AMATEUR PHOTOS
Of STATE SOUGHT
Conservation Department
Offering Prizes for Best
Snapshots

Raleigh, Aug. 17.-Amateur camera
men of North Carolina were going
through old negative files this week
to find those prize shots they made
in recent months to enter them in
the $500 photography contest sponsor
ed by the Department of Conserva-
ton and Development.
More than one confessedly "lucky
shot" has already been entered in
the contest in the SIX classifications
in each of which prizes are to be
given. Pictures of North Car olina' S
infinitely varied scenery lead the list
Of entries-mountains, sandhills and
heach-but historical and industrial
pictures are also being submitted. The
department called attention of fans
to one category so far neglected by
The fans-hunting and fishing pic
lures. These are not only scarce, but
vivid action. photographs are espe-
cially desired for the current adver-
Using campaign. Camera amateurs
were advised that there was less COM
petition and more chances for prizes
N this division than perhaps any
other
Agricultural pictures also offer a
good field for the picture-taker. Any
rural or pastoral scene can qualify
cows in pasture, plenteous barns,
farmyard scenes, cultivation, harvest
ing, farm recreation: any phase of
agricultural life in North Carolina
suggests possibilities to the magma
tive cameraman.
Unusual angle shots predominant
the industrial pictures, it was announc
ed. Industrial pictures not only may
include machinery and operations, but
also attractive pictures of factories,
.airplane views of plants, and indus
trial activity generally. So far, indus
trial pictures have overlooked the pos
sibilities in mining operations.
The Department suggests that pic
lures in the recreational field could
include everything from a ping-pong
game to camping party. Glamorous
pictures of mixers, canOeists, aqua
planners, yachtsmen, swimmers, divers,
are all highly eligible in the contest.
Pictures may either re sent to the
several newspapers which are coop
Grating in the contest, or may be sent
directly to the Advertising Commit
tee, Department of Conservation and
Development, in Raleigh.

The biddies were five days old
when the mother hen died, and
the rooster himself tipped the
scales at one pound when he took
the little flock i'm charge. But he
has been faithful to the tiny
brood, scratching worms for them
during the day time and lowering
them under his wings at night.
During the period of his mother

ly ras begun again to crow quite
"mannishly" i'm between times.

A NECESSITY

Rural voters throughout the coun-
try next Tuesday will be given their
constitutional right to go To tie polls
and vote for the men and policies
which will govern their local pre-
,invtS. Will these voters turn out
in large or few numbers? Too many
times they turn out in few numbers
and thus with the neglect of this
important duty gees the conduct or
that government to those who make
it a point to vote. Many times the
few will choose the right course 10
follow but too many times they choose
the way which leads TO privileges for
the few.
one. casually. may think that a
township election does not carry with
it much responsibility, but this atti-
tude has no good foundation TO stand
upon. for it is seen that good govern
n,ent must begin at home. III we do
not choose wisely at home how can
we efficiently keep control of the
larger branch of our government?
Anyway, federal and state under
takings are many times handed down
to local boards and we must be pre-
pared to handle them from home and
keep home rule in the ascendency and
keep it efficient.
There would be much wailing if the
right to vote and the right to choose
our local governmental bodies were
taken away, and we will venture the
opinion that the ones who were the
most careless about taking part in Il at
vote would wall the loudest. Voting
should be as important to us as our
home chores, for without good local
government, the first weapon toward
bringing better government and
conditions for all will have been lost

DEFENDS EDUCATION
. ASkOy American:

Editor Askov American:
Like Mr.. Mosbak | do not know VINO
.Gratino is, but nevertheless | cannot
resist taking sides with him. School
is not a dead end to youth. If that
ever becomes true then indeed Is our
civilization on the rocks. 1t Is much
too broad a statement. Granted that
there are many unnecessary and
seemingly foolish requirements in our
school sySetm, and | also grant there
are many teachers who are not nor
NAL as Mr.. Mosbak ably puts it. but
| maintain that the advantages de-
rived from a good education far out
weigh the evils thereof. There Is
proof of that statement all around us
Mr.. MoSbak states that there are nc
graduates of the AskOv schools who
have turned out to be famous or great
leaders in our country. That may be
true, but how many have turned out
to be criminals?
do agree with Mr.. MOsbak that 1t
might be we'll to look into the selec-
ton of members of school boards and
the wise selection of sensible, capable
teachers-but why has it not been
done? Do not the people have a
voice in the matter?
Crime statistics prove that very
large per cent of our worst criminals
are men and women with very little
or no schooling. What would happen
to the farmers if all the children. say
from the age Of twelve, were turned
loose on the farms? | fear the result
would be similar to the story of the
Pied Piper of Hamlin. l realize
boy would be better off on farm
than in nigh school, but it would not
be fair to deny a large number for
the sake of a few.
The case mentioned of the seven
children in one family all holding re-
sponsible positions in the world, is an
example of the benefits of an educa-
ton. Where would they be if they
had dropped school in the fifth grade?
In the breadline-Or some alphabeti-
cal government charity.
Perhaps there are no Askov college
graduates who have returned to take
part in the life of the home cOmmun-
ity-but there are many from other
communities who have come here and
are taking an important part in the
development and promotion of the
welfare of this community. So if the
AskOv people are not getting their
own moneys worth, they are getting
some one else's.
If our boys and girls fail to find a
job, a home. and their rightful place
in the world, upon their graduation
don't blame the educational SYSTEM
blame the economic system.
EDUCATUS.
