and broader service to the com munity. This paper finds a deep and sincere pleasure in giving recognition to the fine spirit that has made the Hugh Chatham Me morial Hospital and the service it is render ing, possible to this community, and in our own way we are trying to tell outsiders about it, It is one of the pleasing functions of a newspaper that also is trying—to serve. A Commednable Objective Humanity owes a lot to men with vision, men and women who dream dreams and then set about to help make them come true. This community is enjoying the services of a hospital because of this. And the man who perhaps is more responsible for making: the hospital more than a mere dream, Rev. L. B. Abernethy, is looking ahead to other achievements. Mr. Abernethy and others have been dreaming for a long time of a sanatarium, perched a-top of one of the hills on the hos pital property, separate from, yet a part of the splendid work that is being done by the institution that we are now pausing to honor. A sanatarium w&efc those who do not need hospitalization in its strictest sense, yet whose physical bodies demand rest and re cuperation, may come and get it. Certainiy that is a worthy objective, and wnatever plans ire advanced to bring about a prompt realization of this dream should have the suppcrt and co-operation of our people. Obviously the sanatorium would tie-in successfully with the Hugh Chatham Hospital, the activities and program of the one dove-tailing with that of the other —and the same high Christian purpose dominating both. Dr. Weaver feels certain that such an institution would be well patronized, that it would carry its own load with the probabil ity that it might contribute to the support of the hospital thus enlarging its service. That sounds reasonable, when one stops to analyze the wide scope of the need for such a place. We are certain that we speak for the citizens of Elkin when we express the hope that the plans for the sanatarium will be pressed immediately and aggressively, and that soon we will be pointing with pride to this additional evidence of vision and unsel fish planning. Ambitious Ralph Gardner, son of former Governor O. Max Gardner announces that he will be a candidate for the State senate from Cleve land county. Young Gardner will be return ing from Yale Law school this summer, and plunges forthright into politics. Editorial comment from those who are supposed to know make favorable appraisal of the young man, cite his record in college, vote him plenty of intelligence, a pleasing personality and think him precisely the sort we have too often lacked in North Carolina politics. Of course all this concern does not come simply because Ralph Gardner is offering for the State senate. "Crown prince" and "heir-apparent" immediately bobs into mind and the conclusion is that Young Gardner means to march into power under the steam of his distinguished father and uncles; that he is grooming or being groomed for the governorship or some other high place, and is to be given a shove by Daddy Max who was governor, uncle Clyde who is and uncle Yates, who as federal judge is in position to help Ralph go places and do things. These are understandable ambitions but if young Gardner lacks the ability to roll his own, if he is depending on the influence and prestige of his kinsmen, he is likely to find these a liability rather than an asset. True, we predicted two years ago that the voters would hesitate before going to Shelby every time a governor was to come from the west ern part of the State, and to the same fam ily at that. But they didn't seem to hesi tate a great deal, for Governor Hoey is in Raleigh, sitting very comfortable, thank you. Maybe it has become such a habit that we'll do it again, come 1944, and keep the line of succession unbroken, but we doubt it. Doubt less Ralph Gardner will make his mark by his own effort, but it would be well for him to understand that at the start. Certainly he has his pluck and nerve with him, to be seeking such a high place so early in the game. But that's Cleveland's business, the governorship is the whole State's. Who Killed Cock Robin? We are being reminded again that the greatest thing we have to fear is fear itself, as this may be applied to our present eco nomic unrest, and that the apostles of fear, purposely or unwittingly, are doing neither themselves nor the country any good ser vice, to say the least. Who are these to be charged with this disastrous fault? Because they are elusive or not engaged in unholy purpose it is hard to isolate and treat them. John T. Flynn, recognized as an able analyst of things eco nomic and who usually keeps his feet on solid ground, is not among those who believe in the psychological theory of depressions or that a nation, having fallen into a slump, can be pulled out of it by a psychological miracle, but he admits that psychology does play a minor part both ways. He does not agree that there has been a strike of capital or that there is any conspiracy among business men, by shutting down factories, to produce a depression in order to put the skids under Roosevelt. However, he says: "But I do believe that business men are now under the dominion of their hatred of Roosevelt. It shapes their outlook. They do not want to see a depression, but the prospect of a depression vindicates their opposition to Roosevelt and their hatred of the New Deal. "If they had got together and raised a bil lion dollar fund to advertise a coming depres sion, they could not have succeeded more ef fectively than they have done by their con duct In the last three months. They have added to the natural fears and timidities of the merchants who buy their goods and they have been rewarded with cancelled orders. I do not believe it is their attitude which has caused the recession, but it certainly is hurrying it along and making the recovery more difficult." Someone has gone haywire, somewhere down the line. Business reports have it that December retail sales, in North Caro lina as throughout the nation, were far bet ter than last year. That would indicate that fear has not stymied the little fellow with a few dollars to spend. The merchant, with his ear to the ground, was tipped off that business was not going to be so hot; he cur tailed his purchases and of course the manu facturer bolted down production, cut pay roll:-, and took to the cellar expecting a storm that didn't develop. In spite of skimpy pay envelopes, he bought; in spite of inspired fear he smiled—bravely. And so it seems that merchant and in dustrial prince are the victims of their own blindness. Somebody threw sand in their eyes. Rut who and why ? THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA TRAINED MEN ON ! HOSPITAL STAFF Surgeon and Physicians' Soundly Trained in Their Profession DR.

WINSTON SODA JERKER WRECKS AT BOONVILLE Tommy Oates, 25, who said he was employed at O'Hanlon Drug i Store, Winston-Salem, ran into | trouble in high gear at Boonville Sunday afternoon, when he wreck j ed his car, cutting off a telephone i pole at the end of his Journey. Driving his car into the town at what observers say was the fastest ever seen, the car left the j highway Jumped a 6 foot ditch ! clear, recrossed the road went through a field and into the pole, 350 feet from where he left the highway, according to Constable Arthur Mathews, who arrived from the opposite direction as he struck the pole. Oates was brought to Yadkin ville Jail charged with drunken and reckless driving. He gave bond early this morning- of S3OO, signed by Will Scales, colored, of Wins ton-Salem.

Constable Mathews said they expected to connect Oates with the Harry Davis bootleg ring in Winston-Salem. Deputy Sheriff p. E. Hurt as sisted Constable Mathews in the arrest. Ham probably gave his father too nntch toddy, but he showed a generous spirit by wanting his fa ther to feel young again. Washington, January 5. The I only piece of actual legislation ac -1 complished by the Extra Session of Congress was the appropria tion of $122,000 to pay the trav eling expenses of Senators and Representatives to and from Washington. The way was cleared however, for much constructive legislation at the regular session, out of which, It now seems prob able, will come some sort of a crop-control act, some kind of a law to encourage the building in dustry and some kind of sweeping revisions of the corporation tax laws. All Clear for New Session The road has been pretty well cleared for all of those, so that the new session will lose little time in getting them out of the way. What else will be accomplished re mains to be seen. Much will de pend upon the President's recom mendations in his annual mes sage, and the emphasis which he places on various items. There is much doubt as to whether the wage-and-hour bill, which was sent back to the com mittee by the House, will come out again. The belief is, however, that the President will renew his In sistence that Congress do as much for Labor as for Agriculture. The crop control bill will not be precisely what ihe Administra tion wants. It faces a bitter fight. The housing bill was In practical ly final form when the Extra Ses sion adjourned. The general prin ciples of the tax-revision act were pretty well defined. There was nothing to encourage the belief that the President's proposal for a general reorganization of the Government offices will be carried out. And it does not now seem likely either that there will be any amendments to the Neutrality Act, nor that the proposal of Repre sentative Louis Ludlow of Indi ana for a constitutional amend ment providing for a popular ref erendum before Congress can de clare war will be taken seriously. "Declaration of Principles" Something which most observ ers here do take seriously, how ever is the "Declaration of Prin ciples" drafted and signed by a number of Senators of both par ties in the closing days of the Extra Session. This document sets forth the conservative point of view, which is gaining strength in Congress, and lays down general principles which its proponents hold should govern all future leg islation. While distinctly non partisan, and in no sense indicat ing a 'oalition of parties either against. or for the Administration, the Declaration takes a stand in opposition to many of the Presi dent's New Deal advisers. Stating their purpose as that of bringing about complete cooper ation between Government and private business, for the restora tion of prosperity, the Declaration of Principles contains ten distinct proposals. 10-Point Conservative Program 1. Immediate revision of the undistributed profits and capital gaiiis tax. 2. Balancing the Federal bud get by reducing Government ex penditures all a'long the line. 3. Reducing friction between Capital and Labor by a Govern ment policy of law enforcement with Government taking a hand in labor disputes only as a last re sort to enforce the constitutional guarantees of the rights of per jsons and property. 4. Opposition to Government : competition with private invest- Iments, encouragement of utilities | and railroads to earn on the basis of "prudent investment" and en couragement of private capital to invest in housing enterprises. 5. Postering the opportunity for reasonable profits to private in vestors under the competitive system, and denouncing any form of collectivism. 6. Formulation of a policy In tended to stabilize security values and so make credit safer. 7. Reductions in the tax burden upon the consumer. 8. Vigorous maintenance of states' rights' home rule and local self-government. 9. Economical administration of relief, without political favor or interference, with the aim of placing the unescapable part of the relief burden upon states, counties, cities and private benev olence as speedily as possible. 10. The preservation and reli ance upon the'Amerlcan system of private enterprise and initiative and our American form of gov ernment. These, the Declaration states, "carry the priceless content of liberty and the dignity of man." Anti-New Deal Blow The Declaration closes with an appeal to all citizens to rally to the support of the principles out lined therein, and cooperate in "erecting appropriate safeguards under the ooiTUTion Is- prfs-iplas of free men, without surrendering in any degree the vital principles Thursday January 6, 1838 and self-reliant spirit on which we must depend . . . They will serve to take us through the period of transition now suddenly thrust upon us, as they have taken us through every emergeLcy." That Declaration of Principles is the first formulated statement of Anti-New Deal policy on which any considerable number of the members of Congress have agreed. It represents a spirit which is growing on Capitol Hill, and which may be expected to influ ence the course of legislation and public affairs in the next few months. HIGH COURT JUSTICE HANDS IN RESIGNATION .Washington Associate Su preme Court Justice Qeorge Suth eralna toduy advised President Roosevelt of his intention to re tire January 18 after 16 years as member of the high tribunal. He follows Willis Van Devanter as the second member of the court to take advantage of the retire ment act which was passed in the heat of President Roosevelt's un successful attempt to enlarge the court. PUBLIC DEBT $273 FOR EVERY CITIZEN 1 Washington,—lf every man, ' woman and child in the United States were asked to contribute equally toward liquidation of the $38,528,000,000 public debt esti mated for the fiscal year 1939, each would have, to pay approxi mately $273. Without a change, it seems that the word "democracy" will always begin with a little "d" and that it will always be so ob scure as to never occur on the front pages of history. In the next world, every person will not only get his Just "des serts," but he will get a full meal ticket with interest from date. Any man should be proud if none of his ln-laws are out-laws.
