Thursday, October 24, 1940 flip Dirador, National Farm Youth Foundation THE ROCKING CHAIR Democracy was born and rais ed in a rocking chair. Today we are neglecting the importance of both these ways and means of Changes often I take place in our I daily lives with the passing of the years that are of tremen dous importance to us. Yet we seem unmindful Kv „ of the fact un til it is called to our attention. The rocking chair, one of the greatest benefactors to our soci ety, is quietly dying without pub lic notice. With its passing we have seen the arrival of a new American social affliction, "nerves" or "jitters."

There has been no single insti tution in American life that has wielded a more powerful in fluence on behalf of democracy than the little rocker. It has served your family and mine well throughout the years. "Nerves" and "jitters" were unheard of when the tempo of the nation was set to the "rhythm of the rocker." It was an outlet that afforded complete relaxation. Nerves and judgments as well as men were sounder in those days. Neighbors were real neighbors after they visited and rocked awhile. No matter how great the storm, our silent friend the rocking chair —was always a pro tecting haven. Somehow, those precious hours between parent and child in the rocking chair have a way of last ing across the expanse of years it takes to make a lifetime. No child can ever forget the warmth of his mother's breast nor the beauty of her voice while being rocked to sleep night after night. Fathers can be remembered as having showed their greatest af fection in those twilight hours THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA BIG GAINS IN YADKIN FAIR Many Improvements in Va rious Classes of Exhibits Are Noted - FARM DISPLAYS SHRINK The twenty-fifth Yadkin coun ty fair which is held annually at East Bend, has shown big im provements in the various classes of exhibits this year. Officials of the fair say that the displays of the various departments are much better than they have ever been in the past. In the culinary department there were about twice the entries as in past years. The sewing department has shown the greatest gains with many fine single and club articles on display. The canning depart ment, fruit department and flow er section also showed improve ments. The fair closed Saturday night. It was only in the farm dis plays that there was a decrease in the number« of entries. Only two were entered this year. This can be attributed greatly to the trouble that one has to go to to prepare an exhibit of this kind. N. G. Hutchins, one of the fair officials, stated that outside of the decrease in the farm exhibits, all other farm displays such as wheat, corn, rye, and pumpkins, showed improvement. that seemed to have been created for rocking. The rocking chair has been the only place where complete un derstanding has been found be tween parent and child. The parent felt the obligation of guidance for the child which the child accepted without question. Many of the ills that have be fallen us as a people have come about because the older genera tion has not fully discharged its obligation to the young. This applies not only to little ones who love the experience of the rocking chair. It is equally applicable to the young men and women who are about to begin their careers as parents. More people should realize that our early years make us what we are, and therefore in large measure determines our chance for success in striving for what we want to be. Excuses for this negligence have been many, but the most common one has been "too busy." It should be properly stated as "too busy go ing around in circles." Efficient progress results from carefully thought out plans being properly executed by men and women of calm thought and ac tion. A little thinking to the "rhythm of the rocker" will make individual and national progress more efficient while adding a great measure of happiness to the lives of all of us. You will find no rockers in the halls of dictators. They know that the propaganda which is their life blood cannot influence a satisfied people. Many a wild eyed radical is to be pitied rather than condemned because he nev er had the advantage of the rock ing chair. Look back at the little rocking chair in a new light. Let us re claim it and gather for ourselves and our 'children the many happy hours, and the resulting happy years to be gained only through this great American institution.
