Under the law, which makes the trial judge a member of the board of par dons when a person convicted before him seeks clemency, Judge Ellis was one of those to vote to deny the re. quest for clemency.

Some of our prominent citizens asked:, “Who are these boys?’’ “Why are they coming?” “What is the good of these meet ings?” I am attempting to answer these questions. About ten years ago a number of religious and social workers organiz ed the Older Boys’ Conference. Meet ings are now held in almost every state from a state angle and on a smaller sca'e in counties, cities and various communities. North Carolina has. held several conferences but Rockingham was the first county in the State in which a county conference was held. There have been three such conferences in the county, the first at Leaksville. Spray, the second at Reidsville and the third has just completed a session in Madison. These were the boys if our own fine and beloved old County. Her future leaders and citizens. Features of the meting were songs and speeches by the boys and their eaders. Athletic contests and games, a banquet and addresses by a number of gifted and well trained speakers, including ministers. Following the last address an oppor tunity was given to every boy to be come a Christian. inese ^uiueicnccs wcic ui with the desire to fill the needs of the boy by developing him physically, mentally and morally. A boy has all top little of help, of encouragement and inspiration. From twelve to eigh teen are the habit forming years for nearly every boy. The object of the Conference, the is .to sow good seed in every soul be fore the world has sowed its tares. Strange as it may seem many of our boys need to learn how to play. It is not infrequent to find a child who has been deprived of his birthright by parents who have exrcised too many don’ts. There are boys who are too timid- to join in the play of their companions. Boys and girls should learn to play unselfishly and without fear of prohibition of strenuous ex ercise and shouting. Games not only give an outlet t0 our instincts but have a constructive val. ue as well. They afford character, discipline of the highest value. From 'them are developed loyalty, obedience, self-control and good sportsmanship ■ They form the cooperative, the com petitor, the leader, the follower and the comrade. Boys need to learn where to play. It is commonly thought that the boys of the small towns and country dis tricts have the wide country to roam over; but most of the wide country is owned by others, and is thickly dotted with the signs, “No tresspassing al lowed” known to many boys as the commonest labels of civilization. In the citjes there are municipal recrea tion, grounds, parks, beaches and Y. M. C. A.’s where boys may gather! Such places are lacking in the smaller towns so that the boy must usually play in the be.flivered streets, on tht decaying refuse back of the stores and in the dusty warehouse. Boys need more tennis courts, base ba l diamonds, basket 1 ball courts, gridirons and varioug other athletic equipment, with slides and swings for the younger1 boys. At every Confer ence there are athletic contests and leaders to direct the boys along this line. One of the great needs of the boy is t0 know and to make use of his full mental ability. In the last con ference the addresses hard had the power to intpire in the boys a desire for greater mental training and growth. One speaker, whose subject was “Neck uppers and neck downers" dec'ared that few people use all the brains with which they are endowed but do with their muscle much” that Jthey should do with their heads. Many of these hoys have had no literary societies and have had few opportunities to learn public speaking. In the conference they are encouraged to think, to stand upon their feet and speak in order to pUt their ideas across* to offer suggestions, to make •nominations, give' toasts and read resolutions which .they have written. But the primary object «f the Con ference is to lead every boy to- make a decision, affecting hig religious life. Dr. Figert, United States Commis the boys declared that though educa the boys' declared that through educa tion is of vital importance to every youth, he doubted its value without re'igious and moral teachings. The boy, who without education, would be a thief, robbing a person 01 a store, with an education, would like, ly be an embezzler or the president of a big Corporation, robbing thousands of their hard earned pittance. Edu cation is important but a religious education is essential. It is the rightful part of every boy’s spiritual heritage, without it our whole social structu’-u would be as a house built upon the sands. It has been found from careful in vestigation: Jst. That no religious instruction is given in most of our public schools. 2nd. That the children who go to Sunday School receive about 12 hours a year of religious instruction. 3rd. Some receive additional in struction in the way they should go at their Mothr’s knee. 4th. That the vast majority receive n0 religious training whatever. Recently, certain groups of boys have been given character sifting tests. Strength of character and abi i ty to resist temptation were express ed in percentages. The highest score was made by a group of Boy Scouts. These high.idealed little fellows scored 82 percent. The old-timers in the troop scored 100 percent. The second highest score was St percent. It was made by a troup nl Scouts which had been organized si* months. The third highest was made by a High Class private school oy boys from high class homes. , F&r down the list came the group which interests us most deply, a group from the typical' American public schoo'. This group’s score was only SC per cent. These tests were made to dis cover whether goodness, honesty, trust worthiness, a decent outlook on life and a love for God and man can be tamght like other subjects. It was proved that they can. Spir. itual inspiration can be put into th minds of b0ys so that it will remain. uni become the motive power of their lives. OuJ: desperate criminals today range under the age of 22 years. Over 80 percent of them are ess than 25 years of age. The vast majority ol all youthful offenders become so because they had bad associates and were not under th? proper influence in the years when boyhood was turn ing into manhood, between the ages of twelve and eighteen. That is the most important period in a boy’s life; then his ideal ' »r t,acquired, his char, acter formed. P ys arc or. our streets nightly, looting for amusement, secu ing for adventure, yearning for companionship. Can we longer remain blind to tbo perils that beset them” Should we hot provide p'aces where boys may meet and play and be an- j tertained and instructed and nlQ the time be under the influence of men of the right kind ? It is to meet this need that the Boy’s Conference exists. The ideal? The fu'nro welfare or our democracy and of the church is hound up in the matter of savin,* tm boyr. The sculptor works upon marbte and knows that ultimately it will perish; the foundry, man mods in brass and knows that time will efface the delicate shadings and effects; the architect conceives.(great temples and knows that they will crumble into dust; hut it is the privilege of the common man and woman to work with the developing souls of hoys and girls that will in turn brighten the grat future. How far reaching the resu'ts ol these Conferences may be, no man can say. Among the direct results may hi mentioned the followin ': 1. .Many boys have stopped smoking, h i i!;'.:;' and telling smutty stories, cheating, stealing and gambling. • 2. Clean athletics have taken to. plac(> of dirty athletics. 3. Boys have been given an opportu nity to meet and discuss their own problems, have been given help in o'ving them, and have learned to face th future honestly and bravely. 4. Many boys have become Christ ians.

It is the One Im portant Question Before Buyers Today. / Since fcllosed Car Comforts Cost No More Why Buy An Open Car ? i T^HE issue with motor car buyers this year is closed • car comforts at open car cost. The Coach exclusively provides such advantages without forfeit of chassis quality. It is a Hudson-Essex invention. No other type is like it. More than 140,000 Coaches are in service. Sales exceed 3,000 each week. The Coach is the largest selling 6-cylinder closed car in the world. That proves the success of value. I: is the Closed Car for Everyone Everyone prefers a closed car. The Coach alone is the quality car within reach of all. It changed the trend from open to closed cars. Now all can en joy finest chassis quality with all-year utility, comfort, and closed car distinction. In two and a half years the Coach has proved a staunchness and reliability never before associated with a closed car. In every service it satisfies the pride of ownership.
