ANOTHER MEMORIAL DAY
A month ago the South bowl’d its head in revej’C'rit
observance of a day set aside as one of homage tif Ihe
sons of Dixie who gave their all in .the Civil War, a
legion that is fast passing and in a few more years
there will be hut a small host remaining of the gal-
lant lines that charged with I’ickett at Gettysburg,
campaigned with Lee in Virginia or fought with the
Confederate navy at New Orleans, Hampton Roads
and. along the Atlantic coast.
; I$ut it seems that our country is never to be with-
out its soldier heroes. As those of the war of 1812
wetjs passing came those of the Mexican campaign,
followed by those of the Sixties, and as these began
to reach the ‘evenin’ tide of their lives the veterans of
theiSpanish American war crowded upon their heels
an<£ now comes that mighty host from the World
Wa>, many of them also veterans of the campaigns of
‘98; but all still lusty and fit for additional service
should their country call.
gor these last two groups of veterans another me
morial day has come and today all America pauses
amf with flags and poppies, the little* cupped me,
memtoes of those who sleep beneath the soil of France
wilt pay homage to those who carried the flag to for
eign shores in the name of freedom and liberty.
i ffix years ago America had just entered the war
on The ride of the Allies and five years ago she was
usg beginning lo throw her strength into the line oi
lattle, a whole year being lost on account of our
country being unprepared for a conflict that had been
going on for three years and one in which it was al
most inevitablc-from the beginning that we would
^Wedneeday, as America pavs tribute to those who
' died, thousands of them avoidably on account of this
unurepaiedness, it is well that serious thought be
givfen to action forever preventing a repetition of the
coi iition in which we were found in 1917. Without
bee >ming militaristic this country can always main-
taii sufficient preparedness to be able to turn the
tidi of battle without losing an entire year and send-
injn thousands of soldiers to a premature grave.
Wei live in a land of liberty loving and war ab-
hotting people but there has never been a day in our
history when thffcrq has not been a hero of one war
iefito salute tht* younger hero*of the riext. We all
ethe holocaust of 1914-18 will be the last of wars
when the last ex-soldier whose deeds of valor we
eshen in out memory on May 30th passes there
be no other to take his place but these hopes
not bo better realized than by this country ever
ping on the Wort, alert with the R. O. T. C„ the
A. T. C., and a'sufficient officer and enlisted per-
„„..ncl of the regular forces to form the nucleus of a

act|on that 1917 demanded. (
“OWN YOUR OWN HOME”
Cast year an .‘‘Own Your Own Home
hop
campaign
was inaugurated iu Athens which netted splendid re
turns to the comnlunity. Another campaign of this
Irirfii would not be amp s, but it would be timely and
beneficial to all citizens. The reason for such a week
is sited by an exchange which gives some sound and
earth reasons wbyjiuch weeks should be made a
permanent institution in every community. Here are
the reasons given: .....
5 First. To show the advantages of thrift for
home ownership. Only 48 per cent are home
owners. Ownership encourages responsibility.
J Second. ‘To overcome the present shortage
h'.'&t homes—America needs 800,000 homes.
...r Third. To fetnengthen Home life and make
it attractive.
Fourth. iYo assist and encourage home
1 ■ makers and home builder*. Ninety-two per cent. ,
of the women of America do _ their °. wn home
work.
w 5 Fifth. To improve the home environment,
. thereby strengthening the child. ‘ To increase the
, Efficiency of the wage-earner of the house..
: ‘ Sixth. To stimulate sensible and valuable
purchasing fer home improvement.
' - Seventh. To mobilize community pride for
■ a common objective—pride of home.
^ There is another deserving movement on this line
Mi’tilch is nation-wide in scope and will be observed'
“generally throughout the country. It is “Better
Heines Week” from June 4 to June 10. AH over
-the country'demonstration agents are puslrtBffWlieai
movement in the rural district and many of tlfe agri
cultural papen- nro devoting much space to the move
ment, urging the people of the rural sections, especi
ally to become interested. Both movements are de
ceiving and, if ao|lowed will prove'beneficial to’&iljf
communities both rural and urban. It is an ambitrah
which every m«i should have to own a home and to
make his home li better home. It is worth while in
order to get tha| ogt of life which every family should
have, comfort, pedee and happiness. All the good...
things in life come with the home and .without ‘ the
’pood things of life, home is a desolate and uninviting
place.
New faces—a new personnel,
almost entirely, faced us at a
meeting of the members of the
board of trustees at~tftfc State
Normal School Tuesday. Wo were
raemlwr of the original board of
1 trustees of lhat institution, back i
1904—that Is when the commission
was abolished and a board of
trustees established by the legis
lature. There was only one othc
member present at this meeting
who was present at the first meet-
ing in 1904—Mr. Joseph W. Smith
of Reldsville. ;«iany of those who
attended the first meeting of the
hoard have passed to the great
beyond. Among those we can recall
are—*t'ol. W. J. Morton ,of Athens;
Senator J. R. Hogan, of Lin/oln-
ton; Hon. Joseph A. Davis, of Al
bany; Hon. Tarter Tate, of Tate
Governor Joseph M. Terrell
A. A. Calson, of Columbus, and
there may be, others who wo do
not recall. It brings to mind recol
lections of pleasant associations
which will live with us forever
but the reminder yesterday caused
sannf'ss of :heart and the realis
ation that some of the best friends
e have ever Jiad had lieen called
to their reward. And such comes to
us all.
i hoard was a fitting tribute to his
worth, ability and for the splendid
unselfish service he has rendered
to this school for many years past.

sixth consecutive term as presi
