C. x | 40-3t Z BETTERMENT OF RURAL CONDITIONS IS URGED 1925 Social Service Conference Also Stresses Prison Reform and Work Among Negroes. A study of rural life in North Car olina with a view to bettering con ditions was the task before the re cent Conference for Social Service held at Asheville early in July. The farmer with his social and financial problems; the agricultural back ground of the State; the various agencies dealing with rural life prob lems; plans for beautifying town and country —each received the atten tion of the delegates, led by compe tent authorities. "In North Carolina,'" Roy M. Brown declared at one of the meet ings, "the farmer is a neighbor to his neighbor. He is rarely without interest in his neighbor. Three pri mary calamities may befall a man; his wife may die, his only cow may die, or his house may be burned. In the first instance the good women of the neighborhood after a few weeks set about trying to help him supply his loss by advising him in the selec tion of a new wife. In either of the last two, the neighbors often contri bute materially toward buying a new cow or building a new house. In other sections the emphasis as to pri mary calamities may shift, but the spirit everywhere, I have no doubt, is the same. His neighbor aids him in periods of financial distress; he nurses him when he is sick —not in frequently nurses him to death, but his intentions are good; he buries him when he is dead. He knows his neighbors. Sometimes he knows too much about his affairs. His contacts with him are intimate. We often hear that one of the defects of coun try life is lonesomeness. And there are those who having once strayed from the country lanes and tasted the ai'tificial stimuli of Main Street are not more content in the country, just as there is an occasional countryman who must have his apple cider dis tilled; but to one who loves the coun try, country life is not lonesome. The average family in Watauga has more intimate contacts with his neighbors than the average family in Raleigh." It was upon this essential quality of helpfulness that the whole pro gram of rural betterment was built. Cooperation in buying farm materials and in marketing crops, increased home ownership, better recreational, religious and educational facilities; extensive country planting of trees and flowers; rotation and variation of crops were among the plans ad vanced. With the exception of the prison reform conference on Thursday morning, the most interesting meet ing was that on the subject of social service work done among the negro people. Dr. Newbold, the presiding officer, called on Mrs. Johnson to tell of the growth of the welfare work among the negroes. Mrs. John son told of the work which has been done by Lieut. Oxley, Director of the Bureau of Work among the Negroes of the State Board of Public Wel fare. Dr. W. L. Poteat stated tnat "our problem in dealing with the negro race is only a small detail of the gen eral problem, for the" main problem of human life is that of living to gether amicably and peacefully. America has been called the melting pot, but there cannot be a blending of race characteristics; that would be a case of biological ungodliness. Our individuality consists of our pe culiarities. Yet one must subordi nate one's interests to those of the community. It is our duty to exer cise the mind and spirit of Christ." Details of an excellent piece of educational work done among the negroes in Halifax County, where they form 60 per cent of the popu lation, were explained by Mr. A. E. Akers, who has increased the face value of the negro school building from SIO,OOO to $125,000 in the ten years that he has worked there. Addresses by Br. Ashby Jones, of Atlanta; Gutzon Borglum and Mr. Paul Lindley, of Greensboro, com pleted the program. Many courtesies were extended members of the con ference by the people of AshevilJe. "Now, Bobby!" said his mother sternly, "did you ask Mrs. White for that cooky?" "No, mother, I didn't. I jes' saw a plate full of cookies in her kitchen and I said, 'You is sure some cook, Mrs. White, if I's any judge.' An' she gimme one to see was I."—Boston Transcript.

CHURCH NEWS (Methodist News-Herald) Miss Evelyn Waddell is at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, taking a six weeks course in recrea tional leadership. In addition to her other duties Miss Waddell will be the head resident worker at the commu- nity house which is now under con- struction in Spindale, The following new members have been received by letter during the month of July: Mrs. Russell Moi gan, Miss Dora Potts, Mrs. Brackett, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur W.

On Sunday, August 16th, a re vival meeting wil begin at Alexander. ir\ev. J. O. Ervin, of Rutherfordton, will do the preaching during this week of special intensive effort. It will be a delight to have Brother Ervin with us. On Sunday morning, Juiy 26th, following the sermon, the entire official board pledged to pray daily and use their personal influence otherwise to the end that we may have a genuine revival. All other members are urged to follow their example. Through an inadvertence, the an nouncement of the birth of William Carver Johnson, son of Mr. W. A. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson, of Alex ander, was omitted from the last is sue of the News-Herald. The young gentleman was born May 21st. Mrs. Jake Yelton, of Spindale, who was seriously injured in an automo bile accident several weeks ago, has been brought home from the Ruther ford hospital and is reported rest ing comfortably. The good ladies of the community remembered her with a linen shower one evening this week. The Wesley Bible classes of Spin dale are having a get-togetlmr meet ing Saturday night at the school building. All members are invited to be present and to bring their friends. A pleasant evening is assured. of climate—pays in gold. Here you are in Carolina's glorious mountains, but recently, in fact discovered by the rich—where a most equitable -climate is found, where the scenery is incomparable—where fortunes, by the creation of new wealth, more spectacular than any yet of record, will write a story of daring—of good judgment used—of men and women whose faith in the charm of their own land led them to "crack down" at the first big opportunity of their age. Get yourself in the picture! There are many avenues to wealth— not just one. Naturally we recommend our own. Come and see. Compare. Then "crack down!" fn tl P P. L.

How is it that the idealisms of our time leave us morally about where we were? Are we less in ear nest than before? Are our energies used up in talking, with none left for action? Do we accept the dis cussion of ideals as a substitute for the effort to act up to them? Who ever answers these questions will throw light on one of the most per plexing phenomena of our time. —L. P.
