Club
Us Planned Here
Bars No Shade
of Hair or
Politics

Democrats and Republicans Of
every shade of opinion will be able
to hobnob in the same club if their
hair is some shade of red.
Eligible for the newly-proposed
Washington Redheads Club would
be persons of such different politi-
cal complexions as Mrs. Harold L.
Ickes, bride of the New Deals Sec
retary of the Interior, and John
D. M. Hamilton, chairman Of the
Republican National Committee.
RED ROOM HEADQUARTERS
A National Redheads Club is
being formed with headquarters in
the Red (of course) Room Of the
Kentucky Hotel in Louisville, KY,
with the prospect of the same
color scheme being organized In a
Washington chapter.
How amicably these assorted
redheads manage to hobnob In
local chapters over the country
will help to prove or disprove the
traditional notion that redheads
have tempers.
Although the chapters naturally
will be exclusive, they will be as
democratic as they can under the
circumstances - welcoming any
shade of red hair from auburn
to orange" the organizers say.
If Washington should have such
club, among the persons fitting
into its color scheme would be:
Mrs. Ellen S. Woodward, WPA
Assistant Administrator.
Mrs. Joseph Flack, wife Of an
official in the State Department.
She is from Vienna, but be-
came an American citizen last
month.
Mrs. Clarence N. Goodwin,
wife of a prominent Washing
ton lawyer.
Mrs. clifford Pinchot, wife Of
the former governor Of Penn
sylvania, who spends some of
her time here.
Martin H. Kidder, the redhead
chairman of the Kentucky head
quarters, proclaims that the Red
head Club wants national recog-
Lnition of the fact that Redheads
do not have terrible tempers, and
that many famous men and women
in all walks of life are redheads."
AIMS ALLrINCLUSIVE
In a notice, headed Calling All
Redheads," Mr.. Kidder insists
that "the aim of the local and ma
tional RedheadS Club is the better
ment of redheaded children, with
Especial attention to the care and
adoption of redheaded orphans;
cooperative assistance in helping
one another secure jobs and i'm
prove business conditions through
mutual effort; endeavor to keep
all redheads off of public charity
lists by making them selt-Support,
ing, and many other features that
make the Redheads Club interest
ing and valuable to the membe~1
and the nation"
Undaunted by the size Of those
goals, the energetic Redheads
Club will carry on other activities,
such as "luncheonS with promi-
nent Redheads as speakers, regular
club meetings, organization work
and social service"

Neuv Tabloid
AtGreenbelt

GREENBELT, Md, Sept. 8.
With an editorial plea for local
ecribes to ''pitch in with their
journalistic talent" this commu-
nity's sprightly sixpage Greenbelt
Cooperator made its debut as q
printed journal yesterday.
OF tabloid composition and
issued weekly, the new paper for
some time past has been appear
ing in mimeographed form. At
least eight pages are promised in
future editions.
Lack of a stable personnel"
and financial weakness" has pre-
vented the Greenbelt Cooperator
from becoming a printed" paper
until now, the front page editorial
said.
Commenting on its venture into
the regular Journalistic field, the
editorial said:
There are two factors which
will determine whether or not we
stay above water. The first is the
support of Greenbelt. If everyone
buys our paper regularly, if a
large group of volunteers from all
over town pitches in with their
journalistic talent, then we will go
o long way.
"The other factor is advertising.
With a mimeographed periodical,
we found this source Of funds diff
ficult to tap. It is our hope that
this will no longer be the case"
Concluding, the editorial said it
felt that a printed paper would
make our voices heard"

while the logical policy is to cut down On space
when business is coming in under its own mo-
mentum and to boost sales budgets in slack pc
RODS, in practice the opposite happens.
"The government is pouring out money for.
various purposes to stimulate public purchas-
ing power Why not consider policy Of allow
ing business concerns to deduct any increase
in their advertising and selling expenses from
their tax bills during periods when industrial
production is running below normal? Depres-
sions are serious only when retail selling stops
Most of our basic economic troubles today are
not connected with production, but rather with
distribution and taxation. Speeding up the flow
of goods is where we must put emphasis rather
than on speeding up the assembly line. Space
advertising can play a tremendous part in this
program.
advertising is to mass distribution what the
machine is to mass production. Right now, for
instance it deserves a good share of credit for
the comparatively excellent volume of retail
trade. Sales cannot move goods unless GUS
toners know about them i think that mer-
chants and manufacturers now realize this more
than they did in 1929. Not only should purchas-
ing power be inflated, but the will to buy should
be encouraged. Advertising is the last item to
cut from your sales budget unless you want to
close up.
'I have three specific suggestions along this
line for the months ahead, First, shop careful
ly for, your food. Always stock up on "sale"
days on your staples Watch the clothing, shoe
and other merchandise sales, although look
carefully before you leap. Second, pay cash for
your goods. Conservatively installrnent buy
ing costs you 10 to Is per cent more. than cash
Third, make simple budget and stick to it!
Remember, "a dollar saved is dollar earned
There is no easier way to increase your income
10 per cent than by carefully buying all goods
from tomato soup to oriental rugs! Follow these
purchasing rules and 1888 will not be too bad
year!"

Additional Work
On Parkway Will
Provide Many Jobs

Washington.-Con Construction of new
sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway
and bituminous treatment of rock
surface roads in the parkway sys-
tenn this spring give promise Of TAX
ing care of large amount Of relief
labor, A. E. Demaray, associate di-
rector of the National Park Service,
said today. 4
Demaray pointed but that four
contracts were let in January for
construction of two sections Of the
parkway: 1876 miles on section 2-J
from Beacon Heights to Linville
10 miles on section Tx from Lin
vile Falls to Mckinney Gap, steel
bridge on section I'm, and CROSS
ing separation on I'D. He estimat-
ed that these contracts amount to
about 81, 100000 for North Carolina.
The Park Service also hopes to
advertise soon for bids on other
grade separations on section 2-B and
I'D, estimated to cost $4,000, and
the parkway section FL, running
from Mckinney Gap to Gooch Gap.
Plans for other sections are COM
plete, and the Park Service is wait
ing only for the state to obtain
right-of-way before advertising for
bids. Although it was thought in
the fall that this construction would
be contracted for before Christmas,
the Park Service now hopes to let
the contracts before spring.
I'VE are reasonably sure of hav-
ing all construction on the Blue
Ridge Parkway underway by
spring" Demaray said.

What's What
ABOUT -
Social
Security

(14D Question: The personnel
records of my establishment show
IN employee by the name of
William Smith, but he has a Social
Security account number under the
name of Bill Smith. Which name
should I use in making reports un-
der the Social Security Act
Answer: If your employees acee
count number shows his name as
Bill Smith" instead of William
Smith.
(142) @: One of my employees
has two or three Social Security
account numbers. So far, I have al
ways reported him under the same
number, but I understand he
should have but one number. Just
what should he do with the extra
ones?
Each of your employees should
have only one Social Security &C.
county number. Possession of more
than one account number is not in
the best interest of the employee.
Seek to have employee turn in to
the nearest Social Security Board
Field Office for cancellation all but
one account number card. On the
back of each card turned in for cam
collation. there should be written
plainly and accurately the number
of the account card retained by the
employee.
(143) Q: Does the amount work.
er win get in unemployment COM
pensation payments depend on the
persons wages?
A.: The amount of payments
which will be made to an eligible
unemployed worker under the un-
employment compensation law will
depend on the amount of his week
~ wage, the period for whichhk
has been employed and other<c{A
tors. Ask the State Unemployment
Compensation Commission for full
information.
(144) @: Will everyone who loses
his job get unemployment compen-
sation?
A: No. Unemployment compen-
sation will be paid only to those un-
employed workers who register for
employment and who otherwise
qualify under the State unemploy-
ment compensation law. Payment
of unemployment compensation was
begun in all the States in this Re-
gion, which are, North Carolina,
District of Columbia, Maryland,
Virginia, and in many other States,
and each worker should inform
himself about the provisions of his
State law.

A RECESSION CURE

AS sure cure of the present recession and
for all Expressions, Roger w. Babson recon-
mends ADVERTISING.
.For 80 years have studied business cycles
and have tried to discover how the peaks and
valleys can be ironed out. I have always been
convinced that one of the best solutions is by
the proper use of advertising.
"When times are good and business is boom
ing. advertisers like to drive for orders This is
only natural. Actually, however, manufacture
ers and merchants should hold back in good
times and build up advertising backlog which
they can pump out to maintain sales volume and
their employment in periods such as the pres
ent.
"If-all concerns in the same industry would
agree to spend a certain percentage OF their
gross sales on advertising, this policy might be
made workable The trouble is that few OUT
fits would always back out Of the bargain and
take advantage of their competitors programs.
Two or three concerns can scarcely afford to-
carry the advertising for the industry. So,

SOMETHING ABOUT THRIFT

Statistics gathered over long period of years,
according to an article in Thrift magazine, show
that 81 percent of American citizens-more than
half of the population not have as much as
$4,000 in money or property, or both, when they
reach the age of IS years. In other words, more
than one-half of our population is dependent
upon somebody else for living, or on charity,
when it reaches the 65th milestone. That is a
startling revelation and one certainly worth
bordering over. 1t ought to prove powerful
sermon to a lot of high school boys-and others
just starting upon business career.

But out of all the flood of words
there was no outright pledge to pre-.

which nazidom took sweeping strides
last week.
Hitler's silence on that point was
his only answer to a Europe that

COLDS: HOW TO PREVENT AND CURE

It is said that an epitaph in an old cemetery
near Boston reads as follows
Here lies the wife of Thomas Proctor;
She caught cold and wouldn't doctor.
She couldn't stay; she had to go;
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Modern health authorities, however, point out
that the most important thing is to avoid catch
ing colds and agree that proper diet is one of
the most effective agencies of both prevention
and cure. Here are some helpful suggestions by
DR.. George NJ Cooper of the North Carolina
State Board of Health in The Progressive Farm
er:
"More people suffer from colds and respira-
tory infections particularly in the winter
months, than from any other condition. So far
no one has been able to give the world much
information on how to prevent colds or what to
do for them when caught except to drink plen-
ty of water and fruit juices and stay in bed
Common sense and medical science, however,
offer some advice which if followed might pre-
vent much suffering and many untirnely deaths
from such infections. Some of the things which
may prevent colds or make them milder if con-
tracted may be enumerated as follows:
'The diet should be what farm people call for
their animals well balanced and should consist
of plenty of milk and butter; some fresh meats
in season Gncluding eggs and fsh); an album
dance of fruit and vegetables of dicerent kinds
the year round; sufficient quantity Of potatoes,
both white and sweet. and wheat flour white
or in the form of graham bread), together with
good Southern cornbread
Regular habits in every particular, eight
hours sleep or more every night with enough
fresh air, and keeping the house reasonably
comfortable but not too hot or too cold are some
other helps in avoiding colds, digestive upsets,
etc.
Finally about the only thing definitely known
about cold is that it is highly contagious
Therefore, the best way to avoid one is to keep
away from the person who has had an acute
cold; and the person who has one should care
fully avoid contact with others sufficiently close
to spread the infection" -M organton News
Herald.

DAIRYING IN AsHE

The unlimited possibilities of dairying IN
Ashe county were described in an interesting
article which appeared in the January issue OF
Guernsey Breeders Journal, a national maya
zine Splendid publicity was also given to the
county by this beautifully written article, parts
of which are given below
'In the Land of the Sky where North Caro-
lima, Virginia and Tennessee joins hands, lies
Ashe county, North Carolina. West Jefferson,
in the heart of this great section, is the countys
thriving town. Away from the beaten path, this
city is almost unknown to the tourist, yet it is
one of the most interesting locations of all south
ern mountain regions
Surrounded by beautiful mountains, fertile
valleys, clear streams, it's appeal would arrest
the heart of the most placid nature. That is not
ALL This part of the country has enough future
possibilities to keep the next generation busy
promoting, developing and building, Funda-
mentally her development must be along agr1-
cultural lines and more especially, livestock
Fertile Valleys wonderful pasture land and
beautiful streams make this a natural livestock
paradise.
"Ashe county is peopled by happy, nature
loving, God-fearing race of old English stock,
among which crime is hardly known. Their
very nature and their section ideally adapts
them to the business Of growing outstanding
dairy cattle and the production of first grade
dairy products.
eft was for these reasons that F. R. Farnham,
of the North Carolina Extension Force, selected
West Jefferson as center for future dairy de-
velopment. Mr.. Farnham, connected with the
dairy division for years, knows and loves every
mountain, valley and stream in western North
Carolina He first started his plans for develop
ment by interesting Kraft-Phenix Cheese Corp
Grafton in establishing cheese plant at West
Jefferson. This plan already received as high
as 10000 pounds of milk in season. and is turn
ing out as high quality products as can be found
anywhere in the south.
"Mr Farnham then aided in organizing
local dairy association that was host to the con-
signors and friends at banquet the night be-
fore West Jeffersons first promotion sale which
was the first sale ever held in that territory.
Probably SO people attended the banquet, in
Guiding breeders from all parts of the state and
from the spirit manifested, it was evident that
these people knew what they wanted to do and
were going to do it."
Complete details of the sale were then de-
scribed, giving the number price and purchaser
of each COW The sale was referred to as "his-
tory-making sale" and we believe that is entirely
correct! Ashe is destined to become one of the
states most outstanding dairying counties
