PAYS HOMAGE CONFEDERATE HEROES ’ By Quimby Melton Many southern communities are observing Memorial Day to day, one day earlier than act ual Memorial Day. This is done ■ so that the school children can fake part in the exercises. That is a wise move. Tire younger generation is the one that will keep alive the principle of states rights and will be the ones to cherish and maintain the memory of the Confederate heroes. The veterans themselves are ail too swiftly passing over the river to rest in the shade of the trees. A few more years and there will be no Confederate veterans to attend the exer cises. — * ■_ There are three things we would like to call to the atten tion of the younger folks in con nection with Memorial Day. t — if. -— 1. We should never allow Southern Memorial Day to be forgotten. Especially should we see to it that it is observed ev ery year and above all we should never listen to the suggestion that it be combined w*ith the Decoration Day of the North — * — 2. Hold your head up and be proud if your father or grand father fought in the Confederate Army. He fought for a cause that was -just. He fought for the nation that “rose so whin* and fair and fell so free of crime.” Yours Ls a princely glorious heritage. You need never make apologies for him. — * — 3. Our fathers and grand fathers fought to preserve the Constitution in all its onginal strength. Just as they fought enemies of the Constitution then so we as their descendants must opiw.se the enemies of the Constitution that exist today. The Constitution is the docu ment that guarantees each oi as life, liberty and pursuit of hap piness. —** — Good Evening knows of no greater thought to leave with readers of this column than to quote one of the last remarks of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy: "Much of the past is ttredem able. The best hope for main taining the pristine purity and fraternity of the inion rests upon the character and opinions of the younger men and women of today, that they may be suit ed to that blessed work, or.e whose political career is ended, invokes them to draw their creed from the fountain of out political history, rather than from the lower streams. iMllut ed as It has been by self-seeking place hunters and by sectional strife.” — * — President Hoover na- pro claimed May 1 as Cmid Health Day. Every state in the union will ohserve the day. The health of our children Is our greatest asset, Surely Griffin will take some steps to stress the Importance ol' child health on this national Child Health Day.
