f-. I 5 11 I FROM VAR.i6uSJ branches Ro b» T*t^C«y I Vi HOPE FOR THE SPRING. All | educational Institutions in the world, minds are concentrated now on the one optimistic hope that things will “pick up" in the spring. Spring is the authentic time for new life and this spring is, in the minds of mofet of us. not only authentic but is a sort of last chance. There is a general hope that industries will resume their full time operation, thus^'giMitS work to unemployed thousands and by work, giving them purchasing power to' clean the bus iness houses and approach the steps that lead to recovery. Cotton growers will keep an anx ious eye on the cotton mills as the best indicator of whether the far mers cotton will be in better de mand next Fall. Already promising signs are evident. The president of the Hudson Motor Company Is quoted as saying that he believes that the spring will see the return of manufactutert to full time work and as evidence that he believes is planning the re-employment of 2500 workers who were “laid off” last Fall. Following this idea have come the great number of North Carolina mills which have adopted a five or six day week, in con trast with the three day work of the Fall and winter. A better de mand for the product of the mills is seen, and is a natural result of the curtailment in production. It is not reasonable for the richest :nation in the world to have a ^rge ■proportion of it’s population in the clutches of financial Stress. Here’s to the time when, under the com plete recovery of business we may \ see the revival of summer Base ball leagues, stores crowded with ^oys at Christmas and faces bless ed with happy smiles. * * * THE CHECKS for the fifteen cent cotton delivered to the Co-op in Raeford last fall, have been mail- •eded out to Hoke County farmers.

Following closely the style of the old monastery and ca thedral structure in Europe, the campus is in the form of a cross, with beautifil buildings enclosing velvet smooth lavm and rugged walks, built of slabs of slate more than four feet sijuare. Most unver- sities are collected bit by bit, here a chapel, there a dormitory, with the necessity of infinite pains to unite the architecture and material. But here is a unversity, sprung up almost over night, stadium, class room, hospital, library, all built har moniously and at one time. Back ed by every resource a university could desire, Duke is sure in time to become one of the great educa tional centers of the nation and one to which every North Carolinian can bring any ■visitor with a senSe of pride. And one of the happiest fea tures, which some may overlook, is that the beautiful setting of pines in which the university ha.s been placed, makes it now and for all time, unmistakably North Carolin ian. * * * NOVEMBER.

Re ports have been going around that no more money would be forthcom ing from last year’s deliveries. How- ■ever, in spite of the fact that cot ton is now worth only ten cents, the Association hopes to avoid loss on this fifteen cent cotton by turn ing it over to the stabilizatfon or ganization, which will hold it until cotton returns at least to the ap proximate level of last year.

There is .something in. careless prosperity that works against Thanksgiving. There is something in strained situations that fosters the true observance of this very fine spirited holiday. You have already heard people say that, this will not be much of a Thanko giving. Tell them you believe they are wrong. Search back through the ■Annals highway or feast fh» relativeft in Southem splendor? Or was your fitt est Thankagiving one during the Gresft with ' every newspaper spreading the list o^ casualties through the. land, ;and every day cut ting deeper into the resourqes of the country, all the people united to thank God for-the success that He had given to our arms'and the privilege of making sacrifices for a cause worthy of devotion and Sac rifice? Unfortunately the spirit of Thanks giving does not thrive in ground that is over-rich. Extreme prosper ity brings on independence and for getful self-reliance. Blessings mount up In a golden heap that hides from view the source from which they coine. Like the primitive hunter in the Bible, who killed his deer, roasted it, ate it and then lay down by his fire. Prosperity says, ‘‘Aha, I am warm,’’ and Soon sleeps without giving thanks. A thankful spirit does not view the blessings of life and Ignore the troubles. It takes them both in '^th a clear mind and a sure sense of the value of every quality of life. Consider the, the spirit of the first Thanksgiving, a Thanksgiving con ceived by a group of exiles, living in a little white scar in a great emerald wilderness. Measured by the speed with which our ships cross the ocean now, these Pil grims were removed from home more tfian 28,000 miles, more than the circumference of the earth. The winter before sickness had worked terrible destruction in their little band. They were homesick, alone, beset by murderous savages, one stake driven in at the edge of a col ossal wilderness. (With admirable fortitude they faced all this; no in dividual in the company could help but know ih Nevwtheless they pro claimed a Thanksgiving season and returned grateful acknowledgement of the blessing of the departure of the plague, the first crops, and the friendliness . of a handful of Indians Theirs was the homely but worthy philosophy of “things could be a whole lot worse.” While we approach the conring Thanksgiving .season with many fea tures of life listing hadly to one side, it should be >1- time when, stripped of the forgetfulness that comes of cups full and nbming over, we should weigh in our minds the things that might have happened. May this be a Thanksgiving that will see the return of the old hardy spirit that gave thanks when less courageous spirits would have moaned. The bunting has been strip ped oft of things here lately -and this should be at. least a Thanka giving thoughtful and sihcere.
