The Ant and the Grasshopper
It was summer time and the sun
shone.
Out in the fields a little Ant was
very busy. He was picking up
grains of corn. The corn was for
him to eat when winter came.
A Grasshopper danced in the
grass near the Ant. He was not
picking up grain of corn. The
Grasshopper said to the Ant:
"Come and play with me. It is
summer time. Do not work."
But the Ant said to the Grass
hopper: "I am picking up grains
of com to eat when winter comes.
What will you have to eat in the
winter?"
The Grasshopper said: "This is
not the time to think about the

Girls' State Delegate
Evaluates Her Training
Miss Linda Salter, Beaufort, who
attended Girls State last month at
Woman's College, Greensboro, has
written Mrs. David Hill, president
of the American Legion Auxiliary,
thanking the auxiliary for financing
her trip to Girls' State.
Linda's letter follows:
I want to express my sincere
thanks to the American Legion
Auxiliary for permitting me, in the
words of Mrs. W. C. Alexander,
"the much coveted honor of be
coming a Citizen of Tar Heel Girls'
State".
The purpose of this program is
to train the young leaders of the
state for active participation in
politics. It fulfills this purpose ad
mirably. We attended lectures
each day concerning parliamentary
procedure, organization of politi
cal parties, political history, our
judiciary system,* and position that
politics play in our lives. There
were many more lectures concern
ing procedure in the state legisla
ture and how to select the best
political candidate for a job.
After each lecture, w* were al
lowed to put into practice the in
formation we had learned. We or
ganized into two parties, the Na
tionalists and the Federalists, fol
lowing a discussion of political
parties.
After being drilled on how to se
lect the best person for office, we
voted. Judge Hayes then lectured
us on our judiciary system, so we
organized our Supreme Court and
tried a case. This gave us a chance
to put into practice what we had
learned, and in such an interest
ing manner that we would never
be able to forget it.
Summarizing briefly, I would
classify into two parts the informa
tion 1 considered most important.
(1) Participate in government.
Vote in the primaries, as well as
in the general election. It is your
duty as a citizen to make and keep
the word POLITICIAN a clean
word.
(2) Careful selection of a candi
date. Study his past record. Study i
his platform. Sec if the issues you

TRAVELING
SALESMAN I
VIS, our familiar symbol bearing Southern')
industrial slogan Look Ahead? Look South! has
certainly "been around" since it was created
in 1943. Every year since then it has appeared
consistently in our advertisements in national
magazines and financial newspapers reaching
millions and millions of readers annually.
Why do we keep on saying Look Ahead? Look
South! bo many times to so many people? For
the same reason that we maintain an Industrial
Development Department that constantly and
aggressively seeks new industries for every
availablejilant location along our lines. It's good
for the Southern ? and good for the South
to promote and "sell" the industrial expansion
of the Southland in every way possible.
Here is proof In the six-year period, 1952 to
1968, there have been 2,066 major industrial
developments along the Southern alone. Hiey
represent an investment of almost $3K billion
and have created more than 119,000 new job
opportunities for workers here. Keeping our
"traveling salesman" busy selling the South
helps keep the Southland busy, tool
