Tense program"
Paul V. McNutt, social security
administrator, said the 1910 vol
ume of jobs filled in private in
dustry was 20 per cent higher
than in 1889 and reflected the in
creased use of public employment
offices in recruiting the labor for
defense and other industries.
Counting both public and private
placements there was an increase
of nearly nine per cent over 1899
in jobs filled.
The number of 1910 applica-
tons for work totalled more than
$500, 000-the largest received in
any year in the history of the U.
S. employment service.
Plant Spending Up
The FDIC reported that 43
banks either closed outright or
were merged with corporation fl
nancial aid in order to save them
from closing in 1910. This COM
pared with so in 1889, Al in 1887,
IS in 1887, SO in 1895 and Is in
1885. Officials said the reason for
few failures in 1894 and 1885 was
the wedding out of weak banks
during the 1888 banking holiday.
The federal reserve board in its
monthly bulletin, estimated that
1910 factory and equipment ex-
penditures represented a $3,000,-
600, 900 gain over 1889, but lacked
a similar amount of equaling 1929.
Private Outlays Down
Estimates prepared by George
Terborugh, board economist, in
cluded $8,3o7, 100000 of plant
spending and $13,816,0O0,00O of
equipment expenditures last year
compared with 100000 for
plant and $11,2O6,OO0,OOO for
equipment the preceding year.
But, the board added, the big
gest gains were due to public
construction land private plant
OUTLAWS were only SO per cent of
1929 levels.

Growing Up!
We were down at Lansing the

saw the new building of the Sc

first time say, why this town is

building up to say the least. Mr..

Wrong
Side In
Many Accidents

Failure to obey what is pro-
badly the most elementary of all
traffic rule-driving on the right
hand side of the road-accounted
for 1889 accidents on North Caro-
lima streets and highways last
year, the Highway Safety Divi-
sion reported this week.
Despite the fact that every
driver in the state is presumed to
know that it is unlawful to drive
on the wrong side Of the road,
this one violation was noted last
year in 886 property damage ac-
cidents, $50 personal injury ac-
cidents, and 1913 fatal accidents,
Safety Director Ronald Hocutt
pointed out.
And this driving on the wrong
side was exclusive of driving on
the wrong side while engaged in
passing other vehicles, a variety
of wrong-side driving which ac-
counted for a good many other
traffic fatalities.
1T is a shameful commentary
on the driving habits of North
Carolinians that more than a
fatal accidents occurred
on our streets and highways dur
lngn 1910 as a result of driving
On the wrong side of the road"
Director Hocutt said. practical
y every school-boy knows that
n this country, at least, one is
to drive on the right |
hand side of the highway, and
very driver most certainly
hould know this. Furthermore,
every driver should obey this
lie at all times, not only because
t is the lawful thing to do but |
llso because it is the safe and |
ensible thing to do
"Think of it," Hocutt said, !
more than one hundred North |
>arolinians who were killed last
ear might be living today but
or the fact that some North Caro-
ina drivers would not say on
heir side of the road!
Don't Straddle the. center
ne. Stay on your side. Be a safe

Inlist1nents In
Navy Increase

That the new re-arming Navy
is fast becoming an organization
for youth, is proven by enlistment
statistics released by the Navy
Recruiting Office at Salisbury, N
G.
Chief Petty Officer, Arthur
Sides, Navy Recruiter, stated yes
terday that of the 322 men en-
listed in this district, all but 80
were under 81 years of age. In
December, all but % of the 218
enrolled were under 81. The aver
age recruit data for January show
that the average age was 1871
years; the average height was SO
inches and the average weight
was 1882 pounds.
Admiral c. w. Nimitz, Chief of
the Bureau of Navigation, in a
congratulatory message to the
Recruiting Service, revealed that
1O,890 men were enlisted in the
Navy during January, 235 of this
number b eing establishments.
This, stated Admiral Nimitz, is
the largest number of men en-
listed during any one month
since the President declared the
Nation in state of limited
emergency.
The present unsettled inter-
national condition which neces-
states the urgent need for skilled
labor has awakened the young
men of America to the education
al opportunities as offered by the
Navy and the excellent trade
training facilities such an enlist
ment affords. The youthfulness of
the current crop of enlisted men

paired. We hope there will be
more, as the year goes on.
Y Vannoys' new building adds
much to the business section and
this, too, may prove an incentive
to others to build.
Weather and Worms
We are still hearing about the
connection of the weather and the
color Of the woody or fever"
worms. Some report that it is
nothing but the ground hog. Re-
CARELESS of what it is, we have
had more cold weather since the
ground hogs day. But then, too,
even the coal dealers admit that
it has not been as cold as it was
last year.

Army Reserves

A drive for the recruiting of a
special class of reserves for i'm
mediate assignment to active
duty with the Regular Marine
Corps is now under way.
Qualifications for enlistment in
this particular class of Reserves
are the same as for the Regular

for training and instructions the
same as one who enlists in the
Regular Marine Corps. Duties OF
the reserves will be the same as
that of the Regulars. Ratings and
Promotions will be made in the
same ratio with the Regulars.
Any time in the future that the
authorized strength Of the Reg
ular Marine Corps is increased
this class of Reserve will be Civ
en- the opportunity to transfer to
the Regulars.

Bic Increases Are Made In
Business For Past Year
Retail Sales Increase, Reports
Show. Public COnstruc-
ton Helps.

Washington. - The commerce
department said this week that
Americans bought $45, 5OO,O00,00O
of goods at retail last year, 8.3
per cent more than in 1889 and
only per cent short of the 1929
peak.
Three other federal agencies
likewise published reports indi-
cative of the general business up
swing in the past year.
The social security board said
that state employment offices
that state employment offices
placed 100000 workers in pri-
vate jobs in 1910 the greatest
number in any year since the
service began in 1888. In addi-
ton, there were $4,000 place
ments in public jobs.
Fewer Bank Failures
The federal deposit insurance
corporation reported that 1910
had fewer bank failures or forced
mergers than any year since 1885.
The federal reserve board said
the defense program boosted fac
toary and factory equipment ex-
penditures to $22, 100000, the
highest level since 1929.
The commerce department, IN
it's report on retail sales said that
allowing for a population in
crease and decline in living costs
"the 1910 per capita distribution
of merchandise in physical terms
surpassed that of 1929 by size
able margin"
Secretary Jones said that sales
had held at the relatively high
level of the final 1889 quarter
during the first six months, then
swung upward, expanding about
16 per cent in the fourth quarter.
More Jobs Filled
Jones described this year-end
surge as ga reflection of the SUBJ

and income generated by the de-

Every day we run across odd
names and wonder about their
origin. A glance at the recent
military service registration lists
reveals the names of. many great
and near great men. Often times
parents admire some political, CT
vic or religious leader so much
that they christen child in hon
or of him. Regardless of the name,
they cannot, as usual thing, in
still the principles or characteris-
tics of the famous man into the
namesake. Perhaps after all it is
safer to name a son for his ia
Their, for one will know in a mea-
sure what to expect of him, then.
We heard of man who went
to hotel the other day and reg
istered as J. J. John B. B. B.
Bronson. When the inquiring
clerk asked him how he happened
to be named all that, he replied,
II was christened by a minister
who suffered"
Worth and Value
Speaking of names, Ashe coun-
ty has a valuable citizen whose
name is Worth. Just how much
he has been worth to this section
cannot be estimated. He spoke to
the fathers, sons and daughters
at the Rotary club last Thursday
and gave many suggestions, that
if carried out, would be of much
value to both fathers and sons.
And speaking of children pas
sessing the characteristics of their
fathers, Joe Neal, Jr., showed that
even at this young age he can
stage a good imitation of his IA
Their.
Setting Examples
Often we are setting examples
without realizing it, particularly
among the very young. And that
is one of the many reasons we,
as grownups, should be careful
about what we say and do. The
other day we heard a West JEFF
ferson youth say that he would
be glad when he could chew to-
bacco and spit as far as certain
we'll known around town.
The story goes that another
young lad went to the barber
shop and asked to have his hair
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1941-02-20

is a very healthful sign, asserts
Chief Sides, proving that our
young men have a weather eye"
for the future of the Nation as
we'll as to their own careers.
To prevent a continuous change
of personnel, continues the Sails
bury Navy Recruiter, the Navy is
relying on the love of the sea and
the enjoyment of the service that
seems to become a part of every
man who serves a Navy enlist
meut.
