Superintendent I responsibility (or ients on any ■H... ■■ten* u gaeond Claw Matter January 1®, 1®». “ «M Paatofflea at Wallaea, North Carolina, under the Art of Marek S, 1W.___ Thursday, December 31, 1936 1937 will be a good year for the person who fights to move ahead. FOR 1937: LETS LOOK OURSELVES IN * THE FACE |The beginning of a New Year always ap peals to the individual who is easily led into thinking that something new really starts and affords an opportunity for inaugurating bet ter days for human beings, governments and associations. The attitude thus created is not without value even if the illusion of beginning over again must be made real by the labor of the person affected. The reader of this article, if so minded, can make the era of new events come true but it depends entirely upon the will power, the stamina and the courage of the party involved. Since there are, no doubt, hundreds of peo ple in this county who will look forward to 1937 with bright hopes and high aspirations, it is not amiss to give them some encourage ment. There is no reason why individuals should not take the New Year as a time for checking up, to weigh progress made and to plan advances for the future. Every man and •very woman desires improvement and to 4well upon your own state in frankness with yourself is the first step forward. v Throwing aside all the advanced talk of mental scientists it may be assumed that the first duty of the individual is self-develop ment. Properly understood this includes all the rest of the program. The person who de velops properly is able to understand others and to make himself, or herself, understood in a world that is complex with problems and confused with error. It is an achievement that few of us realize. We believe it is a good plan to give a few hours to self-analysis regularly and New Year’s day is apt to find us in such a mood. As a practical method, let us suggest that you write down, for your private contemplation, a list of vices and virtues, making a sort of bal ance sheet of your personal qualities. When you have done this, study the results a bit. Spread out a little further and include a list ing of your activities in your community. Put down in writing, if you will, the names of the local organizations that, you think, deserve your support and, also, the operations in your area that do not, in your opinion, deserve your sanction. When you finish, check up on your contribution, in service or cash, to make these agencies function. It will give you an idea of what lies ahead of you. KIND WORDS FOR LEGISLATORS Congress wi.l soon assemble to consider the state of the Union and to determine what' leg islation, if any, should be passed for the bene fit of the people of the United States. The duty assumed by Congressmen is rarely understood by the voters. The men who com pose the two houses are nob super-men. They cannot lay claim to all wisdom and, at best, the most that an individual member can do is to try to do the best possible in the light of the circumstances around him. Inasmuch as it is quite common for dis gruntled constituents to blame luckless rep resentatives for many ills, most of which they are entirely unable to relieve, it might be a generous thing, just before the next session opens, to say a few words in praise of the leg islators of the United States. Of course, we realize that there are worth less men elected to high office and that they do not add prestige to the workings of democracy. However, by far the majority of those who en gage in public service are imbued with a de sire to be effective and to make positive con tributions to the welfare of the nation and its citizens. With this in mind, let’s pause a moment in contemplating personal affairs and give a greeting to all legislators in Washington, the State capitals and minor legislative assem blies. Let’s hope that they have more wisdom than we think they have, that their labors will fcear abundant fruit and that their work will rebound to their own credit and the better ment of their constituents. RISING PRICES MAY HURT The rising price of wheat is welcomed by wheat growers. While an advance means more money for the wheat on hand today, it may cause the production of an excessive crop in 1937 with consequent price collapse which will take a heavy toll from all growers. This paper realizes that much has been ac complished for the farmers during the past four years and that much more will have to be accomplished before the cash income of far mers attains the level of 1928. While prices have shown great improvement over the de pression years, they have been sustained, in part, by reduced production. The farmers’ goal will not be reached until a fair price is obtained for normal production. While this is desirable, it will not be accomplished by vio lent fluctuation of production and prices but rather by the slow improvement of interna tional markets for agricultural products. While the gain in wheat prices has been spectacular, a rise has been seen in cotton, cotton seed oil, other foodstuffs, wool, leather and hides. With these crop prices going up, farmers will probably be enticed into plant ing submarginal lands which the nation has been painfully taking out of cultivation. There is also apt to develop something of a specula tion in land values, with increasing and grow ing mortgages, which will mean heavy losses when the price level recedes. It should be ob served that recent gains are attributed by many experts to purchases made by Europe in anticipation of a probable war. . LIFTED • WOULD BE 80 The News and Observer, Monday, Dec. 28 Eighty years ago today Woodrow Wilson was born in the Presbyterian Manse in Staunton, Va., of Ohio parents who became Southern ers of “the straightest” quality. The war President, reared in the South in Reconstruction days, felt' deeply the tragedies of that period so vividly recently portrayed in "Gone With the Wind”. Though most of his mature years were spent in Northern univer sities he never lost the feeling of the Recon struction wrongs. He was as broad as the continent in his sympathies but regarded him self as a Southerner of the widest sympathies. “When I am dead you will find ‘Calais’ writ ten on my heart”, said Queen Mary. If he had spoken the language of his inner self, Wood row Wilson would have said as the lengthen ing shadows fell upon him: “When I am dead you will find the ‘League of Nations’ written on my heart”. He died believing that the spi rit of the League would one day put an end to human slaughter. Not long before the “sun set and evening star” for him, Woodrow Wil son said to a very dear friend who shared his faith that wars could and would be ended: "Do not trouble about the things we have fought for. They are sure to prevail. They are only delayed. .. . And I will make this concession to Providence—it may come in a better way than we proposed.” In this day of the hectic fashioning of ar maments, of armies and navies, it is not easy to be steadfast in the faith that inspired Wil son. But as the darkest hours are just before dawn so the light irradiating from Peace may bless this troubled world and the dream oi Woodrow Wilson be realised. MY HOMAGE By UkU Kenan 0, lovely star of the East, to night To you I must humble homage P*y [Thou, blessed of all the heav enly light, To be chosen above His head to stay! Don't you feel His love? It descends To me, undeserving, thou pur est you. On it many a turn of fortune depends; - But' not only I have beheld the blue. “• • Delight was not meant alone to dwell— If it were so, no Savior we’d need; Disappointment is a part of ev ery cell And to better and worse each act must lead. But for meeker souls, who shame to express Their great gratitude of grue some years, I perform my duty, and firmly stress 1 The smothered fact: there’s need in tears. Of hearty thanks. Why can’t they see Their blessings, when they come, bountiful? Why, for each worry He sends handy a sea Of cures; for each pain a lofty crown full. With the soothing sweet of His skillful joy, Since before the wiles of the old Rome age There’ve been friends, and from love, joy He made born the One who re ceives my homage. Rose Hill News Mrs. A.
