Press Association j MUHCltCO Advertising rates will be furnished on application CONGRATULATIONS TO GRADUATES May we join with the rest of tl.e county in congratulating all t 1 ose who have achieved their gL al and have become members oi the graduating classes thruout tl e county. Perhaps special em¬ phasis should be given to those v ho have satisfactorily comple- i d the necessary study to grad¬ uate from high school. Many tart but few stick to it and work and strive to reach that day when they stand up and receive their high school diplomas. It is not always easy to com¬ plete a task and getting an edu¬ cation sometimes seems hardly v orth the trouble- But now that you hold that diploma in your hands aren’t you glad for your¬ self and sorry for those of your friends who felt the task too hard and fell by the wayside, v.'hen you go to get a job, having a high school education opens more doors of opportunity to you -a college graduate even more doors. Once you have an edu¬ cation it is a very handy thing to own and something you never lose. Let us strive for each year’s high school graduating classes to be larger and larger. UNOCCUPIED CHILDREN School is out and this week the number of children walking the streets has been very notice able. What is It going to be like when they get over the thrill of not having to go to school and start becoming bored and rest¬ less. All of them will not be working and besides they don’t work all the time. Unoccupied children with nothing to do get into mischief. They form into roving gangs There is needless distruction of both private and public property. They may even come under the eye of the law. When are we going to wake up to our need for an adequate re¬ creation program. Wholesome play acts as a stabilizer. It gives the children who work something definate to do In their off hours. It gives the children too young to work some place to go for supervised recreation And I mean by a Recreational Frogram, a program that in¬ cludes craft work, clay modeling, reading, music, sewing, as well ar sports and games. There has been talk that the Churches should conduct the program for the youth but they don’t. I don’t know of one church in the county that has a regular recreational program for the school children, yet all agree that the children shouldn’t b? allowed to run wild. Until we can have a Recre¬ ational Worker can’t we start with older people volunteering to give some of their time to chaperoning. We already have some games and no doubt the Eoard of Education would allow the gym to be used to roller skate in again this summer now that school has closed. It will take a large group of adults who are willing to cooper¬ ate and to give of their time. SCHOOL IS OUT NOW IS THE TIME TO START. Messers J M. Carroll, C. R Ayer and Miss Pattie Boswell attended a demonstration on lr- regation of pasture land at the farm of J Quintus Shepherd in Hamilton County. Tenn., on May 22 .

A Little Chip From Hickory Hill We went to see “My Wild Irish Rose” last night A-H-hhh but that Dennis Morgan is hep! Have you begun having shows In your new house there? That will be wonderful. Some one made the remark the other day that we would sure have war after the presldental election, we may, but I don’t think It will be over the civil rights program. That whole set up may be ok, but there are too many dumb oxes like myself that don’t see it that way. I Just an’t take it. I think we should put forth more effort to see that everyone gets a better education io matter whether he be black or white bond or free, but don’t hunk them into schools togeth- cr. There Is too much pitiful ig- norance riding over our land to¬ day, we need more and better schools and we need teachers as we have never needed anything before! I know as time goes on It gets better, but it Is so very slow. Save a Child... Save the Future! CAT fOOAY TO TMI Cffi/SAK fm Children mem vow, u. v. "Nten Like Him Make This Town Grow’ .OU OFTEN hear such comments about a man who has worked hard, saved his money, and invested it in some business that benefits the town. For he is providing new jobs, pay¬ rolls and opportunities for his friends and neighbors. Good citizens like that are to be found in every town. They are to be found in your town.

That first warning was generally enough. Because folks in our town are law-abiding citizens, eager to comply with any sensible regula¬ tion.
