The Postmasters' Meeting jpRANKLIN is looking forward to welcoming a 1 large number of postmasters and their wives next Saturday, when the district chapter of the National Assocation of Postmasters will assemble '..here.' : .. . .'' ".; , v..' ' .' : In "reply o an invitation by T.'W. Porter, Frank lin postmaster and host on this occasion, E. W. "Eubank,' Hendersonville postmaster, has written an acceptance that is dependent upon his health at that time. From the vigorous tone of his reply, there will be eager, anticipation on the part of his pros pective hearers that Mr. Eubank's health will be equal to his promised message. Air. Porter has allowed us the privilege of quotr ing parts of Mr. Eubank's letter. " . . . I wish to tell you that I have never wanted to .make a speech in my whole life as much as J want to make not one,, but many now." "1 am so appalled at the ignorance exhibited by men in high station in this country today and under such perilous conditions, that I would like to 'spend myself" in doing all possible to bean enlightening unit within the scope of my influence: Unfortunately there has been so much of half-truths woven into our national history, especially in regard to our re lation to Great Britain, both before and since the Revolution, that we have built up in many of our people a psychosis inimical to Great Britain and destructive to our own wellbeing that is not justi fied by the facts of history. . " 'Falsehood is often rocked by truth, but she soon soon outgrows her cradle and discards her nurse.' We have rocked too much truth in the cradle of falsehood and we are too slow in discarding the nurse ! 'Where there are many m6n, there are many minds,' runs an old Roman adage ; and, 'He who has no knowledge of the past can have no understand ing of the present and no conception of the future,' observed the greatest Chinaman that ever lived Confucius. Both aphorisms are; as true as the syn optical gospels. So, we have 'many men' in our legis lative halls and too few of them have any knowl edge of the past either ancient, medieval or mod ern. . . . What they are doing for us today, in the most dire peril of our national existence, is enough to ntake pot-metal '.busts' of Tecumseh, Oceola and Sitting Bull explode with exuberant glee and ribald laughter!" From this sample, those fortunate enough to at tend the meeting of the postmasters next Saturday night will hope that nothing prevents the attendance of-the principal speaker. The NYA At Work '"THROUGHOUT North Carolina there is a grow ing appreciation of what the National Youth Administration is doing to prepare young men and women between the ages of 16 and 25 years to be skilled workers in the many fields opening up at this time. The call for workers on huge National Defense projects throws new attention on the NYA as a useful agency already set up to meet this press ing need. Every indication points to the prospect that this demand will increase rather than diminish. No doubt there are other counties like our own that have been shortsighted in the past in supply ing sponsorship of projects which would have train ed many young men to fill jobs now. open. The county commissioners are now sponsoring . the work center for 40 young girls, teaching sew ing and cooking, and a like number of boys are working on the Iotla community center, Sponsored by the citizens of Iotla. All of these young people are learning by doing, and, at the same time, are provided with much needed employment. The Elizabeth City Daily Advance has this to say concerning the regional NYA work center recently opened there one of three in the state: "The work center will not only fit these boys and young men for good and gainful employment, it will build character and confidence at a time in life when these are so essential to the young man just starting out to earn his own living. Its ultimate work cannot be measured merely in dollars and cents. A recent editorial in the Kinston Free Press says . in part : "The National Youth Administration is getting more attention from the public. For a time it re ceived less attention than most of the New Deal agencies. It deserves the , public's interest. It has settled down to a definite program, and a broad program. i ' . .. .
