THE RAILWAY OR THE HIGHWAY? The answer is-both! For
in many Southern communities early economic development was
pioneered by the railway. In other areas, roads and highways first
served the transportation needs. But either way, both railways and
highways are indispensable " created resources" of the South today.
Like natural resources, created resources should be cared for and
conserved for the use and benefit of all. Certainly the public interest
is poorly served when resources of any kind are threatened, damaged
or depleted for the selfish benefit of a few.
The South needs good streets and highways? just as it needs
strong, efficient, financially-sound railways. Both are basic Seated
resources of this great land? not to be wasted or abused by a few?
but to be protected and preserved for the lasting benefit of all.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NEWS
By MRS. BETH ODPFM
(Supervisor i
The characters In books and
their adventures became very
real to the 5th grade pupils in
the classrooms of Mrs. Marga
ret Ramsey and Mrs. Edith
Hemphill at the Franklin Ele- ,
mentary School as they studied
and read about the men and
women who explored and pio
neered our country; who (ought1
to free it and to keep it free;
who turned its forests into
fields and its prairies Into
ranches; and built machinery
and cities such as the world
never knew.
Using colored chalk, crayons,
tempera paints, corn shucks,
newspapers, and scraps of
cloth, the groups expressed
ideas gained in a scene depict
ing early life In America. First
they decided what the general
background should be and then
divided into committees to work
out specific areas. They used
colored chalk on a blackboard
extending the entire length of
the classroom to make this
scene. Characters and animals
were constructed out of news
paper and painted with tempera
paints by Mrs. Hemphill's pupils.
Mrs. Ramsey's group made
characters from corn shucks ,
and made clothes for them from
bits of cloth. These characters,
engaged in various activities,
were placed on tables in front
of the colorful background,
thus making the things they
had read become very live and
real.
Mrs. Hemphill's group gave
interesting reports on books
they read, relating to the study
of American history, by por
traying a character in a class
program.
Many stories of early life in
America were written by the
pupils. Ten-year-old Paul Ed
wards expressed his ideas in the
following poem:

Columbus came across the blue,
And never thought of seeing you.
He carried a sword In his belt.
And oh! how proud he must
have felt.
He never thought of today,
When he came from Spain so .
far away.
Now he sleeps in his grave so |
sound,
But he never dreams about
what he found.
Following a study of North
Carolina history, Rebecca Tavel,
8th grade pupil of Mrs. Mar
garet Flanagan, wrote this
poem:
When Columbus first sailed
across the sea,
Do you think he found people
like you and me?
No, for the people he found
were dark and brown,
And could creep through the
forest without a sound.
They peeped from behind each
forest tree,
In hopes the enemy they could
see.
But after awhile no trees could
be found,
For the white men had cut
nearly all of them down.
Now this made the Indians very
sore.
And so followed a bloody war.
But peace to all finally came,
And the people had but one
aim:
To make this land what it is
today.
And they succeeded, we are
proud to say.
