Protests Treatment
OF Pensioners,

To the Editor Of The Star:
have read that the aged and blind
and children have been taken care of.

year, and haven't received my July l
check. Also, have read where our small
remittance would be reduced-in a coun-
try where millions are wasted.
Although the papers say that we have
been taken care Of, live in cellar. Also,
why does pensioner need a "case
worker? Tin soldiers" who never
smelled the smoke of battle have no case

Any one with common sense knows that

where we were cut to $2563. I have
borrowed all I can. So what next?

the use of brushes made of bristles
from infected animals.

Give Children Definite Place To Keep
Their BELONGINGS

Their Belongings
Habits of neatness and order can be
cultivated more easily in children if
they have definite place to keep their
belongings. Most growing children
have play and sports equipment for
both indoor and outdoor use. Things
used out of doors, such as skates, bats,
croquet sets, tennis racquets, sleds,
skis and scooters, are convenient if
stored near one of the entrances used
by the children. If it is impossible to
arrange a closet fitted with shelve and
racks, or chest nearby, many of these
articles can be kept accessible but out
of the way. Clothes hooks should be
low enough for the child to convent
emily reach them. If the basement is
dry, sometimes it will be found the
best place to keep bulky playthings.
Indoor game boards, folding tables
and other recreational equipment
that is generally used in the living
room or dining room is most conve-
niently stored in these rooms or in a
nearby hall closet. Bookshelves in the
living room need not be used en-
tirely for books. They often prove to
be a good place for keeping the vari-
Gus games in an orderly way, musical
records, magazine files, and so on.
A walk-in closet in the living room
or hall is a great help, as shelves can
be made the right size for the different
articles, while folding card tables or
game boards will go underneath. Win
dow seat lockers or chests are most
satisfactory when the interior is di-
vided into compartments for specific
uses so that the article wanted will not
always be at the bottom of the pile.

discovery of a case of anthrax in a
person living in one of the States of
the Northwest and asking all State
Health Officers to issue precautionary
notices. The case reported was attrib-
uted to the use of a shaving brush of
the kind indicated above, bought about
a week before the illness developed.
Examination of the brush resulted in
the isolation of anthrax bacilli. Elk
animation of other brushes bearing the
same trademark was made in other
laboratories with the same results.
Further official investigation
showed that more than $4,000 brushes
of this particular brand have been re-
ceived in this country in four ship
ments from Japan since 1887, and
have been sold or distributed. The re-
port states that they have been on
sale in a number of States, frequently
in variety stores and have retailed for
ten cents apiece.
In cooperation with the health au-
thorities concerned, the Public Health
Service has traced the shipment of the
shaving brushes back to the importer.
Action has been taken or is in prog
ress with respect to all known whole
sale stocks. AS there can be no assur-
ance that all stocks have been located,

co, beans and pop corn; and bee
culture.
Much interest was shown in the
work and Mr.. Quessenberry has

are vitality important, but in this complex
age of specialization, in this age of ma
chinery, of scientific farming vocational
subjects are indispensable.
Youth of today must be taught how to
do something we'll so that it can get job
can know and appreciate modern methods
of farming. Youth must be trained so that
it can find place in life, can marry and
provide it's family with the necessities of
life without appealing to charity, to the
government for aid. This is one of the
gravest problems facing America today. 1t
is driving this nation nearer and nearer to
bankruptcy
One of the big reasons that there are
around ten million unemployed in this
country today is because our schools have
failed to teach youth trade, vocation.
The world, now as in the past, steps aside
to let the man pass who knows where he
is going and youth must be taught to know
where it is headed.
About the only thing that Ashe county
has to offer its youth today is it's soil and
other natural resources. Due to erosion
and unscientific farming practices, the fer
tility of this soil has been greatly reduced
during the last hundred and fifty years.
To be successful farmers today, youth must
be taught to like to farm, to conserve the
soil, to rotate crops, to breed better live
stock and restore tinberlands and many
other essential things and this information
is only available through agricultural
training departments.
Much of the best of Ashe county's
youth has been leaving and making their
homes in other places because their high
school and college training did not prepare
them to find their places in life here at

EASTER

''NOw is Christ risen from the dead"
First Cor. 1920.
Sunday is Easter and with it comes fash
ion to see that her finest styles are on pa
rade; thousands of children romp on green
lawns searching for easter eggs; florists,
grocerymen, novelty shops and other es-
Establishments vie with each other in assert
ing their rights to emphasize the Easter
season.
In the light of all of this highly develop
ed commercialism one pauses to ask the
question, What is Eastern"
There are many ways this may be an
swered Christian people throughout the
world realize that it is the day of resur-
rection, the symbolism of new life, new
hope, the fulfillment of promise, and a
definite proof that the dead shall live
again 1t is an occasion for joyous celebra-
ton and for re-conSecration for it gives to
life a new meaning
1t is but fitting that Easter comes in the
spring, for nature herself joins in it's pro-
clamation. Trees, flowers and many ami
mails which have been dormant during the
bleak winter come to life again. History
reveals that even before the coming of
Christ, the advent of spring was heralded
with much JOY because it symbolized the
awakening of nature.
Is it any wonder that man, like nature,
wants new dress or new hat; that flow
ers long denied us through the winter
months, are treasured on this occasion?
Easter customs and traditions all have
their part in the celebration of this glor-
ious season and after a fashion help us to
realize the meaning of the occasion; but it
is very important that we do not allow
them to overshadow the true meaning of
the day, ''life everlasting through Christ,
our Lord.
