LIGHTSEY I have the impression that a great number of young people are trying to go through life with “lugs” which are blank on the work-attitude side since it seems that the less work they can do the better they like it. They seem to have no thought of tomorrow and the struggles it will have as they are prone to say ‘what good is an education? My dad is mak ing a lot of money and he didn’t get to the fifth grade’. This does not mean that they can’t make good at what they do but how much better could they do if they would change the “don’t care at titude” and be satisfied with nothing but the best? One great problem of young people not getting a better edu cation is indifference. It appears that they feel if they get their lessons it will be all right and if they don’t it will still be all right. Should there be a special picture on at the theater that he will miss because of lessons to be prepared, he will choose to go to the theater or some other similar excuse will be used not to go to school. The next day he comes to school not knowing anything about his work and not caring to find out. It he gets a chance to copy another’s work, he does so and says that he has his work. At the end of the month, tests come around and he knows nothing about it. Then upon receipt of his report card, he wants to know why he failed. Absence and indifference are blocks to education. The parents should be so con cerned about their child that they should see to it that their child should stay in school every day and do the required work, for when the parents arq not con cerned the child becomes care less. The problem of better edu cation could be partly solved if the parents would see to it that their child is getting nothing but the best. We believe that perhaps some parents are careless and don’t place enough responsibility on the child. They wait on him hand and foot and when time comes for him to be put on his own, he is at a loss as to what to do. Most of the time the parents blame the teacher because the child failed and part of it may be true with some, but then what are the parents doing about it? The teacher has that child for about seven hours a day and with many activities she or he has she Stolen Car Returned in Record Time An automobile stolen in Na hunta Saturday night was recov ered before the owner knew it was stolen, it is reported by sheriff J. Walter Crews. The stolen Chevrolet car be longed to George Thomas, son of Rev. and Mrs. Cecil Thomas. George was at the high school building and his car was park ed outside. Meanwhile, at the Middleton Service Station at Hortense a young man drove up and pawned a watch for a tank of gasoline. The attendant, a Crews youth, thought he recognized the auto. When the man in the car drove off, Crews notified Mrs. Thomas who in turn notified Sheriff Crews who broadcast report of the theft to surrounding counties. The stolen car was intercepted in Wayne County by a deputy sheriff there and the driver, Lewis Kenneth Dennis of Thomasville, N. C. was put under arrest. Dennis is being held in the Brantley County jail under a charge of stealing an automobile. He gave his age as 26. On the same night, Saturday, sheriff Crews and deputies found a stolen Chevrolet pickup truck two miles south of Nahunta on Route 301. The truck had been stolen in Cartersville, Ga., but the thief has not been apprehen ded.

Thus, loss of too many days from school and the indifferent attitude on the part of some are two sure signs of failure. When a business firm hires a person, it certainly would trace the dependence of that person for it would not want to hire a per son who could not meet their re quirements. Therefore, to get good jobs we should be concern ed about education. In a business world the young person will cer tainly be put on his own and in school or at home he should learn to adjust himself for meeting the knocks that he will have. The teachers should inform students of this fact. They should help students realize that as workers they will not be able to move from one activity to ano ther as frequently as they change classes. Neither will they be able to do as they have done at home. To keep a job, they must be on the job. Students need to be a ware of how much emphasis the employers place on promptness, regular attendance and consistent attention to the job. Any worker worth his wages will be interested in the possibi lities of advancement but they shouldn’t become so self-centered in trying to promote themselves that they neglect the job at hand. The business world is contribut ing to better education by furn ishing the motives and changing the attitudes of the employees. Teachers can.help students ac hieve realistic attitudes toward promotions by pointing out that while industry sorely needs great er supervisory skills advance ments take time and often re quire additional training. Educa tion doesn’t stop here. Students should be advised to show satis factory patterns of adjustments and complency on their first job and after a reasonable interval to inquire what further training the business firm recommends for those who want to move up ward. The teacher can do .much in promoting educational interests if the child stays in school every day and gets help from parents. Business and education have a common concern in- the all around’ excellence of the young people turned out by the schools and underlying the entire field of common endeavor is the im portance of the teacher helping the students to acquire both the necessary* skills and the emotion al maturity to adjust quickly in their business life.

Tobacco Quota Vote Scheduled For Dec. 15 Growers will vote December 15 on marketing quotas for the 19- 59, 1960 and 1961 crops of flue cured tobacco, John F. Bradley, Administrative Officer of ihe State Agricultural Stablization and Conservation Committee, an nounced today. The 1958 crop is the last for which growers have already approved quotas. If at least two-thirds of the growers voting approve the quo tas, they will be in effect for the next three flue-cured crops, and tobacco produced in excess of the farm allotment will be subject to a marketing penalty. Tobacco prices, under a quota program, would be supported at 90 per cent of parity. If more than one-third of the voters fail to approve quotas, the quotas and penalties will not be in effect for the 1959 crop of flue cured tobacco and no price sup port will be available. In that case, another referendum would be held next year on quotas for the following three crops. For most farms, Bradley stated, the 1959 allotments for flue cured tobacco will be about the same as in 1958. Notices of in dividual allotments will be mail ed to growers before the refer endum. The Department of Agriculture has also announced that the va riety discount program for flue cured tobacco, which has been in effect for the past 2 years, will be continued in 1959. Under this program, prices of the “less de sirable” varieties Coker 139, Coker 140, and Dixie Bright 244, are supported at one-half the support rates for comparable grades of other varieties. Grow ers are urged to plant varieties which produce tobacco having the flavor and aroma currently in demand by manufacturers.

Whitherspoon House Burned in Nahunta In Negro Section The house of John Wither spoon, Negro, burned t down in Nahunta early Friday morning, Dec. 5, but good work on the part of the Nahunta fire department saved closely adjoining buildings. The fire was believed to have started from a stove flu. The fire threatened to consume a Negro house close adjoining the Wither spoon building, but the volun teer fire fighters of the Nahun ta fire department managed to put enough water on the threaten ed building to save it. After the lire was put out one colored man was heard to remark upon the way the white people strove to help save the Negro buildings. He seemed impressed that so many white people would work so hard to save the homes of the colored people. He said that only Southern people cared that much for colored people.
