CROSSNORE ASKS AID

To the Editor:
Maybe your vacation has just be-
gun, but Crossnore's is almost over.
Our public school opens August y,
and our boarding pupils will come in
on August z. The teachers and house
mothers will come ahead to prepare,
and what day that "home coming"
will be-physical examinations, get
ting settled in dormitories, finding old
friends, making new Ones getting in
to the harness of regular jobs to carry
on the kitchen whose task will sud
denly become many times more diff
cult.
This years "home coming" will be
a great one for little boys and little
girls with their new buildings, and we
can hardly wait for the middle sized
girls to see the renovation of the in
terror of the home they will have all
to themselves. But the middle sized
boys will feel no such joy; true, they
will now have the whole building to
themselves, but it remains an old
shop converted into dOrmitOry and
a dreary, uncomfortable place for
human beings to live in. How eager
ly they and we look forward to the
day when some generous heart will
enable us to erect a new big boys
dormitory so that the middle sized
boys can have the present one, and
their old shack can be torn down.
But we still say homecoming day is
a great one. Still over it hangs the
pail of unpaid grocery bills. Will the
grocery men sell US food when their
bills are already so big and long
standing? Surely we must reduce
them, eradicate them if possible, and
that's why we are sending out this
SOS.
The bill is $1853.35. Will you help
us clear it off? $1.OO-$2OO- $500
$1,000 $50.O0-Will you answer our
call.

July 8, 1115-Peter the Hermit,
French monk, died in Belgium in a
monastery he had established in full
fillment of a vow made when he es-
capped with his life in a shipwreck.
Peter was the great preacher of the
CrusadeS, and on one he personally
led, 300 900 Christians were lost-not
in the struggle with the Turks for
the Holy Land but in battles with 9TH
err Christians along the route to Pa
lestine!
Nevertheless, Peter played a tre-
mendous role in history, for the Cru
sades he stirred up were the first stir
ring of the common people in Euro
pean history-the birth of democracy.
July 8, 1797-United States Senate
expelled William H. Blount, SO, sena-

July 8, 1S89-What was to become

to it as an example of the perfect fight

war veteran. relived the hours of hor-
ror he experienced on another Fourth

SUFFRAGE FOR D. c.
URGED BY MARVIN
G. w. President Addresses
Association of Oldest
Inhabitants.

Citizens of Washington should have
the right of suffrage and the full
rights of citizenship, Dr. Cloyd Heck
Marvin, president of George Wash
ington University told the Association
of Oldest Inhabitants today.
DR. Marvin was the principal
speaker at the Independence day
ceremonies of the association in Old
Union Engine House.
righteous citizenship is the know
ing of right and wrong in public life y
he declared. 1T is the recognition OF
right and wrong in the relations OF
the individual life to the life Of the
state. This day recalls us all to
righteous citizenship that lays its
commands of duty upon each one of
us as we assume our places of trust
and responsibility, however humble
they may be.
Days of Getting BY" Past.
TOO often We shrink from contact
with politics lest We become entangled
to the hurt of o,lr private interests
The days of so getting by are past
We have gone too far on the social road
Public Office is public trust, but now
that Government and business are i'm
mediate partners there is no private
Office which does not involve its public
duties and responsibilities.
ITO be aloof, to say there Is nothing
in it for me, is the common voice of
that blighting e-mindedness
which is the dry rot Of society and
of the political communities. 1t
means selfshness and narrowness and
stagnation. It means the commit
ment of political affairs to the hands
or ignorance and corruption.
"If we lose our constitutional rights.
as they have been lost in Germany and
Italy; if we become a communistic
state as Russia and Spain, it will be
because you and I have been willing
to give up our righteous citizenship
because We were lazy or ignorant or
worse yet, because we tried to save
our holdings by being criminally aloof
from making the necessary sacrifices
10 give Tor our rights.
"Should Have Citizenship"
There is no reason why our own
people should not have and exercise
the full rights of citizenship"
The association opened its 1nde-
pendence day ceremonies with a meet
ing for transaction of the monthly
business of the organization.
Features of the patriotic exercises
included reading Of the Declaration
of Independence by John B. Dickman
solos by Frank K. Sanderson and ar
original poem by John Clagett Proctor

Afldavits duplicating two police

The af1davits were obtained by

evidence is not strong enough to sup
port criminal prosecution against the
officers involved, but warrants dis.
