' . . i > ? ' '? ' S * i - Roger Babson Says Choose 'Good Stock' (By Roger Habson) Special to The Chronicle Children As Investments Charleston. May 1. ? As today Is Child's Health Day, I should like to write of children as au Investment and insurance. First, let me say that I believe la standard life Insurance us sold by strong companies. Parents, however, should not depend wholly upon such policies or even upon stocks, bonds, or real .estate. Their only sure protection Is a family of healthy, Intelligent, aud Godfearing children. j God's Children Talk about intrudes! Are there any comparable with the conception of u little child? 1 have in mind not the tiny eyebrows, the perfect Anger nulls, and these obvious things which appeal to mothers?but rather the child's marvelous unseen digestive, circulatory, nervous and other systems. Consider the power to see and to hear?to taste and to smell! The mechanisms, of the eye and brain alone far excel any invention by man. Think of the possibilities1 of the brain of a little child. Realize its ability for analysis, leadership, and happiness. How It can devise ways for the health, prosperity and peace of mankind! There is no reason why there should not be thousands of EdIsons, Marconis and Fords?thousands of Shakospeares, Dickenses and Long-1 fellows; thousands of Darwlns, Pas-1 teura and Klnstelns. Good Breeding Essential Of course, we must use common sense.in breeding children Just as we would use in breeding animals, trees or plants. We must have good stock. 8ome people are not Atted for parenthood. Hence, young people should take care with whom they mate. There is, however, enough good stock to breed a constantly growing and better race if the value of children could be appreciated. By value I do not mean something dreamy and idealistic in the future. I refer to a deAnite and concrete value in dollars and centB. But?and here Is the difficulty? children are like farms, factories, stores and every other business; they will not grow or succeed by themselves. Children need constant thought and care. Children usually will not be assets if treated as luxuries or even if merely "loved." Children should be looked upon as Invest-1 ments.*^An account should be kept' of every dollar spent upon them and they should be trained to repay many J fold. If, therefore, we will give time and thought to the training of our children?as we give to our business and pleasures?they are sure to return marvelous dividends. Nature's Plan The first command in the Bible,vis to ' multiply and replenish the earth." Cntll recent years large families have been synonomous with Christian homes. The morality of the world depends basically upon the proportion of children which the better families bring into the world. Statistics as fo school houses,, church buildings, college endowments, missionary gifts and the like are largely window dressing. Raising-* family of good children is the first duty of men and women. A realization of the above facts is the great need of America today. Money, pensions and social legislation may soon be of little value tender present declining birth rate tendencies. Remember what is happening to France and is perhaps happening to England! Besides, the cycle of life indicates that we are gradually returning to that period when land and children will again be our main assets. Wise are those young people who know how to anticipate coming events by investing in and developing nature's really sound investments. Looking Ahead Many are wondering what will happen after World War II?to our economic system, to our political traditions, and to the church. We assume that those now In control will decide these questions. We forget that we oldsters are gradually passing out of the picture and that an entirely new group will have unlimited power. The answer lies with our children. What are we doing to train them for these coming responsibilities? Our present American way of life exists because of a certain balance of power made up in right proportions of employers and wage workers, educators and students, church members and "outsiders." conservatives and radicals. The success of America lias been due largely to the diversification of these grftbps in proper proportions. But what if these proportions are upset? Such a misfortune will occur unless the spiritual. Intellectual and conservative families continue to propagate at least as rapidly as they have in the past and train* their children in Christian cltlsenshlp. Let every community havo a budget for new babies from good stock. TRUSTY AUTOMATIC? Still one of the Army's moHt effective weapons is the Browning automatic rifle. Like the old Springfield, it is the infantryman's standby. This rifle embodies features upon which no improvements have been made. EQUIPPED FOR A RAID?Reconnaissance missions call for alert Minds and sharp eyes. Hundreds of infantrymen are receiving special instruction in this type of work to attain self-reliance and ssnfid?os. They sarry side-arms instead of riles. Tripp Elected Highway Chairman Columbia, April 23. ? C. M. Tripp of Easley was elected chairman of the South Carolina highway commission today succeeding Q. C.

Three Objectives In USO Campaign (Continued from first page) man's family shall suffer hardship if it can be prevented. The society gives immediate financial aid when necessary after a navy man dies from any cause; gives help in emergency operations and medical treatment in the family; provides continued aid to the navy man's dependents who need .care and helps in the education of dependent young, giving them tho right start in life. The nation is now engaged In the greatest naval war in its history and in one day at Pearl Harbor more naval casualties were inflicted than were suffered by the navy during the Spanish-American war and the World war combined. Faced with the emergency caused by this terrific toll and convinced that the needs will be large and urgent in future months, a national appeal for funds is being made for the first time in the history of the Navy. The goal is $5,000,000. The China relief program is being conducted in order that China's most urgent needs be met by funds rather than by goods. The primary purpose of the fund is to support and to extend the efforts which the Chinese people are making. Funds can be gotten into China quickly and safely through the Bank of China and the Central Bank of China. Every part of the United States? east to west, Tillage to metropolis? is participating In this United China Relief campaign. It is a united expression of American sympathy and appreciation to those brave men and women of Asia whose struggle in this war is linked with our own American destiny. Americans are urged to give to the extent of their ability, to help relieve the terrible suffering of the Chinese people, our gallant Alllee and friends.
