But it is immense ly more difficult tn nrotert ideals, beliefs and principles against the or^aught of ideas. There is always the danger, es pecially in times of economic dis tress. that great numbers of people will be deceived into believing that the new idaa is better than the old me. t.b*»t somehow they will fare better by discarding the an cient beliefs in such things as freedom of thought, the rights of individuals as superior to those of the state, the privilege of religious liberty, the right to speak and preach one’s opinions. It is against the insidious an- prpach of the “intolerant ideolo gies” of the dictatorships which now controls so much of the civilized world that America needs to be on its guard, far more alertly than against the weapons of phy sical warfare. txt The Public Library A Vital Need THE CHILD AND THE BOOK E council !

DO YOU KNOW: That you are depriving children ''f a part of their heritage if you fail to provide them with suitable books? That it is as important to teach children what to read, as it is to teach them how to read? How necessary it is that a child’s taste for reacting should be developed and directed bv provid ing the kind of books that will establish a desire for the best in literature? That a “balanced ration” in reading is just as necessary as it is in stock feeding? That it is more unwise to oblige children to forage for their intel lectual food than it is to force live stock to depend upon forage for subsistence? Proper and suitable books may be found at McCormick Public Library. We extend a most cordial wel come!! ! xx Birth Registration Week Observed The Rev. R. E.

So designated by the State Board of Health, this is “Birth Registration Week” in McCormick County and throughout South Carolina. The local health department, registrars of vital statistics, and other public spirited citizens of the county, by means of posters, distribution of literature, and talks, are stressing the importance of registering all children. According to Dr. T. K. Fairey, county health officer, the cam paign’s objective is “to educate all parents, white and colored, to de mand birth certificates for their children at birth”. “Too often”, said Dr. T. K. Fairey, “parents do not realize the great value of birth registra tion in the future activities of their children. When they know this, and that registration is easily secured without cost, they will make sure that each and every child in the family is ac curately registered".

During that period of time contests have been conducted annually except in 1932 and 1933, and the improvement both in yields per acre and length and quality of lint has been very striking.
