Wil liams gave a comprehensive account of the regular monthly meeting of an or ganization that heretofore we had known little or nothing about, that be ing the Sportsmen’s Club in the vicinity of Joynes, Springfield and Traphill. This organization has for its purpose the conservation of natural resources and wild life and as such has a most commendable object. It operates in the heart of a beautiful scenic region that has been almost inaccessible and has attracted little attention because its beauty has not been exploited. But this section, like other parts of Wilkes, will come into its own as a scenic paradise because of the proxi mity of the Scenic Parkway that will follow the summit of the Blue Ridge. Previously we have called attention to the fact that we have as beautiful mountain scenery within 25 miles of North Wilkesboro as can be found in eastern America. Although we have not seen all the points of interest in the Appalachian range from New York state to Alabama, wo are ready to stand by this assertion. In connection vvith the organization called the Sportsmen’s Club we wish to quote excerpts from an article by Forney A. Rankin, entitled “Wildlife Conservation—Its Scope and Meaning”: Among other things which have been brought about by the depression is the more honest consideration for the con servation of our natural resources. E.s- pecially is the con.servation of soils, wild animals and plants receiving con siderable attention. Until a few’ generations ago many people thought the supply of wild game and forests was unlimited. For ests were removed and the lumbermen followed and removed practically all merchamable timber from their hold- nigs. This condition was brought about in part by our system of taxation. More intensive as w’ell as extensive agricul tural practices were forced into oper ation. The methods of destroying our for ests were early deplored because the final result was more apparent. The alarming decrease in many forms of wild animals was slow to receive con sideration. It has been too slow in many cases. After reading about the killing of car loads of passenger pige ons in Michigan and elsewhere, it might be easy to determine why these birds have entirely passed out of existence. The last heath hen has likewise ceased to live. Others have perished, and still others are in danger at the present time. There has been a great shrinkage in nearly all forms of wild animals. As the game animals became less plenti ful a little concern for them arose. While formerly they were hunted al most entirely for food they are "now considered more in the light of a sport. The supply does not even closely ap proach the demand. In looking for a reason for the decrease man has blamed everything, even including his neighbor, but never himself.* It was easy to blame natural enemies, but man never wanted to include himself in that category. Another Despite lamentations over school funds and the need of education it ap pears that a child is offered- almost every opportunity to secure an educa tion. * Beginning on Monday. May 18, a summer school for delinquent students' will be held at the North Wilkesboro school. This school is not limited to North Wilkesboro but is* to give an op portunity to any child to make up sub jects on which' he or she was not pass ed with satisfactory averages during the regular term which has just closed. If for any reason a child was unable to pass one or more subjects the sum mer school offers a splendid opportun ity for work and study in order that he or she may take up the regular work next fall along with the rest of the class. Tax money cannot be used for this work and it is necessary to charge a small tuition charge for each subject. Notwithstanding the. fact that a small tuition charge is made, the opportuni ties afforded are splenaid and the sum mer school is recommended for any students who may need additional work this summer. Borrowed Comment FREEDOM OF SPEECH (Reidsville Review) Secretary Ickes and Senator Borah, as far apart as the poles on many questions are in complete accord about one thing, the right of free speech and free assemblage. The other night Senator Borah appealed to the editors of the country and two days later Secretary Ickes appealed to the publishers to protect the right of free speech as jealously as they protect the right of a free press. Freedom Secretary Ickes pointed out, is one and indivible; “free eco nomic enterprise, free political institutions and the free speech of which a free press is a part, are one and inseparable.’’ Tyranny can not he allowed in any of these fields without jeopardizing freedom in all the others. ^Ir. Ickes’ special concern was tor the right of free .speech and free assemblage. He finds the right of a free press on a firm tooting in this country, but the right of free assemblage and free speech is denied in many places. Let ting a soap-box orator shoot his mouth oft strikes terror in the minds of many who would not think of curtailing the freedom of the press. They forget that free speech, free as semblage and a free press are of equal im portance, “the three musketeers of our con stitutional forces,” in Mr. Ickes’ phrase, which must “fight shoulder to shoulder against every threat of insidious foe.’’ lu this country we believe life would not he worth living willioul freedom. We would rath er blunder and suffer from our mistakes and be free than be errorless and efficient to the a human perversity that makes us want to limit the freedom of others—of people we think dumb or crack-brained or .subsersive. Bias and prejudice are often given full rein, be cause, while we have freedom and cher- i.sh it. we do not have enough faith in it, or ill ourselves, to let others exercise it. .‘lo we need to have men like Mr. Ickes re mind us that if Wo are to preserve freedom in any of its forms we must be free lom-mindcd and grant to others the freedom we ask for ourselves. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN THE CHKISTI.AX CJUR’H Lesson for May 12th. Acts 2:41-45. Golden Text: Romans 12:5. The Christian Church has a three-fold pur pose. In the first place, it is a custodian of di vine truth. It is the guardian of a precious heritage contained within Holy Scripture, in carnated in Jesus, and expanded through the centuries by the insight, interpretation, and blessed example of innumerable saints. Thous ands have fought, bled and died for the pres ervation of this precious treasure. Wp of to day mii.st be no less vigilant. The rethinking of oiir faith is of course very necessary. We must reexamine it in the light of our vastly larger knowledge. But a more fundamental task is that of proclamation. While we must refashion our message, our primary duty is to proclaim it with assurance and certainty. For there are multitudes, in our modern pagan age, who do not accept the Christian point of view. Secondly, the church is an instrument of col lective prayer. To be sure, many churches have ceased to be houses of prayer, and have gone into the entertainment business. There are ministers who will do almost anything to get a crowd. They use sensational sermon titles such as “Playing Gold with God,” or "The Submarine Experiences of Jonah." Neverthe less the Society of Christ does keep alive the flame of corporate prayer. Finally, the church is an ambassador of both hope and warning. Many today sound a de featist note. They are gloomy and afraid. The church, by contrast, should be hopeful, high- spirited. with the radiance of Jesus, that star of hope, who, as Canon Holland said, “crashed into history with such terrific force that he rent it in twain.” But the church must tvarn as well as cheer. It must prophesy the certain collapse of an economic structure permeated with greed. It must seek to transform the prevailing ethic of the market-place.

Arts, Stanly coun ty farm agent. “This condition can gradually remedied by every landowner re plenishing his stock when neces sary v^ith a good brood mare purchased from local dealers, and breeding her to a stallion or jack, both of which are available locally. “A program of this kind, fol lowed over the state, would even tually repopulate our farms with work animals, eupplying both lo cal and outside demands. Not only would this save our farm ers much money, but in cases it would give them opportunity to increase their cash Incomes by selling animal*. “Over moat of the state, with its abundance of corn, oats, les- pedeza hay, good summer pas ture, the conditions for raising horses and mules are almost ideal.

For Esso station products.. backed by the world’s leading petroleum organization.. are the proven best you can buy. So, believe me, you don’t catch my parents driving in anywhere except at a familiar Esso sign! And that takes a big load off my mind when I’m not along to look after things.
