Monday, Nov. 17, 1947 Congratulations to The Working Clubs During the past several days the Home Demonstration Clubs and the 4-H clubs of Wilkes county held their annual Achievement day. These clubs are perhaps the most valuable among social organizations. They are working clubs. Their members produce the food for the sustenance of our populace and the starving peoples of the world. It is to the credit of Wilkes county that the Home Demonstration clubs and the 4-H clubs are well organized and are functioning well in all leading communities in the county. The farm and home agents are due much credit for their fine leadership in this work. The Home Demonstration clubs are filled with home makers, and the nation can be no stronger than its homes. The type of homes in America is in direct relation to the strength of the nation. The 4-H clubs are made up of the boys and girls who will replace their fathers and mothers in home making in the near future. The program is designed to assure progress. There remain the old fogies whose philosophy is "What was good enough for me is good enough for my children." A child born to such a parent has a handicap which is hard to overcome. Had this been the philosophy of all in the past century there would have been no progress. It is gratifying to note that the Home Demonstration club program and the 4-H* work has splendid cooperation in this county from business and professional people. Valuable assistance is given and the work is going forward in a most progressive manner. o Timber And The Chamber of Commerce The Wilkes Chamber of Commerce will again sponsor th^ timber thinning contest for the boys of Wilkes county. There is a direct relation between timber resources and business in Wilkes county. During the past few years millions of dollars have been paid for lumber and wood from the forests of Wilkes county. But the forest resources of Wilkes county have been depleted much more rapidly than timber has been growing. The Chamber of Commerce is wise in trying to encourage boys in timber growing and in proper timber management. Continued income from lumber and wood will be a big item in the business life of Wilkes county and it is to the advantage of everybody to aid and assist in programs for conservation and development of timber resources. The way forests have been destroyed by timber cutting methods in the past ten years has been nothing short of disastrous. When properly cut a forest will produce a harvest of timber at intervals of a few years. But one timber cutting can destroy a forest for 50 years or for all time. This is not a far-away subject that concerns us little. It comes home to every individual in the county and the effects of depleted timber resources will'be reflected in the cash register of every business in. the county. j . _ A Borrowed Comment . ACADEMIC FREEDOM (Twin City Sentinel) Speaking the other day at Fisk Uni versity on "The Next 10 Years in Southern Education," Chancellor W. C. Jackson of Woman's College of the University of North Carolina pointed to several phases of higher education which demand attention if progress in the right direction is to be attained during the next decade. He voiced the conviction that the South must go forward with its task with the assumption that education is a regional responsibility; urged advancement of the program of developing the natural resources of the region through education; approved continued efforts to secure Federal aid to education, and to strengthen by other means the profession of teaching. • • • ' x But Chancellor Jackson placed much emphasis upon,j;he idea that the complete freedom of teaching, and academic liberty in our colleges, universities and school systems must be maintained if education is to serve its true aims and best serve the South and the nation. This point is well taken. Our occupation authorities in Germany are finding out now just what it meant to the youth of that nation when academic freedom was destroyed in that country'by the Nazi government—when great German universities were forced to pervert the teaching of history, sociology, philosophy, and other subjects to fit the fantastic racial and Fascist doctrines of Hitler and Rosen* berg, and secondary schools were forced to develop young Nazis. Sound education can function only in the atmosphere of complete freedom wherein teachers and students are unrestrained in their quest, not for data which may be twisted to support some outlandish political theory, but for the simple, unadorned and impartial truth. That is why it is so essential that true American democrats and liberals should resist to the death any attempt to throttle academic freedom in our schools, colleges and universities. A social order which cannot function in the light of truth has nothing to give man but the burdens of tyranny. It deserves to perish. o • LIFE'S BETTER WAY© WALTER E. ISENHOUR High Point, N. C., Route 4 ' —* J DOING GOOD It should-be the sincere desire of all men to do good and not harm. We are told that Jesus went about doing good, and He set an example in this, as in all respects, that we should follow. The world needs good men whose great desire is to do good. Amen. It is true we cannot become a Christian by merely doing good, neither can we enter heaven thereby, as all men must be born again and take Christ as our Savior along life's pathway before we are fit subjects for heaven; but we cannot be true followers of Jesus without doing good. We should do much good in our homes. Our loved ones should know us as the followers of Christ by our deep devotion to Him and by what, we say and so, and by the examples we set. There is>no better place on earth to do good than in the home. Perhaps the main reason for the awful wicked condition of the world to-, day is because the greater part of the, homes of the world are sinful. Sinful homes make sinful communities, and sinful communities make sinful nations, and sinful nations make a sinful world. We should go about doing good in our communities. Our friends and neighbors should be greatly and tremendously influenced for God by our godliness and holiness, and by our conversation, deeds, acts and general deportment. This not only enables us to keep in the footprints of Jesus, but it leads others to become His followers, and likewise helps those who •re following Him. We are to do good, especially unto those who are of the household of faith. Then as we do good • unto God's dear children, and help them on in life, we naturally will help sinners find God as their Redeemer. All godly people go about doing good. We don't find them out cheating and defrauding* committing adultry, mixing and* mingling with the drunken, not partaking of the evil, sinful things of the world. They show to the world that they have beenj with Christ by their daily conduct, and by blessing all with whom they deal, and with whom they associate. How wonder-, ful it is to go about doing good! This makes us happy and helps to make others happy. We are never ashamed to do good, neither are we. afraid of our record. What pleases God is not to be ashamed of. ABNORMAL ABSURDITIES By DWIGHT NICHOLS et al ' PEOPLE ABE FUNNY— It is strange how people can get so "het u>" about a football game. Last week we retrained from comment about the Wllkesboro-North Wllkesboro game, and didn't even try to pick the winner, either In the paper or out. But various and sundry reports had us favoring both teams by a big margin, when as a matter of fact, we didn't say anything either way. ' It hap long been a mystery why people can't grow up and take an interesting sports event like it should be taken. Boys on both teams, of course, were determined to win, and justly so. But the adults are the ones who go ''haywire" over such a contest. This was written before the ( game, and of course we can't i 4a11 «1 lt.i- r 11 A 4 i n I vv/«a wv buia time « "v ww win, because In our observation we have never seen anything less certain than the outcome of a high school football contest. A game is often decided by the crazy manner in which a loose football bounds around on the field. It can bound one way or the other, and nobody knows which way it is going until it goes. The same can be said about predicting a high school game. A punt can bound around near the goal line and settle down inches inside the playing field, or it can topple into the end zone. Any football player will tell you that can make a big difference in the iuture course of the game. f Sports followers have a right to expect a team to win, but should always be prepared to take victory or defeat in a sensible manner. Defeat is hard to swallow, and sometimes victory is just as difficult to handle properly. But except in case of tie, there is always a winner and a loser. Let us always be prepared to be a good winner or a good loser, whichever becomes our lot. o Support Y. M. C. A Children's Shoes and slippers, hundreds of pairs to select from.
