Thursday, May 5, 1949 Honor Mother . ,.£ > On Mother's Day It is indeed appropriate that one sabbath in the year be set aside to honor your greatest friend—-Mother. Sunday, May 8, will be her day. For the more fortunate it will be the opportunity to visit mother and by your presence, words and gifts show your appreciation for her life and yours. For the less fortunate it will be the day to honor the memory of mother who has passed unto life eternal # "Lincoln was credited with saying "All that I am or ever hope to be I owe to my mother." Mothers mould a nation's future. The impressions gained in very young lives by the loving guidance of mother can never, be erased. The love of a mother for son or daughter reaches farther and lasts longer th&n any other affection known to the human race. It knows no limits, and though the offspring may decline into darkest depths of degradation, mother's love will not expire. Let us on Mother's Day be Sincerely thankful for the life of mother and honor her to the best of our ability. A i Who Should Visit Cancer Detection Center? On April 24 the Cancer Detection Centter to be set up by the Wilkes-Alleghany Medical Society and health department will open in the Wilkes courthouse and will be open each Tuesday for examination of people for cancer. This center will give all an opportunity to obtain a cancer diagnosis examination Without charge. There will be no treatment at the center, but efforts will be made to locate and diagnose cancer in early stages so that treatment can be obtained and death prevented. The center will be open to all over 40 years of age, or any younger persons who have reasons to believe that they may have cancer. Attention is called to the fact that cancer does occur in younger people and if there are those who have symptoms they should lose no time in finding out whether or not they may have cancer. Physicians will devote their time N as volunteers to serve in the center. The junior Woman's club will be very helpful in sponsoring the project and la famishing volunteer personnel as nurse aides and Receptionists. The health department of North Carolina will furnish equipment. The center apparently will have maximum cooperation of the agencies involved. The people should use the services to be offered for their own protection. Seven danger signals have been outlined by the health department. Those who have these symptoms should be the first to visit the clinic: An unexplained lump or thickening, especially in the breast. Any irregular or unexplained( bleeding. A sore that does not heal, particularly about the mouth, tongue, or Hps. Noticeable changes in the color or sise fof a mole or wart. Loss of appetite or continued unexplained indigestion. Any persistent change in bewel habit. Any persistent hoarseness or unexplain Governor Praises Rural Homemakers North Carolina's 59,8Jf5 home demonstration. club members were congratulated this week by Governor Scott upon the "remarkable development" they have brought about in the rural life of the State ' 'through improved home and community living." Greeting the club women as they began their observance of National Home Demostration Week, May 1-7, Governor Scott said: "In your theme, 'Today's Home Builds Tomorrows World,' you have sounded a ringing challenge, because upon the home rests the primary responsibility for developing the citizens of tomorrow." Scott's statement follows: "To the 59,835 Home Demonstration Club Members in North Carolina: "It is a privilege to greet you as you observe National Home Demonstration Week, May 1-7. In your theme, 'Today's Home Builds Tomorrow's World' you have sounded a ringing challenge, because upon the home rests the primary responsibility for developing the citizens of tomorrow. "As Home Demonstration Club Members, you have already bought about a remarkable development in the rural life of our State through improved home and community living. "During this week you will hot only participate in programs calling attention to the progress made in family living, but you will discuss problem* facing today's homes.

Herbert Sp&ugh, D. D. "Plan your work and then work your plan." I know no better motto for busy people. We are living in a day when we hear continually the excuse, "I didn't have time. That excuse was worn out long ago. If we are honest we must admit that we have time to do the things we really want to do. Those things that we think we do not have time to do are the things which we do not want 'to do as badly as some others. Of course all of us are bound by the same time limitations. There are not more than 24 hours in a day. All of us must learn to choose the things that we consider important, and then put aside the less important. Some of us find It hard to say No. I am one of those: It is much easier to promise to do things, than to actually accomplish them. It is much better to choose a few things that we think we can do well and then do them thoroughly, rather than trying to do a number of things and end up in doing them poorly. Many conscientiously plan their work, but they forget to plan for the interruptions which are bound to come. Long ago I learned that fully half of my day would Tjc taken up with things for which I had not planned, interruptions if you like to <call them that. A study of the life of Jesus amazes one in its revelation of how much He did that was not planned for. People were coming to Him all day long, without appointment. He never turned them away. Even the man whose friends broke through the roof of the house to get him to Jesus, interrupting the Master in the midst of His teaching, was rewarded at once. A blind beggar wh® stopped a procession was rewarded immediately. ' Jesus planned His day to care for the many interruptions which he knew would come. This was one of the secrets of His success in meeting the demands of the public. When we plan our work, we can ^flan for interruptions as well. Remember that life's greatest opportunities come to us at unexpected moments and in unexpected ways. Be prepared for them. ABNORMAL ABSURDITIES Bj O WIGHT NICHOLS et *1 HOW TO DANGER— After his first dancing leBBon, little Butch was asked by his mother how he got along. "Aww, its easy," he explained; "all you got to do is keep turning around and wiping your shoes on the floor."

SLIGHTLY EXAGGERATED— A Texan heard that a factory was interested in buying bullfrog skins. He wired the company that he could supply any quantity up to 100,000 on demand. Needing the Bkins badly, the factory promptly wired back to send in the whole 100,000. About ten days later a single dried frog skin came through the mail with a rather pathetic letter: "Gents: I'm sorry about this, but here's all the frog skins there were. The noise sure fooled me." JUST IN CASE— In his Tftoai at the State institution sat & ih&ft wfifese only article of etethiag was a. hat. "Ld©k, an attendant said) "that* way to be sitting arouhd.

"See, I told you honesty f>ays!" she said when she returned. "I handed the driver a quarter and he gave me change for 50 cents." HIGHEST VALUE— A nickel's best value is a telephone call to the right woman. FINIS— A salesman was traveling a country road when suddenly he Baw a house burning. Running up, he pounded lustily on the door until an old woman opened it "Lady, your house is on fire!'' he cried excitedly. "Eh?" "I say your house is on fire!"
