SUBSCRIPTION BATES Months OMTaar light Month, fat Months Four lfoathi , UTORIAL sf 4 A BETTER SYSTEM FOR DRIVES One of the most urgent needs in "Madison County, in or pinion, is a better system in which to raise funds for Abe various drives. In this modern time, when everybody fa busy, it is difficult to find anyone who actually has the ttime to spare to do a creditable job as chairman for any drive, say nothing of getting necessary "helpers" who will volunteer to solicit donations. The public, in general, ideas-"t give too much time analyzing the work and time it takes to properly conduct a drive. It must be remembered that a person who voluntarily accepts the responsibility as chairman of any drive must Jmre' the cooperation from many others in order that the. 'drive may be successful. With so many drives during the jTcar, it is indeed difficult to find a person who is willing to aerve as chairman. Usually, the person who is kind nough to accept this responsibility is a busy person. Many men and women who actually have the time to devote to a drive, emphatically refuse to head a drive. For instance, the current March of Dimes Drive Chair man Mrs. R. G. Franklin is a busy person. She is ecretary to the county superintendent and her duties are iheavy and tiresome. Mrs. Franklin, nevertheless, volun teered to do the best she could in order that the March of XHmes Drive might be a success. Although she works daily in the superintendent's office and at the same time 3teeps house for her husband and small child, she has that enviable disposition to do whatever she can for others. This is indeed an admirable trait. Certainly, she is to be commended for her efforts and deserves full cooperation of the public throughout Madison County. Mrs. Franklin receives no money for this task. She receives very little praise and at the same time devotes hours of her much seeded time in an effort to help he victims of polio. This is only one example of the heavy burden of a drive. There are many more Red Cross, Crippled Chil dren, Heart, Cancer, Tuberculosis Christmas Seal, and oth ears. Someone must volunteer to head each drive. In .turn, :the chairman must secure necessary helpers throughout sthe County, he responsible for the conduct of the drive, re ceive reports from various workers, write, address and( .mail letters, answer numerous phone calls, visit, talk and Jbeg in order that a drive .might be successful. l The unfor tunate thing is that when such a chairman asks for dona 4aona, many seem to think.4hey're "picking, on -em," and 'wprrying them. ' Some even go out the back ddor when they see some solicitor come in the front door. people most realize each Demon's resDonsibilitv in a. HrfW and co- A ' On the other side of the - seem to be a growing number of drives. Each one, to be sure, a worthy drive', but at the same time when there are so many, it seems like someone is soliciting most every ' wrjciekv With the other solicitations being made other than 4he customary drives, businessmen are getting a bit irri table. Isn't there some better system which might help all concerned? Many places have a United Fund Drive annually, at -which time donations are made in a lump sum and divided among the various drives. Others ha've a Community -Cheat Drive which is closely related to the United Fund system. In 'our opinion, one annual drive of this type would meet with much better re ponse instead of so many individual drives. It is true that some of the drives can .not join in such a united drive, but many can. It seems to us that it is time that such a change be .made if at all possible before too many drives for this and that drives us all crazy. We do urge everyone in Madison County to donate Siberally to the March of Dimes Drive to help combat polio And care for those who have already been stricken. Let's snake it a March of Dollars instead of Dimes. LIVING GENERATION JBofamo. Ind. Mark Cory In- M " X"I'-"IN in on May 4 to Mr. and Mrs. '.

' i Marshall, North Carolina V, Dear Mr. Story; ti;i Your editorial a tha Dacembar 18 Issue concerning artioultare and the (awa axprasaad by tha aditor of the Southern Plantar pointed o a truly algniAeaat ocloloical . .fact the oanoiMUca mifratloa of young pea. from the farm ta fba industrial areas of northern United States. As was apparent in tha editorial, the motivating impulae to this, migra' tion was the increased income which would accrue to those working in the north. Statistics indicate that tha number of Americana engaged ia farming has declined steadily since the turn of th century, but tha sise of farms is rapidly increasing. 1 The movement of farm youth to tha less healthy industrial centers makes these facts more easily understood. We do not view with alarm the current trend of migration as the south is also becoming 1 industrial ized and will be, within the next decade, sufficiently attractive to lure many youth from northern industry to areas in which they are indige nous. By that time, it was expected that the wide gap between wagee paid by northern industry and hal paid by southern industry Will . be considerably narrowed. Thus,' it seems inevitable that the wages paid by industry in the south will be more equitable and commensurate with the type of work done. , The industrialization of the south presents educators with a new chal lenge in the vocational and agricul tural fields. How well the transi tion from an agrarian to an indus trial economy is made will depend on the effectiveness with which subr jects are presented in these field and flexibility of curriculum which may allow for a de-emphasis of clas sical subjects in favor of more prac tical subjects on the high school .lev el. The classical subjects woul be reserved for those specializing acquiring higher education. Thus (Continued on Last Page) .1 i, ijn.ii , , 8. :: , .

Last week, or maybe It was week before last, we promised to give you registration and circulation figures. but. for the past week the bookmo bile and I have been doing the circu lating, too far from the 'library in Marshall to got the figures for you. Since we are now on our fourth trip around, and will complete the cir cuit on Friday, the thirteenth, we think it best to wait and give you full coverage for the four-month pe riod. Folks still ask me how much it costs to borrow books. The answer is NOTHING. This service is pro vided free by your state and coun ty. This year the county share was coll-'' by fre will donations. Another question and answer: W. uoff much does it cost if the books are kept overtime? A: You may keep a book for four weeks one trio to the next. It may be renewed ONCE, unless it is a popular book, in which case, you should read it in four weeks, and release it willingly, so others will not be kept waiting too long. If you keep a book over the eight weeks period, you owe five cents on EACH overdue book. We are trying out the system of not putting a limit on the number of books per person. This will work if you take a reasonable number of books and return them at the end of four weeks. You can easily see that it will not work if you take a stack of books and keep them too long. Let's make it work! Rules and regulations are unnecessary if we are thoughtful and considerate of others. You can readily see what w.u nappen ,i you ana iu ana iwu 11 -97 A VAfl all have a number of books in your home, out of circulation.
