June 19, 1931 i i ■ r Redeem the Home What would John Howard Payne write about* now if he were living? In his day, he had the inspiration ul the greates! subject and the finest sentiment that ever moved num. and so it was easy then for him to write "Home, Sweet Home. ' But now things are different. We i)o longer use home as a place of peace and joy. We use it as a kind of station wh re we ian yawn, mutter and grumble about the short-comings' of our neigh bors, a place where we may curse our enemies. find that home bores the children; they want to gallop away in the early morning and enjoy this new de structive freedom that takes the place of and re moves every vestige of obedience, love and respect the child once had for the home. And then there are the-mothers and wives who run around seeking tin fancy functions of their modern aiuT dangerous so ciety. One of the greatest needs in this town, county, stale and union is to redeem the home, not so much from the mortgages as to its propre place in the minds and hearts of the men, women and children. This one thing would lower our prison population, limit the cases of shame and tragedy; our suicides, our divorces, our" scandals would Ite reduced SO JHT cent in number We may never l»e able to retrieve the home and br.ng it back to where it rightfully belongs. However, we need not exj>ett to get many of the most valuable lessons in life in any other place but at home. When we fail there, we will have a civilization resting on a much lower plane than it should l>e. If John Howard I'ayne should come to earth now. he might write a poem of sorrow and.gloom over, the loss to some home of its sweetest yflower, a girl or i boy. Plenty of News News is the same, according to the statement of the average man, which is nearly always untrue. -It may be so that to many j*iple there is no news, yet to the man or woman who sees and thinks, there is al ways news. The good, quiet limes, which give, u-> our greatest peace and -deepest- («> , is good~-news,—al though we do not count it, and only pay attention to the sensational, such as scandals, tragic deaths, and like things as news»r Poultry on Every Farm Mr. G. A. Cardwell, agricultural agent for the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, adv ; s»s th* raising of chickens for winter shipment to the north. He says the supply of cold storage poultry and eggs is smaller than usual and this should hold the poultry market up through the season. Poultry is one thing that every farmer'should pr >- duce. There is always enough waste around a farm to carry a reasonable number of chickens without a great extra feed cost. A small range of green feed no: only takes care of a flock large enough to supply the family with eggs and chickens, but it guarantees a sure cash income. With plenty of chickens on the lot, it makes tittle difference if the meat and butter are out; chicken and eggs wilt take their place, ■ High Cost of Living Not All The high cost of living has been the cause for mut'i talk in this county during the past few years, and the talk has been justified, no doubt. However, the expense of living is not the only high cost that hu manity has to face. It costs a lot to be born and die. Jn fact, it coats as much to come into the world and go oat as it cost in years past to stay here ha'f a cen The cradle and the coffin will consume the fortune of half of the average person. Doubtless these items of high coat have come from the stylish demand of the age in which we are living. Style is a fine thing bat when we consider the fact that our birth mortality is BNKh Mghar than in many countries with far less enlightenment than our own, we wonder if our Ameri ca* style* an not responsible for the deaths of many We are extremists; hence we make things high y PUBLISHED CVERV TUittAY AND FRIDAY Things We Need and Things We Want We should learn the importance of recognizing the difference between the things we need and the thing* we do not need, and how dangerous it is to have things we do not need. A boy wants a razor before he needs it; a girl wants a watch before she can tell the time of day. If they get what they want, they are subject to hurt themselves and destroy the prop erty. . » The childish desire for things we do not need does not stop with children; it goes on through middle and even to old ige. We have given so much of our time, thought and energy in an effort to secur* things we really did not need that the practice hurts us.' The result has l>een a weakening of us either physically, mentally or morally. Some are facing bankruptcy. The health of others has been impaired. The morals of still others may have been weakened, and it is cer tain that the we have wasted much time, all because we sought so rityny things that we did nut need. A reform along this line will help us to work our way to a Itetter position in life. And we must leave off many of the things we do not need if we are to succeed. The Hungry Stranger What shall we do with the hungry passerby is one of the major problems facing the country. We are rapidly coming to the place when we* must give this question more thought than we have ever given it before. Many thousands of people, ground down by poverty, are going from one community to another hoping to find work in the change, and in virtually every case their sad lives are enshrouded in deejx-r gloom by the words. ' No place for you." There was a time, in fact, it has always been that the few unfortunates, the weaklings and the unfruit ful ones could be easily taken care of. That condition has been overcome and the great army of needy souls is on march, unable to find work and take care of itself. The real danger in this crisis lurks in the possibility of closing our hearts and consciences to the ap|)eals of the needy and hungry ones. Some of the number are unworthy, of course, but some and most of them are deserving of every consideration, possible. They, with as clean hearts and souls as we possess, and who through desperate circumstances have been reduced to poverty with their bodies emaciated and shrunken lor the want of food, must be considered. With the fac tory jobs gone, and the world markets closed, their jobs will return no more to those people making up the vast army of unemployed humans. Their only chance now is centered arond the last fight, a fight for food to save life. Now is the day for p'ih'tic an, newspapers, preach ers and teachers to tell the |>eoplc the whole truth, but not to frighten them in giving ihe solemn warning of the task that will be theirs in saving life. Relief can only be found in the land, where the unemployed . tan seed and cultivate the earth for their livelihood. And they need not expect their food arjd raiment to spring forth in the future from the over-crowded fac tories, and neither can they expect their livelihood grow in the payed side walks of the cities and towns. While this process of readjustment is in formation, the only hope for the millions rests in chairtable liearLs and if charity fails them they starve. A Moral Nose Dive Florida has taken a moral nose dive. She has just passed a gambling law similar to the three proposed bills killed by our last legislature. There is still ground to sing "The Good Old North State." Gambling is dishonest in toto and when any state 4>t |*>rson-lets down the bar to their soul and allows the practice to lake root in their heart,. .they will find a'crop of crime springing up in their midst. When a state sells its sacred rights to gamblers, no matter how high the price, it is cheated. Deserves Sympathy and Censure Gwir..uiy says she is just not able to jwy her debts. That proves that Germany is not unlike other peop'e and countries. Still, we can't help feeling that Ger many is the main cause of so many debts, as well as for 10,OCX),000 or more deaths. While we sympathize with tier many, we confess our sympathy is mingled with censure. Mellon and Meat Some have meat and cannot eat, And some have not ami uant it; H'* must eat meat despite the heat Or the packers will not like it. - J In the future the Secretary of the Treasury will not |>ertnit the United ■ States Public Health Service to give the public any health advice which threatens the |>rofits yf the packing industry. The packers protested when the Health Service is sued a bulletin recently suggesting that less meat should be eaten during the warm summer months. The Secretary has now issued an order that hereafter all bulletins must be submitted for his scrutiny before going to the public. Censorship will do the rest. ' Many sacrifices have been asked of us during the .depression, but up to this time no one had suggested that we sacrifice health—or our notions of health on the altar of sales. It seems a rather large sacri fice to make. Apparently we've got to chew our way out of this mess we're in, let the digestive apparatus groan aa it may. Meanwhile we have a suggestion to make to Mr. Mellon. It b that he contribute to the welfare of the packing industry by recommending revised taxes which will fall less heavily on the nun of moderate means.
