MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1984 Our Roads Situation With work in progress on highway 16, contract let for tiie Reddies River bridge and plans completed for the Hunting Creek road, we are beginning to think the state highway commission is going to sup ply all the spokes in the “wagon wheel of roads around Wilkes county.” Speakinf; for the people who live along the proposed North Wilkesboro-Statesville highway and the many others who would find the road convenient, we sincerely hope that the state highway commission can build this road within the next few months. Construction of the North Wilkesboro- Elkin highway, it is learned, has been held up because of a disagreement over the location. Surely those difficulties can be ironed out in order that a great portion of this county now not easily accessible to an improved highway can be served. Correcting Fire Hazards During the observance of "Fire Preven tion Week” questionnaires were sent to the residents of this city by the school children in an effort to gather informa tion on fire hazards. Of course, the aim was to remind the home owner or tenant to make an inspection leading to finding out whether or not his home is in danger of loss by fire. We commend the practice of insuring against fire loss, but on the other hand We fear that many are more careless be cause their property is insured and they have the assurance that the insurance ' company will pay them in case of loss.. If a person permits insurance against fire loss to lead him to carelessness he is simply “cutting off his nose to spite his face.” Insurance rates are based on fire loss. If the (loss is great the rates are high er. If there is little loss the rates will be amazingly cheap. Insurance is not a give-away plan. The insured will pay the loss collectively. Thus it is of still greater importance that fire hazards be corrected in order that insurance will cost less. To the peo ple of this city who made an inspection of the lumcs we want to add a voice in plea of elimination of fire hazards. Reduce the loss by fire and at the same time re duce insurance rates. Fewer fires will also mean a lesser tax burden in keeping up the fire department. In the rural sections where there is no fire-fighting equipment awaiting your call it is of especial importance that fire traps be destroyed and the buildings made as safe as is reasonably possible. Make an inspection of your home today. Now is the time when you will be using chimneys and flues that may not have been in use since last spring- It would not be amiss to check over these things and see wheth er or not the past months have added to the dangers of fire in the home and the possible wiping out, within a few minutes, of the savings of a lifetime. American People Won’t Stand Still By DOUGLAS GRIESEMER (Director, Public Information and Roll Call, American Red Cross.) The American Red Cross lives by its memberships. Although a semi-official status is given through its congressional charter, the Red Cross receives no money from the government. The funds which pay for the vast and varied activities are the membership dues that are collected each year in the period between Armistice Day and Thanksgiving, when men and women walk through business sections and resident districts of the cities and towns of all the 48 states in the union to enroll the members who for another year Will make up the American Red Cross. The Red Cross works through its raem- benfatpB. headtjourters, with the «q>ervison of servioe, axe loeated At Washington; for convenience of adminis tration branch offices are also established in St Louis and San Francisco. TBirty- seven hundred chapters, with 10,000 branches, form the machinery for the work throughout the United States and its territorial possessions. Four million members are the workers. These volunteer members are the ones who enable the Red Cross to maintain the great record it has made in the years when it has handled disasters like the mississippi valley floods, drought suffer ing in 1930-31, tropical hurricanes, earth quakes, fires, and the average of 80 lesser disasters that are recorded each year. When calls for disaster relief come it is usually without warning. Any telephone message may give information of an ap proaching hurricane, any Itelegram that is laid on the Red Cross desk may give the flash that tells of an earthquake or a fire or a sudden flood that will bring death and devastation in its wake. For the Red Cross to be efficient in answering these calls it is necessary that adequate resources be available. There can be no waiting for state or national governments to appropriate funds when immediate action is necessary to save lives. Red Cross funds are appropriated in advance, when the annual membership dues are paid, and they are kept in instant readiness for the demands the coming year will bring. It is a typical American characteristic that we are never content to stand still— we must always be moving ahead. If pub lic health nursing is available for only a small percentage of those who need it this year, American citizens want it brought to a good many more people next year; if the Red Cross service for war veterans; instruction in home hygiene and care of the sick, first aid and life saving, civilian home relief, the Junior Red Cross, have been indispensable factors in the lives of many communities the public wants them brought to all communities alike- This part of Red Cross work—both local and national— is likewise supported by mem bership dues. Through the highly successful direction of volunteer workers and the efficient management of funds Red Cross chapters last year reported activities that were of incalculable value in the communities where they served. The workers and the communities themselves hope that the membership roll call that begins on Ar mistice Day will result in more membgr- ship dollars for Red Cross treasurqi^, more volunteers for humanitarian Red Cross work. The Book the first line of which reads, ■'The Holy Bible," and which contains four ereat treasures. By BRUCE BARTON PAUL WRITES A MESSAGE The work was going well everywhere, even in Thessalonica! And they hoped Paul would come back. Eagerly Paul called for parchment and, with Timothy as a volunteer stenographer, he dictated a letter to sen4 back to Thessalonica. He told them how he had left with his two companions, but on reaching Athens had changed his mind and sent Silas and Timothy back: Wherefore when we could no longer for. bear, we thought it good to be left at Ath ens alone; And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellow-labourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you. It almost killed him to think that they might have forsaken their faith. But they had not: they were standing fast. But when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring great ly to see us. as we also to see you: Therefore, brethren, we are comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith; For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. So he dictated, fast as Timothy could write, and sent the letter by a messenger going north from Corinth. He put in sundry exhortations, a little doctrinal teaching, and started the mes sage forth on its eventful journey. He did not know that he had begun a new Bible. He never suspected that this impetuously composed first letter to the Thessalonians was to be the first volume in a new sacred library. But it was; and that is the way the New Testament began. He had to write a second letter to the Thessa lonians to answer some questions growing out of the first one. These letters were lent to nearby churches and copied and read to the cong^regations. Paul heard how widely they were used and so he wrote more and more. He had learned to supplement the living voice with the written page. If he were at work today he would not only preach • he would be a regular contributor to the press. After eighteen months in Corinth he went back to Jerusalem and gave account of his sec ond missionary journey. He had a string of new churches through Asia Minor, Macedonia and Greece. He had developed his method, and he was happy in the knowledge of a great suc cess. He learned that in Galatia, in Asia Minor, where he had established churches, he had been followed by fundamentalists who were telling the people that Paul was not really an apostle: that he possessed no real authority; that the good news was defective because he did not teach the Mosaic law. Greensboro, Oct. 24.—Enthus iastic Interest in the future of the schools of North Carolina was evidenced by the large group of men and women from all walks of life who gathered here Monday night as the North Car olina council on Emergency In Education and took stock of the schools, looking forward to an early Improvement. President C. Slake presided.'About 200 at tended. The national crisis in educa tion was discussed by J. W. Cam- mack, Jr„ Director of research of the Kentucky education de partment and secretary to the national organisation of superin tendents seeking Federal aid. North Carolina has one of the best bases on which to build an educational system of any of the states, but like others, it has forgotten the proper emphasis, he said. While Salaries have been reduced, standards of teacher training have been advanced. The school problem has not been dramatic enough to appeal, be cause schools have continued and not closed down, because teachers continued to teach for less and less. About $1,000,000 have been taken from North Carolina pub lic schools to preserve North Carolina’s credit, a laudible cause, but this has resulted In transfer of the sovereignty of the State to metropolitan banks, while the schools have gone down Into the valleys. Dr. Prank P. Graham stated. Salaries of North Carolina Teachers were already half the national aver age and have been cut more than the national average. Teach ers helped to preserve the credit of the State and now have the right to demand preservation of something no less valuable—its schools. North Carolinians will not be satisfied to stay at or near the bottom. When they know the facts, they will enlist for the battle to be waged in behalf of the children. Dr. Graham said. A program suggested by Sant- ford Martin, editor of the Win ston-Salem Journal, is that the State continue to support the eight months term and set aside a special fund to supplement funds locally voted, dollar for dollar, or at least a qUarter, thus encouraging local supple ments. He showed that 111,000 more pupils are now taught by 765 fewer teachers on funds nearly $10,000,000 less than six years ago, protesting against bal ancing the budget on the backs of teachers and children. Cloud of Locusts Lisbon.—Reports received here tell of a cloud of locusts which put the town of Lourenco Mar ques, in Portuguese East Africa, into complete darkness for 15 minutes. The swarm extended for over six miles, and the inhabitants were terrified that it might de scend into the streets. It was heard many minutes be fore it arrived, and the noise made by the insects continued long after they had passed. As an example of what Is be ing attained by the adult schools maintained by the FERA in Wilkes County, Mrs. Essie Hayes, a student of one of the schools In the Purtear community, has written a letter telling of her own progress in her efforts to team the fundamentals of edu cation. Below is reproduced the letter of Mrs. Hayes. Attention is call ed to the fact that it was written in a very legible hand; also that it is given here without any cor rections made from the original manuscript, “Pnrlear, N. C. Oct. 18, 1984 "To my friends of the Com munity School, I want to tell yon all how glad I am to have the opportunity of this school. I have learned a lot. I could not read or write my name. I did not know my letters whelt I begin taking these lessiona. Now I can work arithmetic. Mr. J. T. Nich ols sure is doing His best to learn bis students they all are trying to learn their best. I hope it will continue on. I feal like the people need this school. There are so many that can not read nor write. I think it is just fine. I can’t tell what I would take for what I have learned.—Mrs. Essie Hayes.’’ Although- a few words were misspelled, It is to be taken into consi-deration that Mrs. Hayes was unable to make a letter of the alphabet or read a line until she was taught In the commun ity school.
