THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1935 The way the baitkers went for that federal bond issue of $900,000,000, you’d think some South American country had offered it.—Bay City (Mich.) Times. To The Debaters Here is a word of public congratula tions to the debaters who represented their schools at the state-wide debate in Chapel Hill last week. You made good and brought hoior to your schools, your community and your selves. And to those who tried for places on the teams, or who were eliminated in the finals: you have no reason to feel the pangs of disappointment. Probably you were almost as good as those who went on up and the next time you try you will have the benefit of what you have learned from experience. Debating, as well as practically all extra-curricula activities in school, is good training. It cultivates confidence and without confidence you can score but little in this game we have called life. Summer and Scouting A little .study on the subject of Boy Scouts will lead to the conclusion that scouting is one of the be.st activities we have for boys. Summer time is approaching and with summer more leisure time for boys of teen ages, especially in the city. How they spend their time in vacation months will determine to a great ex tent what kind of citizens they will make for tomorrow. The Scout court of honor and scout masters are doing good work in lead ing in the organization. Scouting de serves more public attention than it is receiving. It is truly uplifting to a com munity to have good Scout troops that are active and they should have the unqualified support of every resident who has the community good at heart. During the summer the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are going to do things that will help them in a practical way. They will also receive training and ex perience that will make them better boys and girls and better men and women when they grow up to take on the responsibilities of citizen.^. Pioneering De Luxe Who says that the last frontier has vanished? The Federal Emergency Re lief Administration has its plans all complete to move several hundred farm families from the northwe.st up into Alaska, where agricultural conditions are .said to be fine, in the Matanu.ska Valley. Every one of these modern pioneers will be settled on a 40-acre tract of im proved land, with a gooci hoii.se fully equipped except for plumbin. and com plete farm equipment. Schools, a movie theatre, stores, churches am! a lU’eam- ery and cannery will be built for them by Government. Each complete farm will cost the homesteader $3,000, pay able over 30 years with interest at 3 per cent, but no interest collected for the first four years. This, it seems to us, is pioneering de luxe. These new settlers in Alaska will not have to undergo the privations and hardships which the homesteaders went through who built their sod hou.s- es in the Northwest a couple of gener ations ago. We wonder whether they will develop the hardy character and independent spirit of the pioneers who settled our own Great West. Our ob servation of human nature leads us to fear that they will be more likely to complain that Government hasn’t done enough for them. Perhaps, twenty or thirty years from now, we will see a new drive in Con gress for farm relief for the distressed agriculturists of Alaska. I’l^ect The n-Wilkes county and the' Wilkesboro^ Woman’s Club cooperating have beau tified the courthouse grounds by plant ing shrubbery and landscaping. As far as the county is concerned these im provements will be cared for by the janitor and an effort will be put forth to keep the county building and the j rounds in ti#"i best condition possible. The danger to the shrubbery lies in the careless public. Visitors to the courthouse should use every care that they do not damage the newly planted shrubbery and should cooperate to the extent that the court house grounds will present a more pleasing appearance. If people use care and have pride in their own homes and surroundings they will exercise the same care to public property. Another thing that deserves mention is the throwing of trash on the court house lawn, more especially during court terms. A person should be more thoughtful and as we said above in different words, it. goes to show that they are not public spirited citizens. The interest a person has in public property can be considered an accur ate gauge to his character and self re spect. Let us be thoughtful. Borrowed Comment Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN TO COMPROMISE 3DAY, AlPRIL 18, April Sw*flow«S^,., Wlashington, April dent RooBeveU^'has aiiree^L to compromise vith Congress on the soldier bonus issue '^and would sign a bill which Chair man Pat Harrison (D), Miss., of the Senate finance committee will inU educe tomorrow, Har rison said tonight. Harrison declined to discuss details of the measure, hut it was reliably reported that its essential provisions would in clude: 1. Dating of the adjusted serv ice certificates so they would ma ture in 1938 instead of 1945. 2. Issuance of federal nego tiable bonds to veterans who de sire to cash their certificates im mediately. 3. A declaration of congres sional policy that no pensions be provided for World War veter- offort: to eompw dfRei^n^ "THK RED I-X>.\‘.S" .SOX (The State’s Voice. Dunn. N. C.) One of the characters of North Carolina during the last third of the 19th century was John Q. Bryan, universally known as the “Red Fox’’ of Wilkes. The “Red Fox’’ had been an out and out Union man during the war, and “out and out’’ means all it implies and possibly more. The Wilkes man raised something on the ord er of a regiment and joined the Union forces, operating mostly in Tennessee, I assume. But on one occasion he led his regiment back home, captured Wilkesboro and raised the Union flag over it. He was a member of the convention which framed the present constitution in 1868, and returned to the general assembly an even dozen more times in his long career. Of course he was a strong Republican: nevertheless he was much liked by his Democratic compatriots for his wit and humor and good sound sense. Tile “Red Fox’s’’ war cub, T. S. Bryan, born in 1864, is the representative from Wilkes this session, as he was in 191.6. He is an in telligent farmer and a staunch Republican. His education was secured in his home vil lage, Traphill, which used to boast the Pos session of "Fairview College,” and has had a good .school continuously since shortly after .Mr. Bryan’s birth. Mr. Bryan has held jobs under the Republican administrations from brandy gauger on up to the secretaryship under Congressman Romulus Z. Linney, the "Bull of the Brushies.’’ He is superintendent of the Methodist Sun day school. He is a Mason, being master of his lodge. He is also a committeeman of the Trap- hill high school, but doesn’t have to work very hard at that job these days of centraliza tion. He is one of the tallest men in the general assembly and at 70 is straight and slender. He is nearly as old as his father was when he died at the age of 7 2, but the son seems like ly to swing along toward ninety. If Wilke.s is to have a Republican representative, the writ er is hoping to .see the Traphiller down again in 1937. And the State of Wilkes does seem eternally sold on Republicanism. Harrison said he hoped to be gin hearings on the bill as soon as his committee concludes work on the revised NRA measure ex pected the latter part of the week. He Indicated the heariiigs would last only two days. Differs Prom Patman RiU ' The Harrison measure, it was reported, differs sharply from the Patman bonus bill passed overwhelmingly by the House. But it was said to represent the full extent to which President Roosevelt is willing to go in an . .. -4 .*»“• vanie staiitad ttf cUldras of t^^Ijaas w&en tbe toota tndl- t)M saspieioB- .

The Patman bill calls for i» suance of noninterest bearing treasury notes or "greenbacks” for immediate payment in full of the 12,300,000,000 in adjust ed service certlficatee. It was re ported that figures compiled by the veterans administration in dicated that the Harrison pro posal would cost the government only a maximum of $701.000.- 000 if all veterans took advant age of an opportunity to cash their certificates at once. The a- mount would be much less if the veterans delayed action until 1938. lj$esttost ^ a. l$-Fsar-otd boy kied do^nv LEAVES HOSPITAL SEEKING REVENGE Danville, Va., April 14.—^With one bullet through his chest and another in his back Roy Lettwick brushed aside attendants a t Providence hospital last night and left that institution vowing vengeance on his brother, James Leftwich who, he claimed, had shot him.

"Can we believe in eternal life?’’ In askin.g at Easter this question that probes the very heart of onr Christian faith, I have in mind two classes of people. First of all, there are a few who flatly deny that the soul has any immoriality. Napoleon belonged to this group. “Oh. well. ’ I'e ence said, “when we are dead, we are simply dead.” Secondly, (here is that large class to whom our query is wholly unim- lortaiU. They do not deny immortality, but they neillier desire nor cherish it. The present world is so fascinating that they have no time to dream of the life beyond life. They agree with Thoreau that we should live in one world at a time. Now this prote.st against tlie thouglit of im mortality has important elements of truth in it. It is undeniable that the Puritan tradi tion over-emphasized the glories of heaven, and under-estimated the delights of this world. The pendulum has swung away from the con viction that this life is essentially vain, that we must postpone happiness until we die. The Easter hope, however, is not to be ig nored just because life has its hap.py moments. We are all candidates for trouble, sorrow, and death, and so must turn our eyes toward God’s eternal City of Light. The body, of course, de cays. But while the flesh fails, the spirit, as St. Paul assures us, is renewed day by day. But to the Christian eternal life is more than a wistful hope. It is a definite fact. This is made clear by our thrilling Golden Text. “I am the resurrection, and the life,” said Jesus. Here we .have not a fancy, not a theory, not a "perhap'S,” but a firm assurance. “In my Fa ther’s house are many mansions.’’ These we shall enter, in God’s good time, if we are true to the gospel of His Son.
