THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1931 Those who had purchased their spring finery in time for Easter had a chance to exhibit it in fine style last Sunday. An ideal spring day provided the principal topic for conversation. as memories were searched for an Easter when the elements were so favorable in the mountains. o The proposed plan of the Reliex Administration to spend future sums largely in the form of fertilizer, seed, etc., for destitute farm folk, is being greeted locally as the finest move since the Administration undertook to care for those in distress. The new program enables an overwhelming percentage of relief families to provide for themselves during the growing season, and thus people who have been receiving direct aid will be able tc re-establish their independence in short order. o ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO (Morgan ton News-Herald) Progress is to some extent a mat- ; ter of comparison. Nobody living to- | day can remember a hundred vears; ago. but history records conditions \ which existed then. A. M. Loy, of; Shelby, has taken the pains to collect a dozen or more interesting facts; one hundred years old and publishes them in the Cleveland Star: One hundred years ago the banks in North Carolina had suspended payments, and nine-tenths of all the laud was for sale. The Governor in his inaugural address called North Carolina a counK _i.cu-."nviri' .1 amr. hy rh? honH /if ml. veisity, t.l:e land is worn out; real. estate has so depreciated as no! to possess a fixed value; people are emigrating from the State; manufacturing advantages are unlft-.proved; our schools and colleges are languishing front neglect." Governor Swain said it cost more to run a session of the Legislature than was spent for any other one thing. One hundred years ago, the politician? said there is too little lax on the rich and too much on the poor. The Governor declared that the main trouble with the State was Ignorance. About ore-third of the people eould not read or write. Tl;e University r.t Chapel Hill had 120 students. One hundred year? ago a newspaper published in Rutherford tor. eontained this advertisement: "Teacher wan Leu: will pay $200 a year for a man who can teach English. Rutin, etc. It is also desirable that he should understand vocal music." The property valuation of the State was $43,OOO.OCO, almost, the same as that of Cleveland County today. The first denominational college was chartered. Judge Gaston delivered the commencement address at the University and declared that slavery was the greatest evil affecting the South. One hundred years ago. Judge Hen aerson a:ea and Judge Etuffin became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The Legislature passed a bill to put on a new roof on the Capitoi at Kaleigh and the same year, just as the roof was completed, the building burned. One hundred years age the first free school in the State was opened in Johnston County. One hundred year! ago the "stars" fell and prayers were offered by people who never prayed.

Those who have attended tl meetings of the Parent-Teacher A sedation of the Boone High Scho ! have shown that they *re vitally I terested in their children and in the children's welfare. The question ari f es as to what can the individual < to. make the situation better lor tl | child. The burden of this article / be to show some of the things I hi have been done in a concrete way ai . what are some of the things that ca further be done to make our school better school and our community | better community. In the first place, cur picture sho operator here in Boone has offered select pictures of an educational nj ture provided we as parents and te; chers will co-operate in the selectio Xot only is this true, but Mr. Han by is bringing to Boone 011 his o\\ j responsibility pictures that are wbol some und uplifting for our childre j I do not mean to say that all show ( are nt lor our cuuaren to see?m circuit the picture show manager doc not have the choice of selecting a of the films?but T do mean to sa that the specially selected film3 at i worthy of the patronage of all c j our children of school age. | Last week Mr. Ham by busied hiir i self to bring Alice in Wonderland" t j the screen for our children to see. H : net only offered the show to the ehi dren at reduced, prices, but he g~av ; the schools fifty per cent of the pre j ceeds. This in turn will be spent fc books for the libraries. We hope tha the books we purchase will in tar be put on the screen sc that the chil i dren may see them. Jt is thus the we appeal to their aesthetic and aj | preciative lives and give thetn sorn j of the idaels that we hope to fix i i them. The amount received from th I show by the high school was $13.71 j Something might be said as to whe ther the children gained as muc from seeing the show as thev woul ha ye gai led had they been in sehoo This question can never be answerer accurately, but it is certain that th children need all of the types ot ex perieECe that would be involved i | a full and complete life. In this cas j the picture show is simply supple i mentmg what the school is attempt j ing to do. One other instance of helpfulnes i was that done by the Worth Wnii I Club of Boone. On their own initio I f i\7A Htic ffMiim iv> n<mv>A brought to Boone a very clear., whole soma play and presented it on thro , oiuerent occasions tor tee people < Boone and vicinity. This play wa not only worth while in itself, but i afforded many people an evening <1 harmless pleasure, gave opportunll for the development of local tulen and enabled both the high and eh ' mentary schools to increase and er ! rich their libraries. Other instance I could be mentioned, but the write PIV. tIGii vUITe IG GGGIG e/rjG^ mwv a?v -3?-.?ui like to suggest to the parents an patrons of Boone High School. If we. could produce situations fc j our children of varied nature durin j their waking hour*, we could be ai i snred that they would keep out < i crime and that they would leurn t dc the things that they should <3 ; hetter If we assume then that t? J school is creating these situations f< the children and that they sometimi I go astray when they are not in tl ; school. would it not pay us as putroi i to mcraese the leng th of the scho year? One of the definite requisit< of the standard accredited agem known as the Southern Asscciuti.it of Colleges and Secondary' Schools that a secondary school shall opera I nine raoniQ!. mis is the greatest hii j drar.ce at the present time to Boot ! High School's entrance into this a; jsociation. and incidentally this is 01 i of the ambitions of the principal < J Boone High School that this hig school become a member of this a sociation. Now to meet this requisite will CO; the taxpayer aoine money. The a] proximate co3t for operating tl school an additional month would 1 $1,100. This means that it would co ; the taxpayer about $4.30 per chi i for the additional month or aboi ! 22c per day per child. This amoui i would include supplies, transport ! tion, instruction, cafeteria service at I all the other services that are no I being extended to the children. Yoi principal respectfully invites discu sion of this suggestion pro and co i It seems to him the experiment wou i be worth while attempting. rSPECIALNOnCES I FOR SALE-?A beautiful mahogax i piano just iike now.

Incidentally adults could spend time there with 10 prufit. This might be undertaken as s, a chief project, and the value to be derived from it in every respect is incalculable. 'r Talk these suggestions among yourselves, parents, and stockholders in your schools, and let your final deV; cision be prompted by the need of ' the children. at In the citizenship study that is bel!l ing made at the high school the defa inite attributes of character as exa pressed by the faculty and student body have heen compiled. At the next w meeting of the parents and teachers t? it is hoped that we may he able to :l" ascertain those attributes that are ' most desirable from the standpoint " of tho parents. At tho culmination of the study the report raid wil! be re'n vamped so as to show what progress c- is being made by each chiM in each a- attribute monthly. Definite means for s attaining these desirable attributes ? aiv also being worked out by the facuilv. 11 ' > VAL1.E CKl'CIS NEWS e Dr. and Mrs. R. O.

SYMPTOM Most everybody knows that a cough 'e is not a disease?it is mereiy a syrnp^ torn of a disease of the air-passages. ?. Coughs are of many varieties, due to the character of "the irritation.

It may be nursed into recovery by observing the strict rules of staying in, keeping the body and feet warm, and taking slimulat-j ing hot drinks at bedtime. Sweat it j out?and don't venture out into cold wind, or over sloppy ground until you have fully recovered. But watch the cough that "hangs on." There is nothing more treacherous. The cough that persists. Consult your doctor and follow his advice.

If j the cough is loose, don't waste time with expectorants; something to quiet the spasms of coughing is needed.
