Economics News
One of the most interesting and
amusing programs of the year was
sponsored by our Home Economics
Club this week. The program was
on ‘‘personalities,”
Sarahlene Dunson had charge of
the program, and gave several good
definitions of personality.
A reading, which incluuod descrip
tions and characteristics of each of
the eight personality types, was giv
en by Hazel Bradley.
After this, the persons who had
the different types of personalities
assigned to them by the program
chairman gave a talk, or short skit,
to illustrate that particular type of
Personality.
For instance, Sadie Jo Crisler and
Sarahlene Dunson, representing the
“Silly and Dumb type personalities,”
co-operated and gave a play to
bring out their characteristics. Mary
Lou Doss, acting the “Madonna
type,” was sympathizing with a
younger sister by telling her a story,
Gladys Owensby brought out the
“Boyish type” by telling about one
of her most fascinating hunting trips.
Billie O’Kelley illustrated the “Ath
letic” type by telling her friend
about a basket ball game in which she
played. Margaret Morris demon
strated the “Business type” by act
ing on Mr. Smith’s secretary. Annie
Mae Jordan, the “Dramatic type,”
and Agnes Yarbrough, the “Ingenue
type,” were planning clothes to wear
to an operetta.
The program was very entertain
ing, as well as helpful. Before ad
journing, all joined in singing.
Carter Maddox Wins
Recognition Asa Writer,
Farmer And Athlete
Carter Maddox, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Guy Maddox of Rebecca, is a
staff correspondent of the Fitzgerald
Leader and is proving himself to be
a writer of much note. Editor Isa
dora Gelders of the Leader says of
Mr. Maddox:
“The Rebecca nd Turner county
correspondent for The Fitzgerald
Leader is quite a person. Son of one
of the most successful farmers in
the Wiregrass region, he has gone a
step ahead of his father as a scien
tific farmer.
He is head man of the Rebecca
Athletic Club and, although a fea
therweight in poundage, he has such
a steel-spring and dynamic physique
that he makes bigger men look futile
on the basketball court. He rated
an all-southern benth in his prep
school days and age hasn’t slowed
him down.
He is a deadly marksman with
.any kind of weapon; he has traveled
over a goodly portion of the earth’s
surface.
Sitting in the seat of a tractor
plowing over the railing acres of the
Maddox farm, he gets the quizzical
flashes tof humor and philosophy
which you read under the heading,
“Carter Maddox says,” printed on
this page from week to week.”

THOUGHTS IN THE DARK
Sometime between splendor of sun
set.
And the song of the Morning Star,
Lying awake in the darkness,
I wonder just where we are.
Are we headed straight for destrui -
tion
As some of us seem to think?
Or is there a curve in the roadway
That will lead us away from the
brink?
Must all the patient building
And striving for good through the
years
Be swept from the earth and man’be
left.
Groping in darkness and tears?
Shall the myriad forces of evil
Make man’s high enterprise vain?
Shall freedom and brotherhood per
ish
And the world be barbarian again?
Man has walked through many dark
valleys,
With anguish and fear by his side.
But always came the morning
And the forward face of his Guide.
A Guide that leads into battle
Against things that destroy man;
Against hunger, disease and ignor
ance,
Against just and self-seeking plan.
Our timorous souls are bewildered;
We forget that He who planned
A universe holds our world
In the hollow of His hand.
The wrath of man shall praise Him,
HLs purpose is moving star;
So I rest my soul in His greatness
And wait for the Morning Star.

Tying The Third Knot
An eminent surgeon had just com
pleted a difficult and delicate opera
tion. A group of eager-eyed stu
dents followed with close attention
every movement of the quick, sura
fingers. One student noted that in
stitching up the wound the surgeon
tied three knots, while the custom is
to tie only two. On asking the rea
son for this, he received an answer
he never forgot. Gently and impres
sively the surgeon replied:
“I always tic a third knot. It may
not be necessary, but it makes
things that much safer, and I find
I sleep better for it.”
The third knot is a symbol of ev
erything that makes for finer living.
It is the little extra of precaution, of
service, of courtesy, of kindness and
attention, beyond what is actually
demanded of us.
Down in Louisiana they have a
charming custom which they call lag
nappe, a triflling present given by
the shopkeeper or market man as a
gracious extra added to a purchase.
The thirteenth roll, wrapped up with
the dozen the buyer has ordered, is
lagnappe. It may be a few raisins,
a handful of candy, an apple, or a
couple of potatoes tucked into an
already full basket. This lagnappe
is—tying the third knot. It does not
cost much, but it mellows the at
mosphere and introduces a friendly
sentiment into business.
The employee who keeps his eye
on the clock and fears to expend
more effort than he is actually paid
for, may do his duty, but he does
nothing more. A deeper interest,
the spirit which prompts him to do
more than his actual duty, ties the
third knot, and, incidentally, increas
es the likelihood of advancement.
Much of the pain and sorrow of
life Is preventable. Slowing up an
automobile when nearing e grade
crossing; a little less speed in turn
ing corners; giving more than half
the road; a little extra thought for
pedestrians, would be the third knot
of prevention.
Stern Justice sees only the offense
and the broken law; Mercy recogni
zes these, but goes beyond them. She
is tenderly conscious of our prone
ness to slip and fall under special
strain. With sympathy and under
standing she ties the extra knot.
There is a quaint Biblical injunc
tion to the effect that if a man asks
you to go a mile with him, you
should “go with him twain.” This
is the century-old wisdom of tying
the third knot. In asking a favor,
there is a glow of pleasure when it
is granted gladly, freely—with an
expression of the giver’s delight in
the privilege -of service. And the
giver ties the third knot in his act
of kindness if by his manner he per
forms it graciously.
And—he “sleeps better.”
Those who bring sunshine to the
lives of others cannot keep it from
themselves.—J. M. Barrie.
