With all the valley united for flood con trol, there should be no opposition to any reasonable plan the War Department en gineers may devise. As we understand it, the engineers are working on a plan of tributary control, plus a drj' dam on the Yadkin itself if needed. We are not engineers, and we are perfectly willing to let the flood control problem be solved, technically speaking, by the engineers. The people of the Yadkin valley should understand that the plans now considered are separate and apart from the hydro electric proposal which was eliminated from the flood control bill last year. The plait now is for detention dams which would store water only in case of flood threats. This plan would require a much smaller territory of land and few'er people would have to give up their property. T.he upper part of the valley, where ma.jor objection was raised when the hy droelectric project was proposed, would not be affected by the plan now under con sideration. However, it is certain that some lands must be sacrificed in order to provide ade quate control. The engineers have in mind and are working on a plan which would require the least possible use of lands for flood control. Already much field work has been done on the new survey and the field work will be ready for completion and report to the department at an early date. Within a few months definite pro posals will be ready for congressional ac tion. Meanwhile, the people of the valle.v should remain united and determined to secure an adequate program of Yadkin flood control and our representatives and senators in congress should not be allo-n*ed to forget the urgency of the problem. The Home Clubs Annual Achievement Day for the home demonstration clubs in Wilkes county will be held Tuesday, October 23, 10 a. m., at the Legion and Au.xiliary club house. One of the most remarkable improve ments in rural life in Wilkes county during the past decade has been the organiza tion and acitvities of so many good clubs among the rural women. Mrs. Annie H. Greene and Mrs. Helen White, home agent and assistant, have done a wonderful job of encouraging rural women in the formation and maintenance of home demonstration clubs. No doubt the club meetings have been the source of much benefit for the mem bers in that they have learned many ways of making life better in rural homes, as well as adding to family incomes. Members, no doubt, have found the meetings to be a great source of enjoy ment, recreation and diversion from an otherwise routine existence. The social Bide is one phase of life too often neglect ed. Without pleasant social activities in dividuals may not develop into full use fulness to their homes, their communities and their churches. Visitors will be welcome at the Achieve ment Day and we suggest that women not associated with the clubs, and more espe cially those who live in the town commu nities, visit the Achievement Day program and get acquainted with your country neighbors. House committees discuss “death and taxes”. And what a happy combination, the former of the latter would be. RADAR AND PEACE. (Alleghany News.) Now that the war is over, the brains and energy that produced &o many wea pons for its completion are already at, work for peace and safety. Radar, used so effectively to rout the enemy can now be turned to peace-time use. Like a seeing-eye dog guarding his blind master through a maze of traffic, the sixth sense of radar will reduce travel hazards for man in peace-time world. By putting a deadly finger on enemy ships, planes and submarines, radar hastened the end of the war: This same uncanny power to see the individual promises to make peacetime am and sea travel e’ntirely foolproof, regard less of night or weather. Safety for ships and planes is an im mediate application for this new pathfind er. Innumerable other uses are sure to flow from the knowledge bom of thou sands of manhours devoted to research during the war. Thousands of engineers and other technically trained men who pent their time and energy in the use of radar for victory, can continue in this .arae field, if they choose to. New uses for . new product means a new field of scien tific development, too. Conceding the annoyance to the state highway patrol of having to spend so much time in attending police court, we still believe if there were more emphasis on patroling, there might be less need for bearing witness. LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E. ISENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. YOUNG PEOPLE AND CLEAN LIVING. When we speak of clean living we think of it from four standpoints, namely, phys ically, mentally, morally and spiritually. Every youth should keep his body clean, refusing to go na.sty and filthy. He should keep his mind clean, for a clean mind means noble living. No one with a mind filled and polluted with evil, sin and wick edness can rise high in life. His mental filthiness will defeat him. Then every youth should live clean morally. For to be unclean morally means that the devil has a powerful downhill pull on the life. To be clean morally means that one is vic tor over the degrading, depraving, demor alizing principles and things of life that bring defeat. Above all. every youth .should be clean spiritually. Usually clean spiritual living includes all cleanlines.s. However, one may be clean in body, clean in mind, clean in morals, and yet not have a clean, pure heart, soul and spirit. This requires the cleansing, purifying blood of Jesus. Again, one may be clean mentally, morally and spiritually and fail to keep his body as clean as he should. Every youth who lives clean physically, men tally and morally clean is sure to live nob ly. He walks uprightly before God and man. He wields good influence wherever he goes or lives, or at whatever he does. He points to the higher, better, no bler and holier things of life. He makes his mark as he goes through life, and will leave his mark behind him to bless man kind when he is gone from this world. How wonderful to so live! This is possible. It is within the reach of every youth, ev ery person, who lives in a Bible land, and that has good reasoning faculties, and that will yield his life completely unto God. This should be the sincere desire of every youth, every person, who lives in a Bible land and has good reasoning fac ulties and that will yield his life com pletely unto God. This should be the desire of every youth. Anything short of this may bring defeat. Multitudes are absolutely defeated because' of unclean living phy sically, mentally, morally and spiritually. May God enable our young people to real ize the nobility of clean, godly living, then strive to measure up to it, by the grace of God. We indeed appreciate the young people of our country that live clean lives. We wish to quote from a letter just received from Carl Roberson, of Bostic. N. C., who is one of our readers. He says: “Brother Isenhour, I am writing you to say that I sure enjoy your sermons in the Union Re publican. I am seventeen years old, and I like good literature.
