After Many Weeks on Unnecessary
Job, County Road Force Prepares
For Work That Is Really Needed

paralleling the state highways
and generally about two miles
from it. About a mile beyond
the county home from Efland is
Fairfield church. Near the
church the new road now under
discussion has it's beginning. 1t
runs west toward Alamance
county, paralleling, in general,
the road from the county home
and being not much more than a
mile distant therefrom at any
one point.
1t was upon this project that
Mckee and his men were put to
work. Some sort of road
was there before, but it was
nothing much more than a trail
and it ran through a country
where the traffic was not heavy.
The job was not primarily an
operation Of repair-it was es-
sentially new construction. And,
while it went on, the roads else
where in the county, that had to
be traversed every week by
thousands of people, were left
neglected.
Citizens of the county who
have observed the enterprise
have not failed to comment upon
the fact that the new road
runs by Commissioner Hammers
home.
From time to time, for sew
eral years, the southern part of
Orange county has given voice
to criticism of the county gov
ernment on the score that the
road forces did not give the
southern part a fair share of
their attention, but this has not
been a case of north against
south. For the northern sec
ton, too, these last two months,
has suffered from the neglect of
it's existing roads. A man who
lives near Cedar Grove said this
week: eve people up here, at
least those with whom l have
talked about the matter, can't
see why the county force should
have been giving so much time
to this new road. 1t doesn't

Chapel Hill Chaf

! am eagerly awaiting news
of whether w. P. Jacocks, who
lives in Ceylon, got the radio
message which l filed with
Parker Baggett when the school
of engineering had it's big show
last week. Then for the first
time learned of the vast ex-
tent of the communications
through amateur stations scat
tered all over the world. Mr..
Daggett showed me a postcard
from a man in Adelaide, Aus
tralia, who had picked up a
message that started from
Chapel Hill, and a similar ac-
acknowledgement had come from
Borneo.
The visitors to the radio room,
on the evening of the show, were
invited to file. messages to far
distant places. DR.. Jacocks
used to be a great football play
er and his interest in the game
has never tagged so | addressed
to him the following lines:
"New stadium getting along
well. Acknowledge receipt of
this by mail at once" Mr.. Dag
gett told me this week that he
had got a radiogram from
Riverside, California, saying.
that the message had been re-
ceived there and would be re-
layed on to the Philippines. If
some station in Colombo, Cey-
lon, picks it up and gives it to
DR.. Jacocks, possibly he may be
able to get word back to me
through the air.
What | find particularly in
teresting is the existence of a
great brotherhood of amateur
radio operators. There are
thousands of them whose names,
with descriptions of wave
lengths and whatnot, are set
down in a catalogue. Just for
the fun of the thing they pick
up and pass on messages from
each other. And now every one
of them seems to be laying in
a store Of postcards bearing his
own distinctive design. These
cards go under the name of
"wall paper" because as they
come into each station they are
tackled up on the wall. The
radio room here in the engi-
neering school is plastered with
'em. The colored inks, with red
predominating, make it a bril-
liant display.
Chauncey Royster came back
from Europe last week. For
several months he was in a
school, not far from Paris,
where only French was spoken.
When one of his friends here
greeted him. inst after his ar
rival, he happened not to reply
for a moment, or else his reply
was drowned by motor honk
or some other noise, and the
friend thought he had forgotten
how to speak North Carolinian.
But this was a mistake. He can
still converse in his forefathers'
language.

HIGHWAY SIDEWALKS

Providing for the construction Of sidewalks alongside state highways would cost money. No one doubts their advantage, that they would te a convenience 70 both the road pedcs' rians and the motorists: f is merely q case O. money.
 Sidewalks along highways would not entail the construction Of ce- m.ut walks. but merely the building Of paths that would be easily rec osnized as such and which would insure the safety of those living along the highways in passing along them on foot.
 The s'ate committee on roads, bridges and rivers. being filled with the current state house ideas about economy filed an uafarorabIe report on the bill which called for these paths; and the state senate, disposed similarly, promptly smotherei it.
 The consequence will be that peo- ple will continue 10 be killed while walking along highways.
 However, such deaths will no. cost the state anything.

AN AUTOMOBILE WAR?

isuw0rs for months have had il that the b.g automobile companies were ar!ning themselves for a u- 'aHic struggle. Some ot he rumors have cen,erei around the Ford and General Motors concerns; indeed, mos: Of the fighting was expected 10 take place between these tao top-ao-chars.
 Henry Ford, however, has given no cvi3ence .ha. he is interested in such war. His proponents have pointed out that he could sell his cars for years at cost and still make a handsome profit Of millions annu- ally on the parts. General Motors !s supposed to know this very well and not being situated quite as fa- yorao.y migh. think a long time be- fore making formal declaration Of war.
 No" come rumors, however, in- volYins other automobile concerns: these have been mentioned in con- rcction with possible mergers, etc.
 |, looks as If the automobile in dustry is facing something mildly approaching the sa.uration point, remarks New York commentator. In such q contingency mergers and warfare generally would be among the first results.
 The country is vi.ally interested in what transpires in the automobile industry. Considerable of the na- tion's prosperity has been bull. up around f. New orders this spring are reported as satisfactory and there would seem to be no need for warfare unless the industry itself is not satisfied to let well enough alone.

I\Di SERIAL BAIT

Assessors in many Massachusetts cities are taking it upon themselves 10 save" important textile indus- tries for their municipalities by lowering their valuation for taxation purposes. This appears 70 be en- tiraly within the law. which gives wide latitude 10 assessors in this respect.
 The practice started in q city where the textile concern announoed t would remove it's plant 10 the south if ways and means were not found to reduce local expenses. A radical reduction in taxes vas i'm mediately thought Of; as q result the plant will remain.
 Somebody, however, must pay the taxes, and if the industrial con- carn does not the other toWnspeo- pie will pay it's share in addition 10 their own. Under the circumstances they are willing 10 do this, and at least for the present. How long it will continue may depend upon the future prosperity Of the textile h. dustry in the towns which almost wholly depend upon it for existence.
 Massachusetts has no reason to worry regarding the decline Of the textile industry,' or any other in dustry within it's borders. on the whole there has been no decline.
 The annual report Of the Asso- ciated Industries Of Ma achusctts, just issued, show that during the fi@" calendar years ending with 1926, concerns in Massachusetts ex- pended sllS47G,a4G in new bu'ld- ings and machinery. The figures for 1926 alone show s20,0o0, ,Q0o nxpcnd- cd in this manner, and Of this figure nearly sl9,Oo0,o0 was spent in Greater Boston. mostly in diver sifcl manufacturing.
 New England has heard SO much Of inc Massachusetts textile indus try hitting the rocks that it is crati flying 10 discover that industry as q whole in the Bay state is progress ing.
