BALL GAME MARRIED:

DALI ofl"L
football enthusiast who likes to
attend the local games, but doesn't
like to hear the queens English
battered up, says the fun of the
game for him is greatly reduced
because so many people, on
school ground mind you, talk
about this and that player being
"pen-alized," pronouncing with
short "e" in the first syllable and
sounding like "peu." The coach
or cheer leader may have to take
the situation in hand so there will
be no one missing when the ball
is kicked off, when school chill
dren, players and spectators will
say it with long sc" as in "pea."
HARD ON SANTA: Just about
the time we thought of saving a
few pennies for Santa Claus the
state motor vehicle bureau serves
notice that if one wants to ride
after December 81, license plates,
now on sale, must be purchasd.
What hard blow!
THE RIGHT PLACE: The
Pennsylvania Times, reviewing
progress in the valley, says this is
good time to invest and build
in Brevard. The same applies to
Hendersonville but we may be
waiting to see what Santa Claus
has in his pack.
PROPHETS NOT NEEDED:
With the thermometer down to %,
the seasons low, and a frost some
what like a light snow, this morn
ing, it didn't take the early risers
nor early frost prophets to see
the first clean-sweeping, killing
, frost of an unusually mild fall.

KICK IN THE PANTS

Only the South stood steadfastly loyal to the
Democratic party in last weeks elections and The
Newberry Observer, noting the fact, comments and
asks question: b..
The South deserves plenty of recognition from
her party leaders. Will get it, are they just
taking it for granted'?"
If we do get it, it will be tremendous change
from practice heretofore.
For instance:
Since the beginning the WPA has spent On prof
ects in the 13 southern states 1924, 100000.
In New York state alone it has spent total of
$650,0OO,OOO.
The population of the 13 southern states is &c.
$4,000 and the population of New York state is
1885, 900.
New York sometimes goes Democratic, sometimes
goes Republican The South habitually goes Demo
cratic.
ana the reward for the South's loyalty as the
cold hgures show, is a kick in the pants.LGreen-

A SPORTING PROPOSITION

wv ORlVlNG on the public highway will become q
sporting proposition as much as deer hunt
ing Is today, when every instructed hunter enters
the woods under code which takes into consider
ation his fellow hunters, said William j. Cameron
of the Ford Motor Company recently in address,
ing a safety conference.
Driver, pedestrian, manufacturer androadbud-
er are the links in the safety chain. weakness in
any link mperils the entire chain. The attainment
of safety requires the fullest cooperation on the
part of all concerned. And so far, the driver anC
pedestrian have failed to extend that cooperatior
to the extent they should.
Safety has long been the guiding motto of the
automotve engineer. Bodies, brakes, lights steer
ing, tires-all have been immensely improved tC
reduce hazards of motoring. The road builder has
similar achievements to his credit, with improved
non-Skid surfaces and highway designs that sep
arate lanes of cars travelling in opposite directions
eliminate crossings, and otherwise lower the
chancc OF an accident to the minimum.
The casualty insurance companies were pOn.
ecrS IN automobile driver and pedestrian safety ed
ucatlOn work and the Association of Casualty and
Surety Executives has been outstanding in it's eff
forts along these lines.
In spite of all efforts to save him from harm
however, the pedestrian continues to ayWalk-
and the motorlSt continues to give her the gun
and commit those other motoring errors which
killed $4,000 people last year. But this year the
toll has been somewhat reduced, due to the efforts
o1 safety groups which are attempting to nstill a
sense of personal responsibility for individual safe
ty, in every citizen. It remains to be seen whether
the public wants safety-or wants our streets and
highways to remain a shambes.

INCREASE AWARDED DRIVERS

New York City QLNS).-Frank
Swacker, an arbitrator appointed by
the New York State Board of Media
ton, has awarded drivers employed
by the Children's Bus System, of New
York City, an increase in wages of
62l2 per cent.
Arbitration followed a strike, called
by Division No. 1881, Amalgamated
Association of Street, Electric Rail
way and Motor Coach Employees when
the management failed to live up to
union agreement entered into earlier
in the year, under which it agreed to
arbitrate the question of wages.
Swacker directed that the wage
rate of drivers employed by this bus
system, which has contract with the
citys board of education and serves
some 10000 school children, be in
creased from $40 to $3.50 for a d.
day week. The rate of pay for drivers,
when employed in the work of carry
ing children to and from school and
in Incidental work they might do dur
ing customary hours Of service, is to
be $3.50 day.
The wage rate obtained by the
union, an A. f. of l.. affiliate, is the
highest ever to be achieved for this
type of work The award benefits

Willard Long Thorp, economist for
Dun & Bradstreet, is in the news by
Ibis appearance as one of the first
three men to come before the monop-
|oly committee; and, like the others, is
of early middle age. He will not be
40 until next May. He took his first
degree from Amherst, his second at
the University of Michigan, his Phi.
D. at Columbia-and they do say that
he thumped his way through all of
them as dance orchestra pianist.
He served on the research staff of
the Bureau of Economic Research. He
was chief statistician Of the New York
Board of Housing. He came to Wash
ington in 1888 with the Federal AL
cohol Control Administration, and
was one of the large number of young
men who were berated by mossbacks
as "brain trusters."
He has written many books, all on
economics. 1t should not be omitted
that he served as End lieutenant in
the U. S. Army in the World War.
Dun & Bradstreet loaned him to the
monopoly committee, and he brought
his figures with him.

A LOW BLOW

EVEN the son of the President of the United
- States is entitled to decent treatment Jimmy
Roosevelt has probably made as many mistakes
as other youngsters of his age and he certainly
has been the target for more criticism than any
other American of 80 or less.
However, we feel that Rev. Howard Stone An
derson, pastor Of Washington church, hit Jim
my below the belt the other day when he ap-
peared before the Dies Committee and complained
that Jimmy was setting "a bad object lesson tc
the country
Mr.. Anderson's complaint was that Jimmy
had not exercised his legal right to deduct from
his taxable income such contributions as he may
have made to religious institutions.
Apparently MI. Anderson did not realize that
there are some people in this country who feel that
deducting church contributions from their income
returns is their own business.
Jimmy" says he made the usual contributions
claiming an exemption and sometimes
refusing to dO so.
1t seems to us it might have been well if Mr.
Anderson before he rushed before a Congresson-
jail committee, had made reasonable effort to get
the facts from the young man he was about tC
strike in public.
We do not profess to be an authority ON ethics
but to our mind that would have been the Christ
an-lke course; and minister of the gospel even
If he doesn't like the New Deal should have re-
Spect for Christian precepts.

Predict $606,300
Xmas Buying Here

A $606,300 Christmas was forecast
this year for East Liverpool retailers
by the National Consumers Tax Com
mission in a survey indicating nation
wide Yule sales approaching two
Ibillion dollars.
Christmas shoppers in this city's
stores will pay, most of them un-
knowingly, $92,764 in hidden taxes
according to the report released today
lat NCTC headquarters in Chicago by
Mrs. Kenneth c. Frazier, president.
The holiday business" estimate
was based not only on reports from
department and speciality stores, but
on figures from all retail lines, includ-
ing drug, food, furniture, hardware
household Furnishings, jewelry, auto
motive; dry goods, iioveity and variety
stores, the report said.
An average of $10.48 apiece will be
paid in indirect levies by families in
this state, whose Christmas expendi-
lures are expected to equal $6S.47, the
study showed. 1t explained that while
most families will spend less than
this estimate, expenditures of those
in the upper income group will bring
the average to that figure.
| Mrs. C. W. Walters of Cleveland is
,NCTC national committee member in
Ohio.
In releasing the survey, Mrs. Fra
zier declared, hidden taxes not only
add to tha urcp of Christmas nl1r-
chases, but to the price Of food, cloth
ing and other year-round necessities

There are more than 1900 commits
sion units from coast to coast, Mrs
Frazier said. She described the NCTC
as a "non-partisan women's organiza-
ton designed to analyze all taxes, and
combat those that penalize the con-
Isumer."

A CAUTIOUS TONE

COME of the business forecasters are taking a
~ cautious tone. They do not look for a severe
reaction in the upward production and consump-
tion cycle-they do think that the rate of better

worst factors, and has troubled financial markets
The automobile industry continues to lead the
way, with production of nearly 100000 cars
week. AS Business Week says so long as this con
tinues, there is little cause for apprehension as
to the general business curve" Consumer demand
for new cabs seems very strong-far stronger than
was thought possible six months ago.
1t is extremely doubtful, however, if we will be
able to regain early 1887 levels within the next
three or four months. Steel is down badly by com
parson with that booming period, and there is
small likelihood of production coming up with a
rush. And such burning problems as those of ag-

DOING UNIONISM NO SERVICE

NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD has
ordered Douglas Aircraft Co. to reinstate 32
sit-doWn strikers, eleven of who were convicted in
California courts of Conspiracy to commit forci-
bic detaner."
The ruling is part and parcel of the board S
policy Of supporting sit-doWn strikes, evidenced
before notably in its backing of sit-doWners en-
ployed by the Fansteel Metallmgical Corp, Of
North Chicago.
There is strong public resentment against the
slt-doWn strike, which has been emphaticaly con-
demned by the American Federation of labor The
labor board bases its support Of the Sit-doWn on
the ground that the employers in the cases Just
mentioned employed unlawful tactics against the
workers before the strike
The board apparently forgets that two wrongs
do not make right. 1t is doing no service to un-
lonlsm IN backing the Sit-down and in fact it is
fostering action that has brought state of the
public mind leading to such rcpreSSiVc efforts as
the attempt in three Pacific coast states to enact
antl-unlon amendments to the state constitutions.
The amendments were defeated in two states but
carried in one, which is reason for thought on the
part of all organized labor.

WHO'S RESPONSIBLE?

WHO invented the playing cards which have
" brought pleasure and sorrow to countless
millions in every, land? That question has been
frequently propounded but up to date a satisfac-
tory answer has not been found.
H IT. Morley, an Englishman, has gathered
1000 packs from all parts of the world and he is
exhibiting them at hospital benefit in London
Some antquarians hold that French courtiel
designed the first playing cards in order to enter
tain insane king, but Mr.. Morley points out that
the Frenchman's cards bore the symbols of Hin
du god Therefore he is inclined to think that
playing cards first appeared somewhere in Asia,
but he refuses to attempt to locate the exact spot
His oldest English pack was made about 1880,
but he has Hifu pack; consisting Of 1f2aSo re .4adt
and 10 suits. Who was responsible for that trouble
maker, and when? Mr.. Morley will not even haz-
ard guess.
