The club has well jus tified its existence since 1923 by the many civic projects it has carried to successful completion and by the combination of in fluence of men banded together for civic betterment. Cripple Clinic Today a cripple clinic was in progress at the Wilkes hospital. A better under standing of such work can be gained by seeing the work done in orthopedic hos pitals. Lame are made to walk, hairlips is corrected, and many other deformities which handicapped children from birth are removed. The people of the county, and especially those who know of some of the work done, should appreciate what the health department and the Kiwanis club as sponsor is doing in making crip ple clinics available here. Improving Soil The county farm agent reports that many farmers are taking advantage of the opportunity this year to lime their land. Agricultural authorities tell us that much of the soil in this section is acid and lime is essential if grass and legumes are to be grown effectively. Wilkes Needs Phamplet On Saturday the attendants who will look after North Carolina’s exhibit at the New York World’s Fair will be in North Wilkesboro for 15 minutes for the pur pose of gathering information which may be given out in New York to people inter ested in North Carolina, and particularly this section. The people wh,o will meet the World’s Fair delegation will be handicapped by the lack of proper descriptive literature describing North Wilkesboro and Wilkes county. In 15 minutes not a great deal can’be told about the city and county and be cause of the limited time and the fact that the fair attendants will need the informa tion in concrete form, a good phamplet on North Wilkesboro and Wilke.s would be of much value. Many other cities and countie.s have al ready had printed descriptive literature which they give out freely to visitors and persons interested. In order that we may not get behind, we .should look after the matter as early as possible. In this line is where the advertising fund authorized by a local act of the gen eral assembly can be of much help, but it may be some time before the funds are appropriated and some good time is going to be lost. We have many advantages to advertise and in the matter .of advertising and reap ing the benefits from tourists’ trade the early bird is going to get the worm, fig uratively speaking. We are especially in need of an adver- •'tifling campaign for the city and county. Factors which will make it more worth while HKlade our proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway, which will be so easily iLAceeMible from the east and south --through this city over three good high- ; And we especially need to advertise - lutiiral advantages for location of indus- ' tries here. In this matter we should heed ^ the 3fl>lfeal a^d^» placing a 4%|it tmder a bnriteL At conunencemeht time those few from the^inany wRo entered Hie first grade a- bout eleven yats ago. are to be congratu lated. The event will rignify that the children themselves and their parents had mutual interest in education and prepar ation for bt'tter living. But let us hope that among the number will be few or none who will look upon the diploma as a pass toward success, magic paper whfch will enable them accomplish without effort. Every since man was commanded to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow work has been the essential element in success and the only sure way of earning food for sustenance and shelter for pro tection. No diploma has ever been printed which in itself will sweep aside the com mand so straightly given about eating. There is not enough magic in any piece of paper to get around the fact that work is necessary. However, a diploma from high school or college should represent the fact that the holder has done certain work which should enable him or her to accomplish more and better work and thus prove higher efficiency. But even the diploma will fail in that respect unless it is followed up by con structive effort. The value of a life must be determined by the amount of service rendered to hu manity. Regardless of how much cf this world’s goods may be accumulated, the value o fthe life will be determined by the yardstick of service, which is of first importance. Those boys and girls who are soon to leave the high school room with diplomas should, if possible, continue their educa tion. But if for sufficient reasons, not ex cuses, some of them find it is not practi cal to enter college they should try to use the knowledge and training already achieved to the greatest advantage, al ways keeping in mind that their life ulti mately will be success or failure, depend ing upon service rendered to humanity. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CH^JILES E. DUNN Ptcul Establishes Churches Lesson for April 16: Acts 14. Golden Text: 1st Gorins. 3:10. After his 0onversion St. Paul confined his energies for seventeen years to a lim ited area, laboring for three years in Da mascus, and then for fourteen years in Tarsus, his birthplace, and in Antioch of Syria, Wiiere the disciples were first called Christians. But about the year 48 A. D. he enlarged the scope of his activities by embarking on long missionarj'^ journeys as the Apos tle of the Gentiles. At first, accompanied by Barnabas and Mark, and later by ot'- er colleagues, he visited Asia Minor, Mac edonia and Greece, establishing a Christ ian church in each important center. Our lesson chapter tells of hLs experiences at Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe. How did Paul organize these churches? A superficial reading of the book of the Acts gives the impression that Christian ity sprang up as a great public movement n the cities visited by the apostle. But closer study makes it clear that Paul ac- cjomplished more through quiet hand-to- hand contacts than through his sensation al sermons. He Made a great stir wherever he went, and provoked bitter opposition from the “Judaizers” who insisted, much to the apostle’s dismay, that the newly convert ed Gentiles must eat only kosher meat and submit to the rite of circumcision. The result was sharp controversy which more than once took the form of rioting and violence. But Paul won his converts in the main not by his colorful public ap pearances, but by direct personal influ ence. Starting very likely with those of his own trade of tent-making, with whom he labored for his daily bread, he told them his gospel one by one until he had gath ered about him a small circle out of which grew a church. In these days of miraculous technical achievement, when a message can be tr^ijismitted to the whole world simultane ously with its delivery, we need to remem ber that it is still true, as it was in Paul’h day, Hiat the church is. made to fundamentally hy peraonal work. There is no substitute for the face-to-face to :h. lUrt. 8. I. nfttlsr api^atiMiits at GosliB' aH White Platah Sa&4s7-‘ Rot.

Greer and Mr. Wal ter Carlton were visitors to Boone and Heaton, Monday, looking after business matters. This community was shocked and deeply saddened last week when Mr. Cecil Pennell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Pennell, died at his home of pneumonia. Cecil was a fine young man of 19 years and had a wide circle of friends who are left to mourn their loss. He was a good boy and loved by all who knew him. His life, though so brief, has made an impression on many that will linger as the years go by. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the stricken father and mother and the two children that survive. May the great comforter sustain them all and may they all meet where people don’t die.—(A true friend to the family). Death of Mrs. Bessie Frazier Mrs. B. C. Frazier, wife of the late F. A.
