St out Morrmrnt It is indeed puzzling to understand why out peopln give so little attention to the Boy Scout movement in the several towns and county, as a whole Certainly there are few organizations that offer as much in return as offered by the Scout movement As the problem is viewed in this county, the fathers Of young boys are responsible for the limited showing the movement has made The fathers are seldom connected with the move ment. and while the undertaking is worthy of public support, the fathers in too many cases do not take the lead in supporting the organiza tion It is apparent that too much time and money are spent supporting organization? and events offering little in return in comparison with the possibilities wrapped up in a strong Boy Scout organization Every parent in the county, in cluding those in the rural areas, could well af ford to interest himself in the movement And the general public could well lend its support to an organization offering to help mould the character today of those youths who will be our leaders tomorrow A challenge is directed to the fathers in Mar tin County to rally to the support of the Boy Scout movement, to give their sons a few min utes of their busy time The Kear-Lreat Are Little Known Disgusted with the movie program, tired of j the printed page and weary of card playing, a small family group started a little contest. No prizes were offered. It was just a matter of pro moting an interesting and worth-while conver- ( sat ion The group tried to associate a promi nent man with some city or state Only one scientist was mentioned. A few pol iticians' names were squeezed into the con- , versation. Foolhardy heroes?Lindbergh, for in stance?were included in the conversation. The list of the great and the near-great was soon ex- | hausted, and the names of those research men, those tiring souls who, working out of sight of i the public eye, had given years of study and even their loves for the advancement of medi cal and the other sciences were casually men- j tioned or not mentioned at all The group, just as water does, soon sought its level. There were the Gumps, Little Abner, j Popeye, Orphan Annie, baseball players, prize fighters. Andy's every move could be recalled s in detail by two or three if not by all of the j group. A bloody eye of a brute prize fighter ap parently was more startling than the isolation of a deadly germ by medical science. The little group, educated more or less ac- j cording to our modern?education standards, knew hardly a dozen of the famous and notor ious characters of the states and the several hundred cities in this land of ours The group 1 readily admitted' its prowess when it came to the smart slang expressions, and its ability to I attack and slash with the tongue. ('.all For the Budget Boy? Back yonder when millions of dollars were i lieing spent for relieving hunger and want in j this country, there was a large group bellow ing about an unbalanced budget As far as budgets go, it was in a poor way. But today there isn't much heard about the unbalanced budget. Possibly when the hides are about to be ripped from all of us we consider a balanced budget of secondary importance. - However, m war-as well as In peace there~Is time for economy Not including "Our" Bob Reynolds there is a great deal of traveling at government expense There were 700 Federal employee* in Florida last winter at one time at government expense, the General Account ing office told a sub-committee in the House last week. It was also disclosed that the gov ernment had paid for thirteen $150 radio phonograph sets which were installed in the homes of Federal Communications Commis sion members for "test purposes." Peace of Greensboro News. Addressing a pastors' conference preliminary at the opi ning of the State Baptist convention at Charlotte, Dr. Thurman D. Kitchin, Wake Forest president who was physician before he became educator, emphasized the great increase in mental disease, with prediction that the in crease would bo even sharper, and the part which ministers must play in bringing that peace of the soul which assures mental tran quility. Dr. Kitchin spoke of the complexities of liv ing. the rush of modern civilization, and the changes which are coming, particularly in the South, as a result of industrialization and urban ization of the section. It was in this connection that he foresaw greatly increased mental mal adjustments, the emergence of new problems of mental health with which the minister no less than the doctor must deal; the state of the mind is largely determinant of the state of the bodv. What the Wake forest president says is trag ically true, borne out by statistics showing the crowded condition of asylums and various in stitutions which are dedicated to the trcatment of the mentally sick But Dr. Kitchin might have gone ? infinitely farther in the grim pic ture which he painted. "Surely the outlook is so dark for the effects of the war in this very field that one really hates to think upon it. Heretofore war has been fought on the battle field between armies of men trained to and for the purpose Even under these conditions men tal break-downs, crack-ups, were frequent; they continue to pile up now as former soldiers give way to the strain or the horror to which they were subjected a score and more years -ago- a ? Now, however, the battlefront is cotermin ous with the nations which participate in the war. Blockades and counter-blockades cause men, women and children to starve. Whole pop ulations have their habits, their living, disrupt ed as they spend the major portion of their time underground. Death rains incessantly from the skies The struggle is deliberately made a war of nerves, a war designed to break men's morale, to shatter their processes of thinking, to starve or craze them into submis sion. What the toll will be in lost reason, in mental collapse, in psychopathic hospitals and padded cells no one can foresee; no one likes to think upon it lest the very thought work unduly upon his or her own mental processes. Dr. Kitchin has indeed touched upon a prob lem to which there is no end save that ul timate triumph of the Prince of Peace which lie envisions as physician and as Christian edu cator. (Hd Copy Hook Lint' Slill Truv Smilhiield Herald. "Just a fui' lino to let you no how it is with us. Woo didn't liavo any farm at all and wee have to got a day work when wee can get one but 1 got you a dollar and please wate on me and tell this fall and 1 going to pay you every penny." The above was the first part of a letter which a Negro woman wrote to a Smithfield lawyer months ago. There was much more in the let ter. in which she kept asking her creditor not to think hard and to give her time and she would pay all. As a matter of fact, she did send a dollar every so often until it was almost paid by Christmas, and the lawyer appreciating her consistent efforts sent her a receipted bill for the balance as a Christmas gift. _ There was-hardly a single mark of punctua tion in the letter. The simplest words were misspelled, but that Negro woman has learned something that some never learn though they have received college diplomas, and that thing is just plain honesty. Persons who would never think of breaking into a man's store and robbing the cash drawer will purchase merchandise on credit and nev er seemingly make any effort to pay for it. Yet these same persons go on eating good food, wearing good clothes, attending moving pic ture shows, driving their cars for pleasure. It is easy to understand the effect that the Negro woman's efforts to pay her debt had upon her creditor. He was impressed that she recognized her debt, was not trying to evade it, and by her payments though small was showing her honest intent. And the old copy true in her case. She was given a part of the debt. Turnage Theatre ? Washington, N. C. Sunday - Monday -Tuesday Feb. 1S17 -1I "NORTHWEST MOUNTED POLICE" with Gary Cooper and Madeline Carroll ALSO SRLBCTBD Wrdandiy-Thundiy February 1#-*# "Little Men" KAY FRANCIS and JACK OAKIE Friday-Saturday February ti lt "Comrade X" CLARK GABLE and HKDY LaMARR SHORT (UBJBCTS Liberty By REV JOHN HARDY Church Of The Advent St. James speaks of those who look into the perfect law of liberty* and St Paul says that where the spirit of the Law is. there is liberty. These men wrote in an age when personal liberty seemed to be a dream under the rule of a Caligula or a Nero. For many centuries after, liberty was re mote. In fact the ordinary man has enjoyed personal liberty for only a couple of centuries and in a ve? restricted area. To an American li berty is like the air we breathe, something we do not appreciate un til we are deprived of it by force Moreover, one scans the pages of history in vain to find when the common man has had liberty except in nations where society has had the [ leaven of Christ's gospel. There has never been any secular J government which has had any right to call itself Christian beyond the lact that it has been influenced by the ethical teaching of the Master The kingdoms of this world have never accepted the teachings of Christ to the exclusion of greed in their business affairs, and dishon esty m their political dealings. It has always been the remnant who have accepted the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount, and liberty has been possible only where that remnant has been potent enough to make it-1 self felt: It is futile to expect that any sys tem of government can produeel righteous citizens. It is only righteous | citizens who can enjoy a decent gov ernment. Sodom and Gomorrah would not change their character because of ~a-change in government i There can be no peace and prosper ity in a community unless the indi viduals who compose it are those who hunger for righteousness. The i state is like a family in which chil dren are fitted to enjoy their liber- , ty by the atmosphere of the family in which they are reared. Righteous ness cannot be imposed by arbitrary force, but can be attained only when men are taught to seek it. "It is only as we seek the Kingdom of God that all things shall be added unto us." It is folly to fancy that some theory ?r government will change the sta tus of those who compose it "Liberty is not the right to do any- ? thing that we please, but it is the privilege of freedom within the law and without injury to our neighbor It is not merely the negative of vice but also the exercise of virtue with out restraint or compulsion *' We wttl lose our liberty when we follow the had of some crackpot who poses as a saviour and we will follow that lead when our citizens become the kind of people who fall for patent medicines as a cure for human ills. What then can the individual do to safeguard the liberty that we have enjoyed? The Master has given us the prescription. We can love God with all our heart and soul and mind and our neighbor as ourselves, for love Worketh no ill to our neighbor. To preserve liberty we must be the kind of person who does not demand of others virtues which we ourselves do not possess. There are three- elements that con stitute- such a pe rson. First, that he worship God instead of himself or (if some dictator who usurps divine power and attributes. As the sun is the center of the solar system, so God is the only center of interna tional relations. When God is re jected the dictator steps in. Thus we merely exchange tyrants when we substitute one legal system for an other... Secondly, that we love the person whom we do not like-. There is no virtue in loving those whom we do like. We are surrounded by disagree able people partly because we are disagreeable ourselves. Unless we are willing to ftfrgive we cannot ex pect to be forgiven Thirdly, we ought to do cheerful ly the things we do not want to do at all. For as workers in a vineyard it is not enough to affirm that we have not stolen or committed mur der It is more important to ask our selves what good we have done than tm pride- ourselves upon hour good w-aiib?' ? 1'' We are here not merely to be min istered unto but to minister, and the parable of the talents implies that wcv are to do something in return for all that we receive. The glorious liberty of the sons of God is possi ble only when we are the kind of dis ciples of whom the Master will ap prove, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.
