In the United States only 55 per cent of the population enumerated in the Census of 1930 were more than 21 years old. Seventeen years ago the World War began, resulting in social and economic upheavals so widespread that it is fair to say that since 1914 no part of the world has returned to its former norm al conditions. More than half of the people of this country have never had any conscious e.xperience of the world that older folk knew and lived in. It is hard to teach the young to see through the spectacles of the old. Men and women of mature age look back to a background totally outside the ex perience of youth. Young people who are now arriving at voting age have had no contact, since childhood, with anything b u t economic depression. Since they were fifteen or so they have heard little from their elders but moans of anguish over vanished prosperity, a prosperity which, .so far as the young are concerned, is entirely mythical; they never experienced it. It is not to be wondered at that young folk are easily led into belief in eco nomic and social experiments which older ones deprecate as impractical and unworkable. We don’t know what any body can do about it; we are not sure that anything ought to be done about it. It’s their world, and they have to learn from their own experience. And maybe, somehow, they’ll find ways to make it a better world than the one upon which the old folks look back with longing and regret for the “good old days.’’ Cows and Cash Income When the price of butterfat exceeds 30 cents per pound agricultural author ities agree that farmers can realize a substantial profit from selling milk if the proper management is used. There is no use beating around the bush. Dairy farming will be a failure to the man who enters it blindly and in vests lots of capital without careful spending and plenty of toil. We do not advocate that Wilkes county farmers make a grand rush of buying cows just because butterfat has passed the thirty-cent mark. That would be folly unless he is prepared to feed them in the manner approved by dairy specialists. He should raise his own herd. He may have to buy a few good blooded animals for a starter and the increasing of his number of cows may be slow but he will find that after he has grown them that he does not have such a large investment and that he can be gin to realize a substantial cash profit. There are four essentials in successful dairy farming: , , ^ 1. Get your herd of milk cows to the desired number Avith as little invest ment as possible but always keeping in mind that only good cows pay divi dends. , ^ , 2. Preparing good pastures for sum mer grazing. . , r • * g Growing your own feed tor winter use. tached dairy farming takes many hours of honest t6il each week. It is not a OI UUllCSI. vvit , ,v bonanza but a sound proposition to the * fanners who have been hard pressed ^”3* to make ends meet. * Approved dairy barns for housing cows and keeping dry feeds and the construction of trench silos for storing sila^o. These are important and make for success. However, there is a by-product of dairy farming that is almost as bene ficial as the cash income and that is the resultant improvement of farms by keeping cows. If a farmer rightly keeps and cares for a small herd of six cows he can improve two acres of his farm every year and within a few years can have fertile fields where it was once "too'poor to sprout peas.” Like everything else with success at- Recent statistics show ' that86*000 ‘';t>eople were, killed by eutoraobi^ in ' this country-in the past year. Of course "the number killed on the highways by autos has increased from year to year' but the rise of 16 per cent in 1934 was unparallelled and fearful, especially in view of the fact that automobiles and highways were constructed more safe ly than ever and with less excuse for ac cident in the hands of intelligent peo ple. It is well estimated that more than nine tenths of these accidents were due to the fault of the driver. There are many who would pass laws requiring regular inspection of motor vehicles but as we see it that would be a waste of time. There is a growing group who are favoring a driver’s licensing law and perhaps such a measure would not be amiss if we could have anything like assurance that the law would not be come a tool for an end and that it would be enforced with the strictest merit and without the faintest trace of partiality. There are still many places where anybody may drive a car, whether lic ensed or not. Then, every licensed driv er should be required to carry his lic ense with him at all times, and every accident involving violation of traffic rules should be noted on the license by a police officer or other authority. Aft er three or four such citations, the driv er’s license should be suspended or re voked. In case of a death due to a motor driver’s negligence there should be prompt, swift and severe punishment, and permanent revocation of the driv er’s license. As long as they feel that they can get away with it, irresponsible boys and girls will drive their cars recklessly and men who have had one drink too many will take chances on the road, en dangering not only those in their own cars but everybody else on the high way. The drunken driver is not such a menace as the driver who has had a few drinks but is not actually intoxi cated. Nothing calls for such complete, instantaneous coordination o f eye, brain and hand as driving a modern high-speed automobile over a smooth, paved highway. That coordination is lacking under even a moderate alco holic influence. Control of road accidents and an end to the slaughter of a hundred persons a day, one every fifteen minutes, is a mat ter of adequate policing and strict en forcement of rigid laws and regula tions. If the states will not do it the Federal Government must undertake it. It would cost plenty of money, but motorists are so used to being taxed that they probably could stand a little more. It may be necessary, however, for scientists to get to work on a machine that would measure accurately just how much devil there is in a driver’s mind in order to know whether or not he should be risked with a drivers lic ense. In his mind is where the trouble lies and it would take quite a difficult examination to find just how far- he could be risked on the road. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN i*rrrER’.s great 'o.\fes.su>.\ Lesson for .January 13th. LiiUe 9; 18-26. Golden Text: Matthew 16:16. It would be difficult to exaggerate the im portance of Peter’s confession chosen for our Golden Text. “You are the Christ," he cried, "the Son of the living God!” This acknowledge ment of Jesus as the Messiah is of crucial im portance iu the gospel narrative. For there is reason to believe that the Messianic secret was shared by the Master with His disciples for the first time here at Caesarea Philippi. In confessing that Jesus was God’s Son Peter brought into the open what hitherto had been a closely guarded mystery. Peter and the rest of the twelve had been approaching this conviction for many months. They had not listened in vain to the strange words of their beloved Teacher. As they heark ened to His sayings and parables they felt in creasingly sure that He must be the greatest of men, even that Messianic Prince the chosen people of God expected. How grateful was the Master for this brave, outspoken confession! “Blessed are you," He responded. “But I tell you. your name is Peter, a rock, and on this rock 1 will build my church." What did Jesus mean by "this rock’’? The two great wings of the Christian Society, Gafhnlic and Protestant, differ fundamental ly in their interpretation of this phrase. Cath olic theologians maintain that Peter himself is the rock, and they canonize the apostle as' the founder of their great communion. Peter is regarded as the first bishop or pope of the Roman church. Protestant interpreters, on the other hand, consider Peter’s confession as tho rock. The church, according to the Reformation tradition, was built on Peter’s avowal of Jesus as the Christ. But there is a sense in which Peter himself is the rock, for he was the first of the apostles to make this confes sion, and the leader of that little band that flowered into the church of the living Christ. .NKW^NailBSB,^ 'Vi^shingtoD, Jan. .7. (Auto caster).— The > program the Administration desires, bnt which may be modified in many respects before Congress gets through with it, is beginning to take form. So are the plans of the powerful bloc in Congress, some of which have ideas which do not tally with those of Mr. Roosevelt. There will be a lot more give- and-take between the Executive and the Legislative DepartmenU of the Federal Government than there was last season. There will be compromises on both sides, and much less of the appearance, at least, of a supine Congress taking orders from the White House. But the smart observers here who know* what the Presi dent wants and what the temper | of Congress is on many import ant topics, look forward to ulti mate legislation which will, in the main, tally with the Presi dent’s wishes, although there may be some loud and bitter de bates before it is all accom plished. They also anticipate that none of the projects which do not have the White House 0. K. will be enacted, with the excep tion of the immediate payment of the soldiers’ bonus. Congress is prepared to go over the President’s head on the bonus matter; but Mr. Roose velt has proved himself more than once in the past as smart a .politician as any on Capitol Hill, and it is not to be assumed that he has given up the effort to stop the bonus issue. He may find a way to do that, in spite of the powerful influence of the veterans’ group. Early Labor Test The labor group will face a trial of strength in the session, it is expected, in the effort to force the compulsory 30-hour week through. This is one of the items on which a compromise is expected. The labor situation j under the National Recovery Act | is also scheduled to come up for Congressional review. Neither | labor nor employers is satisfied j with the way in which the fam-1 ous “Section 7a” has worked out. The whole NRA is to be re vamped, beyond doubt. Whether organized labor will get more or less out of the process remains to!

Back of this is a voting strength far greater than that of the veterans or of organized labor. TTiere are six million widows over 60, besides about 4,000,000 other persons. Some form of old age insurance, thought probably not in the form of a direct Federal grant, is likely to be adopted. It prob ably will be administered by the Federal Government, but the fund will be made up of percent ages deducted from wages, con tributions b y employers and grants by states. If it runs to more than $30 a month for per sons over 65 some of the smart est observers here will he sur prised. Congress will fall in line with the President on the plan of ex tensive “work relief” as opposed to a direct dole. It will al.so en act any legislation necessary to enable the FERA to shift the burden of '"unemployables” to the states. These include some four million aged persons, wo men, chronic invalids and plain bums. The Home Owners Loan Cor poration probably will get anoth er billion dollars for home loans. It is not likely that Congress will pass or the President approve any project for paying of all depositors in all closed hanks in full out of Federal funds, but there will be a lot of agitation for that in both houses of Con gress. A lot of words will be spilled in Congress in the effort to put through various greenback in flationary currency plans. There’s little chance of any of them get ting to first base. Neither is it likely that the 16-to-l silver pro gram will be adopted, but there will probably be some new silver legislation representing a com promise.

Plans of leaders in both hous es of Congress contemplate more, different investigations of busi ness and industry than ever, with great accompanying publicity and political value for Individu al investigators. It looks now as it the War Department w’as go ing to be under fire, with an ef fort to make juicy front-page scandals out of Army coopera tion with private business enter prises in publir works. Members from the cotton states are telling the President that the only hope for the fu ture of cotton is George Peek’s international barter scheme. Oth er farm region members are urg ing the AAA to put a tax on every potato patch above a glv^. en size, to raise the price of spuds. Senator Glass is expected to head a vigorous fight against the confirmation of Marrlner Eccies as Governor of the Federal Re serve Board, and he is expected to have the backing of other Senators who don’t think well of the Administration’s apparent purpose t o subordinate the Comptroller of the Currency to the Federal Reserve.
