OUR SCHOOL HAS
WINNING WAYS
You can’t keep a good school
down.
Last week’s Pilot recorded the
triumph for the seventh succes
sive year of the Southern Pines
High School Glee Club in the
elimination contest of schools in
this district. The.se youthful boy
and girl singers will now go to
the State Music Festival in
Greensboro for the finals
against other district winners.
On top of that comes the
news that a local student, Lewis
Haynes of the eighth grade,
emerged as the winner over 39
competitors in the third annual
spelling bee conducted by the
Winston-Salem Journal-Sentinel
in the Reynolds Auditorium in
the Twin-City.
And the boys have started
winning baseball games.
Good news on all fronts.

A MESSAGE OF
APPRECIATION’
In a letter of appreciation and
thanks for publicity accorded
the cause, George Watts Hill of
Durham, State chairman of
“Fighting Funds for Finland,
Inc” writes The Pilot:
“While a few checks in the
name of ‘Fighting Funds’ still
continue to come into the office,
I feel that it only proper that
we should officially discontinue
any further activities.
“You will be interested to
know that approximately S7,100.
has been collected in North Car
olina. I think this is a remark-
abVe sum when we remember
that the campaign was on a vol
untary basis; that no effort was
>made to solicit funds; and that
the program was just beginning
to gather momentum when the
peace treaty was signed. May I
thank you for your cooperation
and assistance in a most worthy
cause.”
As a large proportion of the
fund raised in the state came
from the Sandhills section. The
Pilot passes along to the gen
erous donors the thanks of Mr.
Hill—and of Finland.

With the tobacco acreage going
into effect this year we are trying to
encourage everyone to earn the full
payment under the Soil Conservation
Program. On order to do this it will
be necessary to plant certain acreage
of cover crops in each and every farm.
Last year there were a good many
who did not receive the full payment
on the farm due to the fact that the
soil building goal on the farm was not
Pot reached. The parties who lost
these payments possibly lost enough
money to have paid for all the seed
It would have taken to put In these
crops. This year we are especially anx
ious that all this money be earned.
A certain amount is set up for pay
ments on each farm and can only be
oarned by this particular farm. If
it is not too early to begin thinking
about all these things. Prices later

needs now and get these seed right
away you will be able to save some
money and also be sure that you

them. I am sure that most any farm
can use the money for these pay.

our farms ne»'d the cover crops. It
will enable you to save money on
\our fertilizer bills and at the same
time build up your farm. Let’s take
advantage of the opportunity while
we have it.

NO ARMISTICE
AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS
With victory in sight over an
enemy that deserves no quarter
and respects no treaty, what sol
dier would consider an armis
tice? The fight against tubercu
losis has reached that state.
The organized warfare against
tuberculosis is going into its
thirty-seventh year. In 1904, a
few doctors and laymen decided
that the accepted attitude of that
day—if you get “consumption,”
you die—w'as senseless.
They knew that tuberculosis
was a communicable disease,
that it could be controlled, even
tually eradicated, by a relentless
attack, directed by the medical
profession, aided by the people.
The vision of those men in
1904 has almost become a real
ity. In thirty-six years, the death
rate among the population as a
whole has been cut over three-
fourths The disease has been
forced from first place as a
cause of death in this coluntry
to seventh place.
Three-fourths of the way to
ward complete victory in this
country in thirty-six years—an
accomplishment when we re
member that tuberculosis has
been firmly entrenched in the
human race for thousands of
years.
This is no time, though, to re
view past histories, to consider
a let-up in the fight. The last
quarter of the way lies through
the next few decades, during
the lifetime of most of us.
