Almost a unanimous de-r mand was made for a vote,. The result was that the motion t. There t was general rejoicing ! over the result of the vote REFLECTIONS OF A MOUNTAIN SCHOOL TEACHER (By JACK V, JOYCE) IN REPLY "WHAT I THINK OF THAT". I notice that "Monteirh" re plied to Mr. Newton's1 suggestion a bout a welfare board. ; Monteith sug gests that the principals of the school snouia majte up tnia ooara win one of the Commissioners as the Chair man. Now this seems to me useless, Not that I would not be willing to do my Dart as a teacher.' - But we teach ers are only in the. district for a pe riod ef sight months, some only tor t Months. What would the people do the needy ones durinff the rest of the year- Then again not- many of us are elected back to the same place for two consecutive years. One of the cltisens of the county suggested that if they are" going to .have" anything like this in Madison, County, snouia be nut in the hamis of the Sheriff of the County and his deputies.. They know the people and are about all over the county and. they are. here in the county for twelve months of the year. What about that, "Monte'th." On March 4 at about 7:30 we are going to have our closing exercises here at Piney Grove School. We hope that as many can come out will do so. We invite all who will come from sur rounding communities . to come and be with us. We are. hoping to have a good crowd and a big time. I suppose that the greatest search that is going on in the worjd today is the search for truth. We are busy ing ourselves with trying to And out the truth about everything and with It we are confusing some things hope lessly. In the search for the truth a bout Creation, the Darwin theory of evolution based on the idea that man came from a lower order of animals comes and people are proclaiming it as the Truth. Of course we all have a right to our own opinion about this, I don't believe, however, that one can be a believer of the Bible and still believe in the Darwin Theory of Evo lution. Of course in a sense of the word I m an evolutionist. I pity the man who is not. The kind of evolu tionist that I take pride in being is the kind that believes that tne worm ZTZa is eettinsr better all the time, k oo human beings., that believe that the world is aroinar to the bow-wows. Yes, of course, we have -more crime now than we used to have a few years ago, T'll admit tat. But what about the increase in population T I doubt if the ratio of proportion is very much larger now than it has been in the pact. I notice as I expect do all who read the papers these "days that this newly-organized North Carolina uime League is very busy trying to get the anti-evolution bill , passed "n North Carolina. . ' I surely hope that we have enough broad-minded representatives down at Raleigh who will not disgrace North Carolina with passing that bill. Now I ean hear some good brother or sister; immediately calling me names because of what I have just said, so I want to explain myself a little bit. In a previous article I think I stated my stand on the evolution question. I believe emphatically the Bible ac count of the Creation of Man word for. word. . . But readers, the children of our state are going to learn about this theory from somewhere, why not teach in the schools and give the teachers a chance to show up the folly of this theory. I don't believe tne majority; of the teachers believe in this theorys - I think the .majority have better sense. - I don't know how many of us read a little piece in the Asheville Times of a recent " dste. When I read it I thought how good it was. . I pass it, on to you. What do you think of it J ? Here ft is:s "Old time relieion that we hear so. much a; bout t began in the ,, home and the Church and never lobbied "ia'the Leg islature for laws to enforce virtue."

VICKRKY NUMBER TEN This poem was composed hy MISS TEXA HUNTER. A Senior of Mars Hill High School, about the old school bus. There's a little old Ford somewhere in Mars Hill, She rambles right on over all these hills; She don't mind the weather she's got the pep, -When the gasoline's gone, she runs on her rep. She. rambles and rambles, out that's no sin, For the Ford I've described ja.old Number Ten, She don't mind the weather- ehe -don't mind tha mire ,1 For this"piece o' 'shinery" is no "flat tire." The steamboat whistle is helps her out; To warn the students on hed daily route. Early every morning, she's Bull Creek bound, Later in the day, at the Forks of I vy she's found; The old engine buszzes, and roars, and fries, But No. 10 climbs all these hills in high. There is no Cadillac, Overland or Nash, Can this little Ford's reputation smash; She runs over rocks and mud-holes, too, Some Hudsons won't, but the lit tle Fords do. If you want a car that'll be a friend, Choose an ole tm Liz like Number Ten; Some lights are broken, and the seats, they shake, Oh, what a rattle and a fuss they . make. But this disaster and e very-day noise Only adds to our daily joys. The driver, we know is an ideal lad, He's true to No. 10 when the wath er is bad. He makes his round, be it rain or snow, The little Ford runs on what he - sows. There's never a car to have more praise, Than old No. 10 we ride each day. And there is no Ford, and hardly a friend ' That can hardly compare with No. 10.

Since the av- eraire farmer leaves the garden tj the wife to look after, you see to it that he gets it in fine shape the first nice days that come, and get all the seeds you need, and, want (they cost but lit- tie, anyway) nd have them ready when planting time comes.
