The Everjajay^ Counselor Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. * ■V True freedom means above all HMJt being in bondage to self. -Many of those who clamor most lor freedom know least what it as. This is particularly true of .young people just entering man ffwod and womanhood. 1 have just been out to address a group 'Of high school boys and girls, 'Stoncerning their relations with ■ other people, particularly with <one another. I told them of the several ages through which a <dbild passes until he reaches ma uurity. They are these: 1 The Knee-age, when the ■rhUd is around mother’s knee. 2 The See-age, when they want to see with their hands ev erything within reach, asking in raumerable questions. 3. The Me-age, when they want everything for themselves. 4. The We-age, when they play ia gangs. 5. The He-She-age, when they 'become interested in those of the •.apposite sex. * The Free-age, when they are • recorded the privilege of voting. 7 The Marri-age. 1 told them that unless they -**med in these various ages to -hvr according to the laws of God and man, dealt fairly with their parents, teachers, and those of ■She opposite-sex, marri-age would be bond:age. More people are in bondage to sell than to any other persons or things They commence this bondage during adolescence, when they attempt to throw off ^the restraints of the home, the school, the Church. They seem 'to think that by flouting and ig noring the laws of God and man, fthey are expressing their free <3ona. instead they are doing the 'opposite. No one ean disregard The laws of God and man, and snot place himself in bondage to -’self. There is no more bitter slavery than that to an outraged - -iose’who think they can break jaws of God, end in breaking d themselves. : ‘ Each week many young people troop through our police courts. As police chaplain, I learn of them. They have violated the laws of God and man. Many of them are cold and hard about it. They think they are expressing freedom. They are doing the op posite; 'they are placing them selves in slavery to an outraged conscience, and to the most dead ly poison in the world, sin. Un forgiven sin means death and hell —here and hereafter. Timely Hints When frost comes, the first veg etables to be harvested for stor age are beans, winter squash and pumpkins. These tender vege tables must not remain out of doors in a freezing temperature. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants should also be gathered, but these vegetables cannot be stored for any length of time. 4 Don’t be in a hurry to dig and store your root crops. This ap plies to beets, carrots, rutabagas and turnips. Leave them in the ground until heavy frost, even after the tops have died down, but of course remove them before the ground freezes hard. They keep better after low temperatures have caused the cells to fill up with starch and sugar, while the water content becomes less. A good inch of stem should be left on carrots, beets, turnips rutabagas, and onions, when har vesting for storage. Root crops should be stored in a cool, ventilated cellar or stor age room; in a garage, if heated, or until freezing weather arrives; in a cellar window-well; in a straw-lined pit in the ground and covered with dirt; in barrels, box es, or cans sunk into the ground and covered with a foot of soil. Warning: The vegetables must not freeze.

Parsnips and salsify (oyster plant) may be left in the ground all winter. In fact, the flavor is improved by freezing. All mem- 1 bers of the cabbage family will ' stand a good deal of frost. Broc coli will keep on bearing until 1 late autumn; so will Brussel I sprouts. Cabbage and cauliflow- I er are frost resistant. But cab- i bage should be stored in a cool place after real freezing weather 1 comes. 1 Thrifty gardners who have ' space for storage, grow enough ‘ vegetables not only to eat and to 1 can, but to lay away for winter use.

SALE CONDUCTED BY Parsons Auction Company Independence, Va. Galax, Va. , Sellers of the Earth .. , ■■■■■Mm Music By String Band SPECTACLES By Blanche Jones Lewis - -— — -' Hello there! The spectacles this week are on a new person —new to most of you, though I don’t feel much like a new per son after having been here for several days. I know so many of you already and you have been so cordial and kind and have made me feel so welcome. If I should say “thank you” for that, I am sure you would feel insulted, because I have found that those are your natural char acteristics. But it has made me very happy and glad to be here. You know, a new editor com ing into a town is much like a lew preacher coming into town, rhey are both very much in the Dublic eye, the editor because of vhat he or she writes, and the it eacher because of what he says, rhey have a lot of the same prob ems and make a lot of the same nistakes. There’s the problem of jetting settled, and meeting the aeople, and preaching the first termon or getting out the first ssue of the paper. And they nake some of the same inevitable nistakes — calling Mrs. Jones drs. Smith and Mrs. Brown, Mrs. 31ack. And if it’s a preacher, he steps >n somebody’s toes in his first :ermon, and if it’s an editor, she eaves something out of the paper hat should have been there, or >uts something in that should not lave been there. Critics have not ret decided which is worse. But people are kind and gener >us. They realize that no one >erson can accurately put togeth ;r all the names and faces in Sparta in just a few days time ind they know that any mistake nade was not intentional. And vith your consideration and co iperation, we, together will make his the very best newspaper that t can possibly be. I know you ire proud of your newspaper be ause you have told me so and know you are cooperative be ause the publishers have told oe so. It’s YOUR newspaper and am here to help you with it. As I am writing this column, have been in Sparta three days nd a little part of ahother one. could go into pages of poetic /riting, if I were a poet, about he beautiful country surround ig uui mvwc 111 WpVfllO. ave seen it yourself and you :now that I do not have the words i my vocabulary to describe it. )ne of the current magazines has color photo of the New Hamp hire woods at this season of the ear and it could easily have been scene from our own mountains. But during my short stay here have been in something of a /hirl. Alleghany’s favorite son, Congressman Doughton, who has iis office in the same building /ith us, kept me moving all day Saturday trying to keep up with dm. He was in and out of the loor every three or four minutes nd each time with a different ierson. He introduced them all o me and they all had the same tory to tell—of their great ad niration for the Congressman. )ther people wandered in too— o “take a look at the new editor” ind to extend f welcome to Sparta and Alleghany county. * On Sunday I went to the Lay nen's Service at, file Sparta Bap-, ist Church' ap^ heard several aymen wfco had qgisped their all >rei iat back is his pew. and enjpyed t all—listening to his own mem* >ers performing, from his pulpit. and »» ab&iiltriflD tl wages* of t between Sparta ft West Jefferson, ves, the former ed to her successor the school football team. e legacy with much in* ;erest and enthusiasm and to hem I’ll add the Sparta baseball earn for its magnificient perform ince on Sunday.

And don’t think I didn’t listen, because I did, and don’t think I wasp’t interested, because I 'waS.'* T won’t hold it “against” you—just “over”, yoa! NO, se riduSly, I spent most of the time in those conversations trying to get “families” straightened out. So many people here are related, in a vague sort of way, to so many other people here, some by the same name and some by differ ent names, that one must be care ful what one says about whom! I think I have met about six Mrs. Joines since I have been here and if they are related at all, it is very distantly. I suppose you could walk down the street most any morning and say “Good morning Mrs. Joines” and some body would answer. Of-course I have met so many people and this column could go on and on telling my impressions of them and of Sparta, but all of that will find its way into this space sooner or later. Right now thg deadline for this has arrived and we’ll have to leave those other things until next week. But U MO SPEAIC SUNDAY R m .. Dr. Ansley C.
