Tuesday, April 16, 1929 The Vacation Problem vqik-" \ ~ Seven thousand children - will walk out of the scflools ' of Martin County within a few days; ' What should lie done with them during the four months' vacation! 1 Carelessness and. indifference, by both parent and child, will have much to do with the future course of the life of the child The natural trend of (Tie child will he to dodge as many obligations as possible. They will rekindle the athletic,spirit and play and play and play and then they will wallow around the swimming holes and gay resorts. The very liest thing to do with the children during vacation has been a big question for a long time, be cause it is so important. Some authorities say that much money might i>e saved by giving all girls a full four months course in home economics in the home kitchen, where they can cover the whole range of housekeeping, from kindling the lires in the morning to washing the dishes and locking the kite! en in the evening, while the tired mother rests from her long eight months of drudgery in sending them to school. One of the troubles as this»point, however, is that both mother and daughter are too proud for the com it\g young lady "to have to work. It would be all right to do the same things at school, where it has to lie paid for This is another case of the twinship of poverty and pride. After all, why should any boy or girl whj is old enough to work be permitted to become loafers the whole summer long With one-third of the school population too small to work, une .hird who will work, we still have left one-third, about 2,000, who generally do very little. If that 2,000 could, and I can be an expert cook," j; Says Mrs. Hill Home Economist, j who will conduct the Free Cookinv School. WOMAN'S CLUB Thursday, April 18th HILL will tell you ho/ to obtain the jfood- fe .. O' r/ *«« of old-time cooking ... in an easy, mod- - ern way. She will tell you of many new menus ... 2 and new dishes to serve. She will explain modem A methods of cooking and help you obtain new free- 'i dom from your kitchen. ' _ _ Ife' • VIRGINIA ELECTRIC I AND POWER COMPANY D R siw G M£££r AN CAROLINA DIVISION J tt.5J^ Sg C would, arrange to earn just 50 cents per day during the 100 days vacation, it would produce the hand + some sum of SIOO,OOO, almost enough* to pay all the teachers in the county during the whole of the next school year. The largest profit, though, would come from keep ing the h%dren from mischief. If they work, the courts will not have to try so many juvenile cases, and the sheriffs will not have to lock up so many young criminals '- •—. One of our greatest troubles today is that we do i not take as good care of the children in vacation sea son as w do in the school season. . How the Tariff Will Help the Peanut Farmer How much will the tariff help the peanut farmer is'.tf'qutMion not yet settled. One thing is certain, however, and that is that the 4 1-2 cents [>er pound does not mean an extra bonus. We now have jieanuts selling at 4 cents, with a tariff of 4 1-2 cents per .pound. I- ive cents will be a high price for farmers stock peanuts as long as sugar can be bought for '5 1-2 cents. The price of sugar seems to price-fixing factor (or peanuts. Peanut ; candy set nis to be the; main purpose for which the peanut is used now, hence when peanuts go up. their use i# Curtailed by making candy with few peanuts and much sugar. If sugar is high, then more jjea uuts are used- That seems to be the reason why pea nut candy contains so many peanuts when they are low and =o few when they are high. At present prices, candy makers have to pay around 7 1-2 cents fur peanuts ready to go into candy, and they will increase the sugar and glucose combinations if peanut.go much higher. Where llie'farmer will pre.fit most by the tariff is by.raising * line t\pe of large fieanuts to take the •place of the one million bags brought over from Ja pan, China, and India, which are a larger type than i tirs and which e established a place in the Ameri can trade which our farmers have the opportunity to supply under the tariff protection now in force. The War in Mexico The War in Mexico is one of mystery. Lots of bat tles and heavy fighting on many sectors; but nobody k : lled yet It maylTe that it i«: so hard to find out which side a fellow is on that they are afraid to take aim- when they shoot. After all, it is doubtful if they are having real war. \ou see, they are different front we Americans. They run their government by military tactics, v while we run ours with money. Hence it takes a lot more peo ple to handle things down in that . little country, where everybody comes out and stands in a line, half i.n one side and half on the other; and when they stand until they get tired they change sides. It is different in our country. We use a higher de gree of culture; L Our government is run by a few who sit on plush cushions and slip the documents a cross mahogany tables, while the army of underlings curse and fume thousands of miles away. Hit' finest about this whole Mexican war is that they don't kill often.
