THURSDAY, AUG. 31, 1939 Don’t Kill Children Schools opened in Wilkes county Mon day and at certain times of the day parts of the highways of the county are lined with children going to and from school. The children have a perfect right to walk along the highway. It is true that they are supposed to walk on the left side and off the pavement but they are impul sive little folks and at any time one of them may dash in front of your automo bile. Please drive carefully and in such man ner that you can stop should one of them run into your car’s path. It is true that they should not run into the way of your car but the fact that one gets out of its place does not mean that it is a bad child. If your memory is good you can remem ber when you were a “little chap” and liked to run and play. If impulse caused you to run acrosf the street or highway you dia not take time to be careful. That was because your mind had not advanced to the stage where caution was incorpor ated. Today you know better than to cross without first seeing that the road is clear and that there is no immediate dan ger. Perhaps you knew better when you were a child but in the excitement of play you no doubt did many things which were not e.xactly right and prudent. All children will make little mistakes and it is he duty of grownups who know better to look after them. Children are oar biggest asset. The most valuable thing on earth you can in vest in i children. They will take our places ' Ueday or make better or worse places themselves. Upon them rests the ^ : of progress and civilization. The .1 e too valuable to risk in order to gain a seconds time on the highway. The si>rns which highway authorities have placed in school zones tell the driver that children are near. Everyone of the little lovable souls is precious to some father and mother. Parnu.-. can better understand the plea for d i\' -i to use caution when children are on ■ a- road. ■y lias been told of the man who aie from his office.

He was told that Juni r had went across the block to flag h's o d and ride a few hundred yards with him. ’.o the house and that some hit- and-run d river ran over him. The st'uy ends here to let the reader use his own imagination about the feeling and the future life of that father. When you see children on the street or highw’ay ,'ust remind yourself that one of them couiil be yours or some child dear to you. Thanksgiving Date We believe that Governor Hoey follow ed the w'ill of a great majority of the peo ple of North Carolina in deciding to pro claim Thank.sgiving Day for the last TTiursday in November instead of a week earlier as President Roosevelt indicated he might do nationally. No one has any particular quarrel with the president for wanting to move the holiday up one week but t!he people should have had at least a year notice. Too many things are planned months and even years in advance for Thanksgiv ing Day with the idea prevailing that Thanksgiving is always the last Thursday in November. Football schedules, hunting seasons, or- ph8H&fir6 conilributionB and sp6cial evente au-c planned far in advance for the holi day season centered around the last Thurs day in November. It now appears that governors of a ma jority of the states will proclaim Novem ber 30 Thanksgiving Day regardless of President Roosevelt’s proclamation. The important thdng about it all is that America has so much to be thankful for that the occasion should be appropriately observed. As one radio commentator said, we have so much to be thankful for that we ought to have a week for Thanksgiv ing. Thanksgiving in early history of this country was not regularly observed on any set annual date and it was not until Presi dent Lincoln’s administration that a date was definitely set. Each president since that time has set aside the last Thursday in November as a day for giving thanks. There is nothing specifically wrong in moving up the date a week except that it throws people into controversy about one of the really great occasions of our calen dar year. Mortal Fools Today the European nations stand on the brink of disaster and other nations of the world cannot help but wonder if they will not find it necessary to join in de struction. The history of the world has been one of cycles of peace and of war. Indicatlions now point to a cycle of war with all its accompanying evils. Since Cain killed his brother men have been striving against each other and the result has always been retrogressive. Civilization has made great strides since the last big war ended 21 years ago. The imagination of men is not strong enough to forsee the result of another disastrous con flict. During the pa.st two decades .ocieure h made wonderful progress in and perfecting means for peop!.'? to !;-t ’ greater comfort and satisfaction. Men have learned how to produce in abun dance in order to supply the necessities and luxuries of living. They have dis covered many means of combatting dis ease and pestilence. They have dLscover- ed means of prolonging life. But in the meantime they have learned how to build more powerful instruments and elements of destruction to be used in war. War is no longer a conflict between armed .soldiers. Now it places nation against nation. The innocent, civilians, women, children, aged and infirm suffer along with the armed forces. The instruments of destruction are so great that there is no safe place in a na tion being invaded. If Sherman’s defi nition of war was correct over 70 years ago, no words could describe the horror of war today. When destruction remains the way of settling disputes, then men have nothing to brag about in the way of progress and have not progressed beyond the barbarian state. hteresting Hems Summit Vidnib pr . - Henderson and Ji Ime (formerly the Southv Mr. and Mrs. C.

C. 35v 3for^ Religious Liberties In celebrating its Tercentenary this year, Newport, R. I., commemorates the completion of three centuries of religious freedom—marking the date when stout hearted followers of Roger Williams seek ing the right to worship as they pleased ■settled in Rhode Island and founded the c ty of Newport. As part of the celebration, a special ceremony was recentlj'^ held in which a de- .scendant of George Washington read again the clas.sic address on religious and civil liberty delivered by h's illustrious forefather at Newport in 1790. “All citizens posses alike liberty of con science and immunities of citizenship,” said the first President on that occasion. “It is now no more that toleration is spok en of as it was by the indulgence of one cla.ss of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States which gi^es to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citi zens. . . The spirit of these utterances has guid ed us for 150 years and has been one of the basic principles of our national life. For a century and half we have maintain ed a free life here based upon a system of free enterprise, political freedom and re ligious and civil liberty. As long as we maintain in the United States a free eco nomic and political system, we need not fear the loss of the third freedom—religi ous and civil liberty. We need not fear the encroachments and effects of the European “isms” which preach hatred and intolerance of one class for another, one race against another. POOR JAPAN (Gastonia Gazette) Japan’s plea that she is the world’s red headed-step-child and the Little-Orphan- Annie of modem civilization, intrigues us. We find ourselves unable to shed a tear over the statement made recently by a Ja panese official: “We are a young nation in a moieri sense, but a very old people, as a race. We want to become a great nation, honored in the world. We feel that we can accoin plish this and that; on fair a.'id equal terms we can compete succes-sful with the other great nations of the world. We feel that, in the past, we have not been treated fairly, and now we are out to win our rightful place.” Von’ve been there a long time, old bw,, to St. Louis, Missouri.
