TAR UCL PUBLISHERS GIVE
STATE $199,? IJV ADVERTISING
* i
North yamlina newspapers must mak? a profit, if they art to sur
vive, the same as newspapers everywhere. They can't afford to
waste or give away the space which is their stock in trade.
And yet according to Charles J. Parker, state advertising direc
tor, the newspapers gave the state more than $100,000 worth of free
advertising last year.
Although this space cost the newspapers the same as any other
space, ii was expended In a cause dear to the hearts of all North
Carolina editors and publishers ? the progress and development of
the state.
/
Tho publishers know their fortunes are inextricably bound up with
the future of North Carolina. When the people are prosperous and
happy, they will buy both newspapers and advertising. And they are
made prosperous and happy by such things as are brought by
newspaper! advertising.
In addition to the advertising space which the newspapers donated
to the state, they also opened their news columns to an untold a
mount of publicity for state causes. This was done on the theory
that people are interested in the activity of their state government.
In short this kind ol information was interpYeted as being news and
was handled as such. Editors leaned over backwards to give a liber
al viewpoint in the construction of publicity sent out from state
offices.
We are happy to see that this generosity and public spirit have
not gone unnoticed. A bound volume of this advertising in perma
nent form will be presented to Governor Luther Hodges at the Mid
winter Press Institute at Chapel Hill and will be placed in the
archives.
Surely the benefits will be as permanent as the record.

SAFETY Oft THE FARM
While the year is still new it is important to make some safety
resolutions. Farm families in particular can cooperate to make
tha new year a safe and happy one, because of safety.
The National Safety Council offers the following suggestions for
New Year's Resolutions to be kept by the farm family throughout
tht year:
1. "We will check the farm and farm home to locate and re
? move hazards."
2. "We will keep all shields and guards in place on machines."
3. "We will handle poisons and explosives carefully, keeping
them labeled and out of reach of children."
4. "Regardless of the emergency, we will not permit young chil
dren to operate or ride upon farm machinery."
5. "We will be cautious in handling all farm animals."
6. "We will keep guns unloaded and out of reach of children."
7. "We will encourage farm safety activities in all our or
ganizations."
8. "We will be alert for safety fifty-two weeks of the year."

1 to NOT BE COMPLACENT
Those who are not afflicted with polio should not stand by and
wait for it to happen.
* When the Salk vaccine was first made known, many people wete
anxious to procure it and found then that they would have to wait
for production to catch up with them.
Now there is an ample supply available and many who should take
advantage of this situation are forgetting how they once desired the
vaccine.
Many thousands are thankful today for this protection. Numbers
of youngsters as well as expectant mothers (who are most vulner
able to polio) are still without this protection. There is sufficient
vaccine to meet the needs of those who have neglected to take the
series.
The job is unfinished when it comes t?y polio. The March of
Dimes program is constantly at work to better methods for fight- _
ing this disabling disease as well as furnishing funds to those al
ready afflicted.
We can help in these two convenient ways. Be sure to take ad
vantage of the Salk vaccine treatment and when you are called
upon to contribute to the March of Dimes, do so without hestitation.

SECURITY AMID TRAGEDY
Heaven and earth will. p*M away
but my words will not paas away;
Mark IS :31.
This age in which we are living
seems to be one o< those transition
periods in which occur many vio
lent eruptions of one kind or an
other. It Is the opinion of many
students of history that when the
present disturbance is over we
will experience a peace that will be j <
different from any that we have j I
known hitherto. Jesus lived in the
period of transition of mankin>
from Judaism to Christianity. It
was accompanied by such disturb
ances as wars and rumors of wars
earthquakes, nation arising agains
nation and even division in families.
Not so long before Jesus was bom
there was the fearful disturbance
caused by the Syrian effort to de
stroy the religion of the Jews;
I which brought on the Maccabean
i wars. Shortly after the death of
; Jesus the Jews revolted agains '
; Rome which brought war. and Jer :
usalem was overrun by the Rom
ans and the Temple destroyed neve
to be rebuilt. These upheavels d<
not cease entirely but they becom
less violent in later periods of his
' TTI
I 1
All that is physical and tempor
al will pass away. These belong t>
time only hence not necessary in
the world. They are here for our
use in preparation for existence in ;
another state. In heaven there will
be no violation of law, no illness, '?
sorrow and death. Not even mat- 1
rimony but we will be as the ang
les of God. Heaven ? the visible !
way, but my words will not pass 1
way, but my words willnot pass a- 1
away.
There are two things that we
may acquire here which we take
with us to the better world, namely,
education and religion. These are
ours for keeps. No crook, shyster,
or Shylock can take them from us.
All else but these are left here
1 when we leave for the other world.
' Lot was a wealthy citizen of Sodom
but he left it all when he went out
of that city. That is true of any of
us. We just cannot take our worldly
goods along when we leave this
werld. But our education and our
religion statr us off in Heaven with
good sized bank account.
?
Wherein lies our security in this
world of such tragic conditions?
What are the things that abide?
; The teaching of Jesus abide. "My
: words will not pass away." When
one builds into his character the
principles enunicated by Jesus he
is building his house upon a rock.
Storms and floods cannot destroy it
because it is securely founded.
When we instill these principles
into the lives of others we are lay
ing up for ourselves treasures in
Heaven. This is a safe investmen
and will prove invaluable to us.
Our security lies in the sover- J
| eignty of God. When our souls are
anchored in tne promises of Al- j
mighty God nothing can harm us |
"Upon this rock I will bufld my
church and the gates of hell shall
j not prevail against it." Babcock's
hymn, This is my Father's world,'
rings true. As long as we are In
our Father's keeping we are abso
lutely safe.
The godly life must endure be
cause there is built into it those
principles which cannot be destroy
ed. Truth, righteousness, goodness.
kindness are indestructible. Our re
*
fuge on the scaffold, . Wrong for
ever on the throne" is not true.
"Truth crushed to earth will rise
again.
The eternal years of God are
hers;
But error, wounded, writhes with
pain,
And dies among its worship
per*". Bryant.
God's word is ageless, timeless
and eternal. In order to be saved
in heaven we must be worth sav
ing. It is the wheat which God
gamers; th? chaff is worthless and
blown away by the wind. Nothing
of man will be saved but the man?
his soul and the principles of
truth and righteousness that have
J been built late it.
