The Farmer of Tomorrow DRESENT-day farm youth has opportunities that were unknown to the forefathers who settled the country. ' , The remarkable development of the 4-H club has made it possible for tens of thousands of young men and women to learn scientific agriculture, arid to earn generous rewards for work well done. In addition, the leading cooperative marketing groups take an unremitting interest in the affairs of tomorrow's farmers. From these groups farm youth learns not only the great advantages of loyal cooperation between producers, but is instructed in a wide range of topics that are of direct and indirect importance to successful farming. The full "crop" sown by this fine work will be harvested in the years tt come. The British lion seems to have reached the point where he really enjoys having his tail: twisted. A navy and air force strong enough to protect both oceans may mean a lot less fighting for the boys on land. President Roosevelt's naval expansion program is carrying out the policy of the great Theodore, who said, "Speak softly, but carry a big stick." Almost time to pour the red ham gravy over the tender young onions, the luscious young mustard and the delicious young lettuce. Why worry about wars? The Johnson act, which prevents loans to nations defaulting on debt payments, is showing its worth at the present time. Senator Hi Johnson doesn't sponsor any foolish legislation. An Austrian paper hanger and an Italian black smith have' given Great Britain and Europe a bad case of jitters, and Dr. Sam will probably be called upon to prescribe for the ailment. But, as most of them owe him money which they never intend to pay; Doctor Sam will probably let them depend upon their own physicians. There is deep regret among newspaper men throughout the Union over the passing of Francis W. Clark, executive editor of The Atlanta Consti tution. Mr. Clark had held every editorial position on his paper and had few equals as a judge of news and feature values. Honest, upright and absolutely' fearless, his work was always constructive. The editor of The Press mourns not only a great news paper man, but. a personal friend 1 whose counsel was always wise. LETTER-PRESS WHAT PART OF N. C. DID THIS FELLOW SEE? The Press ras received from Muriel B. Beck, of Olympia, Wash., the following letter and a clipping from the Daily Olympian of that city. The clipping describes condi tions which; a Washingtonian is supposed to have 'found in North Carolina: Franklin Press, Franklin, N. C. Dcar: Sir: 1 am sending a clipping you might like to print in your paper. I have heard lots like this over the radio. I don't know where they get such ideas, as I found North Car olina's highways better than Wash ington's and the education of the people just as high. If ttyere is a place like Mr. Tork elson describes, I would like to know where. . Very truly, Muriel B. Beck. 1523 West Bay Drive, Olympia, Wash. Following is the clipping: . "Just received a letter from Charley (C. E.) Torkelson from Hopkinsville, Ky. He enclosed his dues for the year of 1938 in the Poggie Chib, which, as far as we can ascertain, makes him the "most distant" member of the local sport organization. Mr. and Mrs. Torkel son expect to spend a week in Florida waters soon fishing for bass and sail fish He is construction engineer for Rural Resettlement projects in Kentucky, the Carolinas ans the Virginias. He writes . . . ' "in this country they are still fight ing the . Civil War and make, shrines of the homes, birth places, etc., Oi all the generals, captains, and most of the privates ... "We were going to a project in the hills of North Carolina which was- supposedto be on a main high way. After wandering on a narrow, crooked road darkness overtook us and finally we came to a row of red lanterns. These marked 'a river crossed by an old current-operated ferry. As it was only a small stream, I asked the old man who ran the ferry why they didn't have a bridge. He replied that there used to be a bridge at that spot but that the damn Yankees had burned it down and that they would be doubly-damned if they'd rebuild it!' Torkelson may have found sucl a place in North Carolina, but it would be interesting to know just where it is located. , . ADDITIONAL FRANKLIN SOCIAL ITEMS ZONE MEETING HELD AT ME.
