Clinton. S. C. CUNTON, S. C., JUNE 4, 192:> 8 VALUE OF YOUTH Governor Moore of Idaho, speaking it the recent child welfare conference at New York, offered .his state as a refuge for evefy homele'ss and desti tute child in the country. The good people of that mountainous state would be somewhat surprised if the offer was accepted, and if hundreds of thousands of pathetic waifs were all at once piled on. them._But„there a spirit of generosity and courage be deeply ippreciated and long rem embered for years to come. • Very likely* there will be an over flow of visitors on the campus nnd it will be necessary to call upon citizens of the town to provide sleeping acco modations for some of the children. If this is done, there should be a- prompt and willing response. Other courte sies should be shown the visitors, an automobile ride over the city, or .an afternoon at the. country club, ‘ or some attention that will add to the pleasure of the week. We Hbpe our people will bear these things in mind af»d put them selves ready to give eyery assistance possible to make of the Golden Jubilee a happy and successful olc^sion. - To do our part, next week’s issue of The Chronicle will be dedicated to the Golden- Jubilee. It will be filled with interesting reading matter, featuring the approachY.g even 1 , and- we will endeavor to make it hoih creditable and appropriate. A copy of the paper will "be;put in' the hands of all Alumni who are'here for the week. In our advertising columns we hope to carry' rtiessages of welcome from all our ad- vt rtisers. Clinton merchants and business houses are asked to co-operate in every way possible. They are asked to decorate their store windows,, to place attractive welcome signs where 'they can easily be scon, and to enter into this celebration with enthusiasm and community interest. is in those western mountains and val leys, and no doubt they would m'ake good. The governor of Idaho, of course, did not expect that his offer would be . taken seritHHdy-.—kt.owy that c .‘ry state values its youth. 15very - child, even the most forlorn, can be made an asset to its Commonwealth, if it is well looked after. We talk about neglected farms and run down soils. What about neglected children, worth THE COMMISSION IS RIGHT The county highway commission has aVted wisely in demanding right-of- way and top soil privileges from the abutting property owners on the Watts Mill-Yarborough Mill road be fore work is beguh on the project. An appropriation to caver the- construct ion of this road has been provided, and in spite of strenuous efforts made by the comnftission to get the right-of- way from the land owners, it is stated that approximately one-third have re fused to sign the agreement. There- has been infinitely more than any real*,estate, who are being allowed to grow up like weeds and absorb all sorts of bad ideas and harmful ways. MEETING LIFE’S ISSUES It is often noted that we are living in a material age and that our stand ards have much to do with that which we see and handle. The adding itla-lp e0 pj e 0 f Long Branch and Merna fore, work on the project indefinitely postponed Until those re siding in that section show a willing ness and a disposition to c6-operate with the commission. The building of a new highway through any section always, finds some who want exorbitant pay for fighit-ofi way and top soil. They act on the theory that the road will be' built in their community anyway and that they are going to get remuneration outrof the county before the highways are allowed to pass through their sec tions. What a different spirit the chine, the bank, the tax records, and like means of calculation are employ ed as measures of success. Men thus seek happiness, whicFr~if it can be found at all, will be found by means of traveling along a hard road. It is this which puts much of the stress and worry and many of the iorms of dif ficulty into modern life. It is this which brings blindnessregard to the truly great things of life and makes much too brief the list of those who have reached the realm of those who have nobly performed the duties of life and have solved its problems in the sanest and happiest manner. The opportunities for real happiness and success, as one of the commepce- ment speakers said Sunday, come tP all men alike and are not dependent upon their talent or their possessions. The worth of what we own depends mainly upon how permanent those possessions are. We- should possess our possessioha^ and what—we are, what we do with oilr talents, depends entirely upon the measure in which we^use these possessions and oppor tunities. Especially, should young graduates catch this truth and be gov erned by it in their lives. The world is prone to look upon the sections have shown, having voluntar ily signed petitions agreeing to give right-of-way and top soil for the con struction of any roads which may be luilt through their property. Our highway Commission is correct in the attitude it has taken. Certainly it would be unfair to spend the coun- WILL BE BUILT (Continued from Page One) date, and inasmuch as it is agreed that the Laurens county delegation would doubtless authorize borrowing against such re-imbursement agree ment for the purpose of additional road construction, Therefore, be it resolved: Fiirst, that the Laurens County Highway Commission considers it de sirable that road construction be con ducted or planned in various parts of the county. Second, that it is desirable that the more important routes be built first. Third, that it is desirable that these more important routes be begun with present funds in the belief that they would be finished with funds backed by re-imbursement agreement with 1 State Highway Department, or . by further appropriation to be made later by the Laurens county delegation, therefore be it resolved that the fol lowing routes be declared the mpst important routes at the present time on which work should begin, and that work begin on these routes as irfdi- cated as follows: (a) jnte gang which will be loaned to tKe City of Laurens will on com pletion of work ip the city begin work P. C.

(b) The gang which is to be loaned to the City of Clinton will on comple tion of the 1 ‘work in the city of Clin ton begin at the northern incorporate limit building in the direction of Lan- ford Station, and continue thereon un til approximately $6,000 has been ex pended. (c) The third gang, on completion of the fill on Duncan’s Creek, will move to Cross Hill and build from the incorporate limit of Cross Hill on the northeast in the direction of the BelfSSr-'Clmtdn Toad in the neighbor hood of Belfast, and continue thereon until approximately $6,000 has been expended. (d) The first gang completing the expenditure of $6,000 on the above project will be moved to Gray Court and begin building from the incorpor ate limit on-the southwest in the di rection of Princeton, and* continue thereon until approximatefy $6,000 has been expended. . • v Resolved fourth, that the above pro jects are adopted to be carried through to completion as rapidly as funds are piovided therefor, but that work will be stopped on the above - projects should the funds already provided be come exhausted before additional funds are supplied. Resolved fifth, that work on the above projects is not to begin untjl right-of-way and top soil privilege has been signed up by all property owners on each of the routes, and t> s money on this project, or anylg^y^ an y one 0 r more routes fail to other for that matter, where those residing on it and receiving the great est benefits, show an unwillingness to e;o-operate. In the meanwhile, th'' people of the Yarborough Mill com munity have no one to blame except themselves that their road is not being built. . HONOR AMERICA’S DEAD IN FRANCE many chances come to one and few opportunities to another. The world i$ quick to judge and slow td under stand. Every man has the opportun ity to be honest, to be fearless in his support of the right, to add to the volume of the world’s helpfulness and in countless ways to lay up for him self those treasures which time can- nut destroy. We do not see this equality of opportunity and make too little a record of the success which is French and Americans Pay Tribute. Pjunteve ^stoting ( Valorous Soldiers of 1/.
