Cathevlne Conrad Edwards Asaaelate Editor, Paroits’ Magazine are a SOCIAL SKILLS AND COITBTEST Time-honored social graces great asset to boys and girls in mak ing their school life happy. True,* the want of these may not be felt until' adolescence whoi the budding social urge makes a youngster conscious Of his drawbacks. But childhood is the time for.instilling such valuable at- trfimtes as politeness, consideration and interested participation in group affairs. Well come back/to these, but first I want to discuss the more often neg lected social skills. Parents will, for example, take great care to teach the usage of please and thank-you, and accepted forms of greeting and good- by, and then fail to train the chUd in how to remove his hat and what to do with it, in keeping the speaking voice at a pleasing level, in enteriiq; and leaving a room with ease, and most important, in handling table silver correctly. ♦ Not long ago I sat near a group of high school boys and girls at luncheon in a downtown tea room. They were all vrell-manneied, nice- looking, intelligent young people, but 1 could never have imagined so many wrong ways of holding a knife and foiic as I saw that day. Since young sters today seem so eager to make a good appearance and do the right thing—as witness the way they de vour books on etiquette—^it is a dou- bk shame that they should be han dicapped by this la^ of a necessary manual skilL You wouldn’t^ for in stance, expect* a youngster to become a good golfer unless he had been tauifiit how to hold a club, or to swing a tennis racquet Just any old way he happen^ to pidc it up. Just so, there is a proper techniqiie for eating which must be acquired through practice. Of comse ji. young dtild’s control over the fine muscles of the hand isn’t sufficient to enabk him to use silver properly from the beginning. Nor should his baby efforts to feed himself be discouraged bsiatas Hwy are awkward and messy, for encour aging self-help is more important than teaching manners in the very young. But Tou can gradually train a diild through well-chosen tojrs to use his hands akillfiilly and after that it vdll not be beyond him to carry out simpk instructions in correct eat ing. Some toys used for this purpose of training hands are peg boards of varying uzes, fitted blocks, then on to blunt scissors for cutting out pic tures, crayon and c^lk for^ black- tJOMd" work, paints kad large pieces of paper for drawing, and still kter, pencil and tabkt for practice writing. As for the fundamentals of cour tesy without which the smoothest manners ace coxmterfeit, these are best instilled hy parents who prac tice them in their daily liv^. idiow- ing them, teaching them, insisting on them even, aren’t They must be given value for the child by be ing as 'much a part of his happy THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON.

Washington, Sept. 24.—^After each talk which Ftaddent Roosevelt has made to the nation in the past year, the first conunent of a large number Of peopk, ificluding many congress men quoted in the newspapers, has been, "His talk was practically a dec laration of war."

Moot*; childhood voice. as his mother’s eyes and COVER CROPS FOR SOIL ARE URGED Clemson, Sept. 17.—^The fertilizing value of winter legume cover crops is shown by some eight-year teste at the Pee Dee experiment station at Florence in which the top growth of Austrian peas produced an average equivalent of 327 potmds of nitrate of soda per acre and hairy vetch the equivalmt of 440 pounds, says H. A. Woodle, agronomist of the Clemson colkge extension senHce. V Mr. Woodk advises that Austrian pea^ vetch, and small grain alone or in rombination are among our best winter covey’er^ps, whirh not take up plant food that otherwise would be kached from the soil but also reduce the losses caused by erosiop on sloping lands, j In our mild climate, he explains, plant food is constantly becoming availabk in the soil and, unless some growing plant is present to take up . this plant food, murii fertility is^ kached out of the soil by winter rains. « For establishing winter cover crops Mr. Woodk makss these suggestions: 1. Good soils. Winter legumes are not likely to succeed on poor, sandy soils. 2. Inoculate the seed if the partic ular winter legume has not been grown successfully in the past two years on the land. 8. Plant between Ssi^ember 15 and October 18. 4. If the soil is add, use at kast one ton of ground limestone or its equivalent per acre. Vetdi is more tolmrant of an add soil than Austrian peas. 5. Sow i^ustrian peas alone, 80 to 40 pounds per acre; la eombination witii'Small grain, 30 pounds of pses and to butihsls of grain. 0. Sow halzy vatdi akna, 20 to 25 lowing nine different statements of the presideot’s. But in each case, af ter the spell cast by the president’s voice has faded away and his talk is amalyzed, it Is evident that althou^ he is determined to see that Hitler is defeated, he still is wording his talks to avdid a state of actual war. in his most recent talk to the na tion, for exampk, when be made it clear to Germany that our ships would shoot first at any German ships sighted on the Atlantic, he said: "It is no act of war on our ptul when we decide to protect the seas that are vital to American defense. The aggression is not ours. Ours is solely defense." » The pres'ident has stated our policy frmn now on will be to “protect all merchant ' ships engaged in com merce." His policy in regard to this was clearly stated wh&a. h» said: "Nd act of vioknee will keep us from maintaining intact two bul- wariu ef defense: first our Une of supply to the enemies of Hitler, and, second, the freedom of our shipping on the high seas. From now on, if German or Italian vessels ot war en ter the waters, the protection of which is necessary for American de fense, they do so at their own peril." Although it is easy to interpret that statement as almost amounting to a declaration of war, a well-known Washington correspondent seeiped to hit the nail on the head when he said: “Why do we have to try to extend the president’s statements? He has said that our ships on the Atlantic will defend themselves by shooting first. His explanation of that was clear ahd imderstandabk. But he points out that it isn’t war. So why do we have to try to say it is war? We may say that it invites war or that it is a step toward war, but in defining what we actually are doing we might as well use the^terms the president Himself uses rather than try to tack the ‘war* kbel on every act" There are many in Washington vdio feel that the president’s speech was merely a matter of informing the public about what we acttially have be<m dokg on the Atlantic for sev eral months. The aetkm of our navy l-on the Atlantic has naturally been kepttatagiMiMBet and it may be ti^t we have been "shool^ fint" when it seemed necessary for some time past. That of course is guesswork, but there are many well-informed' men here who make that particular guess. Aside from the president’s speech and the reaction of everyone to it the most talked over subject here re cently has been the senate commit tee hearing to determine whether the moving picture industry should be investigated for producing films aim ed at rousing us “to a state of war hysteria.’’ Although those who favor such an investigation consist largely of the leading isolationists in the sen ate, the case has been given much attention because Wendell Willkk, last year’s Republican candidate for president is handling the defense of the movie interests. Ihe isolationist committee claims that the movies of fer no opportunity to spread their views to the American people but has produced numerous films which it claims are produced as propaganda for getting us into war. Among the films named are such well-known ones as “That Hamilton Woman,’’ "The Great Dictator,’’ “Manhunt," “Convoy,” “Escape,” and “I Married a Nazi.” In defending the stand of the movie industry, Mr. Willkie, said: “The motion pictura industry de spises the racial discrimination of Naziism. We made no pretense of friendliness to Nfiri Germany nor to the objectives and goals of this ruth less dictatorship." Mr. Willkie has also come into the Umeli^t here by his stat«nent that he will work in the coming election for Republican candidates who sup port the administriition’s foreign pol icy but will be silent where Repub lican candidates do not support the president’s policy. He made it clear that oppuslUon tonfcmestic poBiriM Qf the president is in keeping with his own feelings but he is striving to bring about more imity in congress on foreign policy. A more optimistic spirit on getting our defeniKi program working at full speed has been apparent here since the presidrat’s recent appointment of Donald Nelson, who was once vlce- presideit of S«»rs-Roebuck, as a sort of one-man central planning agency to survey the vdtik defense situ ation, including defense and civilian requiremoite, materials avaikbk, machinery requirements and our k- this keystone in a communication arch over which arms and materials pass fpm America to Great Britain. Gibraltar itself and Malta in the Mediterranean are scarcely more strongly-held than this banm land, which is half again the size of Ire land.^ '' Cehwrship, of course, will not per mit disdosiure of the number of men or the amount of equipment here, but it can be said that the American, British and Norwegian forces on the island exceed the number of trained troops Britain had to repel invasion in the summer of 1240. United States marines in olive- green uniforms occupy an import ant place in Iceland’s defense plans. Their guns and tanks have taken up positions alongside the British. The British appear to have-freat respect for the marines, who settled on the island as though It were thf PROFESSIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT Bethwell OnOUHn, M. D.. has opened’an alllee a4 hta home al M N.
