BIBLE THOUGHT
Praise the Lord, O my soul: while I live, will I prai,se the Lord; yea,
as long as I have any being, I will sing praises unto my God.
O put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of man; for there
is no help in them. l'salm 146: 1-3.
One of the reasons that the Psalms are so precious in Christian, as
well as in Jewish, history is that so many of them insist that religion
begins, not by telling us what splendid and capable people we are, but
by reminding us that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves,
and that it is God's grace which goes before and sustains us in all good
things. Selected. ' ' '
Baby Derby Finals
A HAPPY ending to the Baby Derby on Monday
evening brought a large group of parents and
friends to witness the awards amounting to a total
of five hundred dollars. .
Hard work and persistent, continued effort re
warded those who took the first prizes. No element
of chance entered into the friendly contest,' other
than the comparative strength and time mothers
were able to give, and the number of friends they
lined up to assist them.
The Franklin Press wishes to congratulate the
winners and express appreciation to all who par
ticipated, in whatever way the parents, their fam
ilies, friends and the merchants. Also the babies,
whose bright faces displayed in the Baby Derby
window and on the pages of the newspaper have
entertained hundreds as only little children can.
Especially we wish to extend our thanks to Mr.
and Mrs. Harvey, the genial and untiring directors
of the Derby, whose leadership achieved its pur
posesthat of stimulating trade for Macon Coun
ty merchants and increasing the circulation of The
Franklin Press and The Highlands Maconian. These
results will bring to all a lasting benefit.

Boys, Birds; and Slingshots
THERE was a time when every , boy in good
standing collected bird eggs, displaying his
collection in a beautiful array of dainty color and
with an admirable knowledge of birds and their
variegated eggs. Then the Audobun societies and
the Boy Scouts came into being. Through educa
tion in nature study, directing energies of the boys
into constructive activities, and teaching love of
living things-, the destructive pastime of robbing
birds' nests ceased some years ago.
But the slingshot is still with us. Every small
boy passes through the stage, and birds on the wing
are an irresistible target. The Atlanta Journal
brings us a story from Oklahoma about the effort
of a Boy Scout troup to cure the slingshot habit
in a group of boys who were destroying the birds
in their little town. The Scouts staged target prac
tise and slingshot contests until the boys became
experts. But these Scouts overlooked an important
principle. They did not educate the shooters. An
outraged citizenry shortly awakened to the fact
that their song birds had been exterminated. The
trained marksmen had gone out and slaughtered
them. .
This story has both a moral and a warning. Boy
lovers understand the fascination of slingshot
marksmanship. The way to divert the straight aim
of the shooters from birds as targets is to guide the
boys to fascinating study of nature and bird life,
boys to the more fascinating study of nature, and
bird life. Here is a project for our local Boy Scouts,
because there are still some slingshots aimed at
birds in our midst.
Praise for American Press
rR. EDUARP BENES, very-much-alive former
; president of the dead democracy of Czecho
slovakia, -sailed Wednesday to return to Europe's
"dark, troubled skies" certain that democracy was
secure in one country- the United States;
After a five-month stay in this country lecturing
at the University of Chicago and filling speaking
engagements throughout the nation, Dr. Benes
made the following statement in a farewell inter
view: "I am tremendously impressed with this coun-
try's interest in democracy and in the widespread
knowledge, alertness and understanding of the
, American people on world affairs.
"This I attribute largely to the American press.
The American foreign correspondents are doing an
excellent job in objective, accurate reporting, and
especially is this true of those correspondents with
the major news services." f .
In contrast Dr. Benes called attention to the cen
sored European press, saying that American people
not only were well informed, but also get a per
spective on world affairs not possible for citizens
of countries overseas, adding his conviction that
"America is the bulwark of democracy in the world
today."
Leslie Hore-Belisha, British minister of war, is shown during his inspection of a South London anti
aircraft station recently as he made the rounds of several of the "war stations" and anti-aircraft units in and
around the city, The stations are manned by members of Britain's territorial army who are undergoing their
annual training.

eating places who fail to cooper
ate with the public, as required by

1921, at amended, and refuse to
prominently display their eating
cards will be prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law, it was
announced by Dr. Carl V. Rey
nolds, state health officer.
"Of course, we had rather not
resort to the more drastic pro
cedure of having . offenders arrest
ed and brought into court," Dr.
Reynolds went on, "but if it takes
that we'!, t will have to be that
way. Those who re called upon to
uffer the consequences will have
only themselves to blame,
"Entering any. public eating
place. Dr. Reynold pointed out, "a
patron has the right to a full view
of the rating card of that place.
If it is not in sight, he should
demand to see it, and if the pn
prietor or manager cannot or will
not produce it, then the patron,
who is entieled to the protection
of the law, should feel obligated
to report the incident.
"The law plainly says that the
proprietor or manager of any ho
tel or restaurant, immediately up
on receipt of his certificate, or rat
ing, shall post it where it may be
easily observed by guests, that is,
it) a conspicuous place." .

Several people said they deserve
the blue ribbon, but as far as the

May the kingdom of God find
glory in a day like this.
