THE DAY OF RESURRECTION

Sunday the Christian world will observe
an anniversary of vital significance to all
mankind, Easter, commemorating the res
direction of Christ.
One cannot visualize the full meaning
of the resurrection without recalling the
life and the teachings of Him whose very
birth was an omen of peace on earth,
good will toward men," Little wonder that
he was called king of Kings" for His was
the attitude Of helpfulness, protectiveness,
love, unselfishness, and good will toward
all men, in life as we'll as death.
How far away is the world as whole
today, from His teachings? Countless ma
tons are governed by rulers who are in
no sense of the word "kingly' And sad
to relate that the so-called principles by
which they control the people cannot even
be remotely associated with Christ; for
greed, selfishness and violence are their
chief characteristics.

PARAGRAPHICS

BRYAN divers suggestions for the future
growth and progress in Ashe county, made
recently before the Jeffersons Rotary cluo'
are worthy of the consideration OF every
citizen of the county; for they offer So
luton to the problem of what the county
should do for the youth of today, the cltl-
zenry of tomorrow.
Like Gerald Johnson in his much talked
of book. "Wasted Land, MIR. Oliver pom
ted out that one of the greatest resources
of the country is it's youth and that this IS
continuously drifting elsewhere because OF
lack of opportunity, means OF training, ana
announcement to remain at home. His L
point program, if carried out, would mean
much to the youth and in turn to the coun-
tv. Like Mr.. Oliver, we believe that Ashe
county needs it's youth and the youth needs
the county. After all, human resources are
the greatest assets of any county and Will
never become liabilities if properly trained
and given opportunity for development

The peace-loving democratic nations OF
the world are the nations where the Chris
tan church and the principles OF Chris
tianity are upheld. where men worship
God rather than false idols of power;
where men live in a measure by the gol-
den rule rather than by the savage idea OF
supremacy, that might makes right. Can
the Christian nations afford to stand by
and see those principles for which Christ
lived and died, crushed under the heels
of despotism?
Never before in history was there such
dire need. of resurrection of the princi-.
pies of Christianity in the hearts of indi-
viduals and nations. Life needs to take on
renewed meaning and to cast off the drab
worldliness which has been gradually en-
veloping it. Man must realize that the
Christ, who died on the cross is risen and
that it is only through the principles for
which He stood that the world can arise
out of its present state of darkness to
light of peace.
Easter, which should be time of rejoic-
ing, filled with hope and confidence and
renewed faith has no meaning for those
who have isolated themselves from Christ.
To observe Easter in the true sense of the
word, the world must undergo resurrec-
ton by way of the cross, to keep the faith
of Him who died that man might truly live.
On this Easter Sunday, let us not only
give thanks for the fact that we live in
Christian and Democratic nation, but also
that may we go to Church, to the Tenn
piles of the Master, and there rededicate
ourselves, our lives to living a more
Christ-like life in our homes, our work and
our communities.
We are grateful for our Churches, for
our pastors and for the excellent work they
are doing. Without Church, no commu-
nifty would be worth living in and may
each one become more closely associated
with the Church and with it's great pro-
gram of redemption.

Not In Politics
Already we have been hearing
much about what is wrong with
the country and will probably
hear much more. since this is a
political year. But the other day
we heard something which
sounds a bit more encouraging
than what either the Democrats
or Republicans are promising.
William S. Knudsen, President,
General Motors Corporation who
is an authority on many things
said, "T'here is nothing wrong
with this country which brains,
energy and good will cannot cure.
From my knowledge of American
industry, it is my conviction that
the opportunities it offers in the
next fifty years will be greater
than in the last" Let's forget
about the good old days and look
forward to the future.
Cats And Dogs
That expression is used mostly
to describe fighting, but not so in
this column. To many of the dogs
we are writing "Finis" including
Patsy, an institution of the Tucker
Hotel, as that is what happened
to several around town last week.
The general conclusion seem to
be that it was poison.
And speaking Of cats there are
many unusually pretty ones
about town if you like cats. Mrs.
c. D. Neal has beautiful white
one, Rhet Butler who likes soft
southern Waltzes.
Mrs. J. L. Segraves and Mrs.
Don Francis are two others who
are the proud possessors Of I'M
usually beautiful cats.
Lately there seems to have
been an usually large collection
of stray cats about the town
which have been both seen and
heard.

Under the election laws passed by the
1889 Legislature, in the future markers
will not be given the free hand which
they have often made use of in the past.
The law states that a voter who desires
aid at the ballot box may ask near rela-
tive to help him. If no near relative is pre-
sent, he may ask aid of any other voter OF
his precinct who has not marked another
ballot that day And if neither near rela-
tive nor neighbor voter is present, then
the voter may call upon one of the judges
or the registrar to assist in marking his
ballot.
This new law should help to keep down
lot of the aftermath of elections, as we'll
as to let the dead stay buried.

THE APPALLING FATE OF FINLAND

The heart of humanity bleeds in it's SYM
pathetic outreach with the wounds that
lacerate the noble and valorous people of
Finland in the fate that has befallen them.
Whersoever there is capacity to ap-
preciate the virtues of gallantry and the
heroism in people, there will be an un-
Outstanding of the sufferings of these
splendid souls.
Asking nothing of their neighbors but
to be alone in their industry and honor
able labors harboring no malice or grudge
or enmity against any outsider trying to
live in the deserved esteem of honest peo-
pie everywhere, tending their farms and
flocks and fields and vineyards, the Firms
were causelessly bounced upon by the
bestial legions of the Kremlin and, by
reason of vastly superior forces have been
overcome, beaten to dust and utterly made
inpotent to carry the conflict further.
Thirty thousand of the best of it's man.
hood have made the last sacrifice; $4,000
others of it's small but magnificent army
have suffered the wounds of battle, leav-
ing what is left of their land but a scant
remainder of it's original military defend
erS.
The Russian beast has come and taken
it's last pound of flesh. Finland has been
compelled out of it's sheer exhaustion of
man power and effective fighting forces to
surrender rich and prosperous lands from
which its people have been honestly and
frugally drawing their living.
The best of it's defensive fortresses have
been given up at the dictation of the heart
less Soviet INVADERS leaving the country
stripped of resources with which soon
again to be able to resist any further en-
croachments that the same monster may
demand for its Unsuitable nav later on.
Thus with vast proportion of it's finest
and best manhood laid on the altar of the
moloch of war, with it's industries and
fields devastated or surrendered with it's
land blasted by the bombs of the ruthless
aggressors and with little left upon which
again to start to build, Finland today pre-

ness that draws out the sympathies of the
civilized world
Finland, PROSTATE, hapless, abject in it's
humiliation, it's villages blasted, it's people
dispossessed of homes and treasures, it's
cities sacked, its future black from the raw
ages of this historic outrage, has done it's
best only to find that it was not enough,
except to transmit to posterity upon pages
made vivid with the stories of it's un-
paralleled valor a name for honor and va
lor and heroism that outshines the luster
of the glory of the Spartans at the Pass of

An interesting visitor in the Of
flee this week was Lee Goodman,
of Nathan's Creek who reported
that he had been ill with the flu
and had lost around 20 pounds,
but even so he had not lost his
keen sense of humor or his art
or relating funny experiences.
This time he told one about Jess
Reeves, the popular "the feed
and seed store man." He reports
that one time Jess Reeves fell
into a river when he had 500 in
his pockets. When someone, OBJ
serving his disaster, called and
told him he was about to sink, he
replied that it did not matter
about himself, but to save the
money.
All of this reminds us about
an incident which proves one can
hardly believe all he sees and
hears. One man occupying the
lower berth in train snored so
loudly that he kept the man
above him awake all night. The
next morning when asked about
it, the man who had snored said
to his neighbor "How do you
know I snore?" His reply was 81
heard YOU" ''But you can't be-
lieve everything you hear" the
snorer replied.
Under The Hats
This day and age women not
only want smart looking hats, but
want their hair under the hats
to look we'll too. A young lady
from Fig recently wrote to one
of the local beauty parlors ask
ing about the price of per-
manents. She related how she
had seen some beautiful ones for
$3.50. We would say that is a
bargain in beauty, if true.
Bryan Pennington, we'll known
farmer of the Helton community,
found something under his hat
when in Parker's store the other
day. It was dollar bill. The only
explanation was the fact that
Walter Turner of the Turner cof-
fee company, of Lenoir, who is
quite magician, was there at
the same time doing a number
of clever stunts. We have heard
of the magic of tea leaves, but
there really must be some in cof-
fee as we'll!
Let's Go Dutch
Last week convinced us that
there were some Dutch customs
besides paying your own way
which might be carried out to an
advantage here. A report from
Holland says that wooden shoes
have been given up for leather
ones by many of the people there,
but that the farmers have to wear
wooden shoes because they are
the only kind suitable for the
wet and sodden soil. We believe
these shoes would have been a
help on the streets here last
week!

 This isn't any nut idea" Mara said. These are dangerous days and the more men we get ready for trouble, the better. Who figures to be a better soldier than 8 foot ball player? He is physically per- feet, accustomed to hardship. likes the tough going, and is mentally quick. Suppose every football squad, professional and collegiate, adopted our idea? It would provide this country with thousands of trained, conditioned boys and men-boys and men of the type best fitted for lead- ership. have seen enough of foot ball to know that it is a game in which only the game and the fit survive. And that is the type you need in case of war"
 Mara'S idea makes sense to me.
 Why not have the athletes of this country prepare for military serv- ice? Prepare and play their games at the same time. It would make a happy combination, and, if I know the athletes of this country as well as I think do, they would welcome the chance.
 Maybe Mara did have good thing" after all.
