IS ca11G0.
For examples Of what has happened in other
nations where one party has succeeded in gain
ing unrestricted control, we need only look at
Russia, where the Communist Party is alone
in the field, at Germany, where the National So
cialist Party sits in the saddle, and at Italy,
where the Fascists override all opposition.
We have no belief or suspicion that any POI
ltical party in America entertains the ambition
to emulate those dornineering parties of Europe.
But we feel that it is better for the United
States, whichever party is in power, for it to be
compelled to face at all times powerful oppo.
sition party.
That is not only good for the nation, in insur-
ing that one-sided point of view shall not dom
mate public affairs, but for the party in power
to all citizens alike, regardless of their political
affiliations. Self-discipline is the best discipline,
but few human beings or organizations are cap
able Of it. Faced with a strong opposition, party
discipline becomes essential by reason of pres
sure from outside.
These considerations apply equally to both of
the major parties. For twenty years after the
Civil War the Republican Party was in undis-
puted control of the Federal Government Not
until the Democratic Party had gained enough
strength to be constant menace to Republican
supremacy did the nation really return to the
democratic principles of equal rights and equal
opportunities for every citizen Those have been
best safeguarded, not necessarily by political
see-Saw with the parties alternating in power,
but by the pressure on the Opposition seats in
Congress of enough members strongly backed
blythe voters to present constant threat to any
attemp to infrienge upon the elemental rights
of the citizenry. - "a ~ .,ly.

ONE EXCEPTION, AT LEAST ]

The civilian conservation corps, which has al
ready done an excellent job in preserving both
human and natural resources, has moved for
ward into another field of service where its con-
tribution should be even more challenging and
inspiring to other agencies, particularly govern
mental, which are engaged in attempts to solve
that underlying problem of problems, unem-
ployment.> -.
DR.. Howard w. Oxley, education director of
CCC, reports that the corps found jobs in pri
vate industry last year for third of its entire
enrolment. In other words, 10000 young men
were taken off Uncle Sans pay roll during the
twelve months and put into private employment.
Much if not most, of the credit apparently goes
to the programs which are conducted in the
CCC camps themselves, for, as DR., Oxley ex-
plains, From his first day in camp each CCC
enrollee is made conscious of his occupational
training needs. Camp educational advisors keep
one eye on his guidance and the other on his
ultimate placement in permanent job. Spe-,
officially, it is related that of the go 900 youths
discharged for private jobs in 1885 1876 per cent
were actually placed through the CCC program
and the remaining ga per cent used what they
learned in camp to "find jobs for themselves,
through relatives or friends, the employment
service, a community civic agency or some SINH
lar source
Here is record of vocational training and
service which speaks for itself 1t is little Won
der that the CCC is one creation of the Roose-
welt administration which has won universal
praise, even in those circles where criticism of
anything that Washington does is the accepted
procedure-The Greensboro Daily News.

''Big June" Drew
A Record Crowd
Estimated That Over 5000 PeO-
pie Attended Ashe County's
Biggest Meeting.

The 'Big June" held at Sente1
Primitive Baptist church last Sun
day was really big" meeting and q
number of people who have attended
this service every year for the past
decade or longer, stated that the
crowd Sunday was the largest in
the history of the big June" obser-
vance.
Cars lined the road from the
Sparta highway to the church and
filed the adjacent grounds and yard
in front of the Nathan's Creek high
school gymnasium. Many of them
had license tags from various states
in the union.
1t was estimated that at least
5000 people gathered there Sunday
and it was almost impossible to get
inside of the small church when ser
vices commenced. All day throngs
Of men, women and children milled
over the school grounds and in front
Of the church, exchanging greetings
and meeting old friends, many of
whom they had not seen for years.
Services were conducted by Ell
ders Ed Davis, w. w. Davis, and G.
p, Rotten, pastors of the church.
The visiting preachers included c.

NEW INDUSTRIES

At least 46 new industries have been estab-
ished in North Carolina since the first of the
year, according to ]. T. Anderson, industrial en-
gineers of the State Department of Conservation
and Development.
Of this total, II new plants are hosiery mills
and most of them are located in the Piedmont
area which promises to become the leading
hosiery manufacturing center of the world in
time. Other establishments represent a variety
of processing ventures, illustrating the posi-
bilities presented by the State for diversified
industrial order.
During the first five months of 1888 at least q
firms which were operating in the State before
the year, have taken steps, to enlarge their
plants, Mr.. Anderson says This development
indicates that business conditions in the sales
area are covered by these North Carolina manu-
facturers are promising, and it also reflects the
confidence of these firms in the future of indus
try in the Commonwealth. And the steady
growth of old, soundly financed industrial con-
Germs, bespeaks steady employment and stable
purchasing power from which bus:ness enter
prises, new and old, will derive much benefit in
the future.
To what extent the rapid influx of new indus
trial enterprises into the State is due to the adj
vertising campaign now in full swing, it is, of
course, impossible to say. The Journal.

A COMMUNITY HUT?

The adage that "a1l work no play makes Jack
dull boy" aptly appliesto adults as well as
children. Everybody needs a certain amount
of recreational life, both athletic and social.
Wholesome recreation stimulates our minds
and bodies, develops u better spirit of friend
ship and mutual goodwill IN any community.
Unfortunately the recreational facilities in.
Ashe county2a are limited and therefore most of
us do not have an opportunity ito play" and
make the social contacts which would afford
much entertainment and pleasure.
In this connection, one of the things that is
needed badly here is community hut" which
could be used more or less as community cen
ter. Our section is too scattered to warrant hav
ing Y. M. c. A. or country club, but at least
we could have community house,. At the
present time there is no place in which to hold a
large banquet or other social activities. Such
building could also be used for holding various
public meetings.
Securing WPA approval on such a building
would be comparative easy matter and we
commend that the .Ashe county post of. the
American Legion, together with, the co-opera-
ton of the Rotary club and other organizations
in the Jeffersons starting working up this pro-
ject. AS joint sponsor, it would also be an ex-%
cellent idea to organize local recreational as
ISOLATION. .st~
With suitable lot $1,000, and WPA co-opera-
ton an attractive. large community hut" could
be erected which would serve our needs ade-
quately for many years What do you think of
the idea?
In this connection, it would also be a fine
thing to have public swimming pool and we
can get that, too.

Saturday Is Last :.
Day To Sign '38
Farm Work Sheets
Over 1920 AShe Farmers Al
ready Signed. Making Plans
To Pool Lambs.

A total of 1920 farmers in Ashe
county have already signed work
sheets and have thereby placed
themselves in a position to partici-
pate in the 1888 farm program il
they comply with the provisions OF
it this year, it was announced at the
farm agents office this week.
: Those who haveSsnot signed work
sheets and would like to do SO, have
only two days left in which to do it.
According to an announcement from
Raleigh, Saturday is the last day and
therefore immediate action is ne
ceSSary.
The committee is still working on
plans for the farmers to pool and
sell their sheep or lambs co-opera-
lively. l. I. Case, animal hus-
bandry specialist from Raleigh is
expected to arrive in the county to-
day to assist in working out all de-
tails. =,
Last Friday, Saturday and Mon
day George Turner, inspector of
weights and measures, was in the
county testing scales, which will be
used in connection with the propo-
sed pooling. -
The price of wool this year is on
ly half of that it was last year and
reports from local dealers, L. S.
Vannoy Produce company and the
West Jefferson Produce Company,
indicate that there is no demand at
the present time.
Last year these dealers paid 40
cents per pound for wool and this
year they are giving 20 cents and
are having difficulty in selling the
small quantities they have already
bought. Mr.. Vannoy stated Tuesday
that he still has on hand most of the
wool he bought last year and does
not see any prospects of getting his
money back any time soon.
