THE MAGIC CURRENT

One is reminded by experiences through which
some of our neighboring cities have been passing
that the electric switch comes near being the
magic key to present mechanical civilization
Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, and
surrounding communities could eloquently testify
to the vital needs which electric current fills IN the
modern order of life.
They went without it a day, due to the pho
nomenal glaze that the weather pitched over them,
breaking down the transmission lines telling trees
and otherwise creating damage that is estimated
to run into the hundreds of thousands.
Without electricity!
People walking to the top floors of tall buildings
because elevators were idle; newspaper plants ST.
lent because the dynamos were inactive.
Factories standing still for lack of power; kitch-
ems wi1k n-produetive stoves, and over the vast
tcreatieuso f modern device and convenience Of
hyingx& ~ of silence falling because no current

CHILDREN'S RIGHTS,-AND
PARENTS

Mrs. Green puts the children
first in everything, she says or
does. They go away for long sum-
mer vacations, leaving their fa-
Their alone in the hot city. They
must be helped with their home
work. and then entertained, each
evening; so Mr.. and Mrs. Green
| have very little social life outside
the home. The children must al
ways be listened to at table; as Il
result, table talk at the Greens is
concerned chiefly with trifl,ng in
cidents from the school room or
play ground.
The Brown household is run on
quite a different plan. Mr.. Brown
works hard all year. and needs a
change when summer comes. So
the children are left at home with
a servant or relative, while their
parents "step OUT for two weeks
at an expensive resort. Mr.. Brown
has an exhausting Gay at the of
flee; so in the evenings the chill
dren shift for themselves while
father and mother take in the
movies. Mr.. Brown doesn't get
much chance to talk, at the Of
flee; so the children keep quiet
at the dinner table. while he de-
livers the wealth of thought that
has been accommodating within
him all day long.
Children's rights-or parents.
Why not have both?
Parents who sacrifice all out
side contacts do not really benefit
their children. Instead, they de-
fraud them of wol thwhile adult
acquaintance. While parents
whose main thought is for them
selves miss the satisfaction that
comes from seeing their children
develop as they should.
In the home as elsewhere the
middle-of- the-road policy is best
A wise mother and father can so
arrange things as to conserve
children's rights = and parents
too.

mistakes as cannot be absolutely guarded
against in this or any other newspaper.
The news columns contain the bare rec
ords of facts and events or the views and
opinions of people. There is no reason for
going astray in the first place; and IN the
second place, if readers keep in mind
the character of the other contents OF the
news columns they cannot be misled.
For example, some man in public life
gives the newspaper an interview, stating
his opinions about certain matters. They
may not be the views Of this newspaper or
the views of some or all of its readers, but
in estimating the value of the statement
the fact must be kept in view that it is not
an expression of the papers views but OF
an outside person. Readers are to give it
such weight as they believe the opinions
of the citizen who gives the interview ale
entitled to.
However, the matter may be summed
up for the readers of The Times-NeWs by
saying that they know all the matter con-
tanned in this newspaper is live matter IL
contains telegraph news received up to
the hour of going to press each afternoons;
and all the other matter has value to read
ers. Many features and special articles
are the same as used by the largest news
papers in the United States; some of the
feature articles are found only in this
paper in this section OF the State.
1t was all of these things combined which
caused a reader in another States to say
that he derived more information and
pleasure from reading The Times-News
than from the daily paper printed in his
own city and a daily published in the CAPT
tai city of his State.

floor with left hand. keeping legs
as straight as possible.
Exercise No. 8. Stand erect,
extend arms straight out in front.
Raise arms, bringing hands to-
gether; hook thumbs together.
Holdings arms in this position,
keeping legs straight, lean back
wards as far as possible; then
with thumbs still hooked togeth-
err, with arms straight. legs
straight. lean forward, bending at
the waist and endeavor to touch
floor with tips Of fingers. Straight
en- up to original position.
Exercise No. 9. Stand erect,
hands on hips; hold upper part of
body straight; go down to squat
ting position and up again.
These exercises should not be
overdone. The number of times
thew should be done depends on
the physical condition. One may
not be able to do each exercise
more than a few times at first,
but the number should gradually
be increased at rate to suit the
physical condition until each ex-
ercise can be done 16 times with
the exception of No. 6, which
need not be done more than two
or three times.
These exercises will be Of little
value unless faithfully followed
every day; it may be necessary to
do them for several weeks before
good results are noticeable.

London (UP)-Britain's men, folk are discarding their garters.
 Instead, they are trusting to ''self-supporters," elastic bands. safety pins, sticking plaster, or just defying gravity to solve the problem of keeping up their socks.
 What is more, they have called forth a great wall from haberdash. CTS.
 Their news organ, Mems Wear, has some strong things to say on this subject.
 Some wholesalers and retailers are encouraging men to go garter less. The next logical step would be for shoe manufacturers to pro. duce mems shoes with type of lining that would make the wear ing of socks unnecessary. That would tend to destroy the hosiery business.
 Next, some enterprising man. ufacturer might produce a sandal that could replace the modern shoe"

TURKISH TOWNS
 GIVE AIRPLANES First to Go Into Sky to Signalize Era of Re-
 COnciliatiOn


 Istanbu1 (UP}-AWings for the : Turkish fatherland are being pro- vided in a unique manner. The non-Turk communities have de- cided to show their devotion 10 the Kemalist homeland by donating airplanes to the nations air force. An Armenian committee has been formed to collect subscrip- tions. The first Armenian-given airplane, which goes into the sky, will mark the difference between the Turkey of to-day and the Tur- key of the Armenian deportatious. 1t will be signal of the era of reconciliation.
 The Jews are another large nom Turkish community which has re- solved to help air defense in the same way. They think that this will assist in dissipating the Turk ish complaint that they are not properly assimiiated to Turkish culture and live a life apart, which was alleged as one of the causes of q recent anti-Semitic wave in Thrace. Another community to come in as airplane-providers are the Greeks of Istanbul.
 In this way the strength of the IurlxiBh air force has been brought up to about 300 and the material ss kept tip to date.
