THURSDAY. AUG. 31. 1939 THANKSGIVING President Roose celt's decision to advance the date of Thanksgiving by one week has been the subject of a great deal of pro and eon discuss: on for some time, and The Governor of North Carolina, is one of the object rs to the proposal North Carolina is to observe Thanksgiving on the last Thursday :n November <*s per ancient custom, and governors of some of the other states have indicated that their common wealths will do likewise. Accordingly it appears that tber?inay be no universal observance of any one Thanksgiving day tills year, that is, provided of course, ihat there arc those wh.> are mindful of tlic President's decree, E*ut since the observance of The day has been a national custom rather than a local practice, the duty of proclaiming the event is strictly a function of the nation's chief executive So unless the difference is settled, there is apt to be both a state and a national Thanksgiving day. Personal opinion lends itself to the national observance of Thanksgiving and the thvsidcntial proclamation .vil! be looked forward to.

THE it \I)I( VI.IS.M OF VOI'TM i Charlotte Observer) Somebody is always speasing from the platforms- or writing m the journals about the ''radicalism of modern youth." Modern youth :s r.o more radical than the old-age of today was radical! when it was in its youUxhood. Youth is always radical, and always has been. It will always be unless thr- miracle occurs by which young people can be bom old and gray-headed, It's the essence of the very rutf ire of youth to l>e radical as opposed, at least, to the conservatism which experience brings. We weary of hearing the reiterations about the fallacy as to the revolutionary flair of the younger generation today LINVILLE CHURCH Visitors to IJnvihe are impressed by the beauty of simple little All Saints Episcopal church, a beauty of setting, design and satisfying linAS This id rirti' "K^. ' at, as the architect was Henry Bacon, designer of the Lincoln Memorial. The church was built by Mrs. Walter L. Parsley of Wilmington, as a memorial to her sister, Miss Mary Savage MacKae, a staunch and loyal church woman who made her influence felt in Ldnville ir. the early days. Many memorials have been given b>* others to finish the furnishing and add to the completeness of the services. Among these are two given in memory of two lovely little girls of the same age?one the worthy and churchly altar given at the time the church was built, by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh MacRae in memory of their daughter, Dorothy, and the other the beautiful chancel window given by Major and Mrs. Stuart Cramer of Charlotte in memory of their daughter, Julia Baxter. Several lovely weddings have taken place in the church, which always lends its charm and dignity to the occasion. Prom the beginning, All Saints church has been a benediction to the community Those who gather there to worship led by the loved leaders who come to them, feel they are verily in the house of God.

The thing they say is that the present cirsis is a moral crisis, and that it can be solved only by application of moral principles to the world's problems. Disagreement begins when peopleask for the definition of 'morals.'' A course of conduct or line of action which seems entirely moral to one man -may appear to others quite immoral. Yet. the essentials of morality have been preached and taught for thousands of years by great spititual leaders, all of whom the world respects and one of whom the Christian world believes to have been the very incarnation of God. The reason why the well-known and easily grasped principles of morality have never been applied in hu man affairs is that they are hard medicine for men to take who are ambitious for power, for glory, for wealth, for wordiy security Gr for luxury. They delude themselves by believing: that such things are essential to human happiness. V * * REARMAMENT ...... MRA 1 have been lately in. California observing at first hand, both from without and from within, the largest and most widespread movement in modem times to bring the essential principles of Christian morality back as a living, vital force in human affairs. Moral Re-Armament?"MRA" as its followers abbreviate it?is a worldwide effort to change the world by changing the lives, and therefore the outlook, of the people in it. Started by the founder of the. "Oxford Group," Dr. Frank Buchman, less than a year ago, MRA has already teams of workers in sixty wuu/KFRS ana nus enlisted the support of the rulers and political leaders of many nations, who see in it one possible solution for national and international problems. Laterally like an army with banners a thousand men and women from ail the world descended upon California in July, and from the Hollywood Bowl to the Treasure Island world's fair, stirred the whole Pacific coast to a new realization that all our world problems arc human problems and therefore moral problems. Within a month, thousands in California had joined the hundreds of thousands of men and women else, where in the world. Their lives had WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EVER THE DOCTOR Tells the Story Bv \V. II. Aii?h)iil?augh. M. P LOCKJAW Tetanus, or lockjaw, a disease almost who ; v preventable, is today on ! the increase, due to a lack of knowe?[gQ cf its seriousness on the part of the laity. Xr the days when Xapoloon stalked nbou*. Europe with his army, a majority of the wounded succumbed to tetanus because the missiles of warfare drove cloth, irty. rusty iron and other debris into the wounds, and i; was the Little Corporal s surgeon, j Larry, who described this disease which is tyweal of the tetanus to-J day. That ?ockja*?- is preventable is prover. by the work ('.otic during1 the Worid War whe there was but 0.1 IT per cent of this dreaded disease ..rr.cnp; 2,fj$2.142 wounded British soldiers. find only O.OOOS per cent occurring among 1 237,500 victims of industrial accidents It happens more frequently among the male sex. because of their dangers to exposure. It is more frequently encountered among children thau adults, probably due to their playing in the dirt and among rusted iron which has been cast off. And it harvp- : with greater frequency in the s >uth than the north. The nv.tomobile. with its various metal parrs, shaking nist off along J the roads it travels, means that persons hurt in accidents due to these < : '-vyarsccs account for much of the increase of lockjaw among patients. Tin- tetanus bacillus was discovcrj ed in 1S85 by Nscolaier. and an anti i toxin was discovered later for this ; disease by Kitasato ami Bearing Ln 18P0 arid is today used extensively as a prophylactic therapeutic measure. In a series of 813 cases of tetanus, Dr. Graves found that fully 50 per i eynt were caused by splinters and I naU wounds. Other types of wounds. ! such as lacerations, abrasions, inj cised wounds, wadding or shot from ( firearms, dirty or soiled clothing or earth corning in contact with an open i cut may cau^e the infection.

This picture comes to Boone very early, playing in the same week it plays Charlotte. One of the greatest adventures known to man is this immortal story of the world's greatest newspaper nun and the missionary-explorer Livingstone. A clean, classv nicturr- ?*inn vi/>t? 1 and a GirV with Dearnia Durbin, comes to the Appalachian 011 Thursday. This is not a new picture nut has not been in Boone before.

Stripped of all theological and sectarian dogma and doctrine, these principles of the Oxford Group are the essential principles of all religions. The Group has no organization, no creed, no doctrines other than those. It asks none to change his church affiliations, but rather urges all to help bring fresh spiritual strength to the church.
