FORESTRY WORKERS

From the main office in Washing

OF the forest service, which is working

which states that the committee as a

week for the next ten weeks in order
that the forestry regiments for whom
the committee Is working particularly
may be properly outfitted. This
means, according 10 local members,
that the committee must speed up.

with wool through the NisB0ula office.

prospects are bright and in the future
il Is desired that the chairman of the

be no unnecessary delay in getting the
wool into the hands when it Is re-

In my opinion, the biggest local ques'
ton before the people of North Carolina
this year is the Six Months School Term
Amendment of the Constitution, which is
to be voted on at the general election, on
November 5th, next. This is a simple, yet
urgent matter. 1t simply means changing
the state constitution to provide six
months school term for all the people
instead of the four months term as now
provided: 1t has nothing to do with the
present compulsory school term. Neither
is this political question; as both politi-
cal parties in the state have endorsed the
proposed amendment.
Here is an opportunity for every voter
to justify his right of franchise, and to
render his country real service. We
hope Richmond County will give this
amendment an unanimous vote.

Not only is it necessary, in order that
the individual may get the most out of
life, that he be educated, but where the
responsibility of the government rests
upon the individual voter, our national
safety demands the highest standard oil
education possible. 1t does not take an
educator to know that our present school
term is far too short to meet the needs
of our children and l should feel very
sorry indeed to find after the election that
any faction of Richmond County had
failed to support this amendment.
