Cooper Urges
Federal Aid
For Schools

Wilmington, Mar. 28.-Tom Coop
er last night strongly urged North
Cmolinians to support passage OF a
bill for federal education aid as q
means Of building up the state school
system.
This bill now before congress" the
Wilmington mayor, a candidate for
governor said, lis just what North
Carolina needs and l would urge
every man and woman in the state
to wire his or her senator and con
gresham Immediately, urging sup
port of the bill
why, if they pass this bill it will
mean $4,500,000 for North Carolina
schools the first year it is in opera
ton and $13,500,O00 after the sixth
year, which could mean a raise Of
500 year for each North Carolina
teacher the first year and by the end
of the sixth year their salaries could
be raised 4 total of $500 year.
"And that" ne continued. sis just
a start. Passage of this bill would
mean more and better school build
ings in the state, an adult education
program Of which the state could be
proud. better Institutions for train
ing our teachers, nearly 100000 a
wear for rural libraries (and take it
from a mule dealer who knows the
rural sections, we need rural libra
ries) and more than 100000 for the
state department of education.

What to do and how to do it
these are the vital things which the
book of Proverbs imparts. 1t deals
with every condition of life, goou
and bad, in the revealing light 0i
Gods holiness and love. Good ad
vice may have its value, but we also
need to know how to put it into
practice. Therein is wisdom dis
tinguished from knowledge. A mar
may have an unbelievably great
store of knowledge, and yet be q
foolish man because he does no:
have the wisdom to use it.
Knowing that these notes are used
by great many boys and girls, as
well as by their teachers, the writer
would suggest an outline for next
Sunday which can be remembered
by everyone who has ever crossed
a railroad track. What does the
warning sign say? Stop, Look, 'sno
Listen" Then what? If all is clear
60 ahead. That is just what OF:
lesson tells us. Stop. for someone
has message for you; look, at tie
two ways of life; listen, to the wise
words of counsel Then go straight
ahead in the right way.
1. Stop wv. 1919.
Life moves on at a rapid pace
One Of the devices of the devil to
gain and keep his hold on us is to
keep things moving so fast that we
never stop to think, or to heed the
counsel Of others. The wise man
has something of importance to say
to the young man whom he calls
his son" Let us stop and give hee.'
to his warning. for we are assured
that it will mean for US long and
happy life wv. 10, 12).
Nobody but fool would hasten
past such stop signal, nor thrust
aside this opportunity for life-giving
instruction ". 13). Here is some
thing far more important thar
mathematics, literature, or econom-
les. Here is life.
III. Lock (vv. 14-19).
There are really only two ways Of
life-''the path Of the just that
shineth more and more unto the per-
feet day" ". 18), and the way OF
the wicked" which is only dark
ness and stumbling ". 19). There
is no middle way. We cannot walk
in both paths; it is "either-or'
Young people should get hold of that
fact, for in these days there is a
constant attempt to blur the colors
making things neither black nor
white, but gray; neither good nor
bad, but just advisable or inadvis-
able.
The moral laws of God are no,
changed; right is still and will eter-
nally be right. just as wrong is anc
always will be wrong. Wickedness
is SO wrong that it causes men to
spend sleepless nights trying to er,-
trap others ". 16). But no one necj
go that way; just do not ENTER"
that path, "avoid it." and if b.
chance you have wandered into il,
turn from it, ". 80. God will
help you.
III. Listen wv. 20-25).
Listening is important business
calling for real attention and .app!.-
cation. Especially is that true Is
one listens to the truth of God. I:
should be received by an attentive
ear ". 20), kept before ones eyes
and pondered in the heart ". 21}
Such listening is sure to bring re.
suits, and we find them enumerated

SHOULD REMAIN NEUTRAL

Editor Askov American:
A man must be fiend at heart to
give the kind of advice that his lord
ship, Mr. Churchill, gave to the small
neutral countries to join England in
the war against Germany.
We will take Denmark, if by any
chance Denmark was foolish enough
to declare war on Germany. A few
mechanical German divisions could
overrun the mainland in a day or So
What could this little country pos
sibly do to withstand the highly
mechanical and efficient troops OF
Germany? With Denmark's fine roads
the German troops would simply
SAIL through Denmark; if they re-
sisted their fine little country would
be torn to pieces.
Norway and Sweden could not for
long withstand an attack by Ger
many and Holland and Belgium
would also fall Germany would
loot these countries of everything
that they could get their hands on and
would end up more powerful than
ever.
There is one thing certain and that
is the small neutral countries must
get along with their powerful neigh
bors as we'll as each others. if they
want to exist. If they are dumb
enough to take the advice of England
and attack or buck their large neigh
bors, they cannot exist. England for
centuries has played these small neu-
trails against each others and their
large neighbors, while she herself
looted and robbed at will 1t would
seem that people should about be
wise to her game If England hap
pens to get what she has long de-
served no one should feel sorry for
her. 1t would be a funny world if
the world could not manage its af-
fairs without the advice of their
lordships, imbecile royalty, etc.

REASONS WHY THAT STASSEN is
THE MOST OUTSTANDING
YOUNG MAN
Editor Askov American:

Editor ASkOv American:
Stassen was chosen by the u S.
Junior Chamber of Commerce as the
most outstanding young man. First
we must consider the source from
which it came. Neither the U. S.
Senior or Junior Chamber of Com
merce has ever said or done anything
for the progressive or poor mans
cause, as they belong to big business
So their choice could be no more
fitting according to all doings
taken into consideration. But why
did they hang the laurel on Stassen?
Was it because before election he
paraded as progressive and when
elected double-crossed the voters?
He promised much but gave us moth
ing.
Or was it because he had enacted
into law the Homestead Lien Act?
Thereby depriving many aged in the
sunset of life a little aid?
Or was it because he hob-nobbed
with Norwegian nobility in seventy
seven-cent shirt?

Manneriisms Mark the Man.
They All Perform Off Guard

Zone woman speaker asked me
for handkerchief just before she
went on" Miss Wells remembers.
Cali through her lecture she stood
twisting it in her hands. When she
returned it, the handkerchief looked
like cruller."
Sen. James Reed of Missouri used
to have a habit of chewing tobacco
in the courtroom, while Sen. David
l. Walsh of Massachusetts can never
speak without thrusting his left
thumb into the corner of his trou-
serS' pocket. EX-Gov. John G. Wi
nant of New Hampshire used to
hang his arms straight down his
sides and walk sideways across the
stage like a small boy reciting his
''piece."
Emerson Had 1t Too!
Such mannerisms are not exclu-
sively modern device. Many years
ago the highly intellectual Ralph
Waldo Emerson had habit of plac-
ing the thumb and forefnger of one
hand between the thumb and fore
finger of the other, moving them
gently while speaking. Henry Ward
Beecher would emphasize the eli
max of his speech by rising to his
toes and throwing his arms over
his head, virtually pulling the audi
ence up with him.
Psychologists who have watched
such carryings-on from the specta-
tors seat don't believe it's neces-
sarily a matter of nervousness.
Sometimes the speakers are merely
throwing off excess energy. Or, as
one psychologist suggested, it may
not be so much the energy or the
audience as what the speaker had
for dinner.

COMMENTS ON BERGLUND
LETTER

Editor Askov American:
l don't think Mr. Berglund's fig
ures in the January 25th issue of the
Askov American in regards to saving
in the old age assistance program
are very well founded.
He states that the average of all
recipients of December were $3.50
each and he uses that same average
for the Al that withdrew which am
sure is not so, because those. whom
/ have talked to that have withdrawn
were only getting $40 or SIP per
month and it seems logical they would
be the ones to discontinue receiving
assistance. Those receiving over $40
or Whereabouts, have very little or no
real estate, therefore the large re-
ceivers naturally will remain. There
fore, isn't $3.50 average for those
that withdrew pretty high? So may
be the monthly saving to the county
is not $131 as you state.
AS long as you are in position
to ''know whereof you speak," would
like to know why the full value OF
property of one recipient of assist
ance is $4,000 and assessed valuation
$4,000? And l know that the taxes
are paid on value of $512. 1 GER
tainly can see no $4,000 assessed val
uation in the tax value or does the
Welfare Board exaggerate these
things for some reason or other.
A little story might illustrate my
meaning: His father was a used car
dealer and he (the sony had dog
which the parents wanted the boy
to get rid Of The father was always
telling the members of the household
of the good deals he was making, sc
one day at the supper table Sonny
told his parents that he sold the dog
today for $1,000. Both parents were
amazed and they asked him where the
money was Well he says he traded
for two $500 cats That's the way
feel about your savings.

Call them habits, manner
isms or just plain nervous
ness, but they're among the
distinguishing features you've no.

speeches or appear before the news

little, are thumb twiddlers, button
twisters, arm swingers or fist clench-
ers in our forgetful moments.
This Is the Point
A widely known Boston professor
used to enter his classroom holding
a short, well-sharpened pencil which
he twirled as he talked.
''Now this" he would say at in
tervals, sis the point" Each time
he would jab the pencil at the class,
until his amused students finally
made up sweepstakes on how many
times he'd do it each hour.
The late William Jennings Bryan
combined his mannerism with prac-
ticality. Before his platform ap-
pearances he would have someone
bring an old-fashioned dishpan with
a piece of ice to the roStrum. AS
his fiery speech-making warmed him,
Bryan would run the palm of his
hand over the ice, then over his
forehead. To break this routine he
would occasionally step to the front
of the platform, weaving back and
forth while the audience gasped for
fear he would topple into the front
row.
A MOnOcle Swinger.
Bertha Wells of Boston, who was
formerly in Chautauqua work with
Bryan, recalls the platform gestures
of many other speakers. Dudley
Crafts Watson, director of music at
the Chicago art museum, went
through a repeated routine of TAX
ing off his monacle, swinging it
around in his hand and replacing it
to the eye.
