Here , we see young boys coming out of college at 19 or 20 years of age, all fitted to do something worthwhile, and not one out of twenty of them has made any plans for what he wants to do In life, and taking things Just as a matter of course. I wonder what Is to become of them. I wonder how they think they are going to get thru life and the world. All that they are apparently thinking about is having a good time; they have no concern other thun where they ure going to get an automobile and the %asolino to run It." I his successful business man was not just talking to suy something. He is really concerned ubout this matter, and he would like nothing better than to find a solution for this very v^xlug problem; but how to solve the problem is where the rub comes in. We see dofeens of young men, bright, well set up, well educated young fellows who ure apparently giving no thought whatever of the morrow. They are only thinking in terms of today, and if today gets by all right, hen tomorrow will take care of itself, apparently Is their philosophy of life. Opportunities were never greater ban they are today. The future prom-[ ises as much or more than it ever did, but certainly those young men of today who expect to get anywhere should be making their plans, and planning earnestly today, what they expect to do or want to do in the fu-1 ture. The worries of this gentleman are not the worries of most of the young men of today; but they should he.?Yorkvlllo Enquirer.

FARMERS' 8PIRIT8 RIDING HIGH ON ECONOMIC RECOVERY \"A marked recovery not only in farm incomes but in farm spirits" has been revealed in a comparison ' of questionnaries distributed .by the Bui aoo Agricultural Economics in 1933 and in 1937. m?8t farmers were vitally intrested in the depression," says the Bureau;' "A number of them declared that revolution' was at hand and that armer ,ose bis patience this f B?me rel,ef doe? n?t come in some form or another."

I Hlcbmuud, Va , May 1#. -Coustruotlou of u dam to Impound u SOU aero lake In tho Cheraw Recreational Demonstration area, live miles south of Cheraw, 8. C., la more than 95 per cent complete and It la expected the basin will be flooding during July, according to field reporte received by the National l'ark Service at It'a eastern regional headquarters here. The lake will provide facilities for swimming, boating and tlshlug and serve also for protection and propagation of waterfowl and other wildlife. The dam which is being built across Juniper Creek, will, be 1,200 feet long and impound an 18 foot head 6f water. An 82-foot concrete spillway will accommodate the flow from M druinago area of 59 square miles. The impounded water will form u narrow luke approximately three miles long. A slate-wide advisory committee of 111 fteeu South Caroliniuns already bus j been formed to cooperate in development and use of the 0,800 acre Che- i raw urea which is one of 40 similar i projects distributed throughout tho nation to make available for recreational activities lurge acreages that have proved unsuited to efficient agriculture. They ate designed primarily to* provide facilities for group camps to be used by semi-public character-building and health-building organizations. A six-unit camp with accommodations lor 140 persons-Is under development at the demonstration urea, which adjoins the 720-acre Cheraw State Park, in addition to 30 sleeping cabins, there will be six lodges and a central group consisting of a dining hall, recreatlou^buildlng, infirmary, administration office, hot shower house, crpfts shop and staff and helpers' quarters. A large beach on Juniper lake and a youths' council ring also are being prepared as part of the camp. Working under supervision of the National Park Service, CCC and WPA workers have carried forward a largescale planting program at the Cheraw area. Approximately 500,000 long leaf and slash pine seedlings, 100,000 flowering trees and shrubs and 60,000 plants for wildlife food and cover have been set out. More than 500 check dams have been installed to halt soil erosion and aid In restoring the land to Its primitive condition. Nearly a half-million persons live w^hln fifty miles of Cheraw, the radius embracing Lancaster, Camden, Florence, Dillon, Sumter and Darlington. Approximately 1,500,000 others live within 100 miles. Bought with federal funds, the recreational area Is intended for Inclusion, when developed, among properties administered by state .government agencies. The State Forestry Commission, headed by H. A. Smith, of Columbia, is cooperating in the work program at the park. South Carolina's largest fish hatchery, which will include 23 rearing pools for production of redbreast, breaqa, crappie and large-mouth bass, is under construction on u protected section of the area. That work is going forward under Joint supervision of federal park forces and the State Came and Fish department, represented by Dr. J. E. Bost, of Greer, Director of Fish Culture. THINGS ONE REM EM BER8 (By R. M. Hofer) There are many simple things that could be done to reduce automobile accidents. Recently, I saw a small trailer with lumber tn It tear loose from the pleasure car that was towing It. It dashed out into the oncoming traffic, then Blued around and ran into the bank oil the side of the road where it broke loose. It missed oncoming cars by a split seoond, and came Just as near causing a wreck with the car that was following it. The trailer had been fastened to the pleasure car bumper (which was never made to haul a trailer) with an insecure bolt that simply jolted out. It was only a miracle that it did not cause serious or fatal accidents. The owner of the trailer refastened it to tije bumper with some baling wire and started out again. What excuse is there for' laws or regulations governing automobiles, that permit such potential death-deallnPjf^atraptlons on the highway? A trend officer would immediately stop a dftver without a license plate. Why should not laws be passed whereby a traffic officer would stop every car towing a trailer that did not have some form of Identification attached showing that it complied with rigid regulations as to its safety, and arrest the driver? This is merely one potential law to aid in automobile accident prevention, that could be as easily enforced as automobile licensing requirements. /. * Tbe population of Quebec City, Canada, is now estimated at 147,4*8, an latkm** ?' 17,846 ovw 19*1 popui v . . t-. ..... -t FIGURES DIFFERENTLY CON8TRUED We are reproducing some population statistics from The Greenwood Index-Journal. This journal la ho safe, sane and strong in its editorial views, that they are always scanned with Interest. We do not share the suspicions of that paper with reference to population. Our fear is a deteriorated population in caliber and substance, but not in numbers. We predict that the census of 1940 will show. the same steady Increase that we have had since the curtailment of immigration. A temporary decrease would not be an unmixed evil. There are millions now out of employment and on relief. In our judgment, there will be much of this during the coming years. It is patent that there are far "more people than Jobs. Our view is that it will continue, and intermittently grow worse. Birth control is mentioned. If equalized it Would be a blessing. The unfortunate feature 1b that birth control is preponderantly, If not exclusively in the wrong end. There is no such "animule" as birth control among morons, white and black. What Uncle Sam should do Is to encourage his army of raco uplifters, male and female, now invading the country, to help this class in devising means and ways of slowing down on their broods of prospective wards upon the public. Our population has been increasing too rapidly in spite of past ignorance in saving life. With modern methods, It would be all IBe faster without birth control. We have seen no quite recent statistics, but these may give an idea. The average expectation of life in this country in 1901 was in round figures 49 1-4 years. In 1920 it was nearly 66 years. In 1900, 1755 out of every 100 thousand population died. In 1921 it was only 1163, a decrease of 34 per cent. In 1900 the death rate of Infants under two years from intestinal diseases alone was over 108 1-2 per thousand. In 1921 it was less than A2. The decrease has been equally marked in typhoid fever and diphtheria. In 1900 deaths from tuberculosis were nearly 202 per 100 thousand of population. In 1922 it was 97. 1 This, and much more, is not only a great blessing, but a wonderful trl umph of medical science and modem methods. But with this marvelouc saving of human life, without blrtl control, the people of this country like the starving of China will some day be eating rats and mice. Birtt control in the underworld is the hope hot only of this country, .but in al except France.?Calhoun Times.
