The goal of $4,500 has been set for the two organizations. These funds will go for maintenance of the present Scout program and for ex pansion. The Scouting programs need no intro duction. The people of the county should by now realize that Scouting is essential to boys and girls. The various activities prepare them for citizenship. There is no better investment than in building men and women of character, integrity and usefulness. Scouting represents one of the best me diums to accomplish the desired results. It is hoped that all persons contacted will make a.'i liberal donations as possible to the Scouting fund. Which Way? There is no point in arguing whether or not this countrj" can afford a $300,000,- 000,000 debt. We’ve got it. The real point is what we are EoiiUT Only two courses are opeif to us. We can keep up public spending at the present rate, let the budget remain un balanced and further depreciate the dol lar. This will make a future depression inevitable and imperil the war bonds, savings accounts, and insurance policies of all the people. Or we can tighten our belts, cut gov ernment costs to the limit, start regular debt retirement procedures—and even tually pull out with a sound dollar and a solvent nation. The choice rests with the people them selves. Rural Industries The eight-county rural industries meet ing planned here December 2 should be a most interesting conference. Leading citizens of eight northwestern North Carolina counties will meet here to review their prospects for more industry. The economic planning behind the move has the correct approach in that new industries should be those of the type which can and would use available raw materials and resources in rural areas. There is a movement throughout the countr>' for diversification of industry. The larger business firms have found that plants outside of metropolitan areas ope rate more smoothly and have greater pro duction than in congested cities. The answer lies in the fact that rural and small town industry secures better types of employes than in metropolitan districts. In small towns and rural areas factory workers own their homes, they are interested in their homes* their com munity, their neighbors, their churches and their schools. Usually, they have room to live—a large lot, or a few acres. They live close to nature. Every community is interested in new industries, but usually the effort is to get industry from outside. Often they over look the opportunities that mother, nature has provided—^the raw materials for man ufacture into useful things which the world wants and will pay for. — 0 Elections and Strikes Policy formers of the Political Action Committee, the C.

The American people had a right to be lieve during the war that within a year after the end of the shooting they would be able to obtain the things which they had managed to do without for the^sake of victory. And to a great eytent the pub lic was justified. The task of reconversion in many in stances was bungled, government restric tions on prices, quotas, • etc., restricted production more than prices. Black mar kets flourished and in order to get things to which they believed they were entitled, millions of Americans went into or patro nized black markets. m R P , ■ /f By DWIGHT NICHOl^ et «! woman of - ar»«M part* that I am and what I, *«ll.’' ' ' -7; adTertlalnr man The POOTBAIiL BXPBBT— Last week we picked football] winners at an amazingly high average of about 86 per cent, =sT«?.s- “Hoy long has It been iptnV' "dh, I din’t |now; 76 years "W^.- ti» riWf/Siwllafc’rv ^ - ’ this )And yet,” exclaimed the ad vertising man, "they ring the an ‘‘expert” was defined as fool. zeu um-n.

The home is a fundamental unit of de mocracy, and in a Christian civilization, the Christian home must be preserved at all cost. With homes crashing all about us, and the majority of the problem's which come to this desk having to 404^*.® with disordered domestic relations, it shouldn’t be so hard to understand why I write so much about the home. Just now before me is a letter from an intelligent, cultured, professional middle- aged woman, a personal friend, who was just recently married. I wrote her ex tending my congratulations. In reply I re ceived a lovely letter, one sentence of which I must pass on: “With so many homes falling apart to day, I thought long and seriously about forsaking a very satisfactory way of life for a home and husband. After all- I rea soned, the basic fundamentals of a happy, successful marriage haven’t changed, and so long as two people love each other, and are accustomed to solving their problems on their knees, they ought to be able to manage.” This thoughtful women has summed up in one sentence, the key to a successful marriage. This is true, whether partici pants are at the threshold of of life, at middle age, or even in what is so-called old age. The time was when I thought it was foolish for older people, who were widows or widowers, to undertake a second mar riage late in life. My attitude towards this has changed, as I have learned to under stand marriage in its fullest implication. A successful marriage is fundamentally a fine companionship. It is a union of two lives for the sharing together of the finer things of life. It is much more than an arrangement for physical satisfaction and the rearing of children. I have written sev- real columns on this, reprints of which are available ta those who write enclosing a self addressed stamped envelope. A successful marriage demands physi cal and spiritual love, companionship, and an ability for husband and wife to solve their problems, “on their knees.” Without God a marriage is doomed to unhappiness* frustration, and failure. The nearest perfection in marriage is a perfect ability to give and take, an ability to share with one another and with others. To attain the utmost success, the con tracting parties should be of comparable age, preferably the man being older than the woman. But this age difference must not be too great. Again, I say, no marriage can suc ceed without God in the center of the home. average oI aooui bo per ceni, .... _ cinircn oeu every Sunday morn- whlch qualities us for an expert . rating.

It concerns a member of our profession, an advertising man, who was in the employ of a circus. It was ihls function to precede the circus into various commun ities, distribute tickets to the editor, put up on the barns pic tures of the bearded lady and the man-eating snakes, and fin ally to get in touch with the pro prietor of some store and per suade him to purchase the apace on either side of the elephant for his advertisement in the pa rade. •Coming one day to a cross- ^ome in and choose "her" diamond from on array of th® FINEST.
