League Dies; Idea Lives The League of Nations, champion ed by the late President Woodrow Wilson after the first World War, is about ready to close up its affairs and bequeath its hopes to the new founded United Nations Organiza tion. The world situation is somewhat different from what it was. Now the i. United States vigorously supports ' the principle of international cooper ation, with President Truman pledg- ' ing unlimited faith and fullest sup 1 port to the new world organization. In 1918, President Wilson gave voice to the ame sentiments but his efforts , were bushwhacked by politicians in this country, including some who have 'given notable lip-service to the cause of a League organization. " The failure of the League may have been inevitable, inasmuch as it was the initial effort of modern na- ' tions to set up something of a world order, but the failure of the United ' States to give its active support and i' powerful strength to the League cut ' the ground from under its feet. ; Victory Gardens Help . Declaring that the battle against starvation "is just now reaching its decisive stages," Secretary of Agri culture Clinton P. Anderson insists that the need for Victory Gardens is -. greater in this first year of peace than any single year of the war. ti Ihe Secretary was addressing a Conference of workers interested in : stimulating Victory Gardeners to out do their wartime record, when, it is reported, 18,500,000 Americans pro duced forty per cent of the fresh vegetables of the country. Officials nay. that no matter how much is pro duced this year, there will not be a surplus in view of the immensity of the needs. . We pasB the information along to our readers because we have a faint suspicion that there may be a scar city of canned vegetables if the na tion, makes a reasonable contribution t prevent starvation that now threa tens millions of people throughout the world. In this event, the victory gard ener, who will presumably can some of his surplus production, will have things on his table, out-of-season, hat will not be available to those who depend upon their purchases at Jie grocery stores.

The ws into manhood or woman a rretent generatipn is a ' way for a new one thit '.' m Lind of world we leave Dcpcrtmsnt It is the right and duty of every child who is mentally capable to at tend school at least until he is 16 years of age. It is the duty of your Welfare Department to cooperate with the schools to see that each child does attend school regularly. When the principal of a school finds a child whose attendance is poor for other than lawful reasons he re ports that child to the Welfare Of fice. We make an investigation of the home and do what we can to get the child back to school. Only occasional ly do we have to bring parents into court to enforce them to send their children to school. Often when children are reported to the Welfare Department as not at tending school regularly, our investi gation reveals that there is a need for clothing which the parents are finan cially unable to supply for them. It is our responsibility to see that- these children have the clothing. Here is where local organizations are contact ed to help. Then there are cases where the parents of the children are not in terested in seeing that the children receive an education. Because of their indifference and disinterest the chil dren "play hookey" and often fre quent beer parlors and other places from which they should be barred. In such cases as these, after the parents have been notified of the law, the children and parents are brought into Juvenile Court and may be fin ed or imprisoned, or both. This is even true in the cases of blind and deaf children. A few years ago we made a visit to the home of an Old Age Assistance client, who had recently moved into the home of his daughter and her family. Dur ing our visit we noticed that the 10-year-old boy was blind. In the course of our conversation, we found that the child had never been sent to school, and the parents did not know that there was a place for edu cating him. Since he was quite norm al in every other way he should have been in school, and we talked with the parents about sending him to the State School for the Blind in Raleigh. We found that the father was indif ferent over whether or not his child went to school, but his wife was ac tually opposed to the idea. She felt it would be most' cruel to force an af flicted child like hers to leave the pro tection of his own home and go a long way off to live with strangers. We explained the law and the ad vantages of sending the boy to school, but seemed to get nowhere with the woman. Since it was alreadj so late in the school year we waited until we had a chance to take these parents on a visit to see for themselves the school where their boy would go. They talk ed with the superintendent and some of the teachers, and saw other blind children happily at work and play. This visit caused them to realize that in reality it was unjust of them to deny their son the education which the state had provided for him. The application blanks were filled out and accepted. Due to the finan cial circumstances in the home we pro vided clothing and transportation for this boy, and the school gives him regular room and board, books which are provided for the whole student body. Another service which we give your children is to issue work per mits for children under 18 years of age. The law requires that any child under 18 who works in any business whatsoever except in his own home or on the farm, must work only cer tain hours and under certain condi tions. These child labor laws were made to protect our children, and your Welfare Officer acts as an ag ent for the State Department of Lab or to help see that these hours and conditions are proper. The employ ment certificates for minors which are issued only at the Welfare Office is our method of seeing to it that your child does not work under in jurious conditions. These are two more services which your Welfare Department in Perqui mans County renders to any child who needs them regardless of the fi nqncial standing oef amily. to them. Wise parents know this. They lay their plans carefully, shaping as best they can the kind of world they want their children to live in after they themselves are gone. The question arises: "What can Barents do to create this better world T", They can do much. They can insure education for their children,, teach them wisely, guard them against un necessary insecurity, i ? .'rt' v ifvHerey in this community of forests and farmland, the future of tomor row's grown-ups is tied to the soil.
