FRIDAY, DEC. 5, 1930 TWINKLES “November Nears Record *Wct’ M inth,” is the head!in ■ over a Charlotte dispatch. Then We read that it refers to the rainfall. It isn’t any time to whine. Instead, it’s just the right time to buckle dawn and snap out of it. As Governor Gard ner says, conditions may be more serious now than since the Civil War, but “North Carolina lias pulled through worse.” And will dp so again. As you go about your Christmas shopping, remember that Shelby’s city-wide charity program hopes to make it so that every family will have something to eat and something to wear on Christmas day and the other days of the winter. Everyone able to do so, must do his or her part </> realize this worthwhile aim. t The good old Red Cross. Just a couple of years ago prosperity was certain to come if we would vote the Republi can ticket. Everyone is familiar with conditions as they are now, and Mr. Hoover in his message to Congress declared that “The Red Cross can relieve the distress.” One thing about it, it is more dependable to depend upon that great or ganization than upon the promises of any political party. GOLF VS. WOOD-CHOPPING ^j^HY SHOULD MINISTERS chop wood lor exercise in stead of golf? An Atlanta bishop recently advised the chopping-. Why? Well, we’ve been wondering since. No explanatory reasons were given for the advice, and here’s the idea The New York World has about it: “Bishop Warren A. Candler of the Methodist Episcopal Church South advises a class of candidates for the ministry to chop wood instead of going out in the country to play golf. “It’s all very well for the preacher to have, recreation too,” he said, “but that doesn’t mean he has to go ’way out in the country ami play golf. I can tell him how he can get better exercise and recreation than that. Let him chop somewood.” “We should Iflfe to have the good bishop defend this thesis in more detail, and explain exactly why wood-chopping is better for a preacher than playing golf. So far as exer cise goes, it would seem that the amount provided by these fo%&.of exeftion is about the same. Both require swinging; gojf, ffpn^sside to side; wood-chopping, up and down. The golf club is somewhat lighter than an ax, but there is consid erable walking in golf, whore wood-chopping is done standing still. The usefulness of each, so far as we can make out, is about nil. Wood-chopping used to be useful, but .what With the general use of coal and gas, and the. ease with which wood can be obtained, split to any required sizer it is not use ful any more, In the realm of esthetics, the advantage is all onjthc side of golf, for where it is pursued on the open sward, with birds twittering in the trees and well-dressed persons standing about, wood-chopping is pursued in the back yard, with a board fence cutting off the view, a clatter of pans from the kitchen assailing the ears, and a mewling cat of fending such dignity as a man has at such a job. It is a dour and solitary occupation, even if it does provide exercise. “In others words, the only essential point of difference is that golf is fun while wood-chopping is not. Then why does Bishop Candler recommend it? And how many cords, by the way, did he ever chop per diem himself ?” WHOSE FAULT IS IT? J-JERE AND THERE about Shelby one may hear condem nation of the little negroes who were caught this week stealing coal and other things. The criticism includes, in certain instances, the juvenile authorities who administer a lecture and suspended sentences. ^ h -t eke was there to do! And why were the young sters stealing coal ? The Star has no intention, now or at any other time, of endorsing thievery. But stop the best citizen you know and ask him, “Would you steal before you would starve or freeze?” The odds are that he will answer “I would.” The law, or instinct, of self preservation is a strong one, one of the strongest, perhaps the strongest, in the human makeup. Well-fed, warm, self-contented, and selfish, it may be hard for some of us to visualize ourselves in such a fix as to necessitate stealing to keep life in our bodies. Therefore we condemn a group of little pickaninnies for stealing coal that they may be warm. Check back over the past; have you always condemned men who ha\e si den far more than a gua o sack of co l, men son e of whom have never been to court for lectures or suspended sentences? What is the answer? Wliere the so’ution? It is a mat ter of civilization, society, and of charity. Shelby now has a charity committee, on which rre able representatives of every church and organization in the city. The aim of this committee is to see that those who do not have food, fuel, and clothes, and cannot get them, do not suffer. Have you done your part to aid in the accomplish ment of this ambition? If not, please reserve your con demnation; you know not of what you talk. Live and lot live. Crime for gain is one thing, a lov. !despicable thing. Every misstep is not necessarily a crime. When you fail to extend a helping hand, are you not doing your part to instill criminal tendencies in hungry and cold boys arid girls? Debate it out for yourself. SINCLAIR LEWIS’ PRIZE fN THE I.ITERARY WORLD and among book-lovers there i1 has been considcra* Je discussion, and debate, of recent [weeks, regarding the awarding of the Nobel prize for Ijter j at ure to Sinclair Lewis, the re 1 headed American author'who created “Main Street” and “Babbitt.” The controversy has some amusing angles. The vvould ! be h gh-brows object to the award because of his books, they I say, do not represent American tradition. On the other hard, Mr. Average Man, objecting to the award, rests his objection, \ye suspect, upon the unexpressed fact that Sin clair Lewis came too near painting a good picture of us with his “Babbitt” and “Main Street.” One of the higher-ups who declared that the award was (a b! w to America—incidentally, it is one of the first time, I an American writer has been so honored—was Dr. Henr; Van Dyke, of Prince4 on. When Lewis sailed for Stockholr . to receive his prize, which includes a sizeable bit of mone: he was ashed to comment upon the Van Dyke attack and rc fused to do so. The Baltimore Sun, however, takes up tin I cudgels for Lewis as follows: “Dr. Henry V an Dyke, of Princeton, objects to the awarding of a Nobel prize for literature to Sinclair Lewis. This is quite understandable. ‘Main Street’ and ‘Babbitt,’ l)r. Van Dyke says, do not represent the American tradition. . What he means is that they represent it too well; so well that to his mind they misrepresent it. It is natural that he should object to Mr. Lewis. Mr. Lewis is hitting home with his 'Babbitt.' And that, says Dr. Van Dyke in effect, is bad enough without giving the man any prize for it. “But even so Dr. Van Dyke ought to know better than to argue as he does. After all, the American tradition in icludes more than exalting quatrains on the future life and j books on fishing. It includes Mr. Lewis too. Mr. Lewis has i passed into the tradition and become a part of it. He has 1 contributed to the language. He has fixed for Americans | some vital opinions about America. He is indeed so much a part of the tradition that he is already passe to numbers of enterprising young persons who are in revolt against him. There is no surer way of being in the tradition than being , rebel’ed against. “And, also. Dr. Van Dyke as a student of letters who (thinks readers ought to fall in love with the heroines of nov els ought to know that even the Nobel prize is not awarded to authors for exact pictures but for evidences of creative ability. Dr. Van Dyke objects to the honor given Mr. Lewis because Mr, Lewis has not made an accurate picture of Am erica. Well, Anatole France got the prize once too. But no one would say his ‘Penguin Island’ or ’Revolt of the Angels’ were accurate pictures of Heaven. At least no one in the Heavenly Tradition would say so.” Trying Out the Other Fellow’s Health Tonic —IPs Usually an Unwise Procedure United States Senator from New York.
