PROSPERITY

Prosperity is the touchstone OF
virtue; for it is less difficult to
bear misfortune, than to remain
uncorrupted by pleasure.
-Tacitus
The virtue of prosperity is tenn
perance, but the virtue of advers-
ity is fortitude; and the last is
the more sublime attainment.
Bacon
A smooth sea never made a
skillful mariner; neither do un-
interrupted prosperity and success
qualify man for usefulness and
happiness.
Burton
Trials teach mortalS not to lean
on a material staff,-a broken
reed which pierces the reart. We
do not half remember this in the
sunshine of joy and prosperity.
Mar Baker Eddy
One is never more on trial than
in the moment Of excessive for
tune.

SUBSCRIPTION HATES
MORE LAKES NEEDED
IN COUNTY

The little lake near 'Abners
Gap, which was dedicated last
Sunday, should be just the first
of its kind in Dickinson County.
The Haysi Sportsman's Club
showed imagination in planning
and resolution in completing this
enterprise. The lake and the
grounds around it will be a pleas
ant resort for a wide community.
Right at home, the people of that
section will have a place for sport
and recreation without expensive
travel.
This should be an inspiration
to other communities. The people
of Dickinson County should not
have to seek elsewhere the re-
creation which could be provided
here. A dam could be put up on
Grassy, near the Buchanan-Dick
enson line, that would back up
the water oyer wider space thar
is covered by the lake On Frying
Pan. Another lake could be made
over on Cane Greek in the noun
tain on national forest land. In
all probability, there are Other
places all around us as favorable
for such developments.
#N*
When we think of ponds AMI
lakes in this country, however,
we find one drawback. The
streams do not have a constant
flow of water. Many of them dry
up completely in August Or Sep
TENDER. Wasteful methods of tim
Der cutting and reckless clearin g
of hillsides for corn patches have
damaged the watersheds. Wher,
ever such practices have gone on
the rains fall and then the water
goes out in torrents, instead of
sinking into the ground. If the
watersheds are to be restored and
protected, teaching and demon
stration are necessary. The game
conservation clubs at Haysi, Nora
and Clintwood could take on no
more practical job.

SINCE 1919 A SPECIAL week
has been observed to honor the place
books hold in the lives of boys and
girls. Teachers and librarians seek
to make this week one of real joy
for children everywhere in renew

For all of us books are very per-
sonal matter. The first picture book,
the beloved Christmas volume, the
choicest birthday gift, children and
grownups alike can supply the titles
of those books that were among the
priceless possessions of childhood.
And for some of us there is that
keenest remembrance, the discover
ing of a library with its imitless
pleasures.
Library on Wheels
Ours is county blessed with a
group of forward looking young
men who through their JayCees or
ganization presented the county Ii
brary with a bookmobile, a con-
verted school bus, which travels
the 500 miles necessary to reach all
the scattered schools and classrooms
within the county's boundaries. And
so book service is being carried di-
rectly to the farthest points of the
county via the little red library on
wheels.

rating too, with its story that
takes the reader deep into Nazi-

Folk Tales
In the main, folk tales have proved
the happiest choice for story telling
for my school visits. And they are
actually the safest choice where
there is an adult audience involved
After all, the history of the folk
tale is that of fireside telling, with
all the family taking part. These
robust, simply told tales come to u.
from the folklore of many countries
Besides the Andrew Lang collec
tons and the Grimm and the other

Parents Err in Trying
To Persuade Girl to
Wed Good-Provide

DEAR MISS DIX: My daughter
is %, smart, attractive and ambi-
tious, but she says she does not
want to marry. She has had mem
friends, but when they find out
her ideas they seem to disappear |
She says she can be happy as She
is. Maybe she can, but wouldn't d
any parent worry about her fu-
ture? 1t is all very well to preach
waiting for the right man. but al
girl who develops such ideas of
independence may even pass up
the right one and regret it too
late. A well-educated, good busi-
nessman has transferred his af !
fectionS from her elsewhere. He
was about fifteen years older than
she, but I think she regrets her
decision and tries to hide it by
telling me of the girls she knows
who never married and how con-
tent they are. We are the kind of
parents who do not interfere with
our children's happiness or plans,
but I wonder if we are tight in not
interfering a little more for their
own good.-FATHER.
Answer: I think it is a wicked
thing for parents to try to per-
suade a girl into marrying a man
merely because he can provide
her with a comfortable home :.
There is SO much more to marri-
age than being just fed and clothed
and having a roof over your head.
In former days when marriage
was the only respectable occupa-
ton open to women by which they
could support themselves. a girl
had to marry for a living, anG
her parents were within their
rights when they used every en-
deavor to get their daughters mar
ried safely off as soon as they
could. But now, any intelligent, !
industrious girl can make her own|
living and make a useful and in
teresting life for herself outsideI
of marriage.
OF course. no one will deny that
happy marriage is the happiest
estate on earth for a woman, butt
unless she can find the man SheI
loves and the one who is con-
genial to her. she is thousand
times better off single than mar
ried.
