Calls Attention to Distress
OF Needy Here.

To the Editor Of The Star:
I have read in today's papers that
President Roosevelt is studying plans to
use surplus crops to aid the people of
Finland. Ex-President Hoover is also
organizing relief for the Finnish people.
I have also seen in today's papers pic
lures Of women and children from
Cleveland and Dayton, Ohio. who are
suffering because relief has been cut off.
While our hearts 60 out to the people
Of war-torn Europe we cannot shut our
eyes to the sufferings of our own people.
Throughout the country hundreds Of
thousands Of people are suffering from
hunger and cold without even war for
an excuse. What about the old saying
Charity begins at home? It seems
to me that we should take care of our
own people first. A good way Of saving
our own democracy. A. q.

Calls for Stronger
Foreign Policy.

TO the EQllOI Oh Inc otdI
am greatly disappointed with the
attitude of the editorial department Of
your paper in face of the present world
crisis. No great nation wallows in such
ignorance of what constitutes the basis
of world peace as these United States.
It's entire foreign policy, European and
Far, Eastern lies in wreck. For nearly
three years President Wilson breathed
the very essence, the soul Of false Ameri-
can idealism, only to have the bandage
torn from his eyes and be forced to lead
this country into the World War. After
sacrificing $4,000 lives and $25 600, ,000, 900,
we helped defeat Germany and emerged
from the greatest war in history with
demonstration of power that ranked us
supreme among the nations. All this
expenditure of blood and treasure, the
golden opportunity Of securing future
world order we threw away, retired into
our traditional isolationism-wtth the
result that now confronts us. In the
Far East every policy for which we stood
has been swept away. The open door,
the territorial and administrative integ-
rity Of China, dollar diplomacy, consor-
tiums, collective security-all sacrificed
on the affairs of coneiliation and utter
failure to realize that power and power
alone is the bedrock Of foreign as well
as domestic national policy. If this Is
not failure complete, catastrophe
would you call it? The people Of

is based upon the same foundation as
domestic order, that as the power OF the
state enforces the latter so the power OF
the Nation must be thrown into the bal
ance to establish and maintain peace In
the world at large. Until this basic prtn-
ciple is realized We shall have the spec
tacle Of this great country pursuing it,
pseudo o-humanitarian and utterly false
foreign policy whose past failure y

Highway Landscapes

When the next session Of the Mary
land Legislature convenes in Annap-
oils, it will be confronted with we'll
organized campaign aimed at pre-
venting future despoilation of the
States highways by heterogeneous,
uncontrolled commercial architec-
ture. Similarly, an organized oppo-
sition is to be expected. It will be
made up, in the main, of companies
interested more in attracting public
attention to the names of their prod
ucts, or their clients products, than
in preserving the beauties of the
countryside and protecting lives by
making the highways as simple and
easy to follow as possible. It will be
supported by some landowners who,
lacking vision beyond the immediate
future, hope to sell or lease their
land for advertising or commercial
use, regardless of how such develop
ment may contribute to deterioration
in the value Of adjoining properties.
Maryland will repeat the history Of
the campaigns waged for many years
by organizations composed of far
seeing citizens. Recently these efforts
have been encouragingly successful.
Excellent work has been done in
Maryland in keeping the newer thor
oughfares free from the blight which
has settled upon the Baltimore boule-
ward, the road which presents the
most difficult problem.
Certainly, the most effective means
to curb permanently such distressing
conditions is the passage Of an al
most inflexible zoning law. BY this
means repairs, additions and i'm
provements to existing establish
ments could be controlled, and
within a period Of years, by gradual
elimination of obsolete signs and
structures, the highway could be re-
made. But the boulevard for many
years has been an eyesore. Zoning
alone would mean a long period OF
still greater deterioration before def
mite. Improvement could be shown.
Licensing is a means which offers a
more immediate, though less uni
versally effective control. Led by
members of interested organizations,
the method involves cooperation,

cion, in selling" advertisers, land
owners and businessmen on the ad-
vantages to be gained by abandon
ment of such projects as now mar
the beauty and endanger lives on
this route. Cooperation, while it
has made possible remarkable results
in many jurisdictions, necessarily Is
of temporary nature. Minor phases
involve the elimination of signs and
stands which violate regulations OF
health and safety, but these are cov-
cred by existing law.
Careful planning and co-ordina-
ton of effort between the organiza-
tions of garden lovers, motorists,
civic leaders and woman's clubs can
bring about a program based on all
three methods. They have it in their
power to gain rapid improvement
through cooperation, and to seal
that achievement with solid zonlng

Higgh plig From
Hoey's Message
Delivered Before The General
Assembly Last Thursday
Morn ing.

Governor Clyde Hoey, Thurs
day, gave the 1889 general assem-
bly, 10 detectives, touching on al
most every phase of the states
life, in the address gave before
the group.
Heard in silence but thunder
ously applauded as he finished
his biennial legislative message,
the chief executive warned that
there could be no reductions in
taxes, including the sales levy,
without similar reductions in ex-
oenditures, and expressed oppo-
Sition to constitutional amend
ment to prevent diversion of
highway funds.
He recommended revision of
the states absentee ballot and
election laws, a $5,0O0,000 bond
issue for highways, a balanced
budget and permanent" reve-
nue. act, addition of 18th grade
to the public school system, and
hours law for industry nearer to
present standards"
Also suggested was the use of
electricity instead of lethal gas
as a mode of execution at central
prison.
In a Goth item covering miscel-
laneous recommendations, the
governor urged earnest consid-
Grafton" of enlarged programs in
public health, vocational educa-
ton, library work and education;
retirement plans for the states
employees; a permanent states
exposition; laws for roadside i'm
provement and Identification; a
stronger anti-lynching law; and
revision of judicial procedure re-
lating to the selection of magis-
trates and rule-making for
courts.
Here are some pertinent phras-
from the Governors speech ex-
pressing his opinion on various
matters of interest to the people
of the state:

10000 S c hool
Patrons In N. C..
Are Illiterate
Survey Is NJ a d e Through
Schools. To Ask Legisla-
ture For More Funds.

Surprising as it may seem, ten
percent of the people in Ashe
county and North Carolina are
illiterate-they cannot read or
write, and perhaps even more
surprising is the fact that 49,
900 patrons of schools in the
state, yes, 10000 parents who
have children in school at the
present time, are illiterate.
Those figures were released re-
Gently from the Office of Supt.
Clyde Erwin, state superintend-
ent of public instruction, in Ra-
leigh which has been making a
survey throughout the state, Miss
Ruth Moore, field supervisor of
WPA who was here Monday,
stated
She said that when all reports
are in, this figure will even be
much higher than $4,000. There
are number of counties, includ-
ing Ashe, from which complete
reports have not been submitted,
it was stated.
In conducting the survey, Mr..
Erwin sent notices to county sup
erintendents and principals of
schools, asking that they survey
their counties and communities,
Miss Moore stated. In many
counties the WPA adult educa-
ton teachers, who have already
made illiterate surveys, cooper
ate when requested to do so by
the superintendent and princi-
pals" she said.
She declared that public school
officials are realizing more and
more the Importance of the adult
education program. For the cur
rent year the state is spending
$4,000 on adult education and
the state department is asking
the General Assembly this year
to contribute $l45,000 to this pro-
gram" she stated.
1t is estimated that the feder-
al government is spending around
100000 on the WPA adult edu-
cation work in North Carolina
this year. Miss Moore pointed
out that the aim now is to estab-
fish permanent program of CIV
ing instruction to the adult
people.

Roosevelt A k s Congress
For Nine Billion To Run
i. S. Government Next Yr.
Proposes Another Term OF
Heavy Federal Spending.
Moderate" Taxes.

Washington, Jan. 5.-President
Roosevelt today proposed anoth-
er year of large-scale federal
spending which he estimated
would lift the gross public debt
to an all-time high of 44,458,00O,
900.
This Indebtedness, which he
predicted would be reached un-
less moderate" tax increases
were imposed to pay for the en-
larged armament program and
farm subsidies which congress
authorized last year, would be
within about half a billion dol
lars of the limit allowed by pres
ent law
1t was expected generally that
MIR, Roosevelt would ask con-
gresS later to raise this limita-
ton, on the grounds that the
government should be free to
meet any unforeseen emergency.
The $8,995,OOO.OOO budget,
which the president submitted to
the legislators for the next fiscal
year contained much that was
pleasing to advocates of increased
armament and to the spending
for-recovery" school of econom-
ic thought.
Farther Into Red
Its forecast that the govern
ment would 60 $3,326,O00,000 far
Their into the red during the year
was anathema, however, to most
Republicans and conservative
Democrats who, like Senator
Byrd (D-Va.), contend the new
deals fiscal policies are leading
the country toward chaos. A
storm of criticism broke this
quarter, Senator Taft (R-Ohio)
said the budget was shot through
with the false idea of pump
printing" and Senator Baily 3D.
N. c. declared continued heavy
spending meant more and more
taxes.

shows that in addition to the
comprehensive work against tu-

giving of 1913 tuberculin tests,
and the holding of the county's
first clinic of this type, efforts in
the prevention of such diseases
as typhoid and diphtheria were
continued as we'll as an unusual
number of home visits.
The detailed report is as fol-

Baldwin, Duncan, Bristol col
ored, Healing Springs, Elkland,
Lansing, Mill Creek, Helton, Ma
than's Creek, Jefferson, Virginia
Carolina, Warrensville and West
Jefferson schools were visited
and tuberculin tests made. In
these schools, Office and some
homes 1913 tests were given. OF
this number, 40 positive reac
tons were given appointments to
meet DR.. r. T. Jenkins in the tu-
berculosis clinic held in Jeffer-
son December Is through 10.
One hundred and twenty of this
number came in on time and re-
ceived the benefit of his expert
diagnosis and recommendations.
Only three people of this number
were recommended for sanatori-
UNI care. Applications have been
made and preparations are un-
derway to get these three people
treated as early as possible.
splendid assistance was Civ

sewing room made the Grapes for
the chest examination. These
were issued to the health depart
mnt through the superintendent
of welfare. Both the director of
the NJ Y. A. and the superin-
tendent of welfare assisted at
different times in interviewing
patients at the clinic, also bring
ing patients who had no trans
portation to the clinic.
''The Presbyterian social work
er also assisted in bringing pa
tientS to the clinic. The trustees
of the Methodist church, the Pas
tor and other members were gra-
cious in lending us the Sunday
school rooms for the clinic. The
county commissioners were gen.
erous in giving coal heat the
house and the services of the JAM
itor for the whole time of the
clinic.
ION the first day of the clinic,

Der of sick students out and since
that most of the time has been
