Thursday, March 27, 1947' Gymnasium Movements Denote Progress At least three Wilkes schools are col lecting funds for erection of gymnasiums. Wilkesboro, largest of the county schools, has a good start toward a gym nasium fund of $12,000, and private do nations are being solicited to raise the fund. Ferguson and Roaring River schools have started gymnasium funds. It is generally agreed that the county must build a number of modern school buildings to house the schools. But the school building program is as large as the county can finance without building gymnasiums, which will have to be erected with funds other than tax mon ey.. For a well rounded program of educa tion gymnasiums are essential. Lack of physical education in schools has already caused inestimable damage in that boys and girls have grown up without physical training so necessary to their health and well being. >People of the communities where Gym nasiums We planned sAould give as lib erally as possible to assure that their chil dren will not be handicapped for lack of gymnasium facilities. ' It is also regrettable that Wilkesboro is the only county school with an athletic* field*, which is just as important as a gym nasium. Millers Creek has purchased land for an athletic field but much grad ing must be done before the land can be used. If any new, large schools are to be con structed, the county would do well to so locate them where land will be accessible for playgrounds and athletic fields. Cor ners have been cut so often that there are no more corners to cut. Stop Russia Now Americans most interested in preserv ing peace see in Russia's attitude a threat of World War III. And it is the opinion of the majority of foreign observers that Russia can be stopp now around conference tables and that a world catastrophe can be prevented. At almost every major point in world affairs Russia is offering objections. In dealing with Germany Russia is de manding reparations, or war damages. Russia will ask of the German people bil lions in war payments. America and Great Britain do not agree with Russia. We are now feeding millions of Germans, and that process will have to be continued until such time as Ger many can be self supporting. If the Ger mans have to pay to Russia a great part of what they produce, we shall have to continue feeding Germans. That would mean that we feed Germans to produce for Russia, and indirectly we would be paying Russia for German war damages. The proposal to aid Greece and Turkey Is one way of letting Russia know that we Intend to curb Russia's realm of conquest Through the communist organization, Rus sia apparently intends to infiltrate every major power. For decades it has been known that the aim of communism as fa thered by Russia is world-wide in scope. Russia's people are kept from the truth. Russian newspapers and radio are filled with propaganda inciting the Rus sian people with hatred toward the United States, the power which saved them from conquest Alwoys at War Have you ever thought what it would mean to be?always at War! What if all nature warred against you and never, never would there be peace! Do you know that this its true, right here in our own community? Many crippled children whose coordi nation is poor find themselves trying to reach an object at one place while their hands fly out in every direction except the one which would bring them into contact with the desired object They try to walk to a certain destination, but their feet fail to carry them directly to the goal. Fre quently ' several attempts must be made before they finally get there. Always they and nature are at variance. Often the only way they can ever know that all healing peace which we accept as our common birthright is through long and" tedious medical care with many ope rations. This care must be followed '* by exacting training by especially skilled therapists and teachers. We gave our services and money in war time that we might' haye peace. Can we do less now for those who through no fault of their own'can never know that peace without our aid? Again this year, we are urgently in need of your support in carrying out the program being conducted by the North Carolina League for Crippled Children. Other services needing to be added will be begun as soon as funds become avail able. The Easter Seal Campaign will re mind you that you can share in the joy of helping a crippled child to a better way of life. ? Hundreds of business firms throughout North Carolina have for years made it a practice to use Easter Seals on their mail. This of course helps the League remind others of the needs of crippled children, what is being done to meet these needs, and what still n^eds to be done before these needs are met. Other business firms have joined the League's "Share of Hap piness" Club. T 14 F EVERYDAY ClffSELDR By Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. Why learn everything the hard way, when there is an easier one. Many say that the school of hard knocks is the best, but it is certainly the most expensive. The earlier a man learns that the better. The sooner he learns that this world and his personal affairs are governed by divine law, the fewer hard knocks he is going to have. The rising rate of juvenile delinquency is an indication of the increasing ignor ance among our young people of those fun damental laws of God which must be recognized. The law of cause and effect is just as certain as the law of gravity. The Bible puts it, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." There is the law of right and wrong. It is summed up in the Ten Commandments. Men do not suc cessfully break the Ten Commandments; instead they are broken by them. There is a law of property right included in the Ten Commandments?the law against theft, adultery, murder. When we .take that which belongs to others, we inevit ably suffer. v Fortunate is the boy or girl who learns early in life how to find God's will for his daily life through prayer. God has a plan for his life, just as He has a plan by which the earth rotates on its axis, producing day and night. The boy or girl who starts out in life trying to follow his own desires without regarding the law of God and the rights of others, soon finds himself in trouble, sometimes serious trouble. We can't live successfully without God. God has made it possible for us to learn His plan for living?and His plan for dy ing. He gave us the Bible and the Church to teach us. Yet an increasing number treat religion as a kind of optional luxury. They are "too busy" to do any Bible study, "too tired" to go to church and take their children to Sunday School. Yet the day inevitably comes when they will need those things which the Bible and the Church teach. They will run afoul of the police. They vill nee^ character reference for employment or a character witness in court. Then they call on the Church and the minister whose services they have treated so carelessly in the past. I have seen it happen time after time. ABNORMAL ABSURDITIES EL. By DWIGHT NICHOLS ?fc al GUEST COLUMN? One of our 12 1-2 readers cane to our rescue this week with the following yarn which he said he could vouch for as being 20 per cent truth with possible exception of names and places: A SENSATIONAL MDB? Dear Mr. Nichols: Here is one for your column. v Not too many days ago Rom McClure and two or three associ ates were busily engaged In con ferences around business and fi nancial centers on West Down ing?having a very successful time. Finally they decided that the glitter of gpld (or rather brass buttons) was not good for the eyes, and that they would go and yet some eye-water. Not being too sure of their di rections nor intentions, they parked at the airfield. All got out except Rom, who was feel ing a little indisposed. After a while one of the fellows stuck his head in the car and said; Rom do you want to go up? Rom replied somewhat excited ly; hell yes! What ? are you wait nig for? We ought to have been gone a long time ago?thinking he meant, go where they had started to go. Rom got out of the car and with some little diffi culty with his steering gear, he fnially reached the plane as it was almost ready to take off, and without any questions he climbed in, evidently thinking he was getting in another car (or their own car). After they had been in the air for some time, the plane began to pull some stunts that shook Rom up a little, whereupon he demanded in no uncertain tone, that the driver stop that car just where it was, and he would get out and walk. His partner in formed him that he was in an airplane and was in mid-air and going higher. Holy smoke! exclaimed Rom. What good have I ever done, thAt >1 am being taken Up alive? Wonder if St. Peter will let me in? Maybe he will, being mama ain't along. ] Soon the plane was landing. Rom looked oat and saw people walking aronnd. He became a lit tle frantic and seeing an aged mountaineer with long white beard, who had come down to see his first airplane at close range. Rom walked briskly up to the old gentleman, extended his hand and said, how do yon do uncle Noah? It has been some little time since I have been see in' you. The aged man replied, son I think you are mistaken. I am I. N. Payne. Rom replied, you may be In pain, but I feel like I could walk in the air, if it were not for that smoke. Say, by the way, where is Uncle Peter? I must see him shore. The man from the mountains pointed ont a man dressed in a .blue snit with brass buttons. Rom looked at him long and hard, then said; I'll bedarned if I don't believe it's all a mistake. I believe I hare gone to wrong place. PARKS JONrtfcf New London.
