Santa Claus, Wise Old Eel low, Beats Out Mari
 time Strike

It takes more than "a shipping strike to cramp Santa Claus style.
 Wise old, generous man that he is. he did not have any intentions of disappointing any of the boys and girls in Juneau this year.
 No toys would mean very dull I Christmas for the youngsters, and the papas and mamas would not have any fun either.
 Perhaps he saw that a strike was going to take place. Ships would be idle and would not be able to carry his goods. He could not de- pend upon his reindeer to carry all of the toys, After all, he has many little friends in the Territory and they deserved many good things.
 So he got busy early. He was going to beat the strike A few months ago, the ships and freight CTS began to bring in Christmas things.
 Santa Gets Busy
 Most of the people m Juneau were not even thinking about Christmas, yet. It was still summer time, but a steady stream of dolls, electric trains, color books, teddy bears, me- chanical toys, construction mater ials, story books, games, scooters and other toys on wheels were com- ing in.
 Wise heads of toy departments were stocking up their, store rooms. Their counters of old goods were gradually being cleared. and toy land was taking on new life again. ready to bring pleasure to many young hearts.
 Then came the strike.
 Work is Done
 But Santa Claus had already done his work. The store managers and toy department heads .breathed sighs of relief. They have most of their Christmas goods ready. \ In many of the Juneau stores there is a stock of interesting things They are ready for Christmas, en- thusiastic, as they tell of the many new objects which the children will like. Already many toys have beer sold and the shopping season open, with toyland in it's full glory. HE Great Variety F Parents will find that there is 2 great variety of things to choos. from. There are toys that VII please every type of child. @' Said one department head: q. am happy because all of our Christ mas goods has arrived. We ar, ready for Christmas. There shoult be no reason why buying this yea will not be greater than ever. All believe there will be nor money spent in Christmas buyinl than before. Consequently. it vii mean bigger and better Christ mas for the children whose stock ings will be stuffed fuller.
 Most everyone of the merchant in Juneau reports that as far a toys are concerned. he is ready t, meet the public's demand.
 And so strike or TO strike. Sant, will triumph with the children ol Christmas again. 4 --e-

Forty or Fifty
New Jobs May
Be Created
Unemployment
Commission Will
Need Employees

Charles G. Powell, chairman of the
state unemployment compensation
commission, said Friday 40 or 50''
persons would be needed to admins
ter the North Carolina compensation
law.
Returning to Raleigh from Wash
ington, where he conferred with
federal officials, Powell said he had
been assured the law would be ap-
proved by the social security board
tomorrow.
Powell, who still is serving as Sec
rotary of state, said he was confident
the government would extend the
January Is deadline now set for the
collection of the unemployment COM
pensation taxes.
Estimating that approximately g.
900 North Carolina employers and
$4,000 employees would be affected
by the measure, the commission
chairman said he did not expect any
difficulty in collecting the g pei
cent tax on 1886 pay rolls.

Demand Halt
to Relief Work
National Chamber
Asks for Gradual
Stoppage Now

Forecasting that continued bust
ness recovery will see broad scale
absorption of jobless in private in
dustry the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States Friday demanded
that federal work relief "be brought
to a close"
Chamber directors approved a
committee report saying no sudden
or instantaneous stoppage" of work
relief was proposed, but that grad
ua1 steps should be taken" to end it.
'The committee desires to lay en-
phasis,1 the report said,1 upon its
belief that work relief as provided
by the federal government should be
brought to close"
Backing up the chambers forecast
of better day ahead for the unem-
ployed was an almost simultaneous
report from Secretary Perkins that
$4,000 workers returned to manu-
featuring and communicating in
duStries from Sept. Is to Oct. Is.

How Much Better
Is a Convict Than
"a School Child?

The recent school bus accident in Cumber-
land county in which the lives of four children
were lost has focused attention anew upon the
problem of safety in this field.
1t is matter of common observation that in
various parts of the State children are being
transported in rickety buses which are totally
unsuited for the safety of the precious cargo
they are daily carrying.
North Carolina hauls its convicts to and from
their work in steel-bodied buses.
But North Carolina continues to haul its in
nocent and unoffending school children in wood
en- buses and some of these archaic and dilapi-
dated
The individual or group or the influence
from any source which will avail in compelling
the State of North Carolina to be as careful of
the lives of it's children it is of the lives of its
convicts will deserve monument on Capitol
Square-Exchange.

Give for the Joy
Of Giving

Too often the pictures of Santa Claus and
his bottomless sack Of toys push the real mean
ing of the Christmas into the background and
we are apt to forget that night over nineteen
hundred years ago when child was born in
Bethlehem who was given to the world as a
saviour for mankind
With this picture in mind, we ought not to
let Christmas pass unless we turn from the usu-
al list of gift giving and add those to our lists
who will not have any reason for enjoying the
season unless we help them. 1t is all very well
to give gifts to those who will give to us, but
unless we give to others whom we know to be-
gin with will not be able to give to us, and give
to them out of the pure JOY of giving, we will
miss the real meaning Of the 1936th anniversary
of the birth of Christ.

of Agriculture
Shows Gains
Cotton Is Said to
Be no Longer King
of State Crops

w. A. Graham, commissioner of
agriculture, reported this week a
cash balance of $278,813.39 in the de-
partment of agriculture as of July l,
compared with $262, 629.45 on July /,
1885.
The biennial report of the depart
ment also showed cotton is no longer
liking" in North Carolina.
Prosperity in North Carolina in
former years was dependent upon
cotton" the report said. ''This is not
true any longer, the records will
show. In 1885, cotton was neither
first nor second in value except in
that the $8,372, 900 accredited to cot
tonseed, taken with the $50, 199, 900
for lint, made figure greater than
$37, 1885,, 900 which was the value Of
the corn crop, while tobacco brought
SIT. 461 ,O00."
The total value of North Cardinals
1885 crops was listed at $246, 1874, 900.

Former King Shows
Signs of Strain

Edward of Windsor, grave faced
and wan, emerged briefly from re-
tirement last week to pose for pho
tographers and then slipped back
quickly into the seclusion of the cha
teau of Baron Eugene de Rothschild.
Dark circles were beneath the
former ruler of Britain's eyes. His
forehead was deeply wrinkled with
lines not there a month ago, said
those who had seen him then.
Gentlemen, how do you want
me?" he greeted the photographers
in the chateau courtyard for his
three minute picture interview.
He replied to only one statement
from among furry of queries.
eve wish your highness every
happiness" a British photographer
said. Il wish you luck Also" the
duke replied. Then he turned and
departed quickly.
Hiring a valet was his main con-
Germ later in the day. Several can
didaes for the post appeared, and
Windsor interviewed two of them.
He questioned both as to their
linguistic ability, and spoke French
to one. The applicants were told the
duke had not yet made up his mind
and they would be advised.
Then Edward went for round OF
golf, played at nine pins and had
tea, with bread, butter and jam.
Burgomaster Heinrich Plessgoot
went again to the chateau seeking
an answer to his invitation to Wind
sor to attend the village Christmas
party. The former kings reply
however, was still in allegiance.
Windsor, after considering the
archbishop of Canterbury's attack
on his friends which weighed heav.
lily on his mind, has decided to make
no answer, reliable sources said.
