A GOOD SUGGESTION

3 In the March issue of .'The Circuit Rider, an
interesting little publication issued monthly in
the interest Of the Jefferson Charge of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, by the pastor,
Rev. G. R. Stafford, many timely and pertinent
observations are made relative to public agen-
cies in Ashe county,
AS has been previously started, The Post is
thoroughly n@accord with the splendid state
ments and suggestions made in this particular
article and is taking the liberty of re-printing
it at this time.
s'The people in Ashe County are being served
by several public agencies that have great deal
to do with the welfare of our citizens. Some of
these, such as the public school system, have
been with US a number of years and have fully
demonstrated their value They have received
a deserved support from the citizens. Other
agencies such as the Farm Demonstration work,
headed now by Mr.. c. j. Rich, and the health
work. under the leadership of Miss Pearl Weav-
er, have been inaugurated recently that their
value is not yet apparent to everybody.
"Something has been said heretofore in these
pages about the Farm Demonstration Work
Farmers over the County are rapidly becoming
gram alone has brought many thousands OF dol
lars into the county. Everyone has benefited.
The Commissioners did well to provide a few
hundred dollars out of county funds that, Incl
dentally these thousands of dollars might be
brought in This does not take into account
numerous other values of which there are many.
s'The Commissioners would do WELL likewise,
to provide for the work of the County Nurse. 1t
is also very, very important. 1t is type OF
work on which it is not possible to show the re-
turns so easily, however. The returns are, new
ertheless, real and inspiring. Cripples are being
made to walk, the blind are being made to see,
great plaques of disease are being controlled
scientifically, babies are being born under more
favorable circumstances, and pre-school and
school children are being innoculated against
dread disease. Citizens who see the value OF
this work want to see it go on. But it cannot go
on beyond June 80 unless the County Commits
sioners, appropriate some money for the work
the next fiscal year. At present Miss Weaver is.
on demonstration for the State and Federal
Governments showing what can be done. Not a
cent is appropriated for her support by the
county The State and Federal governments
will not continue their support unless the coun-
ty does something for itself In addition to the
work of the Nurse, the amount mentioned above
will enable the county to have health unit al
so. This would mean that State clinics and many
other services would be brought to the county.
Do you want such work to go on? Do you want
Health Unit? If so, make your wishes known
to the County Commissioners soon, before next
years budget is made up"

However, she has been very good friend to me, whether her uncle suggested it or not. Whatever social success I've had here in Green Hills, I owe to her. She launched me, so to speak. It's helped me to many good contract in business, too. She's really fine girl, Joan. I know you'll like her when you know her better"
 of course"
 Nevertheless, Joan felt that she could never feel a genuine friend ship for Sybil Hendry. She felt strangely apprehensive, too, about the tea on Wednesday, although she did not know why. Neither did she know that she was going to look back on that afternoon forever and realize that Sybils tea marked the beginning of all her unhappiness.

CHAPTER VII

Later, they discussed 1t over a late luncheon at the Green Hills Inn. They had driven out from town together in order that Bob might pack his things and be ready to leave for the airport at six.
 Seated side by side, at corner Eable in the small dining room, they Fingered over their coffee. Beyond their table logs burned brightly in an open fireplace, and the air was filled with the sweet odor of pine.
 Just when we had everything practically settled" Bob said gloomily, "this had to come up. l had no idea he would ask me to go Usually he looks into all new prop critics himself"
 "You couldn't let him down, dear" Joan answered reassuringly. rHe has had a bad cold, l think, too, that he's getting rather old for these exhausting jaunts into the mountains. He needs capable as- sistant. Have you thought what & tremendous tribute he's paying to your judgment by letting you go in his place.
 T did, naturally" Bob admitted, brightening. Its a big responsi- bility, and I'm pleased that he trusts me with it."
 Joan looked up at him proudly TThere,s none in the organization In whom he has more faith" she said staunchly. Hes building you ''up to something bigger than sales manager, Bob"
 He patted her hand tenderly. "Thanks, sweetheart. l hope can | fit the job. I'd hate to fail him, ieveg."

DETERMINED to possess an D au-Polish seaport, the Polish government in 1924 turned to the splendid natural site at the small fishing village of Gdynia. Until then most of the country's sea trade passed through Danzig.
 So basins were excavated and wharves constructed at Gdynia. In a short time the population leaped and trade leaped with it. Today the city is one of the great est. busiest ports on the Baltic. Its population is 100000, It was 500.
 Vessels of 40 lines make Gdynia port of regular call today, link ing it with at least l20 American and European ports. Out of the port Poland poured upwards of 100000 tons of exports in the last year. chiefly coal, timber, beet sugar, grains and eggs. And the port is a seaside resort as well. attracting l5,000 vacationists last summer.
 Almost entirely of new con- struction, Gdynia has become Poland's modern metropolis. And shortly big guns to be erected on the white sand dunes of Hel Pen- insula will make the port the

EDITORIAL

Mysterious packages are be
ginning to arrive IN the mail,
and we punch and squeeze and
shake, usually without getting
an idea of what is inside. We
are busy wrapping our gifts to
others in gay paper and tying
them with ribbons and faSten-
ing them with seals that seem
lOVlier than ever.
We are awfully busy at this
season of the year. We give
parties and go to them, OR
regular business is more press
ing, at home there is more of a
hustle in the kitchen and more
excitement in the air.
But there are homes in Big
Horn county where the atnlos-
phere of happy anticipation is
sadly missing, and in our own
hustle We are apt to forget that
there will be those in our rel
ghborhood who won't have any
Christmas unless we do some
thing about. it. And the time
to begin doing something is now.
May we add this purely per-
sonal plea? If there r boys
and girls in the family that
you are going to do something
for this year.. spend an extra
dime or quarter for something
impractical, but gay and Christ
masy-something that may help
at least some members of the
family to forget the need to be
intensly practical and careful
for this one day in the year.
