Press Release

1t Is known to everyone who uses the
public highways that the motor vehicle
law is being very generally violated. 1t
is known also that violators are not Gun
fined to any enc clsss of drivers Rigid
enforcement has been lacking, hut such
lack has not been due entirely TO Iaxity
on the part Of the authorities, nor does
such laxity excuse non-Gbservance.
Laws are not made to restrict the in

but to sec re the public welfare and pro

titled to whatever such projections its
legislators provide 1t is the duty of
all administrative officers to see that that
protection is afforded. Failure to afford
it so far as possible under the condi
tons imposed, is failure of duty.

Hauptmann Pays Debt

QRUNO RICHARD HAUPTMANN has paid
with his life for the murder of two-year-old
Charles Augustus Lindbergh The final bit of
evidence that sealed Hauptmann's fate was the
fact that he could not explain away the fact
that he had over $4,000 in ransom money in his
house and was caught with some in his pocket
after he had been identified as the man who
had been passing some of the ransom bills.
Next in Importance, came the evidence of the
handwriting experts who declared that Haupt-
mann wrote the notes to the Lindberghs de-
handing $4,000 for the return of their child.
Other evidence might come under the head Of
circumstantial, but there was nothing except
cold facts in the possession of the ransom money
even though it could be possible that the
1sadore Fisch story is true.
The state of New Jersey has spent more than
a million dollars hearing the case and following
all clues that were presented, yet every court
was convinced of the guilt of Hauptmann. In
the face of that, many forget the small grave
that holds the cremated remains of the battered
and foully murdered Lindbergh baby, and con-
tend that Hauptmann was unjustly electrocuted.
1t is, perhaps, compliment to our sensibili-
ties that we can find it in our hearts to be sorry
for the vilest of criminals when we see them
reaping the rewards of their crimes even though
we know the punishment is just. The plight of
Hauptmann has been advertised to the four ends
of the earth and many have felt sincerely sorry
for him in spite of the knowledge of his crime.
Hauptmann has paid all that is in his power to
pay, and it is time that the American public
turn their thoughts to other things

The Spirit of Easter

AS WE AGAIN approach the Easter Season,
L we pause to give thought to the occasion
which causes this celebration each year in the
Christian world and we find the answer in the
one word: Immortality Easter is the date on
which Christians celebrate the resurrection of
the human race is kept ever fresh in our hearts
and minds
Daniel A. Polling, editor of the Christian
Herald, has so ably given his reasons for be-
ieving in the immortality of the soul that we
are passing his recent Easter editorial on to our
reader, believing that it will hold much interest
for them:
II can not prove love as man proves prob
lem in mathematics. can not put it's equation
on blackboard I never yet have found it in
the bottom of a crucble, nor shaken it gently
in test tube But it is real, more real to me
than houses and Streets more real than words
and laughter. And it is powerful, more power
full than death, for love beyond the grave.
believe in love because have experienced it;
because it has held me in it's arms and because,
when its arms have fallen ifeless it has yet
remained. Love is the essence of Immortality.
81 believe in immortality because neither can
my reason avoid it's conclusion nor my heart
escape it's emotion. I have never seen it with my
heart escape it's emotion. I have never seen it
with my physical eyes and yet I have seen it,
have seen it as truly as have seen love.

DEAN SCHAUB TELLS OF
FARM AGENT PLANS
CONTINUED from Page One)

Mr.. j. F. Hartzog,
Chairman, Board of County Com,
Jefferson, N. c.
Dear Mr.. Hartzog:
I have had conference with Mr..
Bowie regarding the employment of
county agent for Ashe county.
In order that there may be no mis-
understanding as to what the citi-
zens of Ashe county might expect in
the way of benefits in case they
should make an appropriation for
county agent, I wish to frankly ex-
plain the situation.
I understand that information is
being passed around to the effect
that in case you had county agent
all, or a large part, of the farmers
in the county would be able to Sc
cure fertilizer free of charge except
for the payment of the freight. This
is far from accurate information.
Some farmers would be able to Sc
cure phosphate for the purpose of
putting on demonstrations but with
only one county agent in the county,
the number of farmers who would
be in position to secure fertilizer
at this time would be comparatively
small. In counties in the Tennessee
Valley Area the Tennessee Valley
Authority has employed assistant
county agents who do practically
nothing else except supervise ferti
lizer demonstrations. In such coun-
ties considerable number Of farm
ers do get fertilizer but at the very
best the number would be compar-
atively small considering the total
number of farms in the county. This
fertilizer is not being furnished in
order to save the farmers expense
Those receiving it have to use it in
definite way, keeping accurate rec
ords, and give report as to the re-
suits secured. In order to be effec-
tive the demonstrations must be
rather closely supervised and one
man devoting his whole time to it
could not handle more than one
hundred farms satisfactorily.
I am rather doubtful as to wheth-
er the Tennessee Valley Authority
would be willing to assign man to
Ashe county. It is their policy not
to furnish men except in counties
within their watershed. I would, be
glad to take it up with the Tennes-
see Valley Authority but unless they
change their policy I do not have
very much hopes of getting that ad
ditional assistance.
With county agent, a few of
your farmers. would be able to Sc
cure fertilizer. I doubt, however,
with the many activities an agent
would have, as to whether he could
supervise more than ten or twelve
at the outside during the first year.
In other words, do not want the
farmers to think that just because
they put on county agent that
large number of them are going to
get free fertilizer or something of
that kind.
AS regards the new soil conserva-
ton program great many more Of
the Ashe county farmers will be
able to qualify and would get some
return. However, the type of agri-
culture in the county is such that
the payments as a general thing
would be rather small and they

w. p. A. OFFICIAL SAYS
LITTLE CROOKEDNESS IN
RELIEF WORK OF NATION

A new campaign against work re-
lief "chiselers" has been started by
Dallas bort, head of the WPA divi-
sion of investigation.
Calling his district supervisors to-
gether for a three-day conference,
bort said that so far his "W-men"
have held graft under the 100000
900 work relief program to an Gin
fn:.csir,al'' amount, but he wanted
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1936-04-09

prove private property, and at
tempts to collect money from job
applicants have outnumbered other
efforts to divert work relief funds
from their proper use.
With field staff of 1875, bort said
he was confident that 'there is damn
little crookedness we don't hear
about"
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1936-04-09

would have to perform very 0eh-
mite action, such as fertilizing pas
lures, or lining, or some kind of a
practice which would result in soil
improvement and soil erosion pre-
vention Some of the details as re-
CARDS payments under mountain
conditions have not yet been finally
approved so I cannot give you as
much detailed information as I
would like.
Another question raised by Mr..
Bowie is the one of qualifications of
the agent. The Federal regulation
and also our own regulation is that
the county agent should have the
equivalent of an agricultural COL
lege training. Our experience has
demonstrated the soundness of this
policy. We have violated it from
time to time but as general policy
I am sure that it is sound and should
be adhered to in Ashe county.
Certainly, trust that you will not
make an appropriation limited to
the employment of a: given person.
If you could see your way clear to
make an appropriation, we shall be
glad to find a man satisfactory to
you as well as to us. We have no
one in mind at present and would
have no desire whatever to put
man in the county who was not en-
tirely satisfactory to your Board.
I have tried to give you frankly
our viewpoint and I am sure that
you much prefer that we give facts
rather than promises which might
result in disappointment to the peo-
pie. Frankly, as I told Mr.. Bowie, if
it is simply matter Of making ap-
preparation with the expectation
that farmers would get direct bene-
fit in the way of free fertilizer and
payment on a soil conservation pro-
gram as an Offset to the county ap-
preparation, I could not recommend
that your Board join in the employ
ment of an agent. The greatest re-
turn that you would get would come
from the general improvement over
a period of years in your farming
practices rather than immediate re-
turns in the way of some special
favor such as free fertilizer.
1t happens that Ashe county is the
only agricultural county in the State
without an agent. am very anxious
to see an agent in the county and at
present we are in a position to put
in our part of the fund. Compared
with other counties having agents,
we feel that it would be necessary
for Ashe county to put up approx
mately 100000 and of course furn-
ish an Office with such general
equipment in the way of desks as
may be necessary. Counting salary,
travel, and other expenses we would
probably put in twice as much as
we are asking from the county.
I shall be delighted to have your
Board consider the matter and ad-
wise us at your convenience as to
your action.
Yours truly,
(Signed) I. o. SCHAUB,
Director.
