E. Shipman, leading lawyer of Hendersonville and one of the out standing men of Western North Car olina. was speaking to a group in an ancient fraternity recently and as serted that our financial and econom ic depression over the world was pre eeded by a spiritual depression, and reminded his hearers that history is replete with such instances. Accord ing to Mr. Shipman's reasoning, the peoples of the world have not yet te-ched the point where they can en joj prosperity without relinquishing tilth- grip upon things spiritual. Judging from individual experi tnces, Mr. Shipman is correct in hi: assertions. We know it to be a fad that but few individuals can stanc prosperity; that is, with the coming of prosperity there is an immediat* tet-down in one's spiritual life to sucl an extent that even common neigh iorliness gives way to a snobbishnes; which can have no other effect thai that of deadening one's finer sensi biliiies. Of course there are exception: to t!ie rule, but exceptions in thesi tases are rare indeed. There is lacking spiritual influ ances in the life of any person wh< the South Carolina line This will open up auM'.h: r great artery into r.nd through vtv Hi' the most beautiful sections of the Blue Ridge mountains, anil will be traveled extensively by large aumbirs of people timing into the mountains by Pickens. There is another reason for our in ter t in this highway that is most impelling. It will bo, recalled that die Brevard Chamber of Commerce. Sunie three years ago, sent, a delega tion of about fifty men to Pickens ?atid pledged to the citizens of that community that if South Carolina would pave the highway to the State line, North Carolina would meet that State halfway, and pave the road from 28 to join the highway at the State line. Well, South Caro lina, manifesting gr.eatsst faith in the integrity and sincerity of her neigh bor, went ahead and performed that State's part of the work. It is, therefore, the duty of all citizens here to do all they can to make good the pledge that Brevard made to Pickens. ft is gratifying to know that Pres ident Jerry Jerome and Chairman Duncan MacDougald are doing all they can to hasten the preparations for completion of this important road work. Mr. Howard, in charge of the highway work in this district, is like wise doing what he can to have thi? aork done. Business picking up since all the hoys in Washington got busy, work ing together. MANY FEAR THAT UNITED I STATES WILL BE IN WAR. , ! \*m* the fighting betwcap CHlna and Japan growing in intensity, and j over increasing numbers of soldiers being thrown ihto the fray* many citizens of the United States. are wondering just how the conflict caw loqg rage without tMa country being drawn into the melee. At the risk of being read out by The Raleigh Times, this weekly newspaper ex presses the belief that Russia wiil soon become an activc ally of Japan, and join in the actual fighting. The whole thing is assuming such threat ening proportions that America can hardly escape becoming ini^lved m ?the conflict. ! China is proving so much more stubborn than Japan ever thought the sleepy nation could become, that desperate action may well be expect ed from the wily Jap without but little further delay. The situation is such as to give cause for real con cern among the American people. An other world war now wou'u have most disastrous results, far more serious J tan we can even imagine. It would not be amiss for citizens everywhere to become interested in this question and begin correspondence with Wash ington officials on the situation. If war comes, remember that the fight ing forces will be recruited from ' among the boys in the American fam ilies such as just now are reading tnis ' weekly newspaper, and it is very ' much the business of such families ' whether or not this country becomes ' involved in the war of the East. r ) .. : TROWBRIDGE SPEAKS . TO LADIES OF CLUB ? Prof. C. H. Trowbridge, president of Weaver College, addressed the ladies of the Mathatasian club and - memBers of other clubs of Brevard ) in open meeting i nthe parlor of the Baptist church Thursday afternoon, Feb. 11. i Mrs. Harold Norwood, president of ? the Mathatasian club, presided over - the program. f Mrs. A. II. Kizer rendered a de . lightful solo which was a groat source of entertainment to the audience, i Immediately following his intro ! duct ion by Mrs. Oliver Orr, Prof. Trowbridge began his address which was on "The Recreation of the " Adolescent Child.'' Mr. Trowbr'dge said that it was a ! child's nature to receive, and an . adult's mission to give. He explained ' that the child during its adolescent ' period must be taught how to dovel ; op into a normal adult, one of the best methods being through play. Prof. Trowbridge declared that * every child passes through the adol - esecnt period at one age or another, i "Every child must cross fool's hill," . he said. "He cannot go under or around it, but he must go over it. "Play i* a vital force, in character building," he asserted, "and develop ing musctes, control of emotions and j accuracy are also important lessons. '"The Scout organization has done more to help the child cross fool's hill than any other organization, ex clusive of the home, "Prof. Trowbridge ."aid. He referred to both the Boy ' rid Oirl Scout organisations. "The child should be taught how to , use leisure time," he said, "for few adults are able to profitably use their :-pare moments.'' At the conclusion of Prof. Trow bridge's spkndid address, Ah in ??i>iore sung two selections which were of great enjoyment.

About a dozen farmers and heads i>f families here said they would like for Mr. Julian Glazener to meet with them at Penrose to discuss the 5-10 Farm program. Others will be inter ested and a good farm group will meet for study. If any part of West ern-North Carolina .should benefit by this movement it should be this splendid Penrose valley. The school children enjoyed their valentine parties, programs and treats last Friday afternoon. Several "love letters" with varied drawings designs and decorations were ex changed. Sylvia Lyda of Vie seventh grade submits this., bit of history of valentine day: St. Valentine was a good priest who lived in Rome a great many years ago. His whole life was given to mak ing other people happy. It was his custom to ii'o from house to house ! feeding the poor, cheering the sad nnd j cortlforting the sick. He was especially fond of children who gathered about j him wherever he went. I Soon he was loo old and feeble to | make his visits and he was very un j happy until he thought of writing let i ters. After that, whenever he thought ! of anyone who was ill, or in need, or', i in sorrow, he would send a letter full I if love and cheer. People began to look forward to these letters and they, thought so much of them, that,- after the good priest's death, his friends said, "Let's honor St. Valentine by sending letters on his birthday to those we love." These letters are called "Valentines."
