North Carolina, as Second-Class fatter .uaei Act of March 4. lS7f. Monday, August 15,1949 Forestry Practices Should Be Reworded Efforts are being made to have the Triple A farm program include forestry practices, which would be rewarded with Triple A payments. In view of the fact that Wilkes county is one of the principal timber producing counties in the state, it stands to reason that forestry practices, including timber thinning, stand improvement and tree planting, should be rewarded. Wilkes county has. more than 300,000 acres of woodlands. In 1947 in Wilkes county 200 sawmills cut over 46,000,000 board feet of lumber. The labor payroll in the lumber indus try for one year was over one and one quarter million dollars. The sad side of the picture shows that timber is being cut faster than it is being grown. Woodland owners need some encour agement in their efforts to produce more timber. The Triple A should help. A. H. Maxwell, of Lenoir, farm forester of the state forestry department, spends two days each week working in Wilkes. His services should be utilized to a maxi mum and he is available for leadership in checking and helping the. Triple A in ad ministration of benefits for forestry work. o Democracy's Oxygen Visiting German students, after a year in American schools, said that democracy was something they could not study but that they could feel it. Our democracy was probably like fresh air to them. The exhilaration and pleasure of "living in it" was like the life-giving effect of oxygen in the air we breathe. The things that give life to our democracy are our free institutions and an opportun ity to live a life unmolested by powers beyond our control. Some of the elements that caused the German students to "feel" our democracy are a Constitution to protect the rights of individuals, legislative bodies to form the laws, a judiciary system to interpret the laws, and last but not least, private en terprise as the tangible evidence of the freedom enjoyed by our citizens. It is no wonder the German students "inhaled the oxygen" of our democracy. Borrowed Comment THE ORDERLY WAY ? (Statesville Daily Record) Fortunately the House Un-American Activities Committee appears to have given up any idea of delving into Federal Judge Samuel H. Kaufman's conduct of the Hiss trial. Congress, as the arm of government closest to the people, definitely has a re sponsibility to exercise a certain general guardianship over the judiciary. But a "hands off" policy seems wisest except where evidence suggests flagrant violation of the letter and spirit of justice. Nothing said by any critical congress man indicates such violation in the Hiss trial. Had the case resulted in a verdict, either the prosecution or the defense could have turned to the appeals court for remedy against possible errors by the trial judge. - That is the orderly way and it is a good way. ? LIFE'S BETTER WAY ? WALTER E. ISENHOUR High Point, N. C., Route 4 TOO LATE She kissed the old man; she showered upon him kisses and tears. She told all the people how good he was. I thought if she had only given half a dozen of those kisses a year for the last ten years, how the tender-hearted old gentleman would have smiled through his tears. But now he took it all so co.oly. He was dead. He was old and poor; she was young and rich. She had ten rooms, but no room for her father. Yet he made room for her when he had only two. The old man was not educated. She was?at his expense. He had fed and clothed her for twenty years at home and at college, until she had risen into more refined and cultured society, and married among new friends. The old people's address and dialect were too course. She kissed him, and buried him in a beautiful coffin. Dear father is to have a beautiful monument. A warm kiss while living is better than cold marble when dead.?Selected. We realize this is too true among lots of people. One of the great commandments God gave to Moses on Mt. Sinai for the Israelites, and for you and me today, is this: "Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." (Exodus 20:12). Too many fail to honor and obey their parents while they are liv ing, then when they die they give them a flower show. Maybe while their parents were living they neglected them, disobey ed them, grieved them, and sometimes spake hard and harsh words to them, but when they die they bring a lot of flowers and put them about the casket and upon I the grave, and shower them with praises. I It is then too late. It would be better to I spend the money with which to Christian ize the heathen than buy a lot of flowers for the funeral, which will soon wither on the grave. Young people, give your parents their flowers While they are living. It is better to praise them while they can know about it than wait until they have passed into eternity. Better speak kindly and lovingly to them now than wait to speak kindly about them when they are dead. ?tort the vay m. .with JFG SPECIAL COFFEE QpheTtw" Ji omen IN TH8 f IURCH rn?i Mrs. Dorothy Clarke Wilson, of Lewiston, Maine, the wife of a Methodist minister in that city, the Rev. Elwin L. Wilson, has been awarded the annual prize of |7,500 by the Westminster Press (Presbyterian publishing house) for "the best manuscript dealing with a fundamental hu man problem, either historic or contemporary." The historic nov el will be published under the title,-"Prince of Egypt," dealing with the early life and young manhood of Moses. Mrs. Wilson has already published two re ligious novels, dealing with the life of James, the brother of Jesus, and with the prophet Amos. The United Evangelical Luth eran Church of Australia has de cided to establish a deaconess order in that commonwealth, es pecially for work In church hos pitals and in mission parishes. The Church plans the opening o: a "motherhouee" in the near fu ture. Sister S. Lindner, a gradu ate nurse from the Royal Ade laide Hospital, has been named the first deaconess, and is now taking special training at Gee long, Victoria, following which she will take other studies at Welbourne University. The Christian church is mak ing a contribution to India and j Pakistan that is far greater than j the numerical strength of Chris-' tianity in the population of these ! new dominions, according to \ Miss Gail Asel, principal of the Forman Girls School, Lahore, Pakistan. "Deterioration of na tional life in China has cast a shadow over India and Pakistan," says Miss Asel. "The new im petus given by independence has awakened the people to the in tensity of mass poverty and ig norance. Old acceptance of pover ty and ignorance is turning into resentment. Many Muslim and Hindu leaders are obviously dead in earnest about the wel fare of their people. Too often they fail to solve the need. More and more officials are turning to Christian missions for guid ance. Missionaries are throwing much of their efforts into releas ing people from poverty, ignor ance, and despair. Technical Service Associations, rehabilita tlon projects, industrial trainln] and new educational program are setting standards for natij al development." o Each county In North Ca cooperating with the Depffrtmer of Conservation and ment's forest fire control * pro gram has a full time county forest warden.
