There is so much talk about the j ?wickedness of the younger generation that one is led sometimes, to wonder if things can possibly get much worse. They are getting beyond redemption, we are told and something must be done. Automobiles, theatres, dancing and many other similar vices are ^ ruining our young people at an alarm- j ing rate. ? | But are the young people of this great enlightened age any worse mor ally or spiritually than were the young people who arc their parents ; today, in an age past. We think not. j It is claimed that there are more j temptations to lead them astray than , there were in the "gay nineties. It is true we have the automobile but it must be admitted that where "old Dobbin" always* knew the way home and required no attention on the part of the driver, the automobile must have at least a little attention, if no more than one hand. You may travel further and at greater speed but what is there in that which might be term ed as hurtful? If it were not for the automobile, the attractions would be brought into the community. It is not a question of the youth of today being any worse than the youth of yesterday but merely that they are more outspoken, more open with the thing they do. What you see them do is about ALL they do. They are no worse than they appear and frank, open spirit is really commen dable. It is what is in the heart that matters and the young people of yes terday who did no wrong because of fear, who did not yield to tempta tion because it was not prosented to them; who went to church because they were forced to do so or because there was no other place to go, cer tainly are not to bo prai3ed above the youth of today who have far more tests of morality and spirituality than did their fathers and mothers. If they attend church and other religious ser vices it is because they like to do so and they derive more benefit from it than would be possible if they were required to attend against their will. They attend the theatre but it must be remembered that there were no theatres in the days when father and mother were coming into young man hood and young womanhood. The dances of this age would have been as popular a century ago as they are today if they had been known. Maybe we are right and maybe we are wrong. But one thing is certain; the older generation has been preach ing and lecturing about the younger generation since the time of Cain and Abel and will continue to do so as long as there is a younger generation. Per haps this serves a good purpose in that it does something toward hold ing each younger generation in check, which may be a good thing after all. SOME HOPE FOR THE WINTER. There is at least one class of peo ple in the State of North Carolina who have nothing to worry about this winter, and that is the farmers. They may not have any money but they at least have something to eat, which is far more than many of. our city dwellers can say. The follow ing editorial in the Franklin Press shows what the farmers of the state have been doing in preparation for the coming winter: | "Most farmers in North Carolina .'.'HI be able to eat this winter wheth er they have any money or not. "This is because, as a result of a planned campaign by home demon stration club members, farm women filled 3,190,000 containers with food. At a conservative estimate, this can ned food is worth $638,013.40. I "Every dollar of the cost of family living that comes from the garden or from the orchard is just one more dollar added to the family income, just one more dollar cash for other , things besides food. Canning has be- : come a bread and butter necessity in many homes. I "Moreover, a better knowledge of nutrition has t*ught housewives the body's needs for iron, phosphorous, 1 lime. ceilulo3e and vitamins. Home canning is tie best means of provid lag these necessities. "Heme canning means more money to spend and better health. It isn^c too late. Continue your canning pro- 1 gram until you have enough for your family all winter." DO YOUR OWN WORRYING Conditions throughout the world are righting themselves. You say now that yon knew they would but you do not stop to Realize that it has been a lack of confidence on your part of every individual in. the nation that has prevented this "come ),ack" from being seen a long time ago. People have been spending too much time worrying about conditions throughout the world, over which they had no control and not enough time in thrashing out their individual problems. World problems are simply a mass of individual problems and for tnat reason is up to the individual to cor rect world problems by first correct ing his own personal problems. Don't worry about England or France or Germany. They are capable of doing their own worrying. They will come out on top without your assistance. Try to figure out methods of receiv ing what you have lost; of building up your own business ; of restoring confidence within your own heart and spend more time talking of the good | things the future has in store for yo? and telling people how you, as an in dividual are doing your bit to restore the country to normalcy by dealing ! intelligently with your problems. Worry will accomplish nothing. Work will accompli* wonders. Confidence will assure success. ' Lack of it will doom you to failure. I The world is depending on you, not ' so much a3 a great national leader ! but as an individual unit in the vast ! machinery of industry for if you and J your neighbor and your neighbor's i neighbor will look after your own af ! fairs the national and international ' problems will be made simpler by not ? being forced to work out your prob ( lems as well as their own. | CAN'T PAY BONDS, DEBTS, j INTEREST, WITH HATE. In talking with one of the outstand ; ing leaders of Transylvania county , recently, The Brevard News asked the gentleman what, in his opinion, would be the best way out for this county. ' "Two things are necessary," the gentleman replied. "We must ba,e : some kind of a settlement with the bondholders of the county and town. It will be utterly impossible for us ever to pay the amount of the pub lic indebtedness. Vve have nothing with which to pay it. Then, too, when ail that money was borrowed things were different. Every man in the county has taken his losses, and it is up to the bondholders to take their losses," he said. "Why do you think that we will be unable to meet these obligations?" the man' was asked. "Well, let's survey the matter. Twenty-five years ago this county was rich in natural resources. Our forests were untouched. At that time the assessed valuation of the entire county, with all of its natural re i sources, was just about one million dollars. Today, all of our natural re sources are gone.( With operations of our lumber companies and other in dustries, the forests have been clear ed of the valuable natural wealth. Yet our assessed valuation of our property has been increased to $8, 500,000. We owe, in county and town public debts, something like $3,000, 000. Will you figure it out and tell me how in the name of common sense this debt can ever be paid, or how the property owners are ever to pay taxes on an assessed valuation of $8, 500,000, when all of our natural re sources have been removed?" "Is there no way out for us?" was the next question put to the gentle man. "Yes, there is a way out for us, and that brings up the second prop osition. By working together, plan ning together, suffering together, sacrificing together, we can work out of it all. But that is a hard task here, for it will call for elimination of hatred, personal spite, petty jealous ies and harmful enmities. We can never work nut of our difficult posi tion by fighting one another all the time. We must realize that the wel fare of one is the concern of all. We must leam the lesson that no one man can prosper here until and unless others about him can prosper. We must further realize that hurting one man in the community is hurting all men of the community." Return to the slow, but safe, pur suit of agriculture and stock raising was one way that this man indicat ed as an avenue of returning to the county's former fine position. As to the suggestion that bondholders should mab) adjustment of these ob ligations, that suggestions has bewi made by many citizen?, and is becom ing a live topic of conversation among the tax payers of the county and town. THANKS TO THE OBSERVER OF STERCHI BROTHERS. Over in Asheville there is a busi ness house known far and wide as Sterchi Bros. Stores, dealers in furni ture. The primary object of this con cern is, pf course, to sell furniture. But Sterchi does not stop with the mere selling of merchandise. Like ali wide-tewake business concerns, Sterchi knows the value, even to his big busi ness, of making contact with the sur rounding country; of devoting time and money to the upbuilding of Ashe ville and Western North Carolina; of passing out a bouquet every now and j then to make their neighbor happy and feel that life is worth living and that all earnest" efforts have their fruitation of reward. Sterchi Brothers puts on a radio program every Thursday morning from 9:30 to 9:4o o'clock. It is an enjoyable program, as all those who listen in on the Sterchi quarter-hour know. Last Thursday morning's pro gram was especially pleasing to The Brevard News, naturally, because Sterchi's Observer saw fit to com ment upon an editorial appearing in this newspaper two weeks ago. We are taking the liberty of herewith pub lishing the comments made by Ster chi's Observer about our editorial, frankly admitting our pleasure in it, and in this manner express our ap preciation to Sterchi Brothers for the comment, which was as follows: "Sterchi's Observer notes a most interesting editorial in the Septem ber 1st issue of Jim Barrett's paper, The Brevard News, and since Ster chi Brothers have a primary interest in anything* pertaining to the home, the observer wishes to commend that editorial 1 6 your attention, also to congratulate the folks over in Transylvania County who participat ed so successfully in Home Coming Day at the Rocky Hill Baptist Church. Readers of the Brevard News now have a new idea of the value of home-comings after reading the edi torial headed "Why Do We Have | Family Reunions and Homecomings" ? its worth reading." WHY TOWNS DO NOT GROW A town is no bigger than people who compose it. If they are prudish, narrow-minded and are not progres j sive the town v. ill always be small | and behind the times in everything, j It is not necessary to resort to law ! lessness ? to dispense with proper I government to make a "live" town, i But it is necessary that the laws and , ordinances governing the town be in , keeping with the times and that the I people, as a whole, keep step with the , times. There is brought to our attention through the newspapers every day, instances of towns reviving laws which were made to govern a people j who never knew anything about auto j mobiles, telephones, radios or any j other of our more modern convenien j ces. There is the case of a town in j New England reviving the old meth . ods of punishing violators of the law by placing them in stocks; forbidding the selling of even the necessities of life ? medicines and food stuffs on 1 Sunday; and using every conceivable method known to DRIVE people to church. The revival of laws of this kind can and will serve only one pur pose and that is to drive really pro gressive inhabitants away from the town and offer no incentive for new residents and tourists. Laws designed to protect are good laws and should be rigidly enforced. But why have a five or ten-mile speed limit when the average automobile can not run at this speed except in second gear? Why force business houses to close at dark or at any given hour, especially those which serve travelers who are passing through the town and tourists who come to the town for their "play time?" It is hard to believe but there are towns, especially in the New England states who are reviving some of these old age-worn ordi nances. But laws which were good in the by-gone days of hoop-skirts and bustles will not meet with the ap proval of this modern age of prog ress and achievement BUSINESS IMPROVING (Rutherfordton County News) That business is improving all must admit, who study conditions and trends of the times. Textile mills are receiving more orders, cotton is ad vancing in price and that means an advance in other farm products, The price on cotton governs many other commodities. Now is a good time to "buy." Prices are sure to increase with the advance of cotton. Unemployment is decreasing every where while building is improving. If folks will work more, spend less and pay their honest debts, go to Sunday school and church more and serve their Master, busin6ss is sure to im prove rapidly. Ruthcrfwdt&B pas more "new com- f ers" now than ehc ha? had in many j years. Houses for rent are scarcer | now than they have been in several i years. ' IF YOU USE RED CLAY FOR TEE BRICK, YOUR BUILDING WILL AL 70 BE RED (Greenville News) Have you wondered why some men seem feminine and soma women mas culine? Perhaps you will find the answer in "genes," minute divisions of life discovered by Dr. Thomas Hunt Mor gan. the great biologist who learns and teaches at Cal Tech, Mecca of modern scientists. Here is the story of genes, told briefly in words a layman can under stand. All life, as you know, develops by the multiplication of cells. When the male and female repro ductive cells unite the resulting em bryo is a microscopic particle so small that it could be lost on the point of a needle. . Yet within this cell are many min ute rods -called chromosomes. A nd the reproductive cell of each species con tains a certain number of chromoso mes that never varies ? whe&t 42, monkey 54, man 48, Half of these are furnished by the male, half by the female, and each cell contains a complete set arranged in pairs. Each pair of chromosomes, male and femals lying si.de by side, is de stined to become a certain part of the mature creature. One pair pro vides the element that becomes eyes, another perhaps, the respiratory sys tem or the brain or sex equipment. Each of the 24 pair in the human cell contains some particular forma tion or quality inherited from the parent stock. But this is not the end of wonders. These minute rod-like! chromosomes are not indivisable units. Each is divided into sections called "genes." And as the chromosomes lie side by side, a gene of one may exchange places with a like gene of the other. For example, when the two chromos omes lie together, the gene that de termines the color of hair in the male chromosome is exactly opposite the gene that determines the color of hair in the female chromosome, and the two may change places. The result is an oddity. The male chromosome contains a female part; the female chromosome contains a male part. This "crossing over" of genes ex plains the exceptions to Mendel's law of hereidty. It may also explain why an individual apparently female is predominantly male. Does a woman equal or surpass men in activities usually masculine? Ob serve her closely. Has she the figure, face and adventurous spirit of a man? However charmingly feminine she may be in some particulars, in others she may be more man than womv.n. The plum tree must bear peaches if a peach limb is grafted on its trunk. BOUND TO COME (Mooresville Enterprise) The auto makers figure that a cer tain number of cars wear out com pletely every year and have to be re placed. They look ahead to that much business they are sure to get. Now the farm equipment people are doing the same thing. In a survey mode in the state of Ohio it has been found that farmers will have to buy twice as much machinery in the next five years as they bought in 1931 or they will not be able to plant and harvest nor mal crops. That same ratio of neces sary replacement of farm machinery will possibly hold good around Moor esville. For several years farm profits have not been sufficient to warrant machinery and implement re placements. This means farming is now being done under more or less difficulty. Now, with crops consider ably reduced, the process promises to be sufficient to warrant at. least some of these replacements, and the machinery and implement industry is said to be showing considerable ac tivity. All of which means that in still another way the farm is leading the country back to prosperity. SCHOOL HINTS TO PARENTS With the opening of public fchools almost at hand, the News and Ob server suggests that when the tcach ers begin their business of filling young heads with knowledge, parents should see that the young bodies are I in the best possible shape for the win . ter's worw. '"Dr. Shirley W. Wynne, health commissioner of New York City, has i published a list of 'getting ready for ? school hints. They apply equaily well in North Carolina as in New York. The principal hints are: "Every child should be examined by the family doctor. "He must be vaccinaed against smallpox. "He should be immunized against1 diphtheria. "His teeth should be in good con dition. "His feet should be fitted with proper shoes. "His clothing should fit comfort ably. "His diet should include plenty of milk. "His luncheon should* be nourish ing. "For some families this fall some of those hints wiil run into economic difficulties. Every effort should be made to help these children afflicted by depression. But the hints apply, too, to the children of the -well to do. "More and more ir. North Carolina as in New York the greater part of the responsibility for the well being of children is being placed upon the schools. Many think that, the apparent tendency to shape the child in the school rather than the home is an un fortunate modern departure. Certain ly the duty must remain upon the parents t) present their children at the aehoo'iS m the best possible phys ical condition In order that the child may be able to make the roost of the advantages and opportunities provid ed by the schools. ?
