But don’t * believe it. There must be at ■ at least twice that many, accord- j •ing to the material the Record j keeps receiving from this group \ and that group asking us to ob- . serve all their particular Weeks. Probably there are other Weeks •we don’t, hear about. So what with Cat and Hot Dog ■ Week, Better Mousetrap Week and Be Kind to Your Mother in-Law Week and all the other, we would have a hard time try ing to keep up with them. But among the Weeks w^ 1 can acclaim with honest enthusiasm is 4-H Week, March 5 ,to 13.-As - we cast about for ways of help ing the youth of our county, here is one way that has proved sound and good. The 4-H pro gram is already functioning in Yancey County, offering a .vari ety of wholesome experiences in both work and play to the boys and girls who take part. It should not be necessary to try to list here all the values of 4-H Clubs. Many of these values should be apparent from the bare facts of 4-H work and achievement that appear in news stories in this paper. To men tion only one benefit, 4-H work encpurages development o f many talents, some of which might not be recognized other wise. Par example, a boy who does not make a brilliant show ing in literature or mathematics ' may have a real gift for raising animals or plants, for which he can find no expression in the regular school curriculum. When he wins a prize in a 4-H calf show, for his skill and diligence in his calf project, however, this boy experiences an encour agement that may spell the dis- 1 ference between success and 1 failure for the rest of his life. 1 There is a great need all over < the county for more adult 4-H leaders, both men and women. Just because the clubs already] have teacher-leaders, in addition uu bAh i n cTonjJHS * jmk Jan '"fn rfl Q —Does the Congress have authority to assign any non-judlclal duties to members of the judiciary?- . p A —No. This has been established since 1792 when Congress directed ;i judges of the circuit courts to act as pension commissioners.

AUty •• • • Note: This column is written with malice toward none, but with the common good of all in mind. •• • • A mis-print in our column last week had us to say: “ —now is the time to begin planting.” So, likely as not some, of the early gardeners, will want to blame this writer when their early beans, potatoes, ects., are killed during a sneak attack of “Dogwood Winter,” about Mid- April. Therefore, byway of self defense, we want to repeat what we actually had written. To wit: “Speaking of flowers and gardens, now is the time to be gin PLANNING.” And we might add that a great deal of the joy of gardening, the same to Assistant County Agent and the Home Agent, one should not get the mistaken notion that no more leaders are needed. When we consider that 4-H Clubs are only one of many ex tra-curricular, activities for which teachers are responsible in addition to their regular tea ’ching load and that the two County 4-H workers also have many other responsibilities, we can readily understand why they cannot promote the fullest possi ble 4-H program without addi tional help. It is not necessary that adult leadens have a great deal of formal education, or even that they be parents of 4-H children. A sympathetic un derstanding of young people and of what 4-H Clubs are trying to [accomplish, plus a willingness to give time regularly and de pendably, would seem to be the most important qualifications.

Fact is, Salley, my wife, mostly does the planning. All I got to do is jus ’dopt what she maps opt. Then o* course I plays a bis Jjart in the diggin program. An let me tell ye one thing brother, you all c’n plan all ye want to, what to plant, an when and whar, but when hit comes to gyard’itlng they ain’t nothin’ll take the place o’ diggin.

What a pity that many of the undeserv ing ones who receive this aid seem to have no sense of-shame, but live like parasites off these funds that have been allocated to aid those who are really in need. • • ■* • Recently quite a party was arranged for an old fellow who had reached the venerable age of one hundred years. After many friends had called to leave presents and otherwise pay their respects, a group of news paper reporters and radio an nouncers requested the spright ly centennarian to make a little, speech for the press and broad casts telling others how to live to be a hundred. The old gentle man's speech was brief and to the point : "JUST KEEP A-» BREATHING,” he said. And that reminds us of the octogenarian who....accompanied a relative to dentist. Upon finishing with the patient the doctor requested permission to examine the old man’s teeth, and to his surprise found that •he had a complete set and all apparently sound. “How do you explain this, my friend, having all your teeth and them in good, condition?” he asked. To which the oldster replied, “plenty of good coarse rations, and staying away from—dentists!” ** # * Which calls to mind the little story about a doctor who charg ed An old fellow a rather stiff fee for professional services and then offered the following ad vice when the patient took the required amount from an ex ceedingly large roll of bills: “You should put that money in the bank while you are in town. It is dangerous to carry that much on your person as you might be robbed.” “Wal, I fig ger not.” replied the old man, "I bin a-carryin this roll a good many years, an this is the near est I ever come to being held up yet!” RSI wjgssy CUTTING fIIwASTE SVAITINA CHICKER-iTTS mm had for clicks You spill lew in feeding.

First Probably never before has such unity been evidenced on a major foreign policy decision as' between a congress of one politi cal party and the President of another, when within a week the precedent-breaking resolution sailec through both , House and Senate with only three opposing votes in each house. Second The adoption of the re solution has ended the period of « bluff on the part of our country toward Red China and cut the Gordian knot which has stymied our Asian policy. Third The President now has safely tucked away a pre-dated declaration of war which he may use as he sees fit against Red China, and which the Congress in an unparalleled expression of faith left up to the President’s personal decision to use and, Fourth, from a political stand point the President forestalled any criticism which could come from the Democrats yet he should de cide in his own mind the necessity of commiting United States troops either to the defense of off-shore Chinese Islands now held by the Chinese nationalists, or even an attack upon the mainland of China. , This latter consideration may have a tremendous impact on the i l tI.I I 4 , L 4 I 1 J| THURSDAY MARCH 3, 1955 1956 election, for it will be re membered" the criticism levelled at President Truman for not con sulting Congress before- commit! ng— U. S. forces in the Korean war probably cost the Democrats the 1952 election. Republicans have called -it Truman’s war, and have declared 1 the -former President overstepped his consitutional au thority when he so committed our troops to the Korean war without advise or consent of official Con , gressional action. However in his message to the Congress accompanying the Reso lution of approval, President Ei senhower took some of the sting out of this criticism of President Truman when he pointed to the prompt action of President Tru-r man as necessary, and reiterated the Truman statement that the Seventh fleet was ordered to pro tect Formosa. There is no- doubt but that the resolution adopted by the Congress is- all-inclusive and will permit the President on his own decision, to commit the Air Force, the Navy and the Army to the defense of Formosa and -to even attack the China mainland under the clause which reads, “Unhappily the dan ger of armed attack directed’ against this area compels us to , ■ take into account closely related i localities and actions, which] an • der current conditions, might de- , r termine the failure or the success ; of’ such an attack.
