TO WORK To Work! To work means not to sit all day Bent over desk with thoughts held bound Within four nanx>w office walls. Work is construction of the mind— Of the mind that seeks a way To elevate the standard of mankind. To Work! To work means not to hate the day Because it brings the thought of grind— Working means to love the chance To stimulate a laggard mind. —Virginia E. Sampson. • Successful Marriage Perhaps there is no question of more universal interest in this age than mar riage. Writers and speakers everywhere are calling attention to the large percent age of marriages that aie going on the rocks each year. Marriage is an age-old institution that dates back to the loginning of the human race. There has always been some of the mai’i'iages that did not pan out. In this fast age there is an ever large percentage ending in the divorce course and this fact brings the institution of marriage into the .spotlight and the public eye. “Alpha Bet” in the Union Republican, offers the following 26 rules for happy marriage; (A) Adaptability—Cultivate a taste for each other’s tastes. (B) Belief—Trust one another. (C) Children—Take inem or leave them, but be of the same mind on the subject. (D) Devotion—Not only feel love but show it. (0) Entertainment—Keep each other amused and interested. (F) Finesse—Handle each other with tact. (G) Generosity—Don’t be stingly with love or money or praise. (H) Health—Keep as well as you can and don’t Uilk about your symptoms. (1) Interest—Enter into everything the other does. Play the same game.s, read the same books, like the same people, ride the same hobby horse. (J) Jokes—Learn to make ’em and Uke ’em. (K) Kindnes.s—Never fail to show each other tenderness and sympathy. (L) Love—Never let your supply of that run low. (M) Money—Agree before marriage about the division of the family income and stick to your arrangement. (N) Need of each other—Make yourself neces sary to your husband’s or wife’s happiness. (O) Ob.servation—See what each needs and sup ply it. Notice when the w-ife has on a new gown, or the husband looks particularly .spick-and-span and handsome. (P) Politeness—^how as much courtesy to each other as you would to strangers. (Q) Quiet—Don’t argue. Keep a peaceful home. (R) Respect—Show deference for each other’s opinions and intelligence. (S) Sportsmanship—Take marriage on the chin. Don’t whine or complain over hard ships you may have to endure. (T) Tenderness—.Whatever you are to other peo ple, be all heart to your husband or wife. (U) Understanding—Enter into the thoughts and feelings of your mate so you will know why a woman cries when she is happy, and why a man has to slip the bridle now and then in even the most successful marriage. (V) Virtue—No philandering allowed on dither side. Even amon^the most happy and suc- ceesful mar^tges we venture to assert that not all rules are kept by both parties, butwre would be bold enough to yuiin that/adhering to the principles of- ' by Betf’ would ke^ any oat (tf the coorts.

Good ath letic teams are assets to any school, pro vided they do not attract too much at tention from regular curricula activities. The Wilkes County S^oolmasters’ club is again sponsoring a county-wide basket ball tournament among the high schools. In addition to furnishing good physical training and helping to develop the bodies of the youths, the game should serve to cultivate sportsmanship and friendlV rivalry. A person who has played on school teams has learned how to win and how to lose if he took the proper viewpoint of athletic contests. In the basketball tournament there cannot be but one win ner in any race and the sportsmanship spirit should make that team a good win ner and all the others good losers. Haywood Broun was in Miami during the hurricane. An inspection the day after revealed that he remains a splendid testimonial to that type of construction.—New York Sun. Bruce- BARTON THINGS WOMEN WANT A woman’s magazine recently compiled a study of the leisure time and interests of some four thousand readers. In reply to the question: “What is your favorite ‘evening at home’ enter tainment?” 71 per cent answered reading, 21 per cent sewing and 18 per cent radio. Four out of five of the women voted in the last election; three out of five make their own clothes or hats: nearly three-quarters of them have automobiles. Only one in nine has a servant. Asked: “What would you like to do most?” more than half answered, “to travel.” One woman out of four teen expressed the desire to go into business. And 48 women out of the near ly 4,000 said they were perfectly satisfied. About one American Bruce Barton woman in a hundred, according to this interest ing survey, has everything she wants. The oth er ninety and nine are nothing but alluring bundles of prospective purchases and unfilled desires. When you look at the financial pages of the newspapers you see charts of car-loadings, elec tric output, bank deposits, and so forth. You never see a chart marked. “Things Americajj Women Want and Won’t Be Satisfied Until They Get.” Yet such a chart would be more import ant than all the others combined; it would be the chart which would show what makes the wheels go round. Ten years ago our family remodelled a house; we put into it every improvement, comfort and convenience-gadget we could discover. Now we are in process of remodeling another house. I have been amazed by the number of new tricks that have come along in the intervening ten years—air-conditioning, radios in the bedrooms, better plumbing fixtures, better lighting, better floor coverings, and so forth. We thought we were through as home-building customers a decade ago, and here we are starting all over again. America will never be through; it always will be starting all over again—as long as 99 out of 100 women are unsatisfied. 4' * * * YOUR BEST YEARS It may interest you to know at what age you are likely to be at the top of your efficiency as measured by the quality of your work. Accord ing to Professor Harvey C. Lehman, of Ohio State University, thirty-five marks the creative peak for most people. Chemists do their out standing work between twenty-seven and thirty- nine; mathematicians between twenty-eight and thirty-eight; physicist between thirty and thirty- four. Inventors strike twelve at thirty-five, while poets achieve their loftiest flights in the brief “breathing spell” between twenty-t.vo and twenty-five. It takes astronomers somewhat longer to get along, but their apparent slow ness may be due to the vast distances they are compelled to cover. I am considerably beyond the dead-line of thirty-five, and nothing has been produced so, far that seems likely to rank with Mr. Shake speare’s Hamlet or the brief remarks of Mr. Lincoln at Gettysburg. This is a sad thought. On the other hand, if you keep your mind active you can have quite a lot of fun with it even after it has begun to cool off. Goethe finished his Faust only a few years before his death at eighty-three; Gladstone took up the study of a new language when he was well past seventy, and Vanderbilt increased the mileag:e of his railroads from 120 to more than 10,000 be tween his seventieth birthday and his death at eighty-three. These tough old codgers may have been on the down grade but they kept going, and I take courage from their example. Every night I give thanks that I still have the desire to work, even though it is now more than ten years, accevding to the professor's figures, since I began t4 crack.

Mr. Qreene, of Deep Gap, and Just following was a comment on that letter from some party who failed to reveal their name In their comment, but said that they would upon Inquiry. This we have already learned from your article as it reveals your true name, which must be Nabal, the son of Belial, (1st Samuel, chapter 26). You said in your comment that two- thirds of relief cases should be sent to the work bouse, and I suppose the other third to work for you at two bits per day. Just what we would most like to know is what place you refer to as workhouse. Is it the place where our courts send criminals? Is that the way you feel toward the poor and needy of our land who from no fault of their own, have been compelled to ask our government for aid. I admit that this relief program has not been 100 per cent In doing just as it was intended by Mr. Roose velt and congress, but I do know one thing—just as long as this world is filled up with selfish characters who criticize the poor and needy, that long there must be a goveinment that will save our people. I just wonder it you have ever felt the pangs of hunger and seen little children without food and clothing, as I have. I know of numbers of children that will not have for Christmas as much as a biscuit, unless tljey receive it from some relief source, because theire is no employment back here bills of the Blue Ridge.

SPENCER WINGLER. Vannoy, N. C. Direct Relief Work Ended By State ERA Raleigh, Bee. c.—^The North Carolina emergency relief admin istration 'Thursdav ended direct relief in the state, and today be gan the huge task leading to complete liquidation. In the two and one-half years of its existence, the NCfiBA, with the aid of the OWA, spent $60,- 000,000 in the state and gave food for jobs to as many as 120,000 relief families at one time. Closing of relief rolls may leave as many as 30,000 families in North Carolina to depend upon the uncertain charity of local public and private agencies, Mrs. Thomas O’Berry, state adminis trator, indicated today.

Key West, Florida, is closer to Cuba than the mainland of the United States. ‘I like NEW the CHEVROLET the best of aU' MASm Di luxe sroKT scoan HEW PEBTECTBP BTDRAUUC BRAKES th» tahit and imoorhut awr dartlopad SOLID STEEL TURRET TOP ■ trewn of btaufy, a fortran of sahty mPROVED OLIDINO ENEE-ACnON SIDE* smoofhos^, toftsf rfif* of all SHOCKPROOF STEERING* siok/ftg drMng ooJor and softr ffcon avar bafara "I KNEW, the moment I laid eyes on it, that this beautiful new 1936 Chevrolet was the car I wanted to own.
