should Sam want job on the farm
or anywhere else as long as he can
loaf on the WPA and get his liquor
and bread without eXerting any
energy? Why should Sam, Ed or
cousin Susie or cousin anybody want
to work if all the necessities of life
ar given to them gratis.
But there is Sans cousin Willie
Penrod, Penrod Willie or whatever
you wish to call him, who works
hard. From sun-up until sun-dOwn
he labors trying to make decent
[ living. But who gets the benefit of
his labor? Why Sam and Ed on the
WPA, of course. Willie has to pay
for their clohtes, the food they get
at the unemployment office and pay
heir taxes.
While the above is purely fic-
titious and may seem a little ia
tuous, if you wish to call it as
such, yet it gives vivid and au-
thentic description of America in
its spendthrifty program to restore
prosperity for the betterment of
humanity.
But has prosperity returned?
If your answer is in the affirma-
tive take one good look around you
and watch the vast number of un-
employed people who today are
armbling along the streets and
along the roads, searching for an
honest job. And if you still believe
prosperity is here, take one in
statistics.
For 1933-1938 the government
appropriated 36.8 billions for re-
lief and unemployment. And for the
year 1899, 1875 billions were appro-
priated, bringing the total govern
ment. appropriations to 49.3 billions
for the so-called relief and unem-
ployment In other words, we are
spending, or should we say wasting
money at the rate of $4,000 every
minute. Every sixty second we are
getting $4,000 deeper in debt.
How long can we afford to waste
our money at this prodigious rate
with a new world war impending?
(.Iust before typing these lines
heard over the radio that Warsaw
has been bombed six times by the
German army.) How long can we
continue 10 pay n1gn TAX 10 Ieeo
loafers while we honest American
citizens are trying to make a decent
living? Why our useless spending
this year will equal the value of
the states of Montana, Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington, and yet we
continue to spend foolishly.
We Americans had better wake
up before we run into a national
bankruptcy.

OUR USELESS BILLIONS

] 10 the SOllOi
Two men o1 the darker race were
seated beside pile of bricks
amusing them selves fishing pork
and beans from can and masticat-
ng them slowly. One was large,
dowdy and wore an old tattered hat
with a shirt containing only one
sleeve. And his toes had almost sue
ceeded in cutting new tunnel
through his number ten shoes.
The other was darker, slightly
bent and moved slowly.
''This is the dang best job ever
I had, Ed," the taller one was say
! .ng.
! ''Yeah, Sam, have to agree,
, with his beans in midair II don't
have nothing to worry about. l
W ork on this WPA and has the
easiest job ofimy life"
can another thing, Sam said, a
smile tugging at the corner of nj
mouth, II go by the ABC store every
Saturday and get me pint of
Four Roses, and boy do l have a
! time? Look at these old shoes, he
continued stretching his feet for
ward, full of holes, but why should
l worry? Now 1 amt putin no
money in no shoes when the well
fare people will give me some.
Why all you gotter do is let the
kids 60 around until their clothes
get SO thin the people will think
they are in a nudist camp, then
you'll get all the clothes you need.
An look how some people rave
about high taxes. Why, we hardly
know what tax is"
you're right, Ed agreed, "You
just look at cousin Willie Penrod
down the street a little. Why he
works hard every day and part of
the night an he hardly makes
enough to feed and clothe his fam
lily. An if he makes anything the
government takes it for takes.
Another thing, Ed," Sam said
tossing the empty pork and bean
can away, "the other day a farmer
comes to me and asks me about
working for him through his tobacco
crop. Now amt that somethin'?"
Yes it is something. Something

2. The last congress North Caro-

Thirty-sixth Congress in 1861. The
next delegation from this State to be
seated was in July 1868.
8. The several states at that time

North Cardinals finances were IN

10 the Editor
A few days ago an officer of the
police department tagged my car
parked in front of Woolard's drug
store for parking just out side the
line. l paid the dollar and felt that
l had no one to blame but myself.
The next day saw two cars park
ed between the space my tagged car
occupied and the hydrant. One of
these cars was parked directly in
front of the circular line enclosing
the hydrant.
They were there at least 80 min
utes, and during that time three
members of the police force passed
by at different periods and entirely
ignored the violations.
Personally, think these new traf-
fic regulations are splendid, and we
should have had them long ago, but
they are doomed to failure if the
police department does not enforce
them without partiality.

ROTATION HALTING
TOBACCO DISEASES

Reidsville, Sept. 4.-Crop rotations
apparently are giving excellent re-
suits in controlling the black shank
disease of tobacco in Rockingham
county, reports Farm Agent F. S.
Walker.
When Agent Walker found this
disease on a number of farms in 1884
and 1885, he recommended that rota-
tions be started, in which tobacco
was to be eliminated for at least four
years. A recent check-up revealed
that producers who followed the re-
Communications and waited four
years before planting another crop
of tobacco have secured almost 100
per cent crop this year. However,
those who planted only after a wait
of two years still have definite evi-
dence of the disease in their fields.

Why The Ears Rebel
At Airp|une Flights

Aviation medical experts, such rs
Armstrong and Helm, have watched
the ear drums under decreasing
pressure. The drums bulge and then
suddenly snap back in place-the
crack.
This corresponds exactly to the
symptoms experienced when ascend
ing in an airplane. AS the altitude
increases the air pressure dimin-
ishes and the ear drums bulge. This
creates condition in the middle ear
which eventually causes the -Eus-
tachian tube to open, equalizing
pressure, and the ear drums snap
back into place corresponding to
the crack that has been described.
Experiments with varying pres
sures have shown that the first
bulge begins at about 200 feet alti-
tude. It increases to 500 feet alti-
tude and then the click occurs. The
bulge Immediately begins and res
toration clicks occur about every
500 feet of ascension.
When the atmospheric pressure
is increased instead of decreased, q
totally different effect is produced.
Here the Eustachian tube, acting
like a f1utter valve, remains closed
under all conditions Of pressure. It
can be opened by voluntary efforts.
This corresponds to the conditions
that obtain when the plane is COM
ing down. And this is where the
acute discomfort begins. Yawning,
swallowing and chewing gum tend
to open the tube and help things out,
but, in my experience, not enough.
In the meantime, the ear drum takes
an awful beating.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-09-04

recital of my symptoms only pity
ing smile. thought I was peculiar
and brooded. To my relief, I find
that many of my fellow human be-
ings, young and old, have had ex-
actly my experience and that even
the pilots suffer so much from it
that it is their common occupational
disease, called "aviator's ear" in
the United States, in Germany,
borotrGsn,G, and by aviation sur
geons, Gero-otitis media.
Uncomfortable Feeling
The feeling is, assure you, most
uncomfortable. AS the ship rises
you feel as if a pugnacious little
dwarf were pressing on your ear
drums, and then something inside
your ear lets go with rip and you
feel better for a time. Then the
pressure recommences. But when
you are coming down, the worst part
occurs. Then you get deaf, with an
increasing feeling of fulness. The
feeling does not wear off for hours,
sometimes days.
The explanation is natural. Re-
member that the ear drum, in order
to record sound, must be able to
move back and forth. Nature has,
therefore, placed it in front of an
air chamber-the middle ear. Air
goes in and out of this, middle ear
through hollow tube-the Eusta-
chan tube-which leads to the
throat. oBut this tube, instead of
standing wide open, as we generally
have imagined it, is collapsible
through most of its length, and acts
as a f1utter valve, opening only in
termittently in response to pressure.
One other thing opens it; certain
muscles attached to it draw it open
when swallowing or yawning occurs.

TOBACCO CROP FOR
STOKES INCREASED

Danbury, Sept. 4-Stokes coun-
tvs 1889 tobacco crop is three mil

crop, but it will have to average
20 cents a pound to bring as much
as last years total.
J. F. Brown, farm agent of the
State College Extension Service,
said growers harvested 1885, 900
pounds in 1888, which returned
them $3,1OO,0OO. Production this
year is expected to total 100000
pounds.
eff the crop averages only 18
cents, Brown said, "the total re-
turn will fall short of last years
crop by nearly third of a million
dollars"
