SMALLER TURKEYS

With the coming of Thanksgiving Day we are
told that American families are smaller than ir
former years. that they eating less and that the
great American turkey has grown too large TIE
department of agriculture is suggesting the raising
and marketing of smaller turkeys. They say thai
few families equipped with cooking ovens and
pans to prepare turkeys weighing 25 pounds and
more and they advise the development of strains
of turkeys that mature early and which weigh 10
or IL pounds at maturity -
Several years ago poultrymen attempted to sell
turkeys that had been cut into halves and quarters
in order to meet depression demands for smaller
portions The experiment was a failure and now
the growing of smaller turkeys will be tried. Agri-
cultural experts are working to produce an accept
able small breed. Turkey chickens are becoming
popular in some markets and the demand for them
may increase giving an aI-year market instead OF
those of Thanksgiving and Christmas ....
The situation calls for reversal of the present
plans of turkey farming For many years it ha,
been the aim of growers to produce larger breeds
and mammoth strains have resulted. The American
family and appetite have not kept pace with the
development of larger breeds and it looks as /
the efforts to grow the giant turkeys must be aban
doned to a large extent while more attention vii
be paid to the improvement of smaller types-The

THOUGHT TO BE DISMISSED

Mrs. Chlotide R. Martins story in The News and
Courier about Joab MCGOWAN, Citadel alumnus, who
by accident drifted into the occupation of cabinet
maker was interesting. Mr.. MCGOWAN has skill, IS
earning money, but would not object to having "a
good government job which would bring him in a
certain and regular income" Mrs. Martin ''tred
to jolt him out of that idea," but something is to
be said for Mr.. McGowan's side of the matter He
knows that as long as he works as an independent
man he will have to work for the people who have
the government jobs and that the more he make S
the more he will have to work, for the more he
will be taxed; both by the republic and the state
Therefore, why not share the government wealth ?
The only fly in the ointment is that some day
government will beiunable to provide certain and
regular incomes and everybody will have to go 30
work again. That is an awful thought Let us not
think it.-Charleston News and Courier

overcome, were those which |
picked up from grown people.
Certain grown people were very
harmful to me, and the more so
because l thought they were all
right.
Pains should be taken to let
children know that men and wo-
men are not all right who are not
all right-that their behavior is
to be avoided like the humps.
A great curse to childhood are
unholy men and women-particu-
larly men who walk around
among us, commanding respect
and even admiration. They are
treated with Difference by papas
and mamas, entertained in homes
where there are children, and the
children are introduced to them
as if they were great, fine person
ages. Some of our outstanding
leaders-particularly some Of our
political leaders-are not fit for
anybody to associate with-espe-
cially little children. I know bust
ness men and professional men
who stand high in social and
church life, whose influence on
any young persons career is as
the blight to the chestnut.
Just because a man is Judge
So and So, or Mayor This and
That, OF Governor Such and Such,
or Banker Thingumbob, OF Capt.
talst What You May Call 1t, is
nc reason for children to admire
him if he is not admirable.
The more prominane a man is,
the more pains should be taken
to warn the children that he is
not respectable and is not to be
emulated if he is not worthy.
And all of this brings me to
another point: We should take
pains not to let disreputable men
appear respectable, and not let
them horn themselves into high
places. $500,

DEATH RECORD WORST YET

Thu records of the State Revenue department
showing 1Sl persons killed in traffic accidents III
North Carolina in October are considerably more
distressing even than the figures announced Garner
by the Bureau of Vital Statistics which listed liz
fatalities for the month.
October, 1885 set a new high record for 1atail-
ties and for personal injuries, 754 persons having
been injured in the record-smashing month
Another record was broken in the total number
of deaths from traffic accidents during the first 10
months Of the year. SSS having been killed.
The previous high mark in fatalities for month
was set in December 1884, when 1T were killed.
but the record of lie deaths in September, 1885,
lacked but one of equalling it.
The dsconcerting fact is that the appalling num-
Der of traffic accidents injuries and deaths is con-
tinuing to grow rapidly despite the fact that the
number of state highway patromen virtually was
double this fall.
Undoubtedly it is due in part to the greater mud
Der of cars on the roads, more than half million
having been licensed this year for the first time,
and that is 100000 and upwards in excess of the
number for some recent years
Another reason for the increased slaughter on
the highways may be the increased speed capacity
of newer cars, as pointed out by officials of the
revenue department go
Undoubtedly however, portion of the increase
is due to increasing recklessness and indifference
to the rules of safety the part of a growing
number of motorists who feel that they taking,
small chance with the officers and the courts, and
running little risk of punishment if they violate the
traffic laws. ~

THANKSGIVING DAY

Our forefathers many years ago
Did set this day apart
To gather around the throne OF
grace
With humble, contrite heart,
To thank the blessed Lord above
For His love and tender care,
His mercies which had followed
them
Each day that made the year.
Have you asked God for much
in the year that is gone?
Have you sought His guidance
each hour?
Then won't you just praise Him
This Thanksgiving Day
For His wonderful grace and His
power?

TO STOP HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS

The National Safety Council announces nation

automobile accidents in the United States 1t is
hoped that the drive may $4,000 lives by 1871
The increasing number of highway fatalities and
the wide publicity given them seem to be arousng
the American people to the necessity of preventing
this useless slaughter and waste. The Ohio legisa
ture has enacted legislation providing for the strict
licensing of all drivers and doubt other states in
which there such laws will follow the ex-
ample. -. .-.
The National Safety Council will attack this stu

from legislative and educational angles. Efforts will

For some reason which is not
known, children are likely to copy
the undesirable qualities they OBJ
serve, rather than the desirable
ones. Let little boy hear one Of
his forebears say, plague take

Damn the horse" and the little
boy will probably be heard re-
peating the latter expression.
The reason that the human
family does not improve more
rapidly is because of those whose
examples the children follow.
If every adult person would
constantly hold in mind this
thought, "What effect will my &C
tions have on the children who
know about me-" and would so
govern his behavior that the eff

LET US KEEP BRAKES ON
STOCK MARKET IN
DIV BRUCE CATTON)

Now that the old car is beginning to pie K
up speed once more, it might be a sound
idea for the driver to tumble around biz
and see if ne can't find where the brake IS.
Bowling along the highway at a gooo
clip is lots of fun until you come to the
downhill drag Then you have your choice
of putting on the brake or smacking into a
telephone pole, and it's really good deal
better to take the former alternative. So.
All this is just by way of remarhng that
the stock market is boiling right merriiy
these days, and that all the markings OF an
old-time boom seem to be simmering along.
Andiwhile everybody has lots OF good clean
fun on a rising market, we learned back in
1929 that no market goes on rising forever,
and that a spectacular climb is followed
by an equally spectacular drop. ...r,,.,r..
We do seem to have all the elements of a
good-bull market in this country today.
The banks are swollen with funds which
nobody seems to want to employ in the Or
binary way of trade-4or at least hardly
anybody is employing them. .... aa,...
Given a steadily rising market, those
fundSdyill inevitably seep into Wall Street
for there is something about money
which makes its possessor prefer to collect
2 per cent a day on it in Wall Street, "a.
Their than 2 per cent a year in ordinary
businS&
Now everybody wants to see stock prices
improve. Whether we yearn for the more
abunSsat life or'the two chickens in every
pot, We-,are apt to see cur objective little
more yearly if the right kind of music is
coming off the stock tickers.
But the stock market is a funny insti-
tuition. 1t exists to provide free flow of
finance for industry, but it has habit Of
running away with itself every so often
and turning into gambling hall. When ii
does, it piles up great deal of trouble for
everyone. |'''
The Roosevelt administration is in the
drivers seat, and there are plenty of good
brakes handy. We needn't have a runaway
unless the driver gets to looking out of the
window and musing about the beauties Of
the countryside.
