How can people fairly along in
life—say in the fifties or over
—get ready for the years that
come after? What kind of educa
tion should they have?
This is the question Wilma
Donahue and her associates at
tempt to answer in their recent
book, “Education for later Ma
turity" (New York, William Mor
row, 1955. 338 pp., $4.50). The
authors point out that the long
desirid goal of lunger life, with
more and more men and women
living in the seventh and eighth
decade of life, has brought .with
It an ironic tragedy
“Many older persons living to
day are unhappy and bewildered

ning. .
There are 12 counties in
the Occoneechee Council, and
a total of seven Silver Bea
vers were awarded at the
(dinner for the Council area,
so it was considered quite
a compliment to. Chapel Hill
and its Scout leaders that
two of the seven awards
went to village residents.
It was also announced at
the dinner that three Chapel

committee chairmanships
for the Occoneechee Council

ed the Silver Beaver awards
were Brigadier General Pear
son Menoher of Southern
Pines, E. M. Herndon of Dur
ham, Charles S. Pinkston of
Fayetteville, J. Glenn Mor
ris of Siler City, and Carl
A. Harris of Louisburg.

end that the two Chapel
Hillians had received the a
wards, and he said of all
the honors he had received
for various activities during
his life, he considered the

Hill should feel highly hon
ored that two of its resi
dents had received the award

I have a malady that 1
have . named coveritis. It
means covering papers with
other papers. All sorts of
papers: memoranda, clip
pings, letters, manuscripts,
solicitations, bills, circulars,
everything. They accumu
late in piles on the desk and
the table in my workroom;
(Which you can call a study;
if you like a more elegant
name), and they overflow
upon chairs, and then they
overflow into rooms where
they've got no business to
be. What luck that the con
sort is indulgent about that!
Every now and then ,1
have a cleaning-up spasm.
When this happens I clean
up backwards; that is, I
start at the farthest point
in the house where 1 have
piled up my stuff and pro-*,
ceed toward my room. To
ward. not always to, be
cause sometimes I get so tir-
V>d of cleaning-up that I just
say to-hell-with-It-Fll-put-it
off-till-some-other-time.
If you think that the habit
of keeping papers in order
reflects prissiness and is apt
jto * be accompanied by a
prosy, pedestrian kind of
writing, you are badly mis
taken. Many a writer known
for his imagination and hu
mor and lively style works
in a neat,orderly roomwhere
he can lay his hands instant
ly on anything he wants.!
And the man who does
his writing in a room
whose disorderly "atmos
phere" suggests hohemian
ism and a gay abandon is
as apt as not to turn out
a commonplace, run-of-the- 1
mine product.
I envy persons who have
the sense and decency to
keep their papers in good
order. But nothing comes
of the resolutions I am al
ways making to keep mine
that way. Evidently all that
will help me is some kind of
a miracle. I wish tin* next

sum of $9,000,000 and make
long term loans to business
men who might not other
wise be able to borrow mon
ley to start a new industry.
In this way more industries
and more payrolls benefit
us all.
“Over SBOO,OOO of the
stock has been subscribed.
Governor Hodges has ask

tempt to sell the balance of
the stock. It is the Gover
