THE
Roundup
Familiarity, it is said,
breeds contempt. But to
an Edentonian, when he
think* erf his town and the
ancient landmarks scatter
ed throughout, it is a con
tempt not unmixed with
pride. As a boy I passed
the court house every day
on my way down town, to
Main Street, and to me
then the court house was
just another old building,
to be treated with a sort
of fond contempt. Many’s
the time I have climbed
the steep foliaged slopes
that partly surround Pem
broke Hall, imagining they
were mountains, but the
Hall itself was also just
another old building that
had been standing for a
long time. And so it went
with St. Paul’s, the Cup
ala House and all the
other spots around town
rich in historical lore. At
that time much of that
history escaped me, be
cause these old structures
were too close to me; I
saw them every day, and
in that manner developed a
mild contempt for them.
If I remember correctly,
my grandmother sent me
on errands that took me
to the Cupola House.

low). Hie towering cup
ola atop the building had
no awe for me; shucks, it
had been there for a long
time and I saw it every
day! And, I suppose, that
is the way it went for
most of us, and still does
for some of us. But deep
down, there isn’t an Eden
tonian who isn’t proud of
his town, for what it
stood for in the past, and
the promise of what it will
stand for in the future.
I try to tell myself I
don’t like George Wallace,
but in spite of myself I
have a sneaking liking for
the man. He has a per
sonality that I like, and
many of his views, as a
Southerner, coincide with
mine. Much of what he
believes in and says makes
good sense to me.
Reading maketh a full
man. But patronize your
local public library for
a well-balanced diet.
Men rarely losei their
temper with those to whom
they owe nothing.
