The National Guard

One of George Washingtons most
famous statements was this: '"To be pre-
pared for war is one of the most effectual
ways of preserving peace"
That should be remembered in the
present troubled world And it has an
especial significance now that an agrees
sive effort is being made to build up the
National Guard to its authorized strength
of $50, 900 men.
The Guard is a volunteer, civilian
soldier organization, and it has long
and distinguished record of service. 1t
provides a priceless nucleus Of trained
men upon which an effective fighting
force can be built in time of war. Units
of the Guard were among the first to see
action in the last conflict, and they fought
gallant delaying actions while we worked
against time to create a gigantic Army.
And war is not the only emergency which
the Guard is called upon to meet. In every
great disaster, from the San Francisco
fire of 1906 to the CHASTITY explosion at
Texas City short time ago, the Guard
has done a superb job as a protector of
life and property.
To young men, the Guard offers an
opportunity to learn new skills, to i'm
prove old ones, and to acquire experience
in organization and leadership. Each mem
Der draws full days Regular Army pay
for two hours of spare-time training
week, and for each Is days of field train
ing year. 70 the community, the guard
is proud local asset. 1t represents public
service of the highest order.

Advertising Pays And Pays

Business houses, as we'll as many in
figures recently released by the Philco
company. Since 1917 this Philadelphia
manufacturer has invested 7.3 percent of
total sales in advertising. During this
period of years Philco has sold $781 ,OOO,-
10000 worth of products in the civilian
market In name and product advertising
costs ran to $4,000 100000!
The Alabama State Employment Ser
vice, after an experimental trial Of one
month advertising is sold on the idea ard
will ask for a continued allotment.
This experiment was made in the
Mobile office, where manager William
P. Stainback allotted $3.50 for advertising
in February and led the state with 2075
placements.
There are many more incidents we
could relate here; but those who have
done any consistent advertising know the
value of it. We ran across the following
suggestions given by an advertising eN-
pert the other day: Be sure that ads are
readable-don be afraid to use some
white space: give some reason for buying
the item rather than the price; use some
illustrations properly, if possible; give
special items special treatment; renlern-
Der selling the store is the overall aim OF
each ad.

State Board of Agriculture has adopted
Statewide standards for the production
and sale of milk in North Carolina Slated

In addition to its action regarding milk,
the board also pasesd a regulation which
will require vendors who use milk shake
base in making milk shakes and similar
milk drinks to post in a conspicuous place
placard bearing the words: I'VE use milk

The recommendations were drawn, and

with the local health officer. However,
a working agreement for enforcement
has been drawn by the Department Of Ag-
riculture. the State Board Of Health, anc
the local health officers. Both the State
and local health officers have pledged
their utmost cooperation.
We congratulate the board on these

Youth In Our Dav

Many of the habits Of youth have
necessarily been changed with the chang
ing times. In place Of the old fashioned
middies have come midriffs, and blO0mers
are out with bobby socks in. Snappv dane
ing and sloppy clothes accompanied by
an unusual vocabulary are startling to
some who are prone to Judge youth by
these.
It must be remembered that high
school youth has its serious and creative
side which is expressed in a more sub
stantial form than wearing gaiIy colored
ankIets
This year high school youth probably
achieved the greatest artistic output in
the history of the nation. Over 100000
works of art from high school students
in every state, the Canal Zone and Hawaii
were entered in Scholastic Magazines
nationwide competition held at the
Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh during
April. Never has competition been 50 keen
for the famous Ingersou Art Awards
sponsored by the United States Time Corp
Grafton. These awards will 60 to the young
high school artists who produce the twelve
best paintings Of 1947.
Although the great bulk Of the 100000
entries was cut to the nub in regional
contests held in Al cities throughout the
nation, the remaining entries, over 20
600 of them, filled nine galleries at the
Carnegie Institute.
So tremendous was the output Of youth
full artists that it took two weeks for an
award jury Of seven artists and critics to
appraise all the entries in II separate
classifications Walking through the eX-
hibit was out of the question. The jury
was pushed up and down the nine long
galleries on a mobile bench.
Credit for this tremendous artistic
turnout belongs primarily to art teachers
in the high schools throughout the nation.
1t also belongs to the United States Time
Corporation which, in sponsoring the
Ingersoll Art Awards, has contributed to
the spiritual and artistic development OF
the nations YOUTH Many institutions now
paying large sums for less worthy pro-
jects would do we'll to invest surplus dol
lars in fostering the artistic leanings Of
American teen-agers.
AS Professor Elise E. Ruffini of Teach
ers College, Columbia University puts
it: "Contests such as this will develop
greater interest in painting, both among
youth and adults, and will help make for
a keener understanding and a more tole-
rant point of view towards the work OF
both children and artists throughout the
country

generally recommended at a stage
of growth where products from ths
trees removed will at least heir
pay the cost of thinning operations
This condition exists in stands that
have reached an age of Is to 90
years since a large number of the
trees removed will make posts and
poles. Trimmings made at this stage
of development can be expected TO
increase the growth rate on the
remaining trees by as much as 100
per cent.
Whether the woodlands are man.
aged for the production of Christ
mas trees, posts, poles or saw logs,
trimmings properly made will shor-
ten the period required to grow
such products. Not only is the
growing time reduced but a thrifty
tree is less subject TO attacks of
insects and disease.
Woodland management is included
as a part of the complete conser-

Service technicians for all

tors.

To All SportSmen'S Clubs:
Your Department of Fish and
Game is conducting a study desig-
ned to indicate just how many OF
our extensively raised game farm
birds become a part of the hunter S
bag. Work in many states has
shown that released game birds
do not survive in great numbers and
actually contribute a very low per-
cent of birds to the hunter as COM
pared with wild birds. This type
Of information is particularly ad-
vantageous to your Department in
attempting to supply as much sport

About $4,000 of the game farm
released pheasants have been banded
this year. The great majority are
cock birds. Your cooperation Isl
urgently needed. Please give this
program wide publicity among your
members and others. Please urge
all hunters TO send the band, along
with the date and location of Kill
