of the tender plant-the bruised
flax, the short-lived grass, the
poppy which is broken by being
plucked. But this is only one side
of the picture. The grass withers
ard the flower fades; but, after
all, the grass is one of the most
successful of all living things. 1t
has covered the cath like a
garment.
Have we done juctice to the quiet
strength Of the forest trees, which
are continually sustaining enor-
nous weight against gravity,
every year adding to their burden
and lifting it higher? 1t is very
interesting to see the roots of a
tree spreading within a cleft in the
rock and finally rending it asunder.
What strength of renewal there is
in many plants: our hedge plants
are all the more vigorous because
of the gardeners pruning. Then
there is the strength of longevity,
for the oldest living things in the
world are some of the Big Treks
Of California.
There is an inter dependence
between plants and animals-a
continuous cycle of lie by which
plants and animals live for each
other. AS we have seen, green
plants feed on air, water and salts;
they use the carbon of carbon
dioxide as the basis for manufac-
turing the essentials of life known
as starch, suger, fats and p%roteins.
Some animal eats the plant. The
material obtained from the plant
becomes part d parcel of the
animals body. AS long as the
animal lives, it gives off carbon
dixode: and this, regaining the
atmosphere, may be absorbed by
a green plant. Other forms of
waste from the animal pass into
the soil and may help to form salts
which the roots Of plants absorb.
When the animal dies and sinks
to the ground, bacteria begin to
work on the body. Its complex sub
stances are broken down into
simple substances, such as carbon
dioXide. water, ammonia and some
salts. Bacteria act as middlemen
between the dead animal and the
living plant.
The earth is u on a plan Of
successive forms something like

PACIFIC MANDATES

If Japan had not used Pacific islands
over which she was given mandates fol-
lowing the First World War for building
her military strength in preparation for
the Second World War there would have
been no attack on Pearl Harbor and no
bitter years Of combat TO destroy Japan's
military machine.
Now the United States, which bore the
brunt Of the Pacific war, serves notice
on the world that it intends to control
these islands as long as necessary TO pre-
serve the national security. Russia, Great
Britain and Australia are preparedto con-
test the claim, and have made their inten-
lion known.
They have no right to oppose the pro-
posal. Russia, Great Britain and Australia
all would have fallen victim TO the Ger
mans and the japanese had they lacked
the backing Of the United States and the
overpowering military might the United
States threw into the conflict to turn GER
lain defeat into victory.
In its determination to project its shores
from any possible future assault, and in
a no less effective manner to guard the
security Of the British and Australians
there is every reason for, and none
against, their assent to the United States
proposal. As for Russia it may be sale
that until the Moscow government dis
plays a better spirit Of cooperation than i
has thus far exhibited, there is no reason
to soften our attitude.
There is no thought Of empire buildin!
| in the plan, but only protection. Let i
t be put into effect.

ECONOMIC WORTH OF JUNIOR COLLEGE

ECONOMIC WORTH OF JUNIOR COLLEGE
The nations press is having a great
deal to say about the movement OF in
dustries into the South, and this regions
unparalleled opportunity for industrial ex-
pansion. And the publicity is warranted,
with raw materials, cheap power, year
round operation and plentiiude Of labor as
important contributing factors. Capital in
abundance is available TOO.
The fact is conditions are right tor the
South TO take its place at the front in
industrial production, with one marked
exception. The young men OF the South
have for years gone elsewhere in large
numbers for technical training and when
fitted for top jobs have located in the
East and Middle West, with the result thai
southern industry has been compelled TO
look far and wide for technicians, opera
tors, and superintendent.
1t is generally recognized that it the
South is to benefit to the limit from in
dustrial expansion there should be an in
~tensive program for training its young
men for positions Of trust and top skills.
With their knowledge Of the Souih's back
ground and current conditions. ii is proper
ly felt that they are better fitted TO func-
ton at the head Of industrial expansion,
once they acquire the necessary technical
training, than men brought in from other
sections who, whatever their training, still
lack Intimate understanding Of conditions.
This is the opinion Of the South's finan-
cial and industrial leaders and is not TO
be lightly set aside. II is the more i'm
poriant, then, that the South provide in
stitutions for the training OF its young
men on an equal footing with any other
section. This, TOO, is why we in Whining
ion should go as far as possible at present
in this effort by creating a junior college,
where young men Of Southeastern North
Carolina may acquire fundamental Train
inq in the skills indispensable in industrial
operation.
Among the many facilities proposed for
the Junior college are courses TO tit pupils
TO take places in industry, not merely as
skilled workers but as superintendent
and operators as we'll. The economic
worth Of the proposed college goes tar
beyond the benefit TO retail business and
the general educational opportunity TO be
offered, great as these are. Its special
training in high technical skills is TOO
valuable TO appraise adequately.
These things should be borne in mind
when the time comes TO participate in the
election for the college next month.

MOTHER MARY IN EPHESUS
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

We know most about Paul in
Ephesus; but as I have walked the
uncovered streets, and clambered
over the ruins, a rarer, richer fig
ure than the great apostle seems
to speak to me from the city's
past - Mary, the mother of Je-
U.S..
Scripture says nothing of Mary's
whereabouts after Jesus on
the cross, SO tenderly committed
her to the care of John. Presum-
ably she went where he went; and
tradition places her in Ephesus,
after John had made that city his
home.
1t is easy to imagine them walk
ing those old streets, John tender
ly supporting Mary. or sitting at
twilight in their modest home; and
mostly their talk was Of Jesus, as
they exchanged precious memories.
Sometimes others of the Brother
hood were present.
Doubtless, it was in Ephesus,
and from Mary herself, that DR..
Luke learned the details Of the Ma
tivity story, in the fullness Of con
fidence that one gives to a physi-
clan.
AS Mary looked upon the roaring
lie OF the great city all about her,
!! fancy that her eyes were often
iifted to the neighboring hills; and
|her memory loaged Cor the dearer
NILS that surrounded her beloved
Nazareth q homesick exile, shell
Tered by the love Of an adopted
son; aI~ ~ the reverent care OF
the new friends Of her own Son.
Our thoughts dwell in loving
migration upon all who we're

places are made holy by their pres
ence. Amen.
