FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS Go 'Back To School' To Really Learn By Clare D. Smith AMERICANA Cities To See Houston-Wonder City Down South Houstoa ship channel Capital of the U. S. petro-chemical and petroleum industries, Hous ton, Texas, has a reputation for industrial might. But this largest city in the South (now eighth-largest in the nation) is also a major XJ. S. tourist center. Last year KZLM Royal Dutch Airlines inaugurated direct air service between Houston and Europe, making Houston the first city in the South and Southwest to possess such a link. But Houston is no newcomer to the fields of in ternational trade and commerce. For many years, the city has been •one of America's busiest deepsea ports. Houston’s astonishing growth (from a population of 63,000 in 1900 to 1,195,000) has, in fact, been closely tied to the growth of her port. Port. Houston, located 50 miles inland from die Gull of Mexico, was opened to deep sea commerce shortly after the turn •of the century. It is estimated that no other city in the world has on its doorstep such a wealth of natural resources as dnt with which Houston is blessed. The super abundance of mineral wealth, the geograhpic location, and rich agricultural hin terland each contribute to Hous ton’s destiny. Oil derricks stand out against the skyscrapers. A rich oil strike is even paying off in the city dump. Location places Houston in the semi-tropical class with balmy breezes right off the Gulf of Mexi co. The city lies in the center of the Coastal Prairie, an area of generally flat topography and fer tile soil. With less than 5 per cent of the land area ot Texas, this region in 1954 produced 90 per cent of the state’s rice and nearly 28 per cent of the nation's total tonnage for that crop. Houston has 109 parks and muni cipal golf courses, hundreds of swimming pools, parks and zoos, and eight regulation baseball fields. The Port of Houston is third- ranked deepsea port in the UJS. in total tonnage moved.

Longshore Dies Suddenly Charlie Herbert (Hub) Long shore, 57, died Sunday night at his residence, Route One, Kina 'ds. He had been in declining health for the past four years, but death came suddenly. Mr. Longshore was born and reared in the Trinity section of Newberry County, a son of the late James Jacob and Mrs. Sara Hendrix Longshore. He had made his home in the Bush River sect ion for a number of years. He was a member of Trinity Methodist Church. He was twice married first to the former Miss Grace Dowd, who died in 1943. He was later married to Helen Merchant who survives. Surviving are his wife and two sons, C. H. Longshore, Ji\, of Augusta Ga., and Frank H. Long shore of Joanna; three daughters, Mrs. R. E.

Burial followed in the church cemetery. September brings more than a litUe chill in the air . . . it means the return to school and, for most teenagers, more dates with the books than with the “steady.” The teenager with ambitions and plans, who has the desire to make a place for himself or herself in the adult world that looms ever closer, will put schoolwork first and social life in the second position. And, the wise parent will exercise whatever parental authority is necessary to see that this is done. The school term need not be an exile in “Siberia.” There is fun as well as work to be found in school activities and associations. It would be difficult today to find a school that does not offer its students the opportunity to par ticipate in sports,' debating groups, and various other activities. Most students take part in these activi ties or belong to a school group or association of one type or an other. It is an unusual student <\vho cannot find some school ac tivity that appeals to him. With it all, however, the forward- looking teenager should remember that he goes to school to get an edu cation. The school term is a stepping stone along the pathway of life and each student makes his own path as the term moves along. The student who is interested only in “getting by” will one day find that his school ef forts do not look so appealing in the plain black and white report that will be a part of his credentials when he starts job hunting. In school work, as in life, one always gets a return for the ef forts put forth* Getting the most out of school requires the proper mixture of study activity and so cial activity. Both have a job to do in preparing for the future . . . and every teenager, whether will ing to admit it or not, knows whether he or she is just trying to ' get by” or is seriously putting forth an effort.

Vets Urged To Convert NSL1 Many of the 3,200,000 Worlr War II veterans who hold term GI life insurance may find them selves at “the point of no return” unless they plan their insurane futures now. That’s the word of caution sounded today by Hugh H. Hend- efson, Contact Officer of the Vet erans Administration Regional Office in Columbia, South Caro lina. He identified the veterans as those who expect life-time pro tection from their term GI pol icies, ignoring the spiraling cost of term insurance as they grow older. Term insurance affords maxi mum protection at minimum cost, during the years it is usually needed for a growing family. It is seldom suitable for protection in a policyholder’s advanced age, Mr. Henderson said. As an example, he cited a vet eran paying an annual gross pre mium, not counting dividends of $102 on a $10,000 term policy at age 40. The gross premium at age 65 will have jumped to $476.40 an nually —and to $741.60 at age 70. The way out is conversion of all or part of the term policy to a permanent-type plan, where pre mium rates remain the same from year to year.

It is well known to practically every American. The modest home shown above was a favorite retreat for one of America’s most famous and distinguished citizens. Pine trees in the photograph indicate hat it is located in the South ern part of the United States. Built on the slopes of Pine Mountain, by a man who during his life time lived in many sumptuous residences, the home shown above is small but impressive. An attraction that draws many visitors to the State of Georgia, the home and its interior have been retained -substantially as they were when the famous owner died there April 12, 1945. This home is in Warm Springs, Georgia and was built by a President of the United States who first went there in 1924 to test its pools as an aid in recovery from infantile paralysis which struck him in 1921. The most famous president, of course, is Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the famous home pictured above is “The Little White House” at Warm Springs, Georgia.
