A RADIOGRAM ANSWERED
Th« Lord is Shepherd (Ps. 23:1)
* ♦ •
A Presbyterian youth from New Orleans was a
naval wireless operator during the war. Early one
morning, after a night on duty, he snatched a few
minutes for his "Quiet Hour" wheji no message
was going over, and he was reading the 23rd
Psalm. Suddenly the thought came to him to send
the Psalm out over the water and see if any ship
would take it up. He did. and as he sent the last
word sixteen ships answered a wireless "amen."—
From Christian Life.
A SOUND FISCAL PROGRAM
Fred H. Clausen, chairman of the com- '
mittee on federal finance of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, offers this
fiscal program for the consideration of the
powers in Washington. His suggestions
are the following:
Congress should take immediate constructive
action to avoid further budgetary deficits.
The termination of deficits should be sought
through decreased expenditures rather than
through new or increased taxes.
Congresa, in dealing with appropriations for ,
the current and next fiscal years, should estab
lish as an objective that in the next sucqeeding j
fiscal year there be provision for definitely j
scheduled reduction of debt.
In the adoption by Congress of policies with I
reference to taxes, expenditures, governmental
loans and borrowing, fuH regard should be given
to their possible adverse financial and monetary
effects.
Congressional procedure should be developed
for adequate consideration of the budgetary
situation as a whole.
The policy of spending money primarily for
the purpose of stimulating business activity
should be abandoned.
Until effective debt retirement is provided, the
establishment of additional spending agencies or
new forms of expenditures should be avoided.
Individuals and groups within and without the
government should refrain from exerting pres
sure to obtain appropriations of a special-inter
est nature.
The Bureau of the Budget should be provided
■with effective means of controlling all types of
expenditures of executive departments and in
dependent establishments and should be given
ample power to enforce economy.
Provisions should be made that the expendi
tures of all agencies of the government be au
dited by the Comptroller General.
Of course, it is known in advance that
the foregoing program will get no atten
tion from the national administration, but
it ought to get serious attention from the
citizens of this country and especially
those who have the conviction that drastic
action must be taken to get the country out
of the deep hole to which it has been con
signed by the raw dealers.
This program is sound; it is common
sense and business-like. It points out in
general terms and in its indication of the
general direction, what must be done and
the course which must be taken to redeem
the government from the curse laid upon
it by those now in control in Washington.
This course is absolutely necessary to save
the situation and nothing short of such
action will lift the nation out cif its present
condition and start it again on the road to
real recovery and the restoration of nor-,
mal conditions.
This program should have the careful
consideration of all citizens; and every
citizen who desires to vote for the welfare
of his country, as well as his own indi
vidual welfare, should, before the Novem
ber election, compare this program with
the platform of candidates for Congress
and the United States Senate and deter
mine how the records and promises of said
candidates stack up with the sound, prac
tical, common-sense of this suggested plan
of action.
Style Note: Chamberlain and Daladier
signed the Czech partition pact in morning
dress. And the Czechs agreed to the plan
—in mourning dress.

THIS AMENDMENT HAS MERIT
A proposed constitutional amendment
which merits the favorable consideratior
of the voters of North Carolina is thai
proposing to make the terms of office ol
sheriff® and coroners four instead of twc
years.
This amendment has already been en
dorsed by hundreds of the State's leading
citizens, in both political parties, and in
public as well as private life. Favorable
endorsement and support is daily becom
ing more widespread arid forceful. Indica
tions are that in the November voting the
proposed amendment will be ratified bv
the people of the State by the casting- of a
majority vote favorable to the proposal.
j NEWSPAPERS' OPINIONS
A FIDDLER TO BE PAID
Sur le pont
D'Avignon
On y dan»e
On y dan*c
Hut the old bridge is broken now and nobody
dances there or anywhere else in France today.
The French are reckoning up the cost of the bar
gain into which they were dragged headlong by
Mr. Bumble of Downing Street. They see them
selves stripped of the last jphred of influence in
Central Europe, deprived of all support from angry
Russia, confronted with a rising German colossus
which soon or late is likely to turn back from the
east to resurrect "the right of German minorities'
in Alsace-Lorraine, being pulled headling toward
agreeing to let Mussolini have Spain and so put
ting an enemy on the southern border, and being
pulled, too, into a four-power pact whereunder
their sole role will be humbly to echo Albion pcr
fide. And so their fret are heavy, and their songs
are silent.
But in the Sudetenland—there they dance to
day, to be sure. Not all of them, no. Not the
Jews, and not those thousands of Germans whc\
want last of everything to become Nazis. These
run, as fast as they can go. But for the rest, they
dance. Bohemian mountaineers in the bright coa
tume of that country for 500 years. Pink-cheekcd
girls with their yellow hair in two braids down
their backs, as their mothers before them have
worn it for centuries. In the streets of all the
towns and villages of Sudetenland they dance and
sing and shout for joy and cast flowers to carpet
the way. For Lord Hitler, the Deliverer, has come.
And their dancing is sadder than the silence
and the heaviness of Gaul. For it is the very last
time they shall dance for a great while to come,
save as marionettes dance upon the strings of the
master of a puppet-show. For what, indeed, is this
Deliverance that has come to them? It is this.
Yesterday they were free men. They could and
did openly speak sedition against the Prague gov
ernment without having their heads chopped off.
But now they must be joyful, however bitter their
hearts grow within them. Now they must take
good care not to think but only incessantly to cry
"Heil Hitler!" lest a club descend upon their skulls
and they, with their families, be dragged off to a
concentration camp.
Yesterday that peasant, dancing so joyously now,
owned the land upon which he dwells, as his fa
thers had owned it before him for centuries. He
could and did prow what and as much as he
pleased, sell where and when and for what price
he pleased, and no man could tell him no, or de
prive him of his Qwn. But tomorrow a Nazi com
mittee will begin to tell him what, and how much
he must grow, and where, when, and for what
price he must sell it. And tomorrow ^ good half
of what he makes must begin to go for the sup
port of the Nazi armies. And if he balks, or fails
to measure up to the demands upon him? Then
he will be adjudged unfit to be a farmer and his
lands will be sold away from him at a prioe fixed
by the Nazi committee.
So with that fat manufacturer roaring his de
light as he cavorts. Free yesterday, he too must
begin tomorrow to make what and as much as he
is ordered, to hire whom he is told, to pay them
what he is told, to turn over the half of what his
masters estimate his profits ought to be, for the
Nazi armies. And if he fails or balks, he will suf
fer the same fate as the fanner.
And that Sudetenland laborei, so full of good
Pilsen brew and gladness? Yesterday, he was the
best paid workingman in Central Europe. He had
his unions and could strike when he did not like
the terms of his work. Tomorrow his pay will be
sharply cut, his hours lengthened, his unions abol
ished. Tomorrow he will begin to hand over some
v/hat more than the half of his pay for the support
of the Nazi armies. And if he balks? He will be
beatei\ within an inch of his life and clapped into
a forced labor battalion, to work for bare bread.
Yesterday all these people were the best fed
people on the continent, as their red cheeks and
stout, well-formed bodies plainly proclaim. To
morrowj the eggs and meat and milk and butter
will begin to be carted away from the farms and
to vanish from the market places—to go for the
feeding of the armies and an accumulation of sup
plies for future wars. Tomorrow, all these people
will begin '.o learn the joys of Ersatz foods—
which is tc say in essence, of sawdust.
Such are the things, precisely, which Lord Hitler
brings. Such is the • Deliverance^ for which they
dance today, as the yellow October sun streams
over the old kingdom of Bohemia, conquered at
last, after a thousand years, without a fight.—

OVER 2,000 NAMES OFF POLL BOOKS
Polk county's election board consisting of John
T. Coates, Jr., chairman; H. E. Thompson and N.
G. Walker, have been busy the. past few days meet
ing with township election officials and weeding
out of the election lists hundreds of illegal voters
who have cither died or moved away. In Tryon
township alone over 800 names were eliminated
out of a list of over 1,900 names. In Columbus
478 were taken off; about 156 in Saluda; over
200 in Cooper's Gap; 281 in White Oak. The exact
township figures were not available at press time,
but a total of 2,003 names had been taken off the
books and the officials were moving next to Green
Creek to wind up their work. The purge of the
books has saved a lot of people the necessity of
having to make special trips to register.—Tryon

LIFE DAY BY DAY
By WICKES WAMBOLDT
The other Sunday I heard an
I evangelist preach in a church
I which customarily has plenty of
! room for the congregation; hut
Wamboldt
on tnis occasion
I it was necossary
i to fill the aisles
| with chairs.
| "Why is it," I
i s k o (1 myself,
"that the people
crowd in eagerly
to hear this
man?"
The evan k e l
ist's sermon an
swered my ques
tion. He struck
out courageous
ly; he did not
mince his words;
he took no pains
to- keep off the
I iocs 01 political nngsiers or any
body else's; he hewed to the line
and let the chips fall where they
might; he did not confine his re
bukes to the days of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob he brought
them right down to the moment;
he talked of the affairs of today
—and particularly of those of the
city in which ho was preaching;
he told the people what they
probably already knew — that
their church had the dry-rot; he
addressed that portion of the
church membership responsible
for the condition as "you old fos
sils, you." The evangelist did not
pull his punches!
"But," someone might say,
wouldn't the people get tired af
ter awhile hearing that preacher
tear into things?" I don't know
about thai. There are many reg
ular pastors who never pull their
punches. They hit hard at devil
ment where and when they see it.
Almost invariably they arc pow
ers in their communities ami pack
the pews.
IT IS AHEAD
Tbe proper attitude to assume
toward the person who has not
made good, and for him to take
toward himself, is, not that he
has failed, but that he has not yet
succeeded.
Success is always ahead for
him who has not yet achieved it.
If he does not attain it in this
world he can continue his pursuit
of it in the next.
THE SCHOLASTIC SUCCESS
It is notable that often' the pif
pil who has been a miserable fail
ure in his studies becomes an out
standing success in the world;
and that the pupil who has been
a shining example of what a stu
dent should be, makes a medio
cre record after he leaves school;
his success in school was due to
his having the academic mind,
which rarely makes a big splash
in the world's affairs. But that is
no argument, against being a fine
student. The best bet for the per
son with the academic mind is to
make it as academically efficient
as possible. The brilliant student
who never gets any farther than
a small professorship Vvould not
have gotten that far had he not
made the most of his academic
mind by making the most of his
studies.
Light Oglethorpe
Backfield Clicks
To Beat Wofford
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 8. (UP).
Oglethorpe university clicked with
its lightweight backfield yester
day to defeat Wofford college, 10
to 6.
Defensive play for both teams
was ragged, leaving ample oppor
tunity for Oglethorpe's last backs
to rip through the Wofford line,
he punting and ball carying of
Fred Kelley, Oglethorpe quarter
back, and Pat Locasio, 140-pound
halfback, kept "Oglethorpe out of
i danger most of the game.
Oglethorpe scored in the first
period when Right Tackle Zelencik
recovered an Oglethorpe fumble
j in Wofford's end zone. Both
! teams scored in the third period.
Kelley chalked up Oglethorpe'.1?
i second tally on a short cutback
i over center. Hilton, mainstay of
I the Wofford backfield, made a
! touchdown in an eight-yard drive
off tackle.
Ansel Paulk, Oglethorpe full
back, punched over the third
touchdown from the one-yard line
later in the fourth period. Kelley
kicked for the extra point.
LonK passes by Hilton to Glad
den and Danner paved the way
for other Wofford scoring chanc
es, but the South Carolinians lost
J the ball on downs each time.
FOWL'S GIZZARD HAS
33 PELLETS OF GOLD
I . *
HOBART, Tasmania, Oct. 8.—
(UP)—The fowl that laid the
golden egg has become as much
of a reality here as apparently is
possible. The difference is that
the gold was in the chicken's giz
zard.
George Town, who dressed the
chicken for dinner, found 33 bits
of gold in the gizzard. Most of
them were about the size of No. 4
shot, and 18 were about one-six
teenth of an inch wide.
CHARLOTTE, BLUE
RIDGE IN 0-0 TIE
(Continued from page one)
merous passes over short center
for consistent grains.
The Blue Ridge forward line
were the stars of the night. After
staving off the serious first-quar
ter thrust, they won the crowd to
them completely. Zakim, Vickers,
and Trabakino were the individ
ual stars, while Powers and Lock
wyod could not be left out in an
honorable mention. Zakim was
particularly effective in backing
up the line, and played a really
brilliant first quarter. Vickers
made several sensational tackles,
once throwing a back for a 20-1
yard loss. Trabakino handed in
probably the best all-around line
game. Blue Ridge used only two
substitutes during; the game. Pen
alties were costly, Blue Ridge be
ing penalized 75 yards. Charlotte
made 10 first downs to the Hill
toppers' seven.

TABLES ARE TURNED
AS JUDGE PAYS FINE I
II AN FORD, Cal., Oct. 8. (UP)
Judge H. V. Breton is out $50 be
cause he turned the tables in
court and let the prisoner pass
judgment.
"If you will sit there and tell
me to my face that $50 fine is
unjust, I will pay the fine my
self," Judge Breton told Tony
Sullivan, 28, who had pleaded
guilty to a battery charge.
The prisoner still insisted he
had been fined unjustly. The
judge paid the $50.
Wait a Minute
By NOAH HOLLOWELL
TOURING HENS: John Rogers
of Horse Shoe has developed a'
breed of "tourist hens" and brings I
in a sample of their c£gs, four of
which tip the scales at a pound,'
says Mr. Rogers.
When Mr. Rogers and family j
pack up for the annual winter trip j
to Rockledge, Fla., the packing is
not complete until lie packs his!
poultry yard, or jit least a portion I
of it. He says after a rest here j
through the summer the hens have '
lots of laying energy and put out I
faithfully when eggs, are retailing I
at about 75 cents per dozen ini
Florida. When he and his family,
including the hens, return in'
spring prices are low here and1
the hens take a rest like other
tourists, hence the name of "tour
ist" hens assigned by Mr. Rogers. j
ANOTHER DEER HUNT: Fred
Toms is trying to got in on the j
deer hunt this year from Novem-'
her 7 to December 3, and for the j
first time in his life will violate)
his better hunting instincts by i
shooting a doe if ho gets a chance, I
since the annual hunt recommends!
this.
Mr. Toms says he has stood in '
the cold for hours, almost days, |
and seen does run by without fir
ing on them because of the law i
and a sportsman's instinct, but
this time he'll let go. Mr. Toms,
like unto many others hereabout,
doesn't think much of the heavy
slaughter of does as well as bucks.
He thinks this section will have to '
pay the price for such slaughter (
sooner or later.
JUST TOO BAD: "It seems a
pity," philosophizes Dr. J. G. Ren- i
nett, "that some can't enjoy a !
good hall game, others fishing and
hunting; some don't have a taste I
for music and -even some can't
distinguish between moonshine
and good bottled-in-bond." Just
think what some people miss.
WE NEED DIVERSIONS: Do
we make the most of our diver
sions? Do we have a hobby that
can change a day of dull routine j
duties into a glorious sunset? Do
we have something: to which we !
can turn that will transform the
ordinary things into the extraor
dinary? Can we enthuse over a
ball Rame alone: With the millions. |
whether on the bleachers or snug
ly by the radio at home? Can we
look forward to a fishing or hunt
ing trip for a week or more with ,
enthusiasm and less drudgery in |
the ordinary every-day events?
Every person needs something
to which his or her innerself, per- |
sonality or soul can spontaneous- I
ly respond, else life becomes too
uninteresting, too drab too com
monplace. Each day bears down
on us with a grind and burden
that prematurel" stoop us so we
cannot stand erect and look into
the sunshine of life.
Find a hobby! It need not neces
sarily entail much time or ex
pense.
ASHES, GLASS, WIRE
FATAL FOR 5 COWS
REGINA, Sask., Oct. 8. (UP) —
The dairy herd of Wenschlag
Brothers, dairymen of Watson,
Sask., went on a mixed diet—and
fared with disastrous result.
Five of the cows in the herd
died. An investigation revealed
one died from eating ashes, anoth- |
er of glass, a third of wire, a
fourth of tin, and the fifth from ;
eating hailing wile.
CLASSROOM BANKS
INCULCATE THRIFT
CLEVELAND, Oct. 8. (UP) —
; Third grade children have their
own banks in the Cleveland pub
lie school system.
The children learn thrift habits
by undertaking: all the operations
I of the' classroom banks.
Pupils, behind a series of desks,
i act as tellers. A young1 depositor
must have 25 cents and a card
j signed by his parents to open an
) account. Any amount can be de
posited, but most of the deposits
are nickels and dimes.
The children are taught what
a certain amount of money will
buy and to judge for themselves
what article, or articles will give
them the most value for their
money under different circum
stances. For instance, they learn
that a dime will buy one of the
rides, a quart of milk, a loaf of
bread, a pocket handkerchief, a
j toy, a book, or two ice cream
j cones.
RATTLES d60RTCALLS

MALDEN, Mass., Oct. 8. (UP)

i Peterson shook a MapleWood
liquor store door to assure him
