A WORD TO OUR GRADUATES One of the major stepping stones of life is one’s gradua tion from high school. To some, it means marching on to institu tions of higher learning, but to many it is the entry into their life work. To all. The Pilot wishes all possible success. Probably at no stage of his tory have graduates been faced with the problems confronting the future citizens of the coun try, the guardians of its heri tages, as lie before them todaj% Domestically, they face a coun* try bearing the greatest debt burden in its existence, and one of the greatest unemployment rolls. Internationally, they face a world which for a year or more has stood on the brink of war. It is the duty, therefore, of these young people not alone to find their proper niches, their vocations, their livelihood, but to so fit themselves into the scheme of things that they may constructively serve mankind— to save mankind. Young men and women, we feive you these two precepts: cepts: Follow the Golden Rule. Bear in mind that America is the Land of the Free, SUT the Home of the Brave!

THE TRAGEDY OF 14 YEARS AGO Foui*te6i^ yeiafs ago, on the moniing of May 27, Goal Glen, a little village of neighboring Chatham county, exploded its name into prominence. Unknown to many citizens of the state, the small mining community rolled up one of the worst disN asters that ever befell North Carolina. Fifty-three men en tombed in the Carolina Coal mine lost their lives, following a series of explosions. By late afternoon the cotton fields about the mine had been transformed into a city of thousands and the traffic jam was akin to a Duke-Carolina football game. Before nightfall medical detachments had arriv ed from Fort Bragg and tents were set up for rescue work. The U. S. Bureau of Mines had ordered mine rescue cars sent in from West Virginia and Bir mingham. The Red Crogs field director was on his way from Washington with nearby units rushing in to help. The Govern or sent the adjutant general down and a representative from the Department of Labor. Pen elope, the mine locomotive of the branch road, hauled more offi cials and mine paraphernalia into that territory than hac ever been seen before. Headlines of a Greensboro paper said Ho ward Butler would live, barring unforseen difficulties. The quiet countryside became a distressing scene. The unheard of village of Coal Glen made headlines over a nation. Again it is unheard of, forgotten and un known. ceive improved rail service starting June 6 when the Seaboard Railway’s streamlined Silver Meteor^ will be run in two sections south of Wildwood, Florida providing service to each coast every three days instead of six as formerly. Another increase for North Caro lina is shown in the numbor of au tomobiles registered for the past year. The Bureau of Pi'blic Roads re= ports a decline for the country in general but shows an increase of 2.3 for the state. For those who might not be aware of it, 171 years ago, in Guilford county, a little girl was bom, Dor othea Payne, who later became bet ter known as Dolly Madison, the spirited wife of President James Madison.

A sketch of the front of the building standing among the pines and surrounded by ^hrulj- bery adds a pleasing feature to the standard pattern of Commencement invitations. Lloyd Weeks, assistant tobacco specialist of the siate College Exten sion Service, has estimated that North Carolina growers will increase their plantings of flue-cured tobacco 15 {)er cent this year. Since compulsory control was re moved from the tobacco crop last winter, farmers have been free to plant an unrestricted acreage this year. For the flue-cured leaf belt as a whole, growers have indicated they will plant 11 per cent more tobacco this season than last, when they mar keted 786,000,000 pounds. However, yields per acre, on the 1938 crop were considerably above average. With normal yields this year, the 11 per cent increase would still place the total poundage below the 1938 fig ure. Acre yields up to the high lev el of last year would produce a 1939 crop of 872,000,000 pounds. Weeks said in the spring outlook report on tobacco, the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics reported prospects for stable or moderately improved general business conditions throughout the remainder of 1939. On this basis, it appears probable that cigarette consumption will be main tained at its pre.sent high level. Although blue mold struck heavily in most of the border and new bright belt counties. Weeks expects no gen eral shortage of plants. Comparative ly few cases have been reported where farmers will have to depend on their neighbors for seedlings. In some communities the recent hail storm did considerable damage to plant beds, while in other sections the damage was negligible, th» tobac co specialist pointed out. Correspondence “THE POWER OF GOODWIIX” Newspapers in terminal markets throughout the East and Middle West will be used early in June to promote the peftch crop of Georgia and North and South Carolina^ according to the Georgia-Carolina Peach Marketing Board. The drive is sponsored by the governors of the three states in volved, and also will use trade publi cations and point-of-sale displays. More than 90 percent of the tri-state crop is said to be represented by the board’s membership.

Adequate home fire-fighting equipment is simple and cheap —in fact, you probably have most of what you need on hand now. Many a potentially destruc tive fire has been quickly eX' tinguished with a garden host Short pieces of hose kept inside the house near faucets may come in mighty handy. And that simplest of all protective devices, a pail of water, may be a lifesaver in an emergency. Water is obviously the agent to use for most fires—but it shouldn’t be forgotten that in some cases water will spread, not quencp a fire. In the in stance of kitchen fires involving grease, for instance, the appli cation of water is likely to re sult in a sudden burst of flame that will send the fire to all cottiers of the room. A fire of this kind should be fought by covering the burning receptacle in order to shut off the air sup ply, after turning off all heat. Closet fires can often be smothered by simply closing the doors. In any event, no matter where the fire is, close all doors that will tend to confine it. Every householder will do well to buy one or two home ex- tinquishers of an effective and inexpensive type, of which there are many approved makes on the market. Foam and gas ex tinguishers are the most ef ficient agents for quel^hing oil fires. Lastly, the National Board’s bulletin offers a number of sug gestions for home fire fighting which should be kept always in mind: 1. Never attempt to fight fire in a smoke-filled room or basement—poisonous fumes may overcome you. 2. Never enter a room where much fire is in evidence. 3. Women should not attempt to fight fire, wearing cotton or silk dresses— a human life is worth more thar property. 4. See that everyone is out of danger before yor fight the fire. 5. Money spent for fire prevention, such as ap proved electrical appliances, re pairs to chimneys and heatinf plants, fire stops, etc., is morf worth while than that spent for extinguishing equipment. Little Anthea Carol Taylor, 17- months-old daughter of ]Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Taylor of Vass, is an active little miss and when she is quiet, it is a sign that mischief is brewing. Late Friday afternoon her mother missed her prattle and investigated. The young lady had found an old paint bucket with a small amount of paint in it, and had proceeded to smear it on her clothes, hair and face, not slighting her mouth. Anthea Carol still hasn’t figured out the eason why, when she was having such a perfectly lovely time, she had to be snatched up, scrubbed and greased^ looked over by a doc tor and then rushed to Sanford for tn encounter with a stomach pump.
