Watkins of the Clemson ex tension service tp discuss youth problems for the future. From every standpoint, this has been the most successful year for "tamp Long, according to Romaine Smith, camp director. During the three months camp ing period, 28 counties took their 4-H boys and girls for the five- day war institutes which were conducted this year. The total attendance of these youngsters was 2,974. A total of 560 took the intensive course in tractor care, mainte nance, and operation, including 7 girls.. Food production and conserva tion were taught to all. A total of 277 learned to swim, and most of the others improved their water techniques under ex pert supervision. Additional events at Camp Long this year were the meeting of the State Council of Farm Women, with 46 counties represented by 122 youngsters; and the State 4-H Council meeting, with 28 counties represented by 140 members. X Keep Records To See What Hens Are Doing Clemson, Sept. 16. — Keeping records on poultry flocks is a good way of checking on what the hens are doing, declares P. H. Gooding, Clemson extenson poultry special ist, reminding flock owners that now is the time to start new rec ords on poultry. October begins a new fiscal year for poultrymen keeping flock records. Anyone wishing to keep records on his flock may obtain a record book without charge from county farm or home agents. “There is a tendency to under estimate the importance of a source of income which is received in small amounts throughout the year, as from poultry, when com paring it with crops where the in come is received in large, less fre quent checks.” Mr. Gooding states. The success of the individual farmer depends upon his efficient use of facts known about his bus iness, *with a view toward making large profits. Such facts are learn ed by the keeping of accurate rec ords. Well kept records enable the poultry fanner to analyze his bus iness and make corrections and improvements where necessary. Mr. Gooding suggests that flock owners who would make a good profit from their birds make prep arations for keeping accurate rec ords on their flocks for the next fiscal year by obtaining new rec ord books before the end of Sep tember.

CATHERINE CONRAD EDWARDS Associate Editor, Parents’ Magazine * ‘Go to School’ Drive If % It is so easy to confuse patriotism with complacency when we think about teen-age workers. It’s true that the 16-year-old boy who holds a man-sized job and the girl who runs a bakery instead of collecting swing records receive our admira tion. But they need our concern too. An approving “My. but you are doing a fine job” won’t help these youngsters ten years from now, when they’re job hunting minus ed ucation and training. So it’s up to us to face that fact squarely r nd do something about it. Let v really show these earnest young j r hold ers how much we appreci: v their vacation business by takirv ■ art in the national Go To School r ' '-e or ganized by the U. S. office < f edu cation and the childen’s l"'*au of the department of labor.

You’ve i obably hesitated, afraid to damp* i an ad mirable enthusiasm for vi. k. But if we are to hold on to the remen- dous gains made in high ^ lool at tendance in the past gener tion we must get our young people back to school this fall. Citizens who do not know how to think, or think they know it all, are handicapped in making a valuable contribution to a progressive community. Success in their first jobs, earned through youthful energy rather than skill or aptitude, can so int.oxv'ate youth that they make skeptical lis teners to parental advice on fur thering one’s education. It is here that community effort is needed to bolster home grown advice. In ad dition to local school authorities and War Manpower commission offi cials, organizations of parents and teachers, employers, business men, labor unions, churches, youth-serv ing agencies, and young people themselves should be represented on a Go To School committee. There may be a policeman who knows large numbers of young people, likes them, and cares mightily what happens to them. He should be in vited to join. The man behind the counter of the corner drugstore where young people congregate would make an excellent member. So might the manager of a neigh borhood movie house, a clergyman, or a radio-station manager. But, most important, enlist the co operation of everyone who has worked for a living for at least 10 years. Only by hearing the experi ences of such persons—the search for a job, the struggle to master a trade, the first pride in achieve ment, only to be followed by the slowly awakened realization that more training, more education would have made him an essential worker rather than a routine job holder-such stories will help great ly to convince boys and girls that continuing their education offers them the best chance of economic survival in the postwar worlc r . f * t » q k • YOURS FOR BETTER VISION If I can help you, I will do my best; \ If I can’t, I will frankly tell you so.
