BIBLE THOUGHT But I say unto you, Love your enemies. . That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he fnaketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.-nSt. Matthew: 5:44,45. The most perfect order in the world will be obtained whenever citizens in a democracy recognize . . . in all its implications the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man. ... Individuals who have meditated on the full meaning of these fundamental principles which characterize both religion and democracy will treat their fel low beings in such a way that the entire State can serve as a;unit on behalf of the general welfare. Vice-President Henry A. Wallace. Youth And Congress THE value of 4-H Clubs does not have to be . "sold" to the readers of this paper. Older people watch with admiration and often wonder the accomplishments of their boys and girls. Some of these were reported on the program of Achieve .nicnt Day last Saturday. - But it seems that Congress has yet to be con vinced. There is at this time a bill (H. R. 4530) before Congress which provides for a modest ap propriation to support extension agents in. each county to devote full time to youth which should should triple and quadruple 4-H Club enrollment. Many national farm organizations and other groups have endorsed it. Some of the "Reasons Why" this bill should be passed are listed in the following memoranda : Our Youth what do they mean to us? Right now, our means of defense. They must fight our battles, produce machines and food, and carry the torch for Democracy. On them we depend to pre serve America. Totalitarian have built their ghastly machines by a thorough youth-training program. We must preserve Democracy by training our youth in demo cratic ideals and procedure. ...'.' Science-has proved that work-experience in real me situations is me must ciicguvc k.uiu ui uduiing for most people. Secretary Wickard says "Food will win the war and write the Peace." 4-H is pro ducing more food than all other youth organiza tions combined. In the present emergency and dur irig the critical years ahead youth needs permanent trained leaders who seek to make a career of youth development. 4-H is the most economical system of informal education in existence, due to the cooperation of 150,000 volunteer leaders, What is being done for Older Rural Youth this in-between group of young folks who feel they are too old for the 4-H program and not old enough for adult farm programs? The Extension Service now reaches only a very small part of the 10,000,000 young people, 16-24, living in rural areas, approxi mately 6,000,000 of whom live on farms. .'.'..'. Will we stand by unconcernedly and witness the future disintegration of our Democracy because of lack of proper training for youth? Will it again be the old story of "too little and too late"?. Of will we beat the totalitarian at this game of youth training? We must be alert. We must prepare. We must be strong in every sector including our Youth-Training Sector. Proponents of this bill are urging citizens to write their representatives in Congress in favor of lis pciascigc. 111 iiu U11CV.11U11 uu i ap;toi uiai little can do so much for so many. The voice of Home Demonstration Clubs and farmers who are receiving federal aid may well be raised in behalf of their children's training. v A Good Idea TPHE Department of Agriculture has asked farm- 'ers throughout the country to collect and sell their scrap iron for use in defense production. More and more is modern farming demanding im proved machinery. A scarcity of iron and steel may curtail production of farm implements. It appears to be a timely suggestion that farmers get some ready money from the old and discarded imple ments, and, at the same time, serve the double purpose of salvaging metal for defense and clean ing up useless junk around the place. It sounds like a good idea ! Press Comment AND STILL THEY COME (Waynesville Mountaineer) October broke another record in travel into the Great Smoky Moun tains national park, -according to official records issued by the park service. Travel for October of this year amounted to 43 per cent increase over October of 1940, with a total of 120,911 persons in 3r,315 vehicles. Of this number, 54 per cent more from other, than the local states of Tennessee and North Carolina, was recorded. '. , The visitors were from all 48 states, District of Columbia, Alaska, the Canal . Zone, South America, Cuba, Panama, England, Mexico, Alberta and Japan. Tennessee led with 41,469 visitors in 11,916 cars, and North Carolina beat Ohio for .second place with 13,641- persons, against 12,269, but we fell down on the .number of cars. Ohio had 4,420 against our 4,151. We evidently pack up our cars more. , But we are glad to see that North Carolinians are taking more interest in the park, for in com parison with other states nearby our average number of visitors is not something to . be especially proud of, when we consider what the park means to the state. STRIKE AGAINST STRIKES (Keowee Courier) . When , shall there' come an end to strikes? The answer may be when it is too late. The public has been .patient and long suffering, and that, too, when the safety of the country is endangered as a re sult. The strikers may have a just cause in some instances for heir demands on management, but at this time, there can hardly be a sufficient cause to warrant a strike. Just as the public has been show ing patience, the workers might well do the same thing. In the end they will find it greatly to their advantage. But an endless holding up of defense work because of small grievances may endanger labors gams. That sympathetic public that supported them to their present advanced position in the nation's economic set up, may be come threadbare, and will. Labor leaders may think themselves in vincible but an aroused public op inion can turn the clock back for them two decades in a short time Lest the leaders take heed they are headed to a descending course mm 'i. i ii tt I NewsQddities . ... by Jacobs LOWERS PROM CALIFORNIA. , PICKED EACH MORH - ikis Ae sixi C IK1 N.y.
