tanned the tameless river, but how
long?
Once before, 1t was thought that
the river was under control. 1t re-
belled and the Salton Sea was form
ed from the overflow. The great
Imperial valley, producing varied
and abundant crops is the result of
the rich soil deposited by the river
through millions of years, a soil OF
inexhaustible depth. Remember the
river, 1000 miles long, is the sec
ond longest in the union: is 7.7OO
feet below the northern rim, and is
deep enough to pile beneath its rim
fve Empire State buildings one on
top OF another. So much for depth.
but remember the canyon is 217
miles long and 18 miles across. at
it's widest point, and the river 100
feet deep at flood tide, moving ten
or twelve miles an hour. It looks
like mere thread, when you see it
at first, but you learn it is a mile
below you, and three miles awav.
This place is called Navajo Tower.
but wherever you go along the vast
rim, you have a breath-taking pano-
rama, with miles upon miles OF
beauty and grandeur.-Howard II.

The county sent some hands to put
in a tile near Roy Chappalear's
and reported we had the worst
roads they had struck If the coun-
ty surveyor would come out now to
inspect where the bad places are
and mark them, and when the roads
settled they would be able to re-
pair the bad places, instead Of put.
ting the stones where not needed.
The bad places are on the hill above
East Branch, and west near East
Branch, and across from Roy Chap
palear's, and on the Dawson hill,
and near L. w. Williams house.
We have pointed out these places in
order the county surveyor would
not be compelled to come out and
park his car on IS, and wear hip
gum boots to inspect the roads.
Owen GLADDEN. who has been in
poor health, contemplates selling
his farm and locating in some town.
A doctor advised him to quit hard
work, as it would shorten his life.
On account Of bad roads the
school bus is unable to go the full
route. Our rural mail man has to
foot it almost one-half of his route.
One of our citizens remarked to
us that the roads would soon be so
they could not get to town for eats,
to console him, as he had a touch
of kidney trouble, it was claimed
that starvation would cure it. He
said it may be SO, but it would be
hard on the stomach.

SOCIAL SECURITY
IS misunderstood
That Makes 1t All the Hard
er To Administer, yell
ton Says
'laily Dispatch Bureau.
I'm the Sir Walter HOtel

Raleigh, Jan. 12.-Widespread ''mis-
understanding" of the social security
rogram-particularl of the old age
/ assistance phases-is the principal
cause for difficulties ingadministering
he system, Nathan Yelton, director of
he division of Public Assistance: said
today.
"For instance he said, there are
any number of people who think that
the legislature intended for every per-
son in North Carolina who is over SIS
years old to get $50 a month, regard
less of his economic status.
eff such program were tried, it
would cost $54,OOO,OOO per year. AS a
matter of fact we have $4,O00,00O with
which to carry out the entire old age
assistance program. So the difference
between what we can do and what 4
great many people expect us to do is
just a little matter of fifty million
dollars year." 81.
Another threat to real success of the
is the tendency to extend it's provi-
sions to too large number of bene-
ficiaries, which in turn reduces
sharply the amount received by each
of those to whom old age assistance
is granted.
For this reason we try to impress
upon the county authorities who are
primarily charged with selecting the
beneficiaries the necessity of being
absolutely sure that the applications
approved meet all the requirements, >
he said Because if we try to spread
the benefits to too many persons tn.
amount received by each will be so
small as to do no real good.''
The average now being received by
old age assistance beneficiaries in
North Carolina is only about $94O, he
pointed out, sum far from being
large enough to take the recipients
entirely out of the class which must
receive other assistance.
He lauded the plan of placing one
fourth the cost on counties, because
he said, this gives county officials a
real interest in keeping the rolls as
short as possible. At first, he added,
counties showed a tendency to 'load
up with every possible beneficiary
but an explanation of the program
to these county officials has remedied
the fault.
