THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1938
Tobacco growers in Florida and parts of Georgia are already cur
ing tobacco. All of this means that it will not be so long before cur
ing starts in this section. We are being led to believe that tobacco
here is looking better than in other sections. Georgia reports that the
rain was too late and eastern
Carolina had too much rain.
Perhaps the season will be just
right in the Piedmont section.
Exports of tobacco to foreign
countries are up. Everything
points to a greater demand for
good tobacco and more of it than
in recent years. The tobacco sit
uation looks very encouraging.
Smedley D. Butler, retired ma
jor general o fthe U. S. Marines,
told the N. C. department, Vet
.erans of Foreign Wars, “If it is
accessary for your boy to be shot
let it be on American soil.”
“Tell Europe and Asia, you fel
lows have all the wars you want,
but God help you if you put your
foot on American soil,” the gen
eral said.
General Butler also said that
lie was going to see to ft that the
members of Congress who are
majors in the army go to the
next war if there should be one.
He seems determined that the
“armchair officers” do their bit
as well as the privates.
It looks like Mr. Butler has the
Tight idea about war and many
people that we know would a
gree with him. If other nations
are anxious to fight there is noth
ing that we can do about it, but
We can stay at home.
On June 19th. the people of
this country will remember
Dad. That day has been design
ated as Father’s Day and Dad is
supposed to get an even break
Sunday.
Father’s Day is not quite as po
" pular as Mother’s Day. It has
not been operating as long. How
ever, history recalls that this day
was first suggested" in 1909. In
1920 the Chicago Lion’s Club
really started things humming
and ever since that date “Pop”
has had a rather nice day on the
third Sunday in June.
Remember your father this
Sunday, a message of some kind
if you are away from home or a
gift of some kind if dad is around.
Do something nice for him and
you can bet that he will appre
ciate in a whole lot.
Summer schools over the entire
state aye rtfjjorting larger en
rollments than ever before. This
means that the teachers are go
ing back to school. It must mean
something else too. Many people
jwbo did not teach for the past
six or seven years have decided
that they are going to try to
teach again and therefore they
find it necessary to go back to
school and brush up a bit. Then
there’s a matter of certificate
and many of these need renew
ing. In plain words it looks like
people are hunting jobs and
school teaching is a fair job even
tho it does last only eight or nine
months in the year.
I
People certainly do like to
Wen to Sensational courtroom
trials. This week was the week
iat the trial of the Cothrans of
Bougemont who had been in jail
the body of Lee Laws was
found in a pond several weeks
You could hardly get in the
court-room on Tuesday. People
yrtn standing up on the benches
fS the aisles were crowded on
both sides of the room.
ft was impossible for over one
third of the people to hear what
was being said, but they ware
anxious to try anyway.
A little study in human na
ture would reveal why so many
people wanted to be present and
hear- what was said, but even
then we wonder why they were
all so very anxious. The writer
tried to get a good seat and fail
ed. I wonder why I wanted to
hear it.
