THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14. 1935 The giant dirigible Macon goes down at sea Tuesday, good fortune having it that the eighty members of its crew were rescued. Less than two years ago a sister ship, the titanic Akron, carried seventy-three men to ] their doom. The experiments of this J country in lighter-than-air craft have j proven almost uniformly disastrous.! dating back several years ago to the ? tragedy of the Shenandoah, and ;n- \ eluding the destruction of a number j of small blimps which did not remain ! in the public recollection. Submarines! this ennutrv has nmilueeri hftv? been. a little more successful, but viewing j the peerless performances of the German people with these two devices, particularly dirigibles, one is wont to cast a bouquet away from American ingenuity just this one time. Appalachian College has its code of conduct for its students, which in turr. they term unjust as related to social contact, and an unusual sort of strike results, which at the time this is written, might appear to present a right knotty problem to the educational authorities. The men (teachers and prospective teachers) feel as if they should know how to deport themselves among the? women folk, and enjoy the pleasant and elevating association. The college thinks diffpnin1lv-?nii_hai-' tis'.nhliahcut o providing a rather strict sort of segregation, and there comes the rub. But it is without gainsaying that if these adult students can't be trusted to mingle in normal adult fashion on specific occasions, they shouldn't be entrusted with the tender tendencies of childhood following graduation. LEADS IN BANKING Word coming from the Federal Deposit. Insurance Corporation is that not only are all the State banks in North Carolina listed on the number one record of the Corporation, but that the banking system of this State now rates Number One in this respect in the list of forty-eight states The FDIC, it is understood, divides! banks into four groups, and a year ago 01 T:ne state's zm banks aim branches were on the number two ] list, six were on the number three list, thirteen were on the number four list, with the remainder being rated as number one banks. This record constitutes another "first" for Carolina, which comes as a source ot justifiable satisfaction to Commissioner Hood, bis associates, and the management of the various banks of the Commonwealth. ;"' H COLXiEOE EDUCATION We read a lot about highly educated college graduates who cannot get jobs nor make a living. Is this the fault of the college education, the graduate, or of economic conditions? I am inclined to believe that it is the fault of the college education and the. graduate, who perhaps has taken the college course in tho belief that it would afford him an easy way to make a living. There is no easy way to make a living* My father left home when he was sixteen years old to strike out for himself because he was a younger son and the old farm would not support the entire family. He had three | dollars, which was ail of the money j he had ever owned, never having spent a cent. His father gave him a dollar more and his blessing. My father wanted a college education so he went through Harvard. He did chores and janitor work, bought broken crackers from the grocer and got his college education. He was ..ever without a job, for he took whatever was at hand; later he became a liberal employer of men. College educations that create a thirst for knowledge are beneficial. College educations that unfit men for work are harmful.?Frank A. Gar butt in Los Angeles Times. College Students Strike (Continued from Page 1) the city caused much interest among business folks and passers-by. Ban- j ners emblazoned with "Free the ; Slaves," "We Want Our Rights," "A New Deal for Students," "Burn the Black-jacks" and "-we're Going to Win" were hoisted high above the ranks of the marching students, who kept time to the beats of a big bass drum carried at the head of the procession. Tne demonstration, however, was altogether orderly and there were no overt acts to cause criticism among the residents. WA THE BOOK .... the first line of which reads "The Holy Bible." and which con tains Four Great Treasures .... By BRUCE BARTON GOD DID XOT FORGET Only God did not forget Joseph, and his dreams, which had been the original cause of his trouble, were finally to bring him release and success. In a previous chapter we have recalled the famous dream of Pharoah and how. by its interpretation, Josoph was able to organize the food supplies of Egypt so that the abundant harvests of seven years were stored away against the famine of the succeeding seven years. All other lands were desolate, including the land where his father and guilty brothers dwelt, and at length j the brothers are forced to go to Egypt to buy corn; they open negotiations with Egypt's groat official. ; And Joseph knew his brethren, i but they knew him not. I ! His hour of revenge had come. For j several days he kept them guessing. ! He locked them up and after their release kept Simeon as a hostage until they should return and bring their little brother Benjamin with them. ; Thcv promised, and started off. Im| agine their surprise when they opened I ineir sacKs to una not merely coi n they had como to purchase but the | money which they had given in payment. They hurried on to Jacob, their father, and told him how the governor had received them and of his demand that they should bring little Benjamin when they came again. How they went again to Joseph, still without recognizing him; how they were received and entertained at his palace; the trick he played upon them to te3t their love for little Benjamin and so stir up the memory of their different treatment of the other little brother whom they supposed they had killed. So came the people of Israel into Egypt, saved by Joseph, whose name was potent enough to secure protection and provender for them, and for four generations. ATus the children of Tsiuci were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed mighty; and the land was filled with them. Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. A new king, a, new crisis, a new hero to meet the crisis; the next great character of the Old Testament, Moses. It was his part to take the children of Israel out of Egypt, as it had been the work of Joseph to save their live* by getting them in. And when the day of deliverance arrived, and they marched forth into freedom and the wilderness, the procession was led by the bones of Joseph. And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you (he was a dreamer, you see, to the end); and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you. Next Week: Moses. Cheese Factory at Cove Creek May Be Opened Tike ciicOSc manufacturing industry in Watauga County bids fair to be extended in a bigger and better way. In the past few weeks a survey of the number of farmers favorable to increased production of milk for cheesemaking arid the number of cows available has been taken. A sufficient interest has been manifested in the plan of the sponsors of the survey? that a central plant be established where lower costs of manufacturing and high, uniform quality can be produced. which will bring the highest market price. By this plan Cove Creek Cheese Factory will again assume its place?that of having been [the first factory for the manufacture of Cheddar cheese south of the MasonDixon Dine. The opening of the factory will mean more efficient methods of making and curing cheese, controlled temperature by refrigeration, and improved marketing facilities. This plan of reorganization of cheese business has been sponsored by the N. C. i State College Department of Dairy j Extension, and the Bureau of Dairy I Industry of the U. S. Department of j Agriculture. Members of both departments will be at Cove Creek High School next Saturday, February 16th, for a mass meeting called for 2 p. m. Four hundred letters have been sent out to | interested parties and everyone, both men and women, is urged to be present. Representatives of both the TVA and TVAC are also expected. ? Reported.

BIRTHDAY DINNER Editor Democrat: It is always a very great pleasure to visit in the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Mast at Valle Crucis, but to be invited to a birthday dinner with a goodly number of friends t.o honor, the 78th anniversary of Mr. Mast, makes it a doubie pleasure. Their whole life's work is largely spent in making others happv. and giving their friends a good time. At the close of the sumptuous dinner short talks were made by Mr. Mast and Rev. G. C. Graham. I j.ue iouowjng guests were present: Mr. Claud Mast and family, Mrs. Lily Moore, Rev. G. C. Graham and children, Mr. and Mrs. C. I>. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Mast, Mrs. Sarah Wagner and Mary, Mrs. Mollie Mast, Mr. arid Mrs. J. M. Shull. A, most pleasant evening was enjoyed by all present. After wishing our host and hostess many more happy birthdays, goodbyes were said and we took our leave for home. A feature of the splendid occasion was a recitation by J. M. Shull, "Gittin* Old," which follows: ? * ? Gittin* old?it ain't so bad. Best time now Tve ever had, Sittin* silent in the sun, Thinkin' of the work well done, Children married?me, Grand-dad? Gittin* eld?it ain't so bad!

During he recent Christmas season, i groups of farmers contributed gifts to the agents in cash, ears, food, clothing and other remembrances. These groups seemingly realized that the agentsliave worked day and night for the past two years especially, giving freely of their time and energy to aid farmers in their problems.

In every case, they have championed the cause of the farmers and have sought to do that which was best under the circumstances. The labor of these agents has been largely responsible for the successful administration of the AAA programs and for bringing new profits to land-owners. Farmers, on the other hand, have co-operated with the agents in a commendable way. which speaks well for the future of farming in the State. With the new programs planned for the future, it is felt at the college that no county can be without the services of these farm representatives.
