S. Truesdale, pastor of the First M. E. church, Asheboro, spoke to the parents, pupils and teachers of Balfour school on Life’s Chapters, Friday night, March 11. Dr. Truesdale pointed out the abso lute necessity of a good foundation or opening chapter for childhood if it is to tie the masterpiece that parents and teachers desire as a finished work, j Childhood cannot accomplish this work alone. It must be guided by parents and teachers. Mrs. Xewlin, principal of Balfour school, has tried this year to see that every minute of the child’s school day is guided by some teacher. At 7:15 every morning some teach er goes on duty. She remains on duty until after the last bus runs in the afternoon. At all recesses two or three teach ers supervise the children’s play. Of course, it is impossible for the teach ers to hear and see everything 250 children do, but no child is ever out of sight or call of the teacher. If the home and school cooperates in the supervision of childhood’s work anti play hours then the chapters of each childs life will reflect this early supervision.

All Stores Share Buyers Were Not Partial In Taking Advantage Of Many Wonderful Bargains. Saturday wasn’t a “million dollar” event by any means for Asheboro merchants, but it was the best mer chandising day they have had since Christmas. Shoppers by the score, as if anticipating spring’s balmy opening on Sunday, poured into town and carried away thousands of dol lars worth of new merchandise, leav ing spot cash in payment for same. Merchants generally were pleased with response to their many wonder ful offerings as advertised in The Courier last week, and little merchan dise and no stores were overlooked in the buying spree that was general here Saturday. Practically every mer chant in town, if not all, moved a lot of goods from their stores—gnd gave value for value received. On Sunday there could be seen on the streets of the city evidence of Sat urday’s buying. There were new dresses, new coats, new hats, new shoes, new suits, new hose, galore, resembling the Easter parade, which of course, isn’t due until next Sunday. But with balmy weather obtaining throughout the week, Easter Sunday should show evidence of still further heavy buying this week.

The defendant, who is resident of Forsyth county, has de nied liability and has set up a count er claim of $200 for damage to his car. The accident occurred on state highway No. 90, between Brown’s Crossroads and Marley’s Mill, Ran dolph county, on the night of October 17, 1931.

Offers Bargain Price On Break Adjustments At Nance Chevrolet Tying in with the national moves toward greater safety of the high ways, R. E. Nance, secretary and treasurer of the Nance Chevrolet Co., local Chevrolet dealers, announced to day that beginning the week of March 28 his organization will offer all Chevrolet owners a special bargain price on brake adjustments for the week only. This move is the first of a series of special services to be offered over a period of weeks by the Nance Chevro let Company in the interest of im proving the operation of owners’ cars prior to the heavy motoring season, at rates in line with the general level of prices, Mr. Nance said. “Correct brake adjustment is the greatest single factor -toward insur ing safety of the highways,” Mr. Nance pointed out. “In offering this service at a special price for one week only, we feel that we are contribut ing to a safer motoring season.” “The driver with faulty brakes has a constant worry on his mind. He fhils to get the enjoyment out of a trip that he should get, because he is driving under constant nervous ten sion. He lacks the confidence in. his car that sure-acting brakes give him. He knows that he is liable to an ac cident which correctly - adjusted brakes might have prevented.” Friends Will Meet Southern Quarterly meeting .of Friends will be Held in A*eboro en Saturday, March 8*.

Randolph county reported 3035 farms having 72,050 acres planted to its principal crops in 1931. While these were not all of the acres plant ed, yet it indicates that a real farm survey was made. The one for 1932 is due in April. We said last week that we would tell in this issue the reasons why a county farm survey is made. It is an inventory. It is educational. It tells what we have and where it is. Briefly stated, it provides facts that farmers may well use for safely planning their crop acreages. It is well known that manufactur ers, professional and commercial in terests are organized. They all keep daily records of “out-go” and “in come,” as well as yearly inventories of what they have on hand. The weak link in our farmers work is that these essential features are usually left out. By knowing the crop acreages each year, comparisons are available. Thus, we know how much each crop is in creased or reduced. We know when they are unbalanced—too much or too little of certain essential crops and livestock. We may locate where to buy or to sell to advantage. Since individual farmers seldom really study and use statistical re ports, they shy that they never see these Farm Census reports. • It is, therefore, necessary for this informa tion to be interpreted and “passed on.” Thus the County Farm Agents and Agricultural Teachers are its main agents. Next week, we will tell “Why the Farm Census does not help the specu lators, but does help the farmers.” Be thinking about your crop acreage plans for this year and make a list of them—for your own information.
