Home Folks Know Little Of Many Things Made In Carolina Thousand* Of Factories Produce Article* Which Are Purchased From Other State*. Charlotte Observer. Over three thousand factories in North Carolina produce everythin'-; from saw mills to sewing thread, but unfortunately our own people know very dale about these things, and buy very few ot their goods. These factories produce one and one quarter billon dollars worth of goods each year, three times as large a sum as U realized from our agri cultural products each year. These lactories employ a great army of people and a large percentage of our entire oopulatlon Is either dl | rectly or inihectly dependent Upon these factories for a living. Importance Of Industries. This Is all true, but few of our school children, and unfortunately few of our teachers, arc fully in formed about this great industrial business which has been built up in our state. If some magic hand came along and overnight picked these factories up and moved them into another state, it would not be long until our great hanks, most of our great business Institutions would close their doors. We would have to close down our charitable and hu mane Institutions, curtail our mu nicipal expenditures, cut the budget or our churches and hold up on statewide improvements, for these factories are the backbone and sinew of the state’s wealth and strength. Then how Important it would seem to be t© know more about these homo products, and how In finitely more important It Is to buy more of them. Aiding Home Labor. Did you ever stop to think that when you spend a dollar with a North Carolina hosiery mill for stockings, which formerly you had been buying out of the state, that you were putting fifty oenta directly into the pocket of a North Carolina laborer? It has been estimated that fifty cents of every dollar spent with a factory goes Into its payroll, so when you buy Carolina-made products you are supporting North Carolina labor, and the North Car olina laborer, In turns, spends his money with tie grocer, the butcher the department store, Ihe church and helps to pay the cost of city and state government. It Is estimated that North Car ollna people each year .send out of the state the stupendous eum of two hundred million dollars for products no cheaper In price and no better in quality than are being pro duced by home factories. As long as this economic waste continues, our state wtl not come fully into its own. The government Is very aptly urging North Carolina produced agricultural > oducts. That is fine as far as it goes. What it needs is the same kind of advice pertaining to North Carolina made products, whose total output, each year is three times the value of the prod ucts of all of our farms. Up in Illinois they have estab lished a "Buy-Illinois-Product-Com mission.” That’s what we need tn this state and what this paper lias been hammering for ten years. It Is not the desire of any one to build a wall about the state and ex clude things made elsewhere, for the great tistributtng agencies in state have helped to build up our wealth. Th* trouble has been Uiat our people hr-ve not divided up the business. They have bought ex tremely little of the things made at home, and as a consequence we find our great furniture factories going thousands of miles Into the far weet ancl elsewhere to market their goods. Why buy a pair of California made overalls when Just around the corner Is a small factory struggling to succeed and which makes over alls Just as good and just as cheap as Its California competitor. Does It not stand to reason that some body must pay tills freight across the continent, that somebody must pay the high cost of this long range sales effort? Make Industries Grow. If the home overall factory had a large volume of home business it would be enabled to grow and expand Into a big Industry—a big tax payer—a big employer of labor, and would be enabled to give Its North Carolina employes full time employment at good wages? Is this not worth while? New Notaries. Raleigh.—:New notaries of public comnilssioneded Include Edgar Young. Reidsville; c. W. Weiss, Fayetteville, C. R. Reading. Cor nelius, and Judson McCary, Bre vard. Behind the Scene ifinliolhfwaDcP h By DOttOTHY HERZOG. Hollywood. Calif.—Oh, for a nice, choice morsel of gossip .... But how can there be any aech when Mr. Santa Claus has parked his four reindeer in an empty lot at Hollywood Boolvard and Labrea? Yeah, he ns*. Every night, Santa hitches 'em up to his wagon and reindeers down the Boolvard. Theres a rumor out that he does this on margin . . . It’s a racket. A flick-tte, feeling yah-y, traipsed to see a doctor. The doc X-raysd him. The following day the flick-lte imported to hear the sad news. He saw a plate re vealing his appendix. They had the operating table look. But the victim decided to fade a wee before inhal ing ether. Subsequently, he treked east on business. While there, he remembered to be X-rayed. The plate of his appendix showed the appendix in perfect condition. "Can the appendix lapse normal in a few weeks time?" the fllck-lte ask ed the medico . . . “No." And now the flick-lto lias added X-ray plates to his list of don’t-believes. Is It a racket or Isn’t It ... . Josef Glmburg Is an eminent Vlenese surgeon. He Is also an ac complished sculptor and Is giving an exhibition of his art In a local hostelry. Included in the display is a small bronze of CharUe Chaplin posed as Rodin’s “The Thinker." "What’s Cnarlle supposed to be thinking about?” an inquisitive fe male asked. "Whether he should add dialogue to his new picture," admitted Dr. Oinsburg. Which remlrds me, apropos of nothing, of one of Joel Chandler Harris’ “Uncle Remus” stories wherein the old darky is telling his small listens the story of the tur tle who played a dirty trick on his friend the engle. The eagle bided his time. Cne day. he asked the turtle If he d like to go for a ride. The turtle said yea. And did. When he was soaring through the clouds the eagle shuok his passenger off his back and called to him as he fell: “You got to learn how to light before you learn how to fly.” Or am I too maudulent...
