EDITORIALS

Victory Gardens

In this issue, we have a proc-
lamation by President Truman
requesting that Americans
again go in strongly for the
business of raising vegetables
in home gardens this year.

The Slater News thinks the
words of the President are well-
spoken, and would like to add
its endorsement to this move-
ment. When a war is fought,
all of the economics of the
world's system are thrown out
of gear because huge quantities
of supplies and materials are
lost or destroyed, and the ter-
ritory occupied by the battle-
field usually means the loss of
the products from that partic-
ular territory due to the action
of the conflict.

This is true at the present
time, and in many of the coun-
tries of Europe and in the late
Pacific theater of operations
much land is not producing,
cutting the food supply down
to quite an alarming condition.
It will take several years for
the peoples driven from their
homes by the onrush of war to
again get this land into cultiva-
tion, thus the food supply of
the world will not regulate it-
self overnight, but must be a
gradual process which will
eventually right itself.

Until this time comes the
food supply of the world will
be necessarily short, and every
bit extra that can be used will
mean that there is one less
hungry person somewhere on
the face of the earth.

There are no finer ways in
which to keep bodies in trim
and to build up bodies of young
Americans than by having a
good supply of wholesome
fresh vegetables, so we win
when we spend a little energy
in planting Victory Gardens.

Another factor in the grow-
ing of Victory Gardens is the

[bottom of column 2]

fun and exercise the gardener
gets cultivating his or her own
garden. Seeing green things
grow and the necessary exer-
cise required to cultvate a gar-
den is good for anyone. A few
hours in the sunshine and fresh
air is especially good for those
who toil indoors.

So the Slater News again en-
dorses this movement and feels
sure that the people of Slater
will again have their gardens
as they did in the war years
and will contribute to the peo-
ples of the world by growing
food for their own tables, thus
allowing some hungry person
somewhere else to have his or
her share.

SLATER
DAY BY DAY

Some schools are establish-
ing in their curriculum a type
of education that combines
practical experience with book
learning.

This is done by allowing the
student to get a job and really
work for awhile at the thing
he thinks he would like to do
for his life's occupation. This
work is done outside of school
hours, and the pupil is paid as
any other worker would be.

In this way, the pupil may
have the opportunity to try his
abilities at several different en-
terprises before he chooses the
one best suited to his talents.

Of course, this must be done
through complete cooperation
between schools and business
establishments, for each must
know how the pupil fits into
the other.

For a small community, ours
offers many opportunities for
this type of education.

In the local manufacturing
plant, one who is interested in
textiles could, as an appren-
tice, learn something about
practically every phase of
cloth making.

Or perhaps a pupil is inter-
ested in bookkeeping or steno-
graphic work.

Or maybe this pupil thinks
he is of the executive type and
would like to learn how to deal
with people and operate a busi-
ness.

Mechanics, research chemist,
and many other fields are to be
found in connection with the
making of cloth.

Or, for the sake of the argu-
ment, here is a fellow who likes
to mix things, just to see what
happens. A few weeks work-
ing with a competent pharma-
cist, and he would soon know
whether his talent was for mix-
ing drugs or something else.

Our community and the sur-
rounding school district offers
many more such opportunities.
Farming, storekeeping, barber-
ing, beautician, dietician, edu-
cation, religion, medicine, nurs-
ing—these, and perhaps more,
are already established here
and could help our students to
find the place in which they are
most likely to succeed.

For it is the pupils of today
who will be the laborers and
officials of business establish-
mens tomorrow.

What an opportunity for
school and community to work
together to build a better
school and community!

Cloth Room Chatter

Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sloan,
Jr., and Mr. Sloan's father vis-
ited Mr. and Mrs. L. T. Link
Easter Sunday.

Mr. and Mrs. George Gar-
land and family visited rela-
tives in Asheville, N. C., recent-
ly.

Mr. and Mrs. Ray Smith en-
joyed a chicken supper Satur-
day night at the Union Bleach-
ery Park. The supper was
sponsored by the Young Men's
Sunday School Class of the
Union Bleachery Baptist
Church. Mr. Smith is a mem-
ber of this class.

We are happy to hear that
Mrs. Jim Bates has returned
home after undergoing an op-
eration at the St. Francis Hos-
pital. We wish for her a speedy
recovery.

The graders report they are
enjoying their loom fixing
school very much. Two graders
go each day for a thirty minute
period. The purpose for this
school is to teach the grader
what causes each kind of de-
fect so they may understand
their grading more thoroughly.
What they have already learn-
ed has been very helpful to
them.

background of green foliage
and will be at their best during
the late fall and winter months.
Other plots throughout the vil-
lage have been planted accord-
ing to the nature of each, as
each is considered a small and
separate project.

Mr. Anderson has been in
the shrubbery business for 16
years, and since his youth has
always been interested in flow-
ers and shrubs. The plan used
here at Slater was drawn and
executed by Mr. Anderson him-
self. He will check on the pro-
ject here from time to time in
order to see that plants receive
the proper treatment and care.

The beautification of the
grounds by the addition of
new shrubbery is an effort on
the part of the Slater Manufac-
turing Co., Inc., to continue to
make the Slater village one of
the most beautiful spots in the
State. Young as the shrubbery
was this year, the azalea
blooms, which are almost over
now, were very beautiful in-
deed and gave promise that by
another year the new shrub-
bery will add much to the
beauty of the village of Slater.
