THURSDAY, JULY 20,1933 MILLIONS FOR ROADS, NONE FOR SCHOOLS It has always been more or less a mystery with us how the Federal Government could ap propriate millions of dollars for roads and high ways in this state and other states and not a cent for education, except the agricultural de partments and home economic departments, and that only limited. Isn't the problem of education just as important to the children of this and the next generation, than the building of forests, the destroying of growing crops, inflation of currency and regulation of wages and profits? The millions of dollars being borrowed to day for roads must be repaid, mostly by the children of today. The ability to pay those debts and solve these problems mirst be obtain ed by these children in their youth, and in school. Now only, and only in the schools, can boys and girls get equipment for these tasks training that will enable them to make a living and pay their taxes. Youth is a short-time possession of each child. It is the one period in which the mind can be formed, aspirations kindled, impulses directed and habits fixed. No- person who reaches maturity without an education can go back and get it. Only those who get it in youth can further develop it in maturity. Without it earning power is lower, social responsibilities unrecognized, public duties neglected. In economizing to meet a part of the ex traordinary expenses of the enu rgency, we are depriving our children of the lull measure of the equipment they shall need for the tremen dous job we are laying for them. This we are doing by shortening school terms, letting school property go in disrepair, decreasing salaries and increasing the work of teachers, omitting cultural subjects, curtailing library service, suspending recreational activi ties, hampering or discontinuing health instruc tion, examinations and corrections. These fle. ficiencies can never be made up for those who suffer them today. Since the-.Government is spending billions of dollars to subsidize, guarantee and protect banks, industries, railroads and farms, and to provide work for the unemployed, can it not spend a small fraction of this total to guarantee to our children the training of mind and body which they will need to meet the national debts they will inherit and to solve the problems that will be theirs tomorrow? Should it do so? We have good reads in North Carolina, well-paved roads in every county from one end of the state to the other,, and a fine system of secondary roads. These roads are: enough to handle the traffic in this state for years. There is no need to built! more roads now. , Certainly there should be no roads built if we are to neg lect our children. If we fail to educate the children of today the roads, even the new roads may grow up in grass for the next generation. On the other hand, if some of our roads should go down now and we continue to educate our children they .will build back the roads when they need them. With an education they can build roads and meet the problems that will be theirs. We must not neglect the education of the children. Mecklenburg Times. ROOSEVELT'S PENS President Roosevelt has had so many re quests for pens with which he signed important bills that he used as many as eight of them to sign a single measure. Usually he signs his first name with one pen, his middle initial with another, and his last name with a third. If more pens are demanded by souvenir hunters, he dots the I with an additional pen and crosses the T with another. The Washington Star. YESTERDAY IS DEAD! You young fellows just out of school. You have had a tough time the last two years. You were anxious to get to work. Nothing opened up. You felt you were butting your heads against a stone wall. This paper passes on to you a phrase it saw the other day. That phrase is, Yesterday is dead ! The country has been bogged down before. It is going to begin to pull out shortly, just mark this. Business is not coming back as it was before. It never does, after going through the wringer. A lot of old leaders and old methods have passed out. A new bunch of aggressive and re sourceful young fellows will come stomping up to grasp new opportunities. For yesterday is dead! New opportunities, mind you. Not the op portunities of the last decade. Those are gone, .f experience is a guide, recovery will not come in orderly fashion, along the old lines. Keen men will see the business chances here and there even while things are at a low level. Chances that grow out of the depression with its chang ed demands. Perhaps these will lie in new products of science in inexpensive novelties, in house cool ing, in cheap farm lands. Men who live in the past will overlook these opportunities. They will be thinking of things as they were in 1921). So they will fail to see the new conditions and take advantage of them. But the alert young crowd will jump at the new chances, develop them, build up with them as business builds up. Yesterday is dead! Have you heard of the flu-flu bird that flies backwards? It wants to see where it has been. It doesn't give a darn where it is going. Don't be a flu-flu bird. You youngsters, seize any decent job that offers. But keep your eyes open. Be ready for now conditions, new ideas. Your humble job may have possibilities that the old order did not reveal. Remember. Yesterday is dead and gone forever. WHAT TO KEEP Here is something so good, found in Wil mer Atkinson's Farm Journal, that it is passed along: Keep apples in a damp, cool place ; grapes in a dry, cool one; and sweet potatoes in a dry warm one; keep a shotgun loaded for sheep dogs and tramps; keep your head cool, your feet dry, your back warm and your conscience dear, your hands busy with your own affairs; keep the boys at home nights by making it so pleasant for them that they'll be glad to stay ; keep the drains in the fields open and free from weeds and leaves; keep out of people's busim'ss; keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking guile; keep up with your work; if you can; keep out of lawsuits and whiskey shops; keep your insect-eating friends, the birds in safety by keeping marauding gunners off your premises; keep the peace if you have to fight for it; keep fresh, cool water in the watering-trough; keep your mouth shut when you are angry and when you are asleep; keep your own courage and health by moderate eating and careful living; keep to the right on all your ways; keep your wife's temper sunny by a nice pile of dry wood away ahead of her needs; keep out of debt; keep your skin clean; keep off the railroad track ; and keep all the commandments. EAGLES DO NOT FLY IN FLOCKS "Aw, everybody else is doing it." Have you ever given that as a reason for wishing to do somehing that others did not think you should do? Perhaps you did not real ly believe it was the right thing to do, but only wanted to be with the crowd. If all the other boys are throwing snowballs or stealing apples or shooting birds, you may find it hard to resist following the crowd. Most of us find it hard to be different. It's easy to swim with the current and hard to swim against it. It is easy to. follow, but hard to be a leader, or to resist when you know-the crowd is in the wrong. Perhaps it will help you then to remember the eagles do not follow the crowd. They do not fly in flocks. The eagle will go his own course, the one his instinct tells him is right, regardless of what others are doing. So when in doubt about what others are do ing, and wondering if you should follow them, remember the eagle. When it would be more pleasant to follow the lead of others, but you feel it is wrong, be an eagle Exchange. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS If REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS .. ..

BARRETT For many of the problems which seriously puzzle us. wc find an oxpla- nation in our study of the? inner workings of na ture's laws. The law of compensa tion is splendidly illustrated in one of William Heche's tiooks, "The A re turns Adventurer." lie cites the case of the peacock, who is gorgeous ly nrra.ved in fine colors and justly voted the aristo crat amoiii! birds. but bus a voice which no bird would covet. The nightingale, on the other baud, is, by common consent, voted the first place anions soul-stirring songsters, yet Ims a plumage wbU-b is not to lie envied. As with the birds, so willi men ami women. The law of compensation explains many, of what appear t. im life's injustices. At times v rr.w very much discouraged with oin m;---We seriously ask why we bad wis i r given a special talent like mr trieiM Upon more careful examination. . ir.y ever, we might be quite utiwiUhi-.-: ' be blessed with that paniruLu- ; out, if at Iho . same time, it :. sharing some . of the other i li:! i , i.stics of that particular p. :-soii Things seem to be equally ti?tl u-in: In this world.
