What preparations are being made
to take care of the greatest tourist
travel during 1946 that ever visited
White county? They will start early
and continue late into the fall. Now
is the time to begin to take care of
this tremendous business by building
modem tourist courts and places of
rerreation. It will take money to
build them but it will pay very hand¬
some dividends and it will build
White county.
People coming into Cleveland have
no convenient place to gg when “na¬

WHAT IS THE LEGION?
We of another war sometimes
asked, what is The American Legion ?
The American Legion is not a club,
although many of its posts operate
clubhouses. It is not a fraternal or¬
ganization, although it offers the fel¬
lowship of comrades in arms. The Le¬
gion is a service organization. It is
the trustee of a sacred responsibility
and power. The beneficiaries of this
trust own the Legion. It belongs to
those men and women who bear on
their bodies and minds the marks of
the pr: e they have paid for love of
country. It belongs to the father and
mother, the widow and the orphans
of those for whom there can be no
homecoming. and daughters It belongs to those sons
of ours who yet serve
America in the far-flung spaces of
the world. It belongs to every man
and woman of America who has hon¬
orably served his nation in the arnied
forces. While it serves its member¬
ship and those who were of the armed
forces, it also has a primary concern
in tire future of America. It has of¬
fered and will continue to offer lead¬
ership in those causes that promote it
the wellbeing of the nation, seeks
the co-operation and help of every
citizen. It belongs to the nation.
Those who own it are the benefici¬
aries of its service and its strength.
Through it we who served America
in times of war continue to serve it
and each other in time of peace.—
Chief Justice Robert G. Simmons, Su¬
preme Court, State of Nebraska.
PADDED ATTENDANCE
LAID TO TEACHERS
State School Superintendent M. heard D.
Collins said Tuesday he had
reports of teachers marking pupils
present when actually they were ab¬
sent, because busses were unable to
haul them through Georgia’s mud.
“If teachers pad the average daily
attendance and we have positive said,
proof of such,” Dr. Collins
“their certificates will be revoked.”
Dr. Collins had no estimate of pu¬
pils absent last month due to heavy
rains damaging roads, hut said the
figures would be “staggering.”—At¬
lanta Journal.
PASS UP DESSERTS
FOR SMART FIGURE
Don’t eat desserts, if you want a
smart figure and a long life, is the
advice of Dr. Victor Heiser, famed
author of “An American Doctor’s
Odvssey" and medical consultant of
thi* NAM. He decried the traditional
American pie habit and warned that
“over-indulgence isn’t going to keep
the waist-line down and Ihe morale
up.” The eminent medical authority
;tid that America’s disease rate
would bee ut in half, and “we
wouldn’t have to build one additional
hospital,”—if we ate correctly.

We have worked unceasingly for the

in all of the county’s progress made
thus far and will continue to do so,
because it is our duty and we are
happy in carrying out our responsi¬
bility to the people in the highest de¬
gree we are capable. However, it is
impossible for us to enlarge on our
news coverage of the county for the
present, as much as we would like
to, because of our handicap of being
on crutches. What we are giving you
now is with much difficulty and be¬
sides our advertising revenue will not
warrant an increase. It costs plenty
of money to give you a newspaper
and we cannot depend on subscrip¬
tions, as that will not pay for the
newsprint. A newspaper is wholly de¬
pendent on advertising for its exist¬
ence, so then, if it fails to receive it
you cannot expect it to give the prop¬
er news coverage of the county. We
are doing our very best to give you
a newspaper that you will appreciate

of every citizen in our difficult task.

maintenance of its county roads
$202,114 from Jan. 1, 1924 to June
30, 1945. The first 18 months the pay¬

estimate can be made by dividing the
total amount by 20, which will, by

YOUTH
Youtli is not a time of life; it Is a
state of mind. It is not a matter of
ripe cheeks, red lips and supple knees;,
it is a tempero f the will, a quality
of imagination, a vigor of the emo¬
tions. It is the freshness of the deep
springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental pre¬
dominance of courage over timidity,,
of the appetite for adventure over
the love of ease. This often exists ia
a man of 50 more than a boy of 20
Nobody grows old by. merely liv¬
ing a number of years. People grow
old only by deserting their ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin; but to givte
up your enthusiasm wrinkles the soul..
Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear
and despair; these are the long, long:
years that bow the head and tura
the growing spirit back to dust.
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is
in every human being’s heart 1 the lure
of wonder, the sweet amazement at
the stars and at starlike things and
thoughts, the undaunted challenge of
events, tite for the unfailing, childlike appe¬
what next, and the joy of thss
game of living. You are. as young
as youy faith, as old as your doubt;
as old young as fear; your self-confidence, aa
as your as young as youe
hope, as old as you r despair.
In the central place of your heart
is an evergieen tree; its name ns
love. So long as it flourishes you are
young. When it dies you are old. In
the central place of your heart ia a
wireless .station. So long as it receives
messages of beauty, hope, cheer,
grandeur, courage and power from
God and your fellow men, so long
are you young.—Author Unknown.

will not act.—Sophocles.
Mr. Businessman, did you know
