financial security for farmers is the
chief aim of crop insurance, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics. A crop insurance
program would tend to reduce the
need for other forms of agricultur-
al relief, would help to stabilize
farm income and farm prices, and
would assist in providing reserves
for food for consumers in years of
short crops.

We, students of the High School

and to produce interest on the part

Development of School Spirit

The life of school is not COM
plete unless there exists an under
current of school spirit to balance
the daily grind of hard work. With
out diversion the latter would prob
ably form hard, dull surface, diff
ficult to penetrate in a student,
while underneath flows the desire
to break away from all educational
ties. Of course, education is nee
essary, but there should be GER
tain amount of competition, rival
ry, and spirit, to counteract that.
Sports, developed to a greater
extent, cause competition and gen
eral discussions among the stu
dents which 60 long way toward
making school more interesting for
them. Among the sports of great
est interest in our school are: girls
hockey, girls basketball, girls
soccer, boys touch football, boys
soccer, girls dodge ball, volley ball,
boys basketball, and track meet.
All Of these games greatly increase
and stimulate the power of com
petition. There are contests also;
spelling, singing, and theme con
tests, all of which take in study as
well as providing a form Of diver
sion.
AS a result Of this increased
school spirit feeling Of animation
prevails upon all the students de-
spite the competition, since the lat
ter is not carried into the time set
apart for concentration upon work.
School spirit is really a great as
set to the John Bassett Moore High
School.

water is above the level of the
highest building to which the water
must flow. Pumping stations pump
the water from the wells to stor-
ace tanks from which the town
gets its supply. Most towns and
cities have reservoirs or stand
mines in which the water is stored.
IF the reservoir is higher than the
highest building in the town, there
is no need for smaller pumping sta
tions to help force the water along
through the mains and into the
houses. The pressure in the water
and the fall of the water through
the pipes force the water along.
IF the reservoir is lower than the
highest buildings, smaller pumping
stations are employed.
There is an advantage in storing
the water in stand-pipes because
there is no need of pumping sta
tions and few foreign objects have
a chance to fall into the water as
thew do in reservoirs with such a
wide surface uncovered.
Thus you see that pressure is
necessary in fluids for water to
run up hill. That is, for water to
run from the pipes which are in
the ground up to the faucet.
Many commercial enterprises de-
pend upon pressure in fluids. For
instance, the cotton press, which is
a machine for bailing cotton. Other
commercial products which pres
sure in fluids make possible are
hydraulic brakes, pumps, presses,
elevators, and other industries in
which tremendous pressure is nee
essary.

Are You a Citizen?

Are you good citizen? Do you
obey the laws of your constitution
Or don't you know them? These
questions are being thought of
more and more by the younger
generation. Few of US have real
lied that to obey the laws we must
first know them.
This year the members of the
Clvics' classes are studying the
State Constitution. Under this
course we are taking up all the i'm
portant things which a good citizen
should know so that we may not
only become good citizens ourselv-
es, but further better citizenship
among others. If all the students
OF today will learn how to become
good citizens, our future govern
ment will be ideal.

Aeronautical Organization

There is not as much interest in
deronaut1cs as there should be
among the students of the John
Bassett Moore High School. Our
most fruitful years will be spent
In an era in which aeronautics will
play an important part of every
Gay life as automobiles do at the
present time. Now, an automobile
IS not called luxury, but a neces-
sity.
Aviation furnishes rapid trans
portation of passengers, mail, and
1relght. The large air transporta-
tlon companies are establishing
regular routes across the oceans
Ior passengers and mail. This wi
oened use of airplanes offers many
opportunities. There are Jobs of
aeslgning, constructing, and test
ing new planes and new types of
planes. Jobs are created for radio
operators, mechanics, statesmen;
Joos not only in transportation and
construction companies, but also in
factories which manufacture diff
ierent parts of airplanes such as
pisuonls, cylinders, valves and other
engine parts; propellors, hubs and
uiddes; and wing ribs and spars,
Drace wires; in short, everything
mat goes into the making of an
