Declining: stocks, our guess is, will keep a lot of stock ings from being filled this Christmas. . 11 optimist is the fellow who looks for conditions to improve overnight now that Congress is in session again. More pepole would have work now, if those who can af ford it were not scared to let their money work for them. . Al Capone is running a soup line for the unemployed o' Chicago and on Thanksgiving gave a turkey dinner to 5,000 people. Trying to be another Robin Hood, perhaps. As the Chr stmas season a p-oacbes the front pages aie telling ol more and more deaths resulting from poison liquoi and acohol. home day it seems as if men would real ize that alcohol which will eat out the insides of a radiator is none too easy on the stomach. When some big business and financial leader predicts that business is on the up and up, duck. Last week one of the country s best known bankers stated that the crisis was over and that day 51 Southern banks took a nose dive. As one writer put it: “What this country needs is more profits and less prophets.” Would that North Carolina had more Mrs. Bowmar Grays. For years the wealthy Winston Sa’em woman has financed a Chrs'mas tree for the children of her commun ity. This-year she has changed her pirns and will give £10 030 to charity for distribution among the needy. A wis move. Hundreds of peo. le th's year wilj gladly forego a Christmas tree if they can hope to get something to eat and wear. Those who can give on the Mrs. Gray scale are not so numerous. bu„ others should follow suit in proportion to their ability. SOMETHING TO PONDER ON J1 IS A KNOW N FACT that Shelby must have a new high school building within a few years. One is badly needed now. No town or city in the State is more poorly equipped with high school facilities. Think how many carpenters, masons and other workers in the building trades could be employed in this period of depression if a new building were to be erected. Think, too, how much money could be saved with build ing material selling as it is now, and with labor available at low prices. Then remember that if a new building were erected now, it would not be necessary to pay for it for a number of years. What more co hi he asked than to buy or build some thing when prices art- at a low ebb and then do the paying when better times return? Just a suggestion—think it over. MECKLENBURG’S FEE SYSTEM QITIZENS OF MECKLENBURG COUNTY, one of North Carolina’s greatest counties, are now demanding that their county officers be put on a salary basis instead of the fee system. It is rather unusual that a county as progres sive as Mecklenburg, and a county in which the county gov ernment is a mammoth business enterprise, is st'll operated on the old fee system. At a mass meeting where citizens protested against the fee method, county officials a'tempted to show, it is said, that the receipts from their offices were small. But, as The Gastonia Gazette says, “it is common knowledge the officials there make handsome profits from their offices.” If they do not, why do office-holders object to being placed upon sa’aries? Every public office should be on a salary basis and then those seeking office, and there are always plenty of office seekers, will know just what they will receive and the taxpayer, the fellow who foots the bills, will know, too, just how- much the office is costing him. A CLUB THAT CAN HELP A YEAR OR SO AGO a county club Was organized in this county with a membership drawn from every section of the county. Similar clubs in other counties have been suc cessful and have done much to stimulate interest in public matters. Recent meetings of the club in this county have showm a lack of enthusiasm, but it is to be hoped that in the meetings ahead more interest w ll be shown by members and that the club will materialize into the beneficial organiza tion it could and should be. In the city of Shelby any community movement is usual ly first discussed at the luncheon club meetings. There citi zens talk over the matter, debate the several ang’es, and fo -mtiate plans for movrnrrts wh'eh nrsn much to th” city’s welfare. A county club should serve a similar purpose a# for the entire county. With representative citizens from each township attending county projects could he talked over calmly and result in a general under, landing and co oj oration that would mean much to t he economic, social and spiritual welfare of the county. The next meeting of the club is schedule 1 for next week, and those who are now members should plan to attend and do their part to keep the club going. If there are sections not represented in the pres ent roster of the organization, then others should be .added. It is too goo I an organization to permit it to go- by the boards. AIR MAIL TO EUROPE THE LAST OP’ THIS MONTH the postoffice department A will o en bids on a government contract for the opera ton of an a‘r mail route to Europe. The contract says that the trans-Atlantic service is to start next June and the low bidder will be contracted for a period of ten years. It is, without doubt, a progressive, farsighted idea, but is it as yet plausible and safe with air ma'l p'lpts on th’’s continent being forced down and delayed in their schedules by rough weat" er? Eventually, rr.d it may not be so many yea-s off, thtre will be a regular a r mail service between America and Eu rope. It is true, too, that nothing started is nothing gained. Yet t1 e hazards seem tremendous jut now. The proposed route for the trans-At’anfc air mail is not the northern route over which Lindbergh and the others spanned the At - 1 —.LI—!!.' " rrjyr-.iv—----1""IP Ian ic instead the routing will he from New York via Nor folk to Charleston, and from Charleston to Bermuda and then the Azores to Europe. For the first year the flights will be on e a week e^ch way with the probability of additional flights thereafter. The contract for the first year does not specify that the low bidder make the complete trip, calling only for service between America and Bermuda with the re mainder of the route being only a test. It is a big step in the making, and it may be years before a regular air mail service between the two continnents successfully materializ es. but the beginning will mark an important advance in avia tion and will be watched with interest the world over.
