Thursday, Aug. 28, 1947 New Industries Are Welcomed To Community It is production that adds to the wealth and well being of any community. It is production that accounts for the things which we want and which are sold for money. Business activity might well be divided into three* parts: agriculture, commerce and industry. But it is agriculture and in dustry which produce the wealth. Com mercial activity is merely the transferring from one to another. Without production, commerce must -wither away and vanish., Recently several new industries have started in this and adjacent communities. The latest announcement came from Sky land Textile company, which is opening a plant for the manufacture of anklets. Lumber and woodworking plants, includ ing Sidden Furniture company and Eller's Lumber Supply comprise the larger units of other new industries. Announcement is expected within a few days relative to a proposed plant for the processing, sale and distribution of an important farm pro duct in Wilkes. ' Industrial possibilities here have hard ly been tapped. There remain great quan tities of raw materials which are in con stant production, and natural resources are ideal. Productive enterprise in agriculture and industry are the answer to our future as a community. It is agriculture and in dustry which must produce wealth and must be of sufficient scope for the em ployment of large numbers if we are to grow as we should. During the past two years many have invested heavily in various types of hous es for commerce, not only here but along the highways in this community. But they do not produce, Ihey merely trade in things already produced. Great strides have been made in agri cultural production in Wilkes, and much greater improvement is expected in the next few years. The prospects are bright for more productive and more prosperous agriculture. Particularly in dairying has the county done exceptionally well, and production per acre for field crops is go ing up rapidly because of sensible meth ods of farming. The poultry industry has reached large proportions and Wilkes ap ples will continue to lead the state. Investors should consider in a more favorable light productive enterprise, in stead of trying to crowd the field of com mercial activity. When you produce some thing you add to the cumulative total of wealth. When you trade you add noth ing but merely exchange what someone else produced. We heartily welcome the new indus tries already started and congratulate the owners on their vision and foresight in locating in the best community in the world. Borrowed Cowment ? SCHOOLS AND THE PUBLIC (Reidsville Review) The superintendent of the Milwaukee public schools, Lowell P. Goodrich, speak ing before a conference on parent-teach er leadership at Northwestern University claimed that the people in general take no interest in public school programs of study. "The schools belong to the people di rectly and to the people as represented by school boards or laymen alone," administrator. Milwaukee has made a start in improving: the situation by calling: in during the past two years representa tives of civic, professional, labor and ser vice organizations, and a social and youth agencies, for advice and help with school1 curricula. There is much to be said in favor of this co-operation in planning, but on the other hand, who is better qualified to map i out school prpgrams than those who are chosen to run the schools?x Nowadays, teachers and school administrators are! not hampered by an ivory-tower attitude. I For the most part they are widely inform- I ed and keep up-to-date on all questions! relating to their jobs. They are more in I need of understanding support than of I outside advice. Secretary of War Kenneth Royall is to address the 4-H clubs at State College Au gust 22; but this should not be taken to mean that he is going to run against Kerr Scott for commissioner of agriculture in next year's primary.?Greensboro Daily I News. . ' I T 14 F EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. "Give me Lord, the serenity to accept what I cannot change; the courage to change what I should; the wisdom to dis tinguish between them." This prayer, at tributed to Saint Francis of Assisi, has been passed on to me by a. correspondent who has found it helpful. It is one of the choice prayers of all time. It could profit ably be placed on the walls of every of fice, shop and home. How we all need the philosophy con tained in that prayer. How we fight a gainst, fame about those things which we cannot change or alter. They're out of our control. Yet we use up so much energy and time on them that we don't have enough left to changing those things which we should and can. Individually, neither you or I can do much about improving relations between our State Department and Russia, and their relation towards the world peace. But we can do something about winning the peace in our own hearts, and improv ing the relations in our own homes be tween the members of our own family. Ah yes! We can do that. But we want to do something bigger. We want to join the League for the Preservation of De mocracy, all the while forgetting that there may be some little democrats back home where we can make our influence felt for good much more, than by writing speeches and > articles and signing peti tions for world peace. From my observation as a pastoral counselor, the battlefields within the hu man heart and mind concern us more right now than possible, world battlefields of tomorrow. There are some things that we simply can't change, and have to endure. Well, then, who not endure them grace fully, pray for strength to hear them. WellK then, why not endure them grace fully, pray for strength to bear them. There's no use getting all steamed up over circumstances, conditions and people whnm we can't change. We only get a phobia or complex on the subject. Some of us have jobs to do which we dislike, but have to do. Well, then! Go on and do them gracefully. Don't be one of those who is a chronic complainer. You make yourself unhappy and everybody else a round you. The biggest task of all is to be able to discern what we can change and what we can't. That takes judgment, and dis cernment. Of this we can all be certain, that when we start out on any reforma tion program to improve conditions which surround us, the first one to start on is ourselves. That's where .any adequate reformation program must commence. Serenity, peace and contentment^ as far as you're concerned, stem back into your heart. I know of no better way to secure them than to live in the daily conscious presence of your Lord. When you make peace with your Lord and your fellow man, you're at peace with yourself. abnormal ??*! By DWIGHT NICHOLS et al CRAZY YARNS? The unfortunate persons who mutt of necessity be confined to hospitals for the insane have been the source of many humor ous yams.
