C. As Second ciasu Matter THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1946 • MORE SPIRITUALLY MINDED Not withstanding we are told every day how wicked the teen-age boys and girls are —and if you believed everything you read you would think they were headed straight for the devil, still if you will visit any of the Sunday Schools and the various organ izations for the young people you would be surprised at the interest these young folks are taking in religious matters. Only a few short years back it was rare that you heard one of their age pray in public, or take charge of the prayer meeting. Os course, there are black sheep in every flock, but as a whole we believe the young people are more spiritually minded than we have ever known to be the case. And certainly the grown-ups are think ing more about that future life. It has come to pass that it is actually considered a disgrace for a wealthy man to die and not leave a large portion of his wealth to some church, college or charitable organization. Certainly they are becoming more spiritu ally minded. We are told every day over the radio, all strongly endorsed by the Presi dent of these United States, of the horrible condition of the people of the Eastern world, and owing to the fact stated above, that our people are interested in humanity as taught by the meek and lowly Jesus, we are convinced that to a large degree these people will be clothed and fed, and while many will die of starvation the vast majori ty will be cared for. Take it right here at home, in Roxboro and Person county. Never have we seen such crowds as turned out on Easter morn to the various services. Church houses were filled to capacity, hour after hour had- been spent in making preparations for the occa sions, by choirs, and others preparing for the various pageants. Oh, you may say, the ladies all wanted to show off their Easter hats and their beautiful corsages. Well, perhaps some did, but the majority were there because they knew the pastor was going to tell them about the risen Christ, and they were anxious to hear. Yes, as a while our people are more spiritually mind ed, and this old world is a long way from eternal damnation. 0 • WHERE’S THE FIRE? At this date your auto is one year older, that is unless you have been one of the few to get a new car, than it w r as at this time last year. That can mean a number of things but mainly that your car is weaker and more dangerous than it was at this time last year and that you should drive it slower than before and with more care than ever. Every day when you pick up the paper you can see where some person was either killed by a car or in a car. The war is over but people are still being killed on the high ways by a “weapon” that is the most dang erous that has ever been known. All of this adds up to but one thing— drive with more care than ever before, have your car looked after to see if anything is about to give way, play the the game as safely as you can under the circumstances. An old car needs to be taken care of ay much so as a person with some age on h.ia or her shoudlers. This editorial is not meant as a boost ‘for the garages of the community, aJtho it might turn out to be that way, but rather as a means of preventing a death or sm ac cident of some kind. It all boils down to this: Drive fit-, a rea sonable speed, have your car’s neerj?, attend ed to and drive with care. There * s no fire, why rush as tho you were goi.r,g to one. • MISS PRATT IS NOMINATED It now looks as if North Ca rolina is going to Jttve its first woman ro ember of Con gress soon- Miss Jane has been nom inated by the Democratize, executive, ccun mittee as the Democratic, candidate for the- position left vacant in the Eight District by the death of Rep. W. O. Burgin. The special election may be held on May 25, and if she is elected then, she will be sworn in as a member of Congress immediately thereafter. Miss Pratt has been secretary to four Congressmen over a period of 22 years. She is thoroughly familiar with the work and is also acquainted with pending legislation in Congress. Such a background gives her good qualifications for the office, and the general opinion is that she will make a good Representative. o DNiAVS anv sramo xvhm • “THE LEAST OF THESE” Greensboro Daily News We cannot say that we do not know about it. We know from the investigation of for mer President Herbert Hoover, who is not given to exageration or wild flights of the imagination, that there are at least 100,- 000,000 human being 17 European countries who must have vastly increased suplies of food this spring and summer to fight off famine. We also know that there are millions in Asia, too, although their numbers have not been counted. A hundred million people, w'nat does that mean ? It is a statistic, without reality, like a billion dollars. And so it eludes our appre hension. But a human being ißnot a statistic, no matter how many times he is multiplied in the headlines. Cut him and he will bleed, try to take from him his rights or his prop erty and he will fight you, praise him and he will smile, starve him and he will die, feed him and he will live. Perhaps he is the Hindu who made up the beds on the train from Bombay to Delhi, perhaps he is the Chinese student who became a ricksha boy in Peiping when his money gave out, perhaps he is the man of Athens who stood up against the axis odds, or perhaps his daughter whose family was proud of her Easter finery in those days when she had a home. Take the human being and multiply him a hundred million tiems —you still have human beings. Nor can we say that we do not know what to do to save them. We do know. Mr. Hoov er, again, has told the world —“the civilized world” as it like to call itself—what it must do. He has stated in definite terms what contributions the United States, Canda, Britain, Latin America, Argentina, Russia and other countries need to make. Under his plan the United States would furnish about 44 per cent of the foodstuffs, Canada,. 20, Britain 10, Agentine plus other Latin American countries about 7 and Russia about 12. Even so, and assuming the effective ad herence to the plan by all the nations men tioned, the world famine which is an after math of the war would be merely abated for the time being. The United States would not be exceeding its quota; it would be merely coming up to those promises which it has formerly made and which it has of late neglected to perform. It is unthinkable that as a professedly Christian people we shall cavil at welcoming the relatively light sacrifices which the necessity of com mon humanity imposes on us, not only as a duty but even more as an opportunity. o • MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW Hertford County Herald t The present is always something real and solid. Perhaps, for that reason, the present is easier to understand than a tomorrow that has never happened. That may be the reason why so many people live just for today. It might also account for the fact that most people are so busy with today that they forget all about tomorrow. Nevertheless tomorrow’s do come. And history, which is after all just a record of tomorrows that have become yesterdays, is proof of the importance of living for to morrow. In away this difference between people who live just for today and those who plan for the future is the difference between farly and wisdom. It seems that all life is making way for tomorrow. The child grows into manhood to womanhood. The present generation is al ways making way for a new one that inher its the kind of world we leave to them. Wise parents know this. They lay their plans carefully, shaping as best they can the kind of world they want their children to live in after they themselves are gone. The question arises: “What can parents do to create this better world?” They can do much. They can insure edu cation for their children, teach them wisely, guard them against unnecessary security.

She was swollen with stomach gas, which always got worse when she went to bed, and the gas would rise up in her throat after she lay down and would nearly choke her. She couldn’t lie flat. Had to prop herself up on pillows. Recently this lady got INNER-AID and now says gas is gone, stomach feels fine, bowels arc, regular and she can go to bed and i sleep soundly. INNER-AID contains 12 Great! Herbs they cleanse bowels, clear i gas from stomach, act on sluggish liver and kidneys. Miserable people soon feel different all over. So don’t go on suffering! Get INNER-AID. Sold by all drug stores here in Per son County.
