It is not a matter of ripe cheeks, red lips ,and supple knees; h is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagi nation,, a vigor of the emotions. It is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity,' of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of fifty more than in a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. ^ People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin; but to give up your enthusi asm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair—these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the irweet amazement at the stars and at star-like things and thoughts, the un daunted challenge of .events, the unfailing, childlike appetite for what next, and the joy of the game of living. (You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.) In the central place of your heart is an evergreen tree; its name is love. So long as it flourishes you are young. When it dies vou are old. In the central place of your heart is a wireless station. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, gprandeur, courage and power from God and your fellow men, so long are you young. —Au/fahor unknown.

These lunches are prepared by trained worker* at each of the 17 participating schools in the county. Menus are scientifically planned to provide a balanced, nutritious lunch ■tor each child:- Minimum amounts of proteins, vegetables and firuits must be serv^. The greater part of the expense of these lunches is borne by the Federal and State governments which during this time have spent over $16,000 in the Kershaw county lunch program. Recently there was an item pub lished in The State stating that an additional allotment has been ap- ropriated for the school lunch pro ram.

The people as a ‘whole have met these requests in a most commendable manner—proof enough that we are not so self-centered that we give no thought to less fortunate ones. That is the reason I know that if our people could see and. realise some of the misery right here in our own front yards, then enough Intereet would be aroused, enough initiative taken, enough progressive planning accomplished to result in the estab lishment of a nursing home for these pitiful cases. “It is BO easy to read about the mis fortunes of others, to sympathize with them, even to make a promise to oneself to do hi* bit for them—and then to forget it ail in the many di- verston* of everyday* living. That is why I make this appeal to the people of our county: for each to take it a* an individual duty to see that this neglect is corrected. Please Join the few of os who see these people in their misery, so that we , will have support enough to push our plans to completion, instead of seeing this as Just another chance for doing some thing really constructive fall by the wayside. You can help us immeasur- ably by writing to each of our leg islators expressing your interest and desire to see this nnrsing home be come a reality in the near future.
