Matthew 11:28. YOUTH However much we" may wish to, we cannot put old heads on young shoulders. Doubtless, it is very for tunate for the progress of the hu man race that we cannot. There would be little progress without that splendidly brave and. adventurous spirit that is found only in youth. To curb that fearless spirit would be to block progress. . No old. person would ever have been so foolish as. to attempt to fly the Atlantic,' or to fly at all for that matter. U Lipdberg had failed of his admittedly great achievement he would have been, in the eyes of older persons, only one more foolish boy,. Youth dares and dares splen didly, and . sometimes wins. Age plays safe whenever it can, and eventually loses. But the agony that Age endures in watching the more than foolish chances that Youth takes! Some body once said "Give me the young man who has brains enough to make a fool of himself." Well, it does seem that most of them have enough. And sometimes it seems that the young folks who have the best minds can take the most foolish chances. A case in point is that of the five young people who set forth on a sailing party from Hertford one night last week. If you searched the country over you probably couldn't find five more splendid young people. Level-headed, clear thinking, fine, upstanding young folks. Every one of the party, tak en separately and individually, ans wers to- that -description. if you went out to pick the best of .. the youth of Hertford these young folks would certainly be picked among the very first. And yet these youngsters set forth on a dark night, without lights, in a leaking boat, to have a pleasure trip. That they did not come to grief, only receiving a ducking, probably was due to the cool-headedness of all concerned, which speaks eloquently in their favor. Youngsters take these foolish risks every day. They never do see dan ger. Fortunately, the older folks don't know about the dangerous short cuts, the hair-raising stunts, the breath-taking chances, that the young folks take in the run of the day. If they did there would be more cf the old folks to die of heart failure than there are young folks to die of foolhardiness. Isaac Lane Buried At Bagley Swamp Funeral services for Isaac Lane were held from the home in the Bag ley Swamp Community at 2:30 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, with the Rev. Ray Smith officiating. Burial took place in the family burying ground. Mr. Lane, who was 70 years of age, a native and life-long resident of Perquimans, died at 4 o'clock on Tuesday morning following a long period of ill health. He was a man of splendid character, honored by all who knew him. Surviving are four sons, John Lane, Allan Lane, and Carey Lane, all of Perquimans County) and 'Els bury Lane, of Virginia. Three1 broth ers also survive. They are: Albert Lane, Joe Lane and Loan Lane, all of Perquimans.

Reconstructing ; .

With title to approx imately one-third of the old de fenses already obtained, it is ex pected that the park will eventual ly be extended to include the entire system. The work being carried on con sists of clearing the underbrush from the earthworks, building roads to make them accessible and reconstructing embankments where necessary. Very little" reconstruc tion has had to be done because the fortifications have been pre served under a protecting blanket of vegetation. Visitors find it diffi cult to believe that tall pines cover ing some of the embankments have grown up since the war. The attempts of the federals to penetrate this powerful defense re sulted in some of the most import ant battles of the war. Relics of these' conflicts are being assembled in a park museum which also houses a library and trained his- In the leconetraetlaa of Fort Bake, link in the system of earthworks encircling Richmond, concrete "sand bags" are used. The Ford V-8 truck gives some idea of the site of this embankment torians to supply data to visitors. One of the most prized relics is a large valve from one of the ob servation balloons used by Prof. T. S. C. Lowe, chief of aeronautics for the Union Army, and his staff which included young Count Ferdi nand von Zeppelin, who lived to see his own invention, the Zeppe lin dirigible airship, used in the World War. Though 71 years have elapsed sine? the fortifications were used, powder removed from explosive type shells uncovered by the re construction work is found to be just as active as fresh powder.
