THE CHRISTIANS MISSION
Preach, saying. The kingdom of
heaven is at hand. Heal the sick,
cleanse the lepers, raise the dead,
cast out devils: freely ye have re
ceived. freely give.—Matthew 10:7, 8.
FURNISHING THE POWER
Advertising is furnishing the mo
tived power behind the enormous an
nual sales of cigarettes and smoking
tobacco, and the thing about it for
business in general to learn is that
the managers of the big companies
gladly place the credit there. In a
New Year message, George W. Hill,
president of the American Tobacco
Com pan yy. says: ‘*A large part of our
•ales activity must be expressed in
foreeful advertising, and In 1932 the
American Tobacco Company will con
tinue the aggressive advertising poli
cies that have characterised Ka sales
efforts during the last few years."
The Liggett St Myers Tobacco Com
pany Is Just now placing the largest
dally newspaper campaign it has ever
used In the same length of time.
Reynolds also is shortly coming back
strong.
The tobacco industry Is one of the
most enormous In this country. And
much of the volume Is carried right
here in North Carolina, for much of
the great quantity of cigarettes is
made In factories in this State. It Is
estimated that more than two million
men. women and children owe their
economic existence to tobacco. The
number includes not only the grow
ers and manufacturers, but also the
packers, importers and distributors of
tobacco products, particularly of cig
ars. cigarettes, smoking tobacco pipes
and accessories.
INCREASE IN RADIOS
The Increase in radio sets owned
throughout the country during the past
two yean probably is not as much as
a compilation of figures would indi
cate. When the 1930 Federal census
was made in 1930. as of April 1 that
year, there were 12.078,345 radios in
American homes. This new survey
claims 3,723,275 add.tlonal sets have
been sold since that time, making
a total of 15 801.620 In all.
Any set of figures claiming that
all the automobiles sold In this coun
try within the past two years repre
sent exactly that muA increase over
the number in use at the beginning
of that period would manifestly be In
correct. No allowance Is made for
trade-ins or those in the hands of
dealers, both old and new. And the
same la true of radio sets, only more
so, because actual facts, If they could
be had in such detail, would probably
•how many more radio sets not In
use than automobiles. It is beside
the point to assume that the entire
number of radios manufactured In
1931 can be added to the census f.g
ures to show the number of radios in
use at the present. Allowance must
be made for trade-in sets, those aban
doned and the extensive stock on the
floor of retail dealers.
The claim made for the increase of
radios was set up in the interest of
of radio advertising. But the vast
majority of listeners on radios pay
little attention to the prattle of the
announcer. When the entertainment
Is finished the dial Is twirled along to
another station by many of them.
The radio Is one of the greatest in
ventions of the century. It Is a marvel
in Its performance. But the public
likes It for its entertainment and not
as an advertising medium. The busi
ness house with money to spend in an
effort to get business will do well to
remember that point.
SIX HUNDRED MILLIONS
Recent United States Treasury re
ports say that there are still outstand
ing somewhere In this country con
siderably more than six hundred mil
lion dollars of currency In the old
"poster size" greenbacks that were
discarded for the smaller papet
money a few years ago. The state
ment gives rise to the speculation as
to where adl this money 1a Very
probably a small portion of it has been
worn out or lost.
But a clue to the whereabouts of
a large part of the money has been
discovered by the American Econo
mists Committee for Women's Activi
ties. A good deal of it is believed to
>*e hoarded in old stockings, behind
| mantle clock* and in safe deposit
boxes by housewives and others. Evi
dence of this hoarding has come to
the committee. It states, since its re
cent announcement of the "It's Up j
to the Women" platform, urging Ame
rica's 29 million women, through their
control of most household expendi- !
tures. to take the lead in encouraging
business and employment.
I The Chamber of Commerce of an
lowa city has informed the commit
tee that recent sales events sponsored
by merchants of that community have
brought into circulation quite a few
of the old style large size greenbacks,
which indicates that there is money
in the country. Reports from other
cities also confirmed this impression.
In a New England city recently the
merchants united in putting on a bar
gain day. during which time about
75.000 sales were made, aggregating
something like /1 three-quarters of a
million dollars. A report says the
most interesting point was that about
twenty percent of the purchases were
| made with the old large paper cur
rency.
This hoarded money will buy a good
deal more now than It would have at
higher levels a short time ago when
it was withdrawn by the governmeni
in favor of the smaller money. It will
not buy as much when prices begin
to climb again.
All of which goes to show that we
are not. as a nation broke, not by
any means. We are simply scared to
death. And now we get back to where
we started out. with the original Idea
that what all America and the world
need today is a good big healthy dose
of confidence, faith, courage and
hope.

HENDERSON, IN. C.J DULY DISPATCH- FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1982,
I JAMES ASWELL
By Central Press
New York, Jan. 15—Marginalia of
a Madhattanlie:
All newspapermen practicing In
New York think they know just what
specially •‘prepared fare out
of-townerx like to consume... They
H Imagine there Is
a special problem
1 n serving u p
this • newsprint
dish, with, care
fully marked off
taboos against va
rious subjects....
“Out - of-towncu
would be shocked
by that," and “nobody but a New
Yorker would understand or be inter
ested in that.” ... Blah! ... Every
publication originally intended for
Manhattan consumption has succeed
ed across the land for the same rea
son which brought circulation In
town... And nothing a<>out New York
Interesting locally could fail to get
widespread reaction outside, where
the city is better known than it is to
the natives, anyway...
The big gamblers and gunmen nev
er pay in anything except cash...
Which Is to say. the ex-gamblers, for
there are not enough games going
nightly now to make the profession
worth while. . .There is a store in 42nd
street which has been "going out of
business" uninterruptedly; for ,'four
years... Now the burlesque houses
have taken, in some instances, to giv
ing away “peppy" cartoon booklets
with those boxes of candy sold be
tween the acts .. . Broadway is the
leanest lane in the world for “prize”
candy offers so common a decade ago
WHO?
■Who goes to Harlem anymore?...
Up there, by the way, the cover charge
is making its last stand, and the $2-
a-half-pint ginger ale... An English
paper the other day describbed Sixth
avenue, in the West Forties as “a
portion of New York’s lower East
Side"...That Russian railway wreck
after which the injured were laid out
on a parallel track and promptly run
over by a passing freight, was so as
toundingly simple-minded as to make
it understandable why the Jcenisors
are tight about news from that land. .
The gyp auctioneers still find cus
tomers for those mysterious “bonanza
packages” alleged to be worth “at
least $5”. ..No longer are prospective
customers yanked bodily into East
Side shops by eager salesmen, elimi
nating another touch of humorous
color from the quarter.. .Collier's
Magazine began to prosper prodigious
ly as soo n as it moved offices to the
13th floor of 250 Park Avenue, scorn
ing the superstition powerful enough
to eliminate that floor from many a
Manhattan structure...
Will Rogers has never kissed any
of his feminine movie partners.. .The
Aquaria, in Cortlandt street, has a
tank full of weird, pop-eyed tropical
fish... At $25 per. ..In 1931 an aver
age of $62.50 was spent by Americans
for clothes.. .Many of the families in
the Russian-Polish and Italian sec
tions of the town have letterreaders
call on them once a month to read
and answer correspondence.

resolution was immediately adopted
without a dissenting vote.
“It nae the finest Indication of the
realization of duty and the finest de
monstration of patriotism and loyalty
I have ever seen," Governor Gardner
said following the meeting. "Every
uinlle department head seemed to rea
lize his individual responsibility to do
his part in meetini this crisis.”
There followed almost an old-fash
ioned revival, aa almost every depart
ment head individually rose and
pledged his cooperation in doing what
ever is necessary to carry tHe State
through the present crisis and espe
cially to preserve the State's credit
unimpaired. All agreed that the one
thing that could not be allowed to
happen under any circumstances was
the Impairment of the State’s credit
and that the State's bonds and inter
est must be paid as they fall due re
gardless of what else is done.
Among those who expressed their
approval of the Governor's program
besides Attorney General Brummitt,
who for a while was none too friendly
toward the Governor’s program, were
Chairman W. T. of the Corpora
tion Commission. Commissioner
George P. Pell of the same commis
sion, Commisßione rof Agriculture W.
T. Graham, who during the 1931 gen
eral assembly probably fought Gov
ernor Gardner more bitterly than any
other State officials and who since
have been on very strained relations
with him. But this time they seemed
to have put all old differences aside
in order to cooperate with the Gov
ernor for the future welfare of the
State. Commissioner of Labor Frank
D. Grist grumbled a little, as usual,
but not very loud.
“I know of nothing that will tend
to get the Government of the State of
North Carolina back on a sound busi
ness and fiscal basis and thus restore
the confidence of the people in it,
more than the putting into operation
of the program outlined by Governor
Gardner," said Commissioner of Re
venue A. J. Maxwell, who is one of
the candidates for the Democratic
nomination for Governor. Maxwell is
running on a platform calling for a
retrenchment in governmental ex
penses and a general readjustment in
governmental activities instead of fa
voring any increase in taxation. The
fecommendations made by Governor
Gardner were along almost the iden
tical lines advocated by Maxwell not
only for the past several months but
for the past several years.
“Governor Gardner is eternally right
when he says that as a State, as well
as Individuals, we must forget 1929
standards of spending and start all
over again on the 1932 standard of in
come and then measure expenditures
only in accord with income,” Mr.
Maxwell said. “He is also entirely cor
rect in maintaining that from now on
the State must not even think of bor

"If the State does go on a cash

of the way out will not be so hard."
The patriotic and unselfish coop
eration pledged by the various State
department heads has already been
reflected in the attitude of a majority
of the State employes and a better
spirit is being shown on the part of
most of them than Is generally the
case when a further cut in salaries
or in personnel is apparent.
“Whatever is necessary for the
good of North Carolina will be done"
has apparently become the slogan of
all.
