aecTiQiy two PAGE SIX THE RUNAWAY By JOHN D. McCBEADY School starts again. Millions this month, from kin dergarten to college, are looking forward to the days ahead. And some grown-ups, watching the procession, are looking back ward, with keen regret, saying “It might have been.” | Marjorie, a middle-aged wife and mother, often thinks of a day when she was seventeen. She was one of those who chafed under the discipline that goes with edu cation. ■ She was attending at the time a church boarding-school for girls, founded years before by her fa ther, a minister then serving in that community. | In the school was a supervisor, a Miss Ford, who imposed penal ties for the slightest infraction of the regulations. To the minister’s daughter she seemed a cruel ogre; and she rebelled, though in vain, against her despotic rule. When she wrote home to her parents about it they urged her to con form. “Give cheerful obedience,” they counseled. “Whatever the regulations, they must be good and necessary. Graduate at Cam den Hall and we will then ar range for you to go to college.” Marjorie promised to try; but in wardly she had not surrendered to her foe. Then came the month of No vember and brought the decisive battle. It happened that in the days vhen Camden Hall was estabLsh d, a prominent young woman in he congregation of Marjorie’s ither had married a man of vealth who later become a United States senator. Two miles from he school they built a palatial home, regarded as the handsomest in the state. Mrs. Breckinridge, the senator’s wife, called to see Marjorie soon after her arrival, and two days before Thanksgiving I Day invited her to spend the holi-j day at her home, “Spring Hill.” I Marjorie was thrilled—so much] so that she even felt kindly to-1 ward Miss Ford as she applied for permission to accept. Permission was flatly refused. A recent violation of the rules sealed Marjorie’s fate; she was “campused”—doomed to remain on the premises of the school the entire week-end. Thanksgiving Day dawned crisp and clear. At Marjorie’s home, forty miles from Camden Hall, Marjorie’s mother, assisted by an old Negro servant, was preparing a savory meal for the happy oc casion. Suddenly she looked up frcm the kitchen table, aware of a presence beside her. There stood Marjorie, smiling somewhat uncertainly. “Well—•?” said her mother, and the word had a rather ominous sound. “1 just came home,” explained the girl. “Miss Ford refused to let me accept an invitation to the Breckinridges’ for dinner today, and I simply couldn’t stand it any longer.” “Very well . . . Take your things! upstairs. I had planned to send you to college, as you know, if i you held out. That plan is now' a thing of the past.” As Marjorie climbed the steps she did not regret too keenly herj mother’s decision. If college was a thing of the past, so was that hateful Miss Ford. Yet as she: locked at herself in the mirror! she wondered just a little . . . Several years went by. Mar jorie graduated at the local high school and went to Florida to visit a relative. There she met a New Englander on vacation, who fell in love with her. After eighteen months they were married and he ||Stt2 jWWMrfrfT * in , IB m JHr;'; SPACESTACK No smoke stack, this.

Harvard University was | less than a dozen miles distant, i The friends she met were almost all college-bred men and women. | The region in which she was to spend the rest of her life was l probably the most highly cultured region in the whole United States —and she without a college de gree. Marjorie took her situation philosophoically. But one night, after telling her husband the, story related here, she remarked] with a rueful smile, “I wish l| had seen, back there on that, Thanksgiving Day, that I was not I punishing Miss Ford, but myself I only, by what I did. I wish Ij had relaized that in running away j from school I was running away' from my future happiness.” Weekly Devotional Column ■ Bv JAMES MachPIVZTR | “And God created women ...” The above text does not appear in the Word of God, but is the title for the latest in a seeming ly eternal series of obscene, bias-, phemous movies. For some rea-j son or other the money-hungry j parasites of Hollywood delight in profaning the name of God in | their smut, apparently cons deringj the grim warning of the Bible' (The Lord will not hold him guilt-1 less that taketh His name in vainj —Exodus 20:7) is a huge, prepos-| terous joke. Someday they w-ill j discover it isn’t. For they shall have to answer! to Almighty God for this disre-j spcctful use of His Holy Name as well as for the content o. - their nasty filth. Here is the way some of their films have been advert is-1 ed in daily newspapers: “And God created women, but the devil invented Brigette Bardot” (I think tnat is the most profane sentence I have ever read, it seems to say, the devil can do a bet er job than C.' d. Let those who are res., on-j -libit forth s road Matthew 12:3dj. | “Lewd and immorai;” “invading' virgin territory not previous’y in- j vaded by movies;” “violates j many taboos;” “unshamed peo-i pie;” and so on. So filthy are the| ads I shall have to wash my type writer out with soap after having! quoted them. There is also a certain cynical l hypocrisy in the movie adyertis- j mg. The trash is billed as “Adult j Entertainment.” but youngsters are allowed to attend if they ’lave j the money to buy a ticket. One! movie was actually billed: "For adults and mature teen-agers.” It it quite obv ms that the “adult only” foolishness is merely a come-on to appeal to morbid minds. • 1 Some may be amused at the in- 1 crease in f.lms like this, and their appearance at theatres formerly more or less respectable, but they do not realize their effect on im pressionable children and teen agers . Neither do they realize what a black eye the movie indus try is giving the United States throughout the world. When I WANT TO TALK TERMS?

NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 11. 1931. was overseas during the second | world war I discovered that most Europeans believe that all west | erners are cowboys, that everyone | in Chicago is a gangster, and that j the average Southerner walks j around barefoot, and hangs Ne i groes from lamp-posts for recrea tion. (Hollywood also seem to 1 have convinced some Americans that these distorted views are the truth). At first I was amused, but since then I have realized that the unreal picture of America others derive from Hollywood movies is the bas s for all the misunderstanding and hatred against us in the world today. Some years ago the House of Rep resentatives’ Committee on un- American Activities discovered a number of commun sts in top po sitions in the movie industry. There probably aren’t any there now, but the movie industry is stiil doing more to help the cause of Russia than any other single factor. What care the greedy producers of these filthy movies that their hellish fare is undermining our morals, and is responsible for the rise in rape and adultery, so long as it means a few more dollars in their pockets? What care they that they are giving their country a black-eye throughout the world, so long as their wallets are fat? May God have mercy on them, and on us if we continue to sup port them by offering our chil dren and young people as sacri-, fices to their depraved produc tions. _____________________ I Selective Cutting Pays For Owners Os Timber Too often trees are cut when they are making their 'most rapid increase in value. Sometimes this is justified by high market prices or by the own er’s need for cash, says R. S. Dou glass, forestry specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Ser vice. J “Frequently, however, the own er takes a real loss by cutting the trees too soon.” Douglass added. "Often a pine that is cut for pulp wood or small sawlogs would have doubled its value in 10 years.” 1 Douglass also points out that selective cutting brings in cash returns every few years, keeps the forest growing at top speed, and allows larger harvest when markets are especially good. The may f.nd it difficult at first to determine which trees are ready for cutting. But with help from a forester and a little practice he can soon do a good job. I “The timber owner should re gard his timber as a crop to har vest frequently,” Douglass said.' “By selective cutting he can har vest high-value sawlogs every five to 10 years and at the same time keep fast growing young trees to replace those cut.” CCRAPEAKE NEWS L.

These short-changing prac tices are, in effect, stealing. The Bible, to those who take the trou- ble to study it, suggests princi ples which we can accept as a standard for daily living in the truest sense of Christianity, j “Thou shalt not steal.” (Exodus 20:15.) This commandment goes 1 back into the early days of hu man history protecting the indi vidual’s right to h s own proper ty. “ ... if your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, you shall maintain him.” (Leviticus 25:35). In every community there are many peo ple who have been reduced to poverty, and do not seem to be able to provide for themselves as adequately as others among us. However, many of them are des titute because of net having a chance, or because of circum stances beyond their control. What can the Christian com munity do to give real assistance to the poor and destitute in that i particular community? The laws! of the Old Testament place upon us the responsibility to "main tain” our brother. It should notj be hard for the practicing Chris- 1 tian to find away to help those of his fellowmen who are less for tunate than himself. A lasting and vivid illustration of this con cern of Christian-minded people for the welfare of the less for tunate is furnished by the strug gle that accompanied the passage by the British Parliament of the, first laws to protect labor. The ndustrial revolution—which re-! mlted from the widespread use, if machinery for manufacturing—j brought great suffering to the la-1 borers, including women and lit- 1 le children.

Some times women had to crawl on their hands and knees pulling heavy cars of coal—work which was better suited for beasts of burden. Many people who called themselves Christians pitied these unfortunates. But other Chris tians, under the leadership of Lord Shaftesbury, organized to prevent this injustice by having laws passed forbidding such prac tices. This is practical Christian ity. In the spirit of love express ed by Jesus we should all work to abolish the injustices of our economic life. Such efforts are not responsibilities that have been added to the teach ngs of Christ. They ARE part of his teachings. Wp can easily see in the gospels how Jesus was touched with com passion at the oppression of per sons or groups. He strongly de nounced those who put rents so high that poor persons could not afford to pay them—could not af ford to meet a basic need.
