racking task. The following note
was written by the principal to the
teachers: Perhaps one of the most
serious problems that confronts the
class room teacher is deciding what
to do about promoting the border

er consider the immediate effect of
this decision on the child and his
classmates, but she must also take
into consideration the remote re-
suits that her action may have on
the life of the child and others con-
cerned. Teachers, your decision
carries with 1t a tremendous respon-
sibility, and there is no power that
can relieve you of this responsibility.

But, for the sake of the child. the
school, the State, and your own con-
science, give much time and deli
beration to this probl EN-. Then do
what you think should be done to
the best of your ability, without fear
or a desire to favor. L may add that
1 am strongly of the opinion that
promoting a child too soon is a SER
ious matter and one not to be thot
of lightly" Since it is impossible
for all children to be promoted and
at the same time their best interests
taken care of, and since we trust
every teacher will do what she thinks
best for the child, it, is hoped that
every parent will be willing to abide
by the decision of the school, which
has been made after much thought
and deliberation.

THEY PAY FOR SUCKER BAIT

Without checking up on back files of The Times
TO see whether or not we carried identically or
practically the same editorial in last weeks paper
that was carried two weeks prior, we reiterate
there's lot of people in Brevard who will buy
anything that looks like advertising except the
real thing pay high for it. like it, buy off the next
Teller that comes along, again like it. and then re-
fuse to buy space in newspaper that goes into
90 per cent of the county, and is read for its in
teresting items.
If you're one that thinks this is a lifted editorial
from last week any week previous, go on to
the next column, or turn to next page, cause we
are again saying that long suckers live there
win be bait provided for them to bite at.
Understand perfectly, please, it's none of our
business how you spend your money-if you want
to buy space in the African Gazette, The London
Daily Mirror, or if you want to have your name
emblazoned on show card to be stuck up in a
cofee-buying center in Brazil take half interest
in an electric sign at Nome, Alaska but at the
same time, we can't help wondering how it is that
some people can go on and on owing their town
newspaper a bill for advertising and printing,
month after month and then have money to get
every sucker list that along, and pay hard
cash for it . and that's some of our business

DON'T RIDE THE MINIMUM WAGE no DEATH

The Columbus Enquirer sounds timely warn
ing to folks who rushing from their small farms
to the cotton mills under the temptation of the
minimum wage. minimum wage is very at
tractive thing to people who feel that they can
hardly make than that at non-pegged in
dustry, and lack the initiative to do much for
themselves.
But there is one feature of the minimum wage
that must not be overooked If manufacturer
must pay minimum wage, he must vigorously re
fuse to employ anybody who cannot really earn
that amount. 1t necessarily means the discharge
of really some now employed, 1t is obvious how
groundless is the, notion fitting around some va
cant lofts that the minimum wage is means, by
(which good living conditions can be conferred on
anybody who chooses to inform the management
that ne is willing to accept that compensation.
To repeat the warning of The Enquirer, if you
are making living in the country, you, had better
stay where you are. Don't try to ride the minimum
wage to death by seeking to make it carry i'm
possible load.-Newberry Is. c. Observer

(Bv Senator Morris Shepherd)


No more profound disaster could befall this ma
tion than the surrender of an ideal, an ideal en-
bodied in its basic law, proclaimed to all the world
and demonstrated to be just. From Sinai with its
crown of fire came ideals that have remained in
human statutes through the centuries despite con-
tinuous and wholesale violation. Most of them are
prohibition, including thou shalt not murder
and thou shalt not steal The 18th Amendment
repeats those detectives in another form when it
says in effect, thou shalt not give men drink that
makes them murder and induces them to steal.
All that there is worthwhile in government and
in life is the attempt to accomplish what is right
and to establish what is just. We can never gain
perfection. Give up the effort to ascend and the
return to the walow and the mre will have be-
come inevitable. Run down the flag of prohibition
and run up the flag of drink and the saddest trans
formation that ever marked the struggle of man.

ed 1t will be the first time this nation ever aban-
doned a principle or deserted responsibility. 1t
will be the first time this nation ever muffled its
drums and lowered its standards in retreat from
position once taken and shown to be right
Let the movement for repeal be resisted by
every element in America that would preserve the
essence Of our freedom, the meaning of our his
tory the basis of our advancement, and the char
acter of our most sacred obligations to humanity.

It finally emerged after being
swamped in morasS Of detail and
conflicting opinion. Gen. Hugh
Johnson conceived the idea and
pushed it through, but Johnson al
lowed scores Of people to present
their own views as to the codes

Johnson was definitely fright
ened by huge production OF
goods which he believed were
mot being sold. And by the failure
of consuming power to keep up
with rising production. Example;
The shoe industry has been operat-
ing at virtually peak production,
but its payrolls stand at 90 per
cent of their high mark.)
Some members of JohnsOn's own
staff opposed the blanket code prof.
ect. Secretary of Commerce Roper,
chairman OF the special recovery
board, persisted in opposition, be-
lieying the program was operating
with sufficient sreed.
The original plan vas for a
highly simplified code. But every
one had different idea Labor
and capital pushed and pulled. Re
covery staff members added and
subtracted. Protests, demands and
suggestions poured in from over

overhauled the measure and the
cabinet overhauled it again.

LEGISLATURE DoDGED ITS DUTY

Z g, Mr. Maxwell, commissioner of revenue, is get
ing somewhere in his determined and sincere efforts
to mollify the merchants of the state.
They got pretty mad at him at. their state meet
ing in Wuston-Salem a little while ago because he
gave out rulings to collecting the sales tax which
irritated the merchants nightly.
II, is becoming more and more evident, however,
that Mr., Maxwell has been lately trying to adjust
these collection rules to make his peace with the
merchants, not in a fawRing sort of way, but in
appreciation of their difficulties and harassments.
And one hears much less, as result, of the
maleyoleqt mouthings against him which were so
persistent for awhile, 81,
Mr.. Maxwell deserves the improved relationships
which he is building up He should, never have had
the hard duty fastened on him Of fixing these rules
and regulations in the first place.
The legislature should have had the courage and
intelligence to have done, that itself instead of
making him the goat,-Charlotte Observer.

PERSONAL STANDARDS AND THE
NEW DEAL
CBy BRUCE CATION


If the new deal is to accomplish all 1t
should. It must bring with it changes IN
err ideas and our standards of individual
c3nduct just about as sweeping as the
Ranges that have already been ordered
Tor the operation of our industrial machine.
One of the changes we need to make IS
in relation to our attitude toward debt. It
might be very healthful thing for US to
regain the point of view which our grand
fathers had in regard to it.
In the old days people had, if not a
horror of it, at least a Very real distaste
for going into debt. The proudest boast Of
the solvent, successful man was that he
owed no man farthing. People borrowed
only when they had to, and they did so,
usually, with great reluctance.
No one needs to be told that we haven't
got that viewpoint any more. In the last
decade or so the hallmark of the success
full man has not been his ability to keep
out of debt but his ability to get into it. 1t
became an accepted standard that the
smart man used other peoples money in
his. operations. t..- ....~.1. ,........ .
Not only did business firms borrow to
expand their plants; rich men borrowed to
speculate in stocks, poor men borrowed to
buy automobiles, furniture and what-not !;
and while many of the results of this were
very good, the way in which it made us
willing to mortgage our futures to satisfy
present wants was, all in all, anything but
wholesome. Re.
1t led. furthermore, to stultifying of
our conception of the morals yinvolved in
the use of other peoples money. Many an
American town can tell tale precisely
like the following, .is..~. /,
A bank has folded up in large manu-.
featuring town, High officers of the bank
have been, revealed as heavy. borrowers
from it. Their. debts have not been paid
and because they are not paid the deposi
tors are holding the sack .,.s.. s.
Just what difference is there, essentially
between the bank president who borrow'
from his own bank to invest" in stocks
hoping that his profits will enable him t.
repay the loan, and the little shoe shoI
cashier who takes money from. the till t.
play the races?.. .vsa - 80. .
If a too-ready acceptance of debt 1a6
not blunted our concepts of right anG
wrong, we would not haYe had a society il
which such things would have HAPPENED
