Rendering a Servince Hie dentists of Wilkes county «id North Catoliiia are bringing credit to their profes- akm by. their willingness to contribute to the poblk health through a mouth survey which wiU be made in the schools all over the state neatt week. Hie work of the dentist and the physician ia often very closdy related. The health of an individual is dependent to no little extent upon the condition of the teeth. It is a fact that children who seem dull and incapable of grasping the ordinary problems of school work are generally as bright and intelligent as their more advanced classmates. The trou ble lies in the condition of their health and not infrequently, as statstics reveal, the cause is defective teeth. K the survey which the dentists are very generously making does not result in cor rection gf the defects, their labors will have been in vain. Every parent should make any reasonable sacrifice in order to remove the handicap of poor teeth if the report follow ing the survey should show that such exists jn their children. same d»y of tbo montta; and that most of the children of a family are usually bom in, or near, the same month.

Dnnean. m 1 One Hundred Years As the editor of The Journal-Patriot stat ed both in a news story and in our “This and That” column Monday, “Aunt” Dilcy Cowles was the first person we ever looked upon who had attained the age of one hundred years. We started figuring and convinced our selves that 100 years is a long time. By our calculation, “Aunt” Dilcy on her hundredth Wrthday had lived 36,524 days. Yes, there's 865 days in every year and we add an extra day every four years. At least we generally think of it that way. But in order to catch up with the Sun, we omit one of our 25 “leap years” in every century. So having settled Biat, we agree that 36,524 days is cori'ect. By more figuring, we find that “Aunt” Dilcy had lived 876,576 hours. She had lived fifty-two million, five hundred and ninety- four thousand, five hundred and sixty (52,- 594,560) minutes. And she had lived three billion, one hundred and fifty-five million, six hundred and seventy-three thousand and six hundred (3,155,673,600) seconds. Perhaps after all though, it doesn’t mat ter so much how many seconds we are going to live. Certainly, it doesn’t do any good to worry about it. The really important consid eration is how we use those precious sec onds. comes dmwTto tJlis; ■ A dollar » 8^ hundred cents. T«i make a dims.

It is superfluous for The Journal-Patriot to once again remind our readers that it will be absolutely neutral regarding the candi dacy of every aspirant for office, be he Dem ocrat or Republican. Every office seeker and each party shall be accorded fair and im partial treatment. If it should appear that this is not the case. The Journal-Patriot will welcome any criticism that may be offered. The Journal-Patriot anticipates the na tural enthusiasm which supporters of vari ous candidates will manifest. We recognize the fact that a particular issue of the paper may appear to give a slight edge to some candidate or one party. For this reason, even the most ardent supporter or the most en- “thusiastic Democratic or Republican should consider a campaign in its entirety, rather than upon the news developments of any three or four days’ period. make the cost of his reading matter be yond the reach of the average man.

CHARLES E. DUNN JESUS’ POWER TO HELP Les.son for February 18th- Matt. 8-9. Golden Text: Matt. 9:13. In these two chapters we read of a number of remarkable miracles. Only one of them, the rebuk ing of the stormy sea, treats of the Master’s con trol of inanimate nature. All the rest are miracles of healing, and therefore highly personal. In rapid review Matthew sketches for us the healing of a leper, of a centurion’s servant, of Peter’s mother- in-law. of two who were insane, of a victim of paralysis, of a woman afflicted with a hemorrhage, of two blind men, and a dumb man who was also insane. In addition, we have the touching narrative of the raising of the daughter of Jairus. Now we must never forget that the real miracle is not the healing act so much as the warmth of compassion behind it. The S3rmpathy, the loving kindness, the pity of Jesus furnish the key to true understanding of the miracles. Much time has been wasted in a wordy debate as to whether the miracles actually took place as recorded, and many attempts have been made to rationalize them. All of this is beside the point, for the real wonder is the sheer kind-heartedness of the Master! And By way of stating a position, we respect-, ti,ere need be no dispute about this. All of us can fully call the attention of all our readers to| understand it- For there is nothing so lasting and| tile fact that it is our business, it is our pur- intelligible as the grace of tenderness. A superb conterpporary example of this compas sion is to be found in the amazing career of Albert Schweitzer, that versatile genius who has won dis tinguished fame in three! fields, as musician, theo logian. and medicqj missionary. Not satisfied wiih his impressive record as one of the greatest of liv ing organists, and one of the most fearless of the students of the New Testament, he became a doc tor and went to the heart of equatorial Africa, where he has long labored to bring health and com fort to the black natives afflicted ■with tropica! di sease. ^ •: ^ ^ Neither after that; that is for a while. j The South Carolinian comes to North Wilkesboro. So does her [ | former correspondent. But while they see each other occasionally. ' ■they do not know they formerly wrote each other many letters.' The South Carolina girl had tacked on a second name and her one-time correspondent had mar ried. That explains their failure j to recognize each other for a , whole year. i Thursday evening, I telephon-1 ed Miss Mary Ella McCredie, case j i worker for the relief administra-1 tion in Wilkes, and asked her if , she had ever corresponded with another girl by the name of j Mary. Her reply was, ‘‘Yes, I once corresponded with a girl by the name of Mary Donnelly at Trade. Tenn.’’ And the two girls by the same "given’’ name, who began writ ing several years ago, met last week. So after years of wonder ing what sort of person each oth er was. Miss McCredie and Mrs. Willard Cole became'acquainted. pose and it is our pledge to chronicle the news, furnishing facts, rather than to edi torialize and deal in generalities. With the primary campaign already well tinder way, we do not consider it amiss to de ls.^,*; dare emphatically that we do not intend to show any bias or prejudice toward any can- ^ate for office or any political party. We '. .pikrige durselves to ever keep in mind this policy of neutrality in the coming campaign.
