THE ALLEGHANY TIMES SUBSCRIPTION RATES $1.00 Per Year Published Every Thursday Entered as Second-class matter at the Post-office in Sparta, N. C. ERWIN D. STEPHENS,.Editor THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1933 HUNTING ETHICS Cool days and the approach of win ter begets the urge to grab a gun and trek to field and woods at the opening of the game season. It is also a signal for many breaches of the sportman’s ethics, to say nothing of violations of the law. It is hardly necessary to call the attention of the hunter these days to the fact that he must have a license when he a-hunting goes, if he would remain within the law; he must ob serve the open season for dates for such game as he seeks, and he must get written permission to hunt on the lands of another before he can do sc without violating the trespass law. The farmer who fosters a covey of girds or protects the squirrels on his lands, to the end that he may have the pleasure of hunting them himself, or invite some friend to enjoy it with him, deserves every consideration that the hunter can give. To ruthlessly and unceremoniously trespass on his preserves, is to invite trouble that cannot be justified. The man who claims to be a good sportsman will not only be consider ate of the man on whose land he hunts, but he will be considerate of the game itself. If he would hunt an other year, or if he has a boy he wants to have recreation in the years to come, he will not kill everything in sight, just for the joy of killing. A vast amount of antagoism may be avoided, if the man who hunts will only use a little common sense and make personal application of the gol den rule when he shoulders & gun and goes into the fields or woods. Some what of pain and inconvenience, too, may be avoided, if he makes himself acquainted with the law, and follows its provisions.—Elkin Tribune. TO AID CLOSED BANKS If the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration can release a billion dollars of frozen deposits in defunct banks, as President Roosevelt plans to do, it will go far toward reviving faith and hope. For literally thousands ol people have all their capital tied up in these closed banks. In North Car olina there are millions of dollars in deposits in closed banks. The Roosevelt administration plans to encourage orderly liquidation by making loans to closed banks on sound assets to make it possible to pay dividends to depositors up to 50 per cent. If this can be done, the de positors, in many cases, would be re latively in the same position had thej invested their money. For in most cases, the value of property depre ciated to 40 or 50 per cent of its va lue at the height of the boom period. True, the payments of dividends tc depositors will come at a time when prices of commodities are increasing, and the value of money is less than it was during the bottom of the de pression. But whatever is paid, it will provide a nest egg for depositors in closed banks to start business again. More than that, it will be con crete evidence that the period of pa nic is over. It will be another step to encourage faith and confidence. After all, that is the big thing.—Raleigh News and Observer. A few months ago the most talk ed-about subject of them all was in flation. Then it practically dropped out of the day’s news. The President had been given the powers he want ed, and nothing drastic happened. It looked as if they wouldn’t be used after all. Now inflation is preparing to take its place in the headlines again. The Administration’s desire for a "man aged dollar” has not abated; it was simply shelved for a time while other and more pressing matters were be ing handled. A managed dollar is one which, in terms of buying power, does not deviate in value; it will buy as many eggs, automobiles, suits of cloths and what-not one year as the next. Our present kind of dollar is constantly deviating. Where its buy ihg power, one the basis of a fixed normal, was sixty or seventy cents at the height of the boom, it rose to $1.50 at the low in commodity prices we reached last summer and fall. The President has two courses open in inflating the currency. Most obvi ous course is to lower the gold con tent of each dollar. Then by varying it from time to time, the dollar will theoretically possess a constant value and will be immune to important va riations. Another course is to order the Federal Reserve to buy large blocks of government securities in the open market, thus expanding the Federal credit. This would not create a stable dollar; it would, however, be tremendously helpful in providing a market for new Treasury securities. 1 Opponents of inflation say that the 1 managed dollar is a golden dream which is impossible of realization, and . point to the disastrous effects of ex- • treme inflation in Germany and else where. Administration spokesmen say that miscarriage of a plan does n’t necessarily mean the plan is i wrong. The public, confused by tech- 1 nicalities, is simply in a waiting . mood. i REASONS FOR BUYING NOW by H. I. Phillips in the New York Sun Money makes nightmare go. * * * * * Buy now! Whatever you spend will be a contribution to your own welfare * * * * * Spending a dollar today may hurt a little but it will make spending $5 practically painless in a few months. Don.t say “Oh, that's just another slogan!” You’ll only be like the dough boy who decided bugle calls were too monotonous to answer. * * * * * It’s all right to be thrifty but you can keep America flat on her ears by overdoing it. $ $ i}: $ $ You all cheered for Recovery; who did you expect was going to do the work ? * * * * * Why say you can’t afford it? When your house is burning down would you hesitate to put a nickle into the pay station to get the fire depart ment? ***** You’ll hear the old Scoffers Bri gade saying that the recovery drive can’t work, but the fellow who tries to belittle a movement like this is like the man who stands by a sinking steamer in his yacht and criticizes the way the sailonrs are handling the lifeboats. * * * * * Never mind singing the National Anthem; go on out and spend a little doqgh. It looks more sincere. * * * * * Flag waving is okay, but nobody ever balanced a budget that way. * * * * * If you cheered when the New Deal was first proclaimed and you balk at going on a little spending bender now what role are you rehearsing for, pa triot or kibitzer? ***** That hat looks phooney anyhow an if your suit gets any higher polish on it you can use it for a shaving mirror. ***** For once in your life surprise the little woman by tellink her you are tired of her in that fur coat. ***** Don’t say “Look how higher prices are now than they were six months ago.” (Unless you were satisfied with conditions six months ago.) It may be the root of all e4il, as the philosophers say, but there never was a time when the country needed more rooters. ***** The trouble with the average shop per is the same as the trouble with the average golfer; he is too tight. * * * * * Don’t wait for the other fellow to do the spending; he’s waiting for you. Advertising people, many of them welcome the new order of things. The old, cut and dried advertising of yes terday is “out” and a newer and, it ishoped, better kind of advertising is being ushered in. However, it is interesting to note the remark of a young man who came from the great open spaces to the great city recently. He was one of those regular “gosh awfuls” in his own home town—wore college clothes and all that. The first thing he did upon arriving in New York was to become personal ly acquainted with “the Great White Way.” This, you understand, was af ter dark. uring the day he called on various people in the advertising business on Madison avenue, Lexington avenue Park avenue and “thedistrict.” His contracts were most of them “big time.” Being an observing cuss he watched things and learned. Not long ago, at lunch he said: “From now on I buy labels. I don’t care about the merchandise. I buy labels. And labels that mean some thing.” • Being quizzed he said. “My hat will bear a label that means something. My suits will have a label that means something. My shoes will have a la bel, and an appearance that means something. I am sold on labels—that is high class labels—labels that stand for something big.” That is advertising. Advertisers ma king their labelmean something more than “Bargain” are again in the run ning. Those stores that have kept up the standard are again coming into their own. The stores that have met the popular demand, and cheapened their lines are going to have to crawl back—if they ever get back. It is hard to live down a bad name, either in business or otherwise, and the mer chants who have stuck to their guns are now in a position to cash in on their steadfastness to standards. The newer generation is going to demand standards, just as they have been demanding price. They have found that the value must be taken from the merchandise before it can ae taken from the price, and, having seen stung, they are “gun shy” on such things. Good merchandise, fairly priced and tept at the right price is the thing ;hat is going to build the business of ;he furture. It will require a lot of ad vertising and a lot of living up to the idvertising.but a better day in adver ting is dawing. Editorial in Newsdom Changchun, Oct. 21—Manchukuo low has its own navy in three gun joats recently launched in Kobe,1 Japan. The crft will be used chiefly igainst bandits on the Sungari river. i Mr. Roosevelt’s Pledge “Not another winter like the last!” That was Mr. Roosevelt’s pledge when he came to office. The N. R. A., the A. A. A., the N. I. R. A., and the rest, to give them the initials by which they are now usually known, were brought into being for that pur pose. The President himself has said that they all represent emergency, as distinct from Iongviews measures, and the theory is that they will be discarded when emergency passes. The N. R. A. has done some excell ent things, and it has made good headway. But it hasn’t done all that was hoped. Men have been put back to work--but not nearly so many as was anticipated. Wages have been up ped in most industries—but it’s ob vious that many units within those industries aren’t going to be able to ! pay them unless credit strings are i loosened. The problem is not only to make further gains against depres sion, but to hold unimpaired the gains that have already been made. The way the wind is blowing is in dicated by the latest Presidential an nouncement—he is planning a great federal non-profit corporation to buy essential supplies and distribute them to the needy during the winter. It has been the hope that direct releif of this sort would not be necessary, but as matters have developed it ap pears necessary if the bitter experi ence of last winter is to be avoided. That’s why inflation talk has bob bed into the headlines again. Many observers,including some who have qualified as experts,believe that if the recovery drive is to be continued on present lines,inflation is unavoidable. Senator Thomas, Senate Number 1 in flationist, has been threatening a march of 100,000 men on Washington unless the printing presses in the Tre asury building begin humming. Sen ator Pittman of Nevada,whose princi pal mission in life is to get benefits for silver, wants inflation through the free silver route. Farm groups have been hot on the trail of Secretary Wallace,because he said that inflation wouldn’t be a farmers’ cure-all. in tne race or all this, Mr. Roose velt has kept his head,his humor, and his sense of balance unimpaired. He has learned how to say "No” with po lite definiteness, and he is a master of evasion when that seems to be the soundest course. He doesn’t want cur rency inflation,and he will accept it only when everything else has been tried and has failed. His solution is of an entirely different kind—credit inflation. There is no especial lack in the country of money—the problem is how to get it out of hiding and put it to work. If £hat can be done,he be lieves, it will be found thgt currency inflation is unnecessary. The Federal Reserve and the Reconstruction Fi nance Corporation will be his princi pal tools at first. On latest report, the President was preparing to have the latter buy the preferred stock of banks which are still closed, thereby releasing billions now frozen in de posits which the owners can’t get, to provide additional purchasing pow er. Intimately associated with inflation and recovery, is the question of the dollar. A while ago the managed dol lar was news. In the near future there is going to be a lot of talk about the compensated dollar,the creation of George F. Warren, a Cornell profess or, who was given the job of studying dollar devaluation and stabilization by the President. The compensated dollar would,like the familiar one, be redeemable in gold’,but with this ba sic difference—the amount of gold it was worth would not be fixed, but would vary with the wholesale com modity price level. As Professor War ren said, “This proposal would give the dollar a fixed value and a rubber weight.” The dollar we know is all gold—his dollar is what he thinks to be judicious blending of the fixed and the pliable. In the language of Uncle Dock Taylor, what seems to be the trouble mostly with our country today, is “Most of our people have forgotten the birthright and fellowship of their fellowman.” . . . And like as not this statement could be lauded by every person aware of present-day methods and selffish motives to that end in which scruples are forgotten, and but few of us would sanction. . . Well, that man, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, preceded to tell ’em a few things over the air last Sunday nite . . ..and we imagine how some of these boys felt when reference was made to mer chandise effected with higher price levels (made necessary by the NRA) but blamed on the cotton processing tax. The merchant was very apt is saying that due to to this tax a $1.25 cotton shirt had to be sold for $2.25, when only the tax amounted to 4U cents. . . And Mr Roosevelt empha sized a determination to put the pro gram launched following his oath of office into action, and stated that insofar as "we were headed in the right direction, normal recovery could not be accomplished in a day.” Bob Reynolds, who has just con ceived a few ideas of Russia and its method of controlling liquor, opened up the speaking campaign in Alle ghany county for the wets Monday. Theres one quarter of the game yet to be played, and like- a football game as far advanced, theres plenty of time—and so far as we know, it looks like anybody’s game. Wet or dry—there’ll always be a source of supply prevalent in N. C. because Virginia’s back-door is too close, and over there the chorus has been announced: “Carry me back to Ol Virginny!” TO BUY CANNED TOMATOES The loeal relief office has un taken to feed at lunch the under nourished children in the Sparta and Piney Creek High Schools. In connection with this project the relief office would like to pur chase canned tomatoes from citi zens of the county, at the lowest possibleiigure, since funds for this purpose are limited. Those who have canned tomatoes to sell should get in touch with Mrs. R. D. Gentry at Sparta. Spostsmen, Be Considerate A true sportsman has a genuine consideration for the game he hunts and the place he hunts. Do not des trop the farmer’s crops, deface his property or trespass unlawfully. Be careful when and where you shoot. The farmer’s stock is his weaith. To destroy it by carelessness is to banish al good sportsmen from the privilege of using another’s land on which you shoot for pleasure. Caution your friends to avoid the destruction of birds and nests during nesting season. Better Breakfasts , THIS happened iri pre-prohild tion days. “How can you take such an interest in your breakfast?’’ asked a battered old rounder of a rosy cheeked friend who was ordering his breakfast in a restaurant with great care. “It’s the best meal of the day for me,” replied the latter. “How can you take any interest in your breakfast at all?” . , “I can’t!” groaned the latter, and turned away. In case you would like to know what the man who enjoyed his breakfast ordered, here is his rnenu.^ It will taste even better, if served in your own home. In your own home use canned figs, and leave them In the ice box J ! over night. After this breakfast you’ll start off to business whist ling, or whatever it is that you do when you feel just right. Figs with Cream Cereal Deviled Cream Toast Strawberry Preserves Coffee And here’s how to make the: Deviled Cream Toast: Make a cream sauce of three tablespoons [ butter, three tablespoons flour and two cups milk (or diluted evap orated milk.) Add the contents of a 2%-ounce can of deviled ham and stir smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve on toast. Serves six.* I Red Cross Poster of 1933 Appeals for Help for Needy MOUNT ZION NEWS (By Claude J. Smith) J. R. Cox, of Furches, visited rela tives in the community Tuesday of last week. D. J.
