Childhood and Youth Wa have read with interest this week the account of the observance of “Child hood and Youth Week’' at the local Meth odist church. Sometimes it is feared that in this fast age that children and youth are not receiv ing their proportional shaie of attention, especially from parents w'ho are engrossed in the business of earning a living or ac cumulating something for old age, busi ness retirement, or that their children might not have such a hard life. They are too prone, is the common be lief of many philosophical writers, to Jeave the problem of educating their chil dren to the schools and do not realize that the fundamentals of education are in the early ages of childhood when honesty, truthfulness, integrity, initiative, reason ing, courtesy and other essentials of good character have their foundation. No one can blame a parent for wanting to leave something of material wealth for his or her children but it is better to let them start in life with a good character and mateiial possessions at 0 than to be paumpered with wealth or social position and not have the character. “Childhood and Youth Week” should be a time for seriou.s consideration on the part of every parent when they can take inventory of the way in w.hicii they are contributing to the coming generation. World Series Figures The biggest sports event of the year ended Monday when Detroit defeated Chi cago for the baseball championship of the world. As usual it was a great event. All base ball fans throughout the country enjoyed it immensely. But all that is immaterial to the idea we wish to express today in these col umns. We shall attempt to show that bus iness conditions are better now than in several previous years. As we stated several days ago in com menting on gate receipts for a prize fight, a sure sight of more spending and better business conditions generally is spending for something other than dire necessities of life. The thousands and hundreds of thousands of baseball fans who paid high ly for a chance to see world series games were spending for something they could ^ This v««lFhM set aside bj the President bt the United Statee» gwemor ^ of North Cardina and mayor of i North ^ Wilkeeboro as “Fire Invention Week” '^and anything this newspaper might add to the idea of fire prevention we are will- ' ing to do. Ibis is the prmer time of the year for setting aside a period to teach and empha size prevention of fires—fires in the hemes and fires in the forests, whkh are one of the greatest resources in this im mediate section. October is the month when we build the first fires at hwne to banish the^ first chills of frosty weather. It is also the time when ^re can easily get into accumulated rubbish and cause terrible loss in property. Regardless of whether or not insurance is carried on property fires result in loss es. In this age adequate insurance is con- cidered a necessity and a matter of course to the home owner and business man. If there are heavy fire losses insurance rates must be higher and the property owners must pay more in insurance. To the busi ness man it is an obvious fact that insur ance companies must collect from the in sured to pay losses. October is the time to clean up trash and other inflamable rubbish about the home. It must be remembered that the largest blazes start from small flames and that a littb bit of inflamable material in the wrong place can cause great loss. October is also the month in the year when frosts kilt leaves in the forests. The leaves dry and fall to the earth, making a mass of highly inflamable material that is easily set afire and which carries the flames through the forest and destroys young timber. Forest fire losses, which will be felt by this and comirg genera tions, are hard to estimate. This is the time of the year to teach fire prevention in the school and impress upon children the danger of fire. Fire is no plaything and should always be used with the utmost caution. have lived without and that is certainly a sign of more money in the spenders’ pockets. People paid $1,173,000 to see the six games played and this lacked only about $28,000 of equalling the recoid set in 1926 and very nearly equalled the second larg est gate receipts in 1923. Of course the calibre of the opposing • teams and their sensational rise in base ball during the latter part of the season had much to do with large crowds turn ing out But if people did not have the money they could not have seen the games, regardless of how much they had been enthused.

What with those who are having their dogs innoculated who have never publicly admitted having a dog before, the tax collectors are fur nished a means of checking up on canines sub ject to the state dog tax. From Warren cuonty comes word that 1,000 dogs not listed for taxes have been vaccinated, and there i.s assurance that Warren intends to do something about it. Of course, it was an of fice deputy in the sheriff’s office who made the discovery, and naturally she was a woman. The Daily News accords to every man the right to believe what he pleases about vaccina tion against rabies; but it doesn’t think that any man who backs his dog up against a veterinari an’s needle should be excused from paying taxes on this form of personal property. It isn’t fair to hold a man accountable for any thing he says under the influence of whiskey, women, fear or eloquence.—Washington Post. While the war between l the states was In progrcM, almost 4ie^ tatorlal powers had been axerels- ed by the Execntlve. ’The Presi dent, under' the Constitution, was Commander-In-Chief of the Artty and Navy, and the whole nation was Involved in the 'WfU’.i^MaAy things were done under the strm of the war emergenctee il^wjil& there was no specific wartaiii la the Constitution. Among .these, for example, was the Imposition of a national Income tax. ’This, like the other war emergency measures, was abandoned at the close of hostilities. After the tur moil of tbe Reconstruction per iod had subsided, there was gen eral satisfaction with the demon stration that had been given of tbe flexibility of the Constitution. It had been stretched to cover the emergencies of war and re construction; now It had shrunk back to its peace-time functions. But those functions had be come far greater than they were, and were to keep on expanding. A new spirit of nationalism had taken possession of the Govern ment, and in the 20 years from 1878 to 1898 Congress and the Executive, sometimes together and sometimes in opposition to each other, undertook to enlarge Federal powers while the powers of the states were constantly be ing diminished. The whole social and economic picture of the nation began, in tlif) 1870’s, to change from a system based almost exclusively on agriculture, forestry and min ing, to one based primarily on In dustry. Revolutionary new inven tions began to appear. Lines of communications multiplied, the great industrial centers began to develop and their products to be distributed throughout the na- ||ii dirMtloaa andr to, disUncefl whidh tM framer* cf Coaatlr tution could pcirer luiM forseeii; rWh (mn^d Hawaii' under Presi dent Clavsiaiid. topk jMMiiK Sion i the PblllilpiBe^^’IiilMn^ 7,494r> miles awty across .thel^P oHUi, of tbw fSiil War ’Mf pnlUMsed Aiasloi from eiia and under the teadershfjp of ’nwodore RooMvelt ire eml^k- ed^opon ih* ^iantio enteifprlae of'the Panama penal.

There was serious doubt of the Constitatiodality of tbe Interstate commerce act, in the minds of many, but the Su preme Court upheld it as coming within the purview of the com merce clause of the Constitution. But when, in 1893, Congress undertook to enact a new Income tax law, the Court held It to be unconstitutional. The West, how ever, was insistent upon an in come tax, and after, 20 years of agitation the sixteenth amend ment to the Constitution, author izing Congress to impose a tax, was submitted and ratified in I9i3. Out of the agrarian West also came demands which gradually became Irreslstable, for other changes in the Constitution. The Spanish war of 1898 put the finishing touch to the antag onisms between North and South and launched the United States upon a broader nationalistic ca reer. So completely dominant was Federal supremacy that Presi dent Theodore Roosevelt, in 1906. did not hesitate to advance the idea that state lines should the convehtioB of 1797 have called this Imperialistic ex pansion conatltutloihal, bi\t under thiO-pUipBes aathoiiUhg; Congraas (0{.gOKi>lhte commefee with fof- eIgtf«4>#tibD8 and between,, the statM and to provide for Abe com mon defense and the general w^fare, the Supreme Court held that tbe; documentary basic law of the land was sufficiently flex ible to warrant these acts. ty _ . Ready For Homecomoig Celebration October 26 Many University alumni and other football fans in this coun ty are making plans to attend Carolina’s annual fall homecom ing celebration at Chapel Hill on October 26 when the Tar Heels will renew an ancient rivalry with the Golden Tornado of Geor gia Tech. On that day the Carolina foot ball team, which is being accord ed natlonaJ recognition since its 38-13 upset of the highly touted Tennessee Vols, will parade its wares before the home fans a- gain for the first time in three weeks at Chapel Hill. In the meantime the Tar Heels have two more hard games on foreign fields on their hands; Maryland at Baltimore Saturday, October 12, and Davidson at Davidson October 19. The contest with Georgia Tech J/i£ SweeUst Su(jur • CverJold " JEREMIAH Lesson For October 13. Jeremiah 36-38. Golden Text; Jeremiah 1:7. Jeremiah is the greatest of the Old Testament prophets. Born about 650 B. C., he lived to see Jerusalem destroyed and her people driven into exile. For nearly 40 years he pursued his prophe tic career in response to a divine inspiration. Those years were the most sginificant and trag ic in the whole history of God’s people. One stu dent calls this period “The Decline and Fall of the Hebrew Nation,’’ and compares Jeremiah with Washington and Lincoln, both of whom faced similar catastrophes. Now fortunately we know more about Jere miah’s personality and career than we do about those of any other Bible prophet. He had a de voted biographer, his nephew Baruch, who be came his private secretary. As Boswell later w’orshipped Dr. Johnson, so Baruch idolized his uncle. The result is that we have spread before us in the 52 chapters of the prophecy of Jere miah a complete record of the prophet’s acts and message. And what a prophet! Some one has beautiful ly called him “The Shadow Christ.” Surely Jere miah anticipated the gospel of Jesus more fully than any other representative of the old dispen sation. To be sure, he was a rebel, and other wailed and screamed. It is to be regretted that so great a figure should be so little known, and his book so sel dom read. One reason for this neglect is that the book is so badly arrang;ed. It consists of a “conglomeration of prophecies,” as George Adam Smith well says, all thrown together in a helter- skelter fashion. One of the first duties of the diligent student is to attempt to straighten out this inchoate mass into some semblance of chronological sequence. When this task has been accomplished, the prophecy of Jeremiah,at w>ce ' takes rank as one of the most rewarding books in the BiMe.
