THERE is A TIME FOR ALL THINGS.

me situation has grown serious reports say from
charlotte that group of citizens calling themselves the
PARENTS League have organized to fight the tendency to
push children into abnormaly early social life
IL most disgusting, the tendency we note now and
tne when mothers undy push their young daughters out
IN the world and encourage coushps late hours when
they are in their early teens
But how far worse it is when we learn that children
from SIX to ten pushed socially from the first grade on
they become abby from riding everywhere because thew
haven't time to walk pouring soft drinks and catsup on
eacn other at adult type parties for which they are too
young children driving automobiles before the legal age
panel of mothers made report that 'pstick seen
In the sixth grade and almost always by seventh grade
girls Sixth graders to weekly ballroom dancing classes
that last more than eight months and attend dances in
formal dress given at the dancing schools"
Inc situation has gone to extremes until Boy
Scouts are asked to give their camping trips in the
woods and stay home the girls will have dance partners
Nature has created humanity there is time for all
THINGS NO good of pushing children into early
social Life before they have known fully the exharatng fun
of wholesome athletic activity and recreation They soon
get bored with early and artificial social life which
can have its fullest meaning for them before time when
nature has prepared them mentally physically and spiritual
Y to enter into succeeding phases and parake of life it's
fullest and best Nothing to be gained by making them
worldweary and tired before college age Those
who are stupid and silly to fall into this pattern would
be aughabe and ridiculous the extreme were thew not
so disgustngy tragic.

THE VALUE OF THANKSGIVING.

It is well at this season of the year to have period
devoted to Thanksgiving The founders of country had
Tar less reason to be grateful than ourselves who the
heirs without effort of the many fine. things that
fruit of their toll and sacrifice
It's true they had escaped from oppression in other
lands and they had snapped lot Astounding poverty and
degradation only to of great prvaon danger
and toll They had chosen to depart oppressive homeland
In preference for land that offered tracess forest bit
ter toll and discomfort and facing great dangers in will
derness of savage Indians
Despite the discomfort hunger and danger they had
to endure they found much joy in their circumstances
to declare day of feasng and Thanksgiving They were
humble in spirit for the grace that had been shown them
grateful for the limited opportunities they had wrested
with their bare hands from forbddng land.
Truly We who have so much by comparison, whose lot
even for the humbes of is bed of compared with
that which shared by the favored people of those
days have extreme for spirit of humility and graf
tude.
We should not only set aside period of Thanksgiving
each year. but we should make real effort to prove
our gratitude for much that good which given
us with almost no labor sacrifice our part.
thanksgiving is of the finest seasons of the year
Perhaps than Christmas day that has it's
deepest meaning for the little tots But Thanksgiving can
be truly shared by every individual in this day and time
We would be the worlds prime ngaes did endeavor
to Undue all those about with the utmost hum
y and gratitude completely have evauated the
worth of what we share at this time.

THE HIGHER
THE FEWER
There's Always Plenty of Room
At The Top
By
NANCY ]. MIDGET

I'm late again, all rushed and
puffed
and through representation;
What should be done all peaceful
like,
is done in agitation.
Five days ago this column
should have been a "fait accom-
phi"
But, woe is me! it harder gets
to do all all things promptly.
l hop from one thing to the next
with seeming indirection,
But hopeful ever that in time,
all will be to perfection;
Perfection is as lection does,
In that Pm sadly lacking
But trying to achieve just that,
Can drive you near distraction.
1 rise in morning with the thought
Of what's to do?' get cracking!
But come the night, it's usually me
who's cracked and slightly lack
ing.
This Thursday is our day of
thanks
for having much and plenty,
When many are without without
and inward, very empty.
And after, there will be I fear
some pains in head and tummy,
For those who can, but will not
learn
when Time says "now go canny'
But for stomach that can ache
and for head that's feeling,
For sight and strength in morning
light
and night that brings its healing
For all Thy many blessings Lord,
while many bow in grief,
Hear and accept my thanks, o
Lord,
Thy servant, out of breath.

AMONG OUR MANY inconsistencies

we see by the news that school bus driven by IT.
yearod girl has involved in wreck with am auto driv
en- by young man In noting this circumstance could
not say VINO was at fault The instance only reminds of
thing we have mentioned before.
We do not believe it commonsense business sense,
TO put our most precious possessions into driven by
any person who has just of the age to be permitted
drive motor vehicle We demand trained drivers with ade-
quate insurance for the trucks which haul heavy freight
and our least precious of commodities we never bat
eye at the idea of turning bus load of children
hope for tomorrow into the hands of any
lure driver who may only want little added income or
happens to have the nod from influential citizen of
the neighborhood -
young people who driving buses And we would
now and then find seasoned adults to drive Buses who
would not be competent drivers But it good rule to
should be enough found whereby capable and able
aout drivers might be employed Our present system Just
doesn't make commonsense.

Among those who cater to

E. P. White at Buxton and Ronald
Stowe at Hatteras, who are equip

blinds and decoys.
There have been some set backs
in deer and bear hunting on the
mainland area of Dare County, al
though some good shots have been
made. In regard to bear, there are
gumberries in plenty this year, so
old bruin finds them most any,
where he looks, and doesn't have
to do much roaming around and
become exposed thereby, to the
hunter. Deer hunting has been
handicapped by the extreme
amount Of water in the swamps,
left by early Falls heavy rains,
which makes it difficult for dogs
and hunters to get into the woods.

(Laurinburg EXchange)
The people of Great Britain are
said to have a great affection for
Harry Truman, and according to
the British press Adlai Stevenson
is a favorite over Dwight D.
Eisenhower. Here are some
"quotes" which are indicative of
what the newspapers are saying
over there:
From The London Daily Mail:
"The nomination of Mr.. Steven
son would be good news for
Britain. The man is almost Eng
lish himself. His manner, his dress,
his wit and polish and erudition
are all British. We could not have
a better man."
A political commentator in the
London Daily Mirror writes of
President Eisenhower that the Re-
publicans have picked a "sick
man" and a salesman" (Nixon) Z.
with his ailing heart, his dam
aged intestines and his preoccupa-
ton with golf, Eisenhower will
almost inevitably go back to the
White House"
Some British papers have called
Vice President Nixon "Dirty Dick"
and one says that it was hoped
the vice presidential nomination
would go to ga man more widely
trusted"
The English viewpoint as re-
Elected in the newspapers is in
teresting, but what special inter-
est they have in the election of a
President of the United States we
would not know. Evidently they,
like the rest of us, have a selfish
interest to serve.
And if we were in Adlai Steven
sons place we would not like the
idea of being placed in the cate
CORY as a good "Englishman."

THINGS YOU CANNOT BUY

There are many things to purchase
In the stores and marts of trade,
There is every sort of gadget
Which the hands of men have made;
There are stamps and stoves and trinkets,
There are lands and motor cars
But you cannot purchase character
Nor the beauty of the stars.
You can buy type of prestige
And seat that's soft and high,
But the things most worth having
Loads of money cannot buy;
Common things like JOY and laughter,
To the true and good and kind!
Little things like peace of mind
These are values freely given
