MARCH 19, 1934 The Americiui Legion The Oxford PuWic Ledger^ edited by our dd friend, Tom Johnson, and published by «oe of our Wilkes boys, A. N. Critcher, eatried a splendid editorial dealing with . ^ the American Legion in its Friday issue. TRiis tribute to this veterans organization , .i is deserved and it gives us pleasure to re produce it: , ‘The American Legion is this week cele hrating its 15th anniversary and as the ■ forces of former soldiers grow older, the ability of the Legion and its usefulness be- cmne more apparent. “The Legion developed from a small or ganization of men who banded themselves together at the close of the World War for the avowed purpose of continuing a mu tual friendship. It is doubtful if the more foresting of the number ever thought the Legion would grow into world-wide organziation, destined to play an import ant part in the later life of the soldiers. *The Legion has concerned itself large ly with hospitalization of disabled service men. It has grown into an organization that has considerable " political strength, though politics is not the prime consider ation of- the organization. The Legion Auxiliary, which constitutes the kft flank of the ranks of former soldiers, is doing a splendid work for the families of dis able soldiers. “Veterans of the World War have an or ganization of w'hich they have reason to be proud. Tha veteran who denies himself the right to participate in Legion activities is making a great sacrifice.’’ Looking To The Future This w-eek, starting today and ending on Saturday, has been set aside as a challenge to all citizens, particularly the young. It is officially known as Financial Independence Week. Special weeks are nothing new. Appar ently there are too numy of them. But no man who takes cognizance of Financial In dependence Week and makes an effort to IHofit by his study will ever regret that such a week has been set aside. In order to obtain financial independence, one must pause for a look into the future. Speaking along this line, the Elkin Tri bune has the following to say: ‘There are various ways that we may provide for our “nancial future, but none of them include the habit of spending as we go. The building and loan associations, ttie banks, the insurance companies, all rffer a channel through w'hich we may ■ ~ place an occasional surplus dollar against t^t future day when our earning power will be gone. “The weekly deposit in the building and loan association has been a godsend to many families, who have often practiced • tiirift and economy to meet these pay ments. Homes have been built, children have been educated, and funds accumu lated to bring comfort and peace that would not have been in evidence but for these. The savings department of banks are in the same class with the building and loan associations. "It has often been said that life insur ance h^ taught the nation the meaning of thrift, but life insurance has done some thing else, especially during the past few years, of equal value. It has shown the average citizen what sound investing is and what isn’t. It has shown him the dif ference between investment and specula tion The lesson has been expensive and painful, that genuine investments seldom - V pay 20 per cent dividends, and that money , , ja not doubled over the week-end with ^T^i^'aafety. *Ldfe insurance policies are more and m- Do yoB Imow your govemmOTt'alpha bet?

The Book the first line of which reads, “The Holy Bible," and whicli contains four great treasures. By BRUCE BARTON THE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTV In the Psalms are love, hope, despair, the bit terest of sorrow, the most exultant delight, sweet affection and deep hatred, confession of sin and joy in forgiveness. But the major note is optimistic and believing. David wrote many of the earlier p.salms, and there are some that grew out of his personal ex perience; but no one man makes a hymn book. Some psalms were written hundreds of years after his death. The man who wrote By the rivers of Babylon, there w-e sat down, yea, we went, when we renv-mbered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. that man gave a page of vividi autobiography that dates itself five hundred years after David. When another .singer wrote: 0 God, the heathen are come into thine in heritance: thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat into the fowls of the heaven, thus telling of a time when Jerusalem was cap tured in a bloody battle followed by a massacre, and the temple was defiled but not destroyed, w? know that the psalm was written in the times of the Maccabees. It may be that a thou.sand years separates the oldest of these songs from the lafest. 1J - - ’1h- ■ ' ■ ^ - ■ Irnttasy Wrltttn iBr Mr*. Sfwqw more being sold, purely because of the in vestment angle.

The investor in life insurance finds it his best guarantee for an income or an estate. - -■ ^"The depression has taught the Ameri- e&n people this valuaWe lesson, and it is ■ fpeouraging to note that as more jobs are ipi^ided, and the general purchasing pow er rises, concrete evidence is appearing in life sales figures to prove that the lesson isn’t easily forgotten. Tt is right and proper then, that during liie coming we^, we should have a talk -with oar banker, or the building and loan senary with a view to preparedness for the futuro.

If, in addition to this, you woujd like to pick three others as a part of your children’s education, you will be pretty safe if you follow the number nine—the nineteenth; the ninetieth and ninety-first- •Moses is credited with the ninetieth—the no ble chant of an old man, who, sesing his own generation disappear and a new generation rise up to take its place. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or even thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlast ing, thou art GoA . . . So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. ^ The nineteenth acclaims the firmament and the moral law: Th" heavens declare the glory of God; and the fii-mament showeth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. The ninety-first is a majestic confession of faith. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and ray fortress; my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pesti lence. There are two kinds of fiavy, says an expert.'

The first Horton to settle in the United States came from Eng land in 1633 and settled in Con necticut and Long Island. The family still cherishes a Bible brought by the first member of the- family.
