Very few realize how many grown people cannot write | their own names. What happens when these adult illiterates marry I and have families? Mothers who can not read labels on buttles and cans jeopardize all their households. Young husbands who cannot sign their names have a poor prospect for j supporting their offspring. Illiteracy’s big percentage is South.. In North Carolina there are 210,328,, •>r 10 per cent of the population. It . is estimated that in a lifetime the; total loss to the state from ignorance | is the huge sum of 88,041,000,000! : The pr -entage for the United States, is 4.3 per cent. The cost to the parents of educat ing, feeding and clothing a child to ■ IB is S3,210. To the state the cost is 8420. Compared with the actual cost! to both of ignorance this sum is j trivial. I h o average college graduate earns in a life-time $13G,000. A high school graduate §60,000. Elementary Iuml( v 7th grade) $30,000. Below ihat it is a great big ??—“day labor er,'' uncertain income Does educa tion nay? Ami money is not the only cost. There are juvenile and criminal courts and what not. Transylvania is not the worst off, 'nit some of these uneducated arc in it. These Emergency teachers have nr lied perhaps most of these, and >vith public encouragement and stim ulation can do their bit toward “wiping out illiteracy in this genera tion.” There arc 25 teachers approved for this work, some of them already teaching large classes. They abo give instruction on health, 'citizen hip, and kindred subjects. Uncle Sam is in earnest about tin;. fur it is bound up with the unemploy ment situation.

OAK GROVE HOME COMING OBSERVED _ LAKE TOXAWAY, Oct. 17— The! celebration of home coming day at! Oak Grove Baptist church last Sun-, day was in almost every respect the ^ greatest home coming occasion the church has ever had. Former pastors | were present, former members long I scattered to other communities were mingling with the crowd with faces j beaming with the joy ol the occasion as well as pleasant memories of the , past, and former citizens of the com-j munity who are living in other com-1 munities and other states, were in evidence, smiling in a way that man ifested geniality of spirit and giving a hearty hand shake to many old acquaintances from whom they had j long been separated. All the present members and citizens of the com munity who were present were shar ing with the'visitors in the joys of ; the occasion. Some one said that this home coming day is typical ol the home coming day toward which we are traveling; that “In the Sweet Here and Now” is only a crystal dew ; drop as compared with the great ocean of “In the Sweet By and By that awaits us just a short while in the future. Because of the unavoidable absente . of the pastor, Rev. J. E. Burt, the welcome address was delivered b> , T C. Henderson. The response was, made by Rev. E. R. Pendleton of Brevard. In a forceful, instructive and soul inspiring manner, Hon., Ralph H. Ramsey of Brevard deliver-, ed the principal address of the day. For this church home coming occas ion, he had selected as his theme ••The Church and Its Influence on the Social and Spiritual Uplift cl , Our Communities.” Appropriate toi the occasion was his theme and ex ceedingly well did ne present it. The great tnrong of people present: enjoyed to the full the excellent i music of the day, which was fur-1 nished by Frank Raines and family of Middle Fork, the Polly Phonic i Quartet and the Fowler Duet ol Greenville, and the Burns Quartet ol Cedar Mountain. It was the general opinion of the congregation that finer music could not. be furnished | this fide of heaven. At the noon nour me tames uut| in the grove were loaded almost to , the breaking point with nearly every j conceivable variety of good things to j eat. One could imagine that it sur passed the feast of Belshazzar, be cause it had all the excellencies of his feast without the curse of his wine. While the crowd was apparent ly the largest, that has ever assein-1 bled on the grounds of Oak Grove, Baptist church for an occasion ol : this kind, there was no occasion for anv one to leave the table without having fully satisfied bis physical needs and desires for the day. Some who were invited to lie pres ent and participate in this home com ing occasion had to decline because ol previous engagements. They are be ing notified now that, the next home coming day at Oak Grove Baptist church is to be on the second Sunday in October. 1935, and they are being asked to make their plans to be pres ent next year.
