( I Visiting Singers A large number of Brunswick county people enjoyed the concert presented here ! Friday night by boys and girls from KenK nedy Home, eastern division of the Bap- 1 I tist orphanage. There is a two-fold benefit to be deriv- '' ed from a visit of this kind. First, of course, is the enjoyment which results 1 K, from a well-rendered program of sacred 1 music. Something deep within us is stirred ^ lj; by a chorus of children's voices raised in ' B songs of thanksgiving and praise for * their Master. There is the invitation and s H challenge of members of our own group ' to strive to emulate their success. More important, though, is the fact * that our people remember their contact " witft members of the orphan group. No * longer are the motherless and fatherless 1 girls and boys of Kennedy Home imperBH 0/-VT-* rt 1 lift 1 r* woifp -Prvv? lirli Am Ann vnnni- /vf I S OVliai IHUt T?UliO -IVI 7* 11V1U U11C IlJUOv U1 necessity feel an ioto of pity. Now, in- 1 deed, have they come into the full statue ( of a person, and we are not want to for- J get the needs of our fellows in whom we 1 have a personal interest. ^ Attendance Important If the parents of Brunswick county 1 school children can be made to realize the importance of regular attendance 1 during the first month there is a good possibility that at least three of the schools will secure additional members of the faculty. The allotment ox teachers is based 1 upon the average number of students at- ( tending school per day throughout the , previous year. However, if at the end of the first school month it appears that ] there has been a considerable increase in , the number of students in a given school it is possible to secure another teacher, \ provided the average daily attendance for the first month of school justifies the . allotment of another instructor. 1 The only way that a fair record for , this purpose may be obtained is to have every child of school age in attendance ' every day during the first school month. 1 ! The co-operation of parents in this matter i may prevent over-crowded conditions J that surely will work against the best in- : terest of their children. 1 i I Congratulations 1 Last week we carried a partial list of 1 the Brunswick county boys and girls who ' had left home for the various colleges of J; the state. Today we add to that list, and \ < i possibly there will be others to go. 1 We are proud of this large number of < f ft r; . 9 * XA I , THE 5 boys and girls who have fared forth in quest of higher learning. They are to be commended for their ideals, and since many of them have gained th?ir opportunity in the face of difficulty, we commend them, too, upon their determination. But back of almost everyone of these boys and girls are parents who have worked and schemed and sacrificed that this opportunity be made possible. In the hurry and excitement that attends departure the cause of the parent often is crowded out of the picture, but to the college girl or boy for whom the sacrifice really was worthwhile there will come a time when the full light of love and appreciation swill burst bright upon his consciousness. , Radio Hints The following rules of radio etiquet probably will not apply to you, but read them?they may hit your neighbor: Keep your radio in low?always. Don't expect' to hear it all over the house, or over the lawnmower. Consider tne neighbors?and the hour. Two radios are better than cue?if they are far enough apart. Selectivity of programs gets the best aut of the radio. Maybe your guests don't like radio? ask them. Don't let conversation and radio compete?turn one off. Don't monopolize the radio?give the athers a chance. Don't criticize the taste of others?the radio is aimed at all. Don't forget there are times when the radio is best silent. Your Fire Bill You, the reader of this article, possess the key to fire prevention. You possess :he power to help reduce the nation's fire loss, which now totals about a quar^v-P ? VvJlonnnollv f n on inaJopnifi. ?CI Ui a uiuiuii auuuuiij , vv uii ixutgttiAi cant sum. And you can help save the ten thousand persons who now die horribly each year from fire. By the same token, it is you who must pay the bill for our collective national carelessness with fire and its hazards. And it is you who suffer when fire strikes. Many of us mistakenly think that fire prevention involves the purchase of expensive and complicated equipment, ,;lus in involved system of inspections by highpriced experts. That is true only in a minority of cases. A very large proportion of all fires occur in homes and on 'arms?and in these cases adequate fire prevention usually requires little expenditure of either time or money. Improperly stored inflammable liquids, uncared-for seating plants, amateur electric work, iccumulated debris of various kinds in attics, basements, closets and out-buildings ?these are major sources of fire. And hese grave hazards can be done away vith quickly and for little or nothing. Next time you read of a fire, large or imall, think of its cost as being partially paid by you. You pay it in decreased pur ihasing power, in community retrogres ( ;ion, in lost jobs, in higher insurance ates. Think of the thousands of such 'ires that constitute America's gigantic md inexcusable total waste. Then answer his question: "Is the little effort that would make my property safe, worth while?" Not True (News & Observer) Anybody has a right to bring a lawsuit. Any fanner has a perfect right to contribute to the lawyers' fees and other costs of the proposed court action to restrain collection of the penalty tax on tobacco marketed without AAA allotment cards. Buu the statement made at the meeting i)f anti-crop control farmers in Raleigh last week that only those who contribute their money to pay the fees of lawyers und the costs of the court action would be aula to sell their tobacco without paying the tax, if the suit were won, simply is not so. If the law stands or falls, all growers will be treated alike. If the penalty is illegal it is illegal for all. If it is not illegal is is legal for all. And whether farmers favor control or oppose it, they may be sure that their position wili not depend upon whether they help pay lawyers' fees to bring a suit or do not help to pay them. Those who oppose control have every right to appeal for the support of others who oppose it. But in making such appeal they go a trifle far in suggesting that only those who contributed to their cause have any chance in sharing in the results of their action, if any. . ] .
