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

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

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-

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:

side, building thrpugh the Bland and

bridge in the tlirection of Union, and
continue thereon until approximately.
$6,000 ha^ been expended.
(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

owners on each of the routes, and

residing on it and receiving the great

people of the Yarborough Mill com
munity have no one to blame except
themselves that their road is not being
built. .
