These apply to all phases of

One mission official said:

atheism. How long do you think
American Christians will continue
to give support to schools where
religion is prohibited and atheism

forced to pay the salaries of the
teachers.

FARM ECONOMY BEARS BRUNT

The monthly report of the Presidents Coun-
Gil of Economic Advisers shows the first recov-
cry in industrial production since October,
1916. Preliminary estimates indicate that, in
August, industrial production recovered the
four per cent dropped in July.
There are some favorable and some unfavor-
able facts in the picture as presented to Con-
gress and the President. The country's labor
force increased by 100000 but this was be-
cause agricultural industries offset the de-
cline in agricultural employment that totaled
more than one million. Prices received by farm
ers, and the parity ratio, continued the decline
which began in April. Personal incomes drop
ped in July to three per cent below the high
of December, 1948, with most of the decline
showing itself in farm income.
We have selected several items relating to
agriculture in this country because it seems to
establish that farmers, usual, bear the brunt
of drop in prices. It is we'll to bear this in
mind in connection with any legislation to boil
ster agriculture because of the undisputed fact
that the economic welfare of the nation de-
pends upon the economic welfare of the farm
ers in this country.

So changed are these new Towering
ounces that they can almost be re-
ferred to as new shrub.
This new breed of Towering
ounce has a large color range
from pure white, bluffs and corals to
bright red. There are also many del
icate apple-blossom tones to be had,
ranging from light pink to the deep
est carmine.
The earliest blooming new vari-
ETY. is Early Orange. 1t begins to
flower in the late winter and early
spring. Almost as early blooming as
Early Orange are the semi-double
rose-pink blooms of the Early Apple
blossom.

SCHOOLS SERVE DEMOCRACY

With the opening of the schools of McDow-
ell county, it might be we'll for parents and
teachers to do little thinking about the pu-
pills that present problems to both Of them.
Children going to school system should not
be regarded as raw material to be subjected
to certain definite processes in the expectation
that the finished school product can be GER
tain or standardized Factors of inheritance
and environment combine to make each child
Ia special subject requiring, or less indivi-
)dualized treatment
Parents, who expect a school and it's teach
ers to take a rough specimen of unframed hu-
manity and develop it into published human
being, are looking for great DEAL They must
mot expect the school to take the place of the
home and the church. The guidance that a
teacher can give to pupil is valuable and ne
Icessary, but it should not and cannot replace
entirely all functions of parents.
Teachers, on the other hand, facing mass
of little human beings in their classrooms,
should not overlook the Importance of identi-
flying each pupil as separate teacher is not
mass worker. There must be the recognition
of the peculiar difficulties that confront each
student, together with an intelligent tolerance
for the child if the greatest Improvement in
the individual is to be secured
Naturally, we are very proud Of the school
system in this community. Along with millions
of other Americans, we thoroughly endorse the
common schools which offer educational op
portunities to all children upon practically
equal terms. The schoolhouse, in our opinion,
is the bulwark of democratic processes, which
should be understood, respected and appre-
ciated by officials and teachers, we'll as by
the students themselves.

The fruits of the new flowerinp
ounces are produced in a wide as
sortment of shapes, sizes and colors.
When used in half-and-half combi-
nation with apples they make a de-
icious jelly.
Flowering ounces are troubled
by very few serious pests. In warm
sections, lace bugs are a bother but
are very easily controlled by spray-
ing with nicotine sulphate and SOAP
during July and August. San Jose
scale sometimes attacks ounces but
can be eliminated by spraying with
dormant spray used for apples.
Ycu can see why with their new
long Towering period, simpleness of
culture and large color range, flow
ering ounces have become one Of
the leading shrubs in American gar
dens.

Arthritis-Part One

Arthritis-Part One
! This first article on Arthritis is an
article taken from material contain
/ ed in transcribed radio program
put out by the American Medical
Association for the benefit of the
public.
Did you know that hundreds of
thousands of Americans face years
of suffering-crippled disabled, or
deformed by rheumatism or arthrit-
is.
There are two common types of
arthritis. the atrophic and the hy-
pertrophic. They are so designated
because the trophic shrinks and in
the later stages the flesh atrophies.
and the bones enlarge and become
deformed. Both types often run
long, painful and crippling course.
: The strophic is apt to attack the
young and middle-aged. The hyper
trophic prefers to attack older peo
pie. Those who are beyond middle
age are frequently the victims. The
.hypertrophic arthirtis is usually NOT
so severe, but frequently leads to
great suffering and deformity. The
joints enlarge and often become de-
formed. Sometimes the bones of the
joint actually grow together and be-
come immovable. This not onlv
causes suffering and inconvenience.
but helplessness and crippling.
Don't look upon arthritis as a dis
ease of the joints only. No, it is more
far reaching that that. 1t is usually
due to constitutional disturbances.
For example-the teeth, tonsils,
sinuses. or other parts of the BODY
may be infected. These germs are
carried to various areas Of the sv-
stem. They often set up diseases in
the joints. When these causes of the
trouble are cleared Up, the patient
may be relieved of the arthritis in
the joints.
: After changes have taken place in
the joints, ard the bones have grown
together OR become deformed. moth
ing or very little can be done about
it. Operations are frequently resort
| ed to for the relief of such deform-
tiles.
The diet has a great deal to do
with bringing on arthritis. Proper
diet and general hygiene play a
large part in the cure.
We do not inherit arthritis, but
we do inherit a tendency. Bad pos
ture not only invites various diseas-
les, but encourages arthritis. Poor
diet. fatigue, worry and constant
hard work all have tendency to
bring on arthritis. So does exposure
to cold and wet. Arthritis frequently
follows an acute illness, particular
~ influenza or a cold especially, if
the ground work is already there,
such as the contributing causes men,
toned above.
