Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1919-06-20

Last week The Recorder made a
brief reference to the campaign now
in progress throughout Virginia to
raise $4,000 for the Children's
Home Society of Virginia. At the
same time the announcement was
made that the editor of this newspa-
per had accepted the Craftsmanship
for Highland county. This is the
first time The Recorder has taken the
lead in any campaign, always here
tofore following other leaders and
giving freely of our space to farther
the several campaigns, and we feel
sure that the people are going to
help in this worthy movement. Think
of it, the quota is only $3.50. This
amount could be raised before break
fast some fine morning if the COM
mittees get out and work.
The editor will not have time to go
outside of his home town and natur-
ally will have to rely on those whom
he has appointed. In all good works.
the ministers are tower Of strength
and we want especially to appeal to
them to help raise this small sum of
money. The chairman will appre-
ciate it if all of the preachers will
bring this matter before their con-
gregations the coming Sunday and
take up a collection. Each magisterial
district will have to raise only $3.50
to put the county over the top. There
are individuals in each district who
could give the full amount without
making sacrifice.
Let us say briefly that there are
10000 orphan children in Virginia
at this time, many of them in desti-
tute circumstances, who are seeking
shelter. The world war and the
spread of influenza are responsible
for so many helpless children, and it
behooves the good people of the State
in comfortable circumstances to bear
the burdens of the helpless ones. AS
the people of Highland have never
failed in any of these campaigns, The
Recorder is sure they will not fail in
this, since the quota is in easy reach.
Who is unwilling to help the little
children who are orphans and cannot
help themselves. The Children's
Home Society takes care of them and
sees to it that they are properly
reared.
Give your contributions to any of
the workers named last week or send
direct to the Recorder. Acknow-
dgement will be made through these
columns of all contributions of soc
and more. Bear in mind that no one
will have to give large sum to make
up the quota, though there will have
to be a general response. Let all the
people help the editor in this noble
undertaking. 1t is a fine opportuni-
ty to give cup of cold water in His
name.

Elm Handsome and Historic.

There Is no tree In the United
States probably which IS more popu-

reason for this, for 1t Is extremely
graceful and beautiful, says the Amer

too. It was under an elm, for in
stance, az every school boy will re-
call, that Washington took command
of The American army at Cambridge.
Few trees In the United States have a
wider distribution than the elm. One
striking form Of the elm has a vase
shaped top.

Editorial Suggestions

IL grave responsibilities confront
us III this generation, greater and
more urgent questions must be solv-
ed by the next. The future of the
country is to be in the hands of our
children.
The late Theodore Roosevelt said,
in one of his addresses, MEN of Anne
RIGA, conserve your natural resour-
ces; your forestry, water courses
and mineral lands, but do not for
get the children"
A semi abandoned child having
been rescued, became the greatest
law-giver among men. Everyone
knows the story of the child born in
Il log-cabin, who eventually occupied
the White House and assisted in lay
.ns the foundation for a world-demo
cracy. The late Grover Cleveland
5 a lad, drove mule hitched to a
tow-boat. We have recently read
that David Lloyd-George, who as a
.cmi-orphan was taken int o a home
and given an opportunity in life. The
most valuable crop to be gathered
this year will be our children.
There is matter which is being
brought to the attention of the peo-
pie Of Virginia second in importance
o no other appeal that has been pre-
sented heretofore which is the saving
f Virginia's more than ten thous-
and helpless and innocent little
children. The bringing of this mat
ter to the attention of the people o.
Virginia is due to two facts, viz:
First, 1t is the busiess of this state
to save her own little children
Second, That these children Will
either be saved into the homes of
good people to be cared for, or even
tually gathered into our jails, pene-
tentiaries or insane asylums.
For eighteen years the Children's
Home Society of Virginia has been
struggling under a constant debt and
overwhelming appeals but not until
the war and the subsequent influenza
epidemic broke out, leaving in their
wake hundreds of these little ones,
was this Society aroused to ask Viz
ginia to meet the obligations that
rightfully are hers. The Society
needs to offer no apology, even in the
face of all other drives that have
been put on, for coming before the
people at this time and pleading for
their help. 1t is the duty Of every
citizen in the state, and it should be
considered privilege to assist in
this most worthy undertaking. Sym
pathy and tears are good, but at this
time money is needed and in this
statewide campaign funds with
which to erect a suitable building to
house these children are being soiic-
tied, and it is hoped that-the people
will feel this obligation and give
double the amount asked for.
This Society has gathered up, aid
ed and homed more than $500 chill
dren. They still own as their legal
wards between LOO and 1900 chill
dren. All of our children's institu-
lions in the state are crowded to oy-
erflowing, and yet in the face of
these conditions, there are still 10,
600 little ones yet uncared for. In
Gods name and for humanity's sake
let the people respond now. The
headquarters of this special effort is
located at 80 N. Seventh Street,
Richmond, Va. Rev. c. E. Peasants
is the General Chairman,
