' . a mystery One of the unsolved mysteries of life is why people grow old. What causes the tissues of the body to wear out when there is ho specific disease? If science could find the answer to that question, it is possible that a way would then be found to prolong human life, perhaps to an average of a hundred years or more. Dr. Alexis Carrel, one of the most famous men engaged in medical rennnA1 x * " * o?*uvu,. i?u|JU5es uie esiaonsnment of an institute for the sole purpose of studying the process of .aging. This is, as he points out, an uncharted field for research. But he warns that even if it were possible suddenly to lengthen everybody's life by ten years, that would be of no value unless the quality of life, as well as its duration. wt?r#? imnmvwi Mere physical existence means ] nothing. It is- what a man does with his lengthened years that counts. 1? " * * WIBOOM . and years By the time a man has learned the difference between truth and fan* tasy he is usually too old to be listened to. Youth is always demanding the floor with its "new" ideas, which Age recognizes as the same old ideas which were tried and found wanting when those now old were themselves young. Old age is not in itself a gurantee of wisdom. Imbeciles often live to be a hundred, and many of the world's wisest men died young. But a first-, rate mind acquires increased wisdom with the years, and if the physical Oody in which it is housed is kept alive and active, there is no gain-say* ing the superior wisdom of sound old BUUJttU, um t^vy^r Jia?d the superior wisdom ol thf old. _ "Old men for counsel, youhg men for war," is one ortfra?1fi?&t proverbs common to all languages* fh the church in which I was reared the control i6 vested in the Elders or "Presbytrs." And in everyday j affairs, it is the counsel of the older I men of active minds which is most eagerly sought. * GENETICS . . . 4 . . limited ! The science of genetics, which is the study of heredity, has made great! strides, but nobody has yet discover- j ed how to tell whether any particular child is going to grow up to be a valuable citizen pr a menace to society, It is easy enough to All a bright child's mind with knowledge, but impossible to predict what use he will make of that knowledge. Mere knowledge is not wisdom. I have known men who were veritable walk^ ing encyclopedias, whose judgment & understanding of human relations and conduct were nearly always wrong. The idea has been often advanced * * 1 ? ?"f chmiifi he bred rnai nuiiidu Ut.iilQj by scientific selection of their parents, to conform to better physical and mental standards. But such a j system would not have produced Shakespeare, perhaps the greatest mind that ever lived. No one could have predicted his genius by any qualities which his parents showed.' I doubt if the world would be happier if we attempted to regulate everybody's lives. . * * HEALTH .... and mind The idea that many diseases have cheir origin in the mental attitude of .he patient is a very old and wicje.pread belief. It forms the bdsisr for numerous "healing" cults, which, far rom being modern, are revivals of practices which have been prevalent almost from the beginners of mankind's social life. The incantations of the "medicine men" of primitive ;ribes have the same basis and are about as efficacious as many of the nro^nt-dav "faith-healing" practices, according to up-ao-date psychologists. It is true, however, emnient psychologists say, that many forms of emotional strain, while not actually causing disease, do set up physiological disturbances, particularly in tbe digestive and circulatory systemsAnd many . physical diseases, in turn, cause' profoundi mental. disturbances. Neither medicine alohe nor ^psychology alone can insure the "sound mlad in a sound body" jpvlify! bo^y.ptju^t-to have.

L. Ariail, its cashier. During the year the bank paid off and retired all of its preferred stock, aggregating $35,475.00, and in addition, the tyoard of directors recently declared a six per cent dividend on its $50,000.00 common stock. Not only was 1937 a good year at the(,bank, but Mr. Ariail expressed his belief that 1938 will show continued good business there and pointed out that for the past four years the bank has enjoyed consistent and substantial growth. Mr. Ariail stated that he was not apprehensive about the present slump in business that in his opinion the shake down in business would work out to the general best interest of all business and especially the banking business. These business slumps are necessary to the end that they bring about spunder business methods. As j soon as adjustments have been cleared out probably during the late spring or early summer of next year, business should move upward on a sound and more satisfactory basis.

Knight) There were several watch-night parties Friday night and the New Year was ushered in with church bells ringing, whistles blowing and the firing of guns. As the midnight signals sounded, the rain begun to fall and continued until some time Saturday night. Sunday was bright and clear. Mr. Edwin Snead and three of his Boy Scout friends of Daytona Beach, Fla., came up last week and are enjoying a vacation in the Snead cottage in Ballough Hills. As none of them had ever sen any snow, they were somewhat disappointed to find bright sunshiny weather here. Howevr, they climbed 6427 feet to the top of Jones' Knob and found several * inches ofisnow on the ground and also saw the flakes falling for about an lour. They returned to the settleacnt about dark, tired, but delighted^ .hat they had seen the snow it fell all over them, they snow-balled with .1 and ate some of it. They will return ?o Daytona Beach Tuesday. School reopened Monday morning vvith good attendance. Young and Youngblood's lumber ousiness started up again Monday morning. Also mining at Hyatt's oiivene mine, having received orders for quite a large number of carloads of the rock. Several carloads were shipped last week. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Dryson left Monday for their home in Detroit. They were called to Marion on account of the illness of Mrs. Bryson's .ather, Mr. Ed Turner. They spent several days here with Mr. Bryson's parents, He v. and Mrs. A. C. Bryson. Says Credit System Is Valuable Asset By Henry A. Schleicher, Representative of Merchant's Mercantile Agency, Washington, D. C. "No man is poorer today than he without credit.": Man may have manvirtues, but if he cannot be trustc .1 in money matters he-is.in universal dishonor, and dis/epute. Thieves, murders and ha^ldts look down upon . those who ^kTnot pay their debts. Elbert Hubbard said: "If there is an unpardonable sin, it is the habit of not paying ones debts." That the dishonest debtor is lookad down upon with so much scorn and derision today needs no explaining, if it is net forgotten that credit is the basis o" modern business, that the world today is actually living or. ncney to be earned 30 days hence. .. . , u.%. buying on Z ) clays' time, or cn tiie deferred payment plan the more costly essentials of iife.
