Labor Board Changes

Washington is taking the view
that something should be done about
the National Labor Relations Board
oefore the presidential campaign
gets under way. From which one
would suppose that Washington is
not nearly SO much interested in
the abuses growing out OF admins
traticn of the LABOR relations act,
per Sc. as in the effect of such
abuses on the election.
That is characteristic OF those in
control at the national capital,
whatever party may be IN power.
Politics too often takes precedence
over legislation, except as policies
and programs may affect and in
f!uence the trend of political author
ity.
1t is noticeable that little atten-
ton was paid to complaints by in
duStry about operation Of the labor
act until Wanton partiality in its
operation drew the whitening fire
of both sides of labor'S divided
house. Then talk was heard OF
| amendments to meet the objections
not so much those OF industry as OF
labor.

vamping of the law favors junkins

A POEM BY NO POET

But alas! 1t ended in a sob.

In one side and out again.

far as they can in China and that
further offensiveS on their part are

Can this outburSt from the proud

of Squawking from Chang? Have
they pulled up at the END of their
resources, and arc they now feign-
ing victory and superiority in a

is possible.
Chang has SteadfaStly maintained
that he will make no peace as long
as Japan holds Chinese territory.
He may not be able to Wrest it
from them, but at least he will not
concede it to them.
Trouble is brewing for Japan in
other directions of far more
serious nature than what she has
had in China. She quite properly
senses possible difficulties with the
United States, Great Britain, France
and even little Holland. Britain and
France have their hands full at

day may be deferred so far as they
are concerned. But the United

Value OF Church
Is Stressed In
Sermon By Wood

The indispensable place that a
church has in the lives of indi-
viduals, in communities and in
civilization was stressed by Rev.
H. H. Wood in a sermon at the
West Jefferson Methodist church
last Sunday morning.
He described the church as be-
ing not only a place for worship,
but also a place in which the
Bible is taught. marriages per-
formed, funeral services held, and
people touched by the spirit OF
giving and of love for fellow
man.
when people contribute to
needy causes. they have usually
gotten their original humanitar-
ian training in the church be-
cause the church, more than any
other institution, has recognized
the true worth of the individual,
he declared.
The three outstanding tasks OF
the church are: education, COM
munity service and religion, he
asserted.

Business Prospects

At last prophets who like to tell of bust
ness revival do not have to use the phrase
about prosperity being lust around the
corner"-it is here
Every business barometer records the
continued rise in business activity through
out the country. Expenditures for national
defense are generally given as the cause,
but regardless of what it may be, there is
no argument against the statement that
business is growing better each day.
Every industry here is enjoying good
business and this means that wholesale
and retail merchandising is going to reach
new high volume before the end of this
calendar year. There is every indication
that the rising cycle of business will con-
tinue indefinitely
Bank resources here have reached new
high levi, in fact much higher than at any
other time in the history of North Wilkes
boro. This means that Their are ample
funds in this locality to carry on any
amount of business and we unhesitatingly
say that the improvement in business will
continue
The volume of holiday trade this year,
unless every indication fails, is going to es-
tablish new record and the holiday buy
ing will lower stocks to such an extent
that manufacturers will be kept busily en-
gagged in replenishing those stocks.
The business picture is not at all dark

The keynote was the one word: Unity"
Nothing could better express the spirit

stand united as people behind the lead
ers of the peoples choice, after the most
bitter and hard-fought Presidential cleo
