THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1937 THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN PACE FIVE Mrs. Bost Speaks To Meeting Of Orphanage Officials r RALEIGH, June 23. Speaking in Raleigh recently before a meeting of orphanage officials o,f North Carolina, Airs. W. T. Bost, com missioner of the state board of charities and public welfare, assert ed that, "if we could have but one generation of properly born, train ed, educated and healthy children, a thousand other problems of gov ernment "would vanish." "We would assure ourselves of healthier minds in more vigorous bodies," Mrs. Bost continued, "to direct the energies of our nation to yet greater heights of achievement. "Perhaps, through the social se curity program, we arc even now on the road to that goal. Certainly we must center our endeavor more than ever aroiind the needs of the child, and .make him in truth the cornerstone of society. We must give him the chance from birth, and even beyond, to be a better-born child, and to help him throughout the period of happy childhood. "Social security legislation is to day very definitely in the fore ground," Mrs. Bosf said. ... "But anyone is mistaken in thinking that everything necessary is already be ing done by the government or in stitutions. Government alone cannot do the job. Thevsocial security act providing . . . aid to dependent children . . . ,is not intended to re place money now being expended by states, local communities, or agencies supported largely by pri vate gifts, ... "Children's institutions and child caring agencies state, county, mun icipal and private are expected to continue to carry the load they now have and to meet those new demands which each day brings, and citizens are expected to con tinue the support of these agencies through voluntary (Contributions or state and local taxes. "The social security act, in pro viding aid tb dependent .children, gives evidence of long-range plan ning for the future. It stands out as the greatest opportunity for constructive work with children that has ever been available to the nation." 4-H Members Offered Trips and Scholarships .

These All Combine to Give You Extra Values at No Extra Cost FrOM theday of its introduction, the Firestone Standard Tire has more than lived up to its name by setting a new high standard of tire values. Hundreds of thousands of car owners have already bought it because they saw in it more value for their money. "How does Firestone do it? How can they build so many extra value features into Firestone Standard Tires and yet sell them at such low prices?" The answer is simple Firestone controls better -quality rubber and cotton supplies at their source, keeps manufacturing costs low by efficient factory methods and sells in such huge volume that distribution costs are held to a minimum. That is why Firestone has been able to give you such extra value features as Gum Dipping, two extra layers of Gum Dipped cords under the tread and eight extra pounds of rubber to every 100 pounds of cord, at no extra cost to you. Make no mistake about this! The Firestone Standard Tire gives you the blowout protection of Firestone's patented Gum-Dipping process. Its scientifically designed tread gives greater non-skid protection and longer wear. And those two extra layers of Gum-Dipped cords under the tread guard against punctures. Before you buy ANY tire at ANY price, see today's top tire value the Firestone Standard Tire. Don't risk your life with thin, wont tires on your Fourth of July trip.
