SHORES, Editor An Old Lady In Laurel Springs Yesterday the Legislature ad journed in honor of an old lady in Laurel Springs. She was 94 years old, which was in itself an achieve ment, but her reason for being proud was more fundamental than that. The lady was Mrs. Rebecca Dough ton. One of her sons, Congressman R. L. Doughton. as head of the pow erful Ways and Means Committee of the United States House of Repre sentatives was in Washington labor ing with the shaping of the fiscal policies of the nation upon, which depend President Roosevelt’s plans for reconstruction. The other, Rep resentative R. A. Doughton. was in Raleigh, where as head of the im portant Finance Committee of the North Carolina House of Represen tatives, he was busy with the fi nancial future of North Carolina. Few ladies live so long as Mrs. Doughton, and fewer still live to see her sons attain such success as Mrs. Doughton’s sons have attained. More remarkable than that, it is unlikely that any mother ever saw her two sons bearing at the same time the responsibilities for shaping the fi nances of their State and their na tion. The adjournment yesterday by the House in honor of Mrs. Doughton was a proper token of respect for the mother of flesh and blood and em phasized the pride which the Statd as a mother shares in the Doughton boys with the old lady in Laurel Springs.—News and Observer. More Confidence, Better Times It was said far and wide during recent weeks that the best sign of the hour was upping public confi dence. Now we find evidences of recovery beginning to appear in the business statistics. TfEe indext of wholesale prices, which has been declining steadily for months, recently made its first sustained rise. Farm products have shown an improved trend. An up turn in car loadings has appeared. There is a substantial increased de mand for many household appli ances. Indications toward the end of March were that commercial fail ures would be the lowest for seven or eight years. Everyone is agreed that recovery will be gradual and most are like wise agreed that it will be steady until things become stabilize^. and that there need be no fear of im portant recessions. New money is appearing due largely to the war on hoarding and it is providing jobs and stimulating production. Personally we cannot understand the attitude of certaili Senators throwing monkey wrenches in the machinery in an effort to retard the gradual reconstruction. It would be our policy to co-oper ate with the movement, even though it was conducted in such a way that we did not approve. We are at a loss to understand the attitude of Senator Long. of Louisiana, who appears to be ready ' to break ranks from practically all Democratic Senators in their whole hearted support of the way President Roosevelt has planned to bring back normal times to the United States. If publicity is what he is after, then he certainly is geting his just deserts. Gardens Being Planted As Relief Measure The planting of gardens by indi viduals and by municipalities and industrial plants, as a relief measure is proceeding at a rapid rate in j Nortli Carolina. Charles A. Shef-; field, assistant extension director at State College, and agricultural di rector for the Governor's relief of fice, states that approximately 130, 000 relief families in the State will grow the subsistence gardens this spring and that more than 50 cities and towns are planting community gardens. “There are families living in towns and cities where the individ ual garden cannot be had and for these folk, community farm gardens cultivated as a unit and ranging in size from 5 to 3 00 acres are being planted,” Sheffield says. “This, type of garden operates as a work relief project and will produce a large sup-, ply of foods that may be conserved for fall and winter distribution to needy families.” , . ■ ; i j, The agricultural extension service of State College is co-op,eating with the Governor’s relief office in the work. Most counties hare welfare officers who are directors of relief and some counties hare both the welfare organization as well as the < relief organization. All these agen- c cies are being used in developing the garden idea. Standard garden seed packages are being distributed to families needing relief and 130,000' copies of a garden calendar have been printed for distribution. Mr. Sheffield says the work is be ing efficiently organized throughout the State and that the relief offi cials are getting excellent co-opera tion. The plan offers a program of self-help for the unemployed and will mean a large financial saving to the tax-payers. It also means escape from the dole s'ysfem and the retain ing of self-respect by those tempor arily out of work. FOURTH CLASS POSTMASTER EXAMINATION' Receipt of application to close April 21, 1933.
