Quill Pens

Many young men and women
who think they can write and who
would like to write, put off real
work because they dislike the
manual toll that writing demands.
Even the most modern and smooth
running typewriter becomes a
wearisome machine. Pushing a
pencil or a pen is even more tire
some. Few can dictate as well as
they can write, even If they can
afford the luxury of q secretary.
What Is needed, in the face of such
trifing discouragements, is more
downright energy and less laziness.
Remember that Charles Dickens
once wrote whole book with
single quill pen. But Dickens did
not suffer from the commonest
complaint Of the young person

son, in the Mobile Register.

INTIMACY WILL BRING FAITH

FOLLOWING plans for five
year campaign to achieve unity
under the title of Awakening OF
Washington Week, the Washing
ton Press Association and the
State Chamber of Commerce will
observe the beginning of the fourth
week with a one-day, statewide
program, Monday, February 18.
Faith" has been selected for this
years theme.
George Washington one said,
"Be courteous to all, but intimate
with few; and let those few be well
tried before you give them your
confidence"
1t is particularly fitting that
such quotation should be studied
during Awakening of Washington
Week, since George Washington's
birthday occurs during the week,
and this quotation is especially ap-
propriate in the celebration of this
years theme, Faith"
Faith in the community can be
classed with intimacy. 1t is well
be intimate with ones community
but not to the exclusion of all.
Washington advised courtesy to
the multitude as well, which can
he applied in this simile to the
communities of the State of Wash
ington. There should be court
eousness, friendliness and spirit of |
brotherhood between individuals in
localities.
That everyone might work with |
everyone else instead of against |
each other, to make Washington |
a happier and more prosperous
place in which to live, Awakening
of Washington Week was estab-
lished four years ago. Since then
tangible results of its success are
to be found on every hand, but the
work is not yet complete; there is
still much to accomplish.
1t therefore befalls as duty to
every citizen to do his part to
make this Awakening of Washing
ton Week a success and to pre-
serve the spirit it creates turnout
this year and the years to come.
