Should Rebuild Armory
One of the useful buildings destroyed
here by the flood was the national guard
armory and it must be replaced if we are
to keep a company of the National Guard
here.
Company A will be called up for a
year’s training on September 16 and prob
ably an armory will not be especially need
ed for a year but unless this nation goes to
war the guard will be back in a year and
unless we have an armory North Wilkes-
boro might lose the company to some of
the several towns which have been
clamoring for a unit for the past several
years.
We have noticed by the papers for the
past few years that other cities have ob
tained good armories through WPA pro
jects. We don’t know what the provisions
or the cost might be but it is worthy of the
immediate attention of officials and pub
lic spirited people here.
A company of the guard has been here
for a long time and it has become one of
the blessings which we took as a matter of
course without much thought as to its val
ue. A guard company is an asset to any
town and community and by all means
let us keep ours.

. Ronald Hocutt, Director of the North
Carolina Highway Safety Division, report
ed recently that 87 bicyclista were killed
and 215* were injured in this state last
year.
“The bicyclists were at fault in a ma
jority of these accidents,” Hocutt said. "A
person riding a bicycle is too often inclin
ed to feel that he has the right-of-way over
all other traffic and that drivers of motor
vehicles are supposed to look out for him.
“’This division urges upon bicyclists the
importance of giving proper hand signals,
riding on the right side o(f the street, keep
ing near the curb or shoulder, and es
pecially refrain from cutting across the
streets or highway unexpectedly. We, al
so, urge motorists to watch out for bicy
clists and be prepared for any unexpected
niove that they may make.”
Borrowed Comment
Land of Milk and Harmony
The fabulous lands of ancient times
were those that were mentioned as being
rich in milk and honey. Agriculture was
the one great source of wealth in those
days; talk of milk and honey emphasized
that fact.
Centuries later, it was America that set
the pace in creating inndustry—^the mak
ing of goods—as an even greater source of
wealth and human well-being.
Today, as a result, the Upited States is
rich both in agricultural produce and in
manufactured goods. And to begin with,
as far as farming goes, it is a land tremen
dously rich in milk, though honey isn’t as
important as it used to be. This country
produces about 50 billion quarts of milk a
year.
That’s a lot of milk. Much of it is pro
cessed to make cheese and various other
dairy products. In the process, vast quan
tities of “wa.".te” are left over.
At that point, industry has stepped into
the picture. In late years, research work
ers have found hundreds of ingenious
ways—we almost said “wheys”—of turn
ing this former waste into useful indus
trial products.
Plastics, fibres, paints, finishes, co.sme-
tics, films—the list of things made from
milk is rapidly approaching a point where
H can be called, “endless.” Two great oc
cupations in this country—agriculture and
industry—are becoming more interde
pendent each year, in this and many other
ways. Today 20 per cent of milk by-pro
ducts have a sales value; the future will
undoubtedly see this figure rise to new
highs for many years to come.
And to the extent that this economic in
terdependence increases and is appreciat
ed—^to the extent that the industrial scien
tist can find uses for excess farm products
isn’t it reasonable to assume that we’ll
be moving along towards the day when
this country can reason.ibly be called a
“land of milk and harmony?”
SPANISH IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
('The Kansas Wichita Beacon)
Next month the school children of the
nation will go back to their classrooms for
another year of education. If they read
the daily newspapers or study current
events they will know that one of the prin
cipal efforts of this country’s national gov
ernment will be in improving its commer
cial and cultural relations with Central
and South America.
The greatest single step the United
States could take in assuring better rela
tions with our neighbors to the south, not
only now but in the long years ahead,
would be the addition of Spanish in high
school and college courses of study as a
compulsory language subject, second only
to English.
The best way t6 get along with people
is to understand them, and the quickest
way to understand them is to learn their
language, their history and their customs.
An American nation speaking Spanish
enough to maintain social and business in
tercourse with all the other countries in
this hemisphere would give the United
States a greater advantage than all the
forced military labor that Hitler could ex
ert.
Germans have gained their strongest
foothold in South America nations by send
ing representatives there who become per
manent residents, learn the language, live

Claude Mlntoa seems to..>be first
to rebuild bla store and now has
it almost completed and ready

will anchor his hulldlng firmly
with cables which will at least
presehre the structure In case of

Claude does not seent at all dis
couraged and any one with his
perseverence and industry is
bound to succeed come what may.
We are'advised that > Triplett

While the Yadkin Valley looks
ragged and bad at present a few
months will make a .big change
In Its appearance. In making a
hurried survey of damages from
the county line to Wllkeeboro It
Is our Impression that aside from
losses In buildings and crops the
Yadkin Valley has been Improved
many thousands of dollars by rich
mud deposits on the land. Where
the hills come close Into the riv
er and the bottoms are narrow
the. damages from washing are
most pronounced. If the owners
of this land would plant this soil
in honey suckle and kudzu vine
and forget about it for ten years
there would be a far different
story told of the Yadkin Valley
in the future. The same Is true
of the various creek valleys. Cer
tainly the owners of this damaged
land will realize nothing from it
for many years to come, and per
haps never unless they stop crop-
.ping it, fence it and possibly it
might furnish some grazing later.
There has of course been quite
a loss in bridges to the county
but the bridges at Ferguson and
at Goshen could possibly be re
built for ?250 each since the
greater part of the material of
each ig close by and most of the
piers ."^re still intact. The people
especially at Ferguson are very
anxious that the Ferguson and
Elk Creek bridges be reconstruct
ed at once, as they are greatly
hand'-.epped. We are confident
that I'.e major part of the flood
damages in this historic valley
have come about mostly on ac
count of the mutilating hand of
man. If nature were only let a-
lone or at least given some as
sistance by man It is a great heal
er and preserver.

Whereas he and his family
have endeared themselves not
only to the members of their own
church but In a great way to all
our Baptist people and likewise
the religious folk of other denom
inations and especially hla breth
ren In the Ministry,
We therefore in assembled body
wish to express to him and his
family our sincere feelings In the
following resolutions:
1. We extend the gracious sen
timents of our hearts for the a-
blding Interest Brother Olive has
taken in the organization and
leadership of our Pastor’s con
ference. Through his efforts we
have been Informed and Inspired
to the end that we believe our
efforts in the Master’s name will
be more successful.
2. We express to Bro. Olive
and to Mrs. Olive our apprecia
tion for their counsel and lead
ership in the Brushy Mountain
Association, Through their ef
forts in cooperation with others
the annual sessions have taken
on a dignity appreciated by all
the brethren.
3. Brother Olive has also made
himself indispensible In many
other ways in our community and
the county. His interest and un
tiring efforts with the American
Red Cross have made ours one
of the leading chapters for small
towns in the entire country. His
work in Kiwaris Club and other
civic groups has been felt in a
large way since he came to our
community.
4. It is with deep regret that
we tender them this leave of ab
sence for the while and with the
fond hope that as they go to
what appears to be a bigger work
in the Master’s name our separa
tion will not be as those who
have indulged in vain and evil
works.

The Right To Vote
Strange as it may seem, it is reported
lat a gross misunderstanding exists in
(me parts of the country to the effect
lat if a Democrat casts a vote for a Re-
iblican candidate, the voter makes him-
ilf a Republican instead of a Democrat,
id vice versa, and thereby terminates
• alYiliation with his own party.
If tineh a mistaken idea exists, it is im-
)gt«st that voters be informed that they
dividual tends to be a well-behaved indivi
dual. A deeper suggestion was that the
ax'om can be applied to mental and phy-
chologic health as well as physical well
being.
One form of seeking health is by elimi
nating purely physical defects and organic
troubles Another ;is to recognize those
bodily ills that are not yet susceptible of
cure and to cultivate, in spite of them, cer
tain social attitudes that lead to construc
tive and harmonious action in spite of phy
sical handicaps.
History is full of beautiful and creative
minds that overcame the handicaps of
sickness; minds that denied and refuted
the inroads of age; minds that made of
physical pain and weakness a ladder to
higher achievements than those possible
to mere athletes.
Nevertheless, the ideal condition is to be
healthy in both respects and to cultivate
that health as a general condition among
the people. If the deliberations of the in
stitute led to improved method.s and view
points to reach this objective, they will
have accomplished more good for humani
ty than any conqueror.
