SCOTT kaapo PA.Vma INVEMTk-DA MODERN WAA AMK 45 "flA ICS Green Light AUT pf a discouraging prospect of fulfillment the "go" signal has been flashed for one of the most significant projects that has yet been offered the county. A sewing and cooking center offered to the county by the National Youth Administration was about to be turned down because the county did not have available funds to meet requirements. This failure of county authorities to take ad vantage of an opportunity to benefit a large num ber of needy young people has been making Chair man Gus Leach lose sleep of late. The fact that the people themselves knew nothing about the. pro jector the loss of it, has prompted the canvassing of interested citizens in an effort to raise the funds necessary to insure the project. With promise of support from many and con fidence in the interest of others, the stop light has turned and the green light is on. Congratulations, Mr. Leach. Your friends are behind you in this venture of faith. The many who will receive training that will lift their lives to better things will thank those who are going to jnake this school possible. Golden Wedding TEW are privileged to enjoy fulfillment of long , and well spent lives as is accorded to Mr. and .Mrs. Charles A. Cabe who celebrated their golden wedding anniversary yesterday. . Life long residents of Macon county, and still enjoying active, vigorous life, they represent a high type of parenthood which has achieved a noble aim. The fruits of their labors together for half a century are present with them to bless their later yearstwelve sons and daughters who are follow ing in the footsteps of their parents in leading use ful lives. A wide circle of relatives and friends wish for Mr. and Mrs. Cabe many more happy years. Fred Montony TEEN sorrow canpot be suppressed for the cut ing down of a youthful life of promise and achievement. Fred Montony was loved and ad mired by his associates for. his warm hearted, self forgetful interest in his friends, his community and his work. Holding a position of responsibility which required energy, skill and constant vigilance, he was found "on the job" during hours and after hours, with a driving will to do every detail well and , thoroughly. Without sparing himself, he had time to give leadership to matters pertaining to the welfare and progress of his community, and an engineer's urge to get things done. This was demon strated last spring when he helped build and fi nance the chamber of commerce headquarters on Main street. His leadership helped make the Lions Club a forceful civic group. Franklin can ill afford to lose So helpful a citizen. Those who take up the varied duties he laid down will be inspired to spend themselves more earnestly because of his example. The Expected Blow TTHE world waits with horror Hitler's ex pected attack on the British Isles. The supreme courage of that little isle of free souls may not be sufficient to stem the tide of de struction of the diabolical might of Hitler's war machines. The debacle of Italy in the Mediterranean only whets his hate and hastens the death blow he in tends to strike at the enemy whose spirit he can not break. He must strike soon, before it is too late. The people of Eire have been warned that Ger many may first strike down their little land, clos est to Britain's shores. The tramp of Nazi troops echo omniously in the Balkans. Franco of Spain is called on the carpet to pay his debt to the axis. While this awesome tragedy moves to a climax, the Congress of the United States makes exhibi tion of petty fear lest our security may, perchance, be threatened. -r urmxsA w. lpip2 r HAVl BUN PlCKEO-; Kftftitt PkOKf-iKlfoP o'lVl WATER HO Ml OOMM AMOtUt 1 11 WIND, WKEKf. tftgy ARI KCCLAIMt IN 6 IK VI -S3 nw a ah A.

There is no need for prayers with out repentance, so as this 'is Lin coln's birth month it is well to think in his way when the nation was in trouble. ., Yours truly, Mrs. E.N P. Picktesimer Clipping , Abraham Lincoln was the great est President we ever had or could hope to havein time of dire trouble. Significantly, Lincoln ask ed for the prayers of the people more frequently than has any other chief executive ; and he ask ed for them in words which re vealed his deep belief that the Bible is the Word of God. "It is the duty of nations aa well as of men to own their de pendence upon the overruling pow er of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sor row, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations onlv are blessed whose God is the Lord. . . Midway News The folks in Midway are fast improving from flu and colds. Marion Sanders who has been employed at Fort Bragg spent the week-end with home folks. Mrs. A. L.

Brownlow Shope and John Shope who are employed at Fayetteville were visiting their parents this week-end, We are glad to report uncle Bill Ledt'ord who has been quite ill to be fast improving. Mack Dills who is employed at Dallas, Gi., was recently called home on account of sickness. Howard Ledford atid Zeb Mc Clurc who are' contracting timers at the Nantahala Dam are quite busy at present. -William Howard McGure spent the week-end with his cousin, Elias Hodgin. Press Comment FOR THE GREATEST NUMBER (Raleigh News and Observer) , These are the facts--the inescap able facts of the argument: The addition of a nine months term would immediately give in creased educational opportunity to all the school children of North Carolina, nearly a million of them. Adding a twelfth grade would benefit only 30,000 children, who are at the top of all the rest. If the greatest good for the greatest number is the rule, the Legislature will add the ninth month to the school term. To -add a twelfth grade while the nine months term is lacking is to deny all at the bottom and add a false pretentiousness at the top. NICE KITTY! (Christian Science Monitor) The isolationists who talk about a "negotiated peace" with Nazi dom are at least refreshing. They help one recall the days when, as a child, he used to go to the menagerie and ask to be allowed to pet the big yellow cat with the nice black stripes. Or when he en toyed the limerick: There was a young lady of Niger Who went for a ride on a tiner. They returned from th ride With the lady inside, And a smile on the face of the tiger. Viewing the sour countenances of some of the Nazi commanders in current news photographs, one wonders, however, if American self-effacement would gain even the recognition of a smile Or would jt. be just a sardonic grin New Books For High School From Mrs. Cox Twenty-seven new books have been received by the Franklin j high school library from Mrs. Angie W.

Overland Trail. Sabin. Muse's Corner THE MOUNTAINS The mountains mean the world to me, They are the things I usually see. I like to climb the mountain tops. To hear the water trickling over the the rocks: And hear the birds sweetly sing In :he mountain trees (luring time of spring. I've been to the north, east, and the west, I came back to the. mountaias I love the best To see my sweet old mountain home. Especially the mountains I used , to roam. If you live in the city, that's not quite fair: You're missing something, that's mountain air. ' So I guess you will gladly agree. The mountains mean the world to me.
