The New NRA Bill.
SANTA MONICA, CALIF. -
They do say the new NRA
bill, as drawn by the Gallagher
and Shean of the administra
tion, Messrs. Corcoran and
Cohen, is more sweeping than
jwas the original NRA.

Friendly French Visitors.
f T SEEMS we were cruelly wrong
* in ascribing mercenary motives
to those French financiers who’ve!
been dropping in on us lately. They
came only to establish more cordial
relations. Os course, there’s a new
French bond issue to be floated, but,
these visits were purely friendly)
and altruistic.
Still and all, I can’t help thinking,
of Mr. Pincus, who invaded the east)
side to invite his old neighbor, Mr.j
Ginsburg, whom he hadn’t seen in
years, to be a guest at Mrs. Pincus’’
birthday party.
He gave full directions for travel
ing uptown, then added:
“Vere we lif now it’s von of dosej

Murmured Mr. Pincus gently:

UNITED STATES*SENATOR
******
'There is widespread agreement
among members of Congress that
the situation in Washington today,
whether it be called uncertainty or
by some other name, is primarily
jdue to the fact that we have reach
led another period of national read
justment when the future depends,
in large measure, on the course that
i will be taken. How far shall the
Federal Government go in changing
I present institutions? What shall be
done in the direction of Federal con
trol of hours and wages, now so vi
tally affected by activities that are
clearly interstate commerce in
character? '
These questions press Ifcr ans
wers and there are many ideas as
to how they are to be found. In
ether words, what is to be the con
cepts of Government in the future?
Those who look for guidance in
i the events of the past are, of course,
studying the trends of the bygone
days. For exampld, Congressional
Record of 100 years ago shows that
some of the Congressional leaders
of the past, many of whom we re
gard as outstanding statesmen, were
I just as fearful of the future in 1837,
las some of our people are about
what lies ahead beyond 1937. But
| the developments of the last 100
! years have amply proven that the
fears expressed in 1837 were un
founded.
There is every reason to hope that
the fears of today are equally as
unfounded.
True, problems of today are per
haps greater that ever before. No
community or state is self-sufficient.
| The price which the Virginia and
North Carolina farmers will get for
their products is affected by indus
trial employment in Ohio and Penn
sylvania. The ability of the manu
facturers of automobiles and re
frigerators in Indianh and Michi
gan to sell their products is affect
ed by conditions in Georgia and
Tennessee. Emergencies in Calif
ornia, lowa and Florida may cur
tail the supply of food in New York.
In other words, whether we wish
to admit it or not, we have come to
the point where the Federal Gov
ernment must help to find the solu
tion to problems the states cannot
solve alone. How? Finding the an
swer is what causes legislative un
certainty and slow movement of
legislative machinery. Too much im
portance depends on taking the
right course.
Nevertheless, there is growing
realization that something must be
done about regulating the forces
that have widened the gap between
wealth and numbers. There is also
realization that some of the pro
grams and policies already tried
must be reshaped in the light of the
experience developed.
Th subject of highways, one of
importance to every citizen, offers
a splendid example of changing con
cepts- of Government responsibility
over a long period of years. At the
cutset, roads were built by town
ships and communities. Later, fi
nancial aid was given to counties by
states— New Jersey being the first
in 1891. By 1903, eleven states were
giving aid to counties and ten years
later, forty-two states w.ere aiding
counties.
But even then highways were be
ing built around centers of popu
lation and not so much to connect
those centers <at any considerable
distance from each other. The need
for interstate roads was beginning
to be built. Because of this need
there arose a strong public demand
that the United States Government
should contribute financially toward
road-building, as it had done a hun
dred years before.
This demand took definite form
in 1916, in the passage of the first
Federal-aid bill, and later came the

SERMON TO VACATIONERS
jLfgw
WSHh
The photographer, fairly eloae, took ear* to foeua on the ehlld, not on tha
distant scene. Exposure 1/100 second at f.B on a fair day.
THIS year when you go on your
vacation, resolve to come back
with better snapshots than you did
a year ago.
Determine to take more care with
your lens stops, your shutter speeds
and your focusing. Decide that be
fore you take a picture you will give
thought to the light conditions;
whether the day is hazy, dull or very
dull; whether a midday eun Is
shining from a clear sky or the less
intense early morning or late after
noon sun; whether the light la In
creased by reflections from expanses
of water or sand; whether your sub
ject is in average shade or deep
shade; whether under any of these
conditions you are photographing
nearby objects or a distant scene.
Say you will consider these things
each time and carefully adjust your
camera to fit them.
Make up your mind that you will
think also about the composition of
each picture, that it shall have merit
because of its pictorial qualities and
that in each scene showing human
or other beings there shall be story
telling interest.
Declare that you will bring back
■from this year’s vacation no more
out-of-focus pictures nor underex
posed or overexposed ones, nor pic
tures blurred by camera movement;
no more of those lifeless pictures of
Federal-aid act of 1921 which gave
us the basis for our present inter
state system of roads. And the sit
uation as applied to roads has now
developed in many other Yields.
There is a loud clamor for Federal
assistance in these other fields—as
sistance in handling problems states
cannot control alone.

Bank Buys Bulls For
Breeding
Five purebred bulls have been pur
chased by the Citizens Bank and
Trust Company, of Andrews, to
further the production of high grade
j beef cattle in. Cherokee, Clay, and
Graham Counties.
] The bank also plans to purchase
two more bulls in the near future,
said L- I. Case, beef cattle specialist
of the State College extension ser
vice.
The two Aberdeen Angus bulls
have been placed with farmers in
Graham County and the three Here
ford bulls have been placed with
Cherokee County farmers.
The other two animals to be pur
chased will probably be placed in
Clay County, Case pointed out.
The farmers with whom the ani
mals have been placed are regard
ed as leaders in their communities.
Each has signed a contract to care
for the animal in his charge accord
ing to methods recommended by the
extension service.
The bulls will be available for ser
vice on. the farms where they are
kept, and other farmers will have
the privilege of using the bulls up
on payment of a small fee which
will help defray the expense of
maintaining the sires.
The contract specifies that the
farmer must kJqep the animal ip
good condition, feed it adequately,
and endeavor to protect it from in
fection with contagious diseases.
Each farmer has the right to pur
chase the animal in his charge if
and when he may desire, Case add
ed.
The bulls were selected by Case

Cherokee County farm demonstra
tion agent.

“Build good will among your cus

He also pointed out that leaf spots
and anthracnose on watermelons, to
matoes, cantaloupes, and lima beans
can be controlled by spraying or
dusting with Bordeaux mixture.
These disease cause the fruits and
vegetables to mature too early and
be poor in quality.
