A PUBLIC SERVANT

Carter Glass, that strong
minded Virginia Senator, has
given us such an excellent def
milton of what a statesman and
public servant should be that
we pass it on to our readers
with the comment that they
might be able to count on their
fingers all the. men they know
in public life who stop first to
determine whether they are
acting for the good of their
country or for the good of their
standing at the next election.
According to Senator Glass:
A public man who permits him
self to pause long enough to in
quire whether a given policy is
popular or unpopular, instead
of seeking to know whether il
is right or wrong, is not only
useless, but dangerous to his
country. He is a coward to be.

LANSING LARGER PARISH

The Rich Hill revival opened
most hopefully last Monday night
with a good attendance and an in
spring sermon by Rev. Armstrong
whom the pastor brought up from
Boone to assist in revival work.
Services both morning and night
will be held for the next two weeks
to which the public iscordially urg-
ed to attend.
At Fairview church the revival
spirit led the people to plan with
the pastor for revival meeting to
begin at once. Rev. Man. Bennett
with other neighboring pastors are
assisting in this revival which began
last Sunday night even though of
necessity the pastor must be away
part of the time at other meetings.
At an official meeting plans were
laid for the welfare of the church
during the year. Members and
friends are hopeful and happy in
the progress of their church.
Because of revivals on the work
the Rev. F. P. Cook will not fill his
regular appointment Sunday morn
ing at Graybeal's chapel.
Mr.. Cook will preach at Z p. m.
at Green's Chapel. Everyone is cor
daily invited to attend these ser
vices.

NANCY RUTH REEVES, Editor

This campaign is a result of a
desperate need in our United
States to stop the march of
death on our highways. The
toll of human lives thus taken is
steadily mounting each year
and has reached a new high
during the ten months just gone
by of this year. Despite all
campaigns and legislation to
curb such unnecessary slaugh-
ter, figures show that 28,76O
motor vehicle fatalities occur
red this year prior to November
/, as against 28,753 during a
similar period in 1884. Only an
increase of Z, it is true, but it
should be cause for alarm had
the figures equalled those of
1884 since it set an all-time high
record of $4,000 deaths. When
we read that we have passed
the 1884 number by Z for the
first ten months and that the
figure for the year is expected
to be reached if not passed, we
have cause for planning cam
paigns to make the country
highway-death conscious.
To add to our zeal in cooper
ating with this movement, we
need to seriously consider the
fact that during the 18 months
of the World War, American
soldiers lost their lives to the
tune of $3.50 monther's sons,
but during the 18 months of
peace in the years of 1934-1935,
81, 500 mothers sons, mothers
daughters, mothers, and fathers
lost their lives in motor vehicle
accidents in civilized land
where life is supposed to be
held dear.
The council has announced
that the plan to be used in COM
batting this national menace
will be largely educational. Re-
gardless of what method the
council adopts, and regardless
of the souccess or failure of the
venture, every citizen worthy of
the name will miss a golden OPP
portunity to be of abiding ser
vice to his country if he does
not fall in line with the plans
suggested and bend every effort
to gain highway safety.

DIRECT RELIEF ENDS


Those who have looked with
a disappearing eye on direct re-
lief and cried "How long, how
1ong?" will be pleased to learn
that as all things end so did the
government dole" on Deem
Der /.
We have no plan to offer that
could better President Roose-
velt's in giving deserving men
and women work, or for giving
deserving relief cases direct
help, but it is a fact as true as
are the characteristics of greed
in human nature that millions
of dollars cannot be poured out
in an area as large as the United
States for distribution through
unframed workers and return
with the words "value receiv-
ed". Thousands upon thousands
of dollars were wasted from the
beginning by changes being
made in methods of handling
the money. For example, sever
al thousands were spent here in
North Carolina on printing OF
case card records and other
blanks that were to have been
used but, at the last minute, an
order was given to use other
blanks and discard the ones just
printed. Many a poor family
could have lived for months on
that one mistake.
It is only human for us to try
to help those we know person
ally to be in distress and often
past by others just as worthy but
unknown. To handle untold dol
lars impartially and justly is to
do something that few of the
best of us are capable of doing,
even when we sincerely try to,
but when we pick up unframed
helpers and put them in respon-
sible positions such as was done
everywhere in the United States
during the past three years, we
have created a situation that is
bound to breed discomfort. In
our opinion, had the money
which has been spent had been
given out for direct relief
through charitable organiza-
tons that had been set up and
functioning for years and were
acquainted with local situa-
tons, complaints would have
been less loud.
But the past cannot be un-
done at the present. We have
not made over our shiftless men
and women who either do not
or cannot manage to feed and
clothe themselves, but we have
been able to relieve much suf-
fering everywhere, and while we
groan when we hear of relief
workers striking, or relief cases
being offered work and refus-
ing to work, we wonder what
the now obsolete direct relief has
done to the moral stamina of
our people who as Julian Miller
says in the Charlotte Overser,
have been led to think that the
government is something to live
ON instead of UNDER.
