PabUahera SUBSCRIPTION RATES: la the State .$1.00 per Tear Out of the State .-$1.60 per Tear Entered at the poat office at North Wilkes- At09. N. C.. as second class matter under Act V March 4, 1879. LIONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1934 Bob 'Warrca says that 20 years is a short time in the life of an idea. We’ve noticed that in the joke columns.—Dallas News. Some who were self-made men five years ago are having to do a lot of reconstruction work.— Arkansas Gazette. But it would seem that it should be easy to make an honest living—there’s so little compe tition.—Thomastcn (Ga.) Times. Infant Mortality Curent issue of the Health Bulletin, pub lished monthly by the North Carolina state bureau of health, shows that the number of infant deaths in North Carolina for the first six months of 1934 exceeded by 600 the figures for the corresponding period of 1933. For the first six months of 1933 there were 3,092 children in North Caro lina who died under one year of age. From January to July this year there were 3,693 infant deaths. Not being an authority on health, we are not going into a discussion of the myriads of causes for infant deaths and especially the increase, but we do pause to wonder why the death rate increased instead of decreased. Medical facilities are better this year than last and are im proving steadily all the time. Then it must have been the fault of fathers and mothers—and in many cases their poverty —which caused this increase. Commenting on the infant death rate, the Health Bulletin nuxkes this statement; “Three thousand six hundred and nine ty-three homes already made desolate this year. One of the causes: Three or four generations of undeserved poverty its resultant ignorance and misery. And yet the state of North Carolina contrib utes more per capita in cash revenue to the federal government than any other state in the union. Nearly twice as much as the great state of New \ork, almost four times as much as Massachusetts, three times as much as Illinois, much more than three times as much as Cali fornia, and more than four times as much as Michigan. Four times as much as Pennsylvania and more than four and one-half limes as much as Ohio. Every one of those states draw tribute through commerce from all the earth. Every one of them has personal and coi-porate wealth which fai- overshadows our cigarette and textile industries. But we pay for the fiddling, and we are paying it with our children’s blood.” Leadership Among Children The newly formed organization called the Students’ Activities Association in the North Wilkesboro high school should attract the interest of educators through out the county. It places on the shoulders of members of the student body the responsibility of managing the extra curricula activities, at all times under the supervision of school authorities and discipline. The main benefits derived from the plan will be the development of the chil dren in initiative, leadership and the ability to accept and carry responsibility. In addition to the above mentioned benefits the children will gain ti-aining in civics, dramatics, music, athletics, and other activities of their own choosing. They will organize clubs featuring various kinds of work and they will be free to ac cept any club for w'hich they have a lik ing They elect their own officers according to their own opinions. They select their leaders on the basis of leadership qualities that crop out in the home room and the entire school. On one person is conferred the honor and responsibility of being president of the student body. It has nothing to do with the much dis cussed system of student government and should not be confused with any thought of student self-discipline. We offer the suggestion—for whatever it may be worth—that other schools adopt this or a similar plan. Students who acquire leadership in high school will keep it through college, and after they get out "on their own” jm the school of life and experience. When you drive an automobile there are three definite factors to be considered if the utmost in safety is to be had—^the highway, the care and yourself. Of the three, the last is by far the most important to consider, but let’s first give the first two a passing thought. Last month in North Carolina there were 77 killed and 650 injured in automo bile accidents. These fatalities certainly could not be attributed to the highways since the roads are being made safer all the time. Automobiles are better equipped than ever before to promote safety. It is true that the speeding machines can swoop across the countiy faster than ever, but there are better brakes, better lights and better everything for the driver’s use. 'Thus, we consider the last and most im portant factor—the driver. He has the better roads and better automobiles. The safeguards that the government and the automobile manufacturers have placed around motoring cannot be sufficient to prevent fatalities if drivers are unreason able and are possessed of the speed bug and a determination to take a chance in getting a thrill or getting nowhere fast. If an automobile is made to be reason ably safe at a speed of fifty miles per hour on our modem highways, it means that many of us will drive sixty and seventy miles per hour just to take a chance and get a thrill. Just because our modern automobiles will make eighty miles an hour, it is not a mandate that we should drive that fast. How often we have heard some speed bug ask a car owner: “How much have you made in it?” Perhaps he will answer the he has “had it to sixty” or some such expression, and the other will assume a superior mein and tell how he has driven such-and-such a car at eighty. We venture to assert that most people who have ‘had their car to eighty” w'ere going nowhere in particular and would have lost nothing by driving at a reasonable rate. The Book the first line of which reads. “The Holy Bible," and which contains four great treasures. By BRUCE BARTON PAUL VISITS ATHENS Paul was a doughty fighter and he had good need to be. He andi Barnabas were now ready to start on another missionary jounmey and a long er one. But they had a quarrel. Paul would not go if Mark went along, and Barnabas would not leave Mark behind. And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed) asunder one from the other; and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus; And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God. Paul did not get on very well. He met a se ries of hindrances and changed his route sev eral times. At length he came to Troas, the site of ancient Troy, where he fell ill and saw in a vision a man of Macedonia, saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us. ’ Read carefully the next sentence (Acts 16:10): it is notable for its pronouns: And after he had seen the vision, imme diately we endeavored to go into Macedonia. Where do we get this we ? Who is it that comes into the narrative just at this point, under shel ter of this little word “we”? It is the physician- author, Doctor Luke. From here on the book of Acts is made up of two kinds of material, that which says “we” and that which says “he” or “they.” The “we” sec tions show the times when Luke was present; the rest of the story he got from others. And now the good news took on a new char acter. Paul had crossed into Europe and found a fresh field. He preached in Philippi, in Thessa- Inica, which is modem Salonica, in Berea, and even in proud Athens. That sophisticated city was the capital of the smart world. ‘ For the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing. Partly Out of curiosity, partly from genuine intellectual interest, the Athenians allowed Paul to make his way up to Mars Hill and there set forth this new religion of which he was the rep resentative. It was a keen test of his mental agility and he met it nobly. Ye men of Athens (he began), I perceive that in all things ye are very religious. (Noth ing in that to give offense). For as I passed by, and beheld your devo tions, 1 found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom there fore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. A magnificent flank attack. Sophisticated and cynical as’’they were, he had piqued their curi osity. They must hear about this unknown God or run the risk of missing some important “new thing.” so they stood quietly and allowed him to finish. TWAgMhiTi Charles C. Staley, resident of North Wilkesboro route 2, claims the championship for growing okra In these parts. He brought to ThH Journal- Patriot office Friday some okra pods 12 Inches In length.

County' Wilkesboro Drops First Grid Game Mocksville Gets Break and Blanks Wilkes Team By Score of 18 to 0 Mocksville ran rough shod ov er Wilkesboro on the former’s field to win a wild football game by an 18 to 0 score Friday. This was the first game for the Wilkesboro team and the boys were about evenly matched and played football on an almost even basis with the exception of the third quarter when Mocks ville received the ball on a kick off and ran about eighty yards for the first touchdown. This seemed to have a demor alizing effect on the Wilkesboro boys and for the remainder of the game they were ineffective. The next game for Wilkesboro will be against Lansing a t Lansing Friday afternoon. Wilkesboros Send Delegates 'To P.-T. A. District Meeting North Wilkesboro high schpot football team, light and inex perienced but fast and scrappy, lost a heart breaking game again Friday afternoon by a score of 7 to 6, this time against the far heavier team at Lenoir high. The teams see-sawed across the field for the first three quar ters with Lenoir holding the edge over the locals. In the third quarter Houck, big Lenoir fullback, drove 22 yards to the one yard line and the next play scored. Houck place kicked for the extra point which made the game a victory instead of a tie. Then the Mountain Lions went after their meat and, led by Hub bard, marcbqd 80 yards on a se ries of passes, and line plays to score. Hubbard charged around left end for 35 yards to cross the line but his pass to Linney for the extra point was broken up. Despite the fact that Lenoir had the heavier and better seaX soned team and made 16 first downs to North Wilkesboro’s three, the North Wilkesboro boys played with a grim determi nation and were invincible in their efforts to score in the last minutes of the game. Lucama Fanner Is Killed By Auto; Three Are Held The Parent-Teacher associations of the Wilkesboros were repre- resented at the district meeting held in Mount Airy Thursday.

Why Hospitals Use a Liquid Laxative Hospitals and doctors have always used liquid laxatives. And the public is fast returning to laxatives in liqiud form. Do you know the reasons? The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can thus be regulated to suit individual need. It forms no habit; yon need not take a "double dose” a day or two later. Nor will a mild liquid laxatwe irritede the kidnq/t. The right dose of a liquid laxative brings a more natural movement, and there is no discomfort at the time, or aft«. The wrong cathartic may often do more harm than good. A properly prepared liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin brings safe relief from constipation. It gently helps the average person’s bowels until nature restores them to regularity. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrop Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative which all druggists keep rwdy for use. It makes an ideal family laxa tive; effective for all ages, and may child. - ■■arkir-.a be given the youngest i fault of $1,000 bail each on charges of manslaughter. 13-PLATE STAIfDARD BATTERY - $3.9f AND OLD BATTERY You can w«n afford to have a new Battery placed in your car at this low price . . . then you will be ready for cold weather.
