HICKORY RECORD HAS NEW
RIJu DING

North Carolina newspaper men are IN
terested in the fact that The Hickory Rec-
ord is now located in a new building, which
is one of the best buildings and contains
one of the most complete mechanical plants
owned by any small daily newspaper IN
the State.
L.C. Clifford, general manager and prln-
cipal owner of The Record, in the past few
wears has done a splendid job OF building
I'D successful newspaper in Hickory. IL
is a notable achievement. The Record is
credit to Hickory - or would be to any
other city of that class-and the people
of Hickory and the surrounding country
rate the paper at its true worth.
The Record should be rated as factor
No. l in the continued growth and prog
ress of the Catawba county metropolis. 1t
is doing wonderful piece of work in sup
plying the news and in leading the people
of its city and territory to Impressive
achievements and development.
The other side of the picture, as shown
by the statement of The Record, is that 1t
has the widespread support and co-opera-
ton of the people of Hickory and that
city's territory. By working together with
the common purpose. of building news
paper, bigger and better city, and i'm
proving the entire section, The Record and
the people of its city and territory are all
profiting by the labors of an experienced
and successful newspaper mani. C. Gift
ford-and his co-workers.

THE BEST is YET TO COME

Youth of America, buck up! Stop listening to
defeatist voices that would mesmerize you by dead
" repetition that your country has no reward for
the industrious and no opportunities for ability.
1t is not true that you should stand bewildered
outside the gates of school and college all dressed
I'D in education and without any place to go. OPP
.portunity achievement service, successful await
YOU Listen to few facts about the situation.
You're entitled to something straight after being
deuged with so much that isn't so.
b You may ask first about material welfare. Young
Americans now coming of age have an excellent
chance of obtaining adequate income, reports
DR.. Louis l. Dublin, famous statistician, and vice.
president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.
He bases this and other heartening assurances upon
actuarial figures all set forth in his article on
Youths prospects in the August issue of the Amer-
can Magazine. He goes on:
His chances of getting job excellent, so
long as he continues to train himself in some par
ticular field
Furthermore, DR.. Dublin declares that today's
average youth will "what is considered an IN
come adequate to a fairly good standard of life
$4,000" And twenty-three in 1000, he pointed out,
will land inside the $4,000 bracket.
But opportunity is much more than matter OF
income If your Latin is still working, stick under
the school or college colors in your room, the de-
vice, Scopus meus est excelsior" letting the high
mark you shoot at always embrace more than the
merely material. Opportunities for useful and sat
isfying work are as great as the new needs an
awakening world constantly discovers.
Instead of lying down in the valley of discour-
because figures have been poked under
YOUR nose that perhaps one in five employable per-
sons are still obless lift up your eyes to the nils
which thunder to you the rousing fact that SUCH
condition has behind it no immutable law. II IL
results from wrong thinking then right thinking
can change it. Above ALL strive to gain the under
standing that your creator needs you and In re-
atty, has already provided a place for every one
of you That TRUTH in different words, was, you
set down by the writers of the DecIara-
ton of independence. 1t is today the PRACTICAL
spiritual fact about you.
Young men and women everywhere there IS
abundant room for you. In sober fact there was
never time when the world waited more eagerly
desperately, for the splendid service you can give

PINE BARK AND COTTON ROOTS

that in most of the South the Almighty had maze

And Bishop Kilgo may have been right Most peo-

soils have been largely robbed both of humus and
fertility and (2) that the pine tree has an extra
ordinarily thick bark and can resist and survive
fires that kill outright the vast majority OF thln-
barked trees such as beech and maple.
Yet as matter of fact, probably two of the
Souths greatest misfortunes are that cotton has
deep taproot and that pines have unusually tmck
bark For if cotton shalow-rooted, heaVy-
drinking crop like corn, we would long ago have
been compelled to fill our soils with humus to holo
moisture enough for it to stop our topsoils from
washing off into the ocean. And if pine bark were
not so thick that even badly iredamaged pines Will

WASHINGTON. - The mystery
w of what has happened to Louis
R. CLAWS, the super-sleuth who
has been combating graft and
scandal for PWA and the Interior
Department these last three years,
seems almost as deep as any that
CLAWS himself has unraveled in
mis- spectacular career.
But it is clear enough that his
days as chief investigator for Sec
rotary Administrator Harold L..
Ickes began to be numbered
months ago, when he first crossed
the path of Ebert K. Burlew,
grand vizier to Ickes.
The duel between CLAWS and
Burlew became intense and the
result is that CLAWS is going to
work for the Senate campaign ex-
penditures investigating commit
tee and will also do odd, jobs of
investigating for the president on
the side.
All hands are at great pains to
make clear that CLAWS didn't re-
sign, that he wasn't asked to re-
sign, and that he wasn't fred.
MEANWHILE, there's an atmos-
phere, of tense embarrassment
in the Ickes domain and one is re-
minded that % years ago, in the
Ballinger scandal, Claws as, a
young man who dared to tell the
truth was a storm center at the
Interior Department. The circum-
stances, of course, are different.
lckes has become persuaded
that he has suffered from the
shopping" and s'man-hunting''
tactics of the big CLAWS force of
investigators. Many PWA officials
and employees were glad to side
with Burlew, charging various
petty or inept invasions of their
offices or projects and insinuations
as to their honesty. -

"Hiden Ramsay, general manager of the Asne-

system of social security inevitable but, III

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

ON the other hand, CLAWS parti-
- sans point out that his divi-
sion made a strong record against
political crooks, oil company lob
byists, shady PWA employees, code
chiselers, kickback operators. and
would-be grafters.
The recent period of embarrass-
ment has been partly due to the
fact that CLAWS knows so much
about the administration and
partly due to the fact that the
White House crowd likes his work.
He and his staff have infiltrated
through large part of the adj
miniStration, encountering many
interesting facts here and there.
1t has been suggested that he
might cause the administration an
enormous amount of embarrass-
ment in the campaign were he so
minded, and that thought has not
been ignored by .Ickes.
y
HOWEVER, Roosevelt has some
- times used CLAWS for secret
investigations and feels he can
use him some more. The White
House continues to be sour on
Burlew, which appears to be a
large reason behind rumors of a
likely shakeup in the department
after election, involving the pos
sible departure of Ickes himself.
These rumorS should be dis
counted, because Ickes will be
used in the campaign and Roose-
welt Is! still fond of hinf off and on.
CLAWS - detective hero of the
Ballinger affair, the Teapot Dome
scandal, the Hearst Mexican
documents" expose, the power
trust" investigation, Ku Klux
Khan investigation, and other
causes celebre - will be worth
watching in his campaign investi-
cations.
His record indicates you'll hear
much more of him. Whether there
will be further explosions in In
terror and PWA is anybody's
guess.

CAPT. JAMES COOK, famous
)" navigator, in 1878, came upon
a cluster of strange islands in the
South Seas. The natives, to his
surprise, greeted him heartily, and
so he named the group Friendly
Islands"
Today these islands are known
as Tonga, and are .protectorate
of Great Britain. On the main
island, Tongatabu, is the palace OF
the ruler, Queen Salote Tubou. In
the palace grounds is the historic
tortoise, believed to be more thar
200 years old, which Captain Cook
is said to have presented to the
Tongan chief. Here is the "bread-
fruit" tree, shown on the stamp
below, and "kava," the strong
native drink. vi.
Nearby is Niuafoo, "Tin Can
Island" where ships drop mail for
residents in sealed tin cans that
are picked up by native SWIM
mers. Many stamp collectors have
had such mail delivered to the is
land and returned to them by the
tin can route.
