Johnston Reports
Very Busy Session
Believes There Is Little
Chance To Get Favorable
Action On Dry Measure.

Representative Ira T. Johnston,
chairman of the Education Com
mittee of the House who spent
last week end at his home here,
reported that his committee had
been unusually busy, due to the
many problems which have
arisen in regard to the institu-
tons of high learning, as well as
the public school system.
Mr.. Johnston discussed some of
the issues now before the Leg
islature with interested groups
here. In discussing the possibili-
ty of a dry bill for West Jefferson
and Ashe county he assured Rev.
w. T. Wilmington and others
interested in the proposal, that
if there was an opportunity to get
action on the matter he would
present it.
There have already been a
number of bills of this character
introduced. for several western
counties, but due to the fact that
revenue is badly need the fl
nance committee is unfaVOrable
to such bills. Monday the Senate
finance committee slapped an I'M
favorable report on the first OF
the bone dry bills to reach 1t,
one which would forbid the sale
of wines and beers in Madison
and Avery counties.
The majority of legislators al
so frown upon any county meas
ure because they believe that the
sale of beer and wine is a state
wide measure which should be
controlled by the state instead OF
being limited to counties.

Raising boys and girls is and always has
been quite problem, and as civilization
becomes more socialized and life more
complex, that problem correspondingly be-
comes more difficult Frankly we do not
have much faith in the modern theory of
allowing them "self-expression without re-
straint". Children must be taught to have
respect for law and order and for estab-
lished customs. To accomplish this requires
discipline, or in the language of the adage,
eff you spare the rod you spoil the child.
The petty crime wave in this section and
throughout the country among the youth of
our land presents real challange to par
ents, teachers, churches organizations and

If the General Assembly will provide ag-
ricultural departments for Ashe county
high schools, we will be perfectly willing
for schools in other sections to have an ad-
ditional twelfth grade. We must have these
departments before we can materially in
crease our farm income and keep the best
of youth from leaving the county.

1889 John Carroll, first bishop of
the Catholic hierarchy in the United
States, built his college on the
heights of Georgetown. he erected
monument significant and worthy of
the Jealous, far-seeing prelate and
OF the ardent, genuine patriot. That
college became, as he tells in his
letters, the object dearest to his
heart. For he saw clearly, as did
likewise his great contemporary the
first President of the nascent Re-
public, that the life and prosperity
OF his beloved country would de-
pend in very large measure on the
cultural and religious training OF its
youth. Nor could he contribute more
effectively to safeguarding and
strengthening the foundations of the
State than by forging, as he did in
Georgetown College, the beginnings
of that magnificent chain of Catholic
schools and colleges and universities,
where the future citizen is taught
the eternal truth, that only he can
serve his country best who serves his
God first.
For in vain would that man
claim the tribute of patriotism, who
should labor to subvert religion
and morality, those great pillars
OF human happiness, those firmest
props OF the duties of men and
