EDUCATE YOURSELF

This editorial is addressed to middle aged
individuals who feel, that their educational op-
portunities have not been as complete as they
would have liked
Conscious of this lack of training, some peo-
pie bernoan the lost days and sink into state
of semi-ignorance, without making any effort
to become better informed. We would call their
attention to the fact that there are only two
requisites to a good education, reading and
thinking.
There is no person in Mcdowell county, of
any age, who cannot become well-informed in
a year or two of intelligent reading, supple
mented by little thinking. Stop the habit of
taking opinions from anybody and begin trying
to study some problems for the purpose of
making up your own mind ....
To the individual who does not know where
to start, would suggent beginning on sub
ject in which you are Interested If it is the war
in China, read about it and then read some
more. If it is technical subject that entranc-
es your imagination, ask advice from some per
son who knows something about it. Get book
on the subject and, if it takes six months, to
read it until you understand it.
There is really little excuse for man or wo-
man going into old age without making the eff
fort to become more intelligent. Even if you
have only half hour day, take advantage of it
and begin to acquire new information. Never
mind about the better educated; make it your
business to improve yourself.
We know many excellent individuals who
have failed to take advantage Of their own
leisure time to read and learn but who con-
stantly lament that they are not "educated"
The matter of becoming we'll informed does not
hinge upon a college degree; it is matter of
reading and thinking. This is a question of de-
cision and determination.

YOUR MOTOR MANNERS

Emily Post the last word on correct mann
ers, now has written Motor Manners: The
Bluebooklet on Traffic Etiquette
AS one of the nations first woman drivers,
Mrs. Post has long been expert motorist.
Now she's set down the rules of good manners
in driving:
/. A well-mannered driver will share the
road, never usurpng the right-of-way from
other vehicles or pedestrians.
g. well-behaved driver uses his horn as a
warning device in emergencies, and never as
a bad-tempered voice to threaten scold.
g. An honorable man or woman would no
more cheat traffic regulations than cheat at
games or in sports.
4. Courteous pedestrians will cross busy
street at intersections, respect traffic lights and
avoid darting out from behind parked vehicles.
s. An obliging driver will never fail to dim
his lights when meeting other cars in the dark.
6. Well-bred people, whether drivers or
passengers, are just as considerate of each
other as are hosts and guests in a drawing
room:
Z. An accommodating driver parks his car so
as not to interfere with the use of other park
ing spaces or the movement of other vehicles.
8. Orderly drivers always keep to the right,
except when using the proper lane for turning
or passing.
g. A courteous driver never fails to signal
his intentions to stop, turn or pull out.
10. Considerate persons always drive at
speeds which are reasonable and prudent, con-
sidering traffic, road and weather conditions.
H. One who has consideration for the safety
of others will refrain from driving when ply
sically exhausted
IL. Kindly persons never show curiosity at
- the scene of an accident and always give any
assistance that may be possible.

Dr.. Sophia Brunson
PROTECTING THE SKIN
Dr.. Sophia Brunson

1t is quite amazing to what ex-
tent some women crave beauty, and
yet utterly fail to preserve or i'm
prove upon that which nature has
given them.
At the beaches this summer wo-
men can be seen exposing their face
to the blistering rays of Old Sol.
Some of them are screwing up their
eyes and squirting in most unbe-
coming manner. Many of them re-
turn home with wrinkles, and a
crop Of freckles and tan that de-
tracts greatly from their good looks.
It is foolish to imagine that a coat
of powder and paint can cover up
these blemishes.
The eyes even are injured from
sitting in the direct suns rays to
read, sew, or embroider; and yet
we have seen women doing this on
the porches. This not only wrinkles
and drys the skin around the eyes,
but the eyes themselves may be-
come inflamed and red.

w. C. Fortune Of NeBo recently
moved the field of orchard grass
and Ladino clover east of his home
Mr.. Fortune states that he had the
hay baled and there were one hun
dred and nine bales. '1n this field
the soil is tied down by the grass
and clover, Mr.. Fortune points out,
and there is but very little erosion
taking place"
! "Sericea lespedeza makes good
quality hay" Robert johnson of Zion
Hill community pointed out the
other day. He cut his sericea hay
last week. Mr.. Johnson says he cuts
his hay when the Sericea is about
IL to IA inches high. The hay is
raked soon after moving and stored
in the barn that afternoon on the
following day. He is we'll pleased
with the quantity of hay that he
harvested and plans to NOW this Sc
ricea twice more this year.
J. 0. Laughridge of Marion re-
ports that his cattle have been graz
ing on supplementary pasture re-
Gently. Mr.. Laughridge says by
grazing the supplementary pasture
it helps his perennial pasture
through the dry season.
"Poor soil cannot produce good
food. A prosperous healthy and in
telligent people cannot long exist ON

KEEP THE TOWN CLEAN

clean town attracts attention whenever
it is clean. A dirty one catches the public eye
in even less time. When the streets ands alleys
and yards and vacant lots in town clean
and sanitary it bespeaks like condition on
the part of the residents with regard to their
personal habits.
If each person in this town would use just
little energy and thoughtfulness we could
make this one of the ceanest spots in the coun-
try and our reputation would grow apace. Not
only would we benefit thusly, but the health of
the community would be vastly improved and
the physical capacity of the people would be
greatly increased. A clean works with
pleasure and with definite object in view.
Generally he gets there. The dirty one 1abors
from necessity only, has no ambition, and is
the black eye that kills the town in the eyes
of other people, Keep the town clean.

dark glasses should be worn. You
can have a pair Of sun glasses fit
ed to your needs. They should be
worn while playing games in the
hot sun. When the eyes are tired,
use an eye cup to give them bath
in a soothing disinfecting solution
Glycothynolene diluted to the prop
er strength in warm water, is one
of the best of preparations in which
to bathe your eyes.
Exposure to the hot sun dries out
the natural oils Of the skin. To
some extent this can be prevented
by the use of protective cream and
a coating Of face powder.
Most blonds have delicate skins
that require great care to prevent
early crinkling and wrinkling.
Many of the cinema beauties take
the utmost care Of their complex
ions. They would not dare to ven
ture into the hot sun without a
heavy creaming, especially around
the eyes, where the skin is very SEN
sitive and prone to early wrinkles
We know that a smooth skin is as
sociated with youth and today the
art of skin care has become so high
ly developed that many women of
fifty and beyond often possess fac
es of firm and elastic smoothness.
Take care of what nature has
given you in an intelligent manner,
and she will reward you.

HOLD TO OUR RIGHTS

The freedom of the people of Marion, along
with that of millions of other Americans, is
protected by the Bill of Rights and it should be
the duty of every citizen to thoroughly under
stand the nature of the privileges accorded
him under liberal Interpretation of the pro-
visions included under that term.
Just now, the United States is hearing much
about subversive, un-American and other pc
culiar activities. Various efforts are being made
to have Congress pass bills which would tend
to uproot these forces which most Americans
do not like.
1t might be good idea, however, for us in
our zeal to uphold American liberties to make
certain that we do not violate these liberties in
attempt to stamp out the things that we
consider dangerous to the liberties themselves.
AS one outstanding editor has said: Com
mttees that have studied un-American activ-
tiles will render the greatest service if they
tell us what un-American conditions make
Americans discontented with America and how
these conditions may be be corrected. That
will be better than invading the Bill of Rights. "

What Is A Boy?

After male baby has grown out
of long clothes and triangles and
has acquired pants, freckles and so
much dirt that relatives do not dare
| to kiss it between meals, it has be-
come Boy.
A Boy is natures answer to that
false belief that there is no such
thing as perpetual motion.
A Boy can run like deer, swim
like a fish, climb like a squirrel,
balk like mule, below like bull,
eat like a pig, or act like monkey
according to climatic conditions.
The world is so full of Boys that
it is impossible to touch off fire
cracker, strike up band, or play
; bali games without collecting about
thousand of him.
He is piece of skin stretched
over an appetite. A noise, covered
with smudges and eats only when
awake.
He is called tornado, because he
comes at the most unexpected tim
es, hits the most unexpected places
and leaves everything a wreck be-
hind him.
| Boys are not just ornamental,
they are useful. If it were not for
Boys, the newspaper would go un-
delivered and unread and motion
picture houses would go bankrupt.
Boys are useful in running errands.
| A Boy can easily do the family
errands; with the aid of five or six
adults. The speed with which a Boy
does an errand is equalled only by
the speed of turtle on July day.
A Boy is a natural spectator. He
watches parades, fires, fights, ball
games, automobiles, boats and air
planes with equal fervor. But he
will not watch the clock. In fact,
! the person who invents clock that
that will stand on its head and sing
song when it strikes will win the
undying gratitude of millions of
mothers with Boys who are forever
coming home to dinner at supper
time.
Boys faithfully initiate their Dads
in spite Of all efforts to teach them
good manners.
| Boys are very durable. A Boy, if
not washed too often and if kept
in quiet cool place after each
accident, will survive broken bones,
hornets, swimming holes, fights and
nine servings of pie.
A Boy loves to trade things. He
will trade frogs, knives, fish hooks,
marbles and snakes for anything
that is priceless or worthless. When
he grows up he will trade puppylove,
energy, warts, bashfulness and a
cast iron stomach for pride, ambi-
ton, pretense, a bay window and a
bald spot, and will Immediately be-
gin to, say that Boys are not what
they were in the good old days.
This Boy is the person we are de-
pendent upon to finish what we
|have started. He is going to sit at
our desks and do all the work that
we are doing-in his own way. He
can make policies and devise plans,
but whether and how they will be
1carried out depends on him.
We will make laws, negotiate
treaties and form leagues, but he
will have the power to amend, re-
peal or annul them.
He will occupy the seats in the
Senate and the benches in the

an assumed name to help protect
the vital secret Of the new power
unit being redesigned for mass
production in this country.
A communication from Gen. H
H. Arnold, wartime chief of the
Air Forces, was read to the meet
ing. The general told of his as
tonishment. back in 1941, when he
saw "that airplane galivanting
around the flying field in England
without a propeller. It was
even more startling to learn what
it was" The original engine and
detailed engineering drawings
were brought to the United States
with Gen. Arnold as an escort.
Gen. Arnold said he still was
almost speechless" to see the de-
velopment of his adopted child
some eight years later. The Bell
Aircraft Corp. of Buffalo was CIV
