rights and pride of all former service
mene The Legion and other organiza-
lions have bitterly opposed such a
clause, they have asked only justice
and never charity for the disabled. 1t
is the concensus of opinion that the
Federal Government should assume the
obligation of rehabilitation and well
fare of all disabled men and their de-
pendents, without the added humilia-
ton of an oath such as contemplated.
1t would appear that those persons
who fought the war with their
mouths and won the victory with
their dollars, while the disabled
bought our national peace with their
most precious possession, health, would
consolidate their position of superiority
by removing the last possession of
value, pride, from the disabled. Join
the Legion Buddy, lets present a
front so solid, armed with the only
weapon hat that type fears, that we
blast utterly this Infamous proposal.
By concerted effort, by unselfsh le-
votion to the cause we stand for; the
maximum help for the helpless; by
consolidated strength shown through
a united membership in the Legion;
we will be in a position when the
challenge is flung down, to answer in
the words of Col. Whittlesy of the
Lost Battalion: Surrender hell, we
have just begun to fight"

STORE, 3 HOUSES BURN

Rockingham.-A large two-ktory
and three dwellings were completely
destroyed by fire in Roberdel mill
village, two miles southeast of Rock
ingham. The property, with exception
of one small house belonged to L. F.
McCaskill, who is a member of the
board of county commissioners. His
loss is estimated at $4,000, with
around $4,000 insurance. Absence of
any wind probably saved a dozen or
more cottages in Hannah Pickett Mill
village. A line of hose was laid from
Roberdel mill and prevented the
spread of the fire on the Roberdel
side of the burning structures.

The Samuel c. Hart Post was
officially credited by State headquar-
tiers with 259 memberships fully paid
up for 1882 at midnight of Novem-
Der 11th., since then we have added
others.259 members was the total
attained in 1881, many of which were
enrolled in August and September,
consequently to have achieved the
maximum 1881 membership for 1882
in the 70 days that had elapsed since
the start of the new membership
year on October GOTH, is a feat never
before approached by our Post. This
enrolment speaks well for our Post
locally, and gives us a citation from
National and State Headquarters. 1t
is believed that no other Post in our
class has equalled or surpassed this re-
cord. Those members who have work
ed to attain this record deserves the
thanks of the membership, and are
hereby accorded the salute reserved
for generals.
The grapevine brings news Of i'm
pending legislation to be placed before
the next Congress. Some of the die
hards who miss the pork pickings
propose to place a law before the two
houses making it necessary that any
ex-service man must sign a 'Paupers
Oath" before being placed puon the
compensation or disability rolls. That
oath is abhorrent to the American
Legion, it is a dastardly blow at the
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1931-11-20

Carden-Raising Seen
AntidOte for Trouble
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Some 80 years ago Detroit was in
the midst OF a famine; starvation
threatened the poor Of the city. The
then Mayor Pingree called the city
pastors to his Office and said to them,
Preach what you please Sunday noon.
but at night want you to preach Food
for Your Families"
He said: For the poor I will have
their yards and patches plowed.
will furnish seed potatoes and other
seeds, and there must be some food
raised or will raise q row with beg
gers"
The result was wonderful gardens of
potatoes, beans and all sorts of veg
etables for the families and much for
as Potato Patch Pingree."
Later Potato Patch Pingree" was
elected Governor of Michigan, doubt
less as an appreciation.
Wise viii Rogers says, This cruel
crisis can hardly pass until another
crop is raised" Would it not be well
for our pastors to "advise their listeners
to get busy? May be better to raise
gardens than rear runtS.
Too many are complaining about the
Government and praying for a dole.
This world has known seven years Of
famine. Who would have believed that
this awful condition was coming?
am no friend to old Grouchy Gloom. I
hate the calamity ravers, but bad times
are here, and the prosperity predicters
guarantee nothing. Those who can had

ble-raising. Leave that job to the Com

mEton they are familiar sights in
the streets. They are a commonplace
spectacle, attracting no attention. Yet
at one of the most vital points in the
circuit Of transportation from city to
city, in the stretch from postal car to
post ONCE, the guard, as this happily
inexpensive episode has demonstrated
has been weakened to the point at
which successful attack upon the treas
ure was absurdly easy.

line. So long as crime is rife, so long
as certain percentage of people are

Crime cannot be wholly eradicated.
But through the maintenance of effec-
tive barriers it can be made unprofit-

From the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
The whole wide world is going in
for good roads this year on a greater
scale than ever before, If the national
programs are outlined at the twelve
months beginning are carried into effect.
On the basis of reports received from ITO
nations and political subdivisions" our
Commerce Department estimates the
world expenditure for highway construc-
ton in 1891 at $4,000, 100000. APP
proximately two-thirds of this huge
total will be spent, 1t is explained, here
In the United States. But dozens Of
other nations either are increasing their
budgets for general highway building
or are making special and addi-
tional allotInents for specific highway
projects.
This international good roads con-
seriousness" is largely a product Of the
worldwide depression. AS a general
thing, 1t is explained, the increased ex-
penditufes for highways are provided as
"a direct measure of relief for unem-
ployment." But it is pointed out that
"the permanent character of the works
will, of course, bring lasting benefits to
the countries concerned" Incidentally
it should stimulate and stabilize the
demand for the motor vehicles which
In their turn have so powerfully slim
ulated and stabilized the demand for
good roads. It is even conceivable that
this y-product benefit" If 1t may be
so called, to an industry In which the
United States enjoys leadership may
have prompted the world survey of road
building activities by our own Govern
ment agencies.

one may enjoy It, one may appreciate
1t so, but he can scarcely know 1t in
the way he knows the sunshine on the

as the latest type radio puts long air

Here on the Avenue the trees and
shrubs look greener already, despite
the Winter tinge OF gray which has
come into them, aided by the long and
still-continuing drought.
Did any one think the dry spell over?
Far from it, alas! And unless meteoro-
logical matters change largely for the
better, 1881 will see a worse drought
than 1890.
For that reason every rain now is an
event, and this one is (perhaps we
should say was) no exception. In addt-
ton to the normal picturesque quail
ties which any good rain possesses, this
one Is an aid toward restoration OF nor
NAL precipitation, so much to be de-
sired.

Here, at the intersection of these

which the citizens Of the community

In the meantime, however, the chill

One of the finest things about rainy

No matter how much you enjoy your
walk, how gloriously Rain-in-the-Face
performed for you, 1t is relief to come
out of 1t at last, and to get of wet
coats and stultifying overshoes.
This is the best time to enjoy looking

warm, where formerly he was wet, chilly
and soggy. Contrast 1t is one Of the

The Papal Broadcast.

If anything more were needed to con-
vince skeptical world that we are liv-
ing in an age Of miracles, yesterdays
worldwide broadcast of two addresses
by Pope Plus XXI would supply the evil
dence. Enthroned on a dais in the
brand-new radio station Of the Vatican
City, the Supreme Pontiff faced micro
phone which carried his voice and bene-
diction to 100000, 900 Roman Catholic
faithful throughout the globe and to
others, unaeiliated with the church, who
were no less thrilled by the epoch-mak-
ing transmission from Rome.
Plus ranks as the most modern of
Popes. He long since ceased to be 1.-THE
prisoner of the Vatican" He faces the
multitudes outside the hoary walls of
st. Peters. He uses an automobile. On
his desk is telephone Of latest pattern.
It is eminently fitting that the first of
the holy fathers TO avail himself of the
inventions and conveniences which
science has placed at mankind's dis
posal should invoke the century,s latest
magic-radio-to commune with the
Christian universe. As his holiness was
inspecting the wonders of the installa-
ton for which radios most celebrated
pioneer, Signor Marconi, is mainly re-
sponsible, Plus expressed the intention
of broadcasting periodically over the
globe -girdling ware lengths now at his
command.
The mind fairly staggers In imagina-
ton at what the history Of the world
might have been If the Caesars, Hanni-
bal, Demosthenes, Homer, Darwin-the
conquerors and scholars and teachers of
all time-had had dominion over the
illimitable facilities which the micro
phone henceforward offers the Popes of
Rome. If the messages of justice, char
ity and peace which the Vatican City
radio station flashed through the ether
Of both hemispheres yesterday are SYM
bolical Of the future broadcasts from
that exalted quarter, the world can only
hope that Plus XXI will be ION the air"
often.
