MONDAY, SEPT 23, 1946 Veterans' Porade All veterans in Wilkes county are in vited to participate in the veterans’ pa rade on Farmers' Day, October 2. The parade will form at Smoot Park at 12:30 p. m., and will be reviewed up town by Senator Clyde R. Hoey. This will be the first opportunity for the people of Wilkes to publicly hon or the men who went to war from Wilkes, and for that reason it is hoped that a great number of those who were in service in the army, navy and marines will join in the parade. GIRL SCOUT PROGRESS— The interest being shown by the ladies of the Wilkesboros in Girl Scouting is highly commendable. It is indeed gratifying to note that so much interest is being taken in providing girls with proper training. Scout activities build character in ad dition to providing practical training which wdll be so useful throughout life. The Scout program provides interesting activities for girls, and makes possible pleasant association with other girls in wholesome environment. All public spirited people should lose no opportunity to lend whatever support they can to Scouting. Education—An Investment Ed Cherry, representative of the United States Chamber of Commerce, in an ad dress here Friday night before the Wilkes Chamber of Commerce graphically por trayed education as a valuable invest ment. He showed by charts that business in the United States is distributed according to educational levels. Per capita retail sales, magazine sub scriptions, telephones and other indexes of business activity show that the higher the educational levels the higher the lev els of business. The charts also showed that the busi ness level is up in direct proportion to a- mount spent for education. ■ North Carolina ranks low in the nation in amount spent per pupil for education and ranks correspondingly low in the bus iness index. In other words, ignorance and a low standard of living go hand in hand. It is to the best interest of business to help to raise educational standards. Education increases the earning power of the people and also increases their de sire for better standards of living. Elducation is reflected in greater volume of reteil sales and in greater production. Npfth Carolina, with other southern and southeastejrn stetes, ranks badly in education, and ranks correspondingly low in every per capita business index, ilie same pattern applies to all other states which spend little per pupil for education. Leastwise the country has come s^ely through the selection of another America.”—Greensboro Daily News. 'Hiose who refuse to support th^ orpran- ized churches should let the world know what they have that is better. p we Speaking of meat storage, what ^ naed lb bl^h marketeers in the cool- eJLjGreensboro Daily News. VrliPi Ciiilit CAN’T EAT A^URAMCES (#in8ton-Salem-Joornal) One of the most exasperating habits of the Washington hierarchy of conunodtty experts and controllers is that of rushtag iPtp pript Fhene«f m some important food or ottier necesmty eventuit^ tf> ' otters that ttere is no real ttortai and 'others that there is no real ttortage in that typa of fpp4a—’ttat cpiianipaff are merely laboring under an illusion. Paul Porter h^ this habit jratter VPll developed. Just a few days ago when customers could find no meat in the mar kets he very blandly assured all and .sun dry that the shortage was a “myth-” A myth? Even doughty John L. Lewis, Napoleon of the union world which has been fighting tooth and nail for the reten tion of OPA controls, proclaims the meat shortage is no myth. Lewis has reversed the usual union line by demanding the end of meat price ceilings, declaring ttat meat shortages are causing and threaten ing to cause work stoppages in various mines. It may be true enough that many of the shortages of goods are artificial, that necessity goods are being hoarded or di verted into black markets. Rut so far as the average American customer is con cerned, these shortages exist—^th-ey are no myths. And few things are more irri tating to a householder who has scoured the town in vain to find a cake of laundry soap or a pound of beef roast than to have some Washington bureaucrat tell her that goods shortages are just a figment of her imagination—a myth, if you please! THE EVERYDAY COINSELOR Ey Rev. Herbert Spauffh, D. D. FIGHTING A BAD HABIT It is one thing to form a bad habit, and it is another thing to fight and overcome it. Multitudes of people are simply over come and defeated in life by bad and ruinous habits, and it seems that the ma jority of them submit as though they ab solutely had to do so, without making any protest. This is a mistake that can be fa tal to both body and soul. However, be cause you are a slave to some bad habit, don’t think you have to remain a slave. Arouse and bestir yourself, and all that is noble, great and good about you and within you, against such a habit. Don’t willingly submit as though you are doom ed to hold on to the habit as long as you live, or believe the habit has to hold on to you because it has gripped your very life and soul. Arouse yourself and raise a mighty protest against the habit. No person should willingly and wilfully ac cept a bad habit, and let its grip fasten itself stronger and stronger about the life. To do this is amply to take suffering, loss of health, money, time and talent, and eventually the loss of the soul, as if it had to be. Gor forbid. One should fight a bad habit as he would a viper that is fastening itself a- bout his body to take his life. Indeed a habit that is injurious to the body, the health, the mind, the morals and the soul is more deadly than a poisonous viper. The deadly viper may take one’s life, but the bad, ruinous habit will not only take the life, but it will destroy the soul in a devil’s hell. Therefore fight it with all your might. Never, NEVEIR submit to it. If it has gripped your life like fetters and chains, use all the will power you have against it, and use every means you can summon against it. Call mightily upon God for help. Ask the prayers of God’s people in your behalf. Bead t^e Rjjjle and get every promise you can find that may help you to overcome the habit and stand upon them wi^|i all the ypu pap sum- fppp. Neygp ceaae fighting the deyil tt*t has ^pundi you with the bad habit Plead tffe precious ^lood of* ^esus for'complete delivei^nce apd etpn^al victpir- Thpre is “X’Te t)««« ritttW ap Vhn the son of (he flick ther you were elttlng op '?4th,” •WM the difiughtW’* to father’s question shoot where she hsd been optU«three a. m. . . .
