Thursday, February 16, 1928 i Itefraak Crane Saysl l§ij ! Endurance Importance depends on enduran ce. Endurance is the retention thru time of a n achievement of value. Thurs says Whitehead in Science and the Modern World. ( Endurance is the real test of a : man. It is something that we can | all have. If. we can do nothing else j we can hang on and remain the j same. ~ . . V Sometimes this is mere pighead ness and stubbornness. But in this world of fluctuating values and fluc tuating men it is a pleasure to find something stable. _ One of the strongest pleas of the church is that it has endured thru out the ages and is still going strong. Whatever has endured for a long length of time must have some merit j to it. . _ , i The life of an organism depends i upon its ability to adjust itself to its / surroundings. Life is a tragedy for’ th is in perfect health when he* can breathe the air, enjoy the sunshine and partake of the food that is offered him, and his lungs, his stomach and his other organs are far from unanimous (News and Observer) The action of the State Highway Commission declaring it would not ask for additional bond issue to build roads has not won unanimous ap proval. There are sections, which feel they have not secured the roads that are greatly needed, and they will make themselves heard wdien, the legislature meets. The Edenton News voices dissent from Northeast ern North Carolina. It says that it is necessary to completely remodel “miserably poorly laid, poorly con structed and experimental roads that dot the mileage of this entire sec tion,” and it adds: “The State Highway Commission cannot point with pride to its work in the northeast, because its work i here has been a miserable iailure They have failed to connect the county seats with a standardize*: hard surfaced road, as the gooc" roads bill was intended that they should do; they have failed to fiiy the road building material that will stand up under the traffic of low land travel, and standardize those roads in this entire section; they have failed to make the nine-foo road on Federal Highway 17, be tween Hertford and Edenton, a standardized 16 foot, county seat to county seat highway; they have fail ed to make the Virginia road out of Edenton a successful road, the pres ent pavement being in such condi tion that it is worse than nothing they have failed to give Perquimans county anything but what Perqui mans county paid for themselves: . they have failed to construct one • single piece of suitable road in Cho- j wan county that was not partly naid for by the county; they have failed to give to Gates county any more than they could possibly heap: cne*« have failed to build a lowland road over the sinking toadbed in Cam den county: they have failed to con struct and complete the Virginia road to Elizabeth City through South j Mills road; they have failed to give I to Bertie a connection with Martin by a standardized 16 foot county seat to county s~at road* they have failed to make the roads out of New Bern a pleasure and a pride, instead. of the narrow roads they now have; they have failed to give to the Scot land Neck sect or of Halifax county a single foot of hard surfaced road leading out of it. The News advocates an increase of forty million dollars of bonds to complete the system. “We demand that we be treated like a member of the State, and not as a foster child by its parents in Ralpigh.” It goe« or. to say: “There are sections of North Carolina that need no more roads; that’s true, but those sections HAVE YOUR EYES EXAM INED BY AN EXPERT— IT COSTS NO MORE Dr. J.

Time has dealt harshly with some popular favorites, while others have survived. Some of the popular songs our an cestors sang are still popular. No one could tell at the’ time which they were, but the passing of the years has tested them. It is perhaps a wise thing not to build a monument to a man before ihe is dead. Time must have its op ! portunity to pass upon him. i There is something in mere en i durance, and the man who is able to stick a thing out to the bitter end has the advantage over one who is continuously changing. Do not stick to a thing simply be cause you have chosen it, but after choosing it wisely keep your feet firm and do not vacillate. i.- . > *;•. ~ # . , * & . acre few.

MOTIVES OF “DARING GIRLS” The Uplift The daring girl, the one who is the first of her group to smoke a cigar ette or to take a dTink, who wears the shortest skirts and affects the most shocking conversation —is usu ally motivated by nothing more than a pathetic desire to be popular. This is the conclusion of Jessica G. Cosgrave, who has been teacher Infant Car© • Mothers, you can’t start too early to establish a child’s serene and tranquil disposition. Even an infant can have a. happy, fretlcss state of uninterrupted health. What will help do this? A simple, purely vegetable product as old as you are: plain Castoria. A few drops of Castoria will settle all uneasiness in a jiffy. Will dispel colic or ward off constipation; and just as surely check diarrhea. In real sickness, call a physician. But many physicians urge only Castoria for those little childish disorders that need nothing more. You need never be afraid to give pure ‘Castoria. It is safe and perfectly harmless, for it contains no paregoric, no opiates, no dope of any kind. At least, this is true of the genuine Fletcher’s Castoria* —and that is the" kind doctors tell you always to buy. Fletcher’s Castoria is fine for any child. All children love to take it.

C. | , j and counseler to hundreds of girls ' through their teens, in New Bern, j N. C. j “The desire to be conspicuous in | the hope that popularity may follow j explains why every group has, and always has had, its extreme mem bers,-’ says Mrs. Cosgrave in an ar i tide written for Good Housekeeping | Magazine. The pathetic aspect, she points i out, is that frequently such girls | would rather not be considered j “wild.” but lacking either mental lor physical qualities and actoui ; plishments which attract others they seek to avoid mediocrity by making themselves conspicuous by their daring. ’ “They do whatever is being done a little more emphatically than any one else”, she says. “If skirts are long, theirs trail around them; if short, they go above the knees. If hats are large or poked, their fea tures are extinguished by their head gears. They adopt the extreme sty les in dancing and frequently go almost or quite over the line in acts of questionable propriety, or even morality, not —at least at the begin ning—because there is anything real ly wrong about them, but because they are so anxious to be the first and most conspicuous in everything Ahey do.” Although such types attract at tention “such effection cannot be moderate,” she points out. “It must continually strain for new effects or it ceases to challenge. So the course of action begun in the desire to ar rest notice becomes more and more bold and foolhardy until frequently there is a smash of some sort. Citing examples from her own ex periences, Mrs. Cosgrave contends that many girls of the “wild” type really possess extraordinary poten tialities which would win them last ing admiration and esteem of their friends if wisely developed.' Qual ities of friendliness, sympathy and consideration, she points out, are likely to go much farther toward winning lasting friendship than rash and spectacular escapades and the floutinrr of convention. - 1 WOMAN’S AUXILIARY MEETS The February meeting of the Woman’s Auxiliary of St. Bartho lomew’s Episcopal church met at the home of Mrs. W.

Just look for the Fletcher signature on the package and you will know you have the genuine and pure Castoria. * SPECIAL NOTE: With every bot tle of genuine Fletcher's* Castoria is wrapped a bcok on “Care and Feeding of Babies” worth its weight in gold to every mother or prospective mother. Children Cry for Hi THE CHATHAM RECORD < did address was made by Miss Lil lie Hill, the beloved missionary from this Parish, who is doing such a wonderful work in Rockingham coun j ty. She vividly and most feelingly j portrayed her experiences in the Prison camp where she and her lit tle band of evangelistic workers con ducted a study class and Sunday school for the prisoners. She stat ed that one of the greatest problems I today is the problem of parents and j that the inmate of the convict camp | are, in the majority of cases, the product of parental neglect. Miss Hill holds three prayer meet ings weekly, these being conducted, in part, by different members of her little band. ; 4 The county home is visited* regu larly and services held. On days she visits the shut-ins. The case of one young man, who ; has lost practically every faculty ex cept speech, was especially touching. We were shown that we should not refuse to do our share of God’s work when called on, as each of us has an influence on some one. In closing she asked that we pray for her portion of God’s work: Her talk was an inspiration and was thoroughly enjoyed by ail. Mrs. N. M. Hill, president was presented with a beautiful potted plant, as a birthday remembrance from the auxliiary. The hostess served a delightful sweet course. .. After cutting the birthday cake, with gleaming candles representing the 72 years of long arid useful ser vice of our dear president, each mejmber wrote a birthday wish for Mrk Hill, thus closing a most en joyable meeting.
