This was a dis tinct departure from the practice of forming busi ness mens clubs primarily for business purposes. The International Association of Lions Clubs, was found ed, in 1917., when an oganization meeting was held in Chicago. The first annual convention of the Inter national Lions Club was held in Dallas in October, 1917, with about fifty clubs represente' 1 . There are now some 45.. clubs. Most of them are in the U. S. A. ~ though thirteen foreign countries are represented when the international convention is held. The membership is now more than 150,000. The above picture was taken on June the 12, when Lions of District 31-A held their annual meeting, and this year they were the guests of the Black Moun tain Lions Club. There are thirty eight clubs in 31-A with a total membership of 1803 members. The aver age size of all Lions Clubs is approximately 33 mem bers. Havana Cuba, has the largest club with a mem bership of 1000. The Black MOUNTAIN Club was organized in 1935., and was reorganized in 1937. Since the reor ganization it has had a wholesome growth. On ac count of the limited dinning room facility the mem bership is limited to fifty members. It "is the only Mens Service Club in Black Mountain, and aside from its chief service— Aid to the Blind— it has at various times contributed to local projects, meetings etc. held semi- monthly.

With the tolling of school bells almost within hearing it is at this time that those who are chosen to lead and impress in the minds ot our children away of making and maintaining their own way is in great need. Certainly those who lead the young F. F of A has a tremendous job. The idea and thought expressed in the class room in a large sence governs the livelyhood which the boys and girls follows. Good whole some advice given them and an in centive to go ahead' are the products that make a good student of agri culture. Our government has ask us to raise all we can, to preserve the products of the soil, and this leads up to self preservation It is easyt o maintain ones self by seuring his needs from the mer chants shelf. Hut it takes staminia and forethought for those who go ahead on their own initative. There fore the seriousness of the thought should be brought out in the first few days of class. With agriculture rating as one of the big industries of the state, it is apparent that good schooling should be an objective. An incentive offered on several occasions was this; a large well known farm implement manufact urer put at the disposal of the agri cultural class one of the latest tractors,the students were allowed to pick to pieces and express any idea about the machine. They were given credits for me chanics, this applied to regular class hours. They were taught the fun damentals of mechanics by a rep resentitive of the concern. Con sequently when spring work opened up the young student had fair smat ering of the operating fundamentals of the implement. This being the case dad would lean toward the sons and chances are benefited himself and in the meantime made business for the manufacturer. On another occasion the agricul tural class was allowed to judge several Belgian draft horses They were invited by the owner to do this This gave him wide aquaintance in the county. When the boys decided to purchase a horse, naturally they turner to this breed. Another time they were allowed to judge a new type of high bred field corn, to dis_ qualify the bad and' point out the good. They were also allowed to judge a fine herd of registered Jersy Cattle all these things have a tendency to make a better agricultural student so when he is interested, certainly he has a better way of self preser vation. Lest we forget, those that till the soil and reap its harvest are the very backbone of our civilation and re serve an equal seat in the great ring of industry who put forth their ef forts to make this world a better place in which to live.

J. C. SALES .... FLETCHER. N. C. As we look back over the years of war I imagine that all of us are thinking about the terrible price in lives that we have paid in order -that we might have peace and that we may have a life free from fear. As I think of that I also am thinking w.hat is life? And then what shall we do with life? A great many of our wisest men have tried to define life. Burns said ‘‘O! Life thou art a lagging load. Along a rough, a weary road.” Samuel Johnson expresses this sentiment: “Life’s a short summer-man a flower, He dies —alas! How soon he dies.” .Sir Walter Raleigh said "Life is a tragedy.” Seneca said ‘‘Life is a war fare and a navigation” I>ut the philosopher Shakespeare said "Life is a miracle.” I like best what our own serious and spiri tual poet, Whittier, said: “Our lives are albums, written through With good or ill, with false or true And as the blessed angels turn The pages of the years God grant they read the good with smiles And blot the bad with tears.” What a mess some of us make of our lives. What shall you and I do with our life? If we fail to do something with life, life will do something with us. We live in deeds, not years. How shall we conduct ourselves and what shall our objectives be? Socra tes, the Greek, speaking like a Christian uttered these profound words: “The end of life -is to be like God, and the soul following God will be life unto Him, He being the beginning, middle and end of all things.” Life is the gift of God and His Son said “I am come that you might have POINTED PARAGRAPHS By WALTER ALLISON Hot dog! Philli]) is coming back! .... Good old Phillip! He used to be a big boy, but he looks pretty empty now. Everyone came to sec him be fore the war, and he was always there to greet them. All the folks liked Phillip be cause he was so wrapped up in his work. When dad came to see Phillip the boy would always have much in store for him. Mother never had to worry be cause she knew' Phillip would be there with the goods. Sonny never went to school in a barrel, because Phillip felt blue if the kids didn’t get denim. Sister liked Phillip because he hung around Oxford and knew how to keep water out of the pumps. Grandma thought Phillip was the stuff. He knew so many yarns. And grandpa went crazy one time when Phillip gave him a good fit. As the bus driver said to the folding door, “Phillip was going to town!” Then the war came along dur ing a blizzard and the lad had tough sledding. Things got so bad Phillip had THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1945 life and have it more abundant ly.” In the abundant life we will not have all sunshine or all good but we will find that “Life is a blend of the good and the bad A bit of the glad and a bit of the sad, A pinch of contentment, a time of unrest A dash of the worst aiuj a lot of the best. A little of failure, a little of luck A bit of disaster and plenty of pluck And who would live long must be willing to know Winter and sumcr and sunshine I and snow. Life is a mixture of laughter and tears Hope and despair are a part of the years Some one is born and then some body dies. Some one is foolish and some one is wise. Some one is false to us, some one is true. Now it is play and then tasks we must do. Who grows to manhood must learn how to take Joy with its laughter and care with its ache. Life is a blend of the good and the ill And we must bear what shall come by His will; There mist come tears to the brightest of eyes Care visits the rich and the strong and the wise. No one escapes when the rain pelters down; Today you may' smile; but to morrow may frown. So stand to your portion of sorrow and strife And know that it’s all in the battle called life.” the wind take the awning off to brighten up business.
