will do our best to further their
employment in the gainfully occu-
pied life of America, particularly
in private industry, agriculture
emergency agencies and the civil
service.
We condemn the present New
Deal policies which would regi-
ment and ultimately eliminate the
colored citizen from the country's
productive life, and make him
solely a ward of the federal gov
ernment.
3-To our Indian population we
pledge every effort on the part of
the national government to anne
liorate living conditions for them.
I've pledge continuation of
the Republican policy of adequate
compensation and care for veter-
ans disabled in the service of our
country and for their widows, or
phans and dependents.
5-We shall use every effort to
collect the war debt due US from
foreign countries amounting to
$12, 2,000, ,00O, ,000-one-third of our
national debt. No effort has been
made by the present administra-
tion even to reopen negotiations.
6-We are opposed to legisla-
tion which discriminates against
women in federal and state en-
ployment.
Conclusion
We assume the obligations and
duties imposed upon government
by modern conditions. We affirm
our unalterable conviction that, in
the future as in the past, the fate
of the nation will depend, not so
much on the wisdom and power of
government, as on the character
and virtue, self-reliance, industry
and thrift Of the people and on
their willingness to meet the re-
sponsibilties essential to the pre-
servation of a free society.
Finally, as our party affirmed in
its first platform in 1856: "Believ-
ing that the spirit of our institu-
ClOilS do WCu as tuC SolStlIuCiou VI
our country guarantees liberty of
conscience and equality of rights
among our citizens we oppose all
Legislation tending to impair
them," and eve invite the affilia-
ton and cooperation of the men
of all parties, however differing
from us in other respects, in sup
port of the principles herein de-
clared."
This acceptance of the nomina-
ton rendered by this convention
carries with it, as matter of pri-
vate honor and public faith an un-
dertaking by each candidate to be
true to the principles and program
herein set forth.

AN UN-FUNNY JOKE

Nothing is as far from being a
joke to a newspaper than to have
false reports creep unknowingly in
to it's columns, and certainly moth
ing is less funny to the ones about
whom the reports are printed.
Last week, some Glendale Springs
resident thought it would be an ex-
cellent joke to write news items to
the Skyland Post and include a
number of weddings, naming boys
and girls who are still in high
school and who had no intention of
getting married. To add to the low
ness of the trick, the name of one
of the girls in the report was forged
to the items.
With a little investigation, it is
thought that the one who sent in
this report can be identified. There
are a number of laws under which
he or she might be prosecuted, but
the outstanding one is that of forg-
cry, because it was only by the use
of the name that was forged was
the article printed.
The Skyland Post regrets that the
county has anybody in it who
would, deliberately try to lower the
standard of the county newspaper,
and the regulations of its innocent
readers. Much of the news carried
in a county newspaper must be sent
in from various parts of the county
and the only protection the editor
has is to ask that each article be
signed by the one sending it.
Last weeks occurrence was a re-
gretable incident which, however,
reflects more on the low type of
mind of the one who engineered it
than on the girls and boys on whom
it was intended to reflect.

FEED THE BIRDS

The recent heavy snowfall which
remained on the ground unusually
long, according to those who make
a study of wildlife, has done untold
damage to quail and other small
game, and you perhaps have OBJ
served for yourself the plight of the
song birds, which have been almost
totally dependent upon the thought
fulness of their human friends who
placed food for them.
There may not be such another
snow this winter, and then again
there might be. But there will be
abundant need for thoughtful pro-
vision whether there is now or not.
If food supplies are not buried in
deep snow, buds and seed pods will
be sheathed with ice, and there will
bee nothing for quail or birds to
feed upon.
It is such little thing, such little
trouble to place bread scraps or dis
carded cereal where the birds may
feast upon it when there is nothing
else to be had. And you will be cal
loused indeed, if you do not get
genuine JOY and pleasure in the
response on the part of the birds
friendly little creatures that will
chirp their chant of thankfulness,
right there on your breakfast room
window ledge while you sip your
morning cup of coffee. For it does
not take long for the neighborhood
song birds to know where the
''breadline" is.
And the quail and other feather
ed wildlife! It is more difficult with
these, to forestall the suffering and
distress endured when food is
bound in winters iron grip, but it
can be done with little thought
and planning. Every farmer knows
the habits of birds and where they
most likely will feed, and every
farmer has some grain that he can
spare.
Wouldn't it be fine, in the face of
the past few years experience with
human misery when human beings
had to be fed and reclaimed, if we
would all sense our responsibility
to these feathered friends of ours
that will need our help so badly be-
fore the winter is over?

EDUCATIONAL COSTS STILL
CONSERVATIVE

A newspaper article informs us
that around 100000 boys and
girls are being served annually by
the public schools of the United
States at a public cost of $2,00O,-
100000.
When the United States was
young, money was spoken of in the
class of thousands; then we grew up
to millions; today, we rattle off the
figures of so many billions just as
if we were speaking of ten-dollar
bills. Even so, none of us are able to
comprehend the vast amount of
money involved when we say the
figures. Two billion dollars is a lot
of money and tax payers have a
right to wonder if their children
and their neighbours children are
getting value received.
We ought to get a big amount of
learning in our heads for two bill
lions of dollars each year. Yet, we
find by comparison that education
costs no more per annum than other
necessities. While education costs
two billions, it costs $3.50, 100000
to run our courts and administer
criminal justice, and the upkeer
and construction of roads cost
$2,3OO,OOO,OOO.
IF our educational system is
worth anything at all, it should cost
more than what we pay out to
bring criminals to justice and tc
build methods of travel up to an
even faster schedule Those who are
being educated today are the ones
on whom we will spend money in
the courts tomorrow and for whom
we are building the roads where
many will kill and be killed.
Two billion dollars, no matter
how much money that represents
would be a cheap price to pay if
we could educate our children to
such a point that we would not
need to spend the 7$2,15O,0O0,000 for
administering criminal justice; and

Just about the time that everyone
began to breathe freely regarding
the bonus payment and to think:
Well, that is off our minds, we learn
that it is not settled at all. Instead
of issuing bonds, a strong group is
in favor of making greenback
payment. The proposed greenbacks
are said to be money based on the
surplus of gold and silver in the
Treasury, and intended to keep
taxes down. Any promise to head
off taxes has a pleasant sound. The
baby bonds may be all right, but
they would make a most unwel-
come infant if left on the taxpayers
door step. By some, greenback
issue is yoked to the word "infia-
ton, and imitation suggests some
thing that is going to 'bust". The
soldiers had enough experience
with explosives over there until
they should not be made to face the
possibility of other explosions here
in time of peace. AS the matter now
stands, the veterans will be paid,
but in what medium, and whether
or not the slected medium is good
stuff, are affairs that are in the
hands of our representatives
While Uncle Sam is holding a
number of defaulted promises to
pay" from European countries, he
is told that Greece is ready to make
a thirty-five per cent payment of
back interest. There is a classic adj
monition to beware of Greeks bear
ing gifts. The proposal may be en-
tering wedge designed to split off,
ultimately, more than half of the
total amount due, yet, : we might
judge them wrongly and it is not
always good policy to look gift
horse too closely in the mouth.
Chesapeake Bay is frozen and an
island community is in hard
straights, the grocery store has
been eaten clean and the local doc
tor is on the mainland and cannot
get home. Making allowances for
differences in details, other parts of
the country tell the same story. In
situations, aircraft may be able to
hold, but when old Mother Nature
goes on rampage, many of our
civilized 1uxuries fail to bring us
any comfort.
