Father Hart in his talk said
that ''the whole system of
Catholic education exists as it
does, because we had to find
an answer to the. Divine Tea
cher who asked the all-impor-
tant question: What does it
profit a man if he gain the
whole world and suffer the
loss of his own SOUL" The
only practical answer was the
teachings Of our religious OBJ
legations in the school room
alongside with the teaching
of our A B C's, he said. what
would ultimately profit you
if you became a wizard at
mathematics, a great historian
or English scholar and yet
were ignorant of your duties
toward your Creator and
Judge? he asked.
There are ever so many
so-called intellectual people in
the world today whose educa-
ton has been entirely one
sided. They might be great
financiers, great writers, great
scientists according to the
standards Of the world, but
what shall it profit them if
they were never educated or
Wilfully neglected to learn the
teachings Of God" It is a ter
rible calamity upon our ma
tons that such a knowledge of
God and His laws is being neg
lected in our secular schools
and even worse, the late de-
cision of the highest court in
our land which makes the tea
ching Of religion in public
schools unconstitutional"

Demonstration Week. During that week rural women will let people know what it means to belong to home demonstration clubs.
 Here are some of the facts about home demonstration work, which is that part of the Agri- cultural Extension Service pro- gram which deals with the home. Of the 3,l07 counties in the Unit ed States. Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. 2,301 employ one CT more home demonstration agents. County. State and Federal Gov ernments contribute to this work. Additional funds made available by Congress have increased the number of home demonstration agents bp 622 in the past 2 years and more would have been adced of trained workers had been available.
 The agricultural county usually has 2,285 farm homes, and On the average about half of the fani- lies in these homes make use of the up-to-date information on homemaking brought to them through the home demonstration , work
 ] The homc demonstration agent IS teacher. Some of the teach | ing is done through the 5O,OOO hom demonstration clubs with a membership of 1,l62,346 women. l These clubs meet monthly. Lead CTS are chosen who get special training in various phases of the home demonstration program by the agent or specialists from the State college. Training schools were held for 423,0OO such lead CTS last year These leaders pas Sed on the information to their fellow club members by means of talks and demonstrations.
 Home demonstration lcubs rep resent about 38 per cent of the families influenced by home dem- onstration work. Information was used by nearly 2 million other ! falnilis who hear about it by reading bulletin or an articla in the newspaper listening to the radio or calling the agents office or thy heard the agent speak at one of their church or lodg, meetings.
 | The home demonstration agent spends 60 per cent of her time presenting helpful information as well as giving demonstrations at meetings or visiting farm homes. Altogether, these agents reach more than 18 million people in meetings and visit close to 842, GOO families in their own homes during the year.
 The home demonstration agent has his or her office in the coun- ty seat. often in the courthouse. Here in a single year more than 1.445, 900 visitors get advice on the widest variety of home prob- lems. Some l,7l7.696 others get their information via the office telephone.

Drop Game To
Whiteville Team

The Tabor City High baseball
nine lost Thursday, Z to A to a
Whiteville nine in the first game
of q two out of three series for
the District 2, Class A title.
The Whiteville nine took ad-
vantage of errors in the fourth
inning by the TIC nine to score
six runs and wipe out the 3 to 0
lead the local boys held in the
first three innings of play. The
Whiteville team scored one run
in the ninth to wind up their
scoring.
The TIC boys scored once in the
first, twice in the third and once
in the sixth for their four runs.
Fred Soles drew the hurting
assignment for the TIC nine and
went the distance, allowing nine
hits and whiting eight. Soles
hurled q nice game but errors
on the part of his teammates
were too much to cope with as he
lost his first start of the season.
Ted Fipps and Orbin Fowler
led the hitting attack for the
Tabor City team. Fipps had
three for five, giving him seven
for 10 in two games. Fowler had
two for five. 1nman with three
for five and Anderson with two
for four led the Whiteville at
tack,
The winning pitcher was Will
