In fact, when a patriot sees clearly the bonds of interest that unite all men of good will he is in the best position to serve his bwn country’s long range interests. Yet increasing attacks are being made against Ameri can schools giving any attention to the United Nations or its agencies. Particularly under fire is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organiza tion. An official of the National Education Association points out that opposition to teaching about UNESCO “is frequently based on the false assumption that sup port of such an international cooperative body would necessarily transcend the obligation of loyalty to the United States.” Much misinformation and misinterpre tation have been used to bolster this charge. UNESCO frankly aims at cultural cooperation between nations and intemational-mindedness in individuals. It has made some mistakes, has learned a lot from experi ence, and has accomplished much good. Critics have charged it with being “atheistic”—but leaders of all re ligious faiths have played an exceptionally active part in its work. It is sometimes accused of being tainted with communism—but the Soviet Union and its satel lites, including three countries which joined it before they were fcommunized, will have nothing to do with it. It is alleged that UNESCO is trying to destroy pa triotism because of a 1946 resolution asking member states “to study their own textbooks from the point of view of their effect on international understanding.” But educators from 14 countries meeting at a UNESCO seminar subsequently agreed that “the .teaching of na tional history should have precedence over both local and world history." Thus American students need 'first of all to be grounded in the principles on which their country was founded. But if they also see their national history as a glorious chapter in the worldwide struggle of men to ward liberty they will then be able ,to measure up to their full stature as Americans and citizens of the world.—The Christian Science Monitor. Some local residents never realize what a fine place they live in—until they go away from home and try life in another place. It would be a man’s world if the good ladies kept house with the same enthusiasm that they play bridge. You can often judge the intelligence of an individual by his or her gullibility in believing rumors and reports. Never get too excited about the human race. It’s been here for a long .time and it won’t become excited about you. Successful family life depends upon the teamwork of the members of the family rather than upon individual joyrides. The loss of money seldom seriously worries an intel ligent person. It is the loss of faith that wrecks the life. Never pay any attention to political gossip that must be peddled in whispers and on the basis of strictest con fidence. There is no law of God or man which suggests that wealthy criminals should not pay the full penalty for their crimes.

EDENTON, hfcC. THURSDAY. JULY 10, 190. Heards Seen! By “BufF" t ; r * in i ' iY 1 ■ |A Maybe some of the boys in the' local National Guard unit who are in training at Port MdOleßan wish they were back home, and here’s one who wishes the very same thing. Pete Manning, who sets just about all of the type in The Herald office, is in camp, which means tliat I’m trying to do two men’s work this and next week. If this column has a lot of blank space at the end, you’ll know that I just didn’t make it. Anyway, I’ll be glad when the two weeks’ training period is over—if I can hold out that long. o— —— The County Commissioners on Monday sidetracked business long enough to talk about the weather and crops in general. During the course of their discussion one of ’em was telling about a few fellows some time ago talking about the weather, when one of ’em piped up that he used to be able to predict the weather to some extent, but since that guy Murphy down in Norfolk took it out of the Lord’s hand, he couldn’t tell a thing about it At another time this same fellow happened to be in a boat fishing with several strange people, and the, subject of weather came up relative to whether it was a good day to go fishing or not. One of the party referred to the day’s weather report, when- another in the party said, “'Shucks, I know as much about the weather as that fel low Murphy.” It so happened that Mr. Murphy was one of the fishermen in the party. Be that as it may, whether Murphy or the Lord has control of the weather, we’ve had a very agreeable change this week over last week. o As of Thursday, when I had to see Doc Griffin, I came to the conclusion that there are two' kinds of minutes. Doc had to yank out a few of my teeth, after which be stuffed what appeared to be a whole handful of soft stuff in my mouth in order to take an impression to fix up a partial plate. Almost gagging and my breathing ap paratus about shut off, Doc said, as he pushed in my mouth, that it will take only a minute. Using the same kind of a minute I would have easily caught trains I missed in my lifetime and with the same kind of a minute I’d be able to get to the ball games before they start. Being the first time I visited a dentist in a long time, I learned that their methods haven’t changed much. Doc, no doubt realizing that I am a big “fraid baby” in a dentist’s office, began to talk about fishing, even getting out his diary as far back as 1934 in which was recorded sojne almost unbelievable catches. However, all his fishing talk didn’t have any effect in taking my mind off of what he was going to do to me. Anyway, I’m now eating “zoop” for the most part until he gets my teeth fixed up. Here’s hoping no free feeds turn up in the meantime. o—: With less tljan a buck in my jeans the other day, I happened to come across the following article in a shoe manufacturing magazine. It was headed “Can You Imagine A Billion Dollars?”- and went like this: How much is a billion dollars ? Since a billion rhymes with a million, and ginQe few people ever see that much at one time (if anyone}!; it is easy for the hilmdn brain, fn its feeble way, to imagine that the two are quite close. But wait! Here’s something that will fairly jolt you off your ' easy chair. And it will help you get a better grasp of j what a.billion dollars is: Imagine yourself piling up SI,OOO bills enough to ! make a million dollars’ worth. The New York World j Telegram has figured it would make a neat pile 18 inches high. That’s easy to comprehend—a million dol lars. 1% feet high. But— If you tried to pile up enough SI,OOO bills to make a stack of one billion dollars—how high do you guess it would go? Several stories high? Wrong! One billion dollars, made up of a pile of SI,OOO bills, would reach into -the sky 1,500 feet or as high as a good 140 story building—2so feet higher than, the Empire State building. Figure it out for yourself and see. The biggest error the human mind apparently makes is thinking of a billion over a million and that it fails to realize that a billion is 1,000 times larger than a mil lion, not just 10 or 100 times larger. Yes, a billion is a pile of SI,OOO bills piled up as high as a 140 story building, while a million is only 1 % ,feet high. And that’s only ONE billion. Now, try to comprehend a figure like our national debt, 260 billion! Unswallow, if you can. Colonials Strengthen Hold On Third Place (Continued From Page One) baffled by the slants of Abernathy, who allowed only two hits, singles by Anderson and Evans.

Good Reason The mental patient walked up to the new superintendent. “We like you much better than we did the last fel low,” he said. The new official beamed. “Why?” he asked. “Oh, you seem more like bne of us.” mi OCLOCK DISTILLED ' I LONDON DRY B GIN ffl PULL PINT /A S|SG *2 1 5 H 85 Proof ?
