makes a pointed observation

My parents have learned that when put my
foot down mean it. So, believe me, when they
need gas or oil {. . or even tires, batteries and
accessories you don't catch them driving
in anywhere except at familiar ESQ sign!
And that takes big load off my mind when
I'm not along to look after things.
I'm sure that they're in good hands when
they stop at an ESQ sign and that they'll get
all those little courtesies and services that
assure "Happy Motoring
confess, if it weren't for these ESQ dealers
and stations I'd worry myself sick thinking
what might happen when my parents go out
driving by themselves. So guess I've lot to
be thankful for, after all.
Parents are, indeed, problem, aren't they3

LIQUOR CONTROL IN STATE IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS STORY

Elizabeth City, July in. Elton
Aydlett, clerk of the Pasquotank
county Superior court, vouches for
the truth of this story, which he told
at the Kiwanis luncheon Tuesday
nigt.
On the Sunday preceding Pasquo-
tanks liquor store referendum last
Saturday, an Elizabeth City pastor
unnamed by Mr.. Aydlett, made the
statement that he wished all the IL
quor ever brought into the city, all
that is here now and all that will ever
be brought in could be dumped into
the Pasquotank river, which flows
through Elizabeth City.
Then the preacher announced the
name of the closing hymn. It was
"Shall We Gather at the River"

ROCKINGHAM STANDS ONE
TO EIGHTEEN

Rockingham county, near the wet
state line of Virginia, is the only
county to vote dry among the 18 al
lowed by the General Assembly to
hold elections on the question Of leg
alizing the sale of liquor through
county stores. Rockingham is the
only county west of Raleigh that was
included in the number of counties
voting. All the others were eastern
counties.
Daily papers state that the voting
in all instances was especially light,
the average being about sixty per
cent of the vote for the Governor in
the last election.
Are the counties that voted wet
really expressing the sentiment of
the people, and is Rockingham, with
in a stones throw Of Virginia liquor
really dry, or did the people not take
enough interest in the elections to
come out and vote and thereby give
a true expression of their sentiments ?

HAUPTMANN TRIAL SAID TO
HAVE BEEN A PUBLIC SHOW

Criticism of the conduct of the
Bruno Hauptmann trial is contained
in report which was presented
Monday to the American Bar associa-
ton by it's committee on cooperation
between the press and the bar.
The committee said that "to treat
simple trial as a public show, as
was done in the sensational trial of
Bruno Hauptmann, is to cheaper life
itself by causing people generally to
undervalue the life of the criminal,
and to increase the morbid desires of
sensation seekers"
LEADERS of the bar and the news
vending agencies who are sincerely
interested in the preservation of
American institutions should join
forces and consider ways and means
of preventing a repetition of such in
cidents as occurred in the Bruno
Hauptmann trial." the resolution
stated.
They should take steps to minimize
the possibility that in the future, 9TH
er lawyers and publicity seekers may
feel that a precedent has been estab-
lished which can be followed with
impunity," the resolution added.

In Nepal. the country extending for
500 miles along the southern slope of
the Himalayas in northern India, the
sanctity attached to kingship is still 80

FORESIGHT INDICATED

When President Roosevelt inaugu-
rated National Youth Administra-
ton as an adjunct to the Works
Progress Administration he indicated
by his action that he has the nations
welafer at heart not only for the
present but 30 and 40 years hence.
The newly organized NYA will be
supported by $5O,0DO,O0 set aside
from the $4,000, 100000 work relief
appropriation and will be used to
provide work and vocation training
to approximately 100000 unemployed
young men and women, between the
ages of 16 and rs.
No thinking individual, possessing
background of experience and aver
age foresight and vision, can do other
than be in full accord with so far
reaching an undertaking.
The NYA project at work will go
far to eliminate the idleness enforced
upon the coming generation. It will
open vistas of opportunities hereto
fore closed to those young people who
are possessed of normal ambition but
who have had no place to go with it.
Habits once formed in late adele
scence and early adulthood are, diff
cult to break. therefore. the early
habits should be good in the begin
ming.
Industry is trait as often acquir-
ed as it is hereditary. 1t is important
that idleness be checked before it be.
comes invulnerable to correction.
The President struck the keynote
of the proposition when he declared:
81 have determined that we shall
do something for the Nations unem-
ployed youth because we can i'll.
afford to lose the skill and energy OF
these young men and women. They
must have their chance in school
their turn as apprentices, and their
opportunity for jobs /. chance to
work and earn for themselves"
Certainly the National Youth AID
ministration will go far to build up
morale in the youth Of the land

DOUGHTON OF THE
MOUNTAINS

Congressman Doughton has reach
ed that place in the government of
the nation today which entities him
to so much publicity that it is i'm
possible for one small newspaper to
pass any but the high spots on to its
readers.
It was with considerable interest
that the subscribers in Golfers in
Mr.. Doughton's district read the ar
ticle concerning him in the issue
week before last. The article by
George Creel is highly complimentary
to Mr.. Doughton and gives prominent
space to his well-known virtues of
honest, sobriety, common sense, and
loyalty.
MIR. Doughton is pictured as SYM
bolical product of the mountains, and
it should be the pride of every noun
taineer in his district that he has so
adhered to the fundamental princi-
Piles of the country from which he
came.
A West Asheville columnist, COM
menting on the article and its refer
ence to Mr.. Doughton's character as
being engendered by the mountains,
says:
"There is much trutH in the idea.
The beauty Of the mountain scenery,
the hard work that mountain farm
er has to do, and the fine sturdy stock
that fathered us here in the Blue
Ridge, has the power of developing
fineness of character and the sturdy,
simple, wholesome virtues of cour-
age, truth, honesty and loyalty. To
my mind the virtues of the Scotch
father in Burns "Cotter's Saturday
Night" are the typical virtues of the
North Carolina mountaineer Of the
finest type. -. ..,>'
at seems a pity that the glamor-
Gus legend Of the plantation life Of
the Old South should have in any
measure obscured the farmers and
craftsmen of the hill country. Not
much has been written about the
mountain farmers of the class to
which Mr.. Doughton belongs, but the
historians of the nation discover Oft
en- that many of the nations greatest
men come from the valleys and hill
tops of the Appalachians."

N. C. DEED FOR PARKWAY
RIGHT NORWAY TO SOON
BE READY FOR ICKES
Deed Will Clear Way for Actual
Awarding of Contract Delayed
by Legal Technically

Charles Ross, attorney for the
North Carolina state highway de-
partment, in Washington Tuesday,
predicted that within two weeks a
deed will be laid on the desk of
Secretary Ickes for the right-of-way
on which to construct the 12-mile
section Of the Southern Appalachian
parkway between Low Gap, Va, and
the Roaring Gap section in North
Carolina.
After the deeds are in Secretary
Ickes's office, it is expected that he
will pass on the award of contract
for obstruction of the 12-mile stretch
Of the parkway between Law Gap
and Roaring Gap.
The actual award would have been
made sooner but for a legal snarl,
resulting because the recent ruling of
the attorney general apparently does
not satisfy some of the interior de-
partment's legal experts. The ruling
affected the authority of the interior
secretary to award contracts until the
right of way is. decided over to the
federal government.
Under his original order setting up
procedure for construction of the
parkway, Ickes said contracts would
be awarded when the states definitely
assured the national park service that
the deeds to the land would be forth
coming.
North Carolina has guaranteed to
provide the titles for the 12-mile
stretch, and under the secretary's
original order or by a liberal inter-
probation of the attorney generals
ruling, the contract should be award
ed.
The bids were opened June IL by
the bureau of publ roads, and made
recommendations to the park service.
The contract will involve an expendi-
ture of around $425,OOO, and Ickes'
approval is counted upon within sew
eral days.
AS soon as Ickes awards the first
contract, number of others are ex-
pected to be awarded in rapid fire
order. Plans for go miles of parkway,
in six sections in Virginia, and TO-
mile section continuing the 12-mile
stretch from Roaring Gap to Ara
bellas Gay is now near the contract
stage.

TIME AND POSTAGE WASTED

On June Is, number of notes
went out from the State Department
in Washington. Addressed to the prin
cipal goreign powers they politely in
formed them that their annual in
stallments on the war-debt were due
and payable.
AS everyone knew, all the notes,
with single exception, represented a
waste of postage and effort. Every
major power owing this country mon
ey had previously informed us, direct
ly or indirectly, that the installments
would not be paid
Exception, as in the past, was Fin
Ian, which RENTED it's $165, 453. It is
doubtful if anything in history has
done so much to promote respect for
that little nation in the United States
as is promptness in meeting its debt.
