SCHOOL STANDARDS VERSUS
ATHLETICS

The Caldwell Record editOrializes &7
length on the fact that students OF Lenolr
High School who have been failing in their
school work are not permitted to play foot
bail or the Lenoir team. The. comment is
timely and proper; and it is interesting to
note that The Record reports that the
course of the school authorities is ap-
proved by the patrons and pupils and by
the community as whole.
The Times-News calls attention to the
matter to say that a similar condition eX-
lists in the Hendersonville schools. A num-
Der of football players here who have
failed in their school wOrk'are not allowed
to play on the local team. AS some of them.
attleaSt, are among the teams best play
ers, this condition has been a decided set
back to the success of the team this sea-
son; but The Fimes-News believes that
here, as in Lenoir, community sentiment
backs the school authorities in their course
in this matter.
The Caldwell Record closes its editorial
comment with this paragraph:
'iThe last reason why this apparently common
PLACE affair is deemed worthy of comment, is be-
cause the citizens of the town approve. In most
PLACES the alumni would have raised sand. There
arel plenty of high schools where if seven star
athletes are put off team in one bunch, the high
school faculty would be condemned wholesale. But,
we know in Lemon why we are operating a high
school. 1t is not to beat Morganton or any other
school in football; it is rot for the sake of any
inter-Scholastic contest 1t is not even for the
teaching of the three rs it is to develop charac-
ter,l culture and citizenship. The state super
intRdent calls them the three c's." The lesson
taught in this adherence to the rule is the first re-
quiiement of citizenship. That is the necessity to
livei up to the standards of the group to which
you belong. Facing an issue and accepting its I'M
plcAtions, is a fine lesson in character building
Tw9 of the all-important three cs are learned
there and the last one, culture is safe in the hands
of teachers who put subject matter and content
aboYe football. It's pity the colleges are not
equally conscientious, and they would be if it were
not for the bowling alumni who demand victory at
any cost."
The Times-NewS endorses the comment
of the Lenoir newspaper and the position
of the HendersOnville school authorities
The public schools are not maintained pr;-
matily for the purpose of playing football
or allowing students to engage in any other
form of athletics. The Times-News is q
SUPPORTER of football and athletics in the
schools, but believes that education along
fundamental lines is the business of great
estiimpOrtance in the schools. High edit
cadonal standards should be maintained.
Boys who desire to play football should
earn the right to play by making satisfac-
tory records in all their school work

HOW MUCH ARE YOUR TAXES?

If you have an annual income of $4,000 or less,
how much of it goes for taxes?
There's good chance that you will say "none, y
nasmuch as your income is below the level reached
by the income tax, and you may have little or no
on which taxes must be paid.
But, according to an article by Royal F. Munger
in the Chicago Daily News, your taxes come -
some $3.50 year. One hundred and twenty dol
lars of this represents taxes included in your rent
the landlord pays them and passes the cost on
to you Ninety-six dollars is included in the price
of your family's food-the farmer, the professor,
the distributor and retailer pay them, and they
become part of the cost of everything in the gro
Gerry store. Twenty-four dollars is included in the
clothing, furniture and similar items you and your
dependents purchase-here again, manufacturers,
mddlemen and retailers are all heavily taxed and
must pass their taxes to the public
This totals S24O. Finally says Mr.. Munger,
other indirect tax burdens that affect the cost of
living estimated to take $24O more out of your
famy's $1,000 annual income. On percentage
basis, a result, you pay almost twenty per cent
of all you to government.
Too many people have accepted the fanciful
theory that the rich pay all the taxes while the
rest of US get the benefits for nothing.
No one escapes taxes-no one ever will. And
the average man, with q small or medium-sized in
come, would gain most from retrenchment in tax
levies, regardless of the guse under which they
may be labeled.-Forest City Courier

WTASHINGTON-A woman will
w be the next chairman of the
National Labor Relations Board
II she wants the job.
The post lras been offered infor-
mally to Miss Josephine Roche of
Denver, famous for the liberal
labor policy she established in the
coal mines of the Rocky Mountain
Fuel Company, of which she is
president.
Among those in the adminiStra-
ton who have urged Miss Roche's
appointment is Secretary Of Labor
Frances Perkins. The two women
have been friends for many years.
If Miss Roche accepts the invi.
tation to succeed Lloyd Garrison,
who has gone back to the Univer.
sity Of Wisconsin after brilliant
performance as Chairman of NLRB,
it will be due to the persuasions of
Madam Secretary.
Miss Roche ran for the Demo.
cratic nomination for governor Of
Colorado this year and lost by a
few thousand votes to Governor
Johnson. She made the strongest
showing of any woman who ever
contested for such an Office without
benefit Of dead or living husband

SAYS WING FOO
By WICKES WAMBOLDT.

iSeen powers may come to our as
sistance; forces, which are not in
sight at the time we sally forth,
may appeal and rally around us.
But whether they do or not,
whether we succeed or whether
we fail, whether we survive or
whether perish, has nothing to
do with the part which we should
play when great moral issue is
at stake.
Some of the greatest reforms
that the world has known have
been brought about because
someone was willing to sacrifice
himself. Some Of the greatest
spiritual forward movements for
the betterment of mankind have
been set in motion never to stop
by. some person willing to be
sacrificed for the sake Of cause.
We should never proceed
against anything or anybody in
a spirit Of spite; if we DO, our
action is likely to be thown back
on us. Whenever we launch an
offensive against any person or
any condition, the purpose should
be not to get even with anybody,
not to bring officially on any
body, but to correct wrong cen
ditiOn or to prevent wrong CON
dltion.
There is no sense in running
counter to influences that may
embarrass or bother us or bring
about inharmony. when We might
just as we'll from every conceiv-
able standpoint follow a uitfer-
ent procedure.

OLDEST EGG In
WORLD FOUND

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Dec. Up
"A 225 lO0O.O00-year-old egg. be-
lIeved to be the worlds oldest foS-
ST egg. has been found by an ex-
petition Of the Harvard University
museum OF comparative zoology In
the clay and sandstone "red beds
OF north central Texas.
The university announced the
find Saturday night and said the
fossil esq was more than double
the age OF previously known speci-
mems. including the famed dinosaur
eggs found In the Cobb desert in
Asia. The museum experts asserted
It was unlikely that any "signific-
antly older eggs OF terrestrial ami
mails will ever be found
The egg, three incnes long and
rusty In coloring, apparently was
laid by q large lizard-like animal
known as Ophiacodon, the univer-
sity's announcement said. This rep
tile was IN creature with a dis
proportionately large head and
short limbs, and measuring about
six feet from snout TO tip OF tail
A partial skeleton Of an ophiacodon
was found near the spot in which
the egg was discovered.
The Texas fossil egg. the museum
experts explained, represents the
most primitive type OF egg TO be
laid on dry land. Prior 70 the Per-
milan period 225 million years ago,
eggs were deposited only In water,
In that age there existed a great
inland sea. covering much OF what
now are the southwestern states or
Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. on
the shores Of this sea lived the
reptiles whose fossil remains are
found In great numbers In that
area today.
The expedition. led by Llewellyr
Price and Theodore white OF the
museum staff. also discovered the
skull OF an Eryops. a Salamander-
Like amphibian about eight feet
long. The specimen was described
as the best such skull ever brought
out OF the permian beds OF Texas.
