CX, un der net of March 3rd, 1878. $50 TO IMPROVE VERY FARM HOME While we are not familiar witi conditions throughout the Unitec States, we think there are placet where the suggestion, recently ad vanced by James L. Sibley, of the State of Georgia, is worth trying. Mr. Sibley advances the idea thai the government experiment with a home improvement program in farm ing sections by making $50 worth oi repairs and improvements on existing dwelling units. He would provide a sanitary closet and adequate protec tion for wells of water supply to every farm home. This may look like a novel idea, at first glance, but there seems to be seme precedent for it in the expendi tures made by municipalities to pro vide sewerage and water services to city dwellers. Mr. Sibley argues that tnese things will improve health con ditions from 20 to 50 per cent and safeguard potential man-power for the nation's armed forces. WHAT CHILDREN NEED The White House Conference on Children in a Democracy estimates that half of the nation's children be long to families unable to live de cently and declares that the child's greatest need is a real job at real wages for his father and work op portunities for himself when he grows up. The conclusions will be derided, of course, by the he-men who profess great admiration for the "American way" and land the old-fashioned vir tues of self-reliance and individual initiative. The rugged individuals wffl advocate teaching the child to practice the virtues that earned suc cess in the past and, being comforta ble themselves, will be willing to sit quietly unto the growing generation solves its problem. There was a time in the United ? States, if we can believe what we are taught, when individuals could expect reasonable opportunities for advance ment through inteLgent application and some hard preseverance. With millions of older men unemployed and workers outnumbering available jobs, the young man of today faces a dif ferent condition. The class-book motto* will not feed him or enable him to feed himself. FARMERS, WATCH OUT! The farmers of Pitt County might as weU- keep a weather eye on Con gress, just to see what the members dteftde to db about cash benefits to agriculture. t The air is full of talk about econo my In the capital and farmers may be assured that the cuts will be made at the expense of the least organised group. This Is- usually the tillers of the soil, who can hardly be counted open to remember those who stand up for them in government. For many years the farmers of the nation have taken their cue from the busineea men of their section. They acte pncocmay sscrmcea wnigwvq on the ee-called alter of individual ism.

Jesus was human in that He felt the. need of worshiping God. "He went into the mountains to pray. He was lost in the multitude a& He gave service to the blind, the sick and the lame.
