We are particularly happy that the anni
versary of the Presbyterian church coines at
Thanksgiving. It seems most appropriate, in
that we feel the church should be the symbol
of the Thanksgiving season, instead of many
of the so-called commercial ones.
Needless to say, the Presbyterian church
has been an important institution in the life
of this community. The membership of the
church have been some of the county's best
known leaders, and have influenced the citi
zens of the area in manv of the better things
of life...-;;.;'. : v. -
The church has been progressive, and has
steadily grown throughout the years. Such
growth reflects the broad program of service
which has been rendered throughout the
three-quarters of a century.
We have on many occasion heard visitors
remark that they knew this was a good town,
because it had a church at both ends of Main
Street the Presbyterian on the north, and
the Baptist on the south. . a- '
We join with all Christian friends in wish
ing for the Presbyterian church continued
growth, leadership and progress in the broad
field, which it serves.

The Press Visits Haywood
On Friday, Haywood will a.uoin be host to
about 50 newspaper folk, as they come here
for a dual purpose to visit Champion Paper
and Fibre Company, and attend the Tobacco
Festival Parade.
The press has visited in Haywood on seve
ral occasions from the State group to the
district group, and the citizens here always
welcome them most heartily,
i Friday will be a busy day for the news
paper folk, as they see first-hand how paper
is made at Champion, and then come here
for a prominent place in the parade. Many
of them were here last year, and signified
then they wanted to come back, regardless
of the snow and biting cold weather.
. .While no guarantee can be made as to
ather, the press can be assured of a genu
jne and warm welcome.
Learning By Visiting
Only recently forty German children re
turned to their native land after spending a
yfiJlW-eUAmerican ferms, and attending the
sJjools here.
jjfjach of the youngsters returned with a new
vjsijsion, and a new opinion of America. In
faci, each said they wanted to come back to
friendly America.
jy.'Ihe sponsors of the project had in mind
that one of the best ways to prove to other
peoples the true American way of life was
to bring them here and get first-hand infor
mation. The suggestion has been made that if
enough of a similar group from Russia could
be brought here and shown the true facts
that there would never be a war between
America and Russia.
? For the past two years, there has been an
exchange of 4-H Club members between Hay
Wood county, and Washington county, Iowa.
Not only have the youngsters benefited, but
their parents and friends have also learned
a lot, about the plains of the west and the
inbunins .of .Western North Carolina.
: !.'n"a as Dr. Elmer Clark aptly, said oncei.
are usually down on the things which
we are not "up on," certainly holds true with
nations as well as individuals.
The Thanksgiving season is the one time
in the year that various orphanages ask for
financial assistance from the public.
Many of the church-owned institutions fol
low this practice, as well as orphanages spon
sored by other organizations.
And Thanksgiving is the logical time for
the orphanages to receive such recognition.
Because it is a period when the harvest is
in, and we can count our many-fold blessings,
and share them with those less fortunate.
The hundreds of children who make up
the rolls of our orphanages are there because
of circumstances, and not choice. Those of
us who can, should make it a point to always
remember the orphanages as we give do
nations. x
If you want to spend a pleasant hour or so,
just visit any orphanage, and see first-hand
the important work which is being done.
Chances are you will be amazed, and perhaps
somewhat ashamed that you have not done
more for these deserving folk in the past.

School Promotions
A growing tendency in .manj North. Caro
lina schools is the promotion of students, after
a certain time has elapsed, regardless of the
individual's efforts to earn a promotion. Vari
ous theories have prompted this practice. One
theory holds that the lazy students,, if forced
to repeat a grade too often, are kept with stu
dents of a different age group. Another
theory has it that these students exert a bad
influence on students in the grades which
they repeat. And there are other theories.
Dowell J. Howard, State Superintendent
of Public Instruction in Virginia, told mem
bers of the Virginia Education Association,
however, that "pupils should earn promo
tions, otherwise they develop bad habits and
are disillusioned." Recognizing that some stu
dents are indolent, he urged as an antidote to
automatic promotions individual attention for
students, including visits to their homes. Mr.
Howard makes sense. Certainly, before a stu
dent is promoted for any reason other than
ability, every angle of the case should be ex
plore. ), Automatic . piwvis'(nitljery '

BORROWED BONUS An iron-;
ical situation has developed here
for the .thousands of-teachers" who
for several weeks now have had
visions of sugar plums on the extra
pay promised them by December
l.
Funds for the bonus werp to
come trom any surplus which had
accumulated in the State treasury
oi last June 30. There was a
great deal of backing and filling
oetore it was decided the teachers
would receive their money.
As of last Friday. North Cam.
Una had ,in its treasury $5,000,000
The amount due to the teachers is
$7,000,000. On top of this, the State
must pay its employees, including
teachers, their recular Nnvemhpr
salaries.
So put this down: The State is
n the peculiar oosition of homo
forced to borrow $10,000,000 be
tween now and December in order
to pay out of the "surplus". If the
money is not borrowed, teachers
will have to wait nnlil Mir.1,

which appear to him to pc the
only way to "hold himself to

cannot live without some degree
f self-esteem, the blow to your
mental picture of yourself In
volved in facing the fact that your
failures have been mostly your

terrifying.
Is modern ort "puritanic"?
; Answer: Certainly not in the

Wid "immoral." But the core of
puritanism is fear of experiencing
orf communicating pleasure, and
it seems to me that much artistic
!$rork today expresses and is limit
ed bythat fear. 1 cannot see why

Arc some neurotics afraid
to be cured?
Answer: Yes, writes Eleanor
Crissey In the American Journal
of Psychoanalysis. The "retarding
forces" encountered in psychoan

Does a happy childhood make
you rear cnanger
Answer: Yes, insofar as the
happiness was centered upon the
sense of being taken care of. A
child whose "devoted" parents
unintentionally keep him overly
dependent on them will tend to
fear change because it may In
volve responsibilities, for which
. he ts unprepared. And a child who
was unhappy because of unkind
ness or neglect may prefer change
at all costs. But if you were

self-reliant, you Tl be tree to fol-
: low your natural Impulse to grow,
and will welcome change once
you are sure It's for the better.

lonesome figures as you ever saw
last Saturday afternoon about 1:40
on a mue-travelled road from Ra
leigh to Wake Forest. Thev wr
sailing along when came a blow
out. They lumbered out of the car
huffing and Duffins ela rccA at
their watches, and started jacking
up mat ngnt rear wheel like mad.
The game between State and wv
Forest was about to start and the
nearest service station was a good
nve miles away.
Somebody felt sorry for the way
farers, stopped to give aid. There
wasn't much time for a decision
They locked the car. left it., saw
the game, and then bummed a ride
back to their flat tire. When last
seen, they were going about their
work in a leisurely, methodical
manner, weighed down under that
6-6 tie thrust upon Wake Forest by
an underdog State. At that, how
ever, Gaddy was not as low as his
son, one of the cheerleaders for
the Baptist school.
As for the tire, it was worn out
anyhow. University Chancellor Bob
House had put about 30,000 miles
on the car before it was adopted
by Green. And that was 20,000
miles ago.
COMPARATIVELY MILD The
State Baptist Convention held last
week made plenty of news, but it
jvas mild in comparison to one
held exactly 25 years ago. That
meeting followed the Scopes trial
in Dayton, Tenn., and the impor
tant question was evolution, the
missing link, and all that. The late
W. L. Poteat, president of Wake
Forest College, was in the thick
of the battle as Convention Presi
dent Dr. I. M. Mercer of Wilson
tried to keep order.
Although the newspapers did not
emphasize them, five incidents of
the Convention are of interest to
all North Carolina Baptists. One
was the fine impression which
Newcomer Dr. Harold W. Tribble,
new Wake Forest president who
will be formally inaugurated next
week, made on rank and file Bap
tists from all the counties. Second
was the fact that a Baptist layman,
or businessman, was made presi
dent of the Convention. He is
Grover H. Jones or High Point, the
first non-minister to head thp Ran-
tist organization since Dr. " I. G.
Greer, and the third in many,
manv years th nthpr hpins R N
I.Simms.- RaLeiah attorney. T.iird was
piat tne Hapustjuoaru was broad
ened from 48 members to 78. thus
giving every Baptist association in
tne btate at least one member.
That's democracy. Fourth impor
tant item was the firm and friend
ly shove, given Wake Forest Col
lege toward Winston-Salem. And
fifth was provision for the emblov-
ment of a "bookkeeper" to handle
the finances, elected by the Board
and responsible only to the Board.

holiday instead of the Thanksgiv

THANKSGIVING
Let us be thankful, Lord, for the '
little things in life. For the ray of
sunshine that comes through our
window and lights up our heart for
the day ahead; for the hello of a
passer-by whom we hardly know
yet feel so much closer to since
the greeting.
Let us be thankful for the soft
rain that smooths out our troubled
thoughts; for the cheerful word
from a co-worker when the duty
on hand is so important. For the
"please" and the "thank you" when
we have lent a helping hand; for
the view of a distant mountain
when our eyes long for beauty; for
the letter from a friend when the
shadows fall.
Let us e thankful, Lord, for
the large things in life; for the
will to o forward in the face of
obstacles; for the health that gives
us the strength to surmount diffi
culties; for the vision to look
straight into the eyes of the future
as well as today. For the mind
that guides our hands to do great
er and better things for ourselves
and our neighbors.
