INTEREST IN CHILDREN
That the average parents of Forsyth County
are taking a more intelligent interest in the de
velopment of their children is one of the hope
ful signs of the present era. But, how often do
adults fail to appreciate the sensitive natures of
inexperienced childhood and fail to make just
allowances for the viewpoints of undeveloped
minds?
The tragedies in real life that afflict a child
are often passed over carelessly. The depth of
feeling of which a small child is capable is sel
dom appreciated and the following story, re
called from a few years back, illustrates this.
In a large city, a 15-year-old girl pretended
sickness rather than attend classes and face the
daily persecution of more fortunate classmates,
who made life almost unendurable by their
taunts and jibes at attered clothing and worn
out-shoes. Rather than submit to the inevitable
humiliation, this this young girl crept into the
bathroom of her home, locked the door and put
the end of a gas tube into her mouth and in
haled the deadly fumes.
Her father, temporarily unemployed, smell
ed the escaping gas and rescued his uncon
scious daughter. A passing patrolman quickly
summoned an ambulance, but knelt beside the
body of the girl and revived her before the
doctor arrived. The next day, the policeman
visited her at the hospital, carrying her a pair
of shoes.
The instance is worth telling if its reading
will lead any grown-up in Forsyth County to be
more thoughtful and considerate of young peo
ple. It may also prove worthwhile if parents
use it to demonstrate to their children the error
of mistaken fun at the expense of an unfortu
nate victim.
BUSINESS MUST SERVE
The development of business has transformed
the life of human beings. The growth of industry
lias given modern conveniences to the masses.
nThe power age will revolutioize human exist
ence.
The business man, in the broadest sense, in
cludes the laborer, the capitalist and all the
multiplied millions o fmen and women at work
for pecuniary gain.
Our economy is partly a present from the
past, although shaped by present trends.
Business justifies its existence only when it
serves human needs. There is a great need to
day for business men with intelligence enough
vo appreciate this fact. Business is not a Colos
sus, astride other social activities and superior
to them. It is only the product of man’s exper
ience, representing his belief that it is beneficial
to all.
There is always the danger that business
men will forget that they are only a part of the
world. They easily imagine that they are the
end of human activity and they sometiimes fall
into the error of assuming that, without business
as we know it, the human race would lose its
culture, its civilization and its religion. '

C. A. Bagwell, Chairman, For
syth ASC County Committee re
minds farmers woh have signed a
contract in the conservation reserve
of the soil bank for 1959 that those
contracts took effect on April 15,
1959.
Where a conservation practice
was started on the designated land
before April 15, the contract be
came effective when the conserva
tion use began. After a contract
goes into effect, the farmer is
obligated not to use his Soil Bank
tract for grazing livestock and not
to harvest a crop from it.
The 1958 Wool marketing year
began April 1, 1958 and ended
March 31, 1959. Wool producers
have until April 30, 1959 to file
applications for payment under the
national wool program. The pay
ment rate will be announced as

soon as possible after that date.
The information contained in the
applications for payment is needed
by the U. S. Department of Agri
culture in computing the average
wool price received by growers
during the 1958 marketing /year.
That price must be calculated be
for the rate of payment to grow
ers can be determined.
Under the wool program, pay
ments are made to growers as an
incentative to increase wool pro
duction. The payment rate is the
percentage necessary to bring the
national average price received by
producers for wool up to 62 cents
a pound. The percentage method
of payment encourages a good job
of marketing, since the grower
who receives the highest price for
his wool also receives the largest
payment.
