JOHN GOOD BOY.
GOODFELLOWS
ARE ASSURED

This mornings mail for the
Goodfellows brought q letter
written in a childish scrawl ask
ing that the Goodfellows remind
Santa Claus of his promise last
year to bring a rain coat and
hat If the writer had been a
good boy and passed from first
to second grade. The writer,
John, assures the Goodfellows he
has been good boy, for his
mother said so, but "since she
went to Heaven" John was
afraid no one would tell Santa
about him.
John is Z years old and is
now living with an aunt and
uncle. His two sisters are in the
country with their grandmother
and get rid~s to school. but John
has five blocks to walk in all
kinds of weather. His uncle Is
taxi driver and does not make
enough money to properly care
for his own family but neverthe-
less, he has taken John into his
family and is doing his level best
for him.
This Is not an exceptional case.
Dozens of similar ones come to
the attention of the Goodfellows
in each mail. Already the Good
fellows of Washington have cared
for a great number of the city'S
needy but there are still many
more to be cared for. It does
not take much to lake the un-
fortunate happy. Just a few
dollars. A few outgrown toys
and clothes for some youngster.
A few words of kindness and
cheer to help the chap in hard
luck. And these are the things
which the Goodfellov supplies.
Join the gang now. Mail in
the coupon Immediately or come
to headquarters and select some
family that you can help. It
will help your own Christmas to
know that you've helped some
worthy family.

Representatives of the Chillum

appear before the subcommittee
of the House Appropriations Com
mittee, now studying the District
budget, early in January to seek
a $4,000 appropriation to cover
the cost Of studies and plans for
construction of viaduct over the
tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad in line with the proposed
extension Of New Hampshire
Avenue.
The Commissioners asked $15,-
600 for this purpose in the 1888
budget, but the item was stricken
out. While the city heads have
declared they will not seek the ap
preparation in the 1894 burget,
they will not oppose it's inclusion,
they have written the citizens

FACTS OF RAILROAD OPERATION

The outstanding features Of railroad ope-
ration in 1881 were recently summarized by
DR.. Julius H. Parmelee, Director, Bureau of
Railway Economics. These facts, among 9TH
ers, were produced:
The level of freight movement in 1881 was
down to that of 1921
Total passenger-miles were less than any
year since 1904.
Total operating revenues were Fl per cent
below 1880, and were lower than in any pre-
vious year since 1917.
Net railway operating income was 40 per
cent under 1880.
Rate of return on railway investment was
1913 per cent, as compared with 1856 per cent
and 4.84 per cent in 1880 and 1929, respec-
lively.
The index of railway efficiency was high
er than in any year from 1920 to 1929, in
elusive, and five factors of railway perform
ance made new records during the year.
To get the full force of these facts, it should
be remembered that the railroads were pre-
vented from making an adequate return on
investment even during years of inflated pros
perity. Thus, they are in a very different po-
sition from industries which, while suffering
bad times now, made large profits during good
years. The relation of railroad taxes to earn
ings steadily rises and more and more railroad
business goes to competing transport agencies,
some subsidized by the government, and all
either unregulated or half regulated.
Even in the face of adversely the rails were
able to make new records in efficiency and
service to the public. But unless something is
done to relieve the lines of their unfair bur
dens they will not be able to do this much
longer. The inevitable result will be a drop in
the standard of service and severe railroad re-
trenchment-and the public will, in the long
run, be the one to suffer when that happens.

TEACH FIRE PREVENTION IN
SCHOOLS

Chief Frank C. McAuliffe of the Chicago
Fire Insurance Patrol, recently advanced the
opinion that fire prevention should be more
widely taught in schools. Fire prevention in
the home, he pointed out, is purely a problem
of instruction, and by putting the subject in
to the school curriculum children will grow
up with an innate knowledge of fire hazards
and dangers and the ways to offset them. The
young mind is much more receptive than the
old one-and the generation which really I'M
derstands the fire menace will be the genera
ton that will conquer it.
Fire prevention lessons on a similar scale
would unquestionably produce equally valu-
able results. The reason our national fire loss
is SO disgracefully high is that SO great a part
of the population is not only careless in it's
habits, but does not understand the simple
ABC'S of fire prevention. Too many adult
minds present a strange resistance to the influx
of knowledge. Making fire prevention a sub
ject in our schools will not solve the problem
today-but it is the best insurance we could
obtain for lowering fire loss ten or twenty
years hence.

VALUE OF A LOCAL NEWSPAPER

Of what value is a newspaper to its COM
munity?
A newspaper can't build a town; it can't
make a good one out of a bad one; it CAM
make a town grow! 1t can't bring factories;
it can't improve the schools; it can't rebuild
churches and enlarge the congregation. 1t
can't defeat bad candidates for office and it
can't elect good ones, at least not very often.
But a newspaper can encourage people. A
newspaper can be the eyes and the voice of the
community. 1t can watch the trend of affairs;
it can note the important things oher COM
munities are doing; it can keep the people post
ed, and then it can lead the way.
A newspaper published by a successful man
or woman can point the way; it can show how
things can be accomplished, it can create a
wholesome atmosphere in which people can
realize the beauties and joy of life, and then
progress is made.
Can any other institution render greater ser
vice to humanity?
Shaw said: 1.-THE profession of journalism
God help it." I say to the rural and small city
publishers who have an honest determination
to get ahead, whose hearts are filled with joy,

Mr.. Bryce P. Beard,
Salisbury, N. c.

oaHsbnry, N. g.
My dear MI. Beard:
am glad to learn that sentiment
over the state in legion circles is shap-
ing up rapidly in support of the cam
paign being waged to make you de-
partmental commander of the state. I
have every reason to believe you will
be elected to this high and important
post and l know of no one in the state
better qualified for this position.
For a number of years / have had the
privilege of observing your efforts and
activities in behalf of the legion and
ex-service men These have been I'M
firing and c~ommendable. Through
these various services, you have be-
come associated with the problems of
ex-service men and are therefore the
logical man to head the state legion
forces.
The Lance Corporal, in his column
in a recent issue of The Waterman,
suggested the slogan, Bryce Beard or
Bust" That expresses the sentiment
and spirit Of the writer of this letter.
l know it expresses the feelings of ev-
cry ex-servce man in Rowan county
and l hope and am confident it will
soon be on the lips of every legionnaire
