Color is playing more impor-

days. Bold reds and greens, bril-

used with unprecedented abandon
by the most noted interior decor

It's true. that most of US must see
these new colors used in different
ways before we begin to like them.
Also, it requires know-how and
skill to use the new colors pleasing

RELIGIOUS Education
Week Sept. 25-Oct. 2

Endorsing the observance of Re-
ligious Education Week from Sept.
rs through Oct. 2, President Harry
S. Truman has written Secretary
Roy G. Ross, of the International
Council of Religious Education, the
sponsoring agency:
''The practice and teaching of re-
ligion constitutes significant phase
of our American culture. Our peo-
ple share the conviction that the
motivations which lie at the heart
of the democratic way of life are
identical with those of religious
teaching. The spiritual ideals which
impelled our forefathers to seek
freedom of worship in this country
must constantly be renewed if our
democratic institutions are not to
decay The resources of re-
ligion are an important factor in
the development of the social and
personal integrity of our citizens.
AS for the forces of international
strife. they can be persuaded by our
example that a nation which cher
ishes the Golden Rule cannot but
reap a fruitful harvest of goodwill
among its neighbors."
DR.. Ross says that reports indi-
cate there are 29,745,000 church
school pupils enrolled in U. S. relig-
ious schools today, or about 5,00O,-
900 more than in 1916.

DO BRAINS GET HUNGRY?

It would be an interesting race of human
beings if the minds of men and women de-
manded food with the same insistence that the
stomach does.
Suppose your brain, if neglected and forgot
ten for day, would set up the same insistent
clamor for sustenance that your appetite does
Would you know more, or do you, maybe, take
care of the normal cravings that visits intelli-
gent minds and see that you provide diet for
the thinking machine?
Truth is supposed to be the goal of educa-
:tion and philosophy and religion, as we'll. The
truth will "set you free" How many of us real
ize that the best pursuit of truth comes only
when mind is free of passion, prejudices and
popular superstitions? How many of us make
any systematic effort to remove such cobwebs
from our brains?

OLD FORT

Old Fort, Sept. 8-There are
some 200 men still working both
day and night on the mountains a.
bove here blasting out wider road
bed and filling in the great gaps
washed out in the embankments of
the railroad.
Some few cases of pneumonia,
but since dry weather has set in the
general health of the town is much
improved.
The Road to Crooked Creek has
been greatly improved since the big
freshet.
The knitting mill has resumed op-
erations after being closed for some
time.
J. E. Patton's log railroad was
greatly damaged by the recent
freshet and he has decided to take
up the diney link and help on the
Old Fort Catawba Falls highway,
which has been admirably located
upon a grade of three per cent. In
place it is near level and above the
reach of high water. D. W. Adams
made the survey and much credit is
due his efforts for success in the
completion Of this highly commend
able undertaking. Most of the rough
places have been graded and over a
mile of the new road is now in use.
The difference in the old and new
road is very apparent. In a few
places the new road runs near the
location of that old historic road
of 1897 from Old Fort to Swanan-
GA. At no distant day this road may
be extended two and one-half miles
further across the Blue Ridge TO the
charming new town of Ridgecrest
The route has been surveyed. This
means a highway of great scenic
interest from 1900 feet to 5000
feet on top Of the Blue Ridge where
the air is pure and water cold en-.
ough to suit the most exacting
"bach" or maid of many summers.

BIBLE DEMAND

Plans of the Bible Societies for a great in
crease in the distribution of the Scriptures take
their vital place among the movements to help
the nations. Representatives of 20 national
Bible Societies meeting recently in the United
States set 35,000,000 copies for their annual
goal. This consists of 100000 Bibles and
100000. restaments- the prewar fig
ure-plus 26,000,000 portions of the Scriptur-
eS.
Demand is phenomenal, according to Gil
bert Darlington treasurer and manager of pro-
duction of the American Bible Society," Never
in the history of the world has there been such
a protracted or extensive stoppage of publica-
tlon of the Word of God as during the recent
war, he reports. Never before have so many
Bibles and Testaments in churches, homes,
schools and libraries been totally lost or de-
stroyed. World production of the Scriptures
is not yet back to the prewar standard Of "a,
100000 copies year.
The Bible furnishes the fundamentals for
the building of nations. It's message of "peace,
good will toward men" is indispensable. Ma
!tional good will grows out of Individual good.
When the Bible Societies place their millions
of the Scriptures in the hands of men and wo-
men and children, they 60 right to the heart
Of society. They help to remake thinking on
the most constructive lines and to provide the
basis for the most abundant life and the most
enduring peace-Christian Science Monitor.

THE VOICE OF AUTUMN

The owl has hooted in the evening darkness.
The voice of autumn has echoed across the val
ley. There is no mistaking it now, for although
the green is still green it has the CLEAN of dog
wood berries turned scarlet and the shine of
goldenrod in the fence corners and the glow
of little asters the meadow
There is the cider smell of windfall apples
in the orchard and the wine tang in the vine
yard. You can close your eyes and know that
the change is taking place.
Ripeness is fulfillment, and it comes not at
the peak of summer. It comes when the season
begins to ease down the long hill toward winter
and ice when the days shorten and the stars OF
night begin to CLEAN in longer darkness. Ripe
ness is summation of long, hot days and sim
mering sun and warm rain and the flash OF
lightning across the summer sky.
It is the beauty of blossom brought to the
succulence of fruit, the soft green OF new stem
toughened to the firm fiber of the reaching
twig, the winged seed of maple now rooted
at the grass roots and finding sustenance in the
soil Ripeness is September, warm at midday
chill at dusk and covered with cool dampness
at dawn.
The change is more than matter of sun
light and day-length, for there is rhythm II
all growing things, a rest and a resurgence
The seasons belong to that rhythm, as do the
day and the night.
But so does theaapple, and so do the golden
rod and the asters. The peak is past The wave
of the great rhythm now begins to ebb, and the
cricket sings, the owl boots, the crows cal
ouerulousy You can hear autumn from any
hillside-New York Times.

BUYING INDIAN NEWSPAPERS

We see by dispatch from New Delhi, In
dia, that American syndicate is seeking to
buy newspapers in principal Indian cities.
The new State of India would do we'll to pro-
hibit an American syndicate from controlling
any of its important newspapers In fact, in
view of the role that newspapers play in dis
semin ating information and guiding public
opinion, every nation should see to it that the
larger newspapers are controlled by loyal citi-
zenS.
The business of newspaper is to print
the news together with such comment as the
laws of the land permit. It is not to promote
business relationships between nations or to
undertake propaganda for any foreign inter-
est.

A CHILD'S CHANCE

A CH1LD'S CHANCE
| Children do not ask to be born into this
world. When they are born and have no fam
lilies to provide for them, what happens to
them?
What happens to them in North Carolina !?
Fortunately in this state there is an organiza-
tion which for nearly SO years has been deal
ing with that problem in sympathetic, prac-
tical and expert way. 1t is the Children's Home
Society of North Carolina.
| Its work begins with one of the most tragic
situations known, baby who is not wanted
and ends with one Of the finest and happiest
in the world, American home where two
parents will love and rear another American
child.''
The society, which was organized in 1908,
is one of the largest and oldest in the nation.
It has cared for babies from every county in
the state, and it has found good homes for
them in every part of the state. It has taken
over 5000 homeless children who had hardly
Ia Chinaman's chance in life, and it has given
them the best start possible
The problems with which it deals is con-
tnuing one. During the last five years over
5000 white babies were born out of wedlock
lin North Carolina The children's Home Soci-
lety has helped GAG babies in this time; it has
provided temporary shelter for 401 and found
adaptive parents for 326.
These statistics are dead things but the mo-
theirs who were helped-heIped to keep their
children if that were practicable-or to find
good homes for them if they were not and the
babies themselves, were and very much
alive There is no way to measure the hope
which the Society has brought to young girls
who did not know where to turn in their an
guish and bewlderment; there is no way to
calculate the benefit to the state which results
from taking baby that might otherwise be
thrown away as worthless or unwanted and
giving him as good chance as anybody to
grow up to be good useful citizen.
This great work is an investment in citizen
ship, and like most investments it costs money
money for case workers, food, lodging, medi-
cal care, laundry, and so on. The more money
the Childrens Home has the more babies and
mothers it can help. Last years operating ex-
penses were $66,338 and the average cost of
all services for baby is $191.
The society is not unsupported. 1t depends
entirely voluntary contributions North Car,
olinians, and particularly the people of

the children of today who will make the state
of tomorrow.-Written by William T. Polk,
