Talmadge basis part of hia opposition to Pres. Roosevelt on the charge that he is too dictatorial. What about your dictatorship, Mr. Talmadge? A MINISTERIAL QUARTET The passing of Dr. Len G. Broughton removes one of four of the most distinguished ministers North Caro lina has given to the Baptist denomination. Dr. Brough ton^ ranked along with Dr. George W. Truett, Dr. Amzi Cl«rei»ee-f)ijcon (our own native son) and Dr. A. T. Robeson; All were North Carolinians by birth and" although, they served pastorates in distant states, they maintajhgda real love for the Old North State. FIND YOUR PLACE Charity and Children packs a lot of philosophy in this one little paragraph; ‘‘It is mighty hard to make a safe driver out of a man who is not at heart a gentleman. A man who is a real gentleman will violate few rules of motor travel. A road hog is just a hog on the road and it is hard to make a careful driver out of a hog. Many people man ipulate the highways safely even though the road is in fested with porkers. We sometimes take time out to marvel at that fact.” That leaves very little else to be said. Every word of it i&tba truth, and it remains inly for the individual driver to classify himself: to determine in his own mind whether he is a gentleman or a hog, and act according ly when he gets under the steering wheel. * Very few highway accidents occur except for some body’s carelessness and Indifference to the rights of others. A gentleman’s foot on the gas nob of every car would do away with most of the present appalling death toll on the highways. Think it over and find the common level in which you fit.—Statesville Daily. k “PUTTING ON THE DOG" "Our Bob,” meaning of course Senator Robert R. Reynolds of North Carolina “put on the dog" when he motored into Charlotte and thence into Kings Mountain to have a few words to say to the populace. The Senator’s motorcade hove into town preceded by half a dozen motorcycle patrolmen, whether highway officers, city of Charlotte mounted.officers, we do not know, but they were blowing sirens, notifying other motorists to clear the way for “Our Bob," our Senator, our showman. The Gastonia Gazette says red traffic lights were disregarded as The Caravan left Kings Mountain, led this time by two Gastonia officers on a busy Saturday afternoon. Bob no doubt enjoys this fanfare, this showman ship, this “putting on the dog,” but it should be stopped. We have no kings in this nation or this state. There is too much democracy in this country, too much equality to accord a plain Senator such “triumphant travel” on a political mission or pleasure trip. Yes, there ought to be a law in North Carolina against using the highway patrol for anything other then their regular duties as such. Capt. Farmer, in charge of the patrol, is responsible for his men and how they spend their time on duty. Tt is up to him to put a stop to such nonsense. POLLING THE RACE Taking a poll to ascertain the sentiment of the pub lic is proving quite a fad, not only in politics but in busi ness as well. , Carl Goerch of The State magazine is passing out cards to a general run of citizens in various cities asking that they express their choice for Governor of North Carolina and each week he will carry the result of the poll. The Asheville-Ttimes-Citizen is sending reporter Claude Ramsey on a tour of the State to ascertain the attitude of men and women he can contact on the Gov. emor’s race. In both the personal and card polls, a strong sentiment is shown for Clyde R. Hoey. Even in i the East where the McDonald and Graham strength lips, Hoey holds his own or a lead over his opponents. Certainly the people will choose with the whole rec o£d and position of the candidates on important ques tions of State placed before them ere the June primary. Candidate McDonald, only 12 years in North Carolina. was the first to start campaigning and his attitude has been one of criticism of things as they are. He would abolish the sales tax entirely with one sweep but has never ventured to say where he would get the money to replace it. If he would return a tax on real estate for state purposes, he would incur the opposition of the farmer and the small home owner. McRae, Hoey and Graham would put exemptions back on food necessities, submit the liquor question to a referendum and abide by the result. Certainly the interest in the Governor’s race will warm up with the spring season and taking newspaper polls serves to add zest. -- LOPING DRIVING LICENSES Day after day the newspapers are publishing the names of auto drivers convicted of driving while drunk on the public highway and for which offense to drive has been revoked. To those who depend on driving a car for a liveli hood, such as truck drivers, collectors, salesmen, etc., the loss of the privilege of driving is severe punishment, but no more than they deserve. The publicity naturally hurts, but persons guilty of this offense are responsible for their own misfortune and have no one to blame but themselves. Every driver of a motor vehicle in North Carolina has had ample warning in literature sent to them when they receive their license to drive and their new license plate and through the public press that driv er’s licenses will be revoked for a period of time if such a person is convicted of driving drunk. Courts have no discretion in the matter. The law plainly prescribes a revokation of license for conviction. Also two convictions for reckless driving calls for revo cation of license. The public should be protected against one who would venture out on the road behind the steering wheel of a motor car under the influence of intoxicants. A drunken driver is more dangerous to the safety of others than a man armed with a pistol firing at random on the Shelby court square. At a meeting of 37 officers of the State highway patrol in Asheville a few days ago, Arthur Fulk, State director of highway safety announced that the revoking law is having the effect of less drunk driving on the highways. “Under the terms of the law,” says Mr. Fulk, “we are required to make public the names of drivers whose licenses have been revoked."

It is a most piti ful expose of my former self as to physique. Intellect, and attire. I recall the time when that picture was made tout X cant think of any reason for It. had on the Jeans (woolen) suit mother had made for me a or 8 years before. X didn’t get new clothes exoept when it became absolutely Impossible for me to squeese Into the remains of my old ones. on account of cotton selling at less that) • cents per pound, none of us got any new thing* for sev er el years. The suit that X wore when X was ‘"struck" waa about 6 rises too small for me. I had evi dently grown • Inches taller, and 4 inches wider since It waa made. I was barefooted. That waa en tirely normal. The britches legs ended Immediately south of my knee*, but they originally reached to my anklet. The aleevea barely passed my elbows. The coat lacked 5 inches buttoning, and the collar had me by the throat Ilka a atrang ler. I could sea that my old bed* ticking gallusses were fattened to my britches by skewers, the but tons having disappeared months and months before. It looked like X had been melted and poured Into that outfit. My shirt was made of hickory stripes and It had 8 pearl buttons on It when I wore it the first and second times, but they too had given away, and thorns were serving in their stead. My hair was white and pointed due north. My eyes were squinted like X was gaslng directly at the sun. My mouth was warped west* ward, and 8 flies wort plainly vis ible walking towards the opening in my noae or mouth. An old leath er sling was hanging out of my right pocket, and X had my hand in the other pocket. I could tell eas ily that X had only 4 nails on my id toss, and. Judging from the way X waa leaning against a wall. X must of have had a couple of stone rules* on my heels. That picture made me look almost ugly as X am today.

When I *M a boy, my father managed to keep me so busy all the time, never had much chance to get into any aerious meanness. One of the evil* that afflicted our family was a blacksmith shop. When it was raining, or the ground waa too wet to plow, hoe or ditch, that blacksmith shop kept me busy. Turning a grindstone was one of my moat regular tasks. Everything on the place from iron wedges to •OOVtl hoes had to be sharpened, rsgarleaa of whether they were dull or not. I blowed the bellows a right smart, and helped . at the anvil vary frequently, and shoo-ed mule* and horses when they didn't kick too rampant. Other thorns In the flesh on our plantation were a cotton gin, a thresher, a saw mill, a grist mill, and a ’lasses mill. Anything that was classed as machinery oould be sold to us without any trouble. When I was • years of age. I ran an engine, and knew better than to let the steam go down or the wa ter get low In the boiler. My parents knew more about how to us* a iwltch. board, suck of stove-wood or any other Instru ment of torture within reach than the common run of paws and maws. Tanning our hide was not a pleasant undertaking with them, but they reallaed'that lots of tan ning was necessary for our own rood. Dogwood brush-brooms had more pain per lick than green peachtree hickories or leather straps. A real first-class beating with a S-foot switch generally lasted me a or S days, and then It had to be done all over again. When us boys were called in the morning some where around 4:10, we bounced out of bed flop, flop, because we knew that the second call would be mad* with an obstruction standing in our dor on the way out ... . with something In his hand that didn't grow there. Funny how children argue and talk back to thair parents now-a lay*. Thi only talking back we rvsr did was*—‘yes-sir and yes marn," Wa didn't even risk saying - May I scratch my back first, or 111 do that after dinner.” I am seared to death to tell my children to do a thing: Xm afraid they would refuse, and that would put me on the spot, so I do everything for them, and call 'em ‘'Darling” STep, after they get over 5 years old they begin to rule the household like unto a dictator Your iriend.

Washington Daybook By HERBERT PLUMMER (Associated Press SUM Writer; WASHINGTON.—Members of th house are a little cagey about admi ting it openly, but nine out of^tei will say privately tne decision ti have a congres sional committee investigate the money raising and spending activities of the Townsend organisation leone of the best politi cal breaks they have had In a long time. They don’t care to have such an impression gain circulation In their home districts. They took precautions at the ttnv the investigation was ordered ti see that no roll call vote was hac on the proposition. Such a vote wa asked, but only one member cami to its support when Speaker Byrne; put the question. While members of the house maj not have exactly what Represents ttve Main of Michigan, recentl; elected on a Townsend platform describes as the "political Jitters,’ they nevertheless refuse to takt the muehiy-vaunted voting strengtl of the Townsendites lightly. "It’a the principal topic of con versation when two or more mem bers get together," is the way one representative puts it. • » • Especially is this true among that slceable bloc in the hous* which began service either after the Roosevelt landslide of 1932 or th< even more impressive sweep at th< polls In 1934. There are exactly 111 representatives whose tenure of of fice dates back to 1932 and 102 tc 1934—219 in all, or a majority of thi house. These members, especially the 10! elected in 1934, can't afford to take any long chances. Most of their had no particular political back ground of national Import before they came to congress. They simply rode in on the unprecedented demo cratic wave of popularity. Each i: up for reelection this year at a time when there is serious doubt if the popularity of the Democrats wil bold. They've heard Dr. Townsend say himself that the present congrew “is made up of persons pledged t< their party and damn the public, but that “the' rail of 1936 will se< both major parties dead as a door nail and In their place a Townsenc congress.” " ‘ And while they may regard the doctor’s claim as extravagant, i has made theip think. * » • * Hope for Townsend Dirt The congressional investigation o Townsend activity offers them < possible way out. That explains why 240 voted for it and only foui against. They hope the house committei will uncover enough evidence con cerning the money-raising anc spending activities of the Townsenc organisation to take the sting off oi them in their reelection campaigns The inquiry will be going on at th< time primary elections are being held—an lmporant factor. Hie widest publicity it assurer the investigation. The slightest thing uncovered by the committee will march across the front page. In the boldest type. Members oi congress will be quick to make poli tical capital of whatever is tumec up. Pleasant Hill Has Week-End Visitors (Special to The Star.) PLEASANT HILL.

HOW'S qawi HEALTH EJledby Dr U*<* la (hr New York AcaJeny ot Mrrfcmr > 1 The Cancer Problem j “Cancer has ceased to be an un ’! accountable mystery and we need I no longer tear that Its solution sur passes the wit of man," writes Dr. W. £. Gye, director of the imperial cancer research fund of England. An abstract of his review of prog ress made In cancer study follows: The pessimism with which both public and medical profession view ed the cancer problem at the be ginning of the century can hardly be appreciated today. The extreme confusion of thought in this field warranted much of the pessimism Thirty years ago It was thought by many that cancer was a disease i limited to man and that It occurred ,[only in civilized communities. The ^impression was also widespread, as [lit still is in a measure even today, . I that cancer is Increasing rapidly. Talk was common of cancer fam- ’ i Hies and .cancer houses. Almost I everything was blamed for it. Geo logic formations, soil, climate, diet arc! dwelling proximities to trees and rivers were suspected of bear ing a causative relation to cancer. Cancer was thought by some to 1 be infectious and even contagious • Cancer germs" were "discovered i and re-dlscovered” time and again. ■ Many theories were propounded to explain the origin of cancer, and because of their number and the flimsy basis on which they rested, they added to confusion rather than understanding. The break in this reign of confu sion came with the realization that cancer is not “a disease of civilized man.” First veterinary surgeons ob served it in dogs and horses. Later it was shown that cancer Is to be found in rats and that tumors of one rat can be tranamit 1 ted to other rats by the transplan tation of the cancerous tissue. Hu man cancer, however, could not be propagated in animals, nor could the cancer of one species of animal be transmitted to another species. Talks To \ ! Parents , i ! ■ ll ; By BROOKE PETERS CHURCH j Personal Remarks There seem to be two codes oft 1 Manners in the world—one lor chil dren, the other for adults. Nowhere ts this more evident than In the question of personal remarks. If Tommy came into the room where ■ his mother was receiving guests and permitted himself to say to the as sembled company the same kind of thing which they say to and about him, he might cause some excite ' ment. Imagine the scene "How fat you are What do you' eat to get that way? Has the cat got your tongue or don't you kqow how tu talk? What pretty curia! Are they real? Let me pull am . 'hy do your teeth stick out?” No doubt he thinks all or many of these things about the people he meets, but if he says them he is in trouble at once. Prom babyhood, he is taught by an anxious mother not to make personal remarks. Adults, however, seldom follow this rule in talking to children. The child has no comeback, and so they are safe or caring how galling to the youngsters some or their best efforts are. The shy child is accused of dumb ness; the talkative child is called a chatterbox; the half-grown boy is leased about his first long trousers, or his changing and uncertain voice. Some children like the com ment and eventually turn out in sufferable attention seekers; others emerge from the ordeal breathing vengeance on all adults. Personal remarks, whether pleas- j ant or unpleasant, are odious unless I they are between equals or mac / with exquisite tact. There should be I but one code of manners, and it should be based, not on fear of con sequences, but on kindness and con sideration for the feelings of others "Incandescent” means white or ! glowing with heat Beware Coughs from common colds That Hang On No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial irritation, you can get relief now with Creomul6ion.
