Is therg^any course map ped out for action? Or ?ball we just drift along like a rt.dderlesg ship, aimless and pur poseless, with no idea of making the most of our opportunities? Communities that go along', with toe current never get any place. They follow the Jine of least resfs ' <mce until they lose initiative and a desire to forge ahead. Then they b gin slipping, and once starred backward they move faster in that d'rection than they did forward. \ If we get careiess about the wel fare of the community, if we are satisfied to *iet well enough alone" ard unresistingly drag alon^_through tte year without ambition or hope of bettering our condition, there is eo hope of any advancement. - We a'e headed for the community grave * ill U.

"Marriage is entered into too light ly; it should be regarded as a sacred covenant rather than a civil contract,' Judge Gates said. "Care should be take? in selection of the person one marries. "It is high time we had a course in Marital Eroncmics in high schools U> teach the Mcredness, the duties and ] the-responsibilities of marriage." A check revealed that 76 per cent of the county's 9,113 divorce actions were brought by women. Aj increasing -tendency to name "other women" was shown.

The trail, which leads to the "Tahiti of their widowed mother, Mrs. Ida Rogers, is so steep and rough that the school bns cannot possibly get over it. In fact, for 2^4 miles down the almost per pendicular side of the mountain, the path is virtually unmarked and traversable only by very sure footed animals or persons. Every inch of the way is covered with sharp stones, so sharp that the feet of the five Rogers children ?have many times bedn severely cut pud bruised by them. In addition, there are three swift streams to cross and for about 100 yards a broad creek is part of the trail.

"All mountain peo ple' are good," she has told them, and they fear no harm from per sons. ? ClearedTorest The mother's story is one of equal fortitude. She was left not only penniless, but in debt when her husband died five years ago. First she had to struggle against the attempts of "kindly" people to send bet; children, to an orphan uge. "Then, together they started to work on,thelr 30 acres?wood land, except for a tiny garden.

" Many of^the oaks and chestnuts were 2^ to three feet through. But together they accomplished it and now they have sufficient land upon which to grow a large" part of the vegetables .they need' for their own use. Mrs. Rogers earns most of the little money she uses to support her family by tramping miles over the mountain each October and November pick ing the beautiful galax leaves.
