I Phone 143 Elkin, N. C. ment and private, that are de signed to reach the youth of our country. Perhaps never before has there been such an intensive effort to formulate wholesome programs for reaching our citi zens of tomorrow. And no Feder al expenditures are producing finer results. As this weekly article is being written, there is gathered in Washington some ten thousand boys and girls from twenty states and the National Capital. They represent a voluntary organiza tion of youngsters, banded to gether with the very fine purpose of protecting the life and limb of their schoolmates. I am happy that North Carolina is well repre sented in this demonstration here and it is most refreshing to see the shining faces of these happy boys and girls as they go about THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA the National Capital, receiving the inspiration offered by our great institutions. Next month will see thirty thousand boy scouts gathered here for a National Jamboree. A tented city is being built along the banks of the Potomac and with many nations of the world engaged in diplomatic intrigues that may loose the "gods of war," it is in spiring to see the "peace time cantoment" being built for the Boy Scouts. It is a challenge to our national leaders to maintain peace on the American continent. Another indication of the or jganization for youth is the prep aration for continuing the activ ities of the Civilian Conservation Corps. It is now evident that the Congress will provide the neces sary funds for maintaining, at least for the present, the work of the CCC camps.. Certainly if our nation can afford to maintain military camps in time of war, we can afford to maintain camps in time of peace, where young men, unable to find employment on farm or in factory, can live in the outdoors, maintain their health, and receive training and discipline so necessary to our youth. All these things indicate that we need not fear for tomorrow. Our younger generation is being well trained in the responsibili ties of citizenship. Our young sters are getting a deeper insight into the fundamental purposes of government. They have a fine re spect for the roots of our national institutions. And we can rest as sured that despite many uncer tainties existing today, we are preparing to leave our affairs of the future in capable hands. Another favorable Indication is the fact that our great educators, in our colleges, our universities and our high schools are more and more turning toward putting education on a practical basis. In other words, training students for the practical art of earning a livelihood. More and more there is growing belief that our young men and women must be trained for the field in which they are to engage. If a man is to be a me chanic, there is little need for him studying things that will have no practical application in this field. To put it another way, vocational education is gaining ground and no better evidence of this is found than the large Federal grants to aid our educational in stitutions in giving vocational training in agriculture and in dustry. The opportunity today for our boys and girls to receive an edu cation is greater than ever before. The young man or woman who ihas selected his or her goal in life and is desirious of training for the hard road that leads to that goal, will find resources available to give him help. Even the Fed eral Government is today giving such aid. As another school year comes to a close, I know of no finer sub ject to mention than that regard ing which I have written, with the hope that it will leave a word of encouragement with our citi zens of tomorrow, on the farm, and in the smaller communities to which America must look for leadership in the days to come. Little Mountain The farmers of this section are very busy setting tobacco plants although there is a very scarce supply of them. The people of this community were very much delighted with the nice shower Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Doc Color and family of Pilot Mountain, were the Sunday guests of Mrs. M. A.

The Duke of Windsor and Mrs. Wallls Warfleld Simpson, for whom he gave up his throne, discuss marriage plans in a Harden of the Chateau de Cande after a six-months separation. Now that coronation ceremonies for his brother George VI are over it is expected their wedding will take place in June. (FIRESIDE PHILOSOPHY (By C. M. Dickson) Some people do not have to look high to raise their sights. Unless a person is real hungry he cannot properly relish his food. Nudists are perfectly natural. Where one thing is sufficient, two are super fluous. " l Tis possible to have several jopper cents, but little com mon sense. Blessed is the man who is really "human." When one's "liver" ceases to function, he is dead. The Chinese say that when they see our religion at home that it loses some of its "romanticism." Many a man would be aston ished should he hear his own funeral. The religion of the "Sunday" Christian is elastic —he can use it anyway he pleases during the other six days of the week. Should a truth become stale merely because it has survived the ravages of time? The very minute a person be comes idle the devil goes on a picnic. A person can know and then not be wise. ->*& Somebody must be behind. Time hangs heavy on an idle man's hands. It's as easy to be too smart as it is not to be quite smart enough. Suckers are not hard to catch. A new way of civilizing people —"cannonizing" them. Some people are too lazy to start and too slow to stop. Empty heads are like gourds— they are easily rattled. A sure way to civilize a nation is to exterminate it. What a victim a headless crown must be! Every person is entitled to all the liberty he is capable of using. A person who blows hot and cold at the same time is liable to have trouble with his wearing ap ing apparel. No one should be forced to roost on a limb if he prefers to burrow in the ground. Fine houses do not necessarily make fine homes. To lose gratitude is to lose the greatest of Virtues. To have less than nothing is to be in debt and have nothing with which to pay it.

PARK The famous Thomas Children quartet, of Liberty, will appear in a concert at Mountain Park school -Saturday, May 29, at 8 p. m., in a program of vocal and instru mental music.

The box-office man asked, "Why aren't you in school?" "Oh, it's all right, sir," said the youngster earnestly, "I've got the measles." Once Only HojaGk—Have you ever done any public speaking? Cutajar—Only once, when I proposed to a girl over a telephone in my home town.
