We always agreed with old Dr. Quack, who came as near as anybody with the theory that dandruff was caused by chewing pop corn too fine. WILL CODES CONTINUE Whether codes governing various industries of tha country:'will be continued must soon be decided definite ly and finally. In the first place, President Roos«velt has asked Congress for the necessary legislation to pro long the NIRA for another two years. Opposition is in the offing. The lumber code was thrown back in the lap of the government this week to adopt and rear, yet Mr. Rich berg informed the lumbermen that it’s their code to en force. Codes have certainly had a great influence on re covery but when certain fair principles were adopted by nearly 500 enterprises in their self-regulating endeavor, the government prescribed penalties for violation. All code authorities have endeavored to enforce their codes. In some instances they have succeeded, but the great majority have abandoned code enforcement as hopeless and many have challenged the authorities of their power to enforce. Now what shall be done? Instance after instance of violations has been presented to the government au thorities for action and the government seems hesithnt to act with finality. It is true that sub-ordinate courts have handed down decisions, some favorable and some* unfavorable to the government, but there has not been a decision from the U. S. Supreme Court. In the two years that codes have been written, it does seem that every phase of their validity could have be$n passed-upon by the highest court in the land. Un leak there is strict enforcement, we might as well aban don codes and if there is abandonment it w ill be due to lack of co-operation on the government that sponsored the code-writing business. KNEW WHAT HE WANTED Making the rounds of the press this week is a unique “Help Wanted" advertisement that appeared recently in a Kentucky paper. It was inserted by a farmer who knew what he wanted—and who must have had some experience as an employer. He said: “Wanted—I want a man to work on my farm. I don't give dancing lessons. I have no piano. I can't serve planked steak three times a day. I do give three square meals, a real bed and fair wages. If any man knows a cow from a talking machine, can hear an alarm clock and get up at 5 o’clock and wants a job, I will agree not to treat him like one of the famly, but a darned sight better.” Which reminds us of the experience of Sherwood A. Munson, young Jersey City accountant, who adver tised for a friend, a young man who wanted to work on a farm. He received 800 replies, and the friend got a job. But when he turned the other replies over to a re lief agenc>v-the clients gave him the horse laugh! They preferred the dole. THE FUTURE OF TEXTILES AND LABOR Speaking at an institute in Chapel Hill this week Dr. Chester Wright, public ns counsel for the United 7 ■ xtile Workers, sounded . note of alarm over vhe future of textil.•; in America. "Either the cottor. in dustry will come to its senses speedily and unite all forc es in an effort to plan and execute reconstruction, or it will go down before the combined assault of alien and domestic forces.” Throughout the east and south we find little flare-ups with labor, disturbed over trifling ■ matters. Of course labor does not admit that its cause is trifling, but when one studies the serious situation that faces the textile industry in America as a whole, one must admit that the discharge of an employee or the inauguraton of the stretch-out are mere trifles in com parison to the problems that confront both capital and labor, engaged in the manufacture of cotton textiles. In the first place, the situation in regard to the im portations of cotton piece goods from Japan into this country, commencing with December 1934, has reached such serious proportions that it is necessary for the in dustry to concentrate upon measures to be taken prompt ly to check this flow of textiles now coming into thi6 country at prices that are so much below our own costs of production as to constitute a thoroughly demoralizing influence in our markets. From 1928 to 1938, inclusive, the importation of cotton piece goods from Japan was slightly more than a million square yards per year. Since December ’34 the importations have grown from 2.210.000 square yards to 3,341,000 in January and 5. 744.000 in February. Importations from other countries have been greatly increased also. It is impossible for American manufacturers to compote with cheap labor costs of foreign countries. No one wants to see our labor put on a par with that of foreign countries. We have a problem, however, that calls for national and interna tional consideration. Not only does the problem concern those engaged in textile manufacture, but largely con cerns the southern farmer in the growing of cotton, as we no longer dominate the world in the growth of cotton. Substitutes for cotton are being developed, such as rayon and celanese and we understand‘that there is an other substitute about to be put on the market that will rival cotton, or any of the substitutes yet developed, in the matter of tensile strength. We are going through a period now somewhat like a triangular love affair, with the employer, organized and unorganized labor forming the triangle. The most dan gerous threat to the industry in America is in the tri angular fight that is now under way and the importa tion of foreign made goods by cheap labor and the de velopment of cotton substitutes. Labor and capital must soon lay aside their differences and combine against these common enemies in order for both to survive. DUKE STANDS CLEAR Cleveland county, grateful for the recent hospital gift by the Duke Foundation, is perhaps happier than most because of the recent “bill of health” given the Duke Power Co., by the Federal Trade Commission. But disregarding any prejudice that anyone might feel to • day, it is gratifying to know that an exhaustive investi gation gives the Duke company a clean bill—the ex ception, not the rule, when utility companies are held up to the light. We take it from this report that the Duke com pany will have no cause to be alarmed, from now on, about New Deal management, even though a protest against Buzzard’s Roost still stands. Mr. Roosevelt’s recent swing to the right clearly indicates that he has no intention of practising a socialism destructive to en terprise and investment. For that matter, a blow at our Duke is at the same time a blow at thousands of employees throughout the Carolines. Numerous corollary business have grown through the Duke enterprise, and vast advertisements for this part of the world have been widespread .through the Duke influence. Feeling grateful for these things, it is happy then, to see the company—the largest private power company in the Southland—has no holding company and that, while it has written up its capital ,this was not to issue and sell securities, or to raise rates. On the contrary, three recent rate reductions, which we shall soon enjoy here, are in evidence.

We are held back from doing what we want to do and could do. Here la a young man out of work, or in a poorly paid job, who would strike out boldly In a new line, but he dare iM" not ri5K involving ! his wife and baby, or some one fisc dependent upon him. i The owner of a small business has the offer of a better opening elsewhere. He would sell out and take it, but to do so would mean the ruin of people to whom he feels pledged; so he declines. A boy and girl want to marry. i and ought to marry, but cannot do it because one or the other has in valid parents to care for. If only they were free they could found a home and be happy. How often a girl must give up a work she loves because she is the only one left at home and someone must take charge there; or a boy is kept out of college because he is needed by his family. Others, to be sure, do not feel the tug of such ties. Or if they do, they harden their hearts, cut loose and go, regardless. How they sleep at nights is hard to know, but they seem to manage it. But what if we were not all tied together by such ties—how hard and lonely life would be! Pew things are to be more dreaded in life than being alone, with no one to care for or to care for us. My mail is full of letters from lonely folk—some left alone, some who have made themselves lonely —who would give much to be tied up, rather than drift about the world forelorn and unwanted. After all, happiness does not lie in doing what we want to do, much less in breaking the obligations of blood and duty. It lies, finally in doing what we ought to do, wheth 1 Belwood Resident III In Hospital; Home Group Meets Mr*. Frank SUmtj In Lincoln Hos pital; Knob Creek New* Note* Of Interest.
