She now has on hand 1,000 Christmas Seals for sale at one cent each. This work is carried on in our State every year to help with the prevention of T. B. GREATER REDPOLL AND HORNED LARK SEEN IN COUNTY (By Claude Smith.) Alleghany’s bird population now numbers 201, with the identification •of the Greater Redpoll and Horned Lark. On November 4, a small flock of 12 strange birds were seen on a hill top near W. R. Jones’ home; these birds proved to be Greater Redpolls. * This bird breeds in the Arctic Regions and comes to the United States only casually. It usually ventures no far ther south than the northern states. The bird is grayish brown, with a crimson swash on head, neck, and . lev^er back, and is 5 1-2 inches long. ^ These birds have habits similar to the sparrows. On November 8, 1933, near Scott ville, as I was walking thru a pasture field, a large flock of birds flew up. I was quite near them, and noted the | color, maimer of flight, and other marked characteristics. Before I had completely traversed the field, three more flocks of the same bird arose. As near as I could estimate the num ber there were 325 in all. I identified these birds as Homed Larks. These birds make their summer home in Greenland and Labrador, and in win ter great flocks come down the At lantic seaboard and scatter out in smaller bands as far south as North Carolina. Their song is not heard only in the far north. This bird is pinkish gray and dull brown in plumage, has white outer tail feathers, a few erect feathers on the head, (giving it its name,) and is 7 3-4 inches long. I have never heard of either of these birds being- seen in N. C., but they probably have been. Notice—I will make round trips to Winston-Salem every Thursday.

Secrtary lekes Stresses Need For Universal Education (Continued From Page One) will deny that the value of the people to the nation is vastly greater than it was a century ago. This increased value is due to the fact that they have become more universally intel ligent as the result of education. Of the three factors In the production of material wealth, namely, natural re sources, native ability of the people and education, education is the only one that varies to any considerable extent. And it should be borne in mind that education can vary in either di rection. If our production and accu mulation of material wealth is great er in the degree that our education is more universal and of higher quali ty it goes without saying that with a falling off in education our material prosperity would diminish correspond ingly. We accumulate wealth; we can pass on to each succeeding generation tan gible property in any form. We can even to some extent transmit native ability. But we cannot bequeath an education to our children. The most we can do is to provide them with the means for an education. Every babe that is born into the world is as ignorant as its most remote ancestor. It can neither write nor read. It has only rudimentary mental processes. It merely has reactions and responses to external stimuli. If abandoned to its own fate on an uninhabitated is land, if it survived at all, it would grow up to be a totally Illiterate man and an ignorant one, except as it might learn certain facts of life from its environment .and from its experi ence. Since it is necessary to recreate in each generation those processes of educa tion which the preceding gen eration enjoyed, we must continue to provide schools and teachers and all the essential tools that go to furnish and equip the mind. We have been made sadly aware during these last few years of the ne cessity of economy. With our private incomes sharply diminished, with our means of livelihood cut off, with less pay forthcoming for the same amount of work, we have had to pinch and scrimp to make both ends meet. If this condition has been true in our private affairs, it has also been true as to those common enterprises which we maintain by the taxes that we pay to government. Our schools have suffered along with everything else. Hundreds of thousands of children are either being denied educational op portunities entirely or they are abel to attend school only on a part-time basis. Thousands of schools have been closed. Equipment has been deterior ating and replacements of essential tools for education have been lacking. I do not deny that of necessity some economics must be made in our schools. But we are going too far in that direction. Our schools ought to be the last to feel the pinch of econo my, just as they ought first to ex perience the return of prosperity. Un doubtedly the educational tree needs some pruning. There may be some dead and decayed branches that ought to be cut off. But if such pruning is necessary it should be done scientifi cally, by experts. It serves no good purpose of economy and it is im mensely damaging to our educational system to slash into a budget re gardless of whether we are cutting into a vital spot or not. Even in these days of tremendously pressing problems, to my mind the most important question of all is, what are we going to do about our schools ? That education should be universal goes without saying. By education I mean more than the three R’s. I believe that every child should be given all the eduaction that he can reasonably absorb. This does not mean that all children should spend an equal number of years in school or that all should take the same courses. It means that everyone in A. Carolina Boys’ Coaches Judged and Shown at Fair f 7 rr rsar-as I 1 ———• * GUILD OFFICIALS SCORING ENTRIES FOR SCHOLARSHIPS CHICAGO—Four N. Carolina boys —Marcus B. Andrews, of Mt. Gilead, Edward A. Brown, of Asheville, W. R. Mann, of Whitakers, and Harold Nussman, of Salisbury—have Fisher Body Craftsman’s Guild coaches in the display of 200 colorful little models which is attracting hundreds of spec tators to the General Motors Building at the Fair here. While the models are on display, they are also being scored by this group of Guild judges, as a basis for presentation of the six scholar ships which arethe international awards. At the conclusion of the judgin", Andrews and Brown, the first-place winners for North Carolina in their respective age groups, will spen t fo c days in Chicago as guests cf the Guil ’, seeing the sights at the Fair and att ;u ing the annual award dinner at which the winners of this year’s scholarships will be announced. The dinner program will be broadcast over the Cplur. hia network, each scholarship winner t o n ; on the air for a moment to greet the folks at home. ' A Year for Real Thanks IF there ever was a year when we should utter devout thanks givings, it is this year when we are emerging from the shadow of the valley of depression, and it looks as if everyone will soon have a job again, and everyone will therefore eat. And, speaking of eating, there is no better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than with a bang-up dinner that will make you feel fit to pop. Whatever have been your experi ences since that fatal fall of 1929 which seemed also the fall of everything else, this is one day in the year when everyone can devote his or her whole time to eating, so we are going to suggest a dinner to fit the occasion. Never mind the decorations this year, if you’re still short of funds, but put all your money into food.

To make the orange cases, four oranges are required. Remove all the pulp from the cases, and keep them in ice water until needed. Hallowed out red or yellow apples can be used instead. After the fruit is arranged, pour over the chilled syrups from the cans of grapefruit and peaches, mixed with one tablespoon of fresh lime juice and one tablespoon of honey. Serves eight. Decorative and Delicious Cream of Carrot Soup: Make a white sauce of four tablespoons butter, four tablespoons flour, three cups milk and two cups of strained home-made or canned chicken broth.

Add one-half cup cream, and^ season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serves ot ‘ order to have the best chance possi- i blefora happy and full life should have every bit of education that he is capable of receiving and of using to advantage. He should have this not only for his own sake but for the good of the whole. The intelligence of a nation is the sum of the intelligence of all of its citizens. Intelligence is the pro duct of education and education is the greatest national asset that we have. No nation in these times can hope to survive, to say nothing of progress ing in the arts and the sciences, in commerce, in trade, or in industry, unless it is composed of a well educa ted citizenry. Least of all can a dem ocracy, depending, as it must depend, upon an informed public opinion for the selection of its leaders and the framing of its laws hope long to en dure unless it consists of a highly and universally educated eelctorate. The individual American must be educated not only that he may be able to enjoy a happier and fuller life; he must be educated in order that, in cooperation with other edu cated Americans, he may do his part toward sustaining, and upbuilding an intelligent and beneficent and capable government.
