The structure, a sensible adaptation of the Geor gian st\ le of architecture, would be a credit to a town nuich larger than Franklin. Fact is, we have never seen so fine or quite so large a Federal Build ing m a town of less than 5,000 population. Of course, our good fortune in this respect is due not only to the need of new quarters for the postoffice, but also to the fact that hranklin was headquarters ot the Xantahala National Poorest, and permanent ottices lor the forest personnel in the government’s own building were desirable. In times past several connnunities in the vicinity of the forest have endeavored to have the head- quarters olfices of the forest removed, although branklm, occupying as it does a central position in he forest area, is the logical location for the lorest s adnnmstrative forces. Now, with permanent oiiices avadable m the new Federal Buildin- Frank- m can rest more assured that it will continue to be Uie headquarters tor this great national forest I hat, indeed, is something for which to be thankful Occupying a site just on the brow of the town hill, the Federal Building is sure to attract the at tention of visitors and tourists and to enhance thdr U 1th a httlt tKlyniR- up of commercial buildings and l-ia.ikhn «,ll be able to Iwast of a Main Street ;^fed ccnain 't'hef‘‘“;h To pass ’ ° '"'Krovements will come NO JOBS GOOD BY THEMSELVES We had a couple of oo'llege girls to dinner the other night, .and o.ne of them said: “The college offers a vocational course to us seniors, * consisting of lectures from prominent ■alumnae. I started to attend but '"Stopped because it was too disocmr- l^aging. Each speaker spent her time ['..idvising us by all means to try ’something else.” ^ Your heart probably will warm ®'to this young lady because you can recall how the family doctor said; “For heavens’ sake don’t try medi cine” ; the family lawyer oounselled: “Only one lawyer in a thousand makes a decent living”; newspaper men pleaded: “Stay away. It means living a dog s life, working at night and always broke.” We were all ad vised that all the jobs are bad jobs, and all over-crowled. Yet some how we managed to get a tae-hold and push our way up a little, and are still alive and eating. tor myself, I never discourage young people about my business, which is advertising. I tell them it is a very interesting business and that I feel lucky to be in it. 1 can’t tell them how to get in be cause almost every man and woman I know seems to have got in a dif ferent way. Few grow rich in it but hardly any o,ne wants to leave. An other business which I almo'st en tered still has its appeal, and that is college teaching. I have also a Imgering love for the life of a loco motive engineer. I sometimes suspect that the im- f^rtance of the fateful “choice of a probably over-rated. All jobs are exciting, and all are dull: all consist pretty much in omg the same thing over and over, but all have their high points^ to.o'. With a httle imagination and good health, it seems to me one could be reasonably amused in the foundry business, or hides and leather, or “3-yi grain and cement. SHOE PINCHES ONLY WEARER Two women were applying the verbal ksh to one of their sisters w^o had obtained a divorce and was about to become a bride again. hey had nothing but praise for the cast-off husband and nothing but condemn,ation for the wife, He was successful in business, handsome, and,, if the women who were con cerning themselves in the collapse of his matrimonial venture were right, a noble character in all re peats. Any woman must have been crazy to discard such a man. Plutarch, whose writings seem to cover the whole range of human experience, says in one of his mor al essays: “The Roman who was taken to task by his friends for repudiating his chaste, wealthy and handsome wife, showed them his shoe, and said: “Although this is new and handsome ,none of you know where it pinches me.” People waste more words and do more profitless guessing in con nection with the marital misadven tures of their fellow human beings than on any other subject. For starting the tongues to wagging nothing equals a divorce. Wives are despised for leaving men who seem to be blameless, and husbands de nounced for turning from wives who are presumed to possess all the virtues. But what can the critics really know? The same sort of meddlesome of ficiousness goes on in the lesser affairs of life. If Brown’s wife de cides to go to Europe, her friends wonder how she can afford it, and pity Brown who is a hardworking man and looks as if he., instead of his wife., should be having a vaca tion. Let Williamson make changes m his office force, and plenty of people discover motives that prob ably are miles away from the facts. In one sense there is no un employment in this country You and I and a few more are busy tending to our own affairs, while tens of mil ions are equally busy tending to each other’s affairs. Just a grand ot of volunteer shoe-surveyors knowing all about every sho.e ex cept where it pinches, where it pinches. (Copyright. 193S. K. F. S.)' CHURal Announcements . PRESBYTERIAN Rev. J. A.
