When those of our boy » return horn* from France, Who mined death in the war's awful toll. Blind and maimed and crippled for life Hut ennobled in iipirit and iioul. And they (rather with friend* and the dear on« at home. By the tired, or on summer'* Ions day* And tell of the times they went "over the top" In the early morn'* twilight haze; Should they ask you, what you were doing the while In the world'* greatest war to help win it Be sure you can look them right square in the eye And truthfully aay "I wa* in it." j ■ The above poem ha* been clipped from some paper and handed to us and brings home the question very clearly "are we each one doing our part'" Twin-Born and Twin-Grown. The area* of tight-fisted religion and tight-fated citizenship have been accurated mapped up bjr the North Carolina Club at the University, and these maps art extremely significant. So, becau.se they show plainer than a pike-staff that the area* of tight fisted religion are also the areas of tight-fisted citizenship. They are areas of poor schools shab by school houses, high illiteracy rates, poor roads, and half-starved country editors. They are areas of opposition to taxation for any purpose whatso ever. They are areas of civic stagnation as well as church stagnation. Tight fisted religion and tight-fisted citizen ship go together. They are born twins and boon companions. The man that tightens his grip on his purse when his church appeals to him ia dead sure to oppose taxes for public schools, public roads, or any other public enterprise. The man who will not support his church liberally cannot be counted on to support any thing that costs him evea a few cents extra. And it's true the other way around. When people line up against taxes for better public schools they usually convince themselves that they are too poor to give anything for better schurch schools. The less willing people are to give to any good cause the less willing they are to give to every good cause. On the other hand, the more they give to any one good cause the more willing they are to give every good cause. Nothing looaetla the skin of hide bound souls like giving—giving for any unselfish purpose whatsoever. LOST—Near the bark shed in Mount Airy, draft registration card be longing to Rarly Jones.
