Thursday, March 6, 1947 y/MorScarome 'mss ASSOC IATIctT^ Junior Chamber Can Be Valuable A Junior Chamber of Commerce has been organized in North Wilkesboro and should rapidly go to a place of civic lead ership as Jaycees are maintaining in many other cities and towns. A Junior Chamber of Commerce calls for work. The Jaycees are called on to wear out the sole leather and use up the elbow grease for civic endeavor, and as such they have attained great success in Elkin, Winston-Salem, Charlotte, Greens boro and other cities in the state, as well as throughout the nation. There is a need for active Jaycees in North Wilkesboro and Wilkes county. There is so much to be done. The Jaycees would do well to enlist in their active membership about 100 young men from the Wilkesboros and other com munities who are not presently affiliated with other civic organizations. Only those between 21 and 36 years of age can be Jaycees. There are many young men who are ""iiot members of the present civic clubs who are public spirited and who wish to do something for the community. These should be enlisted for civic and commun ity service. Stores Raise Living Standards It takes a great war, with its unprece dented drain on our labor and resources, to reduce this country to an economy of scarcity. In normal times, the average American consumer enjoys the fruits of An economy of abundance. Retail stores present an accurate gauge of our unprecedented living standards. Every kind and character and quality of goods is found on their shelves. The needs of all tastes, all pocketbooks, have been anticipated and met. That is not true of any other country. Abroad, good stores are usually found only in the larger cities, and they are patronized most extensively by people of relatively large income. The person who lives in the village has small choice when he goes to market. Stores must be given credit for the pres ent scope and efficiency of American re tailing. They reach into the smaller cen ters of population, and offer consumers selections of goods comparable to those found in big cities. No matter where you Jive, regardless of the distance from the manufacturing areas, standard goods of known quality and value are immediate ly available. The retailer is the consumers' link with the vast American production machine. Without that link, the abundance made possible by mass production would be de nied to millions. The store, like the fac tory, directly affects the well-being of us all. Borrowed Comment PROOF * (Elkin Tribune) One would think that automobiles, which claim so fnany lives and do so much damage on highways that are dry and smooth, would have a field day when con ditions are such as they have been during recent days following last week's snow, sleet and ice storm. But instead of a bed lam of smashed fenders and fractured limbs, we have had reports of ftew wrecks of any serious nature that can be attribut ed to the bad condition of the roads and highways. It's not hard to figure out why, either. When streets are known to be slick and dangerous, all drivers handle their cars with great care. They drive slowly, and not only look out for themselves but for the other fellow. They know that an au tomobile, on ice or snow, can quickly get out of control and that there is little they can do about it when brakes won't work and the machine refuses to follow the di rections of its steering wheel. Here then, is proof that too many acci dents are caused by the driver behind the wheel who lets caution to the winds when streets are smooth and dry. Here is proof that careful driving, even under bad con ditions pays dividends, and that equal care, when conditions are good, would also pay dividends in a downward spiral of our accident statistics. % I Maybe it would be a good thing for the future welfare of thousands of us if our streets contained a layer of ice and snow all year around. It might be rather incon venient, but at least we wouldn't go a v round bashing in our cars and bashing out our brains?and those of the other fellow. All a man will get, that has his ear to the ground, will be a lot of dirt. s / o If you're going to drink like a fish drink what a fish drinks. ? THE EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Rev. Herbert . Spaugh, D. D. Many people stay in trouble because they refuse to move out of it. Some are unhappy in th'eir work, when a change, which they can make, will correct it. Oth ers are unhappy in their home life, when there is always something they can do about that. Still others are unhappy in their personal lives 'because they have never made peace with God. They can also correct that if they. desire to do it. Sometime ago, while visiting the lovely Cypress Garden^ in Florida near Lake Wales, the following inscription fastened to an old Cypress tree attracted my at tention : "And what do you expect, old Beard ed One, But gnarled and swollen joints? Any why complain, In soft whispers of your rheumatism, When every day is sun shine and in rain, You persist in standing in the water, And twisting your great toes in beds of fern? No wonder if you are grey and gnarled, Old One! But then I don't suppose you'll ever learn." While the authorship of these lines was not given, yet I must pay tribute to the writer and the thoughts which these lines suggest. That which used to be called rheumatism is pow called arthritis or some other modern name. One of the instruc tions invariably given to such sufferers is to avoid fear, and worry, to learn to re lax, to .avoid things which irritate and upset the emotional balance. How many people we meet who are fuming and Complaining about wrongs done to them by other people. Yet they do nothing about them but complain. They make no real effort to improve their situ ation. There is an interesting story in the life of Jesus concerning an. experience He and His disciples had with some very disagree able people. They were journeying down from Galilee into Judea and passed through Samaria. There was deep enmity between the Jews and the Samaritans, so when they reached a Samaritan village and attempted to spend the night there, permission was refused. The disciples be came furious, ahd asked Jesus to call down a fire from heaven to destroy these churlish people. Jesus calmly brushed their childish request aside, and simply led them to another friendly village. While a cypress tree can do little about moving out of the swamps, a man can usually move out of situations which throw him into emotional upheaval, make him unhappy and give him a host of ail ments. We will be happy only when we learn to live in the conscious daily presence of Almighty God, who saves, heals, streng thens, guides and directs. * abnormal AKMHTIES By D WIGHT NICHOLS et al EARLY SPRING FEVER?

A motorist in the South found a bridge over a stream washed away by a recent storm. A na tive sat whistling nearby. "How deep is this stream?" asked the motorist. "Dunno." "Think I can drive through it?" The emboldened motorist drove head on into the stream. His car promptly sank out of sight and he himself barely got out with his life. "What do you mean telling ? me I oould~ drive through, that . stream?" he cried furiously. "Must he ten feet deep." The native scratched his head. "Can't understand it," he ad mitted. "The water Is only up to THERE on the ducks." NOTICE SERVING SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION North Carolina, Wilkes County. In the Superior Court Johnson Sanders, Admr. of Wil liam H.
