REHOBOTH
NEWS
Miss Adalaide Chandler spent the
week end with Mrs. E. M. Winn. Miss
Chandler’s school closes Tuesday.
She has given the Rehoboth School
the last four weeks since the public
term was out just to finish up the
grades. She is an unusually fine
tention, “such affectation cannot be
moderate,” she points cut. “It must'
continually strain for new effects or
it ceases tc- challenge. So courses
the action begun in the desire to ar
rest notice become more and more
bold and foolhardy until frequently
there is a smash of some sort.”
Citing examples from her own
experience, Mrs. Cosgrave contends
that many girls of the “wild” type

A Fence Needed.
Around Reservior
mUsk- J
The Messenger wants to call to the
attention of the mayor, councilmen,
public works commissioners and the
parents of McCormick, the great
danger of some innocent little child
losing its life in the town’s water
reservoir—and all for the lack of a
good wire fence to keep the little ones
from gett’ng too close to the water.
The ban&s are ateep and the water
' is. deep all, around the edges, and to
fall into it would mean death to a
small child or any one who can’t
swim.
A suitable fence can be erected for
something like a hundred to two
hundred dollars, and we don’t think
there'is a person within the town’s
borders who would object to the
town council having the fenc.e_ built
uhmed'ately, even if the cost should
double the amount mentioned. The
fence could be -built just-at the top
of the bank with the top cf the fence
leaning away from the pond to such
degree that no child could climb
. Cjver it. The children living nearest
the pond are not the only ones in
danger, for, without the knowledge
cr consent of their parents, many of
them go from other parts of town to
play on the banks or near the pond,
and the only way to keep them away
from this danger is to build a fence
that will turn them.
We trust that the authorities will
-look into this matter at once and
Tuive the fence built without delay—«
before some little boy or some lit
tle girl loses his or her life in the
water.

They Seek To
Be Popular
*
t ~
The daring girl—the one who is
the first of her group to smoke a
•cigarette or take a drink, who wears
the shortest skirts and affects the
most shocking conversation—is us
ually motivated by nothing mete
than a pathetic desire to be populafc\
This is the conclusion of Jessica
Cosgrave, president of the Finch
School for Girls, who has been teach
er and counselor to hundreds of girls
through their teens.
“The desire to be conspicuous in
'the hope that popularity may follow
explains why every group has, and
always has had, its extreme mem
bers,” says Mrs. Cosgrave.
The pathetic aspect she points out
is that frequently such girls would
rather ndt be considered “wild,” but
lacking either mental or physical
qualities and accomplishments which
-attract others they seek to avoid
mediocrity by making themselves
conspicuous by their daring.
“They do whatever is being done a
little more emphatically than anyone
else,” she says. “If skirts are long,
theirs trail around them; if short,
they go abeve the knees. If hats are
large or poked, their features are
extinguished by their headgear.
'They adopt the extreme styles in
dancing and frequqptly go almost
or quite over the line in acts of
questionable propriety, or even mor
ality, not—at least at the beginning
—-because there is anything really
wr<*ig about them, but because they
are so anxious to be the first and
most conspicuous in everything they
do.”

The Progressive Farmer asserts
that “nearly all South Carolina”
needs to “wake up to the necessity
of gettirg more cows—'more cows
for the home milk supply and more
cows fcT commercial dairying.”
Charleston County is “excused” be
cause it is a “city county.”
As conditions stand, South Caro
linians are importing far too great
a quantity of milk, cream and butter
because the farms do not maintain
enough dairy cows. The need for
more and larger commercial cream
eries will not ecYne until the “raw
material” is available i n their neigh
borhoods.
Before milk and fresh cream are
sold to creameries, enough should
be produced for home consumption.
This is primary. As it is, many
country homes are, without fresh
milk, and their butter is purchased
in stores.
The statistics furnished by the
Progressive Farmer show that the
tidewater counties are far behind
the dairy parade. It is a conditton
that has been stressed by demonstra
tion agents for some years. The
comparative figures drive home the
poverty of dairy herds on and near
the seaboard.
So long as the people of coastal
Carolina import cream and butter,
they will be exporting many thous
ands of dollars that ought to stay in
circulation nearer home. So long as
these conditions obtain, the prosper
ity of the coastal region is hinaered.
So far as Charleston County is
concerned, the city of Charleston
draws milk and cream supplies from
other counties, a situation applying
to other cities of Charleston’s size.
By and large in this county the pro
gram of the cow the hog and the
hen should be more developed among
farmers.—News and Courier.

An echo is the only thing that has
the last word with some people.
Most Men Of The
Greatest Value Be
yond The Age Of 50
(By S. W. Straus, President of the
American Society for Thrift.)
Not enough attention is paid to
the waste of the human element -in
our economic life. We are learning
short-cuts and processes of elimin
ating this or that form of waste in
business. But in the attitude of many
individuals dr corporations through
which either directly or by implica
tion workers over 60 years of age
are declared no longer useful, we
have a form of misguided efficiency
that is wrong both in principle and
practice.
There may be certain isolated
types of work that ean be performed
better by younger persons. These
are forms df employment in which
quickness and agility may count for
more than anything else. But there
are quite as many, if not more, lines
of endeavor in which experience,
judgment and dependability count
for more than all other factors.
It has become a sort of tradition
that after workers have reached a
stage where they are not quite as
agile and active as they were in the
days cf their youth, they should be
set aside as so much worn out mach
inery. But actual observation among
individuals will show that this the
ory, which is the antithesis of real
thrift, cannot be applied in anything
like the majority of cases.
A prominent American surgeon
recently made the statement that 50
was the average age at which 400
of the famous men of history had
done their best work but that today
the leaders in various lines of activ
ity attain the heights of proficiency
about midway between 60 and 70.
According to this same authority,
the practice of corporations, institu
tions of learning and others in re
tiring their men at 60 means a waste
of their best grains for “85 per cent
of the big things done today are the
wotk of men past 50. There is no
reason why a man who shows init
iative up to the age of 60 should
quit showing it after 60.”
We have built up in social practice
an insincere and inconsistent sym
pathy for the elderly worker. The
majority of these men and women do
not need our sympathies nor our
charitable inclinations. All they need
is a just attitude and a decent ap
praisal of their real worth.
We could with high consistency do
less talking about saving money and
conserving natural resources and de
vote more thought to the rightful
conservation of the values of work
ers who, because of their age, are
discarded long before their days of
actual usefulness are over.
