MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1936 Jj^qpKAIrFAf^T/NOBTA $,N.a Legion Quite Active The Wilkes Post of the American Le gion is starting a new year and already has a membership as large as during the last twelve months’ period. Thi^ speaks well for the organization and the activi ties it has carried out. Having some knowledge of the Legion, this newspaper commends It to ex-serv ice men and freely expresses the belief that all who can afford the small mem bership fee should become members. It has done great things for the needy veterans and this editor personally knows of families of veterans who have received almost indispensable aid from the Legion and the Auxiliary. But the worth of the Legion does not consist wholly in what it does for vet erans. It stands on principles of patri otic Americanism and readily suppo^ any movement for the good of communi ties in which posts are located. Life Cheap In State Asserting that life is cheap in North Carolina, the Greensboro Daily News makes some very pertinent comment about paroling a“prominent Sanford youth” from prison after serving about one year for three deaths during a wild ride. The News says: Young Stout staged a wild ride from Pitts- boro to Chapel Hill, during the course of which he struck down five persons, three of whom ■were fatally injured. For the three deat^ he received about a year apiece ia his original sentence, with no allowance whatever for the other two victims of his recklessness who were not knocked into eternity. That sentence seem ed light enough; but it has worked out that he served only about four months for each of these snuffed out lives. Now who says life isn’t dirt cheap in North Carolina? Obviously not the governor and his parole advisers. It SO happens that the governor ap parently had cause for fke parole, in asmuch as 11 members of the jury who convicted him and the trial judge recom mended it. If snuffing out three lives is not enough offense for serving three years in prison then what crime would be con sidered of sufficient notoriety for a life sentence? On the basis of killing three persons and serving one year, killing fifty persons with an automobile would probably justify a life sentence! Hunting Accidents The hunting season has begun and nimrods have already taken to the for ests in quest of game. During the lat ter part of November other seasons will open and the fields will be frequent ed by hunters with shotguns. During the several years that we have been trying to gather and present the happenings of Wilkes county through a newspaper there has not been any single year that has not witnessed.at least one fatal hunting accident. Every one of these could have been prevented by using care and the elimination of carle.ssness on the part of those who handle guns. * . , x If all children were taught how to handle firearms as some are taught by their parents, accidents would be reduc ed to a minimum. They should be taught to handle guns at all times as if they were loaded and the safety was Very few hunters have not at some time er other tried to shoot game with an empty gun, thinking it was loaded. Many accidents are the other wav around, thinking a gun is empty when it is loaded. Consider that your memory may be at fault, although you are cer tain that the cartridges have been taken from the gun. This writer remembers distinctly one fruitless rabbit hunt when, after he had been jn the field for some time and.^ a rabbit was juroned the hammer fell on an einnty chamber. ^Then - t was to be ttat the gun had been un loaded in order to get snow from the barrel and had not been reloaded. -Let us turn this situation around and ^Bupposoihat one was playing with a gun Uiat he thought was unloaded. Some JO’S 80 thoughtlesB as to playfully snap a gnn at Mother’s body. After snmeone is» jkflied yon ,reivomber that the Local people who attended the die* trict convention of the Parent-Teacher association here Thursday got a glimpse of what this organization stands for and ^ what its purposes are. - The objectives could be summed up generally in the convention theme, which was “Home and School Co-9perati^” In that these lie the essentials of a successful educational system. In looking over the convention, one could not fail to be impressed with the fact that about 98 per cent of those at tending were women. No doubt prac tically all the fathers of school chil dren must be at work in the day time but the fact remains that practically .all of the P.-T. A. activities are carried on by mothers. It certainly is a tribute to them that they carry on such an organi zation and the fact that fathers take no more interest than they show does not speak so well for them. This problem was discussed during the open forum Thursday and it was brought out that some meetings should be held in the evening in order to get attendance of the fathers and that they should be put to work in the P.-T. A. Probably these practices would help. No one means to say that the lathers are not interested in the schools. They are, but the mothers, with perhaps more intimate contact with 'their children, take the most active interest in the edu cation of their children. BRUCt BARTON @8) THERE IS PURPOSE AND PLAN In a remarkable book called “Black Recon struction,” Wi. E. Burghardt du Bosie says, “No American new believes in his religion. Its facts are mere symbolism; its revelations generali ties; its ethics a matter of carefully balanced gain.” This is one of those sweeping generali ties that take in too much territory. It is a fact that religion has been subjected to a series of shocks that have pretty neatly ■wrecked its traditional structure. Gallileo shocked it -with his discovery that the earth is not the center of the universe with the sun and stars circling around it. Darwin shocked it 'with his ‘‘Descent of Man.” Religious people have been ta'ught that man was created perfect and by sin fell. Darwin proved that man never was up. He is not yet up to the height which the continuing processes of evolution may make possible. The astronomers shocked it when they peered through their telescopes beyond the clouds and found neither the streets of gold nor the pearly gates "we once supposed ■were there. So religious people, robbed of the mental images of old and with no clear images to take their place, are /bewildered and igtroping. In this sense they have- ceased to believe. But nothing has happned to the voice inside that speaks in silence, nor the sense of awe that is still under the stars, nor to the deep convic tion that somehow there is a purpose and a plan that makes life significant and duty worthwhile. They even dared to affirm that this purpose and plan e’xtends beyond the grave and no scientist can ever produce any proof that their faith is unfounded. Bewildered and broken, the common man still has something in which he believes and even though that something be only one per cent of what he once was taught, he is one hundred per cent better off than as though he believed in nothing. « • • • LET’S DO LESS GENERALLY SPEAKING The advertising manager of a corporation had an idea that his company could gather some good will for itself by broadcasting an hour of dinner music. The hour selected vr&s from six to seven. The plan met 'with approval of the various de partment heads and the board of directors, but the chairman of the board interposed a vigorous objection. “I never knew anything more absurd in my life,” he sputtered. “Dinnea music from six to seven! Why, nobody sits do'wn to dinner be fore 7:30.” No argument would move him. Indeed, he burst into his office a couple of days la er very triumphant. “I told you so,” he exclaimed. “I came in on my yacht from Newport and I had twenty guests. I asked each one of them *what is your regular dinner hour?’ Some said 7:30, some said 8 o’clock. Nobody eats from six to seven.” He had talked tt) twenty people on a 3racht and he thought he was getting a cross section' of the American people. Much of the bad judg ment and trouble in the ■world originates from this habit of pickii)g isolated bits of information and proceeding forthwith to construct a general statement Bacon remarked that it is the nature of the mind of man to the extreme prejudice of knowl edge to delight in the spehial liberty of gen eralities. Scientists, physicians, sea captains and air plane pilots do not generalise. Writers, ora tors, economists and politicians do to Hie yast' annoyance and injury of the rest of the hnnuui race. p m p g I ji g PHlU^OPHir . j . Nr a m ■A Pharltees sometimea stand In the pulpits 88 well as upon’ the street comers. The acid teat of religlOB ia, perhaps, not so much in the Quan tity as in the Quality. If a skunk It not worth skin ning, what is it tit for? It Is very rare that a borrowed phrase Is as weighty as one that is original. A real scholar is one who goea two ways—^he digs downward and yet climbs upward. Age does not minimise true manhood—It enriches and enno bles It. It is Just as necessary to be a negative quantity In some things as it Is to be positive In others. While knighthood and chivalry was directly connected with the middle ag- *,f. It was no less needful then than now. If one speaks, writes, and acts well, h e has gone a long way toward the goal of success. The fellow who is ahead of himself is in no better shape than if he were be hind himself. Devils do not sprout wings; neither do angels grow horns. Some can see the sun through the clouds, while others can’t see it when the sky Is blue. Apparently just a “little” mus tache lends much dignity to its possessor. Fools and cars are often seen together. The only tragic thing about life Is that It stops. Merely because a person Is slow to take a hint does not al ways mean that he Is a “Solo mon.” No "stilted” code of ethics will stand the test of time. Gravitation affects material substances, but the mind, .unaf fected. flies beyond the constel lations of boundless and endless apace. A right may be, and In some times Included In a privilege, but this is not always the case. Some men must have a degree to actually let it be known that they have been bora Into the world. The alphabet or ABC’s (barr ing technical methods of teach- nlcal methods of teaching chil dren) should be the starting point on the race of life.

Landon, of Kansas, his Republican opponent. MAiNTS BODY FOUND HANGING FROM TREE NciitsrscRodfi^s WKoClU^ UfJUKXnti SEVBRAL STODBNTB' n~iitd' to ho tho boat mw- Pilot Monhtain, Oot.
